NAT explanation

 NAT, or Network Address Translation, is a technology used to allow multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address.

With NAT, each device on the private network is assigned a unique private IP address. When a device on the private network wants to communicate with a device on the Internet, NAT maps the private IP address of the device to the public IP address of the network. This allows multiple devices on the private network to share a single public IP address, and helps to conserve the limited number of public IP addresses available.

There are two main types of NAT:

  1. Static NAT: This type of NAT maps a single private IP address to a single public IP address. This is typically used when a device on the private network needs to be accessible from the Internet, such as a web server or a remote desktop.

  2. Dynamic NAT: This type of NAT maps multiple private IP addresses to a single public IP address. This is typically used in networks where multiple devices need to access the Internet, but only a single public IP address is available. Dynamic NAT maps private IP addresses to the public IP address dynamically, as needed.

In addition, there is another type of NAT called Port Address Translation (PAT), which allows multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address by mapping multiple private IP addresses to a single public IP address, but using different port numbers. This allows multiple devices to communicate with the Internet using the same public IP address, but with different port numbers to distinguish between the different devices.

Overall, NAT is an important technology that allows networks to conserve the limited number of public IP addresses available, while still allowing multiple devices to access the Internet. The type of NAT that is best suited to a particular network will depend on the network's requirements, such as the number of devices that need to access the Internet, and the level of security required.

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
