Seriously, Mashable? You learn how to be a hacker when you study cybersecurity. You HAVE to learn how to hack in order to know how to defend against it. "Ethical Hacking" is the title of one of the classes in my Cybersecurity & Information Assurance college program. It's the same thing. You made this seem sinister.
Schismosis no shit. it's called offensive security anyone who's in the field could be called a hacker but only black hats are considered bad. go download a Kali distro and teach yourself...
Kali just contains the tools necessary, i.e. hashcat, JTR, wireshark, etc. 90% of those have windows binaries now. So anyone with a shitty windows laptop can learn
"Turns" as if hackers are criminals. Hackers are hackers, criminals are criminals. The definition of a hacker have become very warped from what it usually should define.
Wow Mashable. Pretty crappy story. You made legitimate cybersecurity courses taught at a college, where ethical hacking is the norm, and made it look criminal. You misrepresented an entire field of study to push some subpar clickbait headline.
ZJam yes they teach this in school, but this seems like a private short term school for those familiar with networking, programming, CS, and cryptography. Much like those coding boot camps.
As a student curious about software development and electrical engineering and hardware development, this class would be CRAZY HELPFUL in understanding how not to do things or to create a way of thinking that allowed me to be consciously aware of software vulnerabilities in systems I work on or work with. I would love to take this course or a similar course, oh my god, this is invaluable and I would love practical experience that allows me to develop more intelligent systems. This course would definitely elevate my standards in developing systems. This would completely change my perspective of security and that is inconceivably valuable. Someone contact me with a course like this, I know a dozen or two software developers that would love to take this course! I have a hard time finding a hands on course like this for cyber security, it's always theory based and I feel so disconnected with the material. I need a course like this.
Actually hackers, good or bad are attacked everyday. People get the view that all hackers a bad hackers and abuse anyone they see associating in hacking. I mention to any of my friends or any of their friends that I am currently in a cybersecurty course at Tafe, they loose their shit and get scared of me because I might "hack" them. It's stupid but it's the reality.
The reason for this may be very apparent. If the teachers do any netsec/pentesting outside of the classroom as a means for more cash there is a chance someone in a company will be able to identify them. Part of a pentest is social engineering, in which the "hackers" test staff out to see if they are compliant with standards. If the staff happened to watch this video and managed to identify these dudes as "hackers" then a regulations check on staff would be pointless.
Hi James, Ive stumbled upon you on TED talk and let me tell you something. YOU ARE AMAZING DUDE. I havent had such a good laugh in a very long time :).
I think that this is a good idea, teaching people how to hack. Not everyone is gonna use Hacking to cause harm. They will learn what hackers do and they will be able to defend themselves. I support teaching people how to hack
You cannot prevent hacking you can only make it more difficult. There are always flaws, bugs, weak links and vulnerabilities. The question is, "will the hacker find them?"
I joined a club at my university that did shit like this. It was really fun, we attacked and defended eachother's networks. I'm a moron and I could do it. My point is, it's not a big deal and the face blur is unnecessary
I was reading the comments, and it's so sad seeing so many people talking about a subject that they know nothing about, while pretending to know it all.
The OS on Mac is Unix, has long you have the knowledge to build from scratch a tool, you can use a Mac. Now Linux is like a open world of possibilities.
Hacking is so easy. All you need to do is enter "start counterstrike" and send in the cybernukes. If you're getting hacked, just unplug your monitor. Works everytime. No need for antivirus. Run Windows 24/7
just don't click on any suspicious links, only visit websites with (they're normally trustworthy), only download things you are 100% confident are what you want (e.g. video stock footage or online downloads you purchased etc) and don't connect to any wireless hotspots you can't identify. you should be safe from ~97% of possible hacking attempts.
OH MAN!! yea ur right, thats why im a hacker. strange thing is im actually OPEN for attacks. like litteraly, i disable all antiviral or firewall. my idea is, if somebody hacks me, i can learn from them. (Piece of My Mind)
you can learn from someone who "hacked" you after getting thru your 0 protection? what? like you could say that if you had your antivirus and firewall and whatever modification you made and then someone hacked you, yeah can learn from that and patch it, but not if you've got nothing. Also who tf says "thats why im a hacker."
You can hack on any computer. As long as you can access a bash shell your all set. MacOS runs Unix which has bash, also you could install a GNU/Linux distro as well.
River O'Luachra Yeah, that was what i was talking about. I mean not all the wifi adapters and IR capturing devices support mac, also the lack of a good number of ports can be a issue
FoxelVox I know but in a mac you cannot dual boot, and by using a virtual machine you cannot fully utilize the power packed by a machine, and this will definitely be a problem for password cracking. Even though mac now supports an egpu, a good gaming laptop in the price range of a macbook will be far more versatile and powerful for bruteforcing.
Looks like a "How to use Metasploit 101" course. I mean...Metasploit is all well and good but it doesn't always work...as anyone who has taken any class in the pentesting domain can tell you. If you can't at least modify the code of a pre-existing exploit to fit your target, or write your own if there's not one, you're definitely not a hacker. Changing options in Metasploit only gets you so far. If they're teaching the methodology behind finding attack vectors and good enumeration techniques, then fine. But again, it only gets you so far.
For everyone wondering why they blurred the faces there are two reasons, adding edginess and this comment i copied and pasted from one of my replies on this video: The reason for this may be very apparent. If the teachers do any netsec/pentesting outside of the classroom as a means for more cash there is a chance someone in a company will be able to identify them. Part of a pentest is social engineering, in which the "hackers" test staff out to see if they are compliant with net security standards. If the staff happened to watch this video and managed to identify these dudes as "hackers" then a regulations check on staff would be pointless since they would know. Hackers use social engineering to gain information from people. If a person is aware you are trying to gain that info they are on guard and wont give it to you.
Best way to protect yourself is to not get attention to yourself if you a employee for a job and a hacker looking to hack your job company they can target a virus on your phone and then wait for you to connect to the company wifi and then they can get more information that the way some employees can be arrest. some streamer can be swatted if a person know their location what hacker do they can find which video source you coming from and everybody can download this there a plug-in that tell you who you talking to there a UA-cam channel call that one guy where he guess people location on Omegle as a prank of course and he does censored their location too so everything is ok
I think while you try to obfuscate their face and voice, you can easily pixel match their faces to get a clear-er image and amp their pitch and db to receive their original voice.
there is no "hacking". you can't teach someone to "hack", unless by "hacking" you mean "use tools that others wrote". Hacking comes naturally when you have a very deep understanding of how systems work and you think unconventionally.
Ahmed Hattali MacOS is a derivative of Unix, like all linux operating systems. And by the way just because you have Apple hardware does not imply Apple software.
hacking can be done on several different ways. It also depends on what you define as "hacking".. Is it only hacked when full system control? Or maybe you glad with only browser hacking, just for facebook? Maybe you manage to hack your way into a ticketing system to be 100% sure of a (cheaper) ticket. Or you reverse engineer some gambling software and now you can better predict outcomes. Or sniff data. Or maybe someone can combine all of these and set up a major hack... it all depends. Yes you can be hacked only by accessing a link, and most of the times hackers will get full system control when downloading something fishy
a school for hacking??...hacking is prob one of the easiest things to do...its scripting and programing codes that confuse people...but those are mainly used to fix websites and block hackers...along with creating viruses
So, its a netsec class. Why is it secret, and why are the faces blurred? If they are teaching defensive cybersecurity, why would they want to hide? This makes no sense to me!
At first I was skeptical but found out that hacker dude is harmless. He helped me to remove some of my private content from a certain website and I became convinced that hacker are mostly good guys like you and I.
Geez. You are lucky man! I have been looking for a hacker to help me with something very crucial which I cannot discuss here. I wish I can find an ethical hacker soon.
Actually you can easily contact this dude since he can be trusted. You can ask him for anything an he won't let you down. Text him via 203-890-0039 and tell him it's from Audery.
hi mashable!may i know who these teachers r so that i can conect to them for online course but y r their faces blured ?what institute r they teaching in and their fees ,any clues ,plese reply?

