You need to learn Linux. I've said this for a very long time. Occupy The Web says the same thing - if you want to learn hacking, you need to lean Linux.

I'm 37 and working on my 3rd post college career. Buying the book on payday. Finished my first cybersec cert last night. Never stop learning.

I’m 47 yrs old & for the last ten years I’ve been dipping in and out of Linux & CL all the while never really taking it seriously. David, your channel has really inspired me to really delve into this craft. A big thanks to OTW and other guests you’ve had on your show.

OTW: "Theres a lot of in-depth Linux books, but nobody reads those books" He's exactly right, ive been learning Linux for 2 years and never wasted my time reading a Linux book thats full of everything because I know at the end I would understand nothing. I bought "Linux Basics for Hackers" honestly just to support OTW. Didnt think I would make it past the first chapter. I finished it in two days. And it has been invaluable; and also just a good experience because you can tell he has a passion for this Linux, just as I do now.

The dreamteam! Looking forward for the second part. I like the combination of the two topics, talking about hacking (like the password lists), while also showing around the Linux system. This makes it entertaining and educational at the same time.

Hey I bought your book about 3 months aga and love it. Putting it and these videos together is awesome. Keep it going, I love it.

As one of the many subs on here looking to get into CS I just wanted to say thanks David and Occupy The Web for simplifying things. This is why I love your content.

I'm buying this book because I appreciate you taking your time and showing people how to use linux and the fundamentals in a quick way. Thank you

You’re both awesome for putting this out. I have the book, but it’s fantastic to be able to see everything real-time with commentary

This is Gold! More Linux videos please 🙏. OTW explains the basics WAY better than the instructors in my bootcamp lol

Such a clear and concise explanation of some common Linux commands. No holding back, just simply sharing what you know to be helpful and useful in the hacking space. Thank You to both you and your guest for sharing your expertise!

Thank you so much for this! I needed this so badly. Definitely will be following this series and buying the books.

So much practical knowledge. That's how you teach stuff. Thank you OTW and David. Hoping to see your next videos.

Thanks to both of you for sharing your experiences and knowledge. And for preaching low cost educational opportunities. As I’m pushing 50yo my body isn’t up for next level challenges but my brain will soak up any info , knowledge I can get ahold of. Your videos alone are a wealth of knowledge backed by your guest’s real world experiences . It’s a great place to start and constantly revisit. Thanks for all you do for everyone!

I bought the book a few months ago and read the first few chapters, but things in life came up and I had to take a break (was planning on picking it back up next week actually). And then saw this in my feed. Perfect timing to get refamiliar with the first chapter while I'm wrapping up some stuff or driving around. Thank you David and OTW! You two are my favorite two teachers and seeing you together is always a treat!

Such a great video! I read Linux Basics for Hackers a few years ago, probably when you made your first video with OTW. So thank you both for this refresher for me, I really appreciate it and there is such valuable content in this video! I'm going to reread the book and rewatch this video again to catch up with my friend Linux! I can't wait and I'm excited to see the next video! You two, who are in my TOP 5 teacher/pedagogue with Chris Greer and Rana Khalil (whom YOU introduced me to, I will never be grateful enough to you!). Nice work as always David!

I love OTW style of teaching. Thank you for your content ! It’s allowing me to study, up skill and hopefully switch career😄 it’s been super helpful 🤗

Great introduction to Linux. The best thing what I heard was 'in future videos'. I think this can be very useful serial 'Linux for hackers'. OTW is so generous to walk us through material that for him is like rooky level but still take the time and do it with such a passion!

A very educational video like always. Also I congratulate the 2 million subscribers for you

You guys are the best, very easy to understand. I have nothing but great feedback, thank you for continuing to share knowledge and I look forward to seeing more of your videos

I am currently reading the book from OTW, and having a video of what I've read is just really nice to have. Keep it up!

this is so well done, I really enjoy the voice and tone of the instructor, a pleasure to listen to and learn, thank you guys!!

A Great video David, hope to continue this training. you are a start. Thanks so much.

This is great I got the book and really trying to get over the first hurdle and coming across this video just made that hurdle so much easier, thank you both.

This is beyond awesome. Just started dipping my toes in the CyberSecurity field and I’m in owe of how fascinating and diverse it is. And you guys just became my “mentors” so to speak haha. Keep the awesome job guys, greetings from Venezuela

My dad got me this book when I was 13, two years later I'm back and this free resource is amazing and has helped me so much. Thank you!

Seriously I recently started getting into linux and been downloading torrents and all sort, this is the best tutorial i found so far. Please continue with this series. Thank you again. Great stuff ❤

Bryce Canyon in the Juniper advert? Great place to visit. Bought all three OTW books recently for me and my son to plough through. As OTW mentions, your Kali Linux in VirtualBox video is the best method for setting up Kali instead of viewers/readers following the outdated (published 2019) instructions in Linux Basics for Hackers.

