• IM from Indonesian Darknet support new era generation hacker

• Oh what a fuggin GENIUS. Being young and a hacker xD sooooooo innovative David.

• Great interview, 👍

• It is impossible to hack physical keys. It's like the entire world wants to be hacked. It's mind blowing.

• This guy is great! Happy to hear he will be going places!

• i been in this game a long time and this kid is a stud….BRAVO young man.

• I am 12.i know some hacking
  I think I can do bug bounty kinda things

• hello sir, i want to make a career in clod computing and specifically in solutions architect role do i need to have a networking knowledge to become solutions architect associate if yes the which networking certification should i go for and on which topics i should focus more??

• Boss, could you please create a comprehensive video series covering advanced topics such as advanced time based blind SQL injection injection, XSS, LFI, RFI, and RCE, including the process of uploading web shells on Apache and IIS web servers in live website scenarios? Traditional platforms like test.vulner, DVWA, bWapp, PortSwigger, etc., fail to address real-world challenges like identifying origin IPs, DNS brute force attacks, reverse IP lookups, WAF/IDS/IPS circumvention, AWS/CDN/Tor, reverse proxies, and CMS security 🤙. Your unique content would be invaluable in educating the bug bounty hunting community about genuine issues and solutions. Thanks in advance for your contributions to the community.

• I am in highschool but no one told me my computer lab techer don't know anything 😢

• Sir the price of the book is too much

• Thank you!

• Really liked this interview, I too am of the boomer mind set and listening to Gavin articulate his generation continues to help me understand. My son is 18 and loves everything about computers, from architecture to gaming to programming. I am going to have him watch this interview. I also loved how he said he isn’t “Hollywood”. Just awesome. Thanks David and Gavin.

• I trust public wifi to do mitm

• Always hearing to network, but I tried discord and was bombarded by phishing attacks and hacks attempted on my account, same thing happened with LinkedIn…so many fake accounts and your information is out there in the open for anyone to see. Idk how cyber pros can trust these socials knowing how bad privacy and data is out there now…

• I've been homeschooling my two kids, aged 9 and 10, for the past year. During this time, I introduced them to basic Linux commands using Kali Linux VM. As we enter our second year, I'm pleased to see that they've developed a solid understanding of navigating and using terminal commands comfortably. Currently, I'm guiding them through the process of creating a virtual lab, complete with a pfSense firewall and Metasploitable VM machine, using VirtualBox. This endeavor is aimed at delving a bit more into the realm of cybersecurity. Looking ahead, my hope is that by the time they reach 15, they will have acquired several CompTIA certifications, setting them on a path ready for the future.

• "When you get that Ferrari."

  If that's a brand of electronics he can hack stuff with :p Just sayin', we know what he spends his money on :p

• more than anything else how mature and well thought he speak impress me

• Going on my 4th year in a cyber security degree, and still have yet to learn anything about hacking and the tools out there to do so….instead I’ve learned only the basics that pretty much help prevent an attack, I’ve had to look elsewhere for resources such as David, Udemy, and many others….its sad how college is this way and no wonder many graduate and still know nothing.

• age doesnt matter, its liabilities that matter. As long as someone invests and does not accumulate debt or kids they can do what they want at any age and dont have to pander TOO hard to the market.

  4 times a year udemy has smoking deals, like $120 course for $15 which is pretty much free.

• you can get a learners at 15 9 months old and get license at 16
  you know when your 16
  he cant remember and hes still a kid
  this makes zero sense to me

• Email address failed validation… The VPN link doesnt work.

• Take ❤ if you remember backtrack5 r2😁

• Truly inspired David! Thank you!

• All your experts, your professionals that provided you with Proton VPN, don't have a clue ::P

  NEW GENERATION COMING UP
