Hello, I know you are a professional. My question is which of these 5 operating systems is more suitable for hacking for money BackBox . blackarch. kali. parrot. and Cyborg Hawk Of course, I do not know Linux and hacking at all I just want to start I like to start with blackarch or backbox, what do you think, which of these 5 should I start with?
The common problem for others is also the location many people here in the Philippines has the drive and passion but the companies here is just super high standards even a Help Desk job here in the PH is not an entry level job it says Entry Level but need 3-5yrs of experience to get in. Also most HR wont even give you a chance to talk to hear our hunger and the love for tech they just swipe right, Sad reality here...
"Sometimes the failure is what teaches us the most lessons" Loved this right now. I've worked 5 years right now at my job and was denied a promotion to Applications Engineer because my firm did what was "best for the firm" and hired someone else outside the company. They felt I wouldn't learn the job in less than 2 years. I've been locked in and more motivated than ever these past two and half months. Passed my Core 1 and Core 2 A+ exams in 2 months and working already on my Network+. Scheduled for another month a half. Then on to Security+. On schedule to have my trifecta in 6 months from being denied. 6 months after that hope to have my PenTest+ along with others. I've been studying non-stop before, during lunch, and after work included all day Saturday and Sundays. This line really hit home when I heard it. Determined to show everybody what I'm really capable of.
a big thank you to juniper for this & to david for bringing this to us. educating people is one of the best things someone can do, huge shoutout to everyone involved in making this happen
I understand the daily reading requirements. But comprehending what you're reading is more important than covering x number of pages. And that's where I run into trouble. I can read, re-read, and re-re-read and still not have comprehended it. I learn by lectures & labs. I guess you have to go with what works for you. Thanks for posting David, & Stefan. This was (as usual) a great episode.
Very true & totally agree with you. As to encourage all LifeLongLearners who might happen to read this, would like to share my learning experience. We can improve in our learning by practising on our weaker part so as to increase our speed in learning new stuff. For example, attend a class first or go thru David's youtube video first, do the Labs & then go back to the books to see how they explain the same concepts. Then create your own notes and teach someone else. It will take away much more time when I first did this but in the long run, I pick up new technologies and skills much faster than my average peers. Just my 2cents back. HTH somebody😊
Love this @davidbombal. Even if you're not speaking directly to me. I hear you. I've never been a great test taker. Never got validation in a classroom. But, I will go for it.
Hello sir, I'm from Bihar,India. I found your channel yesterday and i am learning. And started with installation of kali in my lappy to the cracking wifi password. Love you Bombal sirrrr❤❤
Ive finished my prereq's for Nursing, I have been on the waiting list for years to get into The CA. State College Nursing Program. I was called into program although you have to be Covid vaxxed. I've also gone through program to become a Surgical Asst. Im done! In the State of CA. They want you vaxxed(covid vaxx). Im done! I thank you so much for your info. Im on a journey search and I will open these new doors of this new World, AI, Data Science. Im 53 yrs old but age is a number, Im excited for new adventures & I love to be challenged! Bless you all and good luck in your growth.
Just a note, college does have it benefits: a) most of applications are automated which discards automatically non-graduates b) college is for networking: people hire people c) ROI is not only expressed in money but college is a time for you to grow in other ways
Was about to say this, props for elaborating. College makes you network with people and your other skills. Remember you are not only hired bec of your hard skill, you soft skills is a deal breaker. No one wants to work with just skilled personnel thats hard to communicate with.
@@THEARPE07 keeping up to date is your own responsibility, not the college's. Colleges equip you with the fundamentals. Once you graduate and enter the workforce, you have to consistently upgrade yourself via courses.
Great inspiration 👏. Thank you David and Stephen. I just completed my second year of IT and am still excited to learn! Currently finishing up my studies for network+.

