Whew, haven't done this in a while.

Starting to read the Beej's guide to network programming. Haas has stated that if I can write network code independent of resources I will receive an A in datacom.

OK DONE
====Entry 2: October 26, 2012====

Today i'm putting a huge dent into this network programming. So far I have learned that programming in windows is kinda insane, and with unix it provides a greater learning environment. 

There are two main structures used in network programming (for c++), struct sockaddr and struct sockaddr_in.
The last one is how sane people structure the program so it can travel over the internet. Within that struct contains a unsigned short int for the port and a short int for the address family. 
====Entry 3: October Day, 2012====

This is a sample format for a dated entry. Please substitute the actual date for "Month Day, Year", and duplicate the level 4 heading to make additional entries.

As an aid, feel free to use the following questions to help you generate content for your entries:

  * What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date?
  * Why was this significant?
  * What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense?
  * What challenges are you facing with respect to the course?

Remember that 4 is just the minimum number of entries. Feel free to have more.

Trick or Treat!

YEA IM GETTIN SOME CANDY 

Y.U.M. = Yellowdog Updater Modified
R.P.M. = Redhat Package Manager

It seems there is a great difference between these two. They are both structured over the rpm distributions and they cannot be ported to debian based distros like Ubuntu.
YUM > RPM because it can install the dependencies for you. That means if you don't know how to exactly configure the dependent programs, it will do it for you.

=====Experiment 2=====

Onion Routing 

====Resources====
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_routing
http://www.onion-router.net/
https://www.torproject.org/

====Hypothesis====
Everything you do on the internet is being surveillance. You are never alone on the web, there are always dark forces making sure you're not breaking any laws. Of course, there are ways around being tracked all the time.

One is by the use of onion routing. By bouncing off an onion router, you are able to change your ip and travel the web through a sort of pseudo encrypted environment.  

====Experiment====
In my experiment, I will try to access a blocked website through the campus network connection, then try to connect through onion routing.

====Data====

I began by trying to go somewhere blocked. Lets say 4chan /g/. 
When I try to visit the page I get a blocked message by the sonic wall.

So I begin by downloading a tor web browser. This uses a pre configured environment that allows travel via the onion network.

by untaring the folder and running the browser, it begins forwarding the ports through the network.

Once set up, we try the link again.

success, it travels through the network and into the web

====Analysis====
Based on the data collected:

  * Was your hypothesis correct? yes
  * Was your hypothesis not applicable? no
  * Is there more going on than you originally thought? (shortcomings in hypothesis) nope
  * What shortcomings might there be in your experiment? none
  * What shortcomings might there be in your data? yes

====Conclusions====
I need to use this more often
