Computer hacking is the practice of gaining unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, and data without the owner’s knowledge or consent. It’s a form of cybercrime that can be used for malicious purposes such as stealing sensitive information, installing malware, or causing system damage.

Intro to A History of Cloud Computing
As part of my first article for this platform, I am going to write about the history of cloud computing. This will be a useful article since many people know that cloud computing is an important new technological development, but very few could probably tell you exactly what cloud computing is or how it works. Looking at the history of how cloud computing got to the position it has now will hopefully shed some light on the importance of cloud computing. Now, what is cloud computing? According to Oxford, the definition of cloud computing is “the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer”.
What Is the Dark Web and How Can You Start Using It?
The internet is a vast, interconnected network of information and services that are accessible to everyone with an internet connection. However, there’s a small corner of the internet that’s not easily accessible by the general public: the dark web. The dark web is a subset of the internet that’s not indexed by search engines and requires specialized software to access. It’s often associated with illegal activities and anonymity, but it can also be a place where individuals can communicate and exchange information without fear of censorship or surveillance.

Cyberattacks and modern warfare
Cyberattacks have had an interesting effect on modern warfare. For those who have no clue, a cyberattack is basically any form of a malicious attack on a computer system or any form of network to disrupt operations. Some of these attacks can be small-scale which can take the form of pop-up ads that – in clicked on – can put ransomware or malware on a computer system. However, cyberattacks can potentially be done on a large scale with the attacks potentially stealing valuable information from government agency databases. These attacks can come from criminals that want to steal sensitive data or disrupt a system for some personal or financial gain. However, there could be a larger attack that is planned out by a rival government or military force.

Before social media the internet was a different place
This is a nonfiction recollection of events as experienced by me; used with permission. There was a time when Facebook wasn't something everyone used. When people that were on the internet regularly were seen as outliers. It wasn't until social media that almost everyone I know of really got obsessed with what was going on in the online world.

Scapy: A Useful Python Library for Computer Network Hackers
Python is a very interesting and useful programming language for various coders and programmers around the world. It is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. This basically means that Python is a programming language that is mostly independent of any particular type of computer or operating system and can be used for building a wide variety of software applications. Python is widely used in different domains like machine learning, data science, and web development. This is easy to do with Python because the programming language can be installed for free as a free, open-source programming language. This same principle also goes with the variety of different python libraries you can download for free to increase the functionality of the programming language and use it for more capabilities than what you have with the base version of the language.