Thanks to All the Great Teachers in my Life who gave me HOPE - especially the first that impressed upon me that Education goes beyond the classroom and schooling years. All of a sudden I told myself I WILL BE there even if it were to take me double, tripple, or however much more the time to do it. Importantly is to follow your passion and enjoy your Learning experience. Of course there will be time we need to bring food to the family table and slow down or halt our learning process or switch path but have passion & joy in whatever new things you learn & remember to teach somebody else so that we spread the same Joy and make life better for everyone else. That again I have to Thanks & Salute you both again & again! 👍👍👍👍👍 Truly yours, LifeLongLearner Ps: My path is definitely longer & further to go but I am still learning new things & passing the skill & knoewledge to others. Don't think I will ever stop.
From my own personal experience to continue my education in the complex works of computing, you are never too old to learn new techniques and concepts in technology
Wow! This inspired me, Since I left secondary school I went into a web development certification & currently working as a web developer; and now I just finished my CEHv13 and I am looking forward to OSCP certification. My ethical hacking journey just started after being inspired by this channel and others. Thanks Sir David...
@@pokufan55 Well in my country, there is a vocational training course (Diploma of Vocational Training) that's what I took for about nine months, then I had to continue on my own from there by taking up real projects to do personally & via freelancing. My experience came about because of these projects I engaged into ensuring I use the best coding practices known in the market. Through this, I was able to pass Turing's exams (PHP/Laravel, Python/Django). Just lookout for a niche, checkout for the best tutors online, keep working...
I would like to have a good job and achieve something big in my life, but I always give up and I am keep trying. Always something is distracting me. I feel like my life is passing by... But I won't give up and I will keep improving every day...
Thanks Dave for all you've been doing to help people improve their lives through IT. I've been a BIG FAN. Also many thanks to Stefan for his INSPIRING story. You stressed the importance of a GOOD Networking knowledge for someone going into CyberSceurity. My questions are: 1. How much of Networking do you advice one knows before going into CyberSecurity? 2. Which Security Certs are most sought after by employers? 3. Can I work remotely or be a freelancer with CyberSecurity knowledge? Many thanks in advance Dave.
What an inspiration Stefan is and David of course for posting the content that he does. Can relate to being made to feel completely and utterly inadequate and small by someone of whom is supposed (emphasis on the word 'supposed') to be encouraging people they're leading to be as successful as they possibly can instead of using words such as 'never been a success' etc in appraisals. Personally believe that everyone has something positive to bring to the table so to speak and that focusing on an individuals failings is unhelpful and damaging. Fascinated in this field however in the position that David quite often refers to this being it's not only youngsters that are wanting to get their foot through the door and into this rapidly moving and interesting career path.
15 years ago I used to be stuck in the same rut a lot of young IT professionals seem to be getting stuck in. The old “XYZ entry level IT job wants X# years of experience, but to get that experience I need XYZ entry level IT job.” Or having to think I needed all those fancy certifications and schooling before obtaining that entry level IT job. With the amount of free information out there (even 20 plus years ago) there was no reason at the time not to be able to get that experience on my own without a job in the field. A tip for all those writing resumes in the tech field. You can absolutely use your years of “tinkering” and “personal project” as experience. Looks really good when you take initiative to learn on your own.
What makes me envy this guy is how he was able to work in the field before hand, I wish I could gain hands on experience while I’m schooling and getting certs….I’m a hands on person and know for a fact I’d understand a lot of things better than reading about it constantly. I wish more jobs were out there that hired people while they are getting educated or even trained them along the way. Being stuck working as a manager in a retail store while balancing full time college can be rough on the brain at times, but I manage even though I feel I could be learning and doing more.
Dear @davidbombal, Your content has woven a tapestry of admiration in our hearts, and the anticipation for your next video is nothing short of profound. Enthusiasm resonates not just for a solitary viewing, but a desire to relish it repeatedly. With humility, we extend a request for a video unveiling the intricacies of a robust hacking PC configuration and an exploration of the PNPT certification by TCMSecurity. May the Almighty shower you with unwavering health and boundless blessings. @Zaman
@DB - This'll be the 3X I'm watching this video... Freaking awesome. Whenever u don't succeed - get mad, give the world the finger, roll up ur sleeves, and prove 'em wrong.
Watching this breaks me. I am 34 and also wasted my 20s. Now am scrambling to level up cz the ict job market in kenya right now demands alot of creds. Being a family man now Im also feeling the pressure to do things now and realize how damn i was😁😁. Anybody Can Do It.
