Big thanks to Cisco for Sponsoring this video. For more information about the topic being discussed follow the following link: https://blogs.cisco.com/news/the-thir...

Cisco’s Martin Lund joins David Bombal to unpack how AI-scale networking really works - and why a 51.2 Tbps, 64×800G, post-quantum–ready router matters. We break down scale-up vs scale-out vs scale-across, deep buffers to prevent drops on long-haul links, line-rate IPsec/MACsec, SONiC vs IOS XR, P4 programmability, coherent optics for ~1000 km DCI, and how these pieces enable exabit-class fabrics for AI clusters.

What you’ll learn

• Why GPUs are useless without massive, reliable interconnects

• 51.2 Tbps with 64×800G ports and what that enables for AI training

• Deep buffers vs shallow buffers and when each wins

• Line-rate encryption today and post-quantum readiness tomorrow

• SONiC on Cisco Silicon One, P4, and automation at hyperscale

Think you’ve been hacked? In this video, David Bombal and OTW (OccupyTheWeb)

walk you through OSQuery - a free, open-source tool that lets you query your

operating system like a database. You’ll learn the exact SQL-style commands to find:

• Listening processes & remote connections (spot command-and-control)

• Suspicious services and misspelled look-alikes

• Persistence via registry startup items and scheduled tasks

• Fileless malware (on_disk = 0) running only in RAM

OTW draws from real digital forensics cases (200+ inquiries/month),

including harassment, divorce disputes, and business rivalries. We also

explain why antivirus often fails once malware is resident—and what you can

do next (kill the process, remove the file, and harden startup entries).

Want a “hacker” laptop without wasting cash? In this candid breakdown with OTW, we cut through the hype and show you what actually matters for learning pentesting in 2025: prioritising RAM over flashy GPUs, picking VMware (free for personal use) for reliable labs, using refurbs/minis/Raspberry Pi, and planning for where wireless

hacking is going (Bluetooth/BLE/Zigbee) — not just Wi-Fi. We also cover AMD vs Intel vs Apple M-chips/ARM for Linux VMs, when cloud cracking makes sense, and why daily practice beats buying gadgets.

Highlights:

• Best beginner specs (RAM first, SSD nice, storage ≠ speed)

• VMware vs VirtualBox for home labs

• AMD/Intel vs Apple M-chips/ARM for Kali/Parrot VMs

• Alpha adapters & aircrack-ng compatibility; Nordic nRF52 for BLE

• Budget path: used/refurb, mini-PCs, Pi, phone/cloud labs (HTB/THM)

• The 80/20 rule of hacking: skills are greater than gear

If you’re delaying until you can afford a $2 – 3k laptop, don’t. Start now, learn daily, and upgrade later.

Big thanks to Juniper for sponsoring this video. To try Juniper Mist please click on the following link: http://juniper.net/trymistyourself

Choppy Zoom calls? Random outages? In this demo with David Bombal and Juniper Networks, you’ll see AI that actually helps: a tunnel-free setup for faster failover and a natural-language chatbot that pinpoints the real issue, client, Wi-Fi, switch, WAN, or cloud—and auto-captures the packets you need.

We also show simple security defaults (deny-by-default) and why double-encrypting traffic can slow you down.

What you’ll learn:

Why “old-school VPN tunnels” add overhead—and how tunnel-free can speed things up

How a chatbot (Marvis) finds root causes and triggers packet captures at the moment of failure

Easy checks for Zoom/Teams quality (latency, jitter, loss) and what to do when it’s not “the Wi-Fi”

Off-hours synthetic tests that catch issues before your day starts

Practical security: sensible defaults and where SASE fits if you want it

Quantum computing isn’t a far-off sci-fi threat. In a hybrid model (CPU + GPU + quantum), it could land within ~3 years—and that’s enough to break today’s

asymmetric cryptography (RSA/ECC/PKI) used for TLS/HTTPS and VPN key exchange via Shor’s algorithm. Result? Session keys exposed, mass decryption possible, and a risky “post-quantum gap” before new hardware/software are widely deployed.

In this frank discussion, OTW joins David Bombal to explain:

• Why asymmetric key exchange is the weak link for TLS/VPNs

• How hybrid quantum + CUDA-Q accelerates timelines

• Nation-states’ “collect now, decrypt later” strategy

• The painful window before post-quantum cryptography (PQC) rolls out

• Risks of client-side scanning and on-device AI

• NSA backdoors, PGP/Phil Zimmermann, and the San Bernardino iPhone case

At Black Hat, David Bombal sits down with OSINT pro Mishaal Khan to unpack anti-OSINT, practical steps to regain privacy without pricey services. Mishaal demos his free OperationPrivacy dashboard (400+ actions, 3 tiers: Conscious → Serious → Ghost) and shows how to:

• Freeze credit & use free monitoring

• Opt out of 100+ data brokers (Spokeo, Intelius, LexisNexis, more)

• Blur your home on Google/Bing/Apple Maps + real-world deterrents

• Claim critical accounts (IRS/DMV/USPS/UPS) and your domain

• Nudge page-one results with harmless decoys

• File copyright takedowns (Instagram/Google, etc.)

US-centric but widely applicable. DIY, trackable, and truthful about the time it takes.

In this 2025 deep-dive, David Bombal sits down with John Hammond to map the real state of hacking: classic ransomware/infostealers meet AI-assisted malware (including code that leverages LLMs). We unpack the ClickFix and FileFix social-engineering patterns, fake CAPTCHA and “save/upload” flows that trick users into running payloads, and the practical Windows mitigations (policy/registry ideas) you should know.

John shares why he estimates 20–30% of attacks now have some AI touch, how social engineering scales, and where defenders can push back. For your career, he argues opportunities are expanding: use CTFs, show your work on GitHub/video, and consider OSCP for signaling. He also introduces Just Hacking Training (JHT), handson hack-alongs, archived CTFs, free upskill challenges, and pay-what-you-want courses with industry all-stars.

What you’ll learn:

• How ClickFix/FileFix actually trick users

• Realistic mitigation tactics you can apply

• The current role of AI in malware

• Career roadmap: CTFs → OSCP → portfolio

• Where to get hands-on: JHT resources

In this ethical lab demo, David Bombal and Kyle Winters connect Claude (LLM) to Metasploit through an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to automate real attacks. Watch AI perform recon, generate a risk report, and execute VSFTPD backdoor, EternalBlue (SMBv1), and UnrealIRCD—dropping benign files on Linux and Windows with simple prompts.

Educational use only on intentionally vulnerable VMs. Do not attack systems you don’t own or lack permission to test.

What you’ll see

• How MCP bridges an AI to real tools (Metasploit RPC)

• AI-driven scanning + auto security report (services, versions, risks)

• Prompted exploits: VSFTPD, EternalBlue, UnrealIRCD

• Why this lowers barriers for red teams—and what blue teams should do
