It was a year ago that I watched that video, doing what I could to learn about how to get into the cybersecurity industry. I'd watch these videos while driving to a job I didn't want to do. Fast forward one year later: I'm not only still watching your amazing videos, David, but I'm also now working full-time as a security consultant. Unbelievable world we live in.
Huge congratulations Robert! So happy to hear that!
Well done! I'm in your position a year ago!
That's awesome.
How'd you do it? I'm currently 4 months into a help desk job and want to get into a soc position
@@Desertdolphin43 the way I did it isn't relevant because you can't replicate the career of another person. Learn how to impress other people. After that, just let the world know you want to become a SOC Analyst.
As someone beginning their journey in pen testing, I have watched a lot of people on UA-cam to learn from and Neal is definitely my favorite guy to listen to.
Very glad to hear that!
Sameeee
i would suggest thehackerish and tomnomnom
For the last year David has had so many great guest that disseminate so much FREE knowledge and advice! I'm thankful for both of you!
I always jump at the chance to watch you two go at it.
You feed off each other and I like how David can poke the right buttons to get Neal rolling and rambling.
Awesome content and a great message.
Hope you two continue working together.
Killing it with the 2022 uploads! Thank you so much again for the content and knowledge you’ve given your community! It’s good to see Neil again, too! See you in the next one! 🎉
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Always love Neal! watching him get on his soap box constantly truly a great guy! Thanks to both of you for all you guys do!
One of the best 50 minutes I've ever spent! Thank you for your passion to make these videos and connecting with such great people!
Excellent job as always, David! Thank you for updating this video for 2022.
I am watching this video 9 months late, as I am working in the kitchen of a restaurant and planning my future, thinking about my next step in IT. I clicked on this video regardless of it's subject, and it amazingly shed light on some matters that I was struggling with for a while, and now I literally know what to do to achieve my goals. Thank you David
Great interview with Neal, David! I especially like 15:32 about needing to learn TCP/IP. Great advice - it's the bedrock of many scans, enumerations, exploits...
Thanks for highlighting that!
Hi guys! I just wanted to say that I'm starting my studies on cybersecurity very recently and your first interview inspired me a lot and gave me such great free resources and tools that I can't thank you enough. I'm glad there is a second interview, thank you both for this!
Thank you David for yet another HQ content out there free! This means so much for people that are pursuing career in cyb-sec , including me.
Neal is fantastic guy deff. to speak with , tho you asked him right questions literally putting yourself in shoes of beginner! That helps a lot! Big big thanks to Neal and to you David!
This is the path to becoming a hacker. Follow the advice and change your life!

'LinkedIn networking - make your self "invisible"' is this a typo?
Hi David loved the video. Do you have the links for the resources Neil talked about around 37:40 about self assessment of your LinkedIn with a rubric? Many thanks. Love the video.
Excellent talking points from beginning to end. In particular at 13:59 , I really resonated with Neal's view on diving in on a topic to see what who know and don't know and then filling in the knowledge gaps as needed. Thanks!
Today is the big day 😀! Thanks so much David and Neal for seeing you and learning a lot today ❤️❤️❤️! Also the video editing is awesome.
It's always good to see Neal on the channel. Thanks to both of you for the insight.
David & Neal are the best combo on YT when it comes to discussing cyber
I can watch your videos without being bored all the time cause you guys teach a lot.
Very happy to hear that!
Thanks for these videos, I started learning with free content, I got my net plus and sec plus and been doing THM boxes, and just started the ine pentester student, and looking to get the ejpt and pentest plus as well. Now it's time for hackerone and trying to get a job in the industry. That seems to be my biggest mountain.
Great interview and definitely provided a tangible way to break into the industry!
Thanks for making all of these great content, David👍
Awesome content once again. Thank you for making this video possible! I'm confident I can get into this sector by the end of the year
The two of you inspired me to pursue my cyber passions. I started watching you guys at the beginning of 2021 and it has changed my life. So I just want to say thank you so much.
How fast before you were able to find a job?
