HackerSploit
The cybersecurity industry has been trivialized and sensationalized on YouTube, with content creators peddling quick hacks and misinformation for their own financial gain. The speaker stresses the importance of building a strong foundation of skills and knowledge in operating systems, networking, programming, and the OSI model, rather than relying on sensationalist videos. He warns against the younger generation seeing cybersecurity as a form of entertainment rather than a serious industry and emphasizes the need for qualified professionals. The goal of the Hackersploit channel is community-based training and making cybersecurity resources available to everyone, not personal branding or clickbait content.
In this section of the video, the creator of the Hackersploit YouTube channel discusses the trivialization of the cybersecurity industry. While he acknowledges that some content creators are providing helpful and educational information, he is concerned about the prevalence of click bait videos that promise to cover cybersecurity topics but do not deliver. He also notes that his channel is not about him or his personal brand, but rather about community-based training and making cybersecurity resources available to everyone.
In this section, the YouTuber discusses how some content creators on YouTube trivialize and "bastardize" the cybersecurity industry to meet their own financial ends by making videos with sensationalist titles that ultimately contain misinformation and peddled products. He advises viewers to perform research on the qualifications and experience of these creators before taking their advice. He also expresses concern that the younger generation may see cyber security as a form of entertainment rather than a serious and increasingly important industry.
In this section, the speaker discusses how the cybersecurity field has become trivialized and sensationalized, similar to how web development was trivialized a few years ago. He comments that half-hearted professionals are now seeking cybersecurity jobs without proper skills, and how employers can't find qualified people for open cybersecurity positions. The speaker stresses the importance of building a foundation in the field, learning the fundamentals of operating systems, networking, programming, and the OSI model instead of relying on "quick hacks" to become a pro hacker in a week or less.
In this section, the speaker discusses how important it is to focus on leveling up in the cybersecurity industry. He explains that a lot of people watch sensationalist videos that don't teach any valuable skills or knowledge. He urges people to ask themselves what they learned from these videos and to focus instead on building fundamental skills and knowledge necessary for a career in cybersecurity. The speaker emphasizes that although cybersecurity content doesn't always need to be serious, it's necessary to avoid constantly looking for dopamine fixes from sensational content and instead concentrate on improving skills and building knowledge in the industry.
In this section, the speaker gives an analogy of the Renaissance period in which highly skilled artisans were passionate and focused on improving their craft through training. There was no dilly-dallying with reverse engineering, hacking android devices or raspberry pi hacking. However, in 2022, people would see peddlers making videos that claim to teach them how to hack in 24 hours, but it is not possible to learn a skill in such a short time. The speaker believes that it is time to specialize and warns against trivializing cybersecurity by focusing on content that doesn't improve one's knowledge or skillset. He discourages those who only seek to make a quick buck rather than provide quality education. The speaker is not motivated by view numbers but by helping people find jobs as penetration testers and achieve their career dreams.
In this section, the speaker refutes the idea that he purposely creates clickbait content for his YouTube channel. He explains that Hackersploit is about the community and providing informative content based on viewers' suggestions and feedback. He encourages viewers to treat themselves like professionals and to focus on improving their understanding of cybersecurity, which is a synergy of various industries and specializations. Lastly, he thanks the audience for watching and invites them to provide feedback in the comments.
