it's another video about the ultimate
0:01
speedrun of networking protocol in this
0:03
video I'm going to break down every
0:05
protocol an ethical hacker needs to know
0:07
as quickly and simply as possible we'll
0:09
explore everything from basic web
0:11
protocols to advanced industrial ones
0:13
all while throwing in examples metaphors
0:15
and a bit of humor to make it stick for
0:16
you if you want to sell your service to
0:18
companies and help them protect their
0:20
software and websites make sure to check
0:21
out rolodell.com if you haven't already
0:23
after watching this video link is in the
0:25
comments are you ready let's dive in
0:27
we'll begin with the basics http and
0:31
HTTPS picture HTTP as a delivery service
0:34
for a website but one that's sending
0:36
your information on postcards everyone
0:38
can read what's on them but then HTTPS
0:40
shows up putting those postcards in an
0:42
envelope blocking it with encryption so
0:44
no one else can peek inside this makes
0:45
HTTPS essential for any site that
0:48
handles sensitive information like
0:49
banking or shopping then there's TCP and
0:51
IP the foundation of everything we do
0:53
online think of TCP as a careful
0:55
delivery driver ensuring every data
0:57
packet arrives safely while IP is the
0:59
GPS that tells TCP exactly where to go
1:02
without these two working together the
1:03
internet would be in absolute chaos next
1:05
up is UDP if TCP is a careful delivery
1:08
truck UDP is like a bicycle messenger
1:10
zooming through traffic it's faster
1:12
because it doesn't wait around to check
1:13
if every packet made it that's why it's
1:15
used for live streams and online gaming
1:17
where speed is more important than
1:18
perfection moving on to DNS every domain
1:21
owner knows this this is the domain name
1:23
system it's like the internet's phone
1:25
book when you type in a web address dns
1:27
look up the IP address and directs you
1:29
to the right place but if a hacker
1:30
messes with it they can redirect you to
1:32
a fake site instead which is known as
1:34
DNS spoofing now let's talk about FTP
1:37
and SFTP the protocols for transferring
1:40
files think of FTP as sending your
1:42
documents in a plane envelope completely
1:44
unsecured but SFTP is like sending them
1:47
in an armored truck the difference
1:48
encryption hackers love to target FTP
1:51
because it's wide open for snooping ssh
1:54
is next the protocol for secure remote
1:56
login imagine it as a secret tunnel
1:58
connecting you to a remote server no one
2:00
else can see what's happening inside
2:02
unless they manage to crack your
2:03
password it's a favorite among CIS
2:05
admins and hackers alike then there are
2:07
the email protocols SMTP POP3 and IMAP
2:12
smtp sends your emails out while POP3
2:15
and IMAP bring your emails in they're
2:17
like the behind-the-scenes postal
2:19
workers of the digital world but if
2:20
they're not configured properly hackers
2:22
can use them to hijack email accounts or
2:24
launch fishing attacks next we have SNP
2:27
the protocol that's always whispering
2:29
about what's going on in your network
2:30
it's like a nosy neighbor telling you
2:32
who's home who's not and which
2:34
appliances are acting up but leave it
2:35
unsecured and anyone can listen in or
2:37
worse start making changes to your
2:39
network icmp is up next if you've ever
2:41
used the ping command you've used ICMP
2:43
it's like sending a quick are you there
2:45
to another computer super handy for
2:46
diagnostics but hackers can also use it
2:48
to map out networks and then we have ARP
2:51
arp is like a translator that converts
2:53
IP addresses into physical MAC addresses
2:56
imagine you're in a big office and you
2:57
need to find Bob's desk arp tells you
2:59
where he's sitting but ARP spoofing can
3:01
trick you into thinking Bob's desk is
3:03
somewhere it's not leading your data to
3:05
a hacker instead dhcp is up next this
3:08
one hands out IP addresses to devices on
3:10
your network like a party host assigning
3:12
seats at a dinner table but if a hacker
3:13
slips in and becomes the host they can
3:15
give you a seat that sends your data
3:17
straight into their trap we can't forget
3:18
about SSLTS the protocols that secure
3:21
your web traffic they're like the locks
3:23
on your internet communications imagine
3:25
whispering secrets in a crowded room if
3:27
someone doesn't have the right key they
3:28
can't ease drop but an attack called SSL
3:30
stripping can downgrade that lock making
3:32
it easier to crack next we have LDAP
