About the project
Protocols Visualizer is an interactive educational tool designed to make the study of networks and protocols more accessible through animated visualizations and simulations.
The idea is that concepts often learned from dense manuals — such as the TCP handshake, IP routing, or attacks like SYN Flood — can be understood more intuitively by seeing data flow and interactions in action.
What the project covers
- •Complete OSI model, with all seven layers and navigation by protocol in each layer.
- •Protocols from all layers: TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP, ARP (network/transport), HTTP, DNS, FTP, SMTP (application), SSL/TLS, JPEG, MPEG (presentation), RPC, NetBIOS (session), Ethernet, Wi-Fi, PPP (data link), Bluetooth, USB, Coaxial (physical).
- •Animated visualizations of each protocol's communication — handshakes, requests/responses, compression, etc.
- •Security section with interactive attack simulations (SYN Flood, ARP Spoofing, Deauth, Bad USB, among others).
Technologies
Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion, and next-intl for internationalization (Portuguese and English).
About the author
Hi! I'm a developer and I'm also very interested in information security and networking.
I work with software development and enjoy creating tools and content that help people understand how protocols and security work in practice.
The security side — from common attacks to best practices — is one of the reasons I built this visualizer: to make these concepts more accessible in an interactive way.
