A DDOS attack is probably the most basic attack on a computer server. Its not really hacking. It overwhelming the server. Anyone can do it but everyone above the age of 18 would be charged as an adult, so they don't do it.
@@thymos6575 "Lulz Security said it had used distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) against eight sites suggested by callers.

At a young age, Mustafa has seen the most secure government agencies getting hacked. Now, getting up and helping other companies to defend their websites and systems is something really amazing Mustafa can do!
saying he hacked the cia is misleading. he didn't access anything that wasn't publicly available or have control over the website, he just sent a botnet to flood the servers and make them go down. same thing kids were doing on call of duty 10 years ago but on a larger scale
What I will say about the ending portion of this video is that your punishment for a crime should be preventative, not punitive. If someone no longer is of any danger of committing a crime, keeping them locked in jail is a bad thing to do. There are people who can't be rehabilitated, but there are also people who can be, and Mustafa (if what he's doing is already considered wrong, which... hacking into the CIA for the lulz is probably wrong) is someone who can be rehabilitated, as is shown. Let him live his life and provide good to the world as opposed to locking him up in prison when he's no longer a threat.
18:20 he should just own that he snitched instead of trying to cloud the truth by compartmentalizing everything. Bro, you snitched. Nothin wrong with that, honestly. I would’ve done it too. You were backed into a corner by the feds and the reality is you’re a good person with kids to feed.
I have found severe vulnerabilities in some certain bookmarklets that shut down, and I just use the vulnerability that I found to just make a text file on the server explaining the vulnerability, and how it could be fixed.
Nice documentary but some of the terms you’re using are a little inaccurate. Please do more research about the subjects focusing on, I’d like to point out one instance, DDoSing, it is really not a hacking technique. There really is no hack going on here you just flooding the website with requests.
So he did some SQL injections/XSS, then some DDoS attacks and then social engineering and used the fact that people are stupid and use the same password everywhere.. What a hacker 🤣 "Normal" people's understanding of hacking is kinda funny 😅

In the US, the misdeeds of minors (< 18 years) are sealed and not to be divulged, ever. Those under 18 can't be tried as an adult, with rare exceptions (e.g. hatchet murder.) IDK the UK law. How does it work there?
Pretty similar, you have juvenile court and young offenders instututes for people under 18, cant comment much more as Ive never had much trouble when I was young. Theres also community service, curfews and other punishments that dont involve going to a young offenders instutute.
@@sneekeruk: Good to know. Sometimes the cops here will wait until the day an offender turns 18, and then pounce. There is a tendency to attribute sinister motives.
No, in the Uk (England and wales) any crime committed by a minor is spent after 5.5yrs however will remain on their record until the are 100 years of age meaning regardless of the age you commit the crime it will always be there on your record
@@user-eh9rn1jn7x: Thanks for that. As a matter of social policy, I don't think this is the best. That, however, is for English subjects to address. As an American citizen, I don't have squat to say about it.
20:09 you meant prosecution, as the defence refers to the defendant which in this case means mustafa and in regards to his sentencing it was 20 months not 20 years. Good video overall, it kept my attention through with the way you told this real life event.
You're not immigrating from Puerto Rico to the US it's the same country he moved from Puerto Rico to the US He's not an immigrant he was a US citizen in Puerto Rico and he just moved to the mainland still make some US citizen I'm sorry I just had to say that

