Your description of programming in hacking is 100% spot-on. I've worked as a software engineer for like 25 years now and I do ethical hacking on the side. Knowing how to build an API/system can be useful but it's not pivotal when it comes to exploiting somebody else's API which is what you're likely going to be doing 99% of the time. You'd actually be better off as with a sys ops background since that domain requires a lot of knowledge of systems in a way that engineering does not. I know my way around the Linux and windows (as well as Mac) APIs, but if it weren't for my experience hacking, I wouldn't need a large swath of the information that I know on those subjects. If you're writing on a virtual machine (java/kotlin/elixir), an interpreter (python/ruby/clisp) or even a runtime (go/high level rust) you barely need to know much about the underlying operating system especially since so many programs live in userland these days. I can count on my fingers the amount of times I've had to write a program that needs to interact with the kernel or the OS in a meaningful way and I'm not webdev or a frontend engineer (this is for enterprise reasons). And when I compare the code I write for penetration testing versus the code I write for engineering, it's like comparing scripts to apps. A pen testing program usually has a handful of things that does really well while a general program can reach into a bunch of domains. Anyway great content, looking forward to whatever you produce next.
My first language was c++, which I'm really glad because now I can write c++ but all I was doing for a while was just pasting open source repositories and changing code around to see what the hell it did. I guess that's how you learn though
Compared to other common youtube hacking videos, yours are so entertaining. Literally had my attention for 19 minutes lmao Keep up with the good shit dude
Surface level: Use a TLS/SSL layer on top of HTTP to encrypt data. Hacker level: Access a private node(web server on lan) via nat translation and port forwarding.
Good job on your friend for getting through with the bootloader bricking itself. I have had this done countless times where when trying to dual boot Windows and a Linux distro, Windows would update and eat the bootloader in the process somehow. Windows just doesn't play nice with me lol.
I'm not new to programming (6+ years), but I still sometimes struggle with it - I think specifically when it comes to structuring the program (the first step!) - since there are just too many ways to go about it and it's not clear to me which one's the best. If I had to guess, I'd probably say that that's because I'm self-taught and never learned that kind of intuition (because I kind of just _started coding_ into a single file without thinking "hmmm how could I modularize this in the most optimal and intuitive way possible")
Thank you from preventing us noobs from being screamed at on stack overflow. I’m sure the problem will go away as we gain experience! “Couldn’t the packages in python be used to install malware?” “Why is that the languages fault?” “What?” “I don’t see how that’s the language fault.” “Ok.”
as an esl, grammar mistake and expressing yourself in english is no longer a challenage with ai like chatpgt. all you need is to give outline your idea and let ai finish the rest. the challenge left is to have a brain that knows how to code, thats what im struggling with. As an ESL learner, grappling with grammar mistakes and expressing myself fluently in English has become less challenging with AI like ChatGPT. Now, outlining ideas and letting AI fill in the gaps has simplified the process. However, my current struggle lies in acquiring the coding skills necessary to excel in my projects.
Hmmm. How about an orb you shoot from your hands that enters the electronic landscape then allowing you to manipulate it with your hands like in “Lawnmower Man”? Fun! Nice animation!
II: Dealing with failure... As you finally finish rewriting the 300 lines of code because you didnt write it write the first time, your anticipation is at its peak. These last 3 hours, all for this. *clicks run program, program crash's 52 errors, closes vscode, bashs head into desk, cries, tries to run it again, cries, 5 hours later find the missing ( i didnt put in in python *
13:45 yeah i feel like burp suite is a pain in the ass when using it on THM; however, I am working on their web fundamentals path since I recently completed the complete beginner and the comptia pentest path, a good rule of thumb is if you hate it, you should do it more until you don't hate it or just hate it less
Last skill should be: Hate Crow Until He Dies :) (very nice video but like past crow is better than future crow, all jokes aside awesome video KEEP IT UP)
2:06 kerberos, the wifi camera suite or the MIT protocol for authentication? (or both) just asking cause that image is for the camera suite not MIT. also what with the kraken trident program image? what is that? Hope you have a great day & Safe Travels!
thank you so much for commenting! in this context, kerberos as in the authentication protocol for active directory :) and the trident thing is actually the logo for crackmapexec
FREAK! just kidding, LOL. As someone who's finally getting to grips with C/C++ my only wish is that I started with C wayyyyy earlier (it's so elegant) :') thank you for commenting!
it's just an avatar i created from a site called picrew.me/ ; just for fun (hope that's what you mean); i can't find the exact thing i used otherwise i'd link it in all the videos (if anyone reading this finds out which one it is, please let me know so i can include it in the upcoming videos :))
Strongly disagree with the Programming advice. I'm a beginner in both Python and C. Started with Python tutorials and guess they're good to get a feel about coding but... honestly, C has taught me so much more about how computers work. It's far more real. Python's abstraction is useful but effectively hides how programs and binaries work aye. Great video tho ❤
i totally respect that! i’ve been taking C/C++ pretty seriously lately and i 100% agree that learning these two would be an incredible boost to someone’s general understanding of how their computer works, the necessary management that goes into all the different things, etc. honestly tho, i feel like for someone who’s dead set on coming into penetration testing as a beginner, already has an incredibly steep hill to climb to get to a level of self-sufficiency and i think that C/C++ just increases the steepness factor of that hill. definitely doable, 100% just generally not recommended for most newcomers/beginners who are brand brand new since it can become too much and too overwhelming. but hey, again, they can choose to do it in whatever manner they want! cybersec isn’t a linear path/one size fits all kinda deal, after all :) thank you so much for commenting, and i’m so glad you liked the video! that makes me so happy to hear :D ❤️❤️❤️
you're not alone! when i was starting out, networking was definitely the biggest chunk I had to get to grips with. luckily for you tho, you do have a decent advantage since you have that awesome technical background : D you should be just fine! thank you sm for commenting :)
damn it seems like I've just fucked up my whole system that's why i have no sound... sry for the confusion... good video btw! even with no sound I can tell.
I havent given up, but i work physical security after leaving a combat arms MOS/rate in the military during GWOT. Masters degree was in analysis/report writing type field, but I wanted to learn cyber. I start and stop based on when I get time to continue, but my hope is to make the switch within the next few years. Currently, I rely on TryHackMe and walkthroughs, when I get more efficient I plan to continue at HackTheBox, and after completing a few boxes at both, then I will try for the certification exams. Id rather fumble on a cheap or free box than on an expensive exam
WOOOO!!! NEW VIDEO DROPPED!!! and a banger once again
YOU DA BEST ❤️❤️❤️ ILY TYSM

