CyberForce is a blog where we break down networks, attacks and defense in a way that actually makes sense — from TCP/IP fundamentals to practical protection against everyday threats.
From network fundamentals and routing protocols, through the most common cyberattacks and modern security architecture (SASE, ZTNA, CASB, DLP), to the history of the internet and the artificial intelligence that's now reshaping how attacks and defense happen too.
A complete guide to the TCP/IP layer model — from MAC addresses and ARP through IPv4 addressing and routing, to the TCP handshake, ports, and the security risks baked into the protocol's design.
Read articleThe link-state principle, Dijkstra's algorithm, neighbor states, DR/BDR election, LSA types, and the area hierarchy around Area 0 — with a custom diagram.
Read articleAutonomous systems, the path-vector principle, eBGP vs iBGP, attributes and the decision process — including BGP hijacking and RPKI as a defense.
Read articleThe Bellman-Ford algorithm, the count-to-infinity problem, split horizon, and the differences between RIPv1, RIPv2 and RIPng.
Read articlePhishing, ransomware, DDoS, MITM, SQL injection, brute-force, and supply chain attacks — an overview of 2026's most common threats and concrete steps that reduce your risk.
Read articleWhy SASE emerged, how it combines SD-WAN, SWG, FWaaS, CASB and ZTNA into a single cloud service, and its benefits and limits — with a custom diagram.
Read articleHow ZTNA differs from a traditional VPN, least-privilege access at the application level, and continuous verification instead of a one-time login.
Read articleGartner's four pillars, API vs proxy deployment, shadow IT, and how a CASB protects data inside corporate SaaS applications.
Read articleNetwork, endpoint, and cloud DLP, how a system recognizes sensitive data, and what actions it takes when it catches an attempted leak.
Read articleFrom the Turing test and the Dartmouth conference through two AI winters, expert systems and the deep learning revolution, to large language models and agentic AI — and what it means for cybersecurity.
Read articleTokenization, embeddings, self-attention and the Transformer architecture, training and RLHF, text generation, hallucinations, and security risks like prompt injection — LLMs from the ground up.
Read articlePacket switching, ARPANET's first four nodes in 1969, TCP/IP, DNS and the World Wide Web, through the dot-com era, the mobile internet, and the first internet worm — with custom diagrams.
Read articleCybersecurity content tends to fall into one of two traps: either too shallow ("10 tips for a strong password" listicles) or too academic. CyberForce aims for the middle ground — explaining how things actually work under the hood, and connecting that to real attacks and defenses you can use right away.
Articles are written in depth, on purpose, with an emphasis on understanding the underlying principle — not just memorizing a rule of thumb.
IT administrators, students, aspiring security enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to understand how networks work and where real threats come from.
