Day 10/60 #the_cyberforge
Key takeaways:
• Client vs Server: Role depends on software, not hardware.
• ISPs: Connect LANs using cellular, fiber, or satellite.
• Fiber Grid: Undersea/underground cables form the internet backbone.
Onto Day 11! 🔥
#60daysofcyberforge
CyberForge Day 08 re-do! ⚒️ No shortcuts in mastering networking foundations.
Covered the OSI vs TCP/IP models, watched Data transform into Segments ➡️ Packets ➡️ Frames ➡️ Bits, and played with command-line switches for Ping and Dig.
Ready for Day 09! 🚀
#TechJourney#Networking
CyberForge Day 8: Networking Bedrock 🚀
Hit @TryHackMe's Intro to LAN rooms today.
• IP vs MAC: IP = phone number (can change), MAC = physical fingerprint (can be spoofed).
• Protocols: ARP maps IP to MAC; DHCP automates IPs.
• Verified connections via ping.

@MicrosoftLearn 💻 PowerShell Enumeration:
• Tested it hands-on! My lab environment runs Windows 10 IoT Enterprise.
• Ran network commands and saw listening ports like 445 & 135 wide open. Real eye-opener for hidden entry points!
On to Day 7! 🚀 #CyberSecurity#the_cyberForge (4/4)
Day 06/60 #CyberForge Challenge 🇳🇬🛠️
Massive day! Cleared the Computer Types lab on TryHackMe/Medium + bagged my @MicrosoftLearn "Explore Computers" achievement badge.
Dug into computer history and ran some deep PowerShell labs. Thread 👇 (1/4)
@MicrosoftLearn 🧠 History & Hardware:
• Mastered the 4 pillars: Processor, Memory (RAM), Storage, & Network adapters.
• Learning how scientists used old magnetic memory before HDDs/SSDs exists is mind-blowing. Kudos to those early scientists ooo! (3/4)
@tryhackme 🦴 The Motherboard:
• Think of it like a human skeleton. It holds everything together and acts as the communications highway so the CPU, RAM, and storage can talk to each other.
On to Day 6! 🚀 #CyberSecurity#TryHackMe#the_cyberforge (3/3)
@tryhackme 🧠 CPU & RAM:
• The CPU runs on a strict Fetch, Decode, and Execute cycle to process commands.
• RAM is temporary memory—it holds what you're doing right now and wipes when power cuts. Long-term files stay safe on the hard drive. (2/3)
Day 05/60 #CyberForge Challenge 🇳🇬🛠️
Going under the hood today! Completed the @TryHackMe "Inside a Computer System" room.
Before analyzing malware or forensics, you have to know how the hardware actually talks. Breakdown 👇 (1/3)
@tryhackme 🔑 MFA & Wi-Fi Safety:
• One password is a trap because people reuse them. MFA & Password Managers fix this.
• Free public Wi-Fi is risky because hackers can sniff data. Backups mean you can wipe and restore if hit.
On to Day 5! 🚀 (4/4)
Day 04/60 #CyberForge Challenge 🇳🇬🛠️
Beating the midnight clock! Completed the @TryHackMe Common Attacks room
Learnt how hackers trick people and bypass passwords. Quick breakdown of my lens 👇 (1/4)
@tryhackme 🔒 Malware & Ransomware:
• Malware uses automated code to secretly steal your data.
• Ransomware encrypts everything useful on your system, locks you out, and demands a cash ransom before they decrypt it. (3/4)
