Learning Log 6

Learning how to use pfSense gave me an idea to use it for my home internet, especially, when I'd have my future kids. Blocking websites that are not intended for minors is a good way to hide content that are only for adults. For me, it is another way to avoid phishing websites and etc. In our lecture, the topic physical security was being taught. It actually gave me a new perspective on how buildings handle their security. Like what kind of door should be used for fire exits which should be made of light timber and knowing that there are different kinds of water sprinklers that best fit a situation. There are numerous ways on how to secure a building but standards should be followed at least. No steel doors for fire exits, please. In another lecture, it was like a review of our previous subject. We should take note of the broadcast domain and the collision domain of each network device (Hub, switch, and router). Setting up an environment for example, a company, needs firewalls

Learning Log 5

We were given an exercise about the RSA Algorithm and the Diffie Hellman Algorithm. In the RSA Algorithm, I found a way to find the value of the  d  variable that is easier than guessing. It is by using the Extended Euclidean algorithm. In Diffie Hellman, I believe I haven't found an easier way to find the values of the variables. All in all, I learned how to understand and use these algorithms. I am excited to learn more algorithms for security.
