As a Cybersecurity professional, I must say, this complex topic is way much simply explained. The analogy of bricks is really good. Good job and kudos to the creators.

[MoritzDerErste]

When you randomly bash your keyboard in infinite parallel universes for an infinite amount of time, you'd probably get a fully working exploit chain for the latest ios version some day in Eternity

[Retrohunter]

Bro seriously, editing something like this takes a long time. Very impressive. Keep these docu’s coming, you can become a big youtuber.

[trusttech]

As an IT professional, this video does an excellent job of breaking down a very complex subject into terms the average person can easily understand. The brick wall analogy is excellent and one I’ll borrow for future conversations.

[x_Frggy]

This is one of the best Cyber-sec educational videos that I've ever seen on YouTube. Thanks for all the effort you put into this.

[polk]

This was one of those rare videos on YouTube that really open your eyes and are so well done that they just stay with you. Great job and great video!

[zappos]

6:00 that you made Australia upside down, is pure comedy 😂

[JanBadertscher]

So if you're a dev at a large software or hardware company, you deliberately sneak in a bug that allows for a very specific 0 day vuln, sell it off to a broker, and the day it's detected by your employer, you come up with a fix and gain a pay rise.

[abysses]

Zero day exploits have always mesmerized me, knowing there is someone out there with a critical piece of info that could have so many implications, practically all being negative, is equal parts scary and fascinating to me.

[izvanzemaljac]

My man, DDoS is an attack, not the way to get "to the other side of the wall". It's a denial of service, not something that will get you information. Fix your video.

[lotarion]

One thing to note about all these walls is that when you buy a 0-day, you don't just pay for knowing about one faulty brick in one wall, you're paying for knowing about such a brick in every single wall of similar design.

[gFamWeb]

I think there's one thing you missed that I think is extremely important: everyday security researchers. There's a lot of hackers out there that are fully public and post about the vulnerabilities they find (after they're patched, usually). However, becoming such a person still requires you to navigate these markets.

They could report it directly to the company, but companies such as Apple have been criticized in the past for low payouts, or not paying at all. This could lead security researchers to go to the grey market instead, hoping for a more guaranteed payday. I think that's a pretty interesting dynamic of the market.

[lisaschuster]

I want to know who wrote the Apple OS bug that stops recognizing your passwords four times a year. “Forgot your password?” No.

[superleggera]

Algorithm pushed this on my feed, and as soon as I was at 0:20, I subbed! May the force be with you CyberNews! 👊

[bSixf]

Social engineering, hacking data brokers and bribing corrupt employees are some other ways people get in. *The human will always be the weakest link, like when they setup their servers and their root password is admin*

[daviduper]

I loved the animation trying to sell a zero day for TempleOS

[psstimbatman]

These explaining, documentary style videos are soo good! Definitely need more of those.

[guinnesstheshep]

Credit to Kaspersky for operation triangulation, they did some amazing work exposing the attack chain. And the cherry on top, they released everything on Christmas for the jailbreak community.

[gabrielresidentevil]

This is one of the greatest videos I've ever watched on youtube, you got a new subscriber! awesome content

[AZashr]

Pplease make more videos like this, I loved every minute, perfect editing, incredible narration...

I loved this bro
