14:10 uhh... DoS and DDoS do not involve hacking into the server at all - they may have landed a virus/trojan on a vast number of unsuspecting peoples computers to create a botnet to perform the DDoS, but you don't need to hack or gain access to the target at all, you just need a lot of controlled hosts to send requests to the server, even completely normal legit requests, faster than the server can handle that much traffic. It's the exact same thing as when a website goes down because too many people visit it at the same time, just instead those people are bots. Please be careful when defining terms like this - saying that DDoS requires hacking the target first is completely wrong and inaccurate. And I'm not even being pedantic about hacking which is actually defined as just computer programming without any security context at all, originally what people think hacking is was defined as cracking - as anyone breaching computer security is generally also a programmer, they're also hackers. Media and pop culture latched on and redefined hacking as what cracking originally referred to with cracking being slightly redefined to relate to bypassing copy protection on software rather than the original definition of cracking security barriers. As much as I dislike it due to the history and entomology, language is defined by redefinition thus while the argument about the term hacking was valid 25 years ago when I first saw it argued, by now it's admittedly pedantic. But saying DDoS requires hacking into the target is like saying I have to break into your email account to be able to send you tons of spam from tons of addresses.

Government: "You can't delete browsing history" Mustafa: **uses private browsing mode** Others: "Damn he is so clever that he found a loophole" Bruh!! Incognito mode?? doesn't everybody knows that??
I just found your channel really like you dark web documentary content , I really like the Ashley Madison video and this one about the 16 year old hacking into the CIA servers ! Keep up the good work dude !
"You're a teenager with a unique set of skills far beyond what most your age have. You're given a choice; continue being a typical teenager who plays video games or hangs out with friends or use your skills to make history as the teen who outsmarted the entire U.S. government." Yeah, seems about a normal Tuesday, I remember when I leaked everyone's locker passwords and caused upheaval as everyone scrambled to change their locks as fast as possible.
saying he hacked the cia is misleading. he didn't access anything that wasn't publicly available or have control over the website, he just sent a botnet to flood the servers and make them go down. same thing kids were doing on call of duty 10 years ago but on a larger scale
What I will say about the ending portion of this video is that your punishment for a crime should be preventative, not punitive. If someone no longer is of any danger of committing a crime, keeping them locked in jail is a bad thing to do. There are people who can't be rehabilitated, but there are also people who can be, and Mustafa (if what he's doing is already considered wrong, which... hacking into the CIA for the lulz is probably wrong) is someone who can be rehabilitated, as is shown. Let him live his life and provide good to the world as opposed to locking him up in prison when he's no longer a threat.
@VisualVenture *Excellent video! Thanks!* A lot of this info was new to me and it's very interesting. I had only heard of that guy Hector aka Sabu because he does a podcast called _Hacker and the Fed_ with the agent that arrested him.
@visualVenture While I appreciate the effort you put into this video I feel the strong need to correct you at 14:12 you stated the "DDoS attack begins by hacking into the website then flooding it with data" you do NOT hack into a website to start a DDoS there is no need TO hack into a website if you just plan to launch a DDoS...Please in the future for stories like this which are amazing and I love hearing about this stuff make sure your using the appropriate terms and accurate information its little things like this that drive me away from content creators instead of making me want to stay.

In the US, the misdeeds of minors (< 18 years) are sealed and not to be divulged, ever. Those under 18 can't be tried as an adult, with rare exceptions (e.g. hatchet murder.) IDK the UK law. How does it work there?
Pretty similar, you have juvenile court and young offenders instututes for people under 18, cant comment much more as Ive never had much trouble when I was young. Theres also community service, curfews and other punishments that dont involve going to a young offenders instutute.

Edit: reading through the commwnts I'm seeing a lot of people with similar gripes on some of the technical explanations you offered. Probably would be a good idea to clarify these different explanations in a comment or at least cite sources with proper explanations on some the more technical stuff in the video description.

Just a minor correction: Emigrate/immigrate generally refers to leaving a country for another country. Puerto Rico is part of the U.S., as is New York. Therefore, he moved from a territory to a state, but never emigrated, as both places are under U.S. control.
20:09 you meant prosecution, as the defence refers to the defendant which in this case means mustafa and in regards to his sentencing it was 20 months not 20 years. Good video overall, it kept my attention through with the way you told this real life event.
21:26, they can still check it. he forgot this but the fbi can get in contact with his internet provider and ask for history logs. even if its on a private browser or not, itll always show up on the routers history.

DDoS doesn't require any kind of granted access into the server its just like sending millions of cars into a city and flooding the city with vehicles , its not " hacking"
Embarrassing misunderstanding of the subject matter shown here. A DDoS is not hacking in any way, shape or form. A web server can only handle so many requests for pages or data at a time. If a site is able to handle, for example, 10,000 active requests at a single point in time, and 10,001 people attempt to access the site at the exact same moment, the very last person will see the site is unreachable. No hack has taken place, and the site is very much available for the first 10,000 users. A DDoS attack simply takes advantage of these limitations in bandwidth by hitting a server with as many nonsense requests as possible so that the page appears to be down for any legitimate traffic. In our earlier example of 10,000, if DDoS software is used to flood the server with 10,000 (or more) requests, the site will appear to be down for anyone else who attempts to view it. Again, no hacking whatsoever has taken place. The site is still there, and has not been infiltrated at all. This was not the only aspect of the video that was inaccurate or portrayed incorrectly. For dramatic flair or because of a lack of knowledge on what’s being discussed? I’d say the latter, but potentially both.
When I was a teen another teen I knew who also happened to be 16 hacked and managed to log in into the CIA. He didnt think it would work but it did and as soon as he did he logged off and kept quit about. Well guess who showed up a few days later at his house? He was given a stern warning not to do it again.

