Prerequisites

Introduction to Networking
Purpose of Class

This class discusses how networks are physically designed.
Topics Covered

Demarc Points
MDF and IDF
DMZ
Class Notes

Demarc Points are where responsibility for the network transfers from one party to another
You can test at the Demarc to check determine who is responsible for network issues
Property Managers/ Owners many times do not maintain the network components that they are responsible for
MDF and IDF
MDF -- Main Distribution Facility -- is the main hub for all network and telephone connections for a business location
IDF -- Intermediate Distribution Facility -- For large locations IDF's are used to minimize the length of network runs
DMZ
DMZ -- DeMilitarized Zones -- are used to provide areas of the network that are less secure then others

So how does one set up a honeypot on a network?

[elithecomputerguy]

@anzwertree You just setup a system and intentionally leave it vulnerable to attack... You then analyze to log files and see the strategy hackers are using to hit the system and then use that to harden your "real" systems that you care about.

[grimlord5654]

is it ok to use a Powerline Ethernet adopter between mdf to idf in the same building, just to eliminate network wiring?

[elithecomputerguy]

@grimlord5654 Technically Yes.... I would feel better if it was actual Cat 5 Cable run though... Powerline is VERY good, but not AS good as a standard cable run...

I do find it intriguing that most of your hits seem to come from Africa?! (i find that really cool... gotta love the Internet)

You are making me cry with tears of joy. This is awesome. Best explanation I've ever watched. I've been doing this forever and still couldn't understand certain things but you have really cleared things up for me. I can't wait to watch all the other videos