Schismosis no shit. it's called offensive security anyone who's in the field could be called a hacker but only black hats are considered bad. go download a Kali distro and teach yourself...
or red hats and stuff
That's how media make money, making things look sinister and all. Basics. (Like pranks gone wrong or clickbait shit)
And the comments section is a competition of who can google the most hacking terms and try to make them make sense lol
Kali just contains the tools necessary, i.e. hashcat, JTR, wireshark, etc. 90% of those have windows binaries now. So anyone with a shitty windows laptop can learn
"Turns" as if hackers are criminals. Hackers are hackers, criminals are criminals. The definition of a hacker have become very warped from what it usually should define.
"The difference is self-service or public-service by merely providing information." lol
“I have software that prevents hacking” lol
Ikr lmfao
I did not understand your comment ti I heard the lady saying “I have software that prevents hacking” nonsense
Wow Mashable. Pretty crappy story. You made legitimate cybersecurity courses taught at a college, where ethical hacking is the norm, and made it look criminal. You misrepresented an entire field of study to push some subpar clickbait headline.
ZJam yes they teach this in school, but this seems like a private short term school for those familiar with networking, programming, CS, and cryptography. Much like those coding boot camps.
Exactly. The Cybersecurity field is trying hard to bring people in, not scare them away lol.
At least they're pumping this in The mainstream and letting normies know that people mostly learn this info for net security
true. all the KL tools can be used for either attacking or defending. they have no idea about how to differentiate black hat with white hat
It's a school right? why blurr the faces
right, and they even said they dont consider it a criminal act but faces still blurred xD
Actually it's custom for them. They aren't allowed to share their profession. I'm guessing since you know their profession, you can't know them.
hackers remain anonymous
How can you be that stupid. It makes the documentary more interesting that's all.
It's a secret school, duh
will this give me admin on *any* minecraft server?
Nick R I don't think so its too complex. It will take you years 😂
Bruh you in the wrong worlds
if you know how, you can
Just download hacks from google and hope not to get banned

