Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna

Microstrip is a type of electrical transmission line which can be fabricated using printed circuit board technology, and is used to convey microwave-frequency signals. It consists of a conducting strip separated from a ground plane by a dielectric layer known as the substrate. The most commonly employed microstrip antenna is a rectangular patch which looks like a truncated  microstrip  transmission line. It is approximately of one-half wavelength long. When air is used as the dielectric substrate, the length of the rectangular microstrip antenna is approximately one-half of a free-space  wavelength . As the antenna is loaded with a dielectric as its substrate, the length of the antenna decreases as the relative  dielectric constant  of the substrate increases. The resonant length of the antenna is slightly shorter because of the extended electric "fringing fields" which increase the electrical length of the antenna slightly. An early model of the microst...

Cracking Passwords Using John the Ripper: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Cracking Passwords Using John the Ripper: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide In today's post, we’re diving into a practical lab exercise that shows how to use John the Ripper, one of the most effective password-cracking tools in cybersecurity. Whether you're an IT professional or a cybersecurity student, mastering John the Ripper will help you understand password vulnerabilities and enhance your penetration testing skills. Lab Objective: The goal of this lab is to crack the root password on a Linux system (Support) and extract the password from a password-protected ZIP file (located on IT-Laptop). Both tasks are performed using John the Ripper. Steps to Crack the Root Password on Support: Open the Terminal on the Support system. Change directories to /usr/share/john . List the files and open password.lst to view common password guesses. Use John the Ripper to crack the root password by running john /etc/shadow . Once cracked, the password is stored in the john.pot file for future u...
