  • Difficulty Intermediate
  • Parts 10
  • Stack TCP, IP, ports, packets

What you are learning

Stackwire is layered networking labs you can repeat. The teaching focus is TCP/IP (TCP, IP, ports, packets).

Work in order. Early parts set vocabulary and environment; later parts assume the earlier checkpoints.

How to use these lessons

Read the goal, open the matching GitHub folder, complete the lab or exercises, then return for the explanation. If a command fails, check you are in the numbered folder first.
