🔴 Networking Protocols Explained
🔥 Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
✴️ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles
Every cyber attack & defense starts with networking ⚠️
⚡️ Core Protocols
🌐 HTTP / HTTPS → Web communication
📂 FTP → File transfer between systems
📡 TCP → Reliable packet delivery
🛰 IP → Addressing & routing data
⚡️ UDP → Fast, connectionless communication
📧 SMTP → Email transmission
🔐 SSH → Secure remote access
💡 Understanding protocols is essential for packet analysis, pentesting, threat hunting & network defense
⚠️ Misconfigured or insecure protocols = attack surface for attackers

🔴 File Upload Extension Filter Bypass Cheat Sheet
🔥 Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
✴️ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles
File upload filters fail more often than developers think ⚠️
⚡️ Bypass Highlights
🔍 Double extensions (shell.php.png)
🧪 Null byte injection (%00)
🕵️ Unicode & encoded character tricks
📂 Special chars, tabs & newline bypasses
🚀 Abuse parser inconsistencies for code execution
💡 Many applications validate only the file extension — attackers abuse encoding & parsing edge cases to bypass restrictions
⚠️ Weak upload validation = Remote Code Execution (RCE) risk
🛡 Defenders should validate:
• MIME type
• Magic bytes
• File content
• Server-side execution rules
