Making my rounds, thanking the IT YouTubers who gave me the courage to switch careers at 32. I'm 3 months into my first IT job and just passed the Security + exam today. I'm studying for my next cert already and I had to stop by and say thank you for all the amazing content you put out. Your videos always reassured me when that little voice would pop in to say, "It's too late." or "You can't do this." Haha I'm having so much fun going down this path, and I've never felt more in control.

[DigitalNomadInvestor]

Yes, a video on being anonymous online would be great!

[yodaiam]

With over 15 years of experience in this field as well as programming I can say with confidence no one is a master. You are in a constant state of learning and updating learned information. So don’t be deterred. 💻

[edwin_terrones]

Yay 2023 coming strong! Thank you David for giving us this video!

[ChrisGreer]

13:12 looks like I gotta write a book now 😅. Solid content David as always! Looking forward to more this year!

[jakeharris]

Thanks for everything you do to help the community David!

[urbbanq]

I love those videos. You 2 guys need to make a podcast. Thank you very much for all the shared wisdom

That car analogy couldn’t have been anymore up my alley. I’m currently an auto technician working on switching fields.

[jeremycheong]

haha, cyber is pretty much knowing everything. A lifetime of study and dedication.

[wecantrybetterdpokusajmobo]

Like, like, like, and another big like!!! From my POV [as a 15y of networking and system administration experience], the things recommended in this video is EXACTLY what anybody can do to become a master hacker! You are awesome! I wish You all the best!

[peterl]

As mentioned; a video for understanding how and what kind of digital traces one leaves behind on the net (and how to find and/or erase them) would be quite interesting. And thanks for all you do to inform and teach.:)

Thank you David Sir for giving us the boost from day 1 of this new year.
Big follower from 🇮🇳.
May God help David Bombal community to achieve their Goals this year.
Amen. 🙏😇✝️

I enjoyed the list of needed knowledge and the needed mentality. Looks like I need to improve on a few things.

Analytical/problem solving/creative - Achieved
Persistence - Getting better
A+ knowledge - Achieved
Networking - Achieved
Linux+ knowledge - Achieved
Virtualization - Achieved
Basic Wireshark - Achieved (could use more practice)
Sec+ knowledge - Achieved
Scripting Languages - Needs work
Database skills SQL - None
Web application skills - Very little
Forensics - None
Cryptography - Could improve, but comfortable.

Prepping on taking the OSCP again since I failed years ago. I'm trying to fill the knowledge gaps before biting the bullet and taking the actual course again.

[whoisthis]

I love how you actually use the show notes and link everything you say you’re going to link. Whenever I get or do anything I first look for your affiliate links because you deserve all the credit I can give you for helping with my new career path. I thought I was going to live my life in finance/mortgage industry but I learned the hard way how volatile the industry is and need something more secure

[Hoaa]

David, i love all of your Content! Thank you for putting so much effort into your Videos.

[THE-dlyk]

Just finished fifth chapter of Linux basics for hkrs, I appreciate it David great beginners book.

[myname-mzlo]

knowing the basics of every aerea in it and networking is a good start . and i mean just the basics . it will make everything else sooo much easier to learn

[KhalonKurogami]

Thank you David Bombal for making this video. I for one have been inspired to pursue this path. I currently have the A+ and Network+ certs and work as a deployment technician doing computer hardware refreshes for enterprises. So now in 2023 I'll continue to level myself up in IT and enter the hacking sphere starting with Linux. I got the linux basics for hackers book on kindle as well as the getting started becoming a master hacker book and a comptia linux+ course on udemy. I'm giving myself 2-3 months to complete this step of the journey. I'm solidifying my resolve to get this done with this comment.

[mujahidali]

I am really looking forward to all the great content you have planned for this year. Your videos and courses have always been informative and engaging, and I have no doubt that this year's content will be just as valuable.
