It&#8217;s a small change but has had a big impact to my every day life activities. I&#8217;ve been switching between note taking apps over the years and I realized I needed to stick with one especially now since I started my blog and have been taking note taking seriously since starting at my university. Anyway, the one I ended up sticking with is: https:\/\/obsidian.md\/. I tried this a few years ago when it first came out but overlooked it. Since then they have updated and added a lot! Also, it&#8217;s free and there are plenty of add-ons, so check it out if you are in the same boat as me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-5-color has-palette-color-4-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-dee8a006c401a28c4fb822874761f404 wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, on to this very short but fun lab from TryHackMe. This lab is the Network Services lab, created by PoloMints: Here is the link if you wish to follow along: https:\/\/tryhackme.com\/r\/room\/networkservices. Since this lab was so short, I decided to work this blog post a little differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-5-color has-palette-color-4-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-aaa71143b88c652f9d501174667a322a wp-block-paragraph\">In this lab we are dealing with File Transfer Protocol (FTP). It is a protocol that is used for remote transfer of files over a network. The standard port # for this is 21. It uses a client-server model to do this. I recommend this quick read from author Talia Nassi on a good explanation of the client\/server model: https:\/\/www.linode.com\/blog\/cloud-computing\/client-server-model-introduction\/. I was aware of FTP and it&#8217;s usage but this lab dives deeper into it&#8217;s descriptions. FTP uses two channels, a command channel, which is used for &#8220;transmitting commands as well as replies to those commands&#8221; and a data channel, which &#8220;is used for transferring data&#8221;. The FTP server supports Active and\/or Passive connection. With Action, it requires an active connection while Passive it passively connects. The FTP server may support either or both of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-5-color has-palette-color-4-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-68a4668a36e6a83243d168716b27eefc wp-block-paragraph\">TryHackMe also links to this very detailed documentation: https:\/\/www.ietf.org\/rfc\/rfc959.txt if you wish to learn more. That&#8217;s it for this lab. I have started another project too that I am super excited about. I will post more about that soon-ish so stay tuned! Take care!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s it for this lab. I have started another project too that I am super excited back. I will post more about that soon so stay tuned!
