Working at client’s space today, setting up their internal network from the ground up. Learned a few things today:

• Ideally have:

Wall –> Router –> Managed Switch –> Unmanaged Switches (subnets) –> End Users

• Difference between unmanaged and managed switches:

Managed:

- can control individual ports
- set static/dynamic ips
- sniff traffic

Also learned about a new (for me) community:

https://0x00sec.org/

Similar to HN but more for security and reverse engineering.
