Seriously, Mashable? You learn how to be a hacker when you study cybersecurity. You HAVE to learn how to hack in order to know how to defend against it. "Ethical Hacking" is the title of one of the classes in my Cybersecurity & Information Assurance college program. It's the same thing. You made this seem sinister.

"Turns" as if hackers are criminals. Hackers are hackers, criminals are criminals. The definition of a hacker have become very warped from what it usually should define.

“I have software that prevents hacking” lol

Wow Mashable. Pretty crappy story. You made legitimate cybersecurity courses taught at a college, where ethical hacking is the norm, and made it look criminal. You misrepresented an entire field of study to push some subpar clickbait headline.

It's a school right? why blurr the faces

will this give me admin on *any* minecraft server?

what is the reason for blurring and voice changing? i felt like im watching a druglord interview.

As a student curious about software development and electrical engineering and hardware development, this class would be CRAZY HELPFUL in understanding how not to do things or to create a way of thinking that allowed me to be consciously aware of software vulnerabilities in systems I work on or work with. I would love to take this course or a similar course, oh my god, this is invaluable and I would love practical experience that allows me to develop more intelligent systems. This course would definitely elevate my standards in developing systems. This would completely change my perspective of security and that is inconceivably valuable. Someone contact me with a course like this, I know a dozen or two software developers that would love to take this course! I have a hard time finding a hands on course like this for cyber security, it's always theory based and I feel so disconnected with the material. I need a course like this.

morphed voices, covered faces, stop please! You act like these guy are on America's most wanted list or something.

0:03 i like how it says "cd Hacktools" lmao

Apart from hacking these schools need to teach ethical values which makes you a humane

lol they're just using metasploit and kali linux and they're like "oh we so sepecial ya"

Hi James, Ive stumbled upon you on TED talk and let me tell you something. YOU ARE AMAZING DUDE. I havent had such a good laugh in a very long time :).

You cannot prevent hacking you can only make it more difficult. There are always flaws, bugs, weak links and vulnerabilities. The question is, "will the hacker find them?"

I joined a club at my university that did shit like this. It was really fun, we attacked and defended eachother's networks. I'm a moron and I could do it. My point is, it's not a big deal and the face blur is unnecessary

He's showing them metasploit, and already patched exploits

I think that this is a good idea, teaching people how to hack. Not everyone is gonna use Hacking to cause harm. They will learn what hackers do and they will be able to defend themselves. I support teaching people how to hack

0:03 literally just on a react js music app

Hacking is so easy. All you need to do is enter "start counterstrike" and send in the cybernukes. If you're getting hacked, just unplug your monitor. Works everytime. No need for antivirus. Run Windows 24/7

This class is literally a haven for future script kiddies

The OS on Mac is Unix, has long you have the knowledge to build from scratch a tool, you can use a Mac. Now Linux is like a open world of possibilities.

I was reading the comments, and it's so sad seeing so many people talking about a subject that they know nothing about, while pretending to know it all.

Can We have a Tor link or Something for online Classes? Just Askin Right *I was Joking*

uhmm theres really no software to prevent hacking only to prevent viruses yes..

If your pc files are lock for ransomware, just restore to a previous point, if you can sacrifice some files.

Hacking: It's about thinking for yourself. (form a CCC story in 2600)

just don't click on any suspicious links, only visit websites with (they're normally trustworthy), only download things you are 100% confident are what you want (e.g. video stock footage or online downloads you purchased etc) and don't connect to any wireless hotspots you can't identify. you should be safe from ~97% of possible hacking attempts.

Firewall is like a condom 99% of the time it’s good enough But There’s always that one percent chance you get knocked up

Sign me right the fuck up

What?! Were they using a mac to hack??

"Software that prevents hacking"

Right, firstly, the WannaCry attack was done by North Korea. Secondly, why are their faces pixelated?

Are all their students 12 year old xbox owners?

First we break your firewall, Then we pay your "Software that prevents hacking" because hackers are very scared of that software.

Smh 'i use firewalls and have tools on my computer which prevents hacking' Laughing harder than i was with thr previous guy's statement

For everyone wondering why they blurred the faces there are two reasons, adding edginess and this comment i copied and pasted from one of my replies on this video: The reason for this may be very apparent. If the teachers do any netsec/pentesting outside of the classroom as a means for more cash there is a chance someone in a company will be able to identify them. Part of a pentest is social engineering, in which the "hackers" test staff out to see if they are compliant with net security standards. If the staff happened to watch this video and managed to identify these dudes as "hackers" then a regulations check on staff would be pointless since they would know. Hackers use social engineering to gain information from people. If a person is aware you are trying to gain that info they are on guard and wont give it to you.

does the sound has to be scary one always

Hackers and instructors should get the Death Penalty

Not really a headliner. Local university to me where I’m doing a masters degree in cyber security. Loads of universities offer these degrees

My CCNA class and messing around with Kali probably has taught me more than this class.

