    That's the problem with this era in general. The dopamine rushes from tic tok and instagram give people a sense of instant gratification, which is why they don't want to spend long hours studying. But people should realize that the only way to learn something and be really good at it is to dedicate time to it in the long run.

    I just saw this video and it kind of opened my eyes. I kind of had this phenomenon in the back of my mind, but I never really thought about it. I've watched quite a few videos that are a little below my level. But most of the time I told myself that it could help me manifest the basics. The truth is that most of these videos were a big waste of time. Time I could have spent on THM or HTB, VulnHub, PicoCTF or something like Protostar. Had I realized this earlier I could have completed most of the THM or HTB Boxes when I was young, alongside with High school, back in 2016/17 instead of struggling with it now, in my limited time alongside my studies.

    Well said! I am a cybersecurity professional and I love learning the basics. Things change fast and the industry has to adapt quickly. Project objectives creep and move into areas one may not know a lot about but still have to know about it. If you learn the basics you can make sense of the subject matter and make an informed decision. If you skip it you dont really understand it and can make a bad decision.
    So far I have been trying to go by three things really. 1) Be humble enough to ask questions. 2) Enjoy learning new things. 3) Its amazing what you can get done if you dont focus on the credit received.

    This is a great and very important video! As a fellow cybersecurity content creator, I get that it can be challenging creating content that is equal parts engaging and educational. That said, there are definitely folks out there that don't even try to find a way to educate and instead make complete garbage.
    It's also challenging for the rest of the industry because there's SO much more to the field than just "hacking". Like that's just one piece of a whole ecosystem of cool things like forensics, threat intelligence, cyber defense, etc. I think we all play a role in trivializing the industry by making "hacking" come off as demonstrative of the whole field.

    Interesting to see a video like this. RUclips content creators have certainly increased the amount of script kiddies we're having to deal with.
    A script kiddie is dangerous, misconfiguration and inadvertent consequences (running things you don't yet understand.) pose a huge threat to any company/team/crew.
    He is most likely talking about NetworkChuck. Hackers have typically been blaming him for the influx of kiddies in recent times.

    • @curator8129
      @curator8129 2 года назад +5

      Yeah, and it's a shame. Chuck has put out some very useful material, presented in an engaging manner. Personally, I'm annoyed that his increasingly clickbaity titles make it difficult to find the specific info I'm after. As far as his impact on script kiddies, I don't know how much we can pin on him directly. Realistically, anyone putting out good red team training is going to up the numbers and effectiveness of kiddies. He's just been more effective working with the youtube algorithm to increase exposure. Sure, it'd be nice if everyone took Hackersploit's angle and only marketed towards industry professionals. That would help minimize random people having the content come across their feed and trying stuff out. I can't really hate Chuck though. He's just doing what youtubers do, exploiting his niche, maximizing his exposure, and maximizing his earnings. At the end of the day, in the cyber sec space, much like in greater society, I've just got to keep the faith that more people are good and will always outweigh the efforts of the few malicious actors. Otherwise, we have to sacrifice a lot of access to information and freedoms.

      Indeed I agree with you here, for the most part.
      The people may not be malicious, but as Alexis says... You shouldn't be using port scanners unless you actually understand the packets, the ports, the scripts that nmap runs.
      Even an 11 year old can use metasploit to get shells on servers (I know because I was doing it at 11), but I lacked all the knowledge to do any priv esc and didn't even know the file structure.
      That's how they end up doing damage by complete accident, it's not necessary malicious but we still have to remediate.

    This is an effect that every industry is getting hit with. I feel it's more prevelant in the US since the cost of education is so high. People are trying to find ways to get high salary jobs/worthwhile education without the 6 figure debt of university (and considering the increasing uncertainty of the economy). What can be realistically accomplished in any industry is being obfuscated by get-"rich"-quick styled "influencers" who turn serious subject-matters into infotainment.

    I would then waste a week frustrated that I can't progress try to get back in something "trendy" get disappointed and had this back and forth ever since I graduated last November.

    My brother, more people need to say this.. but as a new viewer and subscriber with a recent interest in cyber security, your channel has been monumental in my education. I can’t express enough admiration for the fact that you openly do not care about creating attractive thumbnails promising a magical 2 day start into cyber security. That kind of integrity and genuineness is found in less than 1% of the population today; where it’s all about greed, wealth and selfish gain.
    I appreciate you, I appreciate your work and I appreciate the ongoing effort to your channel, website and forum as well. I am soon going to be purchasing your courses because I am beyond grateful for the pricing and the integrity you’ve displayed to me as a mentor. Quality over fashion, as they say. Love and prayers for you ❤🙏🏻

    Completely on board with you. As someone who is switching from finance to cyber, I came across this type of content creators who say “learn to trade in 3 days” type of stuff. They devalue years of learning, hard core qualifications such as CFA with 40-45% pass rates (total of 1200 hours of learning on average). I consider myself as a smart guy, but I struggle with cyber content and pay my dues to this amazing industry and community. Thank you for your hard work

