Hello David, I recently started following your content, and I'm really enjoying what you're providing. Your teaching style, explanations, and words always keep me enthusiastic about learning. Thank you. I would like to ask you a question. After completing the CCNA course available on your KZread channel, does it qualify me to move on to the CCNP course that you also offer on your channel?

Great video!! I’m going to follow this road maps this is what I want to do, as a 30 year old in need of a career change. (I have been doing physical labor and body is feeling it). Thanks for the great guests, and even more so the inspiration you bring that a 30 year old man can make the changes into this field. This will be no easy feat but I’m very dedicated to make a change. I truly believe finding your videos has been the blessing I needed.

I don't now. I went to school for programming back in the day when you were lucky if you got 2 disk drives to do the floppy shuffle. Machine and assembler languages were tough back then. I can only imagine what it's like now. I was way better at C++. Still, if you don't use it, you loose it. And we had compilers. Ugh. No "environments". You wrote the code then you had to compile the program. You had to debug it yourself and hope "trace" or "debug" helped you.

With C++ you had to search through all of the brackets to find the one you messed up on. Good thing the programs we wrote weren't horrendously huge.

Hi David, I understand most of the people you invite on your channel are usually from the IT world, I would be very interested to see someone from the OT or ICS (Industrial Control System) world. I am looking to get into OT Penetration Testing, while currently working as an OT Cyber Security Engineer, and would love to get introduction to the Controller (or PLC) pen-tests, a path for OT Security Enthusiasts and in general security in the industrial world.

Hi David another great video again! I moved into cybersecurity from a completely different industry and passed my ccna exam last week. Now the question in my mind is which certificate should I focus on, because the majority of such videos say "Which certificate should I get, CEH, OSCP or eJPT?" and the content of the videos contains information about how the exam is. However, I don't know what kind of job I should apply for after receiving one of these certificates. I think it would be helpful if there was a video about all job areas that could work in the field of cyber security.

Get CompTIA Security+ exam first. This certification validates your baseline skills in cybersecurity. To get career into cybersecurity, this is the recommendation.

I have absolutely 0 experience. GpT has accelerated my learning 10x. Started python and all I do is carry on a dialog with it asking questions as I work through the material it tailored for me to learn it.

Good job Mr David 👏

Great Video, lots of useful info

Hi David. This may sound weird. But can you make a video of different price points to invest in educational material and certs.. so let's say best training(courses, books, certs) under $1000 and maybe under $2500 or more) as a beginner how can get the best value from those price points assuming I only hand that to spare. Ofcourse this will then depend on your area of focus, that is offensive vs defensive but I think could help

I would love to see young hackers on your channel. We can relate better😊

So the PenTest is about remembering a structured way of hacking and known vulnerabilities, but it is really a joke because old school hackers don't use any of those methods except Nmap. My experience is looking for the unknown and taking everything apart piece by piece to find a way through it. Yeah, the methods do work that they teach, but that is exactly why I would never use them and look elsewhere. A lot of time and money for a test and badge that is worthless to an old school ethical hacker.
