#hacker #hacking #nsa
Best hacking career. 1) learn to hack. 2) hack nasa and Pentagon. 3) get caught. 4) go to prison. 5) get hired by fbi. 6) stonks.
I mean, not a very bad idea.
7) leave fbi 8) join nsa
@Magistar M Russia ain't that good
Not the fastest route. The time in prison usually is an issue. It also makes it very difficult to get a Job. Stay Clean, stop bad guys, report/find bugs legally.
@@zartech-info it's a joke btw and I said best not fastest
At 72 years of age I have no intention of 'getting a job' in any field but I must say that I find you and Neil extremely interesting and informative. I am actually checking out your leads and have started delving and participating in the basic training and other leads you talk about. I've learned so much since I started following you guys. I've started setting up my home lab and look forward to hacking myself if nothing else. :) Keep up the good work. It is great even for old folk like me. It keeps our brains alive.
Hack the planet
Hack your biological DNA.
@@wrathofgrothendieck Mess with the best, die like the rest. Boot Up or Shut Up! >D
wait so you are 72........you are so cooolll i swear my grandparents watch serials at this age
I think you're amazing!
These questions are exactly the questions that have been on my mind. It’s great to just hear from a professional who’s already in the industry. Thank you for the content.
Been going to school online for about a year for IT with a concentration in Cyber Security. Never felt like I was gaining practical workplace knowledge. This video has helped me figure out a path I can start on. Thank you guys so much. Definitely felt represented as a 28 year old who just left the construction industry to pursue something better and more interesting to me. This is a big help!
That's funny, I'm a 28 year old leaving the construction industry and getting into cyber security
And my names Mike 🤣
Hack the University; as well a putting a backdoor on your teachers computers adjust your marks. Spend your time doing something more practical. If you get caught; at least those in the industry will know you worth. Enough said.
That’s amazing. I’m also a 28 year old looking at the same thing. Nice to know I’m not alone
Rodbuster here currently about to start what you've started, hopefully to get out of construction
32 years old and at a big career change moment in my life, this video definitely helped give me some direction. Baie dankie David, love your content!
You're welcome! You cannot change the past, but you can change your future.
I switched over from the medical field 3 years ago. Went back to school. Got an IT degree. Focus on Cyber Defense. Graduated. Got my Sec+ and finally after almost a year got my first job in IT. Security is tough to get into and will take patience and time. Clear your schedule to learn ethical hacking. It’s a rabbit hole. Fun but a rabbit hole. Find a good mentor to help because sometimes reading isn’t enough.
This is good to hear because I'm 51 years old and looking to make the same change
30 career changer here and this is perfect!
@@calebloco where did you get the degree on cyber defense from and how much does it cost?
One of the most interesting parts in this video is David Sir asking the absolute right questions for beginners. This is a great video. Gonna smash the share button!
Thank you! I appreciate that! :)
Smashed it already 😜😂
@@davidbombal sir can yu please recover my facebook account
@@zehranaqvi3453 i dont think thats how it works lol
@Stone Wood huh
I can't watch this video without jotting down some vital point from sir David and the NSA guy thanks to him also for being brutally honest and straightforward with his answers . He didn't show any sign of pride or something related to that based on his intellectual abilities in the ethical world.You both are amazing
What a great video - and I appreciate how David is considerate of his audience by making sure Neil break down and explain the high-end terminologies for beginners to comprehend. And thank you for going even beyond and adding all the meaning of the abbreviated words and terms used by Neil in the video 🙏🏽
Awesome interview! Being of the older generation and knowing that its possible to get into this field without having to quit my job and attend a college full-time, has just put a fresh wind under my wings. So glad I found this interview!
How amazing is this, was trying to find out how to enter the cyber security industry and this video suddenly popped up on my recommended. This seriously helps a lot. Thanks a lot to both of you.
If you tried to search for that on google, then not so much... Since they own youtube, part of the algorithm making customized suggestions is based on what you searched for on google.
Hi bro I want to go in too, can we work together and learn.
@@favouruwalaka5643 Sure, I have started the INE course for pentesting. You can start that too.
Hi Elvin how can I get in touch with you ? Id like to start learning together. I'm in Kerala.
@@priyajohn5607 Sure why not, contact me on Facebook. Let's connect from there.
Awesome, all of it. Especially the last part about imposter syndrome. I'm a long time sufferer myself. People tell me I'm smart, but I struggle a lot with my self image.. Listening to this interview, I've made a bunch of notes and started outlining a path towards getting into the field of cyber security. Thank you again David! ❤
Hey man, I just wanted to say thank you on behalf of myself and everyone who forgot to say it.. I would say I wish I had known this 25 years ago but I don't regret everything else I learned having done certifications along the way as you can always put the knowledge to use, specially in pen testing
Can't say I was expecting this. Thanks a lot to both of you.
