¿What is RDP?


The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft that enables users to connect to remote Windows-based systems from other devices. RDP is used to provide remote access to a graphical user interface (GUI) of Windows-based systems, allowing users to interact with the system as if they were physically present at the computer. The protocol allows users to access a remote desktop, remote applications, and other resources on a remote Windows-based system.

RDP is designed to work over a network and operates on TCP/IP. The protocol is typically configured to use port 3389, but it can be configured to use other ports as well. RDP uses a combination of bitmap compression, caching, and other techniques to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over the network, which helps to minimize latency and optimize performance.

RDP supports a variety of features, including encryption and authentication, clipboard sharing, printer redirection, file system redirection, and more. RDP also provides a mechanism for multiple users to connect to a single Windows-based system simultaneously, known as Remote Desktop Services. This feature is commonly used in enterprise environments to allow multiple users to access the same system for collaboration, training, and other purposes.

Although RDP is a convenient and widely used protocol, it has been the target of security vulnerabilities in the past. To prevent unauthorized access to remote systems, it is important to use secure connections and keep software up to date. RDP supports several security features, including network-level authentication, which requires users to authenticate before establishing a connection, and encryption, which helps to protect data transmitted over the network. Additionally, best practices for securing RDP connections include disabling unused features, configuring firewall rules, and using virtual private network (VPN) connections for remote access.

vpn explanation

  A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a technology that allows users to securely connect to the Internet over an untrusted network, such as a public Wi-Fi network. When a user connects to a VPN, the VPN server creates a secure, encrypted tunnel between the user's device and the VPN server. All data transmitted between the user's device and the VPN server is encrypted and protected from unauthorized access or interception. This allows users to securely access sensitive information, such as financial transactions or confidential business data, even when using a public Wi-Fi network or other unsecured network. VPNs are also useful for users who want to access content that is restricted by geographic location, such as streaming services or websites that are only available in certain countries. VPNs are typically used by individuals, businesses, and government organizations to protect their online privacy and security. There are many different types of VPNs, including remote-acces...

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 ...

vpc explanation

  A VPC, or Virtual Private Cloud, is a virtual network infrastructure provided by cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or Microsoft Azure. A VPC allows users to securely and privately connect their cloud resources, such as virtual machines, databases, and applications, to the Internet. This provides the same level of security and privacy as a traditional on-premises network, but with the scalability and flexibility of the cloud. A VPC is essentially a virtual network environment within the cloud provider's network, which is isolated from other virtual network environments. This provides users with complete control over their network configuration, including the ability to define custom IP address ranges, subnets, and network access control lists (ACLs). VPCs also allow users to securely connect their cloud resources to other cloud services, such as storage services or databases, and to other resources in their own on-premises netw...