3:35
which is like your network's address
3:36
book it stores all the details about
3:38
users systems and permissions if someone
3:40
unauthorized flips through this book
3:42
they can see exactly where your weak
3:43
spots are and then there's Tnet tnet is
3:46
the insecure granddaddy of remote login
3:48
protocols imagine shouting your login
3:50
credentials in a crowded room yeah not a
3:52
good idea that's why most people use SSH
3:55
instead rdp is next the protocol for
3:57
controlling another computer remotely
3:59
it's like having the puppet strings to a
4:01
system across the country it's great for
4:03
IT support but if a hacker gets hold of
4:04
it they can run your system like a
4:06
puppet master now let's talk about
4:09
SMBCS this protocol is like the shared
4:12
office supply closet used for sharing
4:14
files and printers on a network but if
4:15
it's left unlocked anyone can wander in
4:17
and help themselves to sensitive data
4:19
making it a target for attackers ntp or
4:22
network time protocol is a digital
4:23
timekeeper making sure all the clocks in
4:25
your network are synchronized but if a
4:27
hacker manipulates it they can throw off
4:29
your entire network's timing causing
4:30
chaos in logs and communications sip is
4:33
up next the protocol behind your VIP
4:35
calls it's like a switchboard operator
4:37
setting up your calls if it's not
4:38
secured an attacker could listen in or
4:40
even impersonate you on a call for OOTH
4:42
and open ID imagine them as bouncers
4:44
outside a club checking IDs to see if
4:46
you're allowed in they don't ask for
4:48
your whole life story just a quick check
4:50
but if someone manages to forge that ID
4:52
they can walk right in keraros is a
4:54
three-headed guard dog for network
4:56
authentication it uses tickets to prove
4:58
you are who you say you are it's a
5:00
strong defender unless someone forges a
5:02
ticket and sneaks past let's move on to
5:04
MQTT the protocol that's like a group
5:06
chat for IoT devices it's lightweight
5:08
and quick but not always secure if a
5:10
hacker joins the chat they can start
5:12
sending commands to your devices modbus
5:14
is the protocol that runs industrial
5:16
devices think factory machines and power
5:18
plants but it's old and lacks modern
5:20
security making it like a factory with
5:22
no locks on the doors now on to BGP it's
5:26
the internet's map maker managing how
5:28
data packets are routed between large
5:30
networks if someone messes with BGP they
5:33
can cause massive outages or redirect
5:35
traffic for spying sctp is next a
5:37
protocol designed for telecom networks
5:39
it's like having multiple lanes on a
5:41
highway allowing for multiple messages
5:43
to be sent over the same channel without
5:45
traffic jams and finally we have gray an
5:48
encapsulation protocol that wraps
5:50
packets inside a tunnel it's like
5:52
sending a letter within a letter making
5:53
it useful for secure VPN connections
5:56
let's dive into IPS the bodyguard of IP
5:59
packets think of IPSec as a security
6:01
guard that not only checks IDs but also
6:03
escorts your data packets safely across
6:05
the network it's like sending your
6:07
valuables in a locked briefcase with a
6:09
security detail ensuring confidentiality
6:11
integrity and authentication hackers
6:13
trying to intercept these packets would
6:15
have a tough time cracking that
6:16
briefcase next on the list is PPTP and
6:20
L2TPV3 the early pioneers of VPN
6:22
protocols are like an old tunnel through
6:24
a mountain fast but riddled with
6:26
security holes
6:28
l2tpv3 often paired with IPSC is the
6:32
upgraded tunnel with reinforced walls
6:34
providing a safer passage for your data
6:36
but remember even the best tunnels need
6:37
maintenance to stay secure then we have
6:39
OPF the protocol that helps routers find
6:42
the best path like a seasoned navigator
6:44
plotting the quickest route on a map
6:45
it's essential for large networks to
6:47
prevent data from taking the scenic
6:49
route and slowing things down if
6:50
misconfigured however data might end up
6:52
on a detour through hacker land moving
6:54
on to RIP not the rest in peace kind but
6:56
the routing information protocol it's
6:58
like the veteran mailman who always
7:00
takes the same route even if it's not
7:01
the most efficient rip is simple and
7:03
easy to set up but doesn't scale well
7:05
for larger networks making it less
7:07
popular these days is Cisco's
7:09
proprietary routing protocol acting like
7:10
a secret handshake among Cisco devices
7:13
