Load Balancers, Reverse Proxies, and the L7 Stack

A load balancer distributes traffic across backend servers. A reverse proxy sits in front of backend servers, terminating client connections, often inspecting and rewriting traffic. In modern architectures, the line is blurred: nginx, HAProxy, Envoy, AWS ALB, Cloudflare all do bo

Network Segmentation — VLANs, VRFs, Microsegmentation, and the Tiers Auditors Actually Look For

Segmentation is splitting your network into zones with controlled traffic between them. Done well it slows lateral movement, reduces blast radius, and is the single control RBI/SEBI/IRDAI auditors quote most often. This module covers VLAN segmentation (the campus baseline), VRF f

NAT, PAT, and the IPv4 Internet’s Duct Tape

Network Address Translation maps private IPv4 addresses to public ones, allowing many devices to share a single public IP. PAT (Port Address Translation, often called NAPT or "NAT overload") is the variant most home routers and enterprise edges use. NAT is the duct-tape that kept

TLS 1.3 — Inside the Handshake, Byte by Byte

TLS 1.3 (RFC 8446) is the modern transport-security protocol every browser, API, and increasingly every database now speaks. Compared to TLS 1.2 it cuts handshake round-trips, removes broken cryptography, and provides forward secrecy by default. This module walks the handshake —

DNS — From Resolution to Tunneling, Cache Poisoning, and DoH-Driven Bypass

DNS is unauthenticated, mostly unencrypted, and the precondition for every connection on the Internet. This module walks through how a query actually resolves (recursive vs authoritative), the attack catalogue (cache poisoning, hijack, tunnelling, NXDOMAIN exfil), and the modern

Wireless Security and Wi-Fi Attacks — WEP to WPA3, and Why Captive Portals Lie

Wi-Fi has gone through five generations of security: WEP (broken, do not deploy), WPA/WPA2 (still common, still attackable via offline cracking and KRACK), WPA3 (the modern default with SAE replacing PSK), and 802.1X / WPA3-Enterprise for managed environments. This module covers

BGP Security and RPKI — How the Internet Trusts Itself, and Why It Sometimes Should Not

BGP is the routing protocol of the Internet — every ISP, hyperscaler, and large enterprise speaks it. It assumes good behaviour by every participant; that assumption fails several times a year, and we get prefix hijacks, route leaks, and accidental outages. RPKI cryptographically

IPv6 Security — Why You Already Have IPv6 Even If You Did Not Notice

IPv6 is on by default in every modern operating system. If you only configured IPv4 ACLs, half your network is unprotected. This module covers IPv6 addressing (link-local, ULA, GUA), Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLAAC), Neighbor Discovery (the ARP replacement and its att

VPN Fundamentals — IPsec, OpenVPN, WireGuard and the Math That Makes Them Work

A VPN tunnels Layer 3 (or Layer 2) traffic over an untrusted network, with confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. The three protocols you need to know are IPsec (the enterprise default), OpenVPN (the legacy SSL VPN), and WireGuard (the modern lightweight default). This m

Firewall and ACL Design — Stateless, Stateful, NGFW, and the Rules That Survive 5 Years

A firewall is just a structured list of "allow / deny" rules applied to traffic. Stateless ACLs filter packet by packet; stateful firewalls track connections; NGFWs add Layer 7 inspection. The trick to firewall design is not picking the product — it is designing rules that are ex
