Internet

1. Network

   • Computers connected together
   • Communication
   • LAN
     • Local Area Network
       • Easier to manage security, only need to communicate with machines on that network
       • Used in a school or small business'
   • WAN
     • Wide area Network
       • The internet is the biggest WAN there is
   • Network Management
   • Sharing of resources
   • Client Server
     • Files are stored centrally, easier to manage
   • Peer to Peer Server
     • Can potentially take down all computers if the server goes boom
     • Connecting computers together but the computers are also the server

2. Connections

   • NIC
     • Network Interface Card
   • Wired
     • Ethernet, Copper Cable, Fiber Optic
   • Wireless
     • Wi Fi, 4G

3. Devices

   • Switch
   • Router
     • a device which forwards data packets to the appropriate parts of a computer network.
   • Ethernet Cable
     • Ethernet cables connect devices together within a local area network, like PCs, routers, and switches.
   • NIC
     • A circuit board or card that is installed in a computer so that it can be connected to a network.
   • WAP
     • a specification for a set of communication protocols to standardize the way that wireless devices can be used for Internet access
   • Cellular Devices
   • 4G/3G Towers

4. Protocols

   • HTTP
     • Hypertext Transfer Protocol This is the set of rules governing how hypertext is moved around the internet
   • HTTPS
     • HTTP Secure Encrypts data that is sent across the internet, it cannot be read if intercepted
   • POP3
     • Post Office Protocol Version 3 Protocol used for accessing emails and is commonly used in Microsoft Outlook to take the emails from an online location

   • FTP
     • File Transfer Protocols How files are moved from one computer to another across the internet
   • TCP/IP
     • Transfer Control Protocol Internet Protocol Their collective role is to break up data into packets
   • Ethernet
     • Set of rules that governs how data is formatted for transmission across a local area network
   • Wi-Fi
     • Control how datais transmitted wirelessly on a local area network

5. Topologies

   • Star
   • Ring
   • Bus
   • Mesh

6. Security

   • Security Firewalls Encryption
   • Cyber Attacks
     • Social Engineering Phishing(for morons), Shoulder Surfing Phishing from a "bank" to provide details Shoulder Surfing is spying on people for their details
   • Unpatched software
   • USB Devices
     • Go onto a computer and copy files from someone elses account
   • Eavesdropping
     • As data is being sent across the internet, bits can be robbed but only small bits
   • The Cloud
     • Using a server to hack into another server containing information or hacking into the server directly

7. Ethical Hacking

   • Hackers hacking at code to find flaws in the system for a company
