- Freakyclown (or "FC") is a professional physical penetration tester, and has probably robbed more banks than history's most infamous thieves. He shares some wild stories of snatching gold bars, stealing a helicopter, and hacking government buildings, all in the name of stronger security.

This guy was literally 007 and he sounded like a nice genuine person having fun at his job
Yeah this guy is so cool, It would honestly be hilarious if he acted like 007, his coolness level would plummet drastically if he did that lmao
I can confirm he is the nicest and he has the most fun!
Yea I'm just saying, dude, wouldn't you? Have a blast and get a lil' cut and you were just siking them? Remember the movie Sneakers?
007 without the license to kill.
I am sure the real 007 would sound almost exactly like this guy.
Yes FC, I met you about a decade ago in Preston at uclan when you did a talk for the game programming class about what you do and later a class you tried to teach. You invited me to a dinner with some of the other students and I always regretted not going and chatting with you some more. I ended up getting a degree in network security and ethical hacking and now work for the NHS. Just want to say thank you. You literally changed my path in life for the better

This is the coolest thing in the comments, I hope he sees this
@JackRhysider did you see this?
@@freemobilegames4u projects wise/ security wise not much, kinda all hands on deck with service desk due to the pandemic
@FreeMobileGames4u upgraded them from Windows NT....only joking...maybe
The Physical and Cyber pentesting is peak job satisfaction. Love hearing stories on successful pentests.
some fails are pretty nice and hilarious too
15:56: new meaning to the term "pen" testing.
😂 now that's a good pun
@victoriabergman4703 talk about infection..lol
As a teen, this podcast really opened my eyes to ethical hacking. I watched your password video and started doing an ethical hacking competition. It's fun.
46:37 I guess the advantage of a backfire such as warning the bank someone's coming is to expose an extra security failure (banks not following their own compliance when responding to a threat)
I’ve been watching every episode as they come out and I absolutely love this show
Stumbled across this video/channel from my recommends and I've got to say I am a big fan of this style of editing where it's part interview and part informational.
"Afterwards I was so nervous and sweaty, I looked like a homeless person." i love this guy
I really did :D
@@MrFreakyclown Hahahahaha thanks for replyin! You're a massive inspiration!
I'm really loving this channel the content is top notch. Love the way you edit the interviews.
i think it takes away from the story :( There's no way of knowing what actually has been said by the person being interviewed. Really interesting story's on this channel though!
I agree! My fave podcast fr
@@subzSauria I think we spent about 3 hours on the interview, it cant all fit into an episode unfortunately. Jack does an outstanding job of editing everything done to the core pieces and making me/others sound amazing.
It’s fantastic imo as well.
@@MrFreakyclownI’ve learned so much from these podcasts, like how to rob a bank lol
He makes wonderful content and I’ve been binging it the last few days
Nice to wake up to a new episode! lets hack the youtube algo by liking and leaving a comment.
Agreed. Also great is falling asleep to a new episode, and then forgetting to sleep and re listen to episodes to fall asleep 😂
Definitely
There's 131 episodes currently, just not on youtube
@@almaefogo i noticed
@@poppy2244 So true 😂
these stories alongside your editing/storytelling style makes these videos great. keep em comin jack!
Thanks for the work you guys are doing. I'd love to give back to the community as well.
The format of this podcast was also awesome. Keep it up!
Only 20 mins in and this was the coolest video to come across. Love your channel!
Raytheon? YIKES!
They also handle missile defence systems in the UK. I recommended Mo' to get an interview, he was a skilled defender (and perhaps more) and he had a spark for aviation.
Even saying you work for Ray is probably under (something like) a 7yr NDA.
Rec this guy to be careful - not sure of his contract details - but they have mega lawyers.
Thanks for the story. You've become my fav channel.
One of the best episodes yet, awesome!
Man he my inspiration!! Just the love he has for his job. He has my full respect!
Thanks :)
If you want more of the same, I highly recommend the book “Breaking and Entering: The Extraordinary Story of a Hacker Called Alien.” More of the same with great stories from hacking adventures at MIT.
Is that a podcast
@@anthonychilufya6580 BOOK
Care to share your current web site to download
@@anthonychilufya6580 no, learn to google
Can you hack
This channel is awesome. What a great episode. So glad i found this.
Ethical Hackers always have our RESPECT
If a hacker helps protect an unethical bank, is the hacker ethical?
@@XwaYdesu all of the banks are unethical.