Embarrassing misunderstanding of the subject matter shown here. A DDoS is not hacking in any way, shape or form. A web server can only handle so many requests for pages or data at a time. If a site is able to handle, for example, 10,000 active requests at a single point in time, and 10,001 people attempt to access the site at the exact same moment, the very last person will see the site is unreachable. No hack has taken place, and the site is very much available for the first 10,000 users. A DDoS attack simply takes advantage of these limitations in bandwidth by hitting a server with as many nonsense requests as possible so that the page appears to be down for any legitimate traffic. In our earlier example of 10,000, if DDoS software is used to flood the server with 10,000 (or more) requests, the site will appear to be down for anyone else who attempts to view it. Again, no hacking whatsoever has taken place. The site is still there, and has not been infiltrated at all. This was not the only aspect of the video that was inaccurate or portrayed incorrectly. For dramatic flair or because of a lack of knowledge on what’s being discussed? I’d say the latter, but potentially both.
"You're a teenager with a unique set of skills far beyond what most your age have. You're given a choice; continue being a typical teenager who plays video games or hangs out with friends or use your skills to make history as the teen who outsmarted the entire U.S. government." Yeah, seems about a normal Tuesday, I remember when I leaked everyone's locker passwords and caused upheaval as everyone scrambled to change their locks as fast as possible.
@visualVenture While I appreciate the effort you put into this video I feel the strong need to correct you at 14:12 you stated the "DDoS attack begins by hacking into the website then flooding it with data" you do NOT hack into a website to start a DDoS there is no need TO hack into a website if you just plan to launch a DDoS...Please in the future for stories like this which are amazing and I love hearing about this stuff make sure your using the appropriate terms and accurate information its little things like this that drive me away from content creators instead of making me want to stay. However you have just gained a sub because I am enjoying the story.
hello! i'm a new subscriber and i really enjoy your videos but i was wondering if there would be any way you guys would consider uploading youtube subtitles to them for better reading!
Good video, the DDoS explanation could be a bit better worded though. Edit: reading through the commwnts I'm seeing a lot of people with similar gripes on some of the technical explanations you offered. Probably would be a good idea to clarify these different explanations in a comment or at least cite sources with proper explanations on some the more technical stuff in the video description.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
Government: "You can't delete browsing history" Mustafa: **uses private browsing mode** Others: "Damn he is so clever that he found a loophole" Bruh!! Incognito mode?? doesn't everybody knows that??
It all depends what you DDoS. Taking down something as large as Google is much more impressive than DDoSing some random person's private Minecraft SMP server. Also, you'd have to remember that botnets weren't that big back then. You'd have to spend quite a lot of time finding out the best spots to hit. This is more of an embarrassment for the CIA, think of it as Tiger Woods losing to a kid in a game of minigolf.
@@Very_Questionable The most embarrassing fact is that the CIA didn’t separate its intranet and extranet properly…or from the sounds of it at all. From that simple fact, one could assume that they had little to no DDoS protection making it dumb simple to take them down.
Just a minor correction: Emigrate/immigrate generally refers to leaving a country for another country. Puerto Rico is part of the U.S., as is New York. Therefore, he moved from a territory to a state, but never emigrated, as both places are under U.S. control.

The amount of misinformation in this video is insane, calling XSS/SQL Injection as "rewriting the whole code". Please do some research in the topics you're talking about before writing scripts.

I was not expecting to see my countries revolution in this video. I want to point one thing out, While the hacks might have helped they definitely weren't the primary reason ben Ali fled. It was public rise and wrath.. Many people gave up their lives for the cause.

