OTW says he keeps finding real malware on normal people's iPhones. We talk Pegasus spyware, the Meta vs NSO lawsuit over WhatsApp, Apple's new memory integrity protections, and why a $5M bug bounty still won't stop well-funded spyware. We also get into how one infected phone can take over your entire WiFi and smart home, why your router and VPN box are the weakest link, and what “everything is hackable” really means for you. // Occupy The Web SOCIAL // X: / three_cube Website: https://hackers-arise.net/ // Occupy The Web Books // Linux Basics for Hackers 2nd Ed US: https://amzn.to/3TscpxY UK: https://amzn.to/45XaF7j Linux Basics for Hackers: US: https://amzn.to/3wqukgC UK: https://amzn.to/43PHFev Getting Started Becoming a Master Hacker US: https://amzn.to/4bmGqX2 UK: https://amzn.to/43JG2iA Network Basics for hackers: US: https://amzn.to/3yeYVyb UK: https://amzn.to/4aInbGK // OTW Discount // Use the code BOMBAL to get a 20% discount off anything from OTW's website: https://hackers-arise.net/ // Playlists REFERENCE // Linux Basics for Hackers: • Linux for Hackers Tutorial (And Free Courses) Mr Robot: • Hack like Mr Robot // WiFi, Bluetooth and ...

• #518: How Cisco Links Data Centers: 64x800G at 51.2 Tbps Securely

  Big thanks to Cisco for Sponsoring this video. For more information about the topic being discussed follow the following link: https://blogs.cisco.com/news/the-thir... Cisco’s Martin Lund joins David Bombal to unpack how AI-scale networking really works - and why a 51.2 Tbps, 64×800G, post-quantum–ready router matters. We break down scale-up vs scale-out vs scale-across, deep buffers to prevent drops on long-haul links, line-rate IPsec/MACsec, SONiC vs IOS XR, P4 programmability, coherent optics for ~1000 km DCI, and how these pieces enable exabit-class fabrics for AI clusters. What you’ll learn • Why GPUs are useless without massive, reliable interconnects • 51.2 Tbps with 64×800G ports and what that enables for AI training • Deep buffers vs shallow buffers and when each wins • Line-rate encryption today and post-quantum readiness tomorrow • SONiC on Cisco Silicon One, P4, and automation at hyperscale If you found this useful, hit subscribe and share with your favorite network nerd.

• #517: Have you been hacked? Advanced detection method

  Big thanks to Brilliant for sponsoring this video. To try everything Brilliant has to offer, visit https://brilliant.org/davidbombal or scan the QR code onscreen – You’ll also get 20% off an annual premium subscription. Think you’ve been hacked? In this video, David Bombal and OTW (OccupyTheWeb) walk you through OSQuery - a free, open-source tool that lets you query your operating system like a database. You’ll learn the exact SQL-style commands to find: • Listening processes & remote connections (spot command-and-control) • Suspicious services and misspelled look-alikes • Persistence via registry startup items and scheduled tasks • Fileless malware (on_disk = 0) running only in RAM OTW draws from real digital forensics cases (200+ inquiries/month), including harassment, divorce disputes, and business rivalries. We also explain why antivirus often fails once malware is resident—and what you can do next (kill the process, remove the file, and harden startup entries). // Occupy The Web SOCIAL // X: / three_cube Website: https://hackers-arise.net/ // Occupy The Web Books // Linux Basics for Hackers 2nd Ed US: https://amzn.to/3TscpxY UK: https://amzn.to/45XaF7j Linux Basics for Hackers: US: https://amzn.to/3wqukgC UK: https://amzn.to/43PHFev Getting Started Becoming a Master Hacker US: https://amzn.to/4bmGqX2 UK: https://amzn.to/43JG2iA Network Basics for hackers: US: https://amzn.to/3yeYVyb UK: https://amzn.to/4aInbGK // OTW Discount // Use the code BOMBAL to get a 20% discount off anything from OTW's website: https://hackers-arise.net/ // YouTube video REFERENCE // Have you been hacked?
