- It's so easy to get caught in a cycle where all you do is learn and you never manage to get hacking. In this video I'll tell you why learning too much can be a bad thing, how to get out of the cycle, and also give out some motivational wisdom to get you hacking.
Did you know this episode was sponsored by Intigriti? Sign up with my link go.intigriti.co... I'm so pleased with everyone's positive response to the Intigriti sponsorship and I'm so pleased you folks are finding bugs and even finding your first bugs! Thank you for being awesome!
By the way, I am back to making videos! This is the first regular video with a dark theme and I'm going to go with a Wednesday upload. Let me know if you have any comments about that!
Here are the links to things I talked about this week

I really believe you're one of the bridges between the gap for many of us that are struggling to make a career or get something out of Bug Bounty.
Being able to make content that is REALLY easy to understand just show the deep level of understanding that you have in this field.
Keep going, someday you will also see the rewards of give some much back for the community.
My aim with every video on my channel is to be the resource I wish I had, when I felt like "here's how to pop a basic XSS" just didn't meet what I needed, but neither did here's a super complex bug I found part 36. I was fortunate enough to have mentors, but not everyone has access to mentors, so I knew I wanted to be that mentor!
I agree, she definitely is that bridge.
Thank you very much Katie I can't believe this content is from over two years ago and it's still very valuable and valid
The issue is which techniques to apply to the correct bug. I have a lot of books I read and play with THM,HtB and other learning sites
i actually needed this video more than i realized, thank you!
I have to say this Katie, I have checking out videos and videos on Bug bounties, but the knowledge you share and emotion and love you have for the craft is simply amazing. I cannot stop watching your videos. Every video gives more inspiration and more knowledge to learn something else. Thank you Katie for such amazing content, keep up the good work, you will definitely be rewarded.
Much needed video.... I only learn ( I just think I want to learn more...) & never practiced.... Thanku for opening my eyes
Those words for hacking on a public platform are simply amazing. Thanks Katie :)
Really thank you that really motivated , I was just hovering around just learn everything and I don't how to start ,this really helps a lot and I'm going to start today, what ever it's I'm just going to do it
I really loved the way you simplified basic bugs that one can find. Love your way of explanation. Keep it up for us. Lots of love!!
Thanks, will do! I know my videos are on the longer side but I really hope that I manage to break them down and build them back up for you!
I'm confused with things from last 8 days asking my friends how to manage learning and hunting thank you so much for this video thank you❤️❤️❤️
Thanks a lot Katie for pushing me to start, you're so motivating....!!!
Your talk just made my day tnks Katie , hope to see you in person for thanking you ✌️✌️
Thank you for this video. It's really good and more useful to me. Your a good motivator
Thank you so much for this video! I've been spending a lot more time learning than actually hacking these days. And it's easy to fall into this pitfall because it gives you a false sense of productivity. I'm really inspired by your work.
You're very welcome! Honestly 100% this you've expressed it really well, you feel productive and like you're learning but you're not becoming a better hacker, just really good at learning
Tbh I was stuck for about 4 months
I really needed this video
Thanks!:-)
Note myself:
* It is totally ok to fail. You won't find something maybe but it worths it.
* How do I transition: START ** NOW. Just do it.
* DO NOT TELL YOURSELF YOU WILL HACK TOMORROW OR THE DAY AFTER.
* DO NOT PUT IT OFF UNTIL "YOU ARE READY". YOU WILL NEVER BE %100 READY.
* DO DOT TRY AND LEARN EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU NEED TO LEARN.
You made me realize something. This is true on the defensive side too. I had a Masters degree and Security+ certification before my butt ever hit a chair in a SOC. I remember feeling soooo dumb my first few weeks. The guy who trained me showed me some tools and log file locations and would sit there while I researched. I remember asking him how he knew what rabbit hole was worth going down. And he said it depends on the exploit, source, target etc... but you get a feel for it after a wile. And he was correct. A year later I was sitting with confused junior analysts diging through the most random things while I would see a small bit of code and know exactly where to go, but the Junior analysts needed that exposure, to go down those rabbit holes and not just be hand fed each answer because there are so many possibilites. We wouldn't leave them hanging, of course, if they were truly lost; but they just needed to give it an honest try in order to really figure it all out.
Oh my gosh I've never been so inspired lol! You nailed this video!
Your content really motivate me in the long term, you are awesome!
You can do it!
Stok and you with some motivation on the same day !. Loved it !
STÖK is an inspiration to us all!
its been a while that i am learning stuff, just wanted to jump right into the pool of bugs & guess what your video pops up !
BTW Thanks for ENERGY !
And Good Luck To Everyone who are just getting started :) cheers !
Ending music
Super content Kathie, I needed to hear this. Thanks so much..🙏🏾
You are so welcome! I needed to hear this too!
Never had I needed something more in my life, and not known till I got it. Cheers, and thanks a lot!!
What an amazing video!!!
That's what all we needed, really, a huge thanks @InsiderPhD
!!!
Great content! Keep it up!
as a beginner that helped me alot thank you so much for this awesome video i really needed to hear it
This is exactly what I am finding....thank you so much!!! Love your content and that dark theme too(I also voted)..!!!!!!!
Glad you like it! It's a little more work but I know some of my videos were causing eye strain so well worth it so that it's more accessible for everyone!
@@InsiderPhD 🥰🥰🥰
And this is what I have been missing, no matter how much I have been trying to learn the part I have been missing is this. Thank you for this video.
Great video! Keep up the great work!
This was so encouraging and helpful beyond words. Thank you
Always quality content! Thank you Katie!
Bless! 🙏 thank you for enjoying it!