@@bryantapia3101 he probably didn't. A lot of these videos are bullshit.
Thank you very much David and Neal for amazing guidance. Happy to watch the content and learn. God bless you all.
Thank you! Very glad you are enjoying the videos :)
This is a great video. I've been playing with computers and networks since I was 10. I've now learned kali comfortably, Metasploit and networks but I have no certifications to get a job in this area and really want to make a career change to IT, I found this video helpful. Thanks.
You guys are the best, it's so good to watch you. I'm studying for my CCNA thanks to you guys so thank you for taking me out of my comfort zone.
How did you see it before and what changed?
How?
@@walexhrist2305 Sorry! I'm not sure if I responded to the wrong post or the OP edited their original post. The post I was asking 'how' said something like "I used to view infosec like ABC and now I see it completely differently like XYZ"
Thank you for a great advice and a startup roadmap you don’t believe a 65+ year old man is benefiting tremendously from your content David and Neal
Hi are you watching these videos to get into cybersecurity?
I really appreciate this video. Security has been this grey area for me for the past few years while learning to become a developer. I was previously told it was too hard a field to get into, and rather focus on other things that were in immediate reach.
Thank you David for making this information freely available. I understand now that there are many ways to skin a cat.
Love this video. Thanks David and Neal.
Thank you David and Neal for guidance . Much needed..
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hearing about test anxiety is like a blessing. I swear no one else feels the same way I me when taking tests it's like as soon as I look at a test I blank on everything. Doesn't matter if I studied it for 2-4 weeks or knew all the questions before hand just get so blanked out.
This has been so valuable for. The way I learn is exactly the same. Dive into the deep and work out what I don’t know which is a lot. This for this vid
thank you so much for putting out such great content David... I've learned so much from you in the last couple of years
you are a godsend
This is the first infosec interview I sat 100% through in the past 4 months good job
When I saw the notification of the video I left everything and I start focusing, the video was great, thanks
Great tips! Thank you David and Neil.
David its been a year since I watched that video... it inspired me to get into cybersecurity. I have been knocking out course from a local IT school and it has taught me a ton. I mean I know port numbers, protocols, topologies and more. Thank you so much! I'm headed towards the OSCP but DOD needs or recognizes things like CEH from ECCOUNCIL just learning more. This is such a fun learning. Thank you thank you.
Great video! It would be interesting on doing a video on SOC analysts and how that could be a great stepping stone on getting into cyber. 👍🏻
I’m just starting this journey. I’m in school for an IT program and doing INE cyber security on the side. It’s so much information that I struggle sometimes but I’m creating a list I’m fuzzy on while doing that to seek more knowledge on it right after I complete these programs. Thank you so much for a path to start.
Chase KNOWLEDGE, not certs. I need that posted on my wall. It's so easy to get lost chasing the shiny accolades.
I love this video, it gives me clear ideas of how to start this I.T path. Thank you so much, it helps a lot 👍 😎
David,
I came to your channel from NetworkChuck's videos, and I must say that I find, based on this video being the very first for me, your content quality excellent (content as well as presentation). I also greatly appreciate the practical advice of Neal, whom also I'm going to follow now.
Thanks a lot.
Regards from Arnold Schwarzenegger's birth country 🙂
Thank you David for bringing this up, it really helps me.
I appreciate this video didnt have 100 ads like every other video Thank You
Great interview with Neil, thanks David!
Consume competent content!!!
Thanks again for an amazing video. You guys have some magic together it's just mazing. Cutting subjects for anyone to get motivated and fully understand.
Thanks for these videos. Very informative and great advice beginners like myself. I’m new to the world of IT/cybersecurity. Always found this field very interesting but life happens and got redirected. Now I want to start my journey in this world and really find this content very helpful. Thanks and keep up the awesome work. Also I really enjoy your team up with Neal. Love how he really dive in deep to give all the information he can and how you give those great questions newbie like me have. Thanks again
you are going to have a big problem getting into cyber security, its predominantly white field and white managers run the scene right now they want the minimal black and brown people to pass EEOC standards so if you are of latino or black descent you are SOL. I would look at other fields, there wont be equality until four decades from now.