it's smarter than RIP and learns the
7:14
best paths over time but if you're not
7:16
using Cisco Gear you might feel left out
7:18
of the club mls is up next which stands
7:20
for multi-protocol label switching think
7:22
of it as the express lane on a highway
7:24
for your data packets it labels and
7:26
directs traffic efficiently reducing
7:28
congestion hackers might try to sneak
7:30
into this express lane to intercept high
7:32
priority data then there's PPTP the
7:34
point-to-point protocol it's like a
7:36
private conversation between two friends
7:38
on a tin can telephone line it's used
7:40
for direct connections over serial links
7:42
but doesn't offer much in terms of
7:43
security on its own po combines PPTP
7:45
with Ethernet allowing that tin can
7:47
conversation to happen over a larger
7:49
network commonly used by ISPs for
7:51
customer internet connections but if not
7:53
secured it can be tapped into by
7:54
eavesdroppers isis or intermediate
7:56
system to intermediate system is another
7:58
routing protocol like OPF cousin it's
8:00
the quiet efficient type often used by
8:03
large service providers to keep data
8:04
flowing smoothly misconfigurations here
8:06
can lead to data getting lost in transit
8:09
hsrp or hot standby router protocol is
8:11
like having a backup singer ready to
8:13
take over if the lead singer loses their
8:15
voice it provides network redundancy by
8:17
having a standby router ready to step in
8:19
minimizing downtime but if a hacker
8:21
spoofs HSRP messages they can redirect
8:23
traffic their way vrp is similar to HSRP
8:26
but is an open standard it's the
8:27
universal understudy in our network
8:29
theater ready to fill in when needed
8:30
again security is key to prevent
8:32
unauthorized stand-ins from taking over
8:34
the show lldp or link layer discovery
8:36
protocol is like name tags at a
8:38
networking event allowing devices to
8:40
announce themselves and learn about
8:41
their neighbors while useful for network
8:43
mapping if left unsecured it provides
8:45
hackers with a directory of potential
8:47
targets cdp or CISCO discovery protocol
8:51
is LDP's Cisco specific counterpart it's
8:54
like a VIP guest list at an exclusive
8:56
party while great for network management
8:58
it can spill too many beans if a hacker
9:00
gets access next we have Net Bios an
9:02
older protocol used for network
9:04
communication on local networks think of
9:06
it as the town crier shouting out
9:08
messages to find other devices it's
9:10
noisy and can reveal too much
9:11
information if not properly managed dns
9:13
or multiccast DNS is like neighborhood
9:16
gossip sharing information about who's
9:18
who without needing a central directory
9:20
it's used by devices like printers and
9:22
smart home gadgets to find each other
9:24
but an attacker can exploit it to
9:25
intercept or spoof services tftp or
9:28
trivial file transfer protocol is FTP's
9:31
lightweight sibling it's like leaving a
9:33
box of documents on your porch for
9:34
someone to pick up no security no
9:36
authentication convenient but risky if
9:38
sensitive information is involved tsp or
9:41
real-time streaming protocol is the
9:43
director behind live video streams
9:45
telling the cameras when to start and
9:46
stop it's essential for things like
9:48
security cameras and live broadcasts but
9:50
if hijacked an attacker could tap into
9:51
your video feeds rtp the real-time
9:54
transport protocol carries the actual
9:56
video and audio data like the actors on
9:58
stage srtp adds security to the mix
10:00
putting bodyguards around those actors
10:02
to prevent unauthorized access to your
10:04
streams gopher is a blast from the past
10:06
a protocol that predates HTTP for
10:09
distributing documents it's like an old
10:11
library card catalog system while mostly
10:13
obsolete some niche corners of the
10:15
internet still use it and understanding
10:17
it can help in certain retro computing
10:18
contexts http2 is the modern upgrade to
10:22
HTTP like swapping out your old bicycle
10:24
for a sleek new motorcycle it's faster
10:26
and more efficient but with new features
10:28
come new security considerations that
10:30
need to be addressed nfs or network file
10:32
system is like a shared drive where
10:34
everyone can access files as if they
10:36
were on their own computer great for
10:37
collaboration but can be a treasure
10:39
trove for hackers if permissions aren't
10:41
tight afp or Apple filing protocol is
10:43
NFS cousin in the Apple world it's the
10:45
protocol that lets Mac users share files