There's a few issues with this book that I really feel need to be highlighted: * Snort is no longer in the Kali repos since its been deprecated for quite awhile now making one of the chapters impossible to follow with present day Kali * The recommendation of using pip install is a really bad practice that's even warned against in the recent blog posts for Kali 2023. * The recommendation of adding Ubuntu or PPA repositories for extra software is a big big nono and specifically mentioned NOT to do in Kali's own documentation because it will break your system's ability to update: these things really should be addressed and highlighted and I would encourage you to recommend an update or 2nd Edition revision to correct these glaring flaws. Outside of that I don't really have other issues with the book but beginners and people new to Kali NEED to be aware of these downsides to the book. My comment keeps getting deleted so I've removed the reference links to prove what I'm saying about python and adding 3rd party repositories to be accurate but this can be verified on the Kali website in the recent blog posts and in the official Kali documentation

Great stuff David sir , this knowledge is supreme

I really appreciate your effort in making quality, easily understood videos about this cybersecurity topic! Thank you! I like these tricks like grep and other useful basic skills tutorials, I guess it's useful for even more experienced users too (practice makes perfect). I like to hear more about the "talk it about later" topics (eg user and service management, which are the common services (eg ssh)). I think it could be a good memo for "normal" Linux users too to detect/avoid attacks or any other misconfiguration problem in their system.

This is one of the best intro presentations of the Linux shell environments, basic commands, and directory layout I have seen. It explains the 'why' behind a lot of things. Great work. I'll refer Linux newbies to this.

This is such a great channel. Thank you David. I have the book written by OTW and it is awesome.

Last week I started studying for the LPI Linux essentials certification exam. Any explanations given in this video are some of the best I've ever heard. Buying that book!

David, your chamnel has grown exponentially and it's awesome to see, and well deserved. Well done.

I'm absolutely buying this book. I'm in college now going through a Computer Science degree, and you two have been invaluable in really helping me grasp what I am learning. Thank you so much

Thank you, David! Another great video!

I look forward to more of these. Thank you. I have this book, and am fairly proficient with Linux and BASH, but there are still nuggets in the video that help clarify some things. For example, I didn't get the real difference between 'service' and 'systemctl', so it was helpful to hear that the latter is just a newer, better, way of managing services.

This is really great content!! Thank you David!!

Perfect sound quality !! Thank you 🙏🙏❤

Wow! So Understandable much more than going through stuff myself; Thank you! I will definitely look out for the next one.

Thanks David, I love these videos with you and OTW, I will be showing these to new Linux users who have an interest in ethical hacking, great starting point for noobs. Much appreciated. Thx

David ... you are so generous and kind to share valuable information that make changes someone life .....

Wish I could like this video a thousand times!!! Looking forward to more content on this series!!!!

Once again bringing the best top quality content. Thank you

This class is very informative. Just listening to this class, I had to order his book from Amazon. I love his teaching technique

Great content David and OTW - best KZfaq channel for this type of content

I love this episode with Occupy The Web. Even if I'm older, but "Explain me like I'm 5 years old" works like a charm. This guy is a great teacher 😃

I loved it, a lot of information with examples, just perfect!!!

I already have the book, I have already read it, but doing this with OTW in person is much much better. Thank you very much for this David, you are a great person.

great as always. thank You for sharing and spreading your knowledge

What a good idea. I' improving my Linux knowledge with OTW's book. This video and hopefully the coming up ones a very helping complement. Thanks a lot.

Amazing video you both are great teachers. Even for someone like me that’s been using Linux for a long time.

So instructive as always thx for both of you guys

Great series...cant wait to see the next video.

Late starter here, as i have been trying to study up on many other parts of Networking, i have bought the book and find it very informational. Bought the book many moons ago and let it sit in the back till i am ready... Now i am ready and so glad you are doing the videos... as i see your on the fourth video beyond this video... so i had to back up after watching the fourth video... thought video was going to be a interview Q&A... so glad it was more than this. I have been working on the Networking side of things and wanted to go deep into Linux.. been working on it... and now with the video(s) things are looking very clear. So because of the fourth video...and the now the other video's, i have ordered the books that David has been holding up... PLEASE KEEP THE VIDEOS ROLLING... looking forward to more education... i actually have been following along and testing the commands out.. very good Information...

This was extremely informative. Is there a part two on this? Thanks allot Daivd....💪

Do glad to hear you state that it's not always best to get the 'latest and greatest'. My viewpoint as well!

