2025 Ethical Hacker Roadmap with lots of free training (NOT Sponsored)

[@davidbombal]

This video is NOT sponsored by TCM Security and I DO NOT get any affiliate commission if you use the links in the video description to buy courses etc from TCM. Also, in the interest of transparency: Heath mentions in the video and in the linked article that references to TCM Security are marked as self-promotion. I love it that Heath is providing so much free training and low cost training to the community. Heath is very well known and respected in the cybersecurity community. I love that he is making so much content available for free via his KZbin channel and on his website. Watch his content on KZbin, take the free courses and also do you own research and make your own decisions about the training and references he mentions. There are so many options out there for free training - see my other videos for options like free training from Cisco and other providers. // Article / Blog REFERENCE // How to be an Ethical Hacker in 2025: tcm-sec.com/how-to-be-an-ethical-hacker-in-2025/ // KZbin Video REFERENCE // Real World Windows Pentest Tutorial (Demos of 5 Active Directory Hacks): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKS2aIl_ic6IjtE Hacking Roadmap to Success: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZOaY6aAd6ZolcU // TCM Security SOCIAL// KZbin (The Cyber Mentor): kzbin.info LinkedIn : www.linkedin.com/company/tcm-security-inc/ Twitter : twitter.com/TCMSecurity Discord: discord.com/invite/tcm Instagram: instagram.com/tcmsecurity/ Facebook: facebook.com/tcmsecure/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@tcmsecurity Academy Website: academy.tcm-sec.com/ TCM Certifications: certifications.tcm-sec.com/ Discord: discord.com/invite/tcm Website: tcm-sec.com/ Breach Point Website: breachpoint.com/ // Heath Adam’s SOCIAL // LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/heathadams/ // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb X: twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal KZbin: www.youtube.com/@davidbombal // MY STUFF // www.amazon.com/shop/davidbombal // SPONSORS // Interested in sponsoring my videos?

Perfect time of posting. TYSM david and heath.

[@davidbombal]

You're welcome!

[@TheOneAndOnlyNomad]

Who complains about you interrupting David? I prefer you asking questions as it gives us more knowledge. Also, it's a conversation not just a presentation. Keep doing what you do! Best channel on KZbin for I.T!

[@ATR-rw5ie]

Two of my biggest sources of inspirations in one video-what a perfect way to kick off the new year. Thank you, David!

[@davidbombal]

Happy new year! And you're welcome!

Great to see Heath on the channel! He just reminded me I need to go finish his courses 😅

[@davidbombal]

You should! 😀

[@anonyghost7422]

Thanks David! I'm starting a degree program this week and I was happy to see that the foundation classes in the beginning of this video are part of my curriculum this year - Christine

[@SimonJones49]

I have no work in 2025 at the moment, so this is a way to keep my mind working and learn something new as well. Thank you for all the work putting this together.

Cool! Quick question: Is there a vm simulation that looks like a system to ethically hack the system?

[@jamilshekinski]

Thank you David. Great video!

[@nathanielmoore87]

Fantastic roadmap!! My issue is I have shiny object syndrome. I tend to jump around a lot. In the past year, I've gone from cloud to AI to CANbus to hardware and back again. If only I could download the internet to my brain Matrix style. 😂

[@codingwithebooks]

If i remember correctly David told us a long time ago about fundamental pillars of knowledge. The same concept like Heath is talking about now, just a little different :) Hi Heath if you read this, i follow you since 2015 :D

[@kuto1269]

The company never sent me my product or refund. They keep deflecting when I email them. Not a penny has been deposited into my bank account. Blatant theft

[@GravityFallz-x2b]

If you add a little to a little, and do this often, soon it will become Great. Thanks David

[@I_Am_D_One]

Nice one Dave 👍.

[@davidbombal]

I hope the video helps you!

[@atharvakulthe3853]

Sir, in your previous video on "Learn Hacking in 2025," you mentioned a free course. Could you please let me know how long that course will remain valid for free?

[@deathbestowerx2577]

I'm not sure why, but in previous videos I was getting a lot less commercials. Awesome video though as usual.

[@razex619]

I recently enrolled in a CCIE Security course, starting from scratch with CCNA and CCNP as the foundation. While I have a strong interest in cybersecurity, I'm feeling a bit confused because I can't manage both simultaneously. Could you advise me on what to do?

[@VirtualRom1]

Sir please make a seperate video for compiling net hunter kernel ,we have lot of problems with that, please ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ My device_one plus 5T

[@dave24-73]

I went straight to his site, and enrolled in the free courses, had to use Chrome to get it to work, but now partway in.

[@davidbombal]

I hope you learn a lot! Great that the training is free 😀

[@manimuthu3287]

TCM Security courses are really valuable and provides hands on Training even for Beginners which is very awesome. I am also waiting for your review about HTB academy courses(like CPTS, CBBH, etc), they also providing very quality contents and I love their platform too.

[@Hacker_Traing]

[@davidlu1003]

It is just like you read a thick book with more than 1000 pages, you cannot accomplish the reading in just one second, you have to keep going.😁😁😁
