Week 8

 The internet protocol version 6 (IPV6) is a suite of standard protocols for the network layer of the Internet, IPV6 is designed to solve many of the problems of the current Internet protocol suite (IPV4) about address depletion, security, and auto-configuration. IPV6 expands the capability of the internet to enable new kinds of applications including peer-to-peer and mobile applications.

IPV6 addresses are 128 bits long, the reason for this is to subdivide the available addresses into a hierarchy of routing domains that reflect the internet's topology. The total number of IPV6 addresses in the world is 340 undecillions, an example of an IPV6 address is 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e: 0370:7334. It is represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, each group representing 16 bits. The groups are separated by colons, the first 64 bits of the address are for routing and the last 64 bits are for representing the interface or node.

System Hardening Week 9

  Assume Breach and Be Proactive: Traditional cybersecurity is reactive, responding to known attack methods. However, sophisticated adversaries continuously evolve their tactics to bypass security solutions. Threat hunting operates under an “assume breach” mindset. It seeks to uncover indications of attack (IOA) that haven’t been detected yet. The goal is to outthink the attacker by identifying and mitigating threats before they access sensitive data.

Week 7 Cloud Computing.

  Cloud Computing vs. Internet of Things (IoT) Cloud Computing Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services (such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics) over the internet ("the cloud"). Key characteristics include: ·          On-Demand Resources : Users can access resources as needed without physical hardware. ·          Scalability : Easily scale resources up or down based on demand. ·          Cost-Effectiveness : Pay-as-you-go pricing models reduce the need for significant upfront investments in hardware. ·          Accessibility : Access services from anywhere with an internet connection. Internet of Things (IoT) The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected devices that collect and exchange data. These devices can include anything from smart home appliances t...

week 10 Cloud Computing.

  File Storage Description: Structure: Hierarchical, using directories and subdirectories. Data Organization: Files are stored with metadata like filename, timestamps, and permissions. Advantages: Familiarity: Easy for users to understand and manage, akin to traditional file systems. Ideal Use Cases: Great for storing and managing documents, media files, and shared drives. Block Storage Description: Structure: Data is divided into fixed-sized blocks. Data Organization: Each block has a unique identifier, but no metadata is attached directly. Advantages: Performance: High performance and low latency. Flexibility: The operating system can be formatted and used as required. Ideal Use Cases: Databases: Suitable for database applications. Virtual Machines: Commonly used for VM storage and high-performance applications.