5:58 I've heard of them. despite having been on and run BBS's since the 80s you do have to be lucky and have someone give you a chance like that. I know people that didn't get that kind of a chance, bit of a bummer for them. I got my break like that because of a regional bank in my area that ran Novell 3 & 4. Certs never hurt as long as you are able to teach someone what you've learned, I think. 11:30 absolutely this! The more you know, the more you realize you don't know! 50:28-do both!
Lol I ran a board with a very active HPA section back in the day too for a quite a few years until broadband became a thing.. ahh those were the days of the 2600 htz tone that opened the whole world up to people, even if it wasnt legal to do so
I’m autistic; imposter syndrome is the story of my life. I’m a burnt out, 31 year old, auto mechanic, who’s a single dad with primary custody. Training myself is going to be very difficult, but my autism gave me a 127 IQ and the ability to hyper focus on something I’m in to. I’m hoping to land my first IT (hopefully pentester) job, by 2025.
Big fan of Juniper SRX's just wish Juniper was a bit more open and friendly to obtaining the code upgrades for home labbers. Which is not common at all for any of the networking companies. I always found it interesting how networking companies are always asking for more engineers to come into the fold without ever providing the on hands tools to allow those of us to deep dive things. There is the security side of things that I do understand, however these newer technologies are really things that you need to be able to get your hands on to fully wrap your head around them. I wound up purchasing an SRX-300 a while back then the internal eUSB died on it. and I was left trying to find code to bring it back from the dead on a new eUSB and it was a constant fight with juiper support until I purchased a support contract through CDW.
it's good be a ccnx or jncx, but, the real thing happen in the field ....you need to got good concepts to work but it's not neccesary be a CCIE or JNCIE to be a great engineering or great problem resolver :)
Not sure how I stumbled on this video... was looking for how to use a sim card reader so I can ditch a phone... and ended up here. Like listening to a different language - I'm the most un-tech savvy person on earth I suspect. But fascinating. Thank you! Oh, and if anyone can recommend a safe sim card reader to plug in using a usb for a desktop, that would be great appreciated. 😀
I'm on a path of becoming a self-taught system administrator. If anyone who's reading this can recommend me resources, courses, books and bootcams for becoming a sysadmin which are not a waste of time and money I would really appreciate it.
If you have limited Linux experience, I'd recommend OTW's Linux for Hackers book as a starting point. Having a base of knowledge of how to use Linux from a low level is a big advantage to more advanced sysadmins, because when the more advanced things break, you're not baffled as to how to start troubleshooting. If you want to get into commercial Linux administration these days, you need to know products like Ansible and/or Chef, because most Linux admins are not limited to manually adminning a couple systems anymore. Many admins are responsible for dozens or hundreds (or more) systems, and you'll need to use automation and infrastructure as code systems to be able to do it efficiently and effectively.
I have hired boot camp graduates and they are severely lacking in real world skills. One guy was so afraid to even touch a keyboard so I took a few older computers and networked them so he could practice and he wouldn’t even try that even though the network was not connected to our internal network. With all the virtualizers you can (and must) get hands on experience in break/fix .
I don't think money is really an object, with all the tech books available from Z-library free, software for free, so much content on TH-cam for free, and even paid courses can be found free on torrent sites, it comes down to sitting down and learning the stuff which is the hardest part. And in a way this is holding as back, because when you dropped a bag of cash for your education you feel accountable to actually finish it.
The excuses is if we are just starting we have so much information to learn that we may not be able to learn it before ai makes another leap and makes it even harder and more competitive to find this dwindling jobs……
That is really a good point. The estimated job loss in the computer industry is expected to be something like 300,000,000 jobs. The survey wa done by one of the largest financial firms in the world. I would bet that figure is on the conservative side.
HELLO sir , i got stuck at learning about hacking tools , at metasploit , netcat , etc everywhere tutors are saying just how to use , but not how its working how its made and programmed , please suggest me some content for metasploit please sir
Hi David, thank you for this. I have registered for one of the courses with Juniper, do you have any tips on how to get some practical experience with the junos os/devices? The labs are behind a paywall, I am just doing the JNCIA-Junos cert. I have used packet tracer to help me visualise/build networks but it's frustrating not being able to configure the devices like you can for CISCO ones on packet tracer. Thank you!
