Ⓜ️ John the Ripper is often used in the enterprise to detect weak passwords that could put network security at risk, as well as other administrative purposes. The software can run a wide variety of password-cracking techniques against the various user accounts on each operating system and can be scripted to run locally or remotely. Ⓜ️

Ⓜ️ Originally developed for Unix-derived systems, John the Ripper is available for most common platforms. The free and open source  (FOSS) version is generally distributed as source code. A commercial version, John the Ripper Pro, is a more user-friendly version distributed as native code for a given system. Ⓜ️

🌀 SMURF ATTACK 🌀 A smurf attack is a type of denial of service attack in which a system is flooded with spoofed ping messages.This creates high computer network traffic on the victim’s network,which often renders it unresponsive. Smurfingtakes certain well-known facts about Internet Protocol and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)into account.ICMP is used by network administrators to exchange information about network state,and can also be used to ping other nodes to determine their operational status.The smurf program sends a spoofed network packet that contains an ICMP ping.The resulting echo responses to the ping message are directed toward the victim’s IP address.Large number of pings and the resulting echoes can make the network unusable for real traffic

What is REST? A Comprehensive Guide for Software Developers

-
Did you know that the architectural style guiding how most modern web APIs work was conceived in a PhD dissertation? This surprising fact sets the stage for our exploration of REST, a fundamental concept in web development that's both elegant and powerful. 1. The Birth of REST REST, or Representational State Transfer, emerged from the mind of Roy Fielding in his 2000 PhD dissertation . It's not just a set of rules, but a philosophical approach to building scalable, efficient web services. 2. Decoding REST At its core, REST is about simplicity and scalability. It's an architectural style that models data as resources, each identified by a unique URL. These resources can be manipulated using a small set of operations, typically corresponding to standard HTTP methods. 3. The Pillars of REST REST isn't just a free-for-all. It's built on several key principles: a) Uniform Interface This principle ensures consistency across your API. It's like having a universal remo...