Trying to set an account now on INE. I'll try tomorrow because the captcha is giving errors . I appreciate this video and links SO much . Thank you!
This has opened my mind big time. The time to start is to start now.
Thanks for this Collab again 🔥🙏🏽❤️💪🏽
Thanks David and Neal, your video has really shaped my way of thinking towards hacking contents!
Good advice. I have to do A+ and Security for my road map. I must spend two years learning in IT and then move on into cyber security.
Great information, I didn't see cybersecurity that way before but you guys have broken many seals for me. Thank you so much!
This video has some serious bro love
You are doing a Great job David.Keep Rocking!
Thank you! I'll do my best 😀
Thank you David and Neal. I am kinda that guy who is looking up to map the best way to get to the IT. The questions you are asking David gives me joy bcz I think those are questions that I have in my mind.
lol your videos and the guest you bring on your channel, always pump me up for my goal..! god bless you david..! ❤
This is possibly the best video I've seen on the subject yet.
Love the Mindset is everything Wall art!. Nice Video Once Again.
Great video David! Thank you!
Great info, thank you both for sharing these insights.
This video is a pill of success, nice job both of you!
I love that Neil dropped a few unpopular opinions in there. People wanna call themself "hackers" but completely lack the determination and problem solving capabilities to educate themselvs. If you guys think googling stuff is tedious, this job ain't for you ;)
Yes and I think its worth noting that this is a learned skill. I know for me I hated googling things in the beginning because it felt like I wasn’t doing things “authentically” or “organically” or something. Then I learned that It is an essential tool in a programmer’s and hacker’s toolbox. Now I am totally at home in the search bar. Getting past the annoyance of googling is just part of the process.
That's because most people get their idea of "hacking" from crappy movies and terrible television shows (looking right at you, CSI and similar shows). This leads them to believe that hackers are magical ubergods who are somehow plugged directly into the matrix and know literally everything with perfect recall who can execute that at the drop of a hat.
Crazy.
The most accurate depiction of hacking ever shown in popular culture is the movie War Games. You know why? It shows a young man sitting around in his underwear in the dark researching tedious, arcane information while his life passes him by just so he can figure out a weird puzzle.
First time visiting this channel and learnt many important thing.
Thanks for sharing this data.
Hey David, I really enjoy your video, it is always feels so professional watching your stream and videos. Thank you very much. You have our Support from 🇮🇳
Thank you very much Raj!
Bro india me kha se ho
after this video david i decided to get my AWS certification in the next few weeks then slowly start to do more CTFs on my own time and build up my resume so that hopefully i get my first cyber security job soon!
Thank you David I really appreciate you creating this videos
I watched the video with Neal a year ago. Took the advice to heart and starting preparing for the eJPT. Got the eJPT in June of last year, keep preparing and getting better. Did all the free stuff first. I start a job tomorrow as a pen tester with my dream firm. That’s real. Thank you for your content.
Huge congratulations Josh! So fantastic to hear that!
You got a job as a pen tester with only the eJPT?
Would did u use to study for it? I am preparing as well
I’m in my last year bachelors Cyber Security and really looking forward to finally start working in the field. Even though I know most of these things I still find Neal very refreshing. I never thought bug bounty hunting would be possible for someone with not that much real world experience/advanced web app hacking. But what he said was truly eye opening. Pentesting unpaid still gives you hands on experience and new insights in how I’m doing things and might even land you a bounty after trying. Amazing tip!
This is so inspiring. Thank you! : -)
Very best UA-cam channel. Very informative, thank you guys.
I have loved all the videos you two have done together
Those in college studying (or even after) Security+ is a good entry certification. If you want to go into government employment usually they want that on hand
I like that he said the A+, Network+, etc. don't necessarily have to be your first certs or starting point. This was the train of thought back when I started out in '05, but looking back he's absolutely right. You don't need to know how many pins the ISO has standardized some pin-out as to understand other concepts. I believe people should jump in where they find it comfortable, or in what aspect they enjoy the most. After all, this should be about enjoyment and the satisfaction of learning and mastering.
