Re: Need some advice on learning networking

Kerberos is also a major reason to always make sure time is correctly set and why in Active Directory the domain controller sets time for the domain. There is a very limited offset allowed between time on the DC and a client, usually 15 minutes, that allows for a KRB ticket to be issued. If the time difference is greater than what's defined for the domain, you can't login or connect to Kerberos specific resources.

I knew that there's a time limit but I never thought about it in terms of the clock. Makes perfect sense.

rthonpm is the real deal. Post more. The more you post, the more I learn.

So, I just finished watching a 30-minute video on Kerberos. It always amazes me that someone was smart enough to invent something like this. The process really is genius. It was invented at MIT.


I won't bore with details. There's plenty of information on the net. Basically it involves 3 security keys - encrypted. Hence the name Kerberos - 3 headed dog. Kerberos is used on file servers and Active Directory to name a couple.

It's always nice to know what's going on under the hood.

Famous last words considering the amount of sloppy fixes available on it.

Wrong. I have yet to see a technical video on YouTube that was of any help. Most are total crap.

True. Not only that, but it's much better to follow a regimented course or you'll be all over the place on YouTube. There is some good stuff on YouTube but I think it should be used to supplement a regimented study course. JMHO.

Mister YouTube engineer, believe or not some of us actually can fix something without watching videos.
But for that some people need gift from the great Wizard of Oz... "The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side."

Start with the basics and gradually delve into more advanced topics as you gain confidence and expertise. Good luck with your networking journey!

I use Youtube all the time. I'd rather see someone else take it apart before I do it, and get tips and tricks on how to do it, vs me going in cold and trying to figure it out myself.

If you cannot reed and understand a service manual, you shouldn't be working on equipment.

Anyone who limits himself to one source of information is doing a disservice to his journey of learning. You should seek knowledge everywhere - Manuals, Youtube, CT.net, smoke signals, Morse Code. Hell, I've learned things from green techs.

The problem with a site like YouTube is there's no curation so good information is right next to bad. I've seen plenty of videos on Windows issues that will certainly fix a specific problem, but send up breaking low-level processes.

True. It's even worse for copiers because there's a lot less copier techs out there than computer or IT professionals. Good luck trying to find a copier solution on YouTube.