10:48
seamlessly however if not secured it
10:50
opens up the same risks as any file
10:51
sharing protocol iscsi allows you to
10:54
treat remote storage as if it's local
10:56
like having a magic bag that connects
10:57
directly to a warehouse miles away it's
11:00
fantastic for storage area networks but
11:02
intercepting this connection could give
11:03
attackers access to your data warehouse
11:06
fiber channel is like the bullet train
11:07
of storage networks fast and efficient
11:10
it's used in data centers for high-speed
11:12
data transfer but physical access to the
11:14
network can spell disaster if not
11:16
properly secured
11:19
feel over Ethernet combines the speed of
11:22
fiber channel with the flexibility of
11:23
Ethernet it's like adding wings to your
11:25
car it can fly over traffic but requires
11:27
careful handling to avoid crashes ntp
11:30
the network news transfer protocol is
11:32
used for Usenet articles think of it as
11:34
the old school internet forum system
11:36
while not as prevalent today it's still
11:38
around and can be a source of
11:39
information leakage if not managed
11:41
z-wave and Ziggby are protocols used in
11:44
home automation think smart lights and
11:45
thermostats they're like the secret
11:47
language your smart devices use to talk
11:49
to each other if a hacker learns that
11:51
language they can start controlling your
11:53
smart home bluetooth is the ubiquitous
11:55
protocol for short-range wireless
11:57
communication it's like a handshake
11:59
between devices to share data quickly
12:01
but leaving Bluetooth on and
12:02
discoverable is like wearing a sign that
12:04
says hackme NFC or near field
12:07
communication is what powers contactless
12:09
payments it's like a quick fist bump to
12:11
transfer small amounts of data secure
12:13
when used properly but attackers with
12:14
specialized equipment can attempt to
12:16
intercept or mimic signals the MQP or
12:19
advanced message queuing protocol is
12:21
used in enterprise messaging systems
12:22
it's like a postal service for business
12:24
applications ensuring messages are
12:26
delivered reliably compromise here can
12:28
disrupt business processes or expose
12:30
sensitive data the constrained
12:32
application protocol is designed for
12:34
simple electronic devices it's like a
12:36
minimalistic language for IoT gadgets to
12:38
communicate security is often minimal
12:40
making it a ripe target for hackers to
12:42
exploit spdi was a precursor to HTTP2
12:45
developed by Google to speed up web
12:47
traffic it's like putting your data on a
12:48
high-speed train though mostly replaced
12:50
now understanding it helps in grasping
12:52
how modern web protocols evolve quick
12:55
standing for quick UDP internet
12:56
connections is another Google innovation
12:58
aiming to make internet connections
13:00
faster and more secure it's like
13:01
combining the speed of UDP with the
13:03
reliability of TCP giving you the best
13:05
of both worlds sme and PPTP are
13:08
protocols for encrypting emails think of
13:10
them as sealing your letters with a wax
13:12
stamp that only the intended recipient
13:14
can break without them your emails are
13:15
like postcards anyone can read dnp3 is
13:18
used in industrial control systems
13:20
particularly in utilities like water and
13:22
electricity it's like the conductor of
13:24
an orchestra ensuring all components
13:26
work in harmony a breach here could lead
13:28
to critical infrastructure failures iec
13:31
60,75104 is another industrial protocol
13:34
mainly used in electrical engineering
13:36
it's like the blueprint that ensures
13:37
engineers speak the same technical
13:39
language security weaknesses can be
13:41
catastrophic affecting power grids
13:42
backnet is used in building automation
13:44
controlling HVAC lighting and security
13:46
systems it's like the building's central
13:48
nervous system hacking into Backnet
13:50
could give someone control over physical
13:52
aspects of a building wi-fi protocols
13:54
like
13:54
802.11 AC and
13:57
802.11X govern how your wireless devices
13:59
communicate they're the invisible
14:01
airwaves connecting your devices to the
14:03
internet weak Wi-Fi security is like
14:05
leaving your front door open with a
14:06
welcome mat for hackers ethernet
14:08
protocols under the 802.3 standards
14:12
define how wired networks function
14:14
they're like the roads your data cars
14:15
drive on proper segmentation and
14:17
security measures are essential to
14:19
prevent data collisions and unauthorized
14:21
