I do like his 'cadence' throughout the interview - he's done these things a few times before. Also, the interviewer is always on point and well researched- the combo makes for a fantastically juicy educational many minutes I've not minded giving up. , You know, like, sometimes you walk away to use the urinal (you all do get outta your chairs to use the washroom - in the washroom right?)..pivot ...kicking the chair outta the way, basking in your strength and skills - except for the actual getting up part where a big grunt and groan assisted plenty to complete the task- anyway, as you pinch that bladder so to not dribble prior to engaging your target 🎯 at least the rim of the toilet recollecting upon your past moments of life. There's a very high percentage, historically where you'd scolded yourself for wasting those precious seconds, minutes, hours....this time... Different...their chemistry purculates nicely, letting off a sweet aroma...can you smell it? Like a fresh ground/ pressed cup of your favorite coffee beans. Their oils bursting into the air, the molecules catching a ride on the atoms of the many other chemicals- oxygen,hydrogen, some carbon...some dioxides...free loaders hitchhiking their ways into your flared nostrils 👃 awaiting invitingly the plethora of pleasantries..you let out a breath so to make room for another hit of that intoxicating marvelous bold sweet woody aroma. A brief moment your eyes shut- lasting yet not long enough. You are in eternal bliss for that second or two. Time well spent/not wasted.

[@ryanziller220]

Simon Sims did great work. The hardest part about overcoming plateaus is related to repurposing the energies which are required for the development of new strategies and not overworking the same patterns of behavior. It is probably best to find a way to take less from the same resource while considering other skills which can improve the likelihood of breaking from poorer behaviors.

Thanks for this David, I am 30 years old and really enjoy videos like this. I am trying to get into bug bounties, and break into the ethical hacking field. I have no experience in tech, but am willing to go all in and learn this stuff, as it’s very interesting and I’m in need of a career switch, any advice or words from you would be much appreciated! Your content has truly inspired me to believe this is possible for me!

[@RorschachRev]

with zero experience you should get some sysadnin certificate for Linux. It will teach you more about file systems, networking, services, etc than you would ever learn other ways. Writing certifications and training materials, I had to become more well rounded. I used to say in my classes, "Miyamoto Musashi was probably the greatest swordsman to ever live. He was asked about the secret to becoming a great swordsman and he replied it is not 1 thing, but 1000 things. Being a great sysadmin is knowing not 1 thing but 1000 things. Being great at security is knowing 1000 things about 1000 things." Decompiling like this video suggests requires programming skills that are super advanced, it is knowing 1000 things about 100 things.

[@georgejones5019]

I'm 31, and I just started in IT about 4 years ago. It's a lot, and you have to keep learning.

[@k_usuan]

How do you get into the sys adm . Can a comptia a + or sec get me in ?

[@RorschachRev]

@@k_usuan comptia sort of works if you want into sysadmin. you should make a full network and practice sharing files between Linux and windows. do it the windows way, windows host and the Linux way, with cifs and possibly nfs. set up a WAMP and a LAMP machine, (or use nginx) then attack the systems. Apply as a Jr network admin, work towards a bigger cert while you apply. You could volunteer at places 10 hours a month so you apply "with experience." I made six figure income as a network admin.

And, whatever the technology available; is it not (as always) the willingness, funds and determination to do "bad" (bad in "" as also this is a matter of definition and circumstance..) that is the driving factor?

[@dembasoumare4448]

I asked chatgpt and that's what I got 1:19:29 : When choosing a laptop for cybersecurity, it's essential to look for features that support performance, portability, and flexibility, as you’ll likely be running virtual machines (VMs), performing network analysis, and perhaps doing some light coding or compiling. Here are some of the best options for cybersecurity students: 1. Dell XPS 15 or XPS 13 Specs: Intel Core i7 or i9, 16-32GB RAM, 512GB-1TB SSD Pros: Excellent display, great battery life, lightweight, strong performance. Why it's good: It’s powerful enough for virtual machines, and the build quality is excellent for a daily driver. 2. Apple MacBook Pro (14" or 16") Specs: Apple M1/M2 Pro or Max, 16GB+ RAM, 512GB+ SSD Pros: Exceptional battery life, high-quality display, good ecosystem for UNIX-based tools (with macOS being UNIX-like). Why it's good: Many cybersecurity tools work well on macOS, and it can run multiple VMs smoothly. 3. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon or T14 Specs: Intel Core i5/i7 or AMD Ryzen, 16-32GB RAM, 512GB-1TB SSD Pros: Excellent keyboard, durable build, Linux-friendly, great for heavy multitasking. Why it’s good: ThinkPads are reliable, and Lenovo models have great compatibility with Linux if you choose to dual-boot or run Linux natively. 4. ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 or G15 (Gaming Laptop) Specs: AMD Ryzen 9, NVIDIA GeForce GTX/RTX, 16GB+ RAM, 1TB SSD Pros: High-performance CPU and GPU, good cooling system, decent portability for a gaming laptop. Why it’s good: Great for running multiple VMs and GPU-intensive tasks, plus it’s generally well-built and fast. 5. Framework Laptop (12th Gen Intel) Specs: Intel Core i7/i5, 16-32GB RAM, customizable SSD Pros: Highly modular and upgradeable, Linux-compatible, excellent for hands-on hardware tinkering. Why it’s good: Perfect if you want a highly customizable and repairable laptop that can grow with you. 6. HP Spectre x360 or Elite Dragonfly Specs: Intel Core i7, 16GB+ RAM, 512GB SSD Pros: Stylish design, convertible, good battery life, solid performance. Why it’s good: Offers good power and portability, and the HP Elite series is often used in business environments, which might help with familiarity. Key Features to Consider RAM: At least 16GB; 32GB is ideal if you plan on running multiple virtual machines simultaneously. Storage: SSD with at least 512GB, but 1TB is better if your budget allows. Processor: Intel i7 or higher, or AMD Ryzen 7 or higher, for handling multitasking and VMs. Portability: Since you might take this laptop to classes or labs, weight and battery life are factors to consider. Linux Compatibility: Many cybersecurity tools are built for Linux, so compatibility can be useful. If you're on a budget, you might also look into refurbished models, especially high-end business laptops like older ThinkPads or Dell Latitudes, as they often offer good performance at a reduced price. Let me know if you want more on any specific laptop!

