He knew the moment he saw the teachers salary that a normal life isn‘t worth it

This guy is the reason why my banking app requires 20 passwords.

I love when he said “I was kind of pissed off that I was getting arrested” like this is gonna be one of those chores that he needed to do before continuing on with his life.

I like how he looks proud to explain the weakness in the justice system when talking about the charges. The essence of a true hacker

You can tell he was trying to simplify absolutley everything for the interviewer. He wanted to go into complex details but he couldn't as no one would understand.

I like that he never sounded like he was trying to brag about all the hackings he committed. He just explained what he did in the most normal way possible.

I envy these kind of intelligent and skillful people. They are so talented and smart when it comes to learn how to do things on their own.

This dudes a G, didnt snitch to the cops, crazy smart, and so nonchalant

ngl this is exactly how I imagined all hackers look like

A CEO of a company is using the same password for his private emails PayPal and World of Warcraft. This got me good.

"I cracked the pentagon's firewall in highschool on a dare." -T. S

Realising that one day in some late nights i was in the same chat rooms with this guy. i was under 18 too and enjoying what we were doing 😂. Oh man we had such a beautitul childhood with backtrack 2 3 till 5R3. Glad to see this guy is doing well and that we are finally still doing what we like and admire, ethically and legally. Peace ✌️ Ex Anonymous Lebanon 🇱🇧 Member.

You can tell he's struggling to go slow, his brain is too fast to go at that speed and stills explains things so simply and structured. My guy.

The thing is, they get arrested but they also get hired to work for things like the FBI, as these guys are obviously crazy smart. So they get hired for cyber defence

How hacking looks in movies: *Person typing on 50 computers hacking cars, and planes* How hacking is in real life: *Samsung phone sound*

I’m trying my hardest to understand how clever this man is but can’t grasp it

I got the impression he had no evil intentions, he was just fanatically curious about how computer programs work, and how to crack them. He has developed immensely useful abilities he can now use in a responsible fashion.

Mock him all you want... this man you see in this video has some serious brain-power.

I would love to do a boot camp with this gentleman… I imagine he could teach more in a few days than years of self directed learning

This is an amazing story, Mustafa, and how you are doing right now, PHD and a wonderful company with more than 50 employees.

For fun, this dude checks this video's comments. Finds rude comments and hacks those folks through a back door.

For everyone saying he’s not showing any emotion, he does...A LOT. If anything, he may be a bit shy/uncomfortable in front of all the cameras. He’s really trying to explain the best way possible.

I work with young adults with high-functioning Autism, this young man's matter-of-fact demeanour and genius has signs of being on the spectrum. I wish him well and hope a decent cyber security firm employs him in the future.

He's so open, incredibly honest, so so pure. I find his way of thinking and approaching his focus on hacking and his talents for it very captivating and interesting to watch. Look at the 'aliveness' of his eyes, they are quite numb, yet is very present. From a phsychological point of view, this is most facinating...

I swear hackers are the nerdiest looking criminals out there, but they are not to be messed with. They can ruin your life in so many ways.

He is now on Forbes 30 under 30 list and has Phd in comp sci, he is comp sci researcher now. Obviously, he is smart

you know about everything he said there i was really impress because the boldness he got by explaining everything in details and with good memory of illustration how everything really go , and how he do what he does. i just love the way they think and does thing persistence and self relies

This man works as a researcher and is building stuff for others. He's learned life lessons and is now doing well in life.

I wasn’t scared I was pissed off that I was arrested 😂😂😂😂

all the Tunisian people including me have to thank this guy for supporting our revolution and helping us get through those tough times.

I love this channel, and this is one of their most intriguing interviews.

Wow, this video is so eye-opening! It's incredible to see how someone so young could have such an immense talent for hacking. It's clear that he has a true passion for understanding how computer systems work and how to manipulate them. I appreciate how he emphasized the importance of using his skills for good, rather than malicious intent. It's also interesting to see how the justice system handled his case and the potential opportunities for hackers to use their skills for cybersecurity defense. Overall, this video was both informative and thought-provoking. Thanks for sharing, LADbible TV!

This guy is hacking at age 9. I was learning to tie my shoes.

