      Hi David, would you like to make a video about the spying on mobile phone push notifications? Bruce Schneier had a blog post recently on this titled "Spying through Push Notifications" as did the French developer David Libeau. According to Libeau a "user can also completely deactivate push notifications" but he does not elaborate how. Would like to understand more about in what cases these are used and how users can deactivate them if desired.

Told him about 2600 and pen-testing then he found an SQL injection issue with a grocery store POS. Ten years later, he's quite a young entrepreneur. Thanks for the conversation gentlemen.

      It's great to hear that there are teachers like those. Back in the days it was literally the opposite for me, they went crazy mad if they caught me doing anything different from what they were teaching. Funny thing is i was in a school with an experimental program that focused on IT, programming, networks; but they turned to be very basic and any deviation, any aspiration of doing more and better was literally punished. I couldn't show my own reasearch that went beyond what they were teaching, which i found easy and boring, they discouraged experimenting in any way and the labs were boring as hell, like just using the office suite "because this is what you will actually end up working with". All of that didn't stop me, maybe it motivated me even more. Kali didn't exist yet, not even backtrack. I customised a slackware distro and wrote some tools on my own. I then had some fun.

      i wish my computer lab teacher knew anything more than Excel lol....i started with NetSend.....talking to friends while he *taught simple equations lol. Went to Netbus...To Vb, making aol n aim progz...To C++ to Java..... modified my school districts webpage....and got kicked out lol. Everything happens for a reason tho.
      ...Gavin is a prime example of the future. His thought process and motivations are exceptionable and commendable.
      ......my WinNt Excel "teacher"....not so much.
      I envy those who had a Real computer lab teacher. Someone who actually knew something and appreciated it.....though, that might be what pushed me more to learn. i dunno.

    This was a really great interview. I never would have found this channel if it weren't for my interest into tech and taking informatics fundamentals in my local community college. Now I want to learn more about tech but I think I can do that with my General Studies path since most jobs are requesting for experience rather than degrees. Would be smart of me to learn tech on the side while I am working on my General Studies to develop a skillset not known for comp sci majors. Thank you David for being an inspiration and for this awesome interview with a brute force learning teen!

    When I went to college my friend and I from highschool (who also went to the same college) bundled out knowledge. He was into phreaking and I was into cracking and we both had a passion for electronics. When we went to college the college was really accommodating to our endeavors.
    We could use the phones and we called BBSes for free to download the latest CAD/CAM software that I then cracked. At some point I broke the NetWare network by having written a keyboard sniffer that I installed on every PC. And I checked each PC of supervisor had logged in. (I did a video on that code that I still had).
    The school was all about exploration and learning and the science was documenting it and suggesting ways to circumvent it. When in 1992 the Dutch telephone introduced new calling cards the school rented one of those machines and we set out to reverse engineer it with some other students.

Although I began in 1st grade with the now ancient IBM PC, we only ever had computer class for playing Oregon Trail, Carmen Sandiego and as we got older it was just basic typing or a presentation on PP.

    Prime example that some people just have it, and others dont. Not taking anything away from this kids hard work, im sure hes a very hard worker. but you cant tell me at 15 he put in as much effort as i have in trying to learn this stuff. grown men study for 10+ years to become great pentesters. some people just have it man.
    I love Davids guests, but I remember Marcus Hutchins coming on this show and saying he was programming since he was like 5 or 6 or somethin crazy like that.
    cmon man, some people are just prodigys.
    great interview though, as always. i hope this kid becomes something great, no doubt he will

      This is the reality in many facets of life. Some people just have it, and others have to work really hard to get to it. When it comes to racing, there’s a lot of things that I just “get” right away that a lot of people struggle with. When it comes to hacking, I’m finding I’m on the other side. I have to work twice as hard to understand things that seem to come to people so naturally.
      I truly believe anyone can achieve anything if they put their minds to it and have that passion. Without passion, you can’t really get anywhere.