access sdp or spanning tree protocol
14:23
prevents loops in network topologies
14:25
imagine a road system without traffic
14:27
lights stp is what keeps data from
14:30
circling endlessly causing traffic jams
14:32
if manipulated it can bring network
14:33
traffic to a standstill rstp and MSTP
14:37
are improvements over STP offering
14:39
faster convergence and multiple spanning
14:41
trees they're like upgrading your
14:42
traffic system with smart lights and
14:44
roundabouts to keep things flowing
14:45
smoothly vpp or VL trunking protocol
14:49
manages VL configurations across
14:52
switches it's like a city planner
14:54
coordinating different neighborhoods but
14:55
if someone gains access they can
14:57
reconfigure your network's layout to
14:59
their advantage lacp or link aggregation
15:01
control protocol bundles multiple
15:03
network connections into a single
15:05
logical link for increased bandwidth
15:07
it's like combining multiple lanes into
15:08
a superighway misconfigurations can lead
15:11
to traffic being misouted or dropped
15:13
igmp or internet group management
15:15
protocol manages multiccast group
15:17
memberships it's like sending out party
15:19
invites to multiple guests an attacker
15:21
can exploit IGMP to flood the network
15:23
with unwanted traffic pim or protocol
15:25
independent multiccast works with IGMP
15:28
to route multiccast traffic efficiently
15:30
it's like planning the best routes for
15:31
delivering those party invites if
15:33
compromised it can disrupt multiccast
15:35
communications bfd or birectional
15:38
forwarding detection quickly detects
15:40
link failures it's like having sensors
15:41
on a bridge that alert you the moment
15:43
there's a structural issue hackers can
15:45
exploit BFD to create false alarms or
15:47
hide real issues lisp or locator ID
15:50
separation protocol separates the
15:52
identity of a network device from its
15:53
location it's like using a stage name
15:55
instead of your real name this adds
15:57
flexibility but can complicate security
15:59
if not properly managed vexlan NVG and
16:01
Geneive are protocols used for network
16:03
virtualization creating virtual networks
16:05
over physical ones it's like building a
16:07
virtual city on top of a real one while
16:09
powerful they add layers of complexity
16:11
that can be exploited if not secured
16:13
openflow is a protocol that enables
16:15
softwaredefined networking it's like
16:17
giving network administrators a remote
16:19
control to manage network devices
16:21
centrally but if someone else gets that
16:22
remote they can change your network
16:24
configuration at will pcp or path
16:26
computation element communication
16:28
protocol helps compute efficient network
16:30
paths it's like using a GPS to find the
16:32
best route an attacker could manipulate
16:34
PCP to reroute traffic through malicious
16:37
nodes rsvp or resource reservation
16:40
protocol reserves resources across a
16:42
network it's like booking seats in
16:43
advance for a show unauthorized
16:45
reservations can lead to denial of
16:47
service for legitimate users sshfs
16:50
allows you to mount remote file systems
16:52
over SSH it's like extending your local
16:54
hard drive across the internet securely
16:56
if SSH is compromised though so is your
16:59
remote file system ncp or NE TW A core
17:04
protocol was used in older novel
17:06
networks it's like the ancient script of
17:08
networking languages mostly obsolete but
17:10
occasionally encountered in legacy
17:12
systems lastly let's touch on SDP or
17:14
session description protocol which
17:16
describes multimedia communication
17:18
sessions for the purposes of session
17:20
announcement and invitation think of it
17:21
as the party planner sending out
17:23
detailed invites for a multimedia
17:25
conference if intercepted or altered
17:27
attendees might end up at the wrong
17:28
party or none at all and there you have
17:30
it the whirlwind tour of 100 networking
17:32
protocols every ethical hacker should
17:34
know from the foundational protocols
17:36
that make the internet possible to the
17:38
specialized ones that control industrial
17:40
systems each plays a crucial role in the
17:43
digital landscape remember understanding
17:45
these protocols isn't just about
17:46
memorizing acronyms it's about grasping
17:49
how data moves where vulnerabilities lie
17:51
and how to protect against potential
17:53
threats as ethical hackers it's our job
17:55
to stay one step ahead turning knowledge
17:58
into defense thanks for joining me on