@@xslvrxslwt it'd easily be troll bait for derail. Im less interested in discussing the ethics of Banks as main topic. Im more interested in bringing the questions of: are unethical hackers ethical, and are ethical hackers unethical? What determins ethics? The wealthy people with a taxfunded army of badged guns?
@@XwaYdesu You seem to be confusing ethics with morality. Ethics describes socially bound sets of rules such as codes of conducts whereas morality describes personal principles and ideas of right and wrong.
It is moral to sabotage banks but not ethical
police phoned to tell him that they want to arrest him, "can you please come down to the station?" So polite, so british, i love it
This channel is my new favorite!
This channel was my greatest 2023 CZcams find. Awesome word, kind regards from Brazil
Я из бразильский тоже 😢
This channel should receive so much more views!
I’m a private investigator and tbh the things he does and he things I do on the job are very similar, I’ve never broken into a bank or a hospital but I’ve gotten into plenty of apartments with keypads and locks and snuck around plenty of office buildings
Are PI allowed to "enter and snoop" legally under contract?
it's unbelievable how easy his tasks were, like breaking into a government building, someone let him in, and security guards do nothing about it??
Jack, this is three years old man. You need to release all your old content on this platform please. You will have huge amount of binge watching happen, for goodness sake Jack, give us your work.......
Yes please👆🏻
Lol wtf do you think he’s doing 😂
AND SHORTS JACK, get someone to clip your content to hack the algo!
@@etherealradar shorts are bad for your brain, stick to longer content
I’ve only been subscribed for a month n I’m hooked to every upload
Love the visuals with the opening.
Edit: I’m thinking that being a smoker is a benefit when your pen testing.
New sub. Ya won me over in 3 seconds. This is amazing work.
The camera trick was next level clever!
That bank said I could keep a good bar if I was able to get one. So I hired this guy and told him I work for the bank.
incredibly good listen well done
21:45 Omg, this is such a dead give away of "Yes, I did." because if he never worked for them he would just say no. This is like the whole situation around putting alcohol in a paper bag thing. It's the best way to conceal that it is alcohol if you drink it in public, but it also makes it completely obvious that you are drinking alcohol because who just puts a bottle of fruity juice in a paper bag and drink it from the bag? The bag conceals, but it also reveals.
I guess a better answer would be "Yes, but I can't speak of anything I did there for obvious reasons."
After watching the DD on Samy, I've become hooked. This is fantastic content.
That was fascinating! Very cool!!
Love hearing about social engineering experts. Really underscores the need for training, ESPECIALLY at the higher levels of the org chart.
It’s the higher end of the chart that do the training.
The smartest thing most companies are doing now is just not allowing your company email account to send/receive to external accounts.
@@tsdobbi thus completely disabling that company’s ability to use email except for internal comms. Fucking useless.
@@tsdobbi by external do you mean to or from non existing clientele or employees? How would they provide say new products, end date sales info or policy changes etc to gain or increase business?
this is real journalism, art, and should be on national tv.
Great episode.
i love the old school npr style interviews!!!
Great Gem Channel Found
I will listen to all of them :)
Great ep 💓💓
Love this channel
Bro is the Joe Rogan of CyberSec
... and much less retarded.
Happy to see a new vid.
Amazing video , and content , and this guy is amazing and super polite , any his story telling is spot on , would love to meet this guy and attend his class but I live in America and I am old
Sometimes for a company to have better security, they need to pay more to the employees. If I get minimum wage for a job I won't care much about security of that job, cause I can get this anywhere else.
So on the first story, they kind of glossed over explaining exactly how he got in to the back area of the bank. Like they said "He got in around back" yeah but how. Was the door just open? Did someone let you in? What?
Open door round the back then theres the open vault? Ez pz
I love this.
- So the police phoned me up & said we want to arrest you can you come down to the station?
- So I went down to the station.
- Go away get a lawyer come back so we can arrest you.
- So I went and got a lawyer and went back to be arrested. Lmao!!! What is happening over there? This sounds like a comedy skit! 🤣
Only in Britain would this fabulous police tactic work.
Job well done chaps, we got him! We finally nabbed freaky clown! Applause all around especially Billy everyone thank billy for making the phone call in the first place. Lmao
Dude. You got yourself another solid subscriber. Damn I'm addicted. Time to start from the beginning I guess.\
"More awkward you make it the less likely they are to confront you"
this guy is more inspiring than most celebrities
Excellent video.
*I LOVE THIS CHANNEL*
Jack your series is awesome! I listen all day when I'm at work. Started on Gta online 5 months ago and now I'm here 🤔.... time to go back to school for a career change!
