IDS = Intrusion Detection System.
Think of it as a burglar alarm for your network. It watches your traffic and ALERTS you the second it spots an intruder.
The catch everyone misses: an IDS DETECTS, it does not block. Blocking is it's cousin, the IPS.

FIREWALL ๐งฑ
A security guard for your network.
It checks every packet of data against a rulebook and blocks anything that doesn't belong. Trusted traffic in, sketchy traffic out.
You've heard the word. Could you explain it in an interview?
A tech term every week ๐๐พ

New here? I'm building TechLexicon, a game that turns terms like this into stuff you actually remember. Link in bio to try it ๐๐พ
What term should I break down next?
SQL is on almost every tech interview, and reading about it will not save you ๐
SQL Query Lab is now inside TechLexicon: write real queries against a live database on your phone, tap to build, instant feedback, SELECT to windows functions.
Free to start ๐ฎ

Why doesn't Amazon crash on Black Friday? ๐
A load balancer spreads incoming traffic across many servers, so no single one crashes.
A new tech term every week, built to actually stick ๐ฎ

@omkarships Analytical skills
Hence the creation of Data Analysts, Data Engineers, and Data Science.
Data is wealth the new gold. He who has the data has the power! And he who has the ability to analyze, predict, and possibly manipulate the data will probably be highly sought after
๐ข It is Launch Day! TechLexicon is live on Product Hunt.
I built it so learning cloud, DevOps, security, and more feels like playing, not studying. If it resonates, a comment on the launch means a lot:

@mindinpanic Appreciate that! Networking was a beast ๐ญ Subnetting and the OSI layers are abstract and dry on paper, so I turned them into quick build and troubleshoot challenges instead of memorization. What are you learning right now?
Quick question while you are here: what tech term or acronym did you have to Google way too many times before it finally stuck? Mine was "idempotent." ๐๐พ
I built a game that teaches tech terms and real skills: cloud, DevOps, networking, databases, security.
Live on iOS and Android. Launching on Product Hunt this Tuesday.

Someone needed SQL interview practice and had nowhere good to do it โ so I built one. ๐ ๏ธ
A free interactive SQL practice page: real database in your browser, no signup, real interview questions.
What SQL concept trips people up most? ๐