For me it started 6pm
How to u here from china
i hate seeing people younger than me be better at something
You stop feeling that way when you realize people, yourself included, are much more than their age.
Why? What's someone else's success got to do with your ability to find your own success?
@@hamishbuttner3263I think it’s because then you start to feel bad about yourself and how your useless.
It’s pretty embarrassing to see that lol
bro was hacking websites at the age of 9😭
Exact,y like how💀💀
@@Theuncletoeticklingtoddler Children are not stupid. It is society that wants to treat them as such.
The websites when he was 9 I's very weak than now
What I will say about the ending portion of this video is that your punishment for a crime should be preventative, not punitive. If someone no longer is of any danger of committing a crime, keeping them locked in jail is a bad thing to do. There are people who can't be rehabilitated, but there are also people who can be, and Mustafa (if what he's doing is already considered wrong, which... hacking into the CIA for the lulz is probably wrong) is someone who can be rehabilitated, as is shown. Let him live his life and provide good to the world as opposed to locking him up in prison when he's no longer a threat.
18:20 he should just own that he snitched instead of trying to cloud the truth by compartmentalizing everything. Bro, you snitched. Nothin wrong with that, honestly. I would’ve done it too. You were backed into a corner by the feds and the reality is you’re a good person with kids to feed.
I have found severe vulnerabilities in some certain bookmarklets that shut down, and I just use the vulnerability that I found to just make a text file on the server explaining the vulnerability, and how it could be fixed.
Nice documentary but some of the terms you’re using are a little inaccurate. Please do more research about the subjects focusing on, I’d like to point out one instance, DDoSing, it is really not a hacking technique. There really is no hack going on here you just flooding the website with requests.
That's why u should never forget the calculator 💀
So he did some SQL injections/XSS, then some DDoS attacks and then social engineering and used the fact that people are stupid and use the same password everywhere.. What a hacker 🤣 "Normal" people's understanding of hacking is kinda funny 😅
Why do I find myself rooting for the hackers?
Because governments kept fu*king us and hid things from us. We are tired of it and need someone to expose them
I do
Im pretty sure you have mistaken Puerto Rico with the Dominican Republic in this moment of the video 16:19, glad to help out.
I always wonder how this channel has less than a million subscribers. The contents quality is so good :)
JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON TURN TO HIM AND BE SAVED FROM ETERNAL DAMNATION WE CAN NOT GET TO HEAVEN THROUGH BEING A GOOD PERSON ONLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR
Amen
Amen
If a kid starts to wonder how computers work, pull the plug. It's like when an AI starts to realize it's an AI. It's not gonna end up well.
DUDE THIS IS INSANE! THIS IS SO WELL EDITED‼
its real nothing edited
In the US, the misdeeds of minors (< 18 years) are sealed and not to be divulged, ever. Those under 18 can't be tried as an adult, with rare exceptions (e.g. hatchet murder.) IDK the UK law. How does it work there?
Pretty similar, you have juvenile court and young offenders instututes for people under 18, cant comment much more as Ive never had much trouble when I was young. Theres also community service, curfews and other punishments that dont involve going to a young offenders instutute.
@@sneekeruk:
Good to know. Sometimes the cops here will wait until the day an offender turns 18, and then pounce. There is a tendency to attribute sinister motives.
No, in the Uk (England and wales) any crime committed by a minor is spent after 5.5yrs however will remain on their record until the are 100 years of age meaning regardless of the age you commit the crime it will always be there on your record
@@user-eh9rn1jn7x:
Thanks for that. As a matter of social policy, I don't think this is the best. That, however, is for English subjects to address. As an American citizen, I don't have squat to say about it.
Great as always, another breathtaking story brought to light :)
Fun fact: Mustafa means "The Chosen One" in arabic so it definitely checks out with this guy.
Ddos is the most basic of all the attacks,
This doesn't how genius a hacker is but how stupid are CIA contractors/developers.
20:09 you meant prosecution, as the defence refers to the defendant which in this case means mustafa and in regards to his sentencing it was 20 months not 20 years. Good video overall, it kept my attention through with the way you told this real life event.
this is not how you explain a ddos attack
You're not immigrating from Puerto Rico to the US it's the same country he moved from Puerto Rico to the US He's not an immigrant he was a US citizen in Puerto Rico and he just moved to the mainland still make some US citizen I'm sorry I just had to say that
cool
NEW VISUAL VENTURE POST !!
JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON TURN TO HIM AND BE SAVED FROM ETERNAL DAMNATION WE CAN NOT GET TO HEAVEN THROUGH BEING A GOOD PERSON ONLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR
Ok
Embarrassing misunderstanding of the subject matter shown here. A DDoS is not hacking in any way, shape or form.
A web server can only handle so many requests for pages or data at a time. If a site is able to handle, for example, 10,000 active requests at a single point in time, and 10,001 people attempt to access the site at the exact same moment, the very last person will see the site is unreachable. No hack has taken place, and the site is very much available for the first 10,000 users.
A DDoS attack simply takes advantage of these limitations in bandwidth by hitting a server with as many nonsense requests as possible so that the page appears to be down for any legitimate traffic. In our earlier example of 10,000, if DDoS software is used to flood the server with 10,000 (or more) requests, the site will appear to be down for anyone else who attempts to view it. Again, no hacking whatsoever has taken place. The site is still there, and has not been infiltrated at all.
This was not the only aspect of the video that was inaccurate or portrayed incorrectly. For dramatic flair or because of a lack of knowledge on what’s being discussed? I’d say the latter, but potentially both.
"You're a teenager with a unique set of skills far beyond what most your age have. You're given a choice; continue being a typical teenager who plays video games or hangs out with friends or use your skills to make history as the teen who outsmarted the entire U.S. government."
Yeah, seems about a normal Tuesday, I remember when I leaked everyone's locker passwords and caused upheaval as everyone scrambled to change their locks as fast as possible.
@visualVenture While I appreciate the effort you put into this video I feel the strong need to correct you at 14:12 you stated the "DDoS attack begins by hacking into the website then flooding it with data" you do NOT hack into a website to start a DDoS there is no need TO hack into a website if you just plan to launch a DDoS...Please in the future for stories like this which are amazing and I love hearing about this stuff make sure your using the appropriate terms and accurate information its little things like this that drive me away from content creators instead of making me want to stay.
However you have just gained a sub because I am enjoying the story.
This is so fascinating. Time to start my Visual Venture binge
hello! i'm a new subscriber and i really enjoy your videos but i was wondering if there would be any way you guys would consider uploading youtube subtitles to them for better reading!
8:19 But "Laughing at your security" would be "Lays"
Good video, the DDoS explanation could be a bit better worded though.
Edit: reading through the commwnts I'm seeing a lot of people with similar gripes on some of the technical explanations you offered. Probably would be a good idea to clarify these different explanations in a comment or at least cite sources with proper explanations on some the more technical stuff in the video description.
30k views is CRIMINAL for this production level. First vid I seen of yours, and I can tell it won’t be the last. Keep it up!
1m now lol, found it on tiktok
@@viv1dre4m33 WW glad he got the views he deserves haha
CONGRATS ON 300K!
Just discovered your YT Channel and have been binge watching your videos. And you're friends with TUV! Epic find! Keep up the amazing work!
Dislike because there was a sponsored segment
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
This is falsehood itself. You talked about Tunisia while showing footage of T Square in China.
Government: "You can't delete browsing history"
Mustafa: **uses private browsing mode**
Others: "Damn he is so clever that he found a loophole"
Bruh!! Incognito mode?? doesn't everybody knows that??
6:50 BEN Ali fled to saudia arabia not syria
8 year olds back then: learns hacking creates programs: 8 year olds these days: Skibidi toilet camera head
Not to be that guy, but a DDoS attack making someone the golden boy of hacking is like saying you’re Tiger Woods because you win a game of minigolf.
It all depends what you DDoS. Taking down something as large as Google is much more impressive than DDoSing some random person's private Minecraft SMP server.
Also, you'd have to remember that botnets weren't that big back then. You'd have to spend quite a lot of time finding out the best spots to hit.
This is more of an embarrassment for the CIA, think of it as Tiger Woods losing to a kid in a game of minigolf.
@@Very_Questionable The most embarrassing fact is that the CIA didn’t separate its intranet and extranet properly…or from the sounds of it at all. From that simple fact, one could assume that they had little to no DDoS protection making it dumb simple to take them down.
I'm sorry but seeing the words "digital code" literally made me cringe.
Ok buddy
Just a minor correction: Emigrate/immigrate generally refers to leaving a country for another country. Puerto Rico is part of the U.S., as is New York. Therefore, he moved from a territory to a state, but never emigrated, as both places are under U.S. control.
This reminds me of the movie Hackers. I learned to work with computers when I was 9 and it was not a hacker, but learned basic ideas.
I need this young msns skills
you deserve more subscribers for this type of content, great job and thanks for the story!

