🤷♂️ What is the role of subnet mask in a network? 🌲 Full Video: https://lnkd.in/d9gWhMHr We already know about the IP address. When combined with a subnet mask, an IP address is divided into its network and host portions. The bits where the subnet mask is 1 represent the network portion, while the bits where the subnet mask is 0 represent the host portion. Devices on the same network share the same network portion of their IP addresses. They can directly communicate with each other without the need for routing through a gateway. If the destination IP address falls within the same network as the source IP address, the communication is local. On the other hand, if the destination IP address belongs to a different network, the communication is non-local. 💡 In this case, the source device needs to send the data to a gateway (usually a router) that knows how to reach the destination network. 🚀 Want to boost your cybersecurity career? 💥 Follow ByteBite 💙 Learn Something New Every day.

Cybersecurity Learner 🔐 | BS Computer Science Student at UET, Lahore | Google Cybersecurity | Breaking into Web Application Bug Bounties
Just completed the last course of the Google Cybersecurity Certificate! 🎉 The certificate was a great introduction to the cybersecurity field. My favorite course in this entire certification was the Linux and SQL one. I had set a goal to finish this certificate during my summer break, and I am glad that I achieved it with about eight days to spare. My next step is to learn more about bug bounties, starting with web development skills such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Let the adventure begin! 😀 ✅ Foundations of Cybersecurity ✅ Play It Safe: Manage Security Risks ✅ Connect and Protect: Networks and Network Security ✅ Tools of the Trade: Linux and SQL ✅ Assets, Threats, and Vulnerabilities ✅ Sound the Alarm: Detection and Response ✅ Automate Cybersecurity Tasks with Python ✅ Put It to Work: Prepare for Cybersecurity Jobs

Why “break into" cyber when you can run into it? Do the opposite others do. Volunteer on a local board ISACA, etc. which wont turn down your help nor ask for 3-5 yrs exp. 💥 Do this and magically you meet monthly with top talent on the board and insert yourself among local meetings where many cyber professionals across a variety of industries meet virtually or physically on a regular basis. Make sure you give it your all. Say yes to the things no one else on the board wants to volunteer for. Now you add immediate value and all the sudden your expertise shines over your lack of cyber experience. Your competition waits for opportunities to come to them while you run towards opportunity. Which will get hired faster? 👍❤️ 📣 comment to help this reach even more pros OpenToWork w/out 3-5 yrs working experience but that are HUNGRY to run into Cybersecurity.