He said information can give power and can change the world. I couldn’t agree more with this

I want him to go full rap mode on details of the hacking... He is such genuine guy!!

thanks for your interview

I totally understand why the curiosity of doing something that you not supposed to do. Life is a curiosity

Hacker: I was 9 years old when I first got into computers... Interviewer: So how old where you ? Hacker: ...I was 9

Awh malicious intentions of others that try to blackmailing journalists. I'm glad this guy is on our side. Journalists and human rights activists need to be protected

Love that he shouted out the show "Mr.Robot" big up for this man

No stutter, straight to the point, detail description ect. This guy isn’t scared and is calm in what he does and is fully telling the truth. Respect! This guy is a genius in the making.

80 different charges but they only had time to charge him with 40 of them due to 24hr hold.... justice system is a strange system

Probably one of my favorite video I have watched in a year

You are really a good content creator. *THANKS* for making such a good content. I love that. You deserve more subscribers. *KEEP GOING*

My first “hack” was in 7th grade when I discovered the software my school used in Keyboarding class could be scammed/hacked. The teacher would make us type into this program with our keyboards covered and the test would be timed. I discovered that if I typed the first word, and then held down the space bar, the program would count that as successful typing. So I’d score these outrageous typing speeds and it was only when the teacher looked at what I actually typed and not just the score the program sent her that I was busted. The sad thing is I could type faster than most of the other kids without cheating. I just liked being able to scam the system. Sorry, Mrs. Waddle.

What a dude, no bragging and shit just calmly explaining what happened. I like it

Having worked in IT security for some time, I think a lot of people have a misunderstanding of where the security vulnerabilities are. People are given a false sense of security, too. I will address these as briefly as possible, so bear with the long post. -ANY data that you put online, which is data that can be accessed from a remote computer, can be stolen. I am not fear mongering. ANY data. -The data that you access is saved on servers and the servers are targeted. -Routers are highly vulnerable and often used as an entry way to a server. Most routers were an afterthought, not built with security in mind. If you can update your router firmware, do it! -Your router board or server motherboard may have secret chips on them, planted by the Chinese government. An IT admin would have full network monitoring capability and would know if data was being sent to an unknown server. This first made the news about 8 years ago, however I have yet to see a follow up to it actually being verified. So take that for what its worth. Your Work computer: Your IT dept. tells or forces you to change your password often. That is to prevent a fellow employee of dubious character from accessing your machine. In rarer cases, to prevent someone who doesn't belong in the building in the first place. False sense of security given to public: You are told to change your passwords and create "strong" passwords to make you feel good about using a completely insecure platform. -The password for your online account does NOT prevent your data from being stolen. Remember, I said servers and routers are often the target. Your specific password has no bearing on those attacks. -Complex passwords do NOT equate to better security. The LENGTH of the password is what enhances security. You can have a long password that is insecure: 123456789101112131415 is NOT a good password and neither is 5555555555555555555. Common public vulnerabilities: -Phishing and e-mail. NEVER open attachments from emails of people you do not know. example attachments are pdf, xls, doc. Block and delete the email if possible. If it occurs at work report it to your IT staff. -never open links within emails. These often take you to malicious sites. Again, this refers to emails from unknown senders. -if someone you trust is emailing you something that seems really odd, don't open the attachment or click on the link. Text or call them and ask if they sent you that email. Chances are they did not. -never use the same PW for multiple accounts. This of course does not cover everything but I hope it helps people.

What a truly fascinating character. Very interesting watch. Super high IQ and very raw experience sharing

This man definitely will become a highly sought after professor someday

He looks like me after spending 6 hours debugging an issue with pointer arithmetic.

fascinated how talented this guy is ....i mean some people can play sports this guy is something else

He reminds me of a book I read, it‘s called „perfect storm“ I think. It‘s about a group of teenagers that find out a us company is exploiting workers and decide to hack into their system to get the evidence to publish it via wiki leaks, while a secret service something is trying to find them and expose their identities. Really good book don‘t know how realistic it is tho

What I learned from this is that I can play WoW and be a CEO at the same time.

Imagine this guy and Harry Kane having a conversation

Wtf was that little headshot rotation at 2:56 lmao

I really liked how he described how he got interested in hacking. How he got interested in hacking calculator websites and how he would insert code into them instead of normal numbers.

