Hi David I have a problem I suspect my neighbour has been hacking my WiFi security camera for a year now.. and now my WiFi has been getting disconnected a few times now I use an iPhone 6s recently updated. To go online KZread check my mining ect ect recently they have been now showing my WiFi network names but on their hidden network I proved this to myself by using aircrack to un hide their hidden network and link their bssid to the hidden network showing my network names I've used for months now . I questioned them recently and they flat out denied it but I have photos proving it showed them too and still denied it . I know my bssid and now my neighbours hidden bssid . I have 2 networks on my router 1 hidden and 1 not the one thats hidden is wpa2 aes and the not hidden is on wpa3 personal. Today they showed many of my network names I could only unhide a couple at a time using a laptop and 2 WiFi cards . My top question after this rant is if my neighbours bssid shows my hidden network name with in their hidden WiFi does that defo confirm they are using kali linux I only have 2 neighbours and in the middle of a field no traffic really close by

@justaman5418

Also like to add is their a possibility that they had their router hacked by someone mobile and a laptop . That keeps messing with their WiFi showing my hidden WiFi names on multiple hidden networks. On their router. Or is it possible a hacker could ssh to their router miles away doing this? Is it possible for the remote hacker to view my networks from the person in question from their router I don't think a router can actually see other WiFi networks near by am I correct only a WiFi card or USB WiFi dongle ect could do this proving my neighbour is hacking my WiFi and showing all my hidden networks I've used over 4 months at least .sorry for the rant i.m 51 years old and have decades of pc experience mac Windows Linux and for 4 years solid use of kali linux and recently kali purple which I need to study more and experiment with I'm not really a hacker and not interested being a hacker more a tool to understand how kali works and what I can do to lesser my chances of being hacked local or proximity.. many thanks David great channel been a fan for a while now always watching your videos has helped me in so many ways such a deep deep subject with many levels of complexity

I was really impressed by the fact that a person with no traditional education in tech is miles ahead of techies with traditional degrees.Subscribed to her channel.She has my respect !

I am yet to see any hands-on person with degree(s) in tech who didn't learn stuff on their own. The university is mostly for networking and bragging rights. From the Ivies to any "University of Nowhere", if one doesn't learn stuff themselves they can't do stuff after obtaining that expensive piece of paper.

Incredible! Makes me to continue to work in IT! When I was a teenager, I was look up on notepad commands that from tricks to dangerous code to understand how it work. Plus, I still have the book of how computers work in hard copy and PDF along with how to install and operate earlier versions of Kali Linux Edit: Thank you David and keep it up!

I agree. I get experience by being more "hands-on" from my own "guinea pig" lab setup, via H1 Bug Bounty platform, etc in my own company. I also agree with how she works with another company as META, but also has her Security Researcher stuff she does on her own. I do my Security Researcher stuff part of the time, while the regular job as a Field Technician I'm allowed and privileged to work with much emerging technologies from Amazon. I relate to her and both of you resonate with me. Even though I had a degree from college in IT, my experience and knowledge from Security Research came from "hands-on " setup of my own devices (ie phones, laptops, tablets, etc) to practice on via Kali, course and knowledge from IEEE , but now also incorporating A.I. in my efforts. Live the interview, questions and answers💻🤓👍🏾.

Hi David, I have been your subscriber for quiet long and loved watching it. Gained a lot of knowledge. After watching Farah's interview. I would ask the same question which you asked, a person who doesn't have any knowledge in Cyber Security, what are the steps he/she should take to a good job in cyber security. Doing Graduation (MSc in Cyber Security) at the moment but believe me I'm not going to name the Uni, not a proper track has been taught or any information I have gained to get a job in Cyber Security. Honestly a proper guideline is not available, it is so much scattered now. Please, I will be waiting for your answer if you can speak to Farah again or any point based guidance. Many thanks.

Fantastic talk!

She is cool (kewl) you have to fight for what's right (keep up the good work)

Even with the shortage, you couldn't get a job😮?

Just FYI the reason people say you shouldn't do unpaid internships isn't primarily for the person working, although it is also for them. But it hurts society by taking away opportunities for less wealthy but more capable people. It's more a problem of the organization "offering" the free internship. The person who takes the free internship of course benefits, if they ensure they are getting skills and connections, but they might be edging someone else out who is actually more deserving of the role and just not wealthy enough to afford to not make money. Sounds insulting to her, not intended, but that is the root problem with anyone offering or accepting free internships.

What type of wired earbuds would you recommend?

11:45 for any Gen Z'er who doesn't want to be a "content creator", you can get a job via other means as well. Just start with IT Servicedesk in a large organisation and get acquainted with the cybersec team there. They will start to notice that you know how to handle cybersec tickets and when to resolve them yourself or when to inform that team.

Why ethical hackers don’t get paid as much as software engineers?

@gottabepablo

22 күн бұрын

My only guess is that most software engineers create digital assets whereas Ethical Hackers tell you where you need to invest more time and money to bolster security and from a companies perspective, they aren’t too willing to invest in that as much. Just my take and it’s not worth much lol
