It's the kit I pretty much dreamt of when I was about 20 and learning the ropes on becoming a IT professional. 20 odd years later and with a Masters Degree in Computer Science, with a few modules focused on Cyber Security, I'm still fascinated by the gear that goes into a Hackers tool box and subtly reminded how dedicated they are on keeping skills fresh and gear impressively up-to-date.

[@antoniomurillocrespo8025]

@Tetrazole although I get what you mean you need access to the software which in the end is ether internet conexion or a hard drive to store all of those programs, he probably has all the programs and scripts to do that but having always the hardware near you can be helpfull and faster if you are working instead of doing something with malicious intent. I see this more of a 'just in case' and 'fast use backpack'

[@albertma4875]

Is a major in Computer Science and a specialty in Networking count as a module in Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is a new thing. Things are added to the list of nieches every year.

[@HiroNewf]

@Tetrazole These tools are for physical penetration testing of course which is a lot different from digital penetration testing (which is a lot more common). There are certain companies that desire to have physical penetration testing done and while the principles are similar across all types of penetration testing, how things actually get done is a lot different and it is really is two completely different skill sets and jobs for sure.

[@HiroNewf]

@Tetrazole Some of them have their uses but I do agree that most of them are probably not needed yeah. They are cool things to mess around with and learn from, but I do doubt they many of them are used often in real life penetration tests, certainly not enough to justify having them as edc.

[@MyChannel00888]

This is actually the only "hacker tech bag" that actually looks smells and feels like a hacking tech bag, i salute you, my fellow man of culture !

[@gunraptor]

I'm not even professionally involved with any security-type stuff anymore, but I LOVED this video. I would love seeing you go through various pieces of gear, and demonstrating use cases and basic-through-advanced applications for each tool presented. You have a surprisingly professional presence on screen, and you project a certain degree of authority through obvious competence and knowledge. If you were to expand your channel and dive deeper into hacking using your tools, I would be a regular viewer. It's not just the subject matter that captured my attention while watching this video, but your level of comfort and familiarity with each tool and its use. Not to mention, your general videography skills were more than one might expect for a small channel. You have quite a lot of potential here, with the added benefit of being able to educate people on your field, and the value of your profession.

[@emotionz3]

20 years ago when I first started in IT I carried a lot of stuff. Spare parts, tools, cd case, lots of electronic bits (caps, resistors, full solder kit) but now I carry a few USB flash drives, an ifixit kit, and a smartphone XD

[@scottluebke5012]

Same. Thought I needed to carry so much. Then realized I never touched 90% of it and cut way back. If I need something, I go to the car and get it.

[@ClemMorton]

Yup. - Laptop - Smartphone - Battery bank - Couple Cables - Couple USB. The "Hacker Specific" devices like most of his kit, are added weight and can be retrieved from storage or setup and used when needed. They don't need to be carried around for EDC use. It's kinda "over compensation" to try and plan for every situation, and it makes you more reliant on gadgets.

[@ansrikri]

Why does this feel more practical and realistic than other youtuber’s “techbag”

[@mikerentiers]

you can tell most everything he pulled out was well worn. It's clearly stuff you/we/he would use. Other videos are selling something or variety channels that don't specialize, IMO. Was a fun watch

[@whatabouttheearth]

It's an EDC (Every Day Carry) so its supposed to be practical and what you have every day. I know a thing or two about picks and I think his lock pics are a bit much for EDC my EDC always has a sweater, pocket knife, wallet, cell phone, headlamp and beanie, pens, notepad, Aukey 20000 mAh battery, headphones, sometimes iPad Pro (actually PRACTICAL). But, I would seem lame doing videos 😄

[@Me__Myself__and__I]

I've never seen this guy before, so I don't know what kind of "hacker" he is. But this stuff would not be practical or useful for most people / purposes. I suspect he does some rather specialized stuff.

[@Me__Myself__and__I]

@CLC Yeah. After further review I'd guess he works as a consultant being hired by companies to test on-site security. Its the only reason you'd need most of that gear. Compared to an off-site hacker testing remote vulnerabilities which would mostly be about computers and software hacking tools.

[@lmaoroflcopter]

@CLC I think it's legitimate though unlike many KZbin techbros. It's clearly used. I carry similar kit to this on jobs but I compartmentalise it and carry what I need for that specific job, wouldn't dream carting what he carries around to every job. Key piece of kit he didn't seem to have, but is essential kit for any UK penetration tester who spends hours in DCs... A camping chair and a tiny stealth camping stool. The first for actual comfort, the second for when Sungard, or whomever deem your camping chair a H&S risk and confiscate the chair while you're on site, then you find a rack door to hide behind and deploy your little stool.

[@Philter-Coffee]

on the note of soldering irons, you can get handheld self contained gas powered versions with a crazy about of tips (from hot cutting tips to the creative wood burning stuff) and they work really well! i found my electric iron wouldn't heat enough to consistently melt solder when outside if it was pretty cold, so not only did it fix the cold issue, but meant i don't need to worry about packing cables. As a cherry on top it added a crap ton of extra tools to my toolbox with all the tips available, while still taking up less space than a wall powered iron when counting the cable as well. mine is by the dremel brand but there are way more out there.