Juniper knows A.I is coming for us all… so juniper is providing free training to humans …that way at least some of the humans will be competent at some level and may be able to put up some kind of resistance 💪🏼
Good luck. Anything that you do, say, write…I short…all online and even offline activities are monitored like never before. Any Iot devices actively monitor all of your activities without exception. Even your car, and that means really any recent vehicles are able to actively monitor the vehicle and relate information as to condition of vehicle and location of vehicle. The CEO of Google had to testify maybe a couple of years ago concerning how much data it collects from anyone that uses google on the internet and also uses google on phone. Google it and you’ll have a real disturbing feeling.
@@joelstolarski2244 Id love to Google it …but I’m worried Google will punish me …I will instead dig a hole in the ground head first using my nose and fingers…and try to burrow as far as I can into the centre of the earth for safety By the way as a driver…the electric company car I have been given is insanely stupid The controls are LAAAAAMMME…it as though they have been made to hinder a driver/human rather than assist…old system with knobs and buttons was far superior to touch screen
Can I get some advice, I have 7 certifications and have been trying to break into Cybersecurity for 2 years now and I have yet to land a job, even IT support companies have pass me over. Any thoughts? Thank you kindly
I'm in my late 20s now. My concern is will I still be able to land a job when I switch over to becoming a network engineer or such? I have a background in IT and computer networking but it's just this time that I started to get back and be interested in this type of work. What are your thoughts? I hope someone could give me an idea.
Be like Stefan! No excuses! Get certified and change your life.

2. Which Security Certs are most sought after by employers?
3. Can I work remotely or be a freelancer with CyberSecurity knowledge?
Many thanks in advance Dave.
This is amazing Dawid .Thanks for this interview .❤
Thank you for sharing this ...
You're welcome!
Thanks for lovely information sir love you from India 🇮🇳
Thank you for the interview it's very motivating to reach goal
Thank you David
You're welcome!
awesome interview Stefan and David !!
What an inspiration Stefan is and David of course for posting the content that he does. Can relate to being made to feel completely and utterly inadequate and small by someone of whom is supposed (emphasis on the word 'supposed') to be encouraging people they're leading to be as successful as they possibly can instead of using words such as 'never been a success' etc in appraisals. Personally believe that everyone has something positive to bring to the table so to speak and that focusing on an individuals failings is unhelpful and damaging. Fascinated in this field however in the position that David quite often refers to this being it's not only youngsters that are wanting to get their foot through the door and into this rapidly moving and interesting career path.
You can't change the past, but you can change the future.
Excellent interview David, always bringing on inspiring people in tech
As i said always, as good as it always🙏👍🏻
Thank you! I appreciate that!
15 years ago I used to be stuck in the same rut a lot of young IT professionals seem to be getting stuck in. The old “XYZ entry level IT job wants X# years of experience, but to get that experience I need XYZ entry level IT job.” Or having to think I needed all those fancy certifications and schooling before obtaining that entry level IT job. With the amount of free information out there (even 20 plus years ago) there was no reason at the time not to be able to get that experience on my own without a job in the field. A tip for all those writing resumes in the tech field. You can absolutely use your years of “tinkering” and “personal project” as experience. Looks really good when you take initiative to learn on your own.
What makes me envy this guy is how he was able to work in the field before hand, I wish I could gain hands on experience while I’m schooling and getting certs….I’m a hands on person and know for a fact I’d understand a lot of things better than reading about it constantly. I wish more jobs were out there that hired people while they are getting educated or even trained them along the way. Being stuck working as a manager in a retail store while balancing full time college can be rough on the brain at times, but I manage even though I feel I could be learning and doing more.
Very true. He was lucky he got in at an early stage. Not to take away all he went through but that initial start is all we need.
