hi! Again my curiosity encouraged me to ask for some help, this time i m intrusted in knowing about http.1st of all what is http(hyper text transfer protocol...?) and for what purpose it is used for. From my previous post about telnet, i came to know that a hacker can connect to a system at http port (80) no matter whether he/she has a username and password for login. I wonder if it is really true. if it is than would anyone explain it to me. i m using win98 (default user) and no firewall installed. hope for some good response.
