Anecdote of a networking class (Marcos Samuel)

 Hello, I'm going to tell you a curious thing that happened to me during my first year at Puenteuropa, a professional training center. It was a very fun day for me because we were going to have a class on networks and we were going to climb up some ethernet cables for the first time.


Being the clumsy person that I am, I plugged in the RJ45 cable in both ends. When it came time to insert it into the NIC interface on the computer and seeing that there was no network, I thought I had made a mistake with the color order and immediately tried to remove the cable from the NIC.

NIC interface

I saw that it wouldn't come out and it was very hard to pull on it, so to avoid making a bigger mess, I called Juan Carlos and he saw that the RJ45 connected to the NIC was stuck for some reason, and then he called Roberto and he saw that the RJ45 I had previously climbed up was defective from the factory, I think the cause was that the pins on the RJ45 were one on top of the other or something like that.


In conclusion, I broke a network card or that's what I think. Since that day, I pay close attention to what I buy so that it doesn't have any defects. And finally, I felt a little bad for breaking that. (I don't know if Roberto was able to fix the network card, let's hope so).

MONTAJE MODDING

 En el mundo de la informática, un MODDING PC es el proceso de alterar el hardware y el software de un ordenador para darle un aspecto y un funcionamiento únicos. El interior y exterior del dispositivo sufrirán alternación es estéticas sin afectar necesariamente a los ajustes de software. Es más, es posible que en ocasiones los atributos de un equipo puedan mejorarse mediante ajustes y personalizaciones. El abanico de modificaciones opciones en un MODDING es muy amplio. Ya sea para el diseño o estética, el mayor beneficio del MODDING de PC es la oportunidad de contar tu propia historia, manteniendo la funcionalidad y el rendimiento. Nos podemos encontrar con 2 tipos de modificaciones del PC: internas o externas, o ambas. La modificacion del software, que incluye el overclocking, el ajuste de la BIOS, de la RAM y almacenamiento interno  Hay una amplia gama de herramientas especializadas para tener en cuenta a la hora de diseñar un MODDING como por ejemplo: Instrumentos de corte  Pintura

The wiring day (Raul Garcia)

This wednesday we had an special class. Instead of having or usual AWS lections, we had to make lots of Ethernet cables, wich, might sound boring, but sure it wasnt. We started slow, there was more than 2 hours left, and the recess was just around the corner, we only had to make 28 wires, which had to be more than 5 meters long. Only a few cables were made when the recess started, when we came back we kept going with our chore Every single wire had to be made with caution, just a small mistake and all the process had to be started again, which made the work quite stressful. Luckly I didnt make any mistake, and managed to make 4 cables. The last hour of the work was the worst, only then was when we realiced how many of them were missing, so all of us, tired and stressed started to make as many as possible to reach the goal. At the end all of the class managed to make 25 in total, which wasnt 28, but close enough to be ok. At least for me it was a really fun experience, and we will have

Understanding Nmap: A Powerful Network Exploration Tool in Kali Linux

- What is Nmap and how does it works? Nmap is a network exploration tool, and explains its basic functionality. Nmap uses various network protocols to scan and identify hosts and services on a network. - Understanding Nmap's different scan types and their purposes There are many different types of scans in Nmap, such as TCP, UDP, SYN, and others. - Tips for optimizing Nmap scans and avoiding detection You can optimize their Nmap scans for better results, such as adjusting timing options and using scan flags. Additionally, strategies to avoid detection by firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDS) are covered. - Real-world examples of how Nmap can be used in network exploration and security assessments Nmap can be used in network exploration and security assessments - Nmap can be used in practical scenarios, such as identifying vulnerable systems, detecting open ports, and assessing network security. Nmap can be integrated with other tools, such as Metasploit and Ne