Hopefully a good surprise :)
@@davidbombal *It is actually better than birthday & xmas at same day... 👌👍*
@@davidbombalhi how can I contact him I have a big doubt is networking certificate must for ethical hacker
@@gametech9649 Go to his linked in and tell me what he says
Thanks David and Neal one of my favorites from your channel, I'm 43 and have been in and out of IT for years but nothing has really captured my eye like cyber security, I wish I had started sooner but no time like the present.
I am a little late here, this video was out in Jan 2021. Only found this gem towards the end of 2021. The advice and road map in this industry given by Neil really open up my mind on how I should navigate into Cyber Security. Of course, you are a good host David! Great insightful content!
I just watched this for my first time. I'm 37 just starting to getting into the cyber security field. I have always been interested and had a passion for it. After many years of being a Chef, I'm looking forward to the change. I would like to say this was so helpful that I THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR TIME. I remember messing with computers when the screens were green and all the changes they went thru. knowing now I'm going back to something I truly enjoyed as a kid. I could not be happier. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE INFORMATION.
hey, how it goes so far?
Neil is incredibly well spoken. A true professional.
Whaooo! This was blessing in disguise cuz I've taken security+ & repeating the Pen Test course to get the certs while I come from a non-IT background. Awesome to you BOTH....hat off
I've sent this video to so many HS grads that want to know how to start. Love this video. Thank you!
This video is what I needed. I am a few years from retiring from the military and have been going hard at attaining a BS in Cybersecurity, but I always have known deep down inside that experience in the field is more precious than a degree that doesn't give me the experience needed to be successful. I have taken note of all the training sites, enrolled, and will train on my off time along with the eJPT. Thanks David and Neil.
Great video David! After getting hurt at work a couple of weeks ago I've come to the realization that my days as a delivery driver are numbered so after seeing this video I've really developed an interest in Ethical Hacking/Pen Testing. I started an Ethical Hacking course on Udemy and so far I've really enjoyed it and I'll be switching careers hopefully sooner rather than later. At 48 it's a bit scary switching up careers but based on what I'm learning so far I'm really enjoying it. What I like best about your channel is how thorough you are with your questions and making sure that your viewers get all the information we need to get ahead and succeed in the IT field. Keep up the great work!
Davids got a great course on Wireshark and Kali Linux on Udemy
I’m 41 and I’m about to take my CompTIA A+ just to start, because I’ve been involved in computers since I was a kid. Then I’m going into hacking and cybersecurity as a major career pivot. No fear. Thanks for all the helpful information you two.
It was an amazing session ! Thanks a lot David and Neil. Looking forward to your future sessions.
I love this, i appreciate the casual conversation about this. The type of environment I come from is and has hacking as a thing thats shine down upon. I'm the first in my family to get into ethical hacking now. I come from a Networking Background and I'm a network engineer, I have my CCNA and hands on experience on HTB and CTF I'm glad I came upon this video at this time because now I'm more motivated to build my Network. I have buddies in Arizona, Texas, and New York now coming along with me on this ride and watching this has helped me see the vision. Thanks David!
49 yrs old, a firefighter/paramedic for 18 yrs and I’ll be retiring in a few years. I’m deeply interested in this field as a career change and I’ll be putting these techniques into action. Outstanding video. Very informative and encouraging.
Funny.. Im pretty much in the same place ;-)
The part about home labs and participating in capture the flag events, just the importance of hand on experience in general was super useful. I would have applied to jobs until old age with no idea why I'm not hearing back. Thank you both
Te-ai angajat ?
This has been by far the most helpful video pertaining to getting in the cybersecurity field. Thank you so much for taking the time to shoot this.
It was amazing intervew!! Thank you so much, David and Neal!
I don't usually do this but I made a promise toharryjeph100 on G-mail that I was recommended to by a friend of mine that if is able to get me back into my social media account that I lost i would talk about him everywhere and I guess here I'm, I couldn't have been able to access if it weren't for him, my appreciation to Harrison no one else was able to get could recover it for me and it's services is very reliable and swift💯
I just made it in the industry 5 months ago and I still come back to watch these videos It’s never ending learning
David, I just found your channel today and I’ve listened to 4 to 5 of your videos already. I’m 41 and want to get into cyber security. I have an associates degree in computer programming, but that was 18 years ago. Most of my career has been in retail and warehouse work, with alittle IT stuff here and there. The questions you asked Neal and his information gives me a solid roadmap. Thanks! Excellent content, very helpful and encouraging.
this is actually on of the best roadmap to cybersec vids ive seen! especially the networking part which is often not discussed imo.