    At 31, with a 127 iq and 2 months of experience; idk if I feel so overwhelmed with this anymore. If he could do it in high school, I think I’ll be ok. I am a single dad with primary custody, but thankfully my dad has been super supportive and extremely helpful throughout all this. I’m quitting my full time job soon, so I’ll have even more time on my hands to figure all of this out. Being an auto mechanic really sucks ass. After a decade, it’s literally gotten me nowhere… I basically consider myself a 21 year old, with a toddler, and 10 years of experience 😂😂😂

    Boss, could you please create a comprehensive video series covering advanced topics such as advanced time based blind SQL injection injection, XSS, LFI, RFI, and RCE, including the process of uploading web shells on Apache and IIS web servers in live website scenarios? Traditional platforms like test.vulner, DVWA, bWapp, PortSwigger, etc., fail to address real-world challenges like identifying origin IPs, DNS brute force attacks, reverse IP lookups, WAF/IDS/IPS circumvention, AWS/CDN/Tor, reverse proxies, and CMS security 🤙. Your unique content would be invaluable in educating the bug bounty hunting community about genuine issues and solutions. Thanks in advance for your contributions to the community.

    I've been homeschooling my two kids, aged 9 and 10, for the past year. During this time, I introduced them to basic Linux commands using Kali Linux VM. As we enter our second year, I'm pleased to see that they've developed a solid understanding of navigating and using terminal commands comfortably. Currently, I'm guiding them through the process of creating a virtual lab, complete with a pfSense firewall and Metasploitable VM machine, using VirtualBox. This endeavor is aimed at delving a bit more into the realm of cybersecurity. Looking ahead, my hope is that by the time they reach 15, they will have acquired several CompTIA certifications, setting them on a path ready for the future.

    Not going to lie, I'm a little jealous...here's why. My teachers wasn't the best to me, to the point. If I was to do what he did, I would get into big trouble and wouldn't be supported like that.😭😕 Just saying, I'm not much older than he is...and I pretty much just started. I'm about a year into learning this stuff, and in my head I've (solved)...more like, how more experienced people could go about it. So pretty much a different outlook on things.😎 It could be just a lack of confidence in myself, just because I don't know how to go about explaining it, outside of my brain.😅

    The “other” side remains hidden to most people until it is too late for their own good. Opening one’s mind to it’s existence is crucial especially in this age when most business is migrating online & getting to understand the hardware & software - layers & layers of it & how it can get compromised by their developers not having a “pen-test” mindset & doing sloppy programming. Then there are 0 days, the granddaddy of them all. It is also important to remember that A.I. does not discriminate & it will serve hackers bent on doing damage as well. The question is whether a positive differential between the good & bad sides can be maintained & (hopefully) increased as well.

    Hi David. Awesome video.
    I have a question, have you ever interviewed someone who struggles a lot to get into cybersec? I appreciate the content and POV that skilled tech people provide but I feel they have some "advantage" due to situations or people around them. Maybe I am overthinking the entry process, but I would like to know if someone is into cybersecurity but had to deal with doubts or lack of opportunities during their journey into cybersecurity.

    Using 4G/5G from my phone with VPN (full tunnel). In worst case scenario I spinup an isolated VM with a virtual USB port bound to a Wifi adapter connected to an non-trusted wifi and again with full-tunnel VPN. 3rd option is just use Tails from a USB stick (with or without persistent storage).

    This kids seems very humble and matter of fact. Has a good mindset. I’m from a different discipline, mech eng,-‘d perhaps there is a way for 15 year olds to make a meaningful contribution to an engineering discipline but tbh I don’t really see a way how. You need to learn so much physics, math, and software to solve all that physics that i can’t see a young person doing it by then. Coding is much different, basically you need to track logical commands and see if that logic holds under scrutiny, look up what some higher level functions do and why, and understand networks/security protocols. Which sounds like a lot writing it out but most of it is just looking things up and reading about them. With enough free time a young person could do all these things. Coding seems to have a lot of barriers to entry but formal schooling doesn’t seem like one of them imo