I've always told people to stop memorizing arcane esoteric stuff like pin outs or whatever. If you need to know that info by heart you'll see it often enough that you automatically memorize it. If you don't need it that much, you won't remember it, and that's okay. You're better off understanding the underlying concepts and how to put those into play to figure out what you need to know.
Thanks for the great discussion you two!
Yeah David & Neal back at it again for another video 👍🏻Nice
Hopefully lots of content in 2022! 😀
This video was absolutely amazing! Hope there is a 2023 version! Going to go make wonderful linked in connections and focus on bug bounty over certs for now.
Love the video and the content.
Great Video David!
the bromance is strong. you guys are great. thanks for another enjoyable video :)
You both are awesome ... Thanks for creating such good and valuable videos.
15:05 Man this is EXACTLY what I needed to hear at this point in my journey. I'm aware of how much there is to take on which excites me. But some topics are more stimulating than others. Furthermore there are some that I know more or less about and must continue to piece them together/ fill in the gaps.
These types of video help a lot ❤️
thanks for sharing this video David, we are gifted to have you 😁
Another great video David
Tremendous interview, thank you both!! 🙏 I started learning approximately two months ago having no previous knowledge and are gripped on the topic and hands on experience so far, but having watched this interview I'm now questioning if I should continue in my quest. I'm in my late 40s and love new things that challenge me, but if as you say supply outstrips demand, then for someone like myself starting out so late in life and based on what Neal is rightly saying, then should I even consider ethical hacking/pen testing as an eventual career move?
Thank you very much for this insightful video! I have been trying to get into cybersecurity for the past year but seems to struggle about what to learn or what to start. This video opened up some of the information i need to unlock in order for me to fully delve cybersecurity, thank you so much David and Neal
Your videos are always 🔥top of the class very insightful and Neal is helpful always
Thank you Joseph! Glad you think so!
Thank David for this kind of video that inspire me a lot.
That’s by far the beat advice I ever received in my life.
Great knowledge sharing, thanks Neal and David 👌. Love from 🇮🇳 India.
Very insightful. Thank you:)
Tnx David and ur mate it's very very informative stream motivate me to start my cybersecurity journey from now
I just finished my university degree in computer systems and advanced networks, I've so far had two technical interviews, both of them have been 70% competency, the other 30% consist of questions listed below
1. what does your home network look like
2. explain to me what happens when you plug that ethernet cable into your computer/laptop
3.explain public key infrastructure
4. HTTPS is encrypted, how can you monitor something that is encrypted
5. what is cross-site scripting and how can it be mitigated
6. what is phishing and how can it be mitigated
just a little bit of info for those interested.
Also he is correct, since leaving Uni in the UK I dont think i have seen more than 1 or 2 pen-testing jobs in my city, compared to new SOC analyst roles almost every week
Awesome content. Really good to know that I don’t have to take the full path to start as in penetration testing.
AMAZING !!!!! tons of great tips for getting started ;)) thank you
I purchased a 2 year subscription to INE after I finished a masters degree in Cybersecurity. I plan on getting some certs.
I was waiting for it !
Hope you enjoyed the video!
@@davidbombal yeah ! Obviously ! But video is so long !
Thank you, David. I have been into IT for a year now pursuing a degree in Cyber Security(sophomore yr) and loving the challenges and thrills it brings, and about to sit for an HCIA R&S exam. I would like to inquire on what path I can follow after I attain it?
Your content is such eye 👁 opener I love it 😍 I’m seeing it like 5 times because it has so much things to take that’s I have to take notes and reverse the video many times because also this is not my primary language so I try to understand every word that you said and also opened an account in INE for me it was like a revelation…. Amazing 🤩 and I’m understanding some things that I wrongly take like “you have to have a certification” and that’s was not true… from now on I’m trying to understand and do something with my “hands on”