Neal's top 3 was solid valuable information for me, thanks for the great content! 👍
You're welcome Luis
I am 32 years old and considering to make a change in my career from drilling industry to IT. Cybersecurity always interested me. Then, i found this video and offered me the most important steps to take in order to get into the field. Thanks a lot, David and Neil for this most valuable advices! 🙏👏
Do it! I'm 43 years old and currently in college
Thanks a lot for the encouragement. Two days ago i had my first session of CCNA course as my learning path. Congratulations for attending the college. The age is just a number when you have ambition. Best of luck. 😉
@@88mariangeo cum merge?
How is it going?
im only half way in and im already loving this video. so glad i found your channel!
As a Cybersecurity Major, this has been amazingly helpful thank you! Will be following both parties for more advice and tips!
Thank you Gents! I have over 25 years of IT experience and finally decided to focus on Pen Testing certification last year. I truly want to prepare myself to pass the OSCP. However learning that the eJPT could be a valuable stepping stone into becoming a certified JR Pen Tester is very intriguing to me right now. Kudos gents!
one of the BEST content I've ever watched about cybersecurity 2 thumbs up
I congratulate you. the quality of each video is undisputed. each video helps one to grow and increasingly open his head in any field of IT
I'm sharing this video with EVERYBODY!!! This is a TRUE gift, let alone a video on KZhead! Thanks SO MUCH!!!
Thank You for both of u and David you always here to guide us "lost soul"
You're not lost. You just haven't found what your calling is yet. But the most important reason we are created and put on earth is to get experiences/knowledge, and to spread love and kindness. Never forget that. - The Stranger from the Internet lol
@@peacekeepermoe what I mean about Lost soul not spiritually what I mean it's professionally and study 😄
@@raidenjfr1 And I meant calling, in ALL situations bro... Because 'spiritually' and 'professionally 'are not too separate sometimes. You should meditate everyday with the intention of finding your calling and hopefully one day you will get your answer. I hope you find your calling soon ;)
This is high quality David. Thanks to both for taking the time
Thank you.
Amazing video, watched every single second of it clear, concise and both parties very well spoken. Thank you both for the great content.
Thank you both 10x over for this video. I just recalibrated my career transition plan with the info; it’s way more streamlined now and more tightly focused on what Im really interested in. Most excellent.
David is always to the Point and not wasting any time and just what everyone is after honesty. Honestly you have helped me a lot during my MSc and I couldn't have possibly got a degree with Merit without your amazing contribution. Thanks David.
Thanks David and Neal for this high quality interview!
You're welcome Pablo!
David, thanks you for all your help and the knowledge you collect to share with all of us.
I’m close to going into a program for software engineering even tho I wanna do software development, but cyber security seems just as or way more interesting than I thought originally. The amount of real perspective on it is what appeals me based on this video. Thanks y’all. Amazing content !
Thank you very much and good luck Mr.David 💖
You're welcome!
Man, I've been feeling absolutely lost the last year just trying to figure out where to start. This was unbelievably helpful
Probably you juat needed someone who would reassure you what it is possible for you
Start with Linux
It's possible for you. If I did it you can do it.. trust me
@@DynamicDesignz585 is there anyway to speak with you briefly? I have the same concern about starting this late.
@@digi_tv did he reply to you?
Thank you for this video! I am just starting out in cybersecurity and this video is practically life changing!
Thank you both- so much great advice here!! I’m on it!💪
What an interesting guy! Thanks for introducing us to Neil, David.
Agreed. Neal is great! You're welcome.

Would love to hear more from Neal, maybe some thoughts on an Airforce/ military path to a cyber career. His experience in the military and how it may have shaped his career and views on Cyber Security. Fairly new to your content David, but the more I watch the more I'm enjoying it. Cheers!
I'm just getting into learning web development and game development after getting hurt in the trades and found this channel by accident. Holy cow, this is SUCH solid advice! I wasn't initially thinking about security, but I am going to also get the INE certs done while I am finishing my degree! Thank you Gentlemen, new subscriber now, looking you both up on LinkedIn here soon.
Both of your time is much appreciated, thank you.
You are actually changing my life, these interviews are so valuable to us students. I am no longer coasting along in my degree, I am actively applying myself.
This is an amazing video and despite my experience in the field, I have learned a lot about the best part of IT, and what the barriers of entry are. I thought CEH was the entry barrier in the field. I have taken roles that assume many parts of blue team role, but never looked at it like that.
