Both Network OS and Distributed OS work on multiple systems/nodes. The main difference between a network operating system and a distributed operating system is the way they handle resources and communication between devices. A network operating system is primarily concerned with managing resources and communication within a single network, while a distributed operating system is designed to manage resources and communication across multiple networks. Read this tutorial to find out more about Network OS and Distributed OS and how they are different from each other. What is Network OS? A Network OS is a type of operating system that is ...

Nmap is a free open source tool, employed to discover hosts and services on a computer network by sending packets and analyzing the retrieved responses. Nmap offers some features for probing computer networks, including host discovery and service and operating system detection.Nmap can provide further information on targets, including reverse DNS names, device types, and MAC addresses.Host discovery – Identifying hosts on a network. For example, listing the hosts that respond to TCP and/or ICMP requests or have a particular port open.Port scanning – Enumerating the open ports on target hosts.OS detection – Determining the operating system and hardware characteristics ...

If we think an advance level of anti-virus has been installed on our computer, and we are fully secure as it performs a full system threat infection scan regularly. However, there may be instances where the scan did not detect any threat, or you cannot perform a scan. In these scenarios, we recommend that to notice the aggressive methods or symptoms to detect threats or attack.If it has been noticed an unwarranted presence of PowerShell in the task manager then our computer is definitely under attack.If a connection found to be established on port 4444 or 445 without your cognizance ...

In a computer network, the network service runs a software in each of the computers that are part of the network. In Linux System this network software uses a protocol called TCP or UDP along with port number. TCP is known as transmission control protocol and UDP is known as user datagram protocol. In this article we will see how to watch the ports are sockets which are running on this protocols on a real time basis.List of Open PortsAs a first step we look for the open ports that are available in the system. Bye open we mean the ... Read More

Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) is a multi-user version of digital data modulation scheme OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing). In OFDM, a single stream of data is divided into several separate sub-streams for transmission via multiple channels. OFDM uses the principle of frequency division multiplexing (FDM), where the available bandwidth is divided into a set of sub-streams having separate frequency bands.In OFDMA, multiple access is achieved by assignment of different subsets of subcarriers to individual stations. This permits transmission to go on simultaneously at lower data rate from several stations.The stations assigned to a given subcarrier alternate between sending ... Read More

The IEEE 802.16 is a set of standards that lays down the specifications for wireless broadband technology. It has been commercialized as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) that is responsible for delivery of last mile wireless broadband access. It lays down the standards for both physical layer as well as medium access control (MAC) layer for WiMAX.Physical Layer Features of WiMAXThere are two popular services of the physical layer −Fixed WiMAX.Mobile WiMAX.WiMAX initially provided data rates of 30 – 40 Mbps. The updated version that came in 2011 provides up to 1 Gbps data rates for fixed stations.It operates ... Read More

This article will help to know how to configure an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server and client on RHEL/Cent OS Linux to manage the system clock with to help of an NTP server.NTP (Network Time Protocol)NPT is used to synchronize a computer’s machine’s time with another time source. In RHEL / CentOS Linux we can use NTP or OpenNTPD server, which provides client and server software for time synchronization.Installing NTP SoftwareThe NTP package have utilities and daemons that will synchronize the machine time to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via the NTP protocol. The NTP package has ntpdate (Which updates the ... Read More