Now I will be the most powerful hacker! I will even learn to stop people from hacking me, I promise you!
YOU WILL BE THE BEST. I HAVE NO DOUBT.
Oh so you're gonna be the best hacker? Hack me then
Are u still hacking son?
Are you going to even be able to stop people from dying? Sorry, your comment reminded me of that terrible line from starwars.
Same
Compared to other common youtube hacking videos, yours are so entertaining. Literally had my attention for 19 minutes lmao
Keep up with the good shit dude
that makes me so incredibly happy to hear! thank you so much for the kind words, im glad you found some use out of this video :D
Really like your content. Think your content on cyber security is way beter than some of the over hyped stuff out there.
i really appreciate that :) thank you so much!

I came for the skills, I stayed because of the Power Shell joke. Great video crow!

Same here bro, but with any other thing I do in IT. I feel like trash sometimes haha
I almost dropped my phone when I got the notification that you dropped a new video
i will buy you a planet ilysm thank you for the comment :' )
God I love the Maplestory music
For me in programming I’d say when I learned C it’s when I finally got the big picture lol
VIDS A DAMN BANGER FAM LETS GO
THANK YOU SO MUCH
honestly this video is the only video i can actually understand instant sub
So glad to have stumbled across your channel, you need to make more content!
Love the Kerning City BGM :)
Man, all of your videos are Amazing, thanks m8
That means so much to me :' ) thank you very much !!
I love your content, keep making videos!
:’) thank you so much for the kind words; and will do! ❤️

AAAAAA ❤❤❤❤ TYSM :' )
networking is the most tedious part for me to learn, some networking topics are fun, most are boring
11:05 Oh god that looks so cute
Amazing video there chump :D
thank you very much, my good chap !
how did i miss your channel . the algo sucks these days
Last skill should be: Hate Crow Until He Dies :) (very nice video but like past crow is better than future crow, all jokes aside awesome video KEEP IT UP)
xD thank you justin
i hv subscribed u, gonna binge ur channel tommorow after exam fking lesgoo
can you make a video similar to the buffer overflow video but explain rop gadgets, rop chains, and rop in general
nice video respect you from Armenian Hackers Group LEGION.
He's back with another BANGER
🥲❤❤ AYEEE
Hello , love your vids , can you make a vid about networking , like going througth all those things you said not necessarily in detail.
thank you so much ❤️! and sure thing, a networking series is something i already plan on making in the near future ;)
It's Mr poggers again woooo
THANK YOU, BIGGIECHEEZ >: )
Nice video my guy
i appreciate 'cha, my friend
Whyy you so underrated?
aw thank you so much for the comment :' D

@@crr0ww thank you for your reply, I hope that you Have a great day & Safe Travels!
I literally made a Twitter account just to follow you.
you’ve just made my entire day; thank you so much!! :’) ❤️
Nice❤️
thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
Ohh broooo❤😊
10:19 Hey, that's me!
Started in C++ and slowly moved to C
FREAK! just kidding, LOL. As someone who's finally getting to grips with C/C++ my only wish is that I started with C wayyyyy earlier (it's so elegant) :') thank you for commenting!
nice looking term
thank you so much! :)
Ur vids r nice. Can u use far bg instead of white. It hurts my eyes at night 😂
whats the discord ?
i also have an alias dor exa --icons but it just dosnet work says it alsready ahs a work ehe do you had same problems if yes how did you fix it
fire my dude
Damn, I've studied so hard but still failed my blood test ;(

That was actually a great great answer, got me thinking and in fact I oughta agree 😂. All the best @@crr0ww 🚀
The first programming language I learned was C 💀
13:15 thats not how you write 9 :D
ISSA MOD
networking is prolly my weakest area in this list. I'm good at os' programming & automation tho
you're not alone! when i was starting out, networking was definitely the biggest chunk I had to get to grips with. luckily for you tho, you do have a decent advantage since you have that awesome technical background : D you should be just fine! thank you sm for commenting :)
who tf hacked the sound?
damn it seems like I've just fucked up my whole system that's why i have no sound... sry for the confusion... good video btw! even with no sound I can tell.
sounds like somebody who wants to know what he's talking about.
Power and shell 😂😂😂😂😂
Naah I rather stick to web development
