Fundamental Understanding of Network and Network Security

Abstract

This paper encompasses the aspects of how website was created and operated in the 2008 to 2010 era. As current technologies has long surpassed the methods of the technologies just 12 years ago. I have made this paper for the people to understand the traditional and the fundamental way of hosting a website, and also the security aspects back then. This even includes an explanation of group policy management, a very overlooked concept in the field of IT, and for aspiring IT professionals as myself, this is a necessary skill to learn. Since current technologies require a variety of skills are required to present a fully working website (including programming languages such as python or C++, scripting languages such Java script, HTML, CSS and backend applications, understanding of API and etc..), it can be daunting for new aspiring developers, this paper creates the fundamental understanding of network and network security, in which these aspiring developers and take an understanding of the past technologies and move ahead with their careers.