    From my perspective, I think there is an importance to develop an understanding of the language and terminology of a field so you can disern the quality of what your reading\hearing. It is important to not watch content but also to honor your time. The RUclips algorithm really wants you to just watch and keep watching. And often what you watch does alter how you see things. I watch this channel so I can increase my domain knowledge. It guides me on areas I should read in more detail, where my own understanding might be questionable. I can tell you at the end of the day as my knowledge has grown, it has allowed me to question and suggest approaches in the IT Projects in my office. For myself, everytime a questionable channel shows up as a suggested video I choose 'don't suggest this channel'. We need to learn and also live our lives. So Thank you Alexis for your well thought out and quality content. I truly appreciate it.

    This video hits the nail on the head. Ive been in the Industry for 4 years, along that period ive been a sys admin, a infrastructure technician and have started my transition into info-sec/cyber security after just finishing my degree within the related field.... its no joke how people assume they can just jump onto the bandwagon with cyber security. I myself are still a novice to the specialisations!.

  • @cyberslides7364
    @cyberslides7364 2 года назад +1

    Thank you very much sir.
    It's quite unfortunate that, people want hacking to be taught in 2 mins.
    Once your video is beyond 10 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins long or more, it becomes irrelevant.
    Cyber Security is hard, because one has to learn a lot of technologies! It takes time to master the craft and some people don't understand.
    You, David Bombal, NetworkChuck and the others have been in this industry for long and you have becomes mentors in this industry. Providing free content from basics to professional.
    Thank you so much sir, for shading for more light. Hopefully, people will learn from this!

  • @zukxxxx0

    Your videos are always fantastic Alexis, I have learnt and still keep learning from you the more. Some of your advanced and intermediate videos I have created a playlist to myself and add them into it. I have it for your, TCM's and David Bombal's videos.
    I have had more insights from your information gathering playlis.
    And now a days I'm more focusing on the programming in order to write my own scripts rather than using others scripts. I admit that I can understand the code lines and use them with some of my modifications anyhow I want to write them myself.
    You are always an inspiration brother
    Keep motivating us and my gratitude for the insights you've given to the community especially to me❤️❤️❤️❤️

  • @kosmonautofficial296

    Well said I completely agree. It is too bad RUclips takes away the dislike button and makes so many incentives just to go for quick cash. I have had some friends who want to get in the industry and I also tell them to stay away from those videos. I think it really trivializes these advanced topics and discourages people from digging deeper. I think in the long run not focusing on profits and focusing on creating great output is the most profitable.

    Thank you Hackersploit, what an absolute giga-chad. I’m currently a freshman in college and I’ve learned that this specialized industry is no joke , it requires foundational skill. The IT field seems to be continually materalized into consumerism. (as what I can tell the specialized field is dealing with confidential information, it is not meant to be seen as something silly and can cost companies millions)
    I’ll admit myself I’ve failed with previously consuming the false product, though this video opened my eyes.

    hey Alexis, great message, but i think those who are passionate about this career, will not fall into those baits, they know it takes time to be effective in this field. i was a sys admin for the past 2 decades, and when i decided to shift to CS i knew from 2nd article i read that i need at least 2 years to be comfortable in CS as a career. the only problem i had was that i am reading and watching too many stuff, and never took the step to just start getting my hands dirty, simply because i didnt have a clear roadmap. my humble advice to all who is watching this to watch your video about the roadmap and just start, what ever they decide to do, just START, and the flow will take you. thank you for your great content, that i personally will be following it to achieve my goals one by one and become a CS in 2 years from now

Their PNPT helped me in getting a JOB, you guys are amazing :)

    I say it’s something for everyone. People have to start somewhere, and clicking on the sillier videos, may pique their interest more, but the algorithms on the various platforms, will also suggest some other deeper content. Also, they will learn to research to find out more about the topic.
    People will take many paths to reach a goal. Perhaps, they start on the clickbait videos, but eventually find more structured content on other platforms. If they truly have a passion for learning and growing, they will realize the frauds, because they’ll come away from the content empty. I appreciate it all. What I don’t like, I ignore.
    If a person doesn’t know the fundamentals of cyber security , they will be weeded out during the interview process, and they will learn from it. The journey may be different, but the road may lead to the exact same place. I’m still learning and feel like I can never know enough.
    Thank you for your content.
    Update: Haha!! Ehhh, I see what you’re talking about. I unsubscrobed from that person, for the very same reason. Yes, that’s pretty bad, but again, the hope is that it can lure viewers in to get their palettes wet, for them to go out and find higher quality content.

    I dont often play 30 minutes videos on RUclips, but Im glad I did on this one. I first found you while working towards my CCNA using INE, you dont teach networking but I still watched a few
    Of your vids because of my interest on infosec.
    I do agree, this is a specialized field and not easy to break into. Also I like the “focus on one thing” message.
