"🔍 Ever wondered how the internet organizes domain names? It all starts with the Domain Name System (DNS) and Top-Level Domains (TLDs)! 🌐 From familiar TLDs like .com and .org to industry-specific ones, TLDs play a crucial role in how we navigate the web. 💻 Understanding DNS is key to ensuring efficient and secure network operations. #Networking #DNS #TLD #Internet #CyberSecurity #NetworkEngineer #TechInsights"

🚀 Forward Proxy vs Reverse Proxy🌐🔒 ✅ Forward Proxy: Think of it as a gateway for the client! It helps users access resources securely, bypass restrictions, or maintain anonymity while interacting with the internet. Perfect for safeguarding individual privacy or controlling outbound traffic. 🌍💻 ✅ Reverse Proxy: Now, flip the script! A reverse proxy works on behalf of the server, protecting and optimizing access to resources. It manages traffic, balances loads, and enhances security for web servers. 🚧🔐 #ForwardProxy #ReverseProxy #Networking #Cybersecurity #TechTips #LinkedInLearning #ITSolutions #Proxies

Over a million domains are susceptible to takeover by malicious actors by means of what has been called a Sitting Ducks attack. The powerful attack vector, which exploits weaknesses in the domain name system (DNS), is being exploited by over a dozen Russian-nexus cybercriminal actors to stealthily hijack domains, a joint analysis published by Infoblox and Eclypsium has revealed. "In a Sitting Ducks attack, the actor hijacks a currently registered domain at an authoritative DNS service or web hosting provider without accessing the true owner's account at either the DNS provider or registrar," the researchers said.

77/100 days challenge Why Tor Browser ? Tor, short for “The Onion Router”, is free and open-source software for enabling anonymous communication. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows you to improve your privacy and security on the Internet. Tor works by encrypting your traffic multiple times and routing it through a network of volunteer servers called relays. Each relay in the circuit decrypts one layer of encryption and forwards the traffic to the next relay in the circuit. The final relay decrypts the traffic and sends it to its destination. The dark web is usually characterized by “.onion top-level domain (TLD)”. #cybersecurity #TorBrowser #security #privacy

A previously patched flaw in Windows BitLocker disk encryption feature is susceptible to attacks allowing hackers to decrypt information, new research has found. Security researcher Thomas Lambertz extracted data from the system memory, including the master key. Read about it here: https://lnkd.in/dCJbbHrd #Cybersecurity #ISMGNews

𝗗𝗡𝗦: Domain Name System, that translates domain names to their respective IP addresses. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? 1. When you enter domain name in your browser, the browser first checks if the IP address is stored in it's cache. 2. If not, the request is sent to recursive DNS resolver. It checks in the cache for IP address. 3. If still not found, the recursive DNS resolver sends request to root DNS server which points to the TLD nameserver for your domain. 4. The resolver then makes request to that TLD server which responds with the nameserver responsible for that particular domain. 5. Lastly, the resolver contacts the authoritative nameserver for the domain and gets the IP address. #cybersecurity #webapplicationsecurity #dns

Join @F5 and SHI International Corp. virtually on July 9th for Insights into Securing Enterprise Application & APIs. Multi-cloud strategies have expanded the attack surface for today’s security teams. Sean Lord and TJ Vreugdenhil of SHI joined with Peter Scheffler of F5 discuss the challenges of protecting apps, APIs and workloads in todays distributed networks. They’ll provide practical recommendations regarding API protection trends, improving app performance, multi-cloud management and governance. http://ms.spr.ly/6043lHqjF #AppSec #Security #Cybersecurity #F5
