CHMOD

CHMOD is used to change permissions of a file.

PERMISSION COMMAND

U G W

rwx rwx rwx chmod 777 filename

rwx rwx r-x chmod 775 filename

rwx r-x r-x chmod 755 filename

rw- rw- r-- chmod 664 filename

rw- r-- r-- chmod 644 filename

U = User

G = Group

W = World

r = Readable

w = writable

x = executable

- = no permission

Here is another way of looking at it:

Permissions:

400 read by owner

040 read by group

004 read by anybody (other)

200 write by owner

020 write by group

002 write by anybody

100 execute by owner

010 execute by group

001 execute by anybody

To get a combination, just add them up. For example, to get read, write, execute by owner, read, execute, by group, and execute by anybody, you would add 400+200+100+040+010+001 to give 751.

Cisco Command "Auto secure"

Cisco Command "Auto secure" In today's article, I'm going to quickly inform you about the Privileged EXEC command named "auto secure". Network administrators (like you) use the "auto secure" command to secure the management and forwarding planes of a router. Another way of saying it is, CCNAs use this command to secure a router by disabling common IP services which can be exploited by attackers to initiate network attacks. When the command is typed on a router, it takes the user (ccna) through a command line-interface (CLI) semi-interactive session (which is also known as the AutoSecure dialogue). Below is the command's syntax: auto secure [management | forwarding] [no-interact | full] [ntp | login | ssh | firewall | tcp-intercept] As you can see, the command can use several "optional" keywords: management - This (optional) keyword is used to only secure the management plane of a router. forwarding - This (optional) keyword is used to

What's the difference between 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g?

What's the difference between 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g? The first difference is that 802.11a uses the 5GHz radio frequency (RF) spectrum while 802.11g and 802.11b share the 2.4GHz spectrum. Therefore 802.11a will not interfere with 802.11g or 802.11b. Since 802.11a uses the 5GHz spectrum, it will have less distance capabilities due the physical nature of electromagnetic radiation. 802.11b and 802.11g use an RF spectrum that allows for 3 non-interfering channels (in North America). 802.11a uses a wider spectrum that allows for 12 non-interfering channels which will be 23 non-interfering channels with soon to be released standard. The idea of non-interfering (or non-overlapping) channels allows more wireless users to be concentrated in an area without having to share the transmission medium. 802.11b, while sharing the same 2.4GHz frequency spectrum as 802.11g, has lower transmission rates and different modulation techniques than 802.11g. For a discussion of transmission ra
