🔴 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

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

⚠️ 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

💡 Strong Red Teamers combine Linux, networking, scripting, exploitation & OPSEC skills together

⚠️ Offensive security without Linux knowledge is extremely limiting
🔴 The Ultimate API Guide

🔥 Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
✴️ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles

Modern applications run on APIs… attackers know that ⚠️

⚡️ API Essentials
🌐 API Types → REST, SOAP, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket
📡 HTTP Methods → GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH
🔐 Authentication → Tokens, Bearer Auth, API Keys
📊 Status Codes → 200, 401, 403, 404, 500
⚙️ API Design → Filters, Pagination, Versioning

💡 APIs power web apps, mobile apps, cloud platforms & microservices — understanding them is critical for developers and pentesters alike

⚠️ Broken APIs = authentication bypass, data leaks & account takeover risks