[@Bitcoin1y]

Yes, there are several open-source AI models similar to ChatGPT that you can download and run locally. Here are some notable ones: 1. GPT-NeoX (EleutherAI) Description: GPT-NeoX is an open-source project by EleutherAI, which provides a powerful GPT-based language model you can run locally. It is designed for research and is one of the closest alternatives to OpenAI’s GPT models. Installation: Requires a strong hardware setup, as these models are large and resource-intensive. You can use GPUs for inference or train your own model. Link: GPT-NeoX 2. GPT-J (EleutherAI) Description: Another model from EleutherAI, GPT-J is a smaller, more lightweight version of GPT-NeoX and can be used for various text generation tasks. Installation: Easier to run locally than GPT-NeoX due to its smaller size. However, it still requires a good amount of computing power. Link: GPT-J 3. LLaMA (Meta) Description: LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI) is an open-source project by Meta. It’s lighter and efficient in comparison to many other models but can deliver competitive performance. Installation: LLaMA is optimized to run even on consumer-level hardware like a high-end PC, though having a GPU helps. Link: Not officially available for direct download, but models can be found on the web with appropriate research. 4. Alpaca (Stanford) Description: Built using Meta’s LLaMA as a base, Alpaca is fine-tuned for instruction-following tasks and designed to be a cheaper alternative to training models like ChatGPT. Installation: Works well on consumer hardware, especially with lower-end versions of the model. Link: Alpaca GitHub 5. BLOOM (BigScience) Description: BLOOM is an open-source, multilingual model developed by the BigScience initiative. It is designed for text generation in a variety of languages. Installation: Like other large language models, it requires significant computing resources, but there are smaller versions that can be run on local machines. Link: BLOOM 6. Dolly (Databricks) Description: Dolly is an open-source chatbot model similar to ChatGPT, and it was developed with cost-effective fine-tuning in mind. Installation: This model can be trained and used on relatively small hardware setups. Link: Dolly GitHub Requirements for Running Locally To run these models locally, you'll need: Hardware: A powerful CPU or a GPU (NVIDIA CUDA support is common). RAM: 16GB+ RAM is recommended for smaller models, with 32GB or more for larger ones. Python environment: Most of these models require Python, along with specific libraries such as PyTorch or TensorFlow. Setup: Most installations are done through GitHub repos, and you may need to install dependencies (like pip or conda).

Excellent video! and yep gaming is a HUGE time sink, wasted so much time on just one specific game and calculated the total hours, it was like i sat in the chair for 27 days straight , never doing that again. Thank you for this video, it has shifted my focus.

This video is so ADHD ❤ Respect.

[@ilyosbeknajmiddinov6754]

hello David, could you make content about undergraduate or postgraduate computing related courses like computer science, cybersecurity, could computing etc.. Are they really useful pros and cons. Differences between undergraduate courses and degree apprenticeships. Because, nowadays, students are paying crazy amount of money to universities especially foreign students and is it worth it ?. Personally I'm currently studying in London, at UEL.

[@Xiy114]

I think this was a good video with good content. The problem is who has $8,000 to $10,000 dollars to be able to take a Sans course?

Zerodium reminds me of when Kevin Mitnik was there and how he refused to tell an interviewer about some zero-day exploits😂..

[@Firmth]

Why am i listening to an author who references the ross ulbright story, the well known story of how they created a distraction to get him to step away from his laptop, possibly the most famous dark web figure of all time, but doesnt have the name or the details

[@wewillrise3663]

if that's easy then other more experienced hackers have done it already....if the bounties are still there maybe their too hard for the average mr robot

[@Sandeep-c3c4j]

Some malware, spy app and virus is difficult to remove even after factory reset phone they came automatically don't know how I am in problem please help me . Not possible to change phone hard-disk

[@chocolate91]

Great information, but what is not being said is that it takes a team to of cyber engineers to reverse engineer, write the exploits and chain them for those high paid bounties. Each team member has a speciality of b reversing Mobile, OS, Network, etc.. and building a custom fuzzer and writing the exploits. Those bounties are not usually paid out to a single invidual doing all of the work, but to teams and companies that have multiple engineer that specialize in those areas.

Man if he has to live in a small apartment and have his computer in his living room along with everything else, and he spent that amount of time learning I think this is the wrong business to get into😅

[@kboutdoors4599]

Having money is different from flaunting money. There are several millionaires that drive a regular pick up truck wear work boots and a pair of jeans. You’d never know. For a lot of them that’s their way of public privacy, see if you don’t know what they have bc they never show it then you are less likely to try and sue them for something if you assume they have nothing worth taking🤷🏼‍♂️ that’s the point.