YOU SHOUD BE FIRED SINCE YOU LISTENING AT WORK
Nice to see CZcams denizens catching on and appreciating the content.
this inspire me more to learning cyber security
Great stuff FC!
Awesome podcast ever!!!!!
Dude: breaks toe while doing job
Also dude: "I wouldn't break my toe for a job"
I only knew that this badass appeared on Darknet Diaries is this episode because today I read his book in a Barnes In Nobel. It references that he appeared on this number episode. And that made me think, "Hot shit! I've got to go see this episode tonight!" If Jack_Rhysider interviews someone and they have a book. Yeah its got to be good.
Thank you Jack
Freaky resemblance. 40yrs back I was hired as a temp at a bank. My job, irregular without any preinfo, transporting bare banknotes, from vault to vault. In scruffy jeans, carrying bin liners with 6+ figure value, I walked through ordinary day to day people. Even myself found it 'normal' to do. Security sits between ones ears!
Also, I’ve worked in buildings under martial law, high security buildings (where I lost my pass for a month), and even visited buildings under USA regulations for arms manufacturers. In the last, I was caught by security at one point and escorted back to the front. Front office comment was “but that’s just Jack!”. I never had malicious intent, so it was just fun to try how far I could push it. Hobbies are great! Also, it’s very different for people that security/staff are used to seeing vs a stranger.
The most amazing story.
Canadian here. My daughter got into a bit of trouble with the law as a teenager. The practice of calling up a perpetrator and asking to come to the police station, from what I’ve seen from a few cases, is not unusual for a first time offender if it’s a non-violent crime. Just make sure you show up!
down side is, people wil always start being anoyed with that one employee who refuses to be slack, eventually this will happen, and if your patient enough then you can social engineer your way pass anyone.
Best thing on CZcams!
Great episode, as always
Not really a fan of podcasts but this one right here is fantastic
a big human vulnerability in super closed off buildings is the security personnel on the inside. once you are inside most just assume you are supposed to be there since the place is so guarded.
Your videos always leave us feeling motivated and uplifted.
this guy holds every single record for hotline miami 2 hard mode speedrunning 100%
Love the podcast Btw !
"Are we going to be in a Magazine?" I am 💀
You should make a playlist with all of the pentest episodes 😃
Amazing....
I saw the title and I immediately thought about penetration test. But honestly I don't know if I will have the nerves to hand that
Imagine randomly meeting this dude at say a festival and getting into conversation with him. He'd have you absolutely captivated .. well, he would me anyway
Wooou man! I love this template! How did you did it!? 😲😲😲
sounds like a super freaking fun job!
"..in a European country so, not in England..." a touch of British exceptionalism slipping out...
Please consider changing the audio mix levels between the voiceover and the backing tracks at points the backing is too loud or overwhelming/distracting on full range theatre monitor systems Great stories maybe you use headphones to edit/qc use full range (include sub) to replay?
love these
If you need to get out, but have to show ID in order to do so, there's always the fire alarm :)
Seems to me like the European country with all the cameras and strange language was the Netherlands and that the place was something like the Amsterdam Internet Central or some government building in Den Haag. Relying on camera systems will make the security inside the place much more relaxed and that may not be a good thing.
i would be happy to see how the reaction was from the people in charge after he got into the 3 buildings and placed also a rasperry-pie i there... :D
Really impressed
Bro your series could be a tv show
The pen works... Even a toothbrush works 😅
43:10 is exactly what was the most shocking to me when I worked for a guvt agency, everybody wore at the very least business casual, and one day I saw a dude in shorts so I tried the next time in military boots, marpat shorts and untied hair, nobody batted an eye. The culture seems to really be shifting, at least in some european countries.
Gonna drop this comment for algo, nice work brother
Waiting for FC to tweet from space because the client assumed he could not enter a spaceship .
I wonder which collegue he has on speed dial for launch control 😅
Real Mission Impossible guy , Respect++. May Thanos show you mercy 🙏
These pentesters are EPIC
Wow! I’m gonna try this sometime hahaha
what program do you use to make visuals for your channel? Love the content, thank you
Wow, they're quick. Dunno how they can take someone's username and pic so easily, esp a content creators? Nothing seems secure anymore...
Raytheon is mostly known for weapons like missiles, not avionics or aircraft engines. They're the core military corp. in the US.
Cool chat!
Wow, super interesting! The algorithm just showed me this today; new subscriber, commenting to help the algo :-)
That is a cool thumbnail.
This some great improvised writing taken from some copy pasta on 4chan lmao.
