Unprotected Share:

In Windows terminology, a 'share' is a mechanism that allows a user to connect to file systems and printers on other systems. An 'unprotected share' is one that allows anyone to connect to it.

User Datagram Protocol (UDP):

A communications protocol that, like TCP, runs on top of IP networks. Unlike TCP/IP, UDP/IP provides very few error recovery services, offering instead a direct way to send and receive datagrams over an IP network. It's used primarily for broadcasting messages over a network. UDP uses the Internet Protocol to get a datagram from one computer to another but does not divide a message into packets (datagrams) and reassemble it at the other end. Specifically, UDP doesn't provide sequencing of the packets that the data arrives in.
