Internet Basics (Part 1): Evolution, Service Providers and Key Concepts
Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
This lesson begins a look at the internet itself. You will learn, in brief, how the internet grew and how speed is measured. You will then learn how the internet works, the main players that keep it running, and what each one logs. You will also learn the role of internet service providers (ISPs) and why their records matter in an investigation.
Focus: understand the structure of the internet, so that later lessons on evidence make sense.
