Hacker TV – How I Would Learn Cyber Security If I Could Start Over
How I Would Learn Cyber Security If I Could Start Over Want to learn all about cyber-security and become an ethical hacker? His thoughts on the basics and fundamentals is so right on. Networking, User or Desktop support, Server maintenance, whatever. I firmly believe that the best security people started in IT originally. Experience on Read More …
TTL – Time to Live
Time to Live (TTL), often referred to as hop limit, is a crucial mechanism used in computer networking to manage the lifespan of data packets as they traverse through a network. The primary purpose of TTL is to prevent data packets from circulating indefinitely, which can occur due to routing errors or network loops. By Read More …
AGI – Artificial General Intelligence
Imagine the smartest person you know – someone who can learn anything, understand complex ideas across different subjects, solve novel problems they’ve never encountered before, and even exhibit creativity and common sense. Now, picture that level of intelligence not in a human, but in a machine. That, in essence, is the concept of Artificial General Read More …
ICMP – Internet Control Message Protocol
The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is a fundamental protocol used in the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. It is primarily designed for network devices to communicate error messages and operational information regarding the status of the network. While ICMP is not used for transmitting data like TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) or UDP (User Datagram Protocol), Read More …
Decision Trees in Artificial Intelligence
Decision trees are a popular and intuitive method used in artificial intelligence (AI) for classification and regression tasks. They represent a model in the form of a tree-like structure, where each internal node corresponds to a decision based on an input feature, each branch represents the outcome of that decision, and each leaf node signifies Read More …
SVM – Support Vector Machines
Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are a powerful supervised learning algorithm used in artificial intelligence (AI) for classification and regression tasks. Developed in the 1990s by Vladimir Vapnik and his colleagues, SVMs are particularly effective in high-dimensional spaces and are known for their robustness in handling both linear and non-linear data. How SVMs Work The primary Read More …
Neural Networks: The Foundation of Deep Learning
The quest to replicate the remarkable learning capabilities of the human brain has long been a central theme in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Neural networks, inspired by the structure and function of biological nervous systems, represent a significant step towards achieving this goal. Their evolution, culminating in the powerful techniques of deep learning, Read More …
GPU – Graphics Processing Units
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have become a cornerstone of modern computing, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Originally designed to accelerate the rendering of images and graphics in video games and applications, GPUs have evolved into powerful parallel processors capable of handling the massive computational demands of AI workloads. This article explores the Read More …
What is the Internet of Things – IoT
The Internet of Things, commonly known as IoT, refers to a network of physical objects or “things” that are connected to the internet and can communicate with each other. These objects can range from everyday household items to sophisticated industrial machines. The key idea behind IoT is that these devices can collect and share data, Read More …
