Reflection:

For the ping and traceroute commands, I chose the URLs Google.com, Amazon.co.jp (Japan), and Realestate.com.au (Australia). When comparing the ping and traceroute results from the websites I decided on, I noticed that the ping was much faster reaching the specified server. It showed how long it would take to send and receive the data quickly. The traceroute hops around to different servers looking for the best route to reach it efficiently. Packets travel through the network by communicating via the internet and sending information such as an address for a destination computer, the data size, and the data itself. A router is a specialized computer in a network that receives a packet from a computer or router. It sends that packet to another computer or router on a packet's destination Vahid, F., & Lysecky, S. (2017). My conclusion about the relationship between the road trip and geographical location is that pinging is an excellent way to ensure that packets are not dropping. Traceroute is a good tool to track the packet's path on an IP network from the source's destination. It can also help you troubleshoot any issues you're having with the connection because some sites will indicate the geographic location of the IP address computer.

What's Happening in Technology

Programming Languages

  I have always loved technology as far as I can remember. As a kid, I was the one that knew how to hook up all the electronics and get them all functioning properly. My family has always depended on me to fix or show them how to use many forms of technology, and I enjoyed doing it. Now I'm looking to take this further and learn more about things I don't understand, for example, using the program Scratch. This paper will discuss my experience, difficulties, and insights into Scratch programs. I will also answer the assignment questions comparing Scratch textbook language by explaining scenarios and program languages. My experience using Scratch was fun because I sat there and played with the motions and sounds with controls while my five-year-old son watched. We were making my character move around and do funny things. It was fun for both of us. It took me a while to figure out what I was doing, but once I learned more by watching the introductory videos, we created a guy...

Network Security

Network Security             Security threats and vulnerabilities to the direct and instant technological advancement combined with the internet's ideas in our everyday, natural life, we are now highly dependent on technology. The purpose may vary to all characteristics of our world. Cyber thieves and criminals also move faster than most people on the internet by ensuring that information on computer methods is a primary target. Assets can be split up into tangible benefits and uncertain technical skills. "The cyber threat involves an outside element. But, computer  vulnerabilities  on the network asset. Vulnerabilities in computer security are not usually the result of an intentional attack. Though cybercriminals usually leverage these flaws in their attacks. However, you can reduce the risk of a data breach. That is by knowing the most common network vulnerabilities. And then find ways to address them. (Hudson, 2020)."...

Final Blog Post Network Security

Image
  Final Blog Post Network Security             I chose the topic of network security based on the path I would love to pursue because of the curiosity and interest I have developed since I retired from the Marines. Reading through the course textbook chapters: Fundamentals of Information Technology & Literacy home helped me understand rules/guidelines and apply better network security concepts from the simple things I forgot and overlooked. “The user can customize these rules. In addition, some network routers have hardware-based firewalls that block connections that do not initiate within the network (Vahid, F., 2019).” Today, network security is one of the essential topics for every business organization and home PC. Not having the proper protection software, i.e., antivirus, phishing, and spam blockers, can lead to devastation with no recovery. Technology must continuously evolve to keep up with the changing and new de...
