Is Bitcoin fully anonymous?



Bitcoin is not entirely anonymous. Each user has public address that can be tracked theoretically, through proper network analysis.    

Bitcoin are stored in wallet and wallet have your personal data.

When we transfer bitcoin, a message is broadcast In public about the transaction, we declare that bitcoin in been exchange so that miner can confirm our transaction and put it in the bitcoin blockchain network. This data is publicly broadcast and permanently stored on the bitcoin blockchain which has the address from where it came from and amount transfer.

Using this hacker can reach to your wallet and get all personal detail, amount of bitcoin you have, and also have access to see your future transaction.

To remain private though, this thing bitcoin mixing was introduced.

How bitcoin mixer works?

How it maintains our privacy?

That will be explained in the next blog.

Authentication Authorization Accounting(week 3)

Identification is the idea of describing an entity uniquely. Biometric authentication is the process of using unique physiological characteristics of an individual to identify them. C.R.L(Certificate revocation list) :This is a signed list published by the CA which defines certificates that have been explicitly revoked. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol(LDAP): LDAP is an open industry-standard protocol for accessing and maintaining directory services. Authentication is related to verifying the identity a user, authorization pertains to describing what the user account has access to or doesn't have access to. An access control list or ACL , is a way of defining permissions or authorizations for objects.  RADIUS or Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service , is a protocol that provides AAA services for users on a network.It's a very common protocol used to manage access to internal networks, WiFi networks, email services and VPN services. when a client wants to access a r...

TCP Segment

A TCP segment is made up of a TCP header and a data section. Source Port :  A source port is a high numbered port chosen from a special section of ports known as ephemeral ports. A source port is needed so that when the web server replies, the computer making the original request can send this data to the program that was actually requesting it. It is in this way that when it web server responds to your requests to view a web page that this response gets received by your web browser and not your word processor. Destination Port : port on which the client in request the data( The destination port is the port of the service the traffic is intended for ) Sequence Number :This is a 32-bit number that's used to keep track of where in a sequence of TCP segments this one is expected to be.There are limits to the total size of what we send across the wire. In Ethernet frame, it's usually limited in size to 1,518 bytes, but we usually need to send way more data than that. At the transp...

Troubleshooting and debugging

Troubleshooting is the process of identifying, analyzing, and solving problems.  Debugging is the process of identifying, analyzing, and removing bugs in a system. We sometimes use troubleshooting and debugging interchangeably.  But generally, we say troubleshooting when we're fixing problems in the system running the application, and debugging when we're fixing the bugs in the actual code of the application. Debuggers let us follow the code line by line, inspect changes in variable assignments, interrupt the program when a specific condition is met, and more. System calls are the calls that the programs running on our computer make to the running kernel.   A reproduction case is a way to verify if the problem is present or not. Where to check for log file in OS? On Linux , you'd read system logs like /var/log/syslog and user-specific logs like the .xsession-errors file located in the user's home directory. On MacOs , on top of the system logs, you'd go through...
