This tutorial will talk about packet filtering. First we must define what packet filtering is. Packet filtering is a process of allowing or blocking packets at an arbitrary layer of OSI: physical, data-link, network, transport, session, presentation or application layer. More about OSI can be read on the Wikipedia page[1]. Usually we’re talking about allowing/blocking packets on a network layer, which contains an IP header. The following picture of an IP header was taken from Wikipedia [2]:...

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tom Holland has given us the definitive on-screen portrayal of Peter Parker. And he’s been surrounded by a terrific supporting cast. Marisa Tomei makes a lovable Aunt May, Zendaya is compelling as Peter’s love interest, M.J., and Tony Revolori is hilarious in the role of Flash Thompson, the bully who hates Peter and admires Spider-Man without realizing they’re the same person. Arguably, Peter’s most entertaining relationship in the MCU is his friendship with his best pal, Ned Leeds, played by Jacob Batalon....

She’s the silent hero of both Portal games but what is Chell’s backstory? Portal was originally included with The Orange Box, a package that included other Valve games like Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress 2.

Like Half-Life’s Gordon Freeman, Portal’s heroine Chell remains mute for the entire game....

I pre-ordered the off-cycle release iPhone SE last month and switched from the top-of-the-line iPhone 6s Plus....

If you live in a city or dense suburb and don’t have delivery robots in your area yet, brace yourself: They’re coming. Delivery bots are designed to reduce car traffic and increase efficiency for last-mile urban delivery. They’re also pretty amazing data collection devices, which advocates say will help streamline operations and reduce waste but will also lead to profound privacy worries in the near future. One of the leading providers in the field, Starship Technologies, recently released its 2021 Robot Wrap Up, “highlighting the most popular and quirky requests and orders” that its fleet of more than 1,000 robots worldwide have received in the past year....

The Pirates of the Caribbean series is one of the most surprising movie franchises around. Few would think that a film based on a theme park ride would be a worthy cinematic experience. Yet the series has spawned five installments to date, received several academy award nominations and has become one of the highest-grossing franchises of all time. Part of the reason the films have built such a strong fan base is because of its characters....

A 1980s action film about Arnold Schwarzenegger punching an alien visitor doesn’t sound like the kind of movie that would stand the test of time. But, surprisingly, John McTiernan’s Predator still holds up as a suspense-filled masterpiece. While the handful of unrelated sequels that followed all failed to live up to the first movie’s legacy, the 1987 original is a timeless gem. There are a few key reasons why Predator remains one of the quintessential movies of Schwarzenegger’s career and a wildly entertaining ride that new audiences are discovering every year....