I thought hackers were born by accidents. But they do school?

Looks like a "How to use Metasploit 101" course. I mean...Metasploit is all well and good but it doesn't always work...as anyone who has taken any class in the pentesting domain can tell you. If you can't at least modify the code of a pre-existing exploit to fit your target, or write your own if there's not one, you're definitely not a hacker. Changing options in Metasploit only gets you so far. If they're teaching the methodology behind finding attack vectors and good enumeration techniques, then fine. But again, it only gets you so far.

Back hlat hacking is such a taste of wime

there is no "hacking". you can't teach someone to "hack", unless by "hacking" you mean "use tools that others wrote". Hacking comes naturally when you have a very deep understanding of how systems work and you think unconventionally.

I'm actually scared. He wrote ls in the terminal ..

so its easier to learn code, then hack into something than punching someone in the head?

So, its a netsec class. Why is it secret, and why are the faces blurred? If they are teaching defensive cybersecurity, why would they want to hide? This makes no sense to me!

What are some of these tools hackers use?

Really I am interested in hacking Which country I can learn hacking?

I think that if someone REALLY want to get some information on you, he can do it more or less easly

Why do I have the feeling of having just watched an ad?

'i dont use firewalls or anything like that' Smh, doesnt know about the builtin firewall L

Where is this amazing place??

For us every single day is Christmas.

What’s the name of the school that teaches people how to hack?

can you get hacked only by accesing a link? or you have to download something to be hacked?

No sweets you don’t have software that prevents it. You have software that stops virus’s etc. It’s a little different.

How are u going to switch to cashless if every DIRTBAGS and PAIDACTORSare carrying 3-5 phones, 1 being online.

Not as secretive as the 2nd page of Google. I knew this would be clickbait...I just wanted to make that joke.

I know of many users that don't care if they get hacked.

so where is this school and how much does it cost?

I think it a good idea to show people how to hack I just hope there more positive hackers instead of negative hackers

I have a degree in computer science and software engineering, i spend most of my days hacking peoples email accounts and trolling.

I want to meet a talented hacker And learn from him

WHERE IS THIS SCHOOL ?

..Yet I have to go to normal school.

That one girl that said she has a computer that prevents hacking, challenge accepted. xD

Funny how her friend agrees waving her head like they know what they're talking about.

a school for hacking??...hacking is prob one of the easiest things to do...its scripting and programing codes that confuse people...but those are mainly used to fix websites and block hackers...along with creating viruses

I think while you try to obfuscate their face and voice, you can easily pixel match their faces to get a clear-er image and amp their pitch and db to receive their original voice.

Where the class are teaching...i want to join in that class

Guy with the MacBook should be expelled!

You used to make really good funny videos, you were a comedian. You were unique. Now you're just another news guy.

just go to Embry-Riddle

Hacking is like a gun u can use it for self defens and good or something bad

If I learned how to hack I'd... I'd use it to hack games which is kinda bad.... but then again it's just a game. I'd also use it to defend myself from hackers and finally I'd use it to prank my friends it would be so funny. Maybe on April fools I could hack my teachers computer at school

What is the price for the course?

Where do I sign up to go to that class?

What is the name and location of the school

IT's how it is, or is not used!

I taught Hackers use Linux/Unix not MacOs 🤣

ever heard of Offensive-Security? OSCP? OSCE? Or the insane OSEE?

Every Collage legit has this..

The Google play cards in stores, why are DIRTBAGS tracking it.

Can I know what is the name of this organisation

can someone told me where is this school, i want to join them

Do they have online classes

hi mashable!may i know who these teachers r so that i can conect to them for online course but y r their faces blured ?what institute r they teaching in and their fees ,any clues ,plese reply?

"Software that prevents hacking" Oh please, You can't just download a free software online probably from cnet. Then make your computer unhackable

how do I sign up for a course like that?

good thing all my important stuff is on my flash drive

So they teach ethical hackers the same way they are taught in college ermm ok

"I dont use a firewall"🤣 disabled windows firewall, and router firewall

Uses metasploit once

the brown haired girl at 1:45 and I share that necklace

can anyone take admission in that school?

i think the NHS had it comming by running Windows xp god bless them.

I once hired a hacker and it was a great experience

"Hacker" first terminal images : > ls > ls > ls xD

where I can join