Just a minor correction: Emigrate/immigrate generally refers to leaving a country for another country. Puerto Rico is part of the U.S., as is New York. Therefore, he moved from a territory to a state, but never emigrated, as both places are under U.S. control.
Neither a hero nor a Villan but human.
Video was put together so well
love the narration and presentation, subscribed!
Fun fact: Mustafa means "The Chosen One" in arabic so it definitely checks out with this guy.
If a kid starts to wonder how computers work, pull the plug. It's like when an AI starts to realize it's an AI. It's not gonna end up well.
mindblowingly cool stuff. Thank you for this docu
Sabu is the type of bloke to say Mimimimimi, Gwooooooh, mimimimimi while sleeping.
20:09 you meant prosecution, as the defence refers to the defendant which in this case means mustafa and in regards to his sentencing it was 20 months not 20 years. Good video overall, it kept my attention through with the way you told this real life event.
21:26, they can still check it. he forgot this but the fbi can get in contact with his internet provider and ask for history logs. even if its on a private browser or not, itll always show up on the routers history.
Props for the SSL6000E plugin in the background
🙌🏼. Was a music producer before UA-cam haha
@@VisualVenture mastering engineer myself. Always wondered why creators don't bother to EQ or compress their narrative/vocal content. McDSP Futzbox is an awesome one you would find use out of at some point.
3:14 "The school thought I was trying to blackmail them."
Uhhh WTF?! What is that school hiding? Only an organization with major skeletons in their closet would react like that. The natural assumption would be that he wanted to change his grades.
Someone needs to investigate whatever school he went to.
This is legit the exact same as watch dogs/ dedsec, such a cool watch and never knew this was a thing
Underrated channel.
People aren't genius, or child prodigy.
They are just very dedicated and passionate about something, that is what sets them apart.
The video was pretty dope and engaging well done
NEW VISUAL VENTURE POST !!
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
It sounds like a superhero origin story? Nah, lol. That's the f'n opening scene of the movie 'Hackers' with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Lee Miller 🤣
10:45 lmao world of war craft account is crazy
congrats having 300K subs bro
Why do I find myself rooting for the hackers?
Because governments kept fu*king us and hid things from us. We are tired of it and need someone to expose them
I do
Because the government sucks
hello! i'm a new subscriber and i really enjoy your videos but i was wondering if there would be any way you guys would consider uploading youtube subtitles to them for better reading!
DDoS doesn't require any kind of granted access into the server its just like sending millions of cars into a city and flooding the city with vehicles , its not " hacking"
I always enjoy watching your videos, i find them very interesting😃
“They prefer a life in the shadows”
… goes to a public protest with a distinctive face mask lmao.
That math teacher analogy made me realize I was getting ddosed everyday in college
Embarrassing misunderstanding of the subject matter shown here. A DDoS is not hacking in any way, shape or form.
A web server can only handle so many requests for pages or data at a time. If a site is able to handle, for example, 10,000 active requests at a single point in time, and 10,001 people attempt to access the site at the exact same moment, the very last person will see the site is unreachable. No hack has taken place, and the site is very much available for the first 10,000 users.
A DDoS attack simply takes advantage of these limitations in bandwidth by hitting a server with as many nonsense requests as possible so that the page appears to be down for any legitimate traffic. In our earlier example of 10,000, if DDoS software is used to flood the server with 10,000 (or more) requests, the site will appear to be down for anyone else who attempts to view it. Again, no hacking whatsoever has taken place. The site is still there, and has not been infiltrated at all.
This was not the only aspect of the video that was inaccurate or portrayed incorrectly. For dramatic flair or because of a lack of knowledge on what’s being discussed? I’d say the latter, but potentially both.
Bro really pulled up with the "I have travelled the universe to find a worthy rival that can match my power"
i love your vids they are soooooooooo entertaining
you gained a new sub !
14:40 The example is really not needed and giving me PTSD bro
he was a child and the adults in charge were incompetent and vengeful, more power to him.
Dude this is worthy of being a spy movie
CONGRATS ON 300K!
He looks like, Harry Potter in hacker world.
You’re the chosen one 😂
When I was a teen another teen I knew who also happened to be 16 hacked and managed to log in into the CIA. He didnt think it would work but it did and as soon as he did he logged off and kept quit about. Well guess who showed up a few days later at his house? He was given a stern warning not to do it again.
Jesus, it's like my grandma is telling an internet story 😂😂
as a Tunisian who lived through that time period I find it very fascinating lol
i appreciate how caked the superhero is in the intro
bro is a continental level threat
It gives me goosebumps seeing the days of tunisian revolution i was a teenager at the time and recall being amazed at what was going on
Really interesting stuff
6:50 BEN Ali fled to saudia arabia not syria
The visuals 🤩
bro was hacking websites at the age of 9😭
Exact,y like how💀💀
@@Theuncletoeticklingtoddler Children are not stupid. It is society that wants to treat them as such.
The websites when he was 9 I's very weak than now
"If you can't defeat your enemies befriend them"
He isn’t a villain he was a curious kid that wanted to do what a lot of people want to do but can’t
It's crazy a 8 year old guy knows how to hack websites while I'm here struggling to type Hello world....
