πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» weekend course: Practical Ethical Hacking

TIL about MAC addresses (basically device identifiers) and about protocols like TCP, UDP and the Three-Way Handshake.

Aside: I quite like the notes I'm making for this course (been using KeepNote) and wondering if I should publish them online.

πŸŽ‰ Transfer development store to new owner

I started building this demo store with a dummy product to learn the ins and outs of Shopify store development. Not just the basic 30min setup, but I wanted to learn all the bells and whistles, what makes an attractive store, psychology of design, colour theory, copywriting, conversion metrics etc. etc. etc.

Once completed, I showed it to small group of friends. Long story short, friend of a friend liked what they saw and decided to buy the store from me!? It turns out my fake product was very close to the actual product they are distributing.

On top of that, they have also hired me to maintain the store, including any future development, support, and marketing. They will take care of the logistics and supply chain.

I'll call this a win-win? What an unusual turn of events :)

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» start new course on Practical Ethical Hacking. Lesson 1: learn about IP addresses

Types of IP addresses, why we use them, protocols, how they were designed.

TIL IPv4 was created in 1981 and back then, no one imagined that we would need or use up all of 4.2 billion IP address spaces!

I learned that we came up with IPv6 but it's hardly used, and in the end we came up with private IP addresses to deal with the public IP shortage. For a household or small business, you have 254 hosts per network. Most households have only about 20 gadgets? Pretty generous. Large corps would have about 16k private IPs per network.
