I've been Hacking for 10 Years! (Stripe CTF Speedrun)

Celebrating my 10 years of hacking and my 7 years on YouTube!
In 2012 I came across my first hacking CTF. Stripe organized a Capture the Flag competition with 6 levels to learn about different vulnerabilities. This is what it all started for me.

"Evil revo wolf" is a great hacker name tho!

I totally understand the high one gets from first shell execution (it was immensely rewarding for me). CTF is really awesome. Although I am not into cyber-sec, I enjoy these videos and actually helps me become aware of vulnerabilities! It would be cool if you would like into exploiting neural networks too. Since there are lot of organization using NN these days, it definitely has a lot of attack space!

It is always amazing to see someone taking what is started to be their hobby to the level you did. Congratulations for you 10 years, I see you enjoyed every second of it, and that is the most important about it. Thank you for making educational videos about CTFs, I am sure you inspired many of us to start a career in IT sec, and even more to start playing CTFs as a hobby. We are very grateful for your inspiration!

Congrattulations ♥️♥️ you’re the one who helps me a lot when i start this career

Haven't watched the full video yet. But first, Congratulations!👍👍
The kind of thorough understanding you've gained over these years, most people don't reach that level even after having 20-25 years of experience.(It's my opinion based on the kind of people I've met)
I think it is mostly because not everyone has the same mindset about this field, career, and life in general. And that's actually sad.
Keep making great content!
Back to the video..

24:10 That final solution looks like how hacking is displayed in movies!
The hours and hours that lead up to that point are just not as cinematic.
-edit- more precise timestamp

congrats! 10 years of infose twitter tho might get to me personally id be dead inside

[jpiercelt]

Congratulations man, love your videos and your passion for this stuff is downright *contagious!* And as we all know, that's definitely what it takes!

[Schwuuuuup]

Kudos for the was of presentation: the retrospective explaining as a voice over for a recorded screen capture with split-screen, that looks and feels like you are doing it "right now" is quite engaging.
On the downside it promotes the idea, that hacking is fast like in Hollywood movies and not some tedious hour long labor... but you mention it all the time, how long it takes, so it's fine by me.

Back then 10 yrs you were still 20+ yrs ahead of me 😂❣️

Thanks for all your hard work and content over the years, I highly appreciate it!

[sofiaknyazeva]

First congrats! I learn something new whenever I got your amazing live tests with great explanations. Keep it up, it is huge knowledge for everyone, who is interested in CTF and vulnerability research. Alright, let's continue. Peace.

[jefeke]