Dear @davidbombal,
Your content has woven a tapestry of admiration in our hearts, and the anticipation for your next video is nothing short of profound. Enthusiasm resonates not just for a solitary viewing, but a desire to relish it repeatedly. With humility, we extend a request for a video unveiling the intricacies of a robust hacking PC configuration and an exploration of the PNPT certification by TCMSecurity. May the Almighty shower you with unwavering health and boundless blessings.
@Zaman
@DB - Wow!! Excellent vlog. Definitely saved this. Glad I subscribed.
Thanks David
You're welcome!
@DB - This'll be the 3X I'm watching this video... Freaking awesome. Whenever u don't succeed - get mad, give the world the finger, roll up ur sleeves, and prove 'em wrong.
Wow uunet. They were bought by a bigger Telco. That’s way back. Now I’ll listen to the end
Watching this breaks me. I am 34 and also wasted my 20s. Now am scrambling to level up cz the ict job market in kenya right now demands alot of creds. Being a family man now Im also feeling the pressure to do things now and realize how damn i was😁😁. Anybody Can Do It.
Thank you all 💌
Keep it going. This is so motivational 🙏
am so inspired man by your videos David
Very happy to hear that! We need to help one another get better every day 😀
5:58 I've heard of them. despite having been on and run BBS's since the 80s you do have to be lucky and have someone give you a chance like that. I know people that didn't get that kind of a chance, bit of a bummer for them. I got my break like that because of a regional bank in my area that ran Novell 3 & 4. Certs never hurt as long as you are able to teach someone what you've learned, I think. 11:30 absolutely this! The more you know, the more you realize you don't know! 50:28-do both!
Self teaching is a hard skill in of itself and you have to be disciplined in order to do it and do it well.
Great video
Very nice david
Thank you! It was great talking with Stefan!
Learn different things from every video, ❤
Lol I ran a board with a very active HPA section back in the day too for a quite a few years until broadband became a thing.. ahh those were the days of the 2600 htz tone that opened the whole world up to people, even if it wasnt legal to do so
Love the content!
Thank you!
Thank you @david
Bulletin Board System (BBS). That was awesome times.
Data at 9600 baud ..... SIGH 😂
I’m autistic; imposter syndrome is the story of my life. I’m a burnt out, 31 year old, auto mechanic, who’s a single dad with primary custody. Training myself is going to be very difficult, but my autism gave me a 127 IQ and the ability to hyper focus on something I’m in to. I’m hoping to land my first IT (hopefully pentester) job, by 2025.
Big fan of Juniper SRX's just wish Juniper was a bit more open and friendly to obtaining the code upgrades for home labbers. Which is not common at all for any of the networking companies.
I always found it interesting how networking companies are always asking for more engineers to come into the fold without ever providing the on hands tools to allow those of us to deep dive things.
There is the security side of things that I do understand, however these newer technologies are really things that you need to be able to get your hands on to fully wrap your head around them.
I wound up purchasing an SRX-300 a while back then the internal eUSB died on it. and I was left trying to find code to bring it back from the dead on a new eUSB and it was a constant fight with juiper support until I purchased a support contract through CDW.
54:00 - Hire attitude, teach skill
GOOD TALK!😃😎👍💯
it's good be a ccnx or jncx, but, the real thing happen in the field ....you need to got good concepts to work but it's not neccesary be a CCIE or JNCIE to be a great engineering or great problem resolver :)
Not sure how I stumbled on this video... was looking for how to use a sim card reader so I can ditch a phone... and ended up here. Like listening to a different language - I'm the most un-tech savvy person on earth I suspect. But fascinating. Thank you!
Oh, and if anyone can recommend a safe sim card reader to plug in using a usb for a desktop, that would be great appreciated. 😀
Can you make a video about if your WiFi network maybe hacked? How do you get around it? What steps to take forward after getting rid of the problem.
I'm on a path of becoming a self-taught system administrator. If anyone who's reading this can recommend me resources, courses, books and bootcams for becoming a sysadmin which are not a waste of time and money I would really appreciate it.
If you have limited Linux experience, I'd recommend OTW's Linux for Hackers book as a starting point. Having a base of knowledge of how to use Linux from a low level is a big advantage to more advanced sysadmins, because when the more advanced things break, you're not baffled as to how to start troubleshooting. If you want to get into commercial Linux administration these days, you need to know products like Ansible and/or Chef, because most Linux admins are not limited to manually adminning a couple systems anymore. Many admins are responsible for dozens or hundreds (or more) systems, and you'll need to use automation and infrastructure as code systems to be able to do it efficiently and effectively.