As a Tunisian you guys were like super heroes back in 2011 you helped us a lot #respect

LadBible stepped up their game with this new form of content.

whats with the glamour shots ( 6:26, like why the 1 second clip zoomed in on this dudes face lmao? ) they are in every video lmao

This guys not a criminal. He’s an inquisitive genius. Not a malicious bone in him. He’s not interested in causing any harm. Just a “tinker man” who likes the mechanics of it all. Fair play to him. Can’t have been easy dealing with American authorities. He should be hired what a skill set!

Honestly, this guy is just such good vibes. Brave for getting out of his comfort zone & going on camera. Insane skills & frankly he was doing some great stuff. Good on the lad!

He really is like a character who could be straight out of Mr Robot

"his world of warcraft account" lmao

Damn this is just too good content Love it so much!❤️❤️❤️❤️

I liked the "As soon as they came into my room, they knew they had the right person". I've never understood why companies that are hacked don't employ the hacker to show their security weakness. They will have paid a fortune for their security. Kudos bud

Man said he found the teachers salary 😂

Bro look like he got a pillow under his shirt😭

Police and judge : You can not use the internet Also Police and Judge : You must send us an e-mail every time you buy a new computer. How is that supposed to work ?

the fact that a ceo isn't using a password manager to randomise his passwords once a week is hilarious.

All you people making fun. This one man and many solo people like him are 10x more dangerous than any "Terrorist / Gang". Little "nerds" are under the radar and can ruin your life! Imagine how much your life is social media based or online.

I love this guy, could watch him all day.

I personally enjoy computers and hacking,most hackers I sometimes meet brag about this big impressive malware attack (although I mostly meet white hat hackers but this is for a example) but this dude was part of anonymous,and is basically a computer genius and puts it to where he is not bragging.

I like this man. I respect him very much. The future of fighting massive multi billion dollar corporations and corrupt governments relies on genius minds like his. His mother must be SO proud...I would be! ;)

My brother hacked into his school stuff to show them how badly it was coded. Then all the girls started saying he’d hacked into the school cameras in their dorm rooms. Even tho they didn’t even have cameras…. Feel kinda sorry for him, he was only trynna do a good thing

Foarte interesant! Astea da știri. Rămâi consternat. Este fără cuvinte.

Class act in how *not* to incriminate oneself after incarceration/reprimand. What a G.

For a kid that kind off hacking would have made me give respect to him as a cop.

PLS give the interviewer a microphone already

Just fantastic!

I will always admire this sort of work..

1990’s Internet was like 1960’s houses.. no one locked their doors..

Dude ❤️ Finally put a face to the name. So many hours of laughs back then, reading about the defence contractor's wife pleading for them to give back his accounts. These guys were fighting true evil in the world, with the best logo imaginable for the task.. 😂

He explains everything so well, he'd be an unreal lecturer haha

Thanks so much #minslegend!! Literally the only person that actually work…

His accent is everything except American lol

Reminds me of the genius lead actor from the tv show “Scorpion” Zero emotion,straight to the point!!!😂😂

Genius. The law enforcement knew not to mess with him. 😆 He'd just hack his way out of anything. Impressive.

As a Tunisian, I thank you for your participation in our revolution! I was watching this and not expecting at all that my tiny country would show up.

This guy has more destructive potential than some armies.

SMART is an understatement And compassionate

I'm glad when he say "Mr.Robot had been the most realistic in terms of potraying hacking".

If you watch his face in a close-up, there's dense make-up under his eyes possibly covering dark circles or eyebags. Imagine how much sleep he has sacrificed to get to where he is now.

Lets hope he puts his talent to good use. Such an amazing guy.

Aye mentioning MR ROBOT, one hell of a show seen it twice :D

Microsoft Frontpage... I was there too... Next was assembly programming language and hours on studying debug tools... lol

when he was mentioning good hacks in TV shows I was juuus waiting for him to say 'Mr. Robot'

Dope episode! I need more of these!💯

love his open source mind…the best idea wins

When he started speaking about the CEO and his WOW account I was like well now we know what he’s really being hacked for.

This just ticked all the stereotypical hacker boxes for me, anyone else? Great video and although what he did was heavily illegal hats off to him sounds like a smart chap!
