Thank you Muzamil for presenting people with actual knowledge of technology and cyber security. I have seen random people becoming self claimed cyber security experts with zero information about the background working of computer systems. That's the issue we have only bug bounty hunters who are busy in running system built utilities and changing parameters as he said, that doesn't make someone a hacker or security researcher. Happy to see talent like him in Pakistan.

[@nazirabaz1580]

I think, he is truly a gem. Happy to see such talented from our Pakistan. Good luck and Cheers.

[@AtiqueWaghani]

Uber insightful! We need more guys like him. Cyber Security is definitely something we need to be prepared for as a nation. Good thing is that we have our agencies already having top hackers at their disposal and now more than ever, we have Chinese helping us fill the gaps in our defence and cyber warfare. Pakistan must take advantage of this opportunity and create a cyber army on the Israeli model.

[@malix55]

yes , the israeli's have been recruiting cyber army as young as 16 year old

[@sanatandharma8837]

Typical Pakistani..always asking for someone's help.hahah

[@AtiqueWaghani]

@@sanatandharma8837 India had received help from USA and Russia so don’t try to be over smart here.

[@sanatandharma8837]

@@AtiqueWaghani Nope we study and workhard ,We dont ask for freebies like you guy just commenetd Lmaoo

[@AtiqueWaghani]

@@sanatandharma8837 And we don’t lie like you. Go and read some history first and then come to troll. Every country is dependent on one another in this day and age. That’s called collaboration and tech transfer. I don’t think I have time to school you anymore on that. I let the people decide who is talking sense here.

[@aqibbng]

Aitezaz is an amazing guy with tremendous knowledge in his field. Hope to see him more successful in times to come. Great podcast 👏

[@DeadRaw1]

I'm fsc student and I hardly understand 30% talk but unable to figure out that names associated with particular tasks that were happening. Mind blowing information. Thanks Sir 💗

[@ahsanmahmood7013]

[@nilofer60]

Extremely insightful podcast. Learnt so much from him. Wishing him all the very best in the future, and thank you, Muzammil, for inviting him here.

[@ahsantahir6624]

Being a student of mechatronics engineering and no history of hacking this still got me hooked for the whole hour. Superb!

Aitezaz is a Gem of a guy with tremendous knowledge of Cyber Security. Hope to see him more successful in times to come. Our government is so unfortunate that it can't provide opportunities to talent like him which leads talent like him to go abroad and provide their services overseas. I also hope that he might do something for the youth to come and grow in this field also want him to build secure systems for our country. Great podcast

[@muhammad-arsalan]

[@ahmedbilal1831]

My favorite podcast. I would love to see an ethical hacking course from his side which can give preparatory knowledge to all aspiring ethical hackers. I hope he considers it. ALLAH kamyab kary

Super amazing informative

[@Sheikhazeemsh]

Mere 2 saal ka Cybersecurity Experience safal Har aik baat samjh aee hai… ❤️ From Belgium

[@binehsan4334]

Bro What do you suggest me to start doing right now if i want to pursue Cyber Security. Right now I'm in 1st Semester of BSCS

[@Sheikhazeemsh]

Sabse pehle you need to understand whoever is in Cybersecurity is not necessarily a hacker. You need to start somewhere, so search for courses which can land you in a Cybersecurity Incident Analyst role. You dont need to be in offensive Cybersecurity to be in that role. From there you can decide that either you become part of a red or blue team. Jab pata chal jaye k offensive khelna hai ya defensive phir agay samunder hai k networks, on prem infra ya cloud ko secure ya hack karna hai Just for context im not in offensive but rather defensive security cloud technologies working with soc teams Best of luck

[@binehsan4334]

Thankyou. And another question is that due to some reason I'll transter my university campus and so i have a chance to transfer my BSCS program to BS CYS. What should i do?

[@Sheikhazeemsh]

In these days degree is nothing... You just need to have the skills... If you get Comptia Sec+ that is better than your degree. But of course focus on the languages you would learn. python, C, Java are your friend but that is only if you will be making a tool in the future. Most of my colleagues rely or Siem Soar solution with a knowledge of Kusto query language and you can land a good job in a respected SOC. Nobody cares how good you were in school just focus on the skills you need in real life.

[@Sheikhazeemsh]

For exampke no degree will tell you how to read logs in Splunk or Azure Sentinel 😂

[@showkatpakhtoon3562]

Love your work ♥️😃

[@mystree.storee]

Hello This is Sarah. I love your podcast have been listening to it for the last 2 days. I've always felt that informational shows have missing from media for a long time and your show has filled the gap in a very profound way. I had guest request for you. Please invite Hassan khan Niazi to your show. He will be a great fit and amazing guest. Would really love to have a response on this message. Best Wishes! Sarah Abubakr.

[@AH-by4zz]

What does he do?

[@chumar7923]

Thank u muzamil

[@ahmedaliz999]

This guy is really inspiring, his story is Somehow similar with my offsec journey, I also belong to a less privileged area (interior sindh), my family moved to Karachi back 2007, I Got my first computer Pentium 3 in 2006 and started with defacing sites back in 2008 and 2009 when I was in 9th class, Launched spear phishing attacks on my friends 😜, to know their secrets. Reversed windows 7 Update binary when I was in Intermediate, Also, At that time I was a hawker in my area, morning Hawker , night Hacker, Then I got seriously ill, for 2 years, my illness ended with a Chest surgery, this incident traumatized me for 2 years, But back in 2017, I started to get back to the track, and now I'm a renowned Offensive security consultant in Karachi, working for a multinational corporation.

[@thecultofdeadcow]

Wow... That's an amazing story but felt sorry for your illness may be Allah had put some blessings in that.

[@thecultofdeadcow]

The above guy is my far relative and i am very inspired by such ideals. And now u r one of my ideals too.

[@thecultofdeadcow]

Just wanted to know how to get into CTF or this bug bounty culture. I know about the content generally but don't know where to get start .

[@thecultofdeadcow]

Can u make a playlist on getting into Cybersec. Or Offsec. I saved some of ur playlists too

[@osamazaheer6430]

Excellent

[@syedkhalid970]

wow from Hango Mashallah super cool to know that

[@ali2naveed]

[@yasirmehmood7269]

maza agaya...

[@tlixio]

fantastic Podcast, before this I only knew about Rafay.

[@trusttech166]

Okay so the guest pointed out that bug bounty hunting etc is not the way forward, so then what is. If a new guy wants to start where would he start, whom to connect with and like I said what's the way forward, what to do and how. Please do ask such questions too so that talented guy's out there can seek guidance and atleast take their first step on that track.

[@TheHersheyCompany]

Make OSCP certification your main aim thats what he says on his posts at LinkedIn

[@ghafoorkhan8322]

Great mind ....

[@sohailanwar8361]

With due respect, the concept of 'system security' came a long ago before the internet & computer. In the early stages of wireless transmission things like intercept & decode were there. With the invention of computer & then world wide web, the concept of cyber security studies got more established.

[@codewithovi997]

Yeah first worm virus is known as Morris worm that was probably in 1988 when he destroyed much part of the internet.

[@SaadiBabar]

Eitzaz mohsin is highly respectable in the limited pakistan's cyber security community. He is the only OSEE certificate holder in Pakistan. in simple terms it means, this guy can hack your system,server,iot and you will have no idea that he is there and he can see and do on that system whatever you can see and do :-D