Normies
Come on.... if there is a hacker watching this video, they will terrorize these people.....
I would if I was a hacker, to protect myself....
morphed voices, covered faces, stop please! You act like these guy are on America's most wanted list or something.
They just don't like their faces and voices to be shown.

0:03 i like how it says "cd Hacktools" lmao
theres nothing wrong with that? he keeps his scripts in a folder. The name is probably like that because it sounds cool =D
sorry.. but "hacktools" doesnt sound cool
@@Mxmnt i mean he compiled it into a chmod. And you can just write ./hacktools
@@zelven6109 😂😂😂 bruh.. you don't know basics of linux. Its a directory and your talking about permissions😂😂
@@debprasadbanerjee5005 lol yep, cd to change directory and he’s talking about file permission whit the $chmod command lol
Apart from hacking these schools need to teach ethical values which makes you a humane
lol they're just using metasploit and kali linux and they're like "oh we so sepecial ya"
Well, that's what most hackers use and let's be honest, it's not easy. After all they aren't teaching an exploit writing/programming class.
Hi James, Ive stumbled upon you on TED talk and let me tell you something. YOU ARE AMAZING DUDE. I havent had such a good laugh in a very long time :).

How do you know. Maybe they are secretly black hats. Or maybe thy don't want to be targeted by black hats.
I was reading the comments, and it's so sad seeing so many people talking about a subject that they know nothing about, while pretending to know it all.
He's showing them metasploit, and already patched exploits
already patched exploits can still often be used.
Tell me what their showing.
This class is literally a haven for future script kiddies
The OS on Mac is Unix, has long you have the knowledge to build from scratch a tool, you can use a Mac. Now Linux is like a open world of possibilities.

Hacking is so easy. All you need to do is enter "start counterstrike" and send in the cybernukes.
If you're getting hacked, just unplug your monitor. Works everytime. No need for antivirus. Run Windows 24/7

you should be safe from ~97% of possible hacking attempts.

uhmm theres really no software to prevent hacking
only to prevent viruses yes..
Firewall is like a condom
99% of the time it’s good enough
But There’s always that one percent chance you get knocked up

Hacking: It's about thinking for yourself. (form a CCC story in 2600)
If your pc files are lock for ransomware, just restore to a previous point, if you can sacrifice some files.
"Software that prevents hacking"
What?! Were they using a mac to hack??
You can hack on any computer. As long as you can access a bash shell your all set. MacOS runs Unix which has bash, also you could install a GNU/Linux distro as well.
* they we're using virtual machines with kali linux on their macs
Aye it works. Depends what you need to do, if you are doing wifi attacks you might run into issues but generally everything else will run fine in it.
River O'Luachra Yeah, that was what i was talking about.

Anonymous so damn ironic
Shakhus kj it's called a joke btw idk why u have to be so damn serous
Anonymous You didn't get why I called it ironic ?
It's because of your prof pic
Shakhus kj okey?
its ironic because you think you're a hacker, but want to learn how to hack. typical script kiddie.
I thought hackers were born by accidents. But they do school?

Where is this amazing place??
What are some of these tools hackers use?
Really I am interested in hacking
Which country I can learn hacking?
First we break your firewall,
Then we pay your "Software that prevents hacking" because hackers are very scared of that software.
I have a degree in computer science and software engineering, i spend most of my days hacking peoples email accounts and trolling.
does the sound has to be scary one always
I think it a good idea to show people how to hack I just hope there more positive hackers instead of negative hackers
Best way to protect yourself is to not get attention to yourself if you a employee for a job and a hacker looking to hack your job company they can target a virus on your phone and then wait for you to connect to the company wifi and then they can get more information that the way some employees can be arrest. some streamer can be swatted if a person know their location what hacker do they can find which video source you coming from and everybody can download this there a plug-in that tell you who you talking to there a UA-cam channel call that one guy where he guess people location on Omegle as a prank of course and he does censored their location too so everything is ok
Are all their students 12 year old xbox owners?
Smh
'i use firewalls and have tools on my computer which prevents hacking'
Laughing harder than i was with thr previous guy's statement
My CCNA class and messing around with Kali probably has taught me more than this class.
I think while you try to obfuscate their face and voice, you can easily pixel match their faces to get a clear-er image and amp their pitch and db to receive their original voice.
ever heard of Offensive-Security? OSCP? OSCE? Or the insane OSEE?
Back hlat hacking is such a taste of wime
I think that if someone REALLY want to get some information on you, he can do it more or less easly
Not really a headliner. Local university to me where I’m doing a masters degree in cyber security. Loads of universities offer these degrees
Right, firstly, the WannaCry attack was done by North Korea.
Secondly, why are their faces pixelated?