This is crazy! I’m excited to watch this video :)
I know it’s gonna do great 😃
bro the heck were his parents at when mustafa was doing all these shenanigans
personaly, I am a tunisian but I never heard of the haking hapened.
He is a cyber Robin Hood. He could do much worse with the hacking but he seems only going after big shot.
The amount of misinformation in this video is insane, calling XSS/SQL Injection as "rewriting the whole code". Please do some research in the topics you're talking about before writing scripts.
visual venture is just so good, keep up with the good work you've got here, love it. :)
Neither a hero nor a Villan but human.
DDoS doesn't require any kind of granted access into the server its just like sending millions of cars into a city and flooding the city with vehicles , its not " hacking"
the country you highligthed when you said the double agent moved from puerto rico to the US, is Dominican Republic
I was not expecting to see my countries revolution in this video. I want to point one thing out, While the hacks might have helped they definitely weren't the primary reason ben Ali fled. It was public rise and wrath.. Many people gave up their lives for the cause.
Sabu is the type of bloke to say Mimimimimi, Gwooooooh, mimimimimi while sleeping.
is this just a marketing youtube video for lulzsec? i never heard of the group until now...
The guy who used a the identity Kayla is real smart since he didn’t link his real life to his illegal activities
A computer science degree 22:12 .. perhaps that's what his thesis was about but there's no such thing as a PhD in Scaling Cryptocurrencies (trust me, I wish - I work in crypto).. 😂 so many things in this almost video said so wrongly that just ruined it..
Watch dogs legion:
This is the reason, why schools should teach more about computers. I mean at least some security basics? And imagine how big danger this will be in like 5 years.
Use hackers not send them to jail there smarter than most people hire them could be a lot help think about it movie hackers exactly they can really help exposing assholes hire hackers
Horrible explanation of how DDOS works. Completely wrong
Leave it.. not coding class bro.
Yes, I’m binge watching you for last 5or6 vids now. And I’m playing this list one bc I think you should be promoted. ❤🇨🇦😎

Please please please don't join a CSE course after watching this. You are gonna die from learning data structure and algorithm before you learn how to hack your crush's facebook account.
The misinformation in this video is crazy.. DDoS does not mean that they infiltrated the server lmao
me as a 16yr old trying to rationalize why i have accomplished less with my whole life that this dude did in 20 minutes😂🤣🤣😂
Don't worry, some people just built like that. In fact we need more of these people because of their phenomenal aptitude

Mostafa sounds like a smart guy with no principals. one day he's against the gov and the other he's with.
sounds like it's just doing it for power and to become famous. it sucks because he could've probably been 10 times more successful had he just had good morals and a clear good path in his life.
