HTTP Protocol and how it works.

GitHub - VanHakobyan/HTTP-Protocol-Manipulation: HTTP, Protocol , Manipulation,

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the backbone of the World Wide Web. It is a client-server protocol used for exchanging data and information between a web browser and a web server. HTTP allows a web browser to send a request to a server for a specific resource and receive a response in return. The protocol was first introduced in 1991 and has been continuously updated to meet the changing needs of the internet.

HTTP is stateless, meaning that the server does not retain any information about the client between requests. Each request is treated as a separate transaction, and the server must process the request and send a response before it can move on to the next request. This allows for scalability and eliminates the need for server-side storage of session data.

HTTP uses a request-response model. The client sends a request to the server, which then processes the request and sends back a response. The request message consists of several components, including a method (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier), headers (e.g., Accept-Encoding, User-Agent), and a message body (optional). The response message also has several components, including a status code (e.g., 200 OK, 404 Not Found), headers (e.g., Content-Type, Content-Length), and a message body (optional).

HTTP operates on the application layer of the internet protocol stack and uses TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) to ensure reliable data transmission. HTTP is a text-based protocol, with requests and responses transmitted as plain text. This makes it simple for developers to debug and inspect the requests and responses, and it also makes it easier to develop and implement the protocol.

There are several versions of HTTP in use today, with HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 being the latest versions. HTTP/2 was introduced in 2015 and is an improved version of HTTP/1.1. It offers several new features, including server push, multiplexing, and header compression, which make it faster and more efficient than its predecessor. HTTP/3, introduced in 2018, is the first major revision of the protocol since 1999 and is built on top of the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) instead of TCP. This allows for reduced latency and improved performance, making it ideal for use in high-bandwidth, low-latency applications.

In conclusion, HTTP is an essential component of the internet and is used by billions of people around the world to access information and resources online. The protocol is simple, efficient, and flexible, and it has been continuously updated to meet the changing needs of the internet. Whether you are a web developer or a casual user, understanding the basics of HTTP is important for a better appreciation of the web and its underlying technologies.

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
