Welcome to the party !!!

Nothing wrong with X. People need to stop getting political and just mute or ignore stuff they don’t agree with instead of crying and refuses to use the platform. Grow up.

8 bootstrapped malware? Haha. That's the thing career in black hat is just that, stuff that's illegal, hence why I stay away from them

They stay mad cause they actually have to do some work 😂

And what was the law? Let the government spy on us and stuff? Suppress our privacy in the name of an "enemy" that was a child of CIA in the first place? Don't be so slaverish to your bosses.

Crazy part to me is he exposed national security secrets, and barely anything even happened with the general population.. not sure they even cared. The gov basically still does it too

He broke a law that was in place to protect the corrupt government. So no he should be free and celebrated.

Bruh...smoking weed was illegal because black jazz artists were pulling white women too easy...to say you BROKE THE LAW when the law was created by corrupt MEN...then your perspective and opinion is based on flawed and ignorant assumptions...you condemn a man to DEATH AND TREASON because he "broke a law" by whistleblowing on corrupt and evil people in OUR government...dude youre a joke...why arent you upset at the people who BROKE THE LAW in OUR OWN government?? You're a joke..."did he expose some things we were doing?" "In retrospect its pretty wild?" "Do i fault him?" Dude I WILL NEVER sub to someone like you...why even put this out there?...

Should he be arrested? There's an argument for it, but "he broke the law" isn't it. Anne Frank broke the law. The soldiers who killed her were obeying it. Black and white opinions are for children who don't have the capacity for complexity.

If you think pointing out that your government is breaking the law, you're an idiot. You have both a moral and legal obligation to report abuse of power. There can be no law protecting criminal activities

This is huge. Good stuff thank you Neal!

What is a zero day? Some kind of missile?

Whats with you stopping mid sentence and then just stopping with an outro😂

No, they don’t think TikTok is the only social media platform that collects data. They know they all do. What they are concerned about is the Chinese government having their data and what they will do with it, even though the other platforms would probably sell it to them, if they haven’t already.

what happened to ur beard and eyebrows

I think the distinction comes down to something very simple: the job market. Boot camps are not going to add shit to a resume, certs and/or a degree get you past filters, and can get you interviews. Obviously once you have a lot of experience you can get away without any certs/degrees, but the market is SUPER rough for mid/entry level right now.

Based on how much I learned prepping for OSCP, I can confidently say it’s not a scam

Please, what is that soc essential book mentioned?

@nealbridges can you get in the nsa without a degree

I agree in being skepticle with your money 100 %

Im doing certs right now

Wonder how you got a government job then I thought you needed a degree or certs other wise no one looks at you I just want to make sure im set up for success its hard to figure out people say certs degrees but not bootcamps Im not a fan of college bc all your doing is completing assignment ls and letting hr check a box

like how?

Then what makes you stand out, in today's job market?

Great to see you streaming again, though I missed it live. Hope to catch you next time!! :) <3

Transparency what we love to see. Don’t expect results when you are not working.

I get that, so in learning bug bounties, should one use bug bounties and learn simultaneously

You need something to enter the field but right now it's saturated, and certs companies are raking in loot.smh

It seemingly is such a small thing but the impact on an individual just to say hi to them, or acknowledge a busy day is absolutely huge.

Watching the vid a month later

What about regular security analyst? Not a SOC Analyst.

I’ve been doing this for 20 across many areas of technology and I still have it from time to time. Just surround yourself with humble team mates that all want to learn and share. It dilutes imposter syndrome from happening to you and your team. I also think it comes from people who have a passion to learn.

You talking about threat models reminds me of all the stories on social media from people that think all of their devices have been hacked and they are actively being stalked. My question is always "why do you think you are being targeted?"

I completely agree with you that cybersecurity in the government is just as bad if not worse than the private sector. My opinion is based on some of the news stories I have seen along with a few audit reports I have read.

Neal the fact that coming off the meds is even ap option is such such a huge news break. I'm so so so glad to have our paths cross and you continue to inspire. Keep up that positive attitude and let's win this battle for good

Hello neal i hope this massage finds you will i appreciate everything you do to help us in the community. I send this to you because i want to know if you can help me get a job related to cyber security for 1000 - 2000 $ a month to support my ill mother and to be able to continue my studies while improving my technical skills. if you know someone who needs a helping hand in his team send to me and i will do everything i can to excel at the job i got the spark to learn and the grit to endure hardship and the ability to improve by leaps and bounds and im sure i will be able to deliver a satisfactory results. if you want my resume and videochat with me i will be ready to talk anytime you want to get to know each other better. Thanks alot for reading my message neal.

I need a job not a cert 😂

The hunt for a SOC role continues! This has been very insightful. Very motivational.

I work on a soc and that sounds very much like my day to day mindset on most days. Guiding and advising Developers is a big part too!! so many developers don't know or understanding how the OS works and ask for some absurd things to be pypassed, excluded, allowed.

Nice session 😊

Had a great session, thanks for inviting me!

That first intro song is a BANGER!!!

AZ-900 great foundational and affordable cert. Go up from there

if GRC is an entry level cybersecurity then why do they get paid more than many SOC analysts? GRC works along side executive manage

Thanks, Im convinced now, going to sign up. I’m studying CISSP but I think this will be also great on my resume.

How are you Neal. All best Wishes 💪

Not true, AI is taking jobs of people who can’t do anything to stop economic growth and just so happened to get pushed out of work and fired. You can’t beat AI when it comes down to efficiency and speed it’ll always push humans out of

Said it Perfectly 😂
