Link to room: https://www.tryhackme.com/room/bpnetworking (Fig.The Room)
This is a free room,consist of 4 task with sub-tasks.This is a easy room.Let’s go ahead and solve.
[TASK 1]: Kinda like a street address, just cooler.
When we are sending a letter or a package to our friend or relative we write from and to address also on it.Just like that when computers are connected in a network and when they send or receives message they use IP (internet protocol) addresses to locate each other in the network.
Ip address are divided into different classes according to their uses
IP Address Classes
Private Address Space
class D and class E are used for research and military purposes only.
The IP addresses mentioned here are IP v4 addresses,if you check your IP address now you may find something else with hexadecimals,that is because you are using IP v6. If you want to know more about it check this video out: https://youtu.be/8npT9AALbrI
Just including another video about sub netting, seven second sub netting video link :- https://youtu.be/ZxAwQB8TZsM
1.1
How many categories of IPv4 addresses are there?
Ans: 5

1.12
A particularly unique address is reserved for unroutable packets, what is that address? This can also refer to all IPv4 addresses on the local machine.
Ans: 0.0.0.0
[TASK 2]: Binary to Decimal.
To understand how it is done watch: https://youtu.be/iDu6JgdkQ7s
Computer is an electronic device and it can understand only binary language.
Let’s do some binary conversions, for this task we shall use any online binary converter : https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/binary-to-decimal.html

[TASK 3]: Decimal to Binary.
To understand how it is done watch : https://youtu.be/88UBoquXmiQ
Note:For the sake of preserving the full octet, pad the front of each answer with the appropriate amount of zeros.
We shall use an online converter for this task: https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/decimal-to-binary.html
