This document outlines key network protocols including ARP, SYN, FTP, ICMP, DNS, port scans, SYN floods, and the application layer. It discusses how these protocols work from the bit level up through data encapsulation using Ethernet, IP, and TCP. Specific topics covered include the three-way handshake, how ARP maps IP addresses to MAC addresses, SYN scans, the FTP protocol, ICMP, DNS name resolution, types of port scans, and SYN floods as a denial of service attack.
