1) What is Cryptography?
Cryptography is the practice and study of techniques for securing communication and data from unauthorized access by converting it into an unreadable format. It involves

IDS (Intrusion Detection System) monitors network or system activities and alerts administrators of suspicious activities but does not take action. IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) not only detects but also blocks or prevents detected threats in real-time.
The CIA triad stands for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability—three core principles of information security. Confidentiality ensures data is accessible only to authorized users, Integrity guarantees that data is accurate and unaltered, and Availability ensures data and systems are accessible when needed.
Encryption is a reversible process that converts plaintext into ciphertext using keys, allowing authorized parties to decrypt it back. Hashing is a one-way function converting data into a fixed-size string (hash), which cannot be reversed, used mainly for data verification and integrity checks.
A firewall is a security device or software that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. It is used to block unauthorized access while permitting legitimate communication, thereby protecting networks from attacks.
Vulnerability Assessment identifies, quantifies, and prioritizes vulnerabilities in a system, generally through automated scanning. Penetration Testing simulates real attacks to exploit vulnerabilities actively, demonstrating how an attacker could breach the system.
The three-way handshake is the process used by TCP/IP networks to establish a reliable connection between a client and server. It involves three steps: SYN (synchronize), SYN-ACK (synchronize-acknowledge), and ACK (acknowledge).
A three-way handshake establishes a TCP connection by exchanging SYN, SYN-ACK, and ACK packets between client and server.
Web applications return HTTP response codes like 200 (OK), 201 (Created), 301 (Moved Permanently), 400 (Bad Request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden), 404 (Not Found), 500 (Server Error), and others.
Traceroute traces the path data packets take to a destination, helping diagnose network delays, failures, and identify each hop between source and target.