@@samurphy Thank you very much.
I have hired boot camp graduates and they are severely lacking in real world skills. One guy was so afraid to even touch a keyboard so I took a few older computers and networked them so he could practice and he wouldn’t even try that even though the network was not connected to our internal network. With all the virtualizers you can (and must) get hands on experience in break/fix .
Inspiring!
Very happy to hear that! I love Stefan's story!
TH-cam is about to take down your channel, watch out and save your videos. You've done some great work. Rumble is the answer
My Red Hats for you Sir. 🤠
I don't think money is really an object, with all the tech books available from Z-library free, software for free, so much content on TH-cam for free, and even paid courses can be found free on torrent sites, it comes down to sitting down and learning the stuff which is the hardest part. And in a way this is holding as back, because when you dropped a bag of cash for your education you feel accountable to actually finish it.
The excuses is if we are just starting we have so much information to learn that we may not be able to learn it before ai makes another leap and makes it even harder and more competitive to find this dwindling jobs……
That is really a good point. The estimated job loss in the computer industry is expected to be something like 300,000,000 jobs. The survey wa done by one of the largest financial firms in the world. I would bet that figure is on the conservative side.
💚
I don't quite understand why there's so many like this unhelpful but they become your friends when you become subject matter expert.
My learning style is doing. I don't feel like i can do it because i struggle with reading comprehension. How do i overcome that massive obstacle?
HELLO sir , i got stuck at learning about hacking tools , at metasploit , netcat , etc everywhere tutors are saying just how to use , but not how its working how its made and programmed , please suggest me some content for metasploit please sir
Hi David, thank you for this. I have registered for one of the courses with Juniper, do you have any tips on how to get some practical experience with the junos os/devices? The labs are behind a paywall, I am just doing the JNCIA-Junos cert. I have used packet tracer to help me visualise/build networks but it's frustrating not being able to configure the devices like you can for CISCO ones on packet tracer. Thank you!
Juniper knows A.I is coming for us all…
so juniper is providing free training to humans …that way at least some of the humans will be competent at some level and may be able to put up some kind of resistance 💪🏼
Good luck. Anything that you do, say, write…I short…all online and even offline activities are monitored like never before. Any Iot devices actively monitor all of your activities without exception. Even your car, and that means really any recent vehicles are able to actively monitor the vehicle and relate information as to condition of vehicle and location of vehicle. The CEO of Google had to testify maybe a couple of years ago concerning how much data it collects from anyone that uses google on the internet and also uses google on phone. Google it and you’ll have a real disturbing feeling.
@@joelstolarski2244
Id love to Google it …but I’m worried Google will punish me …I will instead dig a hole in the ground head first using my nose and fingers…and try to burrow as far as I can into the centre of the earth for safety
By the way as a driver…the electric company car I have been given is insanely stupid
The controls are LAAAAAMMME…it as though they have been made to hinder a driver/human rather than assist…old system with knobs and buttons was far superior to touch screen
@davidbombal Why would someone choose Juniper over Cisco? Isn't it a safer bet to go for Cisco? I mean, based on job boards alone at least?
We all had that one guy grilling you only because they themselves lack the knowledge and instead like to shift the focus and blame
quote „who wants to transition from Cisco to Junioer“
(End quot) = Is Cisco obsolete now?
Can I get some advice, I have 7 certifications and have been trying to break into Cybersecurity for 2 years now and I have yet to land a job, even IT support companies have pass me over. Any thoughts?
Thank you kindly
I'm in my late 20s now. My concern is will I still be able to land a job when I switch over to becoming a network engineer or such? I have a background in IT and computer networking but it's just this time that I started to get back and be interested in this type of work. What are your thoughts? I hope someone could give me an idea.
who should take juniper
Hey Stefan. Can I borrow that book? Go buy your own! You are making engineer salary, right?
"Hard manual labour, running cables"? Try plumbing!