Ok I bought the the two books on kali linux and I install the virtual box it took me a couple of tryis but finally i got kali in a virtual box and I want to thank you for this type of video that give to the people hope and inspiration to continue learning . Thank you again. 😊

Such a great video. THANK YOU. This 1 hour was exactly what I needed. I just started his book and this video is a much easier way to learn. THANKS David and OTW

Much Appreciate you and OTW to share the knowledge ❤

I have been using Linux for years and taken college courses in it. That being said, I still was able to pick up a few pieces of awesome information from this video! OTW is a wonderful teacher as well! I have been loving these videos

Thank you so much for this video! I’m learning bash and scripting right now. I’m also using Linux as my main OS to force myself to learn more. Absolutely love these videos!

Thanks to these resources I recently shifted from data engineering to cybersecurity. As I already had strong knowledge of python, sql and network security, my transition was quick and smooth.

This video was gorgeous it finished in a blink😂💔 thank u so much David and thank u OTW for this helpful video I just put a schedule to read Basic Linux for Hackers but with these videos I will have a great combo by watching these videos and read the book chapters it will help in theory and practical😍 all love and respect ❤

More of these sessions pls and thank you both

Even though I am not into hacking, but use linux as a software developer, this is one of the absolute best introduction videos I have seen. I actually learned something new about the underlying infrastructure even with 15 years of experience 🙂

So thankful for everything you and OTW do. ❤

Awesome there's a video series on this book from OTW, ty for making that happen David. I plan on getting this book when I have the money just to have a physical copy. PDF libraries just aren't the same.

Thanks David & OTW! Wonderful Video!

Great video and also a Great book! I picked up a copy in 2022 and completed it during my christmas break. Hes spot on - I never read my college textbooks cover to cover but with this book, it was easy!

I would like to see a conversation of you(David Bombal) and network chuck talking about how to set up your own proxy systems and ways to hide yourself using tools and strategies.

David...man you're a legend in my book...years of consistancy. Thank you Brother!

Amazing 🎉… I literally almost gave up on checking out Linux on KZfaq till I found this video . I enjoyed this ❤

I have Kali setup on a laptop with some VMs on it for targets and some running on a Proxmox server to target over my network. I thought itd be a more well rounded setup and sounds like it was a good idea. I am nowhere near the level you guys are but I am a long time Linux user that is fascinated with ethical hacking and this is some great information.I didnt know that different versions of Kali were like that or that I shouldve kept my old Backtrack images.

A big thanks David and OTW for this initiative. I asked my team members to follow with me this course to gain more skills and listen interesting stories at the same time ;) 本当にありがとう(^_^)

Happy to learn Linux from OTW. Thanks for this video David!

Please keep this going and also even if just a short amount of time, would you please release a video every 2-3 days ?? That should be really helpful but I understand if you've time constraint and overall I just appreciate you sharing such lectures in general so THANKS A LOT!!

Great demo, thank you for sharing!

WOW i can't wait for the next video!!! I just bought the book too

Great Book! I refer to this book all the time.

my best KZfaq channel for learning computing .whenever I found time learn I always click this.

Great job, the video compliments the book so we'll and has answered a few questions I had.

Congratulations David, Great tutorial as always. Thumbs up!

Great content .....we need more courses on Linux

I loved the content, his way of explaining is easy to comprehend. I would love to see more and especially how to land a job in this field in 2024

Im glad you guys are doing this

Great video and i got the books with your links. Thank you😊

I love this guy. He obviously gets joy from doing what he does and his conversational way of presenting his knowledge makes learning really easy and enjoyable. Also David just lets him go without unnecessary interuptions

Thanks Mr david and OTW I am waiting for this series

This was an amazing lecture thank you very much for this ,I already bought the book it is very useful.

Ty. This has been a delightful refresher listening to while working. Made me remember a few things i never use and should be. Appreciate you both 🐧🐧🐧

Always wanted this type of a video from you

Need more video like this with OTW Please continue this series from beginner to advance to learn ethical hacking.❤❤❤

Thank you to both of you!

This video is amazing and the secret guy knows how to teach -- Thank you so much for the video and the book - Praise from India

Love the stuff that you do with OTW

Thank you for everything man you really saved my life and helping me to get through school

Im that person who dreams with being a Hacker and starts with a lot of passion and than get discouraged because I dont know where to start but now that I found you guys I start to have an idea and I apreciate your videos and your time thanks to both

Thanks for sharing. My first try with linux was with Mandrake around 99/2000. It was a nightmare to get somewhat working on my PC back then. Funny thing is, i can still remember the terminal commands that i had to type in to get into getting the dial up to work. The guy at my ISP helped me with that part. 😂 i ditched linux not long afterward and went back to Windows. I recently installed Mint to play around with and i really like it so this video is a huge help. Thanks 👍