Super motivating, amazing and just the video that i needed!☺️
Great video. I'm often quite disappointed how rarely a system("/bin/sh") is just sitting there, waiting for me in the real world 😢😁
You and me both! I'm waiting to see a webshell in the wild :(
I'm just starting out in hacking and coming from a software and electronics background. This whole world is super big and intimidating at times. Just going through PortSwigger's curriculum right now and starting to do those labs.
okay, i will do so, Got Burp set up, followed along with the 18 videos and playing around with yahoo , changed search parameter following video felt great.
WOW! this video is just so POWERFUL! Thanks a lot!
Thank you, You awesome, im stuck at learnin' ima go out there and start hacking and test.
Thank you! This is what I need right now.
i have been following u for a couple of weeks and the content that you are posting is really helpful.........its helping me to get back in the way thankx a lots
New to your channel. I subscribed right after I watched this video. I love your honesty and appreciate your content.
Thanks! Looking forward to watching more of your channel 🙌
what is there to dislike in this video, one of the best video to explain the situation of learners. i dont know wth is their reason to dislike i hate these kind of peoples :(
You can't make everyone happy! And that's okay, I will be fine without them :)
An InsiderPhD video a day keeps you motivated the right way.
The Cyber Mentor brought me here. Your channel is awesome.
Thanks for coming! I hope you enjoy my content :)
Really needed this, starting to watch now! Portswigger academy is amazing, both learning and labs.
It really is! I have enjoyed some of the labs and their resources end up being some of my sources when I go to collect further reading for videos!
You are more than a Hacker!!! Perfect Motivation 💯💯
You are great Kate, thanks a lot for motivation
Thank you so much!
This is my first comment I have been following your video for a long time and I have find your video's very helpful for me.
Since I have been in the learning trap.
Thanku
Thank you for commenting on my video
Thanks for the video. It has cleared many of my doubts.. I was in a same situation where thought to start hacking once I learned everything completely.
Glad it helped! I know bug bounty is tough but with perseverance you can do it :)
Very inspirational. Thank you.
my first (accepted) bug submission was so simple, I spent a month trying to build on it before a friend really pushed me to submit it.
It always will be, good job to your friend for recognising it and pushing you to submit it :) that's a good friends for sure :)
You are amazing, and thank you for the inspiration. I signed up for integrity via your link, thank you for the encouragement, I really needed to hear that.
Wish you amazing success, and awesome bug hunts :)
Thanks for the motivation👍🏽
This video was very helpful, just like all of your videos are! Thank you so much for giving your experience back to the community!
Thank Katie😃😄😃 for explaining the Gap between learning and hacking , I have been struggling in that for long time !
Happy to help!
Thank you, Katie for opening my eyes I was just learning and was not implementing the things it makes thing hard for me to remember :)
Thank you very much for this!
alot of thx katie ❤️❤️❤️
Getting started with bug bounty hunting is like putting something together without instructions. Hoping someone posted video on how set everything up. Waste time is piecing all scattered information.
Seriously i want you to be my mentor
Aww thank you I am definitely not good enough yet to mentor anyone! But there are so many people in bug bounties who are!
@@InsiderPhD But I couldn't find anyone, seriously I have been learning for 4 months and yet don't know how to start or I get confused.
I found my first bug after watching your IDOR videos. It was a dup. 😭
But then I for a 2nd IDOR that leads to ATO and... I don't know the results yet.. prob another dupe. But..the facts are the facts. I've found 2 bugs so far. And no one can take that away from me. Start hacking peeps.
this video is one of the best thing happened in this lockdown for me . thnx
Glad to hear that! I hope you've been doing okay with lockdowns, bless🙏 it's been hard on a lot of people!
And what about always being on the "applying" side and throwing random things at webapps until it breaks? For me sometimes its the opposite, sometimes tutorials and writeups are really taxing on my energy and focus (except for your content, its very digestable and to the point), whereas a more hands on approach feels more fun and engaging, even if I end up learning one thing after several hours lol
That's awesome! That's exactly what you should be doing, always focusing on applying and practice. I ALWAYS learn better by doing and experimenting, you should see my vulnerable code directory when I find a new bug I always replicate the vulnerable code to 1) improve my code review skills 2) to experiment with a bug on my own terms!
goosebumps!! really happy to come across this video. hunting starts now>>>>>>>>>>
Good luck! You got this make trying a regular part of your learning experience!

You can do it!!! I believe in you :)
Thanks
you got me. I do ctf and hack the box. But when it comes to bug bounty I don't even touch the lap I don't still why? Looks like I'm fucked up here in bug bounty
thanks this is great advice
You are a philosopher
amazing talk!!!
With this occupation you always think you don’t know enough
.
And in the end it is so
You may not everything, but you probably know enough, for the moment
@@InsiderPhD ;)
Watched your video, went to hackerone, spent ~4-5 hours and found my first IDOR! Not sure if I gonna get paid, but anyways emotions and experience are priceless. Thanks for motivation!
Thank you for this
this vedio Anyone should watch it every day with every depression with every single moment 💕🤝
quick question. which university you attend and what course?
your contents are absolute gem!!
PhD at Cranfield University :)
I have a BSc in CompSci from Salford Uni
Never did a MSc
@@InsiderPhD planning to do masters in cybersec in uk. Any advice?
There are two great websites for postgrad stuff in the UK www.findamasters.com and www.findaphd.com a lot of UK courses are conversion masters (your degree isn't in CS/Cyber security) so just check 'advanced' is likely what you're looking for. Don't just focus on the big universities, a lot of the smaller ones can offer better teaching because they have fewer students. Look at the research the university teaches and see if that lines up to what you want to pursue. If you're looking for funding www.postgraduate-funding.com this can be a huge help!
Thank you very much , great content , now i will go and start hacking ...
You are awesome, thank you!
Exactly! Labs don't help you because your not looking at real code.
