Networking 2 - Network Topologies

Topology is how do we connect devices (arrangement of network) with nodes and connection wire.

Bus Topology - Every device connected with one main line called the bus.

Star Topology - In star there is one central server to which all the devices are directly connected.

Star Topology

Ring Topology - In Ring topology devices are connected in closed loop, one device is connected with another two devices, the Token Ring protocol is used here so the signal flows in only one direction.

Mesh Topology - There are two ways to make mesh topology.

1. Full Mesh - Every device is directly connected to every another device.

2. Partial Mesh - some devices are connected to all the others, and some are connected only to those other devices with which they exchange the most data.

Tree Topology - It uses two or more star networks connected together. The central computers of the star networks are connected to a main bus. Thus, a tree network is a bus network of star networks.

OSSEC - Open source And Free Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS)

As it clarify with name that it is host based intrusion detention system we need to set it up in host/server which we want to monitor. Features File Integrity checking Log Monitoring Rootkit detection Active response Benefits Compliance Requirements - PCI and HIPAA Multi platform Real-time and Configurable Alerts Integration with current infrastructure Centralized management Agent and agentless m onitoring Configuration I did in Ubuntu so here are commands I used sudo apt get update -y sudo apt-get install apache2 -y sudo apt-get install build-essential -y sudo apt get update -y wget https://github.com/ossec/ossec-hids/archive/2.9.2.tar.gz sudo tar -zxvf 2.9.2.tar.gz cd ossec-hids-2.9.2/ sudo ./install.sh sudo /var/ossec/bin/ossec-control start cd /home/ubuntu wget https://github.com/ossec/ossec-wui/archive/master.zip sudo apt-get install unzip -y sudo unzip master.zip mv ossec-wui-master /var/www/html/ossec ...

An Nvidia card was not detected in your system fix for Asus Laptops

This article explains how to fix issue like "NVIDIA display settings are not available" OR "An Nvidia card was not detected in your system" in your Asus laptop. The Error looks like And GPU is not present in armory crate as well You will not be able to Nvidia driver in Device Manager as well To fix this go to your armory crate software and check if Eco mode is enabled in GPU mode. Select any other mode i.e., standard If you do not see it in your Home Page, go to device and select GPU power saving option and select any other mode than Eco mode. As you select any other mode your GPU will be back This happens because Eco Mode Completely disables GPU for power saving from armory crate Made a video as well regarding this do check it out.
