norgami opening was so unexpected omg

is no one going to talk about that banger song and dance at the end 😂

I would get rid of all the interjecting jokes in your videos. Kind of turns people off when you’re watching your videos

Of all the clips in this video that almost made me spit my drink out, my brain chose OH NAUR as the winner.

Hey mad hat, I am just starting out in this field. You talked about all this can you pls make a video on where to learn all this things in a proper manner ? Or do as you recommend in other video like do Comptia A+ > Network + > Security + and so on?

Here are my notes on todays self taught lessons IT teacher...

This whole time there was a comment of some other student taking notes... Oh well. My 30 minutes was not that wasted seeing that this video was was actually great.


----IT Analysis/Cyber Security, Where and what to look at----



(Always remember to do research)



Basic understanding of how to use and how security tools like Sims, edrs, IDs, IPS, packet inspecting tools like wireshark

and network and computer scanning tools like Nessus, nmap & Etc. How do these work (Very basic, as in you did a module in

try hack me and you can explain like a five year old to people in job interviews)

Why is knowing them important you ask. Because if your security tool, your sim, your EDR identifies such activity as

scanning, then it's good to know what exactly that is.



(Hacking is easy get onto Try Hack Me ASAP!)





Sublime is better than VS Code... yes that is true but I'm sticking with VS Code until I get bored.

MadHat: "Talking to u Windows defender. U suck! No he doesn't"
Me: *had a presentation today where I executed a keylogger on my computer which was connected through tcp to a server and Windows Defender was like idk...in vacation maybe

Well if this is all true mentioned in this video then i should be working already for a 5 sweet years, but guess what NOPE!!

The "I identify as a JPEG" edit has me dying lmao

You must be a character from GTA 6

That outro though XD

would you still use crowd strike? 🤣🤣🤣

The best freaking cybersecurity channel 🤣🤣🤣

I love the humor in this video haha. I am starting school for Cybersecurity & Information Assurance here soon. I am about to finish my degree BA in Business Information Systems. I also did 9 years in the Air Force and performed various roles mostly doing IT type of stuff, like unit Cybersecurity Liaison. I never got my certs so that's why I am starting school. It's been difficult getting a job. Do you help peeps with their resumes too?

You're amazing man

Crowdstrike is super-effective against the user too.

Where are you searching for these entry level security positions? It may just be the job market rn but I live in a very large city, and indeed only has about 2 pages of job listings, mostly for engineers/senior/managers with even the level 1s asking for 3-5+ years of exp minimum or required! Are remote positions common or even harder to get since more applicants from all across the US? I may have to look into relocation but imposter syndrome scares me in case anything happens and I would be out of a job in a new city. Thanks, I am loving all the videos they are incredibly relatable and informative!

RuneScape > WoW :)

02:30 I'm dead 😭

So would coding help in anyway?

banger outro song

thanks so much for this video now I know exactly what to learn.

and if i know all this, i can magically land a job? because the things you have listed are very very basic things

Hey mad hat, what certs would cover these well?

Thank You

🎉appreciate all you do with videos 🎉working on it 👍 😀 👌

Hey man , I'm currently doing my Alevels & I'm wondering whether I need a CS Undergraduate degree if I want to be a security analyst ? Can I take your certification path and still have an edge or do I need a degree ? If I should start as a beginner , I should know about the stuff mentioned in this video and what else do I need ? Thanks if you can answer

That's a nice boulder, i like that boulder
