👉 Rip computing is a method for securely copying and distributing files over a network, particularly useful in scenarios where direct file sharing is not feasible or secure. It leverages existing network infrastructure, such as routers and switches, to create a secure tunnel through which data packets are encapsulated and transmitted. This process involves the use of a "rip server" that acts as an intermediary, copying files from a source network to a destination network while maintaining encryption and integrity checks to prevent tampering or unauthorized access. Rip computing is often employed in environments where file sharing needs to be both efficient and secure, such as in corporate networks or between remote users, by ensuring that data remains private and protected against interception or alteration during transit.
