v3n0m-Scanner/Linux-v3n0m · GitHub - Vimperator TCP Operational Overview and the TCP Finite State Machine (FSM) TCP Operational Overview and the TCP Finite State Machine (FSM)(Page 2 of 3) The Simplified TCP Finite State Machine In the case of TCP, the finite state machine can be considered to describe the “life stages” of a connection. Each connection between one TCP device and another begins in a null state where there is no connection, and then proceeds through a series of states until a connection is established. The full description of the states, events and transitions in a TCP connection is lengthy and complicated—not surprising, since that would cover much of the entire TCP standard. Table 151 briefly describes each of the TCP states in a TCP connection, and also describes the main events that occur in each state, and what actions and transitions occur as a result. SYN: A synchronize message, used to initiate and establish a connection. Again, I have not shown every possible transition, just the ones normally followed in the life of a connection.

Secure Your Wireless Router In The Short Term By Assigning It An Aggressive Name As more devices ship with wireless networking capabilities, it becomes increasingly important to have routers that are capable of handling connections from hardware such as tablets, laptops and mobile phones. The problem is that many routers still in use are perfectly good pieces of hardware, except for one drawback – they don’t support Wireless-N or offer advanced encryption such as WPA. With the threat of drive-by Wi-Fi theft and the risk of secure data being transferred over a non-secure connection, wireless routers without the most current security options can be temporarily shored up with just a bit of imagination. Secure Your Wireless Router with Its Name According to figures published in October 2011, Windows XP still has a respectable market share as the operating system on around 33% of all computers connected to the web. In order for users to connect to a wireless network, a wireless router typically broadcasts an SSID, or Service Set Identifier. Conclusion

TCP/IP in fact consists of dozens of different protocols, but only a few are the “main” protocols that define the core operation of the suite. Of these key protocols, two are usually considered the most important. The Internet Protocol (IP) is the primary OSI network layer (layer three) protocol that provides addressing, datagram routing and other functions in an internetwork. Due to the importance of these two protocols, their abbreviations have come to represent the entire suite: “TCP/IP”. TCP/IP uses its own four-layer architecture that corresponds roughly to the OSI Reference Model and provides a framework for the various protocols that comprise the suite. As I said earlier, the Internet is a primary reason why TCP/IP is what it is today. In 1973, development of a full-fledged system of internetworking protocols for the ARPAnet began.
