Abstract

Computer networks and Internet are proving to be a free playground for Cybercriminals to commit Cybercrimes. To prevent ourselves becoming victim of cybercrime and face the severe consequences we must understand computer network, its working and components both hardware and software. To understand computer networks we need to know of how data is converted to electrical or light pulses, is sent across wires and cables or over the airwaves, the processes used on the sending and receiving ends to prepare data for sending and to translate received data back into a form usable by applications and, ultimately, computer users. Once one gets acquainted with network basics can easily proceed to investigate exploit of computer network vulnerabilities by cybercriminals and safeguard ourselves. The present research paper discusses computer network basics, types, topologies, hardware and software and protocols.