I want to meet a talented hacker
And learn from him
go to russia
You used to make really good funny videos, you were a comedian. You were unique. Now you're just another news guy.
That one girl that said she has a computer that prevents hacking, challenge accepted. xD
I taught Hackers use Linux/Unix not MacOs 🤣
Ahmed Hattali macos use a form of Unix, or he could just dual boot or VM Linux
Do you see them using anything other than a text editor on them. They have high powered back ends to send their code, information, for implementation.
Ahmed Hattali
MacOS is a derivative of Unix, like all linux operating systems. And by the way just because you have Apple hardware does not imply Apple software.
Ahmed Hattali installed kali on my mac hope you're proud😂
Where the class are teaching...i want to join in that class
What is the price for the course?
..Yet I have to go to normal school.
so its easier to learn code, then hack into something than punching someone in the head?
can you get hacked only by accesing a link? or you have to download something to be hacked?
Alexandru Alexandru both
yes when you click on link , your cookies are stolen and some technical stuff.
hacking can be done on several different ways. It also depends on what you define as "hacking".. Is it only hacked when full system control? Or maybe you glad with only browser hacking, just for facebook? Maybe you manage to hack your way into a ticketing system to be 100% sure of a (cheaper) ticket.

Yes you can be hacked only by accessing a link, and most of the times hackers will get full system control when downloading something fishy
I just have one question for you, do you like to go phishing? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Shellcode lol phishing is so fun.
IT's how it is, or is not used!
so where is this school and how much does it cost?
What’s the name of the school that teaches people how to hack?
What is the name and location of the school
Hackers and instructors should get the Death Penalty
can i get the links of the tools
For us every single day is Christmas.
a school for hacking??...hacking is prob one of the easiest things to do...its scripting and programing codes that confuse people...but those are mainly used to fix websites and block hackers...along with creating viruses
I'm actually scared. He wrote ls in the terminal ..
So, its a netsec class. Why is it secret, and why are the faces blurred? If they are teaching defensive cybersecurity, why would they want to hide? This makes no sense to me!
WHERE IS THIS SCHOOL ?
Do they have online classes
Not as secretive as the 2nd page of Google.
I knew this would be clickbait...I just wanted to make that joke.
where I can join
How do I contact them , I need to get trained
how do I sign up for a course like that?
Funny how her friend agrees waving her head like they know what they're talking about.
Where do I sign up to go to that class?
Where is this institute???
is the hacking available from androin phone
I once hired a hacker and it was a great experience
It was even spontaneous because I meet the hacker on the dark web.
How did you pull that off, was it risky?
At first I was skeptical but found out that hacker dude is harmless. He helped me to remove some of my private content from a certain website and I became convinced that hacker are mostly good guys like you and I.
Geez. You are lucky man! I have been looking for a hacker to help me with something very crucial which I cannot discuss here. I wish I can find an ethical hacker soon.
Actually you can easily contact this dude since he can be trusted. You can ask him for anything an he won't let you down. Text him via 203-890-0039 and tell him it's from Audery.
hi mashable!may i know who these teachers r so that i can conect to them for online course but y r their faces blured ?what institute r they teaching in and their fees ,any clues ,plese reply?
@4:54 mark ....movie/book 1984 shows up :) coincidence?
Hacking is like a gun u can use it for self defens and good or something bad
just go to Embry-Riddle
Can I join it in ?
No sweets you don’t have software that prevents it. You have software that stops virus’s etc. It’s a little different.
can someone told me where is this school, i want to join them
I know of many users that don't care if they get hacked.
I want to be on this course
Guy with the MacBook should be expelled!
Why, you don't know if he's using a VM, or have linux hardinstalled.
....You're obviously not involved in the hacking scene lmao.
Many programmers I know use macbooks, as other mentioned above vm, dual boot systems, etc are used.
alot of hackers dualboot macs to run kali on it
a macbook is not a bad choice if you got money i dont see the problem mate
How can I join with them?
How do I join the school??
Can I know what is the name of this organisation
i think the NHS had it comming by running Windows xp god bless them.
yes
I wanna take this class
'i dont use firewalls or anything like that'
Smh, doesnt know about the builtin firewall
L
Ignore the L
How are u going to switch to cashless if every DIRTBAGS and PAIDACTORSare carrying 3-5 phones, 1 being online.
