# Network Exploitation Basics

Networking is a *massive* topic, so this really will just be a brief overview; however, it will hopefully give you some foundational knowledge of the topic, which you can build upon for yourself*.*

The topics that we're going to cover are:

* The OSI Model
* The TCP/IP Model
* How these models look in practice
* An introduction to basic networking tools
* SMB, Telnet and FTP
