Computer Networking

Computer Networking is the practice of connecting two or more computers and devices to share data,

resources, and communication.

Types of Networks:

- LAN: Local Area Network (e.g., home or office)

- MAN: Metropolitan Area Network (e.g., city-wide)

- WAN: Wide Area Network (e.g., the Internet)

- PAN: Personal Area Network (e.g., Bluetooth)

Network Devices:

- Router: Connects different networks

- Switch: Connects devices in a LAN

- Modem: Converts digital and analog signals

- Hub: Basic device to connect multiple systems

Internet and Terminology

The Internet is a global network of interconnected computers using standard protocols.

Basic Terms:

- IP Address: Unique ID for devices (e.g., 192.168.1.1)

- URL: Uniform Resource Locator (web address)

- HTTP/HTTPS: Web communication protocols (S = Secure)

- ISP: Internet Service Provider (e.g., Jio, Airtel)

- Bandwidth: Data transfer rate

- Domain Name: Human-friendly website address

- DNS: Translates domain names into IP addresses

- Firewall: Blocks unauthorized access

- Spyware: Secretly records user activities

- DoS: Overloads system to crash it

- Man-in-the-Middle: Intercepts communication

- SQL Injection: Attacks via malicious database queries

Cyber Security

Cyber Security protects systems, networks, and data from attacks.

Goals of Cyber Security:

- Confidentiality: Keep data private

- Availability: Ensure data is accessible

Types of Security:

- Network Security: Protects network connections

- Application Security: Safeguards software

- Information Security: Protects data

- Cloud Security: Protects cloud systems

- Endpoint Security: Protects individual devices

Best Practices:

- Use strong passwords

- Enable antivirus/firewall

- Regular software updates


Relational Database Model in DBMS

- Avoid suspicious links

- Use two-factor authentication
