      To be real hacking is more like sex. Sometimes the other party just won't participate and there is nothing to gain, however once they do participate you will likely go in and out each time deeper and deeper multiple times until something brakes and you're done. Yes some times you can try brute forcing things, but it only works if the other party is weak. If you can't brute force things and well things don't go anywhere, you should try various other approaches and see if taking your time will make a difference.

    Great to see a higher level pentest explanation type video which doesn't bore you to death with every tiny detail but still goes over each of your steps.
    If we see a tool or vector that's new to us we can follow up at a lower level later.
    For a 30 min video you kept up a speed and momentum that was so easy to follow and engaging it seemed like its was much shorter. To me the sign of good video making is when you realise what you thought was short 5 or 10 min of viewing was actually half an hour or more.
    Definitely leaving a deserved Thumbs Up on this Video and I'm now off to check out you other content. If this video is a typical I will be subscribing for sure.

      Honestly the most important thing too understanding this video is becoming familiar with Linux. I'm not at all interested in pen-testing as a career, my only involvement is watching these videos. However, I'm able to keep up with the videos just with my existing knowledge of Linux. All the special tools he uses to brute force accounts are pretty self explanatory with a quick Google search.

      The phrase I expect to hear after "really opened my eyes to what must be done to gain access" is you DON'T want to do cybersecurity (or your own hacking). I have a hard time imagining what you mean. Is it: "cybersecurity sounds like a really easy job, because I can sit back and know there are so many defences already in place"? I can't imagine any other way you get from your first thought to the second. Are you just lazy, or really excited about learning how to invade the privacy of others? Nothing else makes sense here.

    I've been using computers my whole life and my entire career is in software but I have never really dabbled in pen testing or "hacking" even though I am familiar with the concepts. I am so glad I came across your video because it really inspired me to learn more about it and it seems like TryHackMe! is the exact type of platform that I do best on when trying to learn new concepts. You gave a very brief explanation each time you used a new utility in your toolkit but to save us time scrubbing your video and searching for everything, would mind updating the description and listing out and/or linking to what was used? Thanks for posting this video - I love your style.

    Little sad that my university's IT program didn't have a pen testing course or introduction aside from mentioning it as a side topic. I took some Linux security courses focused on policies and configuration but I never really got exposed to tools such as these. However, I did take some digital forensics courses, so this was very similar to that with respect to data investigation. Also decent hint for threat modelers and network admins to pay attention to their policies considering how easily these tools can slip through.

    I watched this the first time and got motivated (Had no idea what was going on though).
    So I went over to overthewire bandit and after reading TONS of articles I was able to finish all the levels(I had zero experience in this field, also had to see 4 solutions).
    Now I'm in picoCTF checking out different fields(Whilst reading TONS of articles).
    I came back here and surprisingly I understood most of the things that you did (Not that I know the tools you used or anything but I can relate to the concept itself).
    The only thing that I have to read about to understand more is the ssh2john part.
    Anyways Just letting you know that your videos are an inspiration.
    I have been training since 1st October and I will be joining a capture-the-flag competition which is for middle east.
    I'll keep you updated with the results (I am not expecting to get a good rank but want to see how well I can do).

    This was fun to do. I have been in IT for a long time and I feel like this kind of stuff is what is going to get me really passionately back into it. I also decided I was going to use Ubuntu instead of Kali because I do like to control the packages that are on my machine, plus it is an opportunity to continue to do stuff in Linux that I do not always get to do (compile code from source etc). Really looking forward to continuing on THM and other avenues. Would really like to get into bug bounties as time permits on my spare time.

    I’m 15:00 in and I’ve come to realize that being able to build a PC, overclock it’s hardware, instal an OS and other hardware monitoring programs is not very impressive in the world of PCs. I understood a very minimal amount of what you were doing. Looking at the source code of a website, and using the program similar to a command prompt. What you were telling the program to search for - no idea. The significance of those 4 numbers you noted down is - no idea. I imagine it would take years of practise to actual be able to hack something. My 34 year old brain isn’t a sharp as it used to be and is only going to get worse. The ship may have sailed for me regarding the ability to hack. I have enjoyed what I’ve watched so far! Well done!

    I love how free from shame TryHackMe is. I tried to get into pentesting very early on, I think this was the early 00's, with a similar service.
    But back then, there was so much snobbery. The site was meant to be used to learn, but you got no hints, no instructions. You just loaded up the first page and was supposed to know what to do already.
    This was when search engines were still in their very early versions, so trying to look up writeups wasn't an option either. Going on forums would give you one of two responses: Why are you hacking? and You don't even know the basics?
    So yeah, it was hard getting into pentesting 15-20 years ago, unless you shelled out a few thousand on courses. You couldn't really go for the books, since nobody would tell you what you needed to research.
    But today, with services like TryHackMe, it's much more open. Free, or close to free education for the masses. And Internet has become a much more secure place thanks to it.
