Ah, the beauty of the baud!
Takes me back to my '2600' years, hacking, building my own 300 baud modem and hacking around on BB (Bulletin board) services way back in the 80's!
WAY before Vinton Cerf even knew I existed here in Australia. He soon found out about me though. So did Bob and Postel (RIP)!
My works can be seen, strewn throughout some of the RFC's (although, no-one EVER gets a mention in them - the way it should be) but I certainly caused several 'DENTS' in the certainty several thinktank members had in their ability to make TCP/IP impervious to 'hackers'!
I'm a grey/gray hat hacker and I'm ethical.
I ALWAYS leave a 'calling card'!
FIX YOUR HOLES IN 2 WEEKS! - OR ELSE! (nothing really - but putting the fear of losing money (real, imaginary or believed) always spurred companies on to fix their security holes!
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet protocol!
3 layers or 7 in your OSI?
Doesn't matter! They're all theoretical layers anyway!
"Just as long as the layer above and the layer below, do their job correctly, I don't need to know what their doing. All I care about is that I get sent the suitable data that I can deal with.
Above: Do your right job and pass the results on to me. I don't care what you do. Just give me the data I need, to do my own job!"
That's what the (theoretical) layers say to each other!
But wait. There's more!
"After I'm finished doing my part with the data you sent me (in a format I could handle), I'll pass it down to a different level so they can accept the data (that I added my bit to) forget me
