David Bombal

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 If you found this useful, hit subscribe and share with your favorite network nerd.

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.

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.

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 // Sponsored SEGMENT // Big thanks to Cisco for sponsoring this video. // Kyle Winters SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / kyle-m-winters Cisco Blogs:  https://blogs.cisco.com/author/kylewi... // Websites REFERENCE // MetasploitMCP by GH05TCREW: https://github.com/GH05TCREW/Metasplo...
