cyber security is easy you just don't
0:02
get hacked that's it done thanks for
0:04
watching no but seriously if you've ever
0:07
tried learning cyber security you
0:08
probably started with a YouTube video
0:10
titled Top 10 Cyber Security Skills You
0:12
Need in 2025 that made you feel like you
0:15
had to master networking learn every
0:16
Linux command ever created reverse
0:19
engineer a nuclear reactor and build
0:20
your own seam from scratch and that was
0:23
just to pass the first interview but
0:25
here's the twist most of cyber security
0:27
isn't hard it's just over complicated on
0:29
purpose you've got people on Reddit
0:31
talking in acronyms like they're
0:32
summoning demons make sure your sock is
0:34
aligned with your seam and follow zero
0:36
trust while integrating your CCEDR
0:38
pipeline with AIdriven anomaly detection
0:40
and you're sitting there googling what
0:42
is a safe and wondering if it's a
0:44
security framework or a new K-pop group
0:46
the truth is people love to gatekeep it
0:48
makes them feel smart but in reality
0:50
cyber security is mostly about one thing
0:53
figuring out how things break and that
0:55
part is kind of fun and let's talk about
0:57
real hacks for a second not the
0:59
Hollywood kind where a guy slams a
1:00
keyboard and yells "I'm in." I'm talking
1:02
about actual cyber security incidents
1:05
most of them don't happen because some
1:06
elite hacker from the dark web found a
1:08
zero day in your colonel they happen
1:10
because Dave in HR used the password 123
1:13
across 18 different login and clicked on
1:15
an email that said "Click here to
1:16
receive your $100 Amazon gift card."
1:19
That's it that's the hack and boom
1:21
ransomware you look at companies getting
1:23
breached and you think it must have been
1:24
some state sponsored cyber ninja but nah
1:27
it was an open s3 bucket named public
1:29
backup final final zip and a missing
1:32
firewall rule uber literally got
1:34
breached because someone left admin
1:35
credentials in a PowerShell script
1:37
rockstar games got pawned by a teenager
1:39
most breaches don't start with a buffer
1:41
overflow they start with someone
1:42
forgetting to log out of Slack the
1:44
problem is we've built this mythos
1:46
around cyber security like you need to
1:48
understand every single layer of the OSI
1:50
model just to get started or you need to
1:52
know how to code in C Rust Python and
1:55
Morse code but if you look at actual
1:57
professionals what do they do they
1:58
Google a lot they read documentation try
2:01
something it breaks they panic fix it it
2:03
breaks again then they copy a Stack
2:05
Overflow answer that somehow works
2:07
that's it that's the job you don't need
2:09
to know everything you don't even need
2:10
to know most things you need to be
2:12
curious you need to not be afraid to
2:14
break stuff and you need to be able to
2:16
laugh when things go horribly horribly
2:17
wrong because they will and that's how
2:19
you learn want to actually get better at
2:21
cyber security stop trying to master
2:23
every tool pick one thing and break it
2:26
spin up a try hackme box do a hack the
2:28
box beginner machine set up a lab and
2:31
MITM your own traffic play with
2:33
Wireshark look at what normal traffic
2:35
looks like then throw malware in there
2:37
and see what changes don't spend 6 hours
2:39
memorizing end map flags just scan
2:42
something then Google what it means it's
2:44
like learning to fight by watching UFC
2:46
videos versus actually getting in the
2:47
ring and getting punched reading blog
2:49
posts is cool but nothing teaches you
2:52
like breaking into a box and yelling yes
2:54
when you finally find that one hidden
2:55
base 64 string that leads to an SSH key
2:58
that feeling that's when cyber security
3:00
clicks or you can keep googling how to
3:03
hack for the next 3 years maybe cyber
3:05
security isn't easy in the sense that it
3:07
takes zero effort but it's not some
3:09
mythical art that only geniuses can do
3:11
it's a puzzle a bunch of little puzzles
3:13
stacked on top of each other and you get
3:15
better at solving them one broken
3:16
terminal at a time you're going to fail
3:19
you're going to feel dumb you're going
3:20
to spend 3 hours chasing a bug only to
3:23
realize you were editing the wrong
3:24
config file the whole time but you're
3:26
also going to pop your first shell or
3:28
bypass your first login screen or catch
3:30
your first fishing attempt in the wild
3:32
and feel like a god and in that moment
3:34
you'll realize cyber security is kind of
3:37
easy actually
