Season Of KDE – Project Update 1

It’s been a long time since I have published my first blog on SoK. To make up for that, I plan on writing successive blog posts to catch you all up with the progress of my project, foKus. foKus is a simple task management app for plasma mobile.  I have written why we need a dedicated task management app instead

The new beginnings- Season Of KDE

Hello KDE community! I am Sai Moukthik Konduru, an undergrad from India. This pandemic gave me a chance to explore my interest in programming, and it has been a roller-coaster ride, to say the least. Recently I got to know about the concept of Open-source projects. The idea of collaborating and learning from the best

The Data-Link layer Continued..

From the previous post, we got a basic idea about the data-link layer. In this post, let’s learn a few more things about the data-link layer and the protocol of this layer. Data Packet is the single set of binary data that is sent across a network link. These have different forms at different layers of

Simple Dice Rolling Simulator using Python

In this post, we will write a simple python program to simulate rolling a die. Python is the best when it comes to writing short and functional code. We can write this text-based simulator in under 20 lines. Before diving in, here are the prerequisites to understand this code. Familiarity with the syntax of python

The Data-Link Layer

In this post, we will learn the role of the data-link layer in the TCP/IP five-layer model and learn about the protocol which is involved in it. The data-link layer is the second layer in the TCP/IP five-layer model. This layer is responsible for the transfer of data from one node to another, in a

The Physical Layer

In this short post, we will explore the most basic layer of the TCP/IP five-layer model, the physical layer. The physical layer is of utmost importance, as it builds the foundation of the entire computer network. Without the physical layer, it is impossible to build a network.  Let’s first try to define the physical layer.

Basic Network Devices

Network devices are electronic devices that are essential for the communication of devices on a computer network. These devices mediate the flow of information between the devices on a computer network. Before learning more about various network devices, let us learn about cables. Cables:  Cables are the network hardware, which connects all these network devices.

Different layers of a Computer Network

After reading this post, you will have a good idea about the different layers of a Computer Network. As said in the previous post, there are many models used to explain a computer network, but we will use the TCP/IP five-layer model to do the same, as it is easier to understand. Here are the

Introduction to Computer Networking

This is the first post in the series Computer Networking. By the end of this series, you will have a much better understanding of how computers communicate with each other even though they are countries apart. In this post, I will give a brief introduction to computer networking and introduce you to some terms which

Solving our first Crackme!

NOTE: Before reading this I recommend you to read my previous post to get a better understanding of this post. All the posts are arranged in reverse-chronological order. Scroll down to find the previous posts. Thank you! To solve any crackme, we must understand the behavior of the crackme. The first step of this analysis
