while looking up some terms above, the Host (network) entry has this P that included most of them
In operating systems, the term terminal host denotes a time-sharing computer or multi-user software providing services to computer terminals, or a computer that provides services to smaller or less capable devices,[1] such as a mainframe computer serving teletype terminals or video terminals. Other examples of this architecture include a telnet host connected to a telnet server and an xhost connected to an X Window client.
here is a glossary of the other things i defined along the way

Messages
Information is transmitted from HOST to HOST in bundles called
messages. A message is any stream of not more than 8080 bits,
together with its header. The header is 16 bits and contains the
following information:
Destination 5 bits
Link 8 bits
Trace 1 bit
Spare 2 bits

This is an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.
A rubber mat saying 'Welcome to Zork!' lies by the door.

That's not a verb I recognise.

You'll have to say which compass direction to go in.

You are facing the north side of a white house. There is no door here, and all the windows are barred.
terminal emulator
A terminal emulator, terminal application, or term, is a program that emulates a video terminal within some other display architecture. Though typically synonymous with a shell or text terminal, the term terminal covers all remote terminals, including graphical interfaces. A terminal emulator inside a graphical user interface is often called a terminal window. e.g. Terminal.app, iTerm, and… ZOC :~)
SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network.[1] Typical applications include remote command-line login and remote command execution, but any network service can be secured with SSH.
Telnet
Telnet is a protocol used on the Internet or local area network to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. User data is interspersed in-band with Telnet control information in an 8-bit byte oriented data connection over the Transmission Control Protocol.
host i think this word is confusing because it literally has 6+ definitions regularly used that mean v different things, so here are some:
a simple utility for performing DNS lookups. It is normally used to convert names to IP addresses and vice versa
$ host hackmd.io
hackmd.io has address 52.194.216.48
hackmd.io has address 54.65.58.17
hackmd.io has IPv6 address 2406:da14:88d:a100:1a64:5804:bc86:2c3b

the good ole dictionary is good for understanding this concept of a host computer…
a person, place, or organization that holds and organizes an event to which others are invited: Innsbruck once played host to the Winter Olympics.
(also host computer) a computer that mediates multiple access to databases mounted on it or provides other services to a computer network.

A network host is a computer or other device connected to a computer network. A network host may offer information resources, services, and applications to users or other nodes on the network. A network host is a network node that is assigned a network address.
Computers participating in networks that use the Internet protocol suite may also be called IP hosts. Specifically, computers participating in the Internet are called Internet hosts, sometimes Internet nodes. Internet hosts and other IP hosts have one or more IP addresses assigned to their network interfaces. The addresses are configured either manually by an administrator, automatically at startup by means of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or by stateless address autoconfiguration methods.
Network hosts that participate in applications that use the client-server model of computing, are classified as server or client systems. Network hosts may also function as nodes in peer-to-peer applications, in which all nodes share and consume resources in an equipotent manner.

ARPANET HOST AVAILABILITY DATA
Several months ago a SURVEY program was implemented on the
MIT-DMCG ITS PDP-10 system to aid in gathering information on the
availability of various HOSTS on the ARPANET. The purpose of this
Request for Comments is threefold:
1. to inform the Network Working Group of the
existence of this information gathering service
and about getting access to it,
2. to present the results of SURVEY for its first
few months, and
3. to correct errors in our data or collection methods.

ScanSSH supports scanning a list of addresses and networks for open proxies, SSH protocol servers, Web and SMTP servers. Where possible ScanSSH, displays the version number of the running services. ScanSSH protocol scanner supports random selection of IP addresses from large network ranges and is useful for gathering statistics on the deployment of SSH protocol servers in a company or the Internet as whole.