Fellow cyber security professional here nice to see your kit, actual useful kit too not just some arse playing hackerman. 10 years in and after learning that heavy gear just breaks backpacks and my back, I pack for the job these days. Just like your organiser bags, I use bubm packing cubes and canvas zippable toolbags to split my kit appropriately. Agreed on the Ethernet cable, moving to extendable cables and straight through couplers was game changing, beats untangling a mess of 3m patch cables at the bottom of your bag. Oooh that oscilloscope looks interesting. Tip on the camera front, that is a beautiful camera you have there, but consider picking up something like a canon powershot superzoom compact. I used to rock an SLR on jobs but it was hardly covert. The powershot however is just as at home long lensing the WiFi password through an office window from 300 metres away or discretely palmed in your hand used to video at a high frame rate an office entrance on a walk by for later frame by frame review. Oh and the shark jack... I absolutely love using mine just for bypassing DLP. Mine runs a fairly simple payload, just runs up a dhcp server, SMB, NFS, ftp, http (with PHP upload script). Plug it into a host and use the "Captive portal/hotspot" option for bypassing enforced VPN connections. Bam you've got access to all the tools you need and can get your screenshots off of the target rig for evidence. :)

Swissgear makes great backpacks for IT travelers, and I highly recommend the Executive 5700 series. They're a fantastic deal for under $80 for most. I've carried mine for over 6 years, and gave away a similar 5-year old model 3900 series Swissgear to a young tech in need before I got my current pack. Perfect for EDC and big enough to travel across country as a carry-on flight bag. The quality of fabrication is unmatched by bags in the $50-100 dollar range. The straps & steel reinforced carry handle allows these bags to hold up to 50lbs if needed, or nearly empty like you pack your daily Hacker bag. Your Doomsday Database is a great idea (I have a 3Tb too), but I recommend you store & carry it in at least one Mylar ziplock bag (two is best) to protect from moisture as well as potential EMP electrical interference. Yes, you can get through TSA with your external HD in Mylar (so long as it's not energized). Replace the Anker battery with a solar supplemented equivalent, like the PowerPort series, or smaller 1500MAhr can be had for under $35. For your laptop, do yourself a HUGE FAVOR, and get a padded Sleeve. Target Bex sleeves can be had for very little. Your Hak5 kit is flawless, with all the usual suspects.

I like that you carry a Spyderco. Granted, everyone and their grandmother does, but they're still great knives and they're made in my home town

[@hakurei06]

This advice is mostly about weight reduction rather than improvements in functionality, but I'd recommend a pinecil over a ts100 for the usb-c port (while still taking dc5525) and anker's got a 65w usb charger that's really small for the output, though it is a wall wart style power supply. aside from that, a small 3 outlet powerstrip and a 3-2 prong adapter, i guess. nothing really game changing.

[@popvotocek]

Could you please further explain how you use the oscilloscope as a cybersecurity expert? I would be very interested in that. Nice video!

[@haxboi5492]

Maybe some hardware hacking but that's just a guess

[@danielwilliams9905]

Full of useful stuff. I had to split my kits up based on tasks, but the daily (also an Ogio) has a lot of this stuff in it. I would caution anyone out there who doesn't have at least a business card for a pen-testing outfit on you at all times: in several states your picks could be confiscated, and you could be charged with possession of burglary tools if you just roll around with them on you. I prefer the Sparrow tuxedo set. I really like the gear in his HAk5 pouch.

Another addition would be a small but strong neodymium magnet. Perfect for magswitch lock systems.

[@ravenbarsrepairs5594]

My only problem is the price on the Hak5 goodies, as well as I'm in a totally different industry to justify them. I do have a handful of Arduino Pro Micro's on the way for a macro keyboard project. Might try making a rubber ducky clone. Littering a parking lot with Rubber Duckys gets expensive at $50/ea. Making your own for under $5 makes for a more usable tool.

Would have liked to see you go deeper into your hak5 toolkit lots of goodies in there. Are you sort of like an independent pen tester contractor or something? Seems like you have about 3 jobs based on this toolkit. I’ve never seen a security eng carry an oscilloscope on them 😂. Based on those tools and the ifixit kit I’d say you were an electronics guy. You said you’re in a data center a lot that’s funny I actually revoked access to our security team because they kept plugging their stuff into the core network switches lol. I guess corporate IT is maybe a bit different than contractors i suppose. If I had to guess I’d say you do a lot of physical penetration testing and WiFi cracking. Cool video though! I bet that backpack weighs a ton 😁.

[@givdb5513]

He can't hack any company like Mr. Robot because the weight of backpack doesn't allow his physical ability to walk. By the way what is he trying to do? Instead of hacking windows password with a pendrive like everyone do he will open the cpu and reset the clock, reset the bios and reassemble whatever necessary components, in the machine.

[@efahrenholz]

@@givdb5513 what the actual hell are you talking about? How does resetting the "clock" let you into a windows installation? The pentesting software allows for booting into a Linux environment with ntfs-3g running in fstab, so he can browse the windows partition and brute force the login credentials.

And not a single USB-to-RJ45 or DB9 serial console cable... Do you really combine that usb hub with your coiled cat 6 to console into firewalls, routers, and switches? Do you not have a command cheat sheet for various manufacturer CLIs? Also no gloves, headlamp, snacks, or caffeine pills? We must do very different kinds of security work, haha. What are your thoughts on a Raspberry Pi 4b 8GB? I have found my Zero Wireless to be effectively useless for all my needs.
