Intranet:
● An intranet is a private network that is confined within an organization or
company.
● It is used to facilitate internal communication, collaboration, and information
sharing among employees, departments, or branches of the organization.
● Access to an intranet is typically restricted to authorized users within the

● Intranets often host internal websites, document repositories, collaboration
● Extranet
Extranets are typically accessed through the internet using secure technologies such
maintaining control over access and protecting sensitive information. Extranets are
commonly used for purposes like sharing documents, collaborating on projects,

some common ones:
1. ipconfig / ifconfig: This command displays network configuration
information such as IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
It's used in Windows (ipconfig) and Unix-like operating systems
(ifconfig).
2. ping: Used to test the reachability of a host on a network by
sending ICMP echo request packets and waiting for ICMP echo
reply packets.
3. What is ICMP used for? Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used for
reporting errors and performing network diagnostics. In the error reporting
process, ICMP sends messages from the receiver to the sender when data
does not come though as it should.

6. tracert / traceroute: This command traces the route that packets
take to reach a destination, showing all the intermediate hops
between your computer and the target.
7. netstat: This command displays network statistics such as active
connections, routing tables, and interface statistics.
8. nslookup / dig: These commands are used to query DNS servers to
resolve domain names to IP addresses and vice versa.
9. arp: Displays and modifies entries in the Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP) cache, which maps IP addresses to MAC
addresses on a local network.
10. route: Allows you to view and manipulate the IP routing table,
including adding or deleting routes.
11. nmap: A powerful network scanning tool used for discovering
hosts and services on a computer network, thus creating a "map"
of the network.
12. ssh: Used to securely connect to a remote computer or device
over a network.
13. ftp / scp: These commands are used for transferring files between
a local and a remote computer over a network. ftp is used for
14. ‘SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) is a network protocol used for
securely transferring files between a local and a remote host or
between two remote hosts over a network. Here are some key
points about SCP and how it works:
15. traditional FTP connections, while scp (secure copy) is used for
secure file transfers.
16. In computer networking, a 'wireless access point' ('WAP') is a
device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network
using Wi-Fi, or related standards. The AP usually connects to a
Router (computing)|router (via a wired network) as a standalone
device, but it can also be an integral component of the router itself
