The Connection Between Geolocation And IPv4 Addresses
Will someone be able to find your general area or city using your IP address?. Yes, it is possible. Geolocation software helps with this. Your country, state, city, and even your zip code can be found using geolocation services. Read along to know more about geolocation. Also to know the connection between geolocation and IPv4 addresses. Read on. Geolocation As said above, geolocation is simply the process of finding the geographical location of a person. Which is done by using the digital data from the internet-connected device used by the person. Various technologies can also be used to find the location of a person. However, an IP address is the most reliable one. Details like country, state, latitude and longitude,[…]

RIPE IPv4 Addresses – How To Get One
IPv4 address exhaustion and transferring to IPv6 addresses has been a hot topic of discussion on the internet. Be it RIPE IPv4 addresses or IPs from other RIRs. Yes, the internet has run out of IPv4 addresses. And yes, there are many reasons for this. Some of them are: • IPv4 is capable of offering a maximum number of 4.3 billion IP addresses. And the number of internet users have already exceeded this value. • Many users are demanding and using more than one IP address. • Even after the introduction of IPv6, the demand for IPv4 addresses is still on the rise. RIPE Registry The internet is categorized into five regions for better IP address allocation. An[…]

What Is IPv5 Protocol? All That You Need To Know
The internet as you know was only being developed in 1970. Many new internet protocols were being designed since then. These protocols were aimed at setting guidelines for internet usage. Also, to preside over how data packets having tons of data can be sent over a network. Many internet protocols like IPv4 and IPv6 were developed and made available. In the middle of these protocols, another internet protocol, namely IPv5 was developed. But, it was not released for public use. What happened to the IPv5 protocol? Read along to know. IPv5 Protocol There are many genuine reasons for not adopting IPv5 as an internet protocol. Before looking into the reasons for the non-adoption of IPv5, let us see what IPv5[…]

IP Address Blacklisting – All That You Need To Know
As the name suggests IP address blacklisting is the process of grouping a list of IP addresses as untrustworthy. Oftentimes, IP addresses are blacklisted to ensure smooth functioning over email servers. If IP address blacklisting was not in practice, our email inboxes will be full of spam messages. The ones that have irrelevant and malicious content. Some of the spam messages can be very harmful as they can include malware that can retrieve sensitive details from the computer. Therefore, IP address blacklisting is an important activity to avoid chaos. How IP Address Blacklisting Happen? Different databases set different criteria to blacklist an IP address. Suspicious behavior noticed on the IP address can be the main reason for the blacklisting. There[…]

Seven Steps to Successful IPV4 Transfer – Infographic
Is your company looking to buy IPv4 addresses? If so, it should know that these resources are available only through transfer or trading sources, such as IPv4 brokers. The sale and purchase of IPv4 addresses through these secondary sources are known as IPv4 transfers. Does your company possess unused IP addresses, or is it seeking these resources? If so, you can most likely sell or find unused IPv4 addresses on the secondary market. According to the number of IP addresses available at your company and many other factors, the transfer could be a resource-intensive effort for you. Here are some steps to consider in the process to help make it successful.

A Note On The Different Kinds Of Spoofing Attacks
The term spoofing is no joke in the case of information security. It includes many techniques that are aimed at camouflaging a malicious device or actor as something else. The goal of spoofing is to gain access to the system and get hold of important details, spread malicious software or steal money. There are numerous variants of spoofing attacks and commonly encountered ones are as follows: ARP Spoofing ARP spoofing a type of man-in-the-middle attack and cybercriminals flood a network with false Address Resolution Protocol packets to disturb the normal traffic routing process. The logic here is to bind the MAC address of the adversary to the IP address of the default gateway of the target. As a result[…]

Protecting Your IP address From Hacking
You might have come across the term IP addressing hacking in many online resources that discuss network security. It is nothing like getting access to your online accounts, as IP address hacking will not give access to your passwords and other credentials. What it does is to let a hacker use your IP address for illegal online activities. These activities could be anything from tracking your location, make use of your IP address to access unauthorized or malicious online content, use your IP address to upload, and attacking your network to result in a network failure. These are merely a few of the ways in which a hacker could use your IP address. It is due to this reason that[…]

Types of AWS IP Address – Infographic
AWS services come with three forms of Internet Protocol addresses, as shown in this infographic. A public Internet Protocol address comes from a form of subnetwork that can be publicly routed over the internet. A private IP address is useable to communicate from one instance to the other in the Virtual Private Cloud. For your information, an instance here means a virtual web server. An elastic Internet Protocol address is made to facilitate dynamic cloud computing. It is possible to associate Amazon’s virtual server with any one of these three address types. Find more information about these here.

Understanding the Differences between TCP/IP and OSI Models
TCP and IP are the two main network protocols or communications standards of the internet. Where TCP defines how different applications can communicate over reliable channels across a network, IP regulates how devices connected to the internet can transmit and receive data over the network or an interconnected set of networks. In other words, IP defines routing and addressing while TCP defines how the connected peripherals can communicate across the IP-mediated link without any data loss. The OSI or Open Systems Interconnection model, on the contrary, defines how the different tasks related to the network communication can be segregated across multiple layers of software and hardware components. It was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as the ISO/IEC[…]

Everything You Need to Know about CIDR
CIDR or Classless Inter-Domain Routing stands for an IP addressing method that is designed to improve the efficiency of IP address allocation. CIDR replaces the previous system of distributing IP addresses based on Class A, Class B, and Class C networks. The new method is also seen to benefit IPv4 addresses and extend their life cycles while slowing the development of routing tables. Also known as supernetting, the main goal of CIDR was to decelerate the rapid exhaustion of IPv4 addresses across the internet. This eventually led to freeing up a lot of unused and available IP addresses. At the same time, it also helped to deal with many of the inefficiencies of the old method of IP addressing that[…]
