Share: DDoS

Distributed denial of service (DDoS), happens when attackers send requests to a target’s IP address, causing the server or network to become overwhelmed, resulting in a denial-of-service to normal traffic.

Symptoms of a DDoS attack:
- a site or service is suddenly very slow or unavailable
- suspicious amounts of traffic from a single IP or IP range
- suspicious amounts of traffic from users who share the same profile, device, etc
- odd traffic patterns, spikes at odd hours, etc

Some methods to reduce or even to prevent DDoS:
- monitor web traffic
- restriction (for example country)
- use cloud
- increase bandwidth
- have plans (for example security plans)

Share: SSL

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It is the standard technology to keep an internet connection secure, safeguarding any sensitive data that is being sent between two systems, can be server to server or a server and a client, preventing criminals from reading and modifying any information transferred. SSL uses encryption algorithms to scramble data in transit, makes sure that any data transferred between users and sites, or between two systems remain impossible to read, preventing hackers from reading it as it is sent over the connection. TLS (Transport Layer Security) is an updated, more secure, version of SSL. Not only is TLS more secure and performant, most modern web browsers no longer support SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0. While SSL is still the dominant term on the Internet, most people really mean TLS when they say SSL. HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) appears in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL certificate. The details of the certificate, including the issuing aut...

Share: Morse Code

Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes or dits and dahs. Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, an inventor of the telegraph. International Morse Code, also known as Continental Morse Code, encodes the 26 English letters A to Z, some non-English letters, the Arabic numerals and a small set of punctuation and procedural signals (prosigns). There is no distinction between upper and lower case letters. Morse code can be transmitted in a number of ways: as electrical pulses along a telegraph wire, as an audio tone, a radio signal with short and long tones, or as a mechanical, audible, or visual signal e.g. a flashing light  or even a car horn. Some mine rescues have used pulling on a rope, a short pull for a dot and a long pull for a dash. Morse code is transmitted using just two states - on and off. Historians have called it the first digital code. Morse code may be...

Share: PHP

PHP is a widely-used, open-source scripting language especially suited for web development. Here's a breakdown of key aspects: 1. Core Concepts: Server-Side Scripting: PHP code is executed on the server, generating HTML (or other output) that is then sent to the user's browser. This distinguishes it from client-side languages like JavaScript, which run in the browser. Embedding in HTML: PHP code can be directly embedded within HTML, making it easy to create dynamic web pages. Dynamic Content: PHP allows you to generate content that changes based on user input, database information, or other factors. Database Interaction: PHP readily connects to various databases (like MySQL, PostgreSQL), enabling you to store and retrieve data. 2. Key Features and Characteristics: Open Source: PHP is free to use and distribute. Cross-Platform: It runs on various operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS). Large Community: A vast community provides support, resources, and libraries. Web Framework...