You don't need CEH
I am a newbie just getting started in Cybersecurity, This video post is an awesome way to get inspired to keep going. I needed this. Thank you David, for this and all you have been sharing with the community.
Thanks for this David and Neil, just finishing CS degree at Deakin Uni and needed a roadmap on how to get experience.
Such a great video, so many useful tips! Can't wait on second interview!

This is amazing, I didn't know what path to take. This is what I really needed to start in this field. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the video Joel
Hi Joel, If you are not sure which path to get hook. Try be at least good in DevOps at least. Then you can start slowly choose path. if you choose directly without knowing things you are just become a script kiddies. A good pentester i met, they are awesome in getting exploit leverage the situation on their hand without relying tools and turnover into good defence. have a try. you will understand.

Thank you both for the video. I'm just starting my path into cyber security this helps alot.
As a fellow interviewer this was fantastic. Great information, great questions! Subscribed
Thanks a lot for this amazing content! And thanks David cuz you literally saying what is on my mind, especially after each part when you ask to reclear things to us!!! Amazing job keep it up! Unfortunately it’s 2 years later now and INE is not free anymore can you please suggest us any other websites that is free to get into and learn? I would really appreciate your help!

Thank you David and Neal, this is an extremely informative and helpful interview. It has given me a roadmap to get into cybersecurity that I have not thought of.
I used to be so interested in getting to the cyber security industry in my youth but where i do live there is no industry for it especially for someone with a business degree, but i did lots of shady stuff back in the day but i had to give up and focus on finding a job in my field of study but to be honest the past 5 years not being close to tech made me miserable, always has this crazy idea of leaving everything behind ans start all over but its it's kinda hard being over 30 now, but this talk got me pumped again this is really super helpful, thanks a lot
I am 2 years late. I hope nothing big changed from the time this was released. I want to go into cybersecurity I am 27 and this video is so amazing answers a lot a questions. This video motivates me when he said that there are people from different backgrounds. I currently do construction but I want to change careers. Thanks so much
That is great. Glad that's on my recommendations!

Love the content. I'm still studying for the CompTia A+, but my goals and plans go this big. haha
how’s the A+ going? did you get the cert?
@@blacksupaman6730 I’ve been studying. But honestly, I believe life is too short to actually take a huge career path prior to break into cyber security. I didn’t take the A+ but I’m taking the Net+ this year and the Sec+ before the middle of the next year. I think it’s better this way. No need to start from the very bottom, but of course I’ll still study the basics, not spending money on A+ though. I’d rather save it for another certs.
Aahh yess! Motivation level after watching this: "Over 9000!"

This was a great video! As someone trying to break into this industry, it’s great reassurance that I’m on the right path and to not get discouraged! Excellent tips for the networking goals!
I don't usually do this but I made a promise toharryjeph100 on G-mail that I was recommended to by a friend of mine that if is able to get me back into my social media account that I lost i would talk about him everywhere and I guess here I'm, I couldn't have been able to access if it weren't for him, my appreciation to Harrison no one else was able to get could recover it for me and it's services is very reliable and swift💯
As a 15 year old interested in cyber security I can say that this is the best video I have found so far. I am homeschooled and a junior in high school so it can be tough to find advice/info that applies to me. Thank you so much!
im high school and wanna get into hacking too lmao
I too was Homeschooled as a teenager, and loved every minute of it because I learned HOW TO MASTER Linux, Adobe, Navigate through Microsoft windows on all sorts, get into APPLE, etc. All of this was taught to me via my dad, and a few family members in the U.S. Government/U.S. Military via my dad's side of the family. I Am now almost 38 yrs old and always learning new exciting things about this stuff which I love with a passion.
im 15 too! granted, i go to a public school so it’s not the same, but they only offer one basic computer science class so in my spare time i want to start looking into stuff i can build off of as well
am following you keenly and you have been of great help, am 43yrs with Zero knowledge, but am gonna follow your lead on basic training
Sooo much value in this video ! I should've watched this months ago! Subbed!
I'll do the honours of networking here itself. This video sir. Is what I needed. I wanted to get into cybersecurity, already have an IT Background, but was lost which certifis or degree would be good, and then this video came. It surely helped a lot. Right questions really extracts the right information. ✨👍
"How do I document it" I was about to ask😂 Completely beginner friendly and most needed queries. ❤️
@@libraryofthoughts0 it was about how to furnish resume, not about documenting anything 😂
Thank you so much for this interview David
Going through a career change at 33. This video definitely gave me the confidence to proceed with my learning path. Thank you both.
