Course Overview

Basic knowledge of the Internet V.1.1. Course Topics

1. Basic concepts and architecture of the Internet

  • 1.1. What is the Internet and where is it located in ICT? 

  • 1.2. Physical and logical structure of the Internet (Network of Networks) (Done)

2. Data transfer and practical network diagnostics

  • 2.1. Data packets and protocols (How is data fragmented? IP, TCP, UDP funds)

  • 2.2. Process of data transmission (Role of routers, operation of the TCP/IP model from source to destination)

  • 2.3. Network diagnostics in everyday life (Let's look behind the scenes: a ping and a traceroute practical use)

3. The Domain Name System (DNS)

  • 3.1. What is DNA and how does it work? (The role of the translation agency, queries from the root servers to the browser)

  • 3.2. Network protection at DNS level (How to use DNS to filter and block malicious pages)

4. Web operation, cloud and data sovereignty

  • 4.1. Web servers and web language (role of HTML, CSS and JS, client-server communication)

  • 4.2. Secure data exchange: HTTP vs. HTTPS (What's the difference and why SSL/TLS is now mandatory?)

  • 4.3. Data sovereignty and self-hosted systems (Public cloud vs. own server, vendor lock-in avoidance. For example, run a Paperless document manager on your own Apollo, or separate development environments to Cronos.)

5. Internet services and applications

  • 5.1. Email systems and file transfer (How does the mail travel? SMTP, IMAP, POP3 and FTP basics)

  • 5.2. Streaming and cloud services (Operation of video-sharing and the modern SaaS, i.e. the software-as-a-service model)

6. Security on the Internet and the User's Responsibility

  • 6.1. The most common modern threats (data theft, hacking, malware and social engineering)

  • 6.2. User protection in practice (The correct implementation of password managers and the life-saving role of 2FA/MFA authentication)

7. Future technologies and data protection challenges

  • 7.1. Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G (All Networked: balance of comfort and vulnerability)

  • 7.2. Artificial Intelligence on the Internet (Locally run AI models vs. privacy and business risks of public cloud LLM solutions)
