    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.

    Interesting to see a video like this. KZread 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.

    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.

    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. Thank you for the video and the work you do!

    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.

    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'm learning what I can at my own pace, but I understand this is a goal that im going to have to invest multiple years of my time before I even get my foot in the door.

I think a reason most content creators have large followings is they put out a lot of content in a short span of time which gives an illusion of competence.

    Your point about the renaissance and how important it is to specialize rather than generalize everything to learn nothing hit home for me and in it is one of my biggest struggles, when it came to me actually studying I would try to get one thing and jump to another trying to cram stuff in but many times never understood it (this specially happened when I tried to get into Python and could guess why I thought i would get into "learning" that). 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. I do admit I had fallen privy to those type of trendy channels in fact it was partly because of those articles and promotional videos that I even gotten a interest in cybersecurity in the first place. That being said great video and points brought up here.

    Thank you so much for this video! I have been trying to figure out a way to get into the field and this is exactly how I felt without being able to put the right words to it. This sounds a little strange, but because I played competitive video games at a high level I sort of understand the nature of competition between humans. And the way I look at cyber security and pentesting is exactly that, competition between humans. So when I would hear all this stuff about how easy it is to get into the field etc etc, it never sat right with me.

    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 KZread 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.

    From my point of view, hacking is not a quick easy win, where you learn something or solve some challenges. Hacking is much more about being curious, able to search, discover and learn rapidly, but at the same time dive into what you are investigating. it's not about remembering everything or knowing everything (impossible), it's about being fascinated by what you are doing and don't follow "trend" blindly

    I have to admit I was that person looking for that rush and looking for the exciting things. I know I need to improve my skills. My issue is that I have trouble learning through just reading and watching things. I have always learned better by doing or through socializing and I haven't been able to really connect with anybody to work together on this. I know those are excuses but I was so use to a classroom environment it's been a hard adjustment. Thank you for the honesty I am working in IT but wanted to get into security. I have a mind for systems and looking for the social and structural flaws in the environment itself for red team work. The more abstract concepts that aren't as tangible are the info I struggle with the most. Sorry for ranting a bit, your video got me really thinking about that stuff.

    I want to head more to the IT/AI stuff in the future since I’m not interested in other jobs and don’t like the pay, and even though cyber security is not the main direction I’m looking for, it’s still cool to look at and see how y’all code and deal with certain programming situations. Not sure if this knowledge is important right now for my type of field (ofc it is if you want to defend or attack a system), but still sometimes better then just me playing games all day lol. Currently finished a year of school, about to head to a really important year that has nothing to do with programming (Or maybe a little, out of 90% of the normal school subjects.) which is why I’m spending my summer not completely productive and just enjoying my time before I go into chaos. Don’t worry ofc I will take some days to be prepared. I have a lot of worries, even including language knowledge as I’m doing this not in my country, but since I was able to make it out of last year, I know I can also do this year with the same hard work and dedication I had. It will be harder but I’ll be better. And even after finishing school I still need to know where I’m going after the qualification. Wether I trust certain people with my path or I build my own path and foundation. Still need to figure stuff out when summer is done.

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

    Great video! Love it how you said "If a video only helps one person, that's it, that's all I care about". That to me speaks excellence. I remember Deadmau5 (music artist) saying something very similar, he makes music because he loves it, not because of fans per-say. Regarding focusing on one subject, and Cyber Security essentially being many fields coming together. Could you expand on this? Such as, have you experienced that it's easier and better to focus on one subject at a time, such as networking, then the next subject? Or would you say it's okay to studied a few subjects at a time (as per how school, college, universities work)? Great video, will watch your other videos again, and more too. Quite enjoy going back to videos I've seen, as it helps soak information in, reiterates what you're teaching and such.

Others, are in it because its sexy, attention-getting, and if you are handy with a computer you can get down the road without being caught. But in the end, when all that is left is the hard work and self-discipline to gain competency. I am always learning from your videos.
