Packet Tracer is a cross-platform visual simulation tool designed by Cisco Systems that allows users to create network topologies and imitate modern computer networks. The software allows users to simulate the configuration of Cisco routers and switches using a simulated command line interface. Packet Tracer makes use of a drag and drop user ...
Snort. Snort is a free open source network intrusion detection system (IDS) and intrusion prevention system (IPS) [4] created in 1998 by Martin Roesch, founder and former CTO of Sourcefire. [5][6] Snort is now developed by Cisco, which purchased Sourcefire in 2013. [7][8][9] In 2009, Snort entered InfoWorld 's Open Source Hall of Fame as one of ...
t. e. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical and distributed name service that provides a naming system for computers, services, and other resources on the Internet or other Internet Protocol (IP) networks. It associates various information with domain names (identification strings) assigned to each of the associated entities.
Details. dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder, designed to provide DNS (and optionally DHCP and TFTP) services to a small-scale network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. dnsmasq's DHCP server supports static and dynamic DHCP leases, multiple networks and IP address ranges.
Request for Comments. A Request for Comments (RFC) is a publication in a series from the principal technical development and standards-setting bodies for the Internet, most prominently the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). [1][2] An RFC is authored by individuals or groups of engineers and computer scientists in the form of a memorandum ...
Server Message Block (SMB) enables file sharing, printer sharing, network browsing, and inter-process communication (through named pipes) over a computer network. SMB serves as the basis for Microsoft's Distributed File System implementation. SMB relies on the TCP and IP protocols for transport. This combination allows file sharing over complex ...
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR / ˈsaɪdər, ˈsɪ -/) is a method for allocating IP addresses for IP routing. The Internet Engineering Task Force introduced CIDR in 1993 to replace the previous classful network addressing architecture on the Internet. Its goal was to slow the growth of routing tables on routers across the Internet, and ...
A Name Authority Pointer (NAPTR) is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System of the Internet. [1][2] NAPTR records are most commonly used for applications in Internet telephony, for example, in the mapping of servers and user addresses in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The combination of NAPTR records with Service Records ...
