Network Basics for Hackers: How Networks Work and How They Break
Serves as a comprehensive guide to fundamental networking concepts from a hacker's perspective. It begins by covering TCP/IP basics, including subnetting, CIDR notation, IP addressing (IPv4, public vs. private, classes), and ports. The text then progresses to network analysis tools like tcpdump and Wireshark, demonstrating packet filtering and header examination. Subsequent sections thoroughly explore various network types and protocols, such as Linux firewalls (iptables), Wi-Fi (802.11) with security protocols (WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA3) and attack methods (WPS, Evil Twin, PMKID), Bluetooth, ARP, DNS, SMB, SMTP, and SNMP. Finally, the guide expands into advanced topics like automobile networks (CAN protocol), SCADA/ICS communication protocols (Modbus), and radio frequency (RF) hacking (SDR), emphasizing the practical application of these concepts for both offensive and defensive cybersecurity.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/cyber_security_summaryGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Network-Basics-Hackers-Networks-Break/dp/B0BS3GZ1R9?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=f52c6f1f98359dd7139e8b4d82c82f03&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
