How do I stop someone like you?
Does it mean I have to buy like Fortinet
and then behind that have another vendor?
So have two firewalls, what do I do?
We can still identify you without using your IP address.
This is called browser fingerprinting.
So this is a DOS attack against us.
So then your people can't connect to the VPN.
If something's for free, if the service is for free,
you are not the customer, right?
You are the product, right?
they are connecting your IP address, all right,
to your identity.
Be wise about your choices and don't be fooled
by the advertisements that appear on the safety of VPS.
This video is sponsored by OTW.
Now I'm just kidding.
This video is not sponsored by anyone.
We're not recommending that you use a specific VPN
in this video.
To be transparent and make sure that this video
only brings you value,
I'm not gonna put any sponsorships on this video.
Everyone, it's David Bombal back with the amazing OTW.
OTW
Great to have you back on the show.
Thank you, David.
It's always great to be back on the best IT
and cybersecurity channel on YouTube.
And I sincerely mean that.
I appreciate you saying that.
And as I always like to say,
OTW, thank you so much for sharing your experience
with all of us.
It's great to talk to a real hacker,
who's, I mean, we can't say everything that you get up to
and you won't share it, but you teach people how to hack,
you teach government organizations how to protect themselves
and companies from hackers that might get up
to all kinds of things that they shouldn't with your skills.
But just for everyone who doesn't know OTW,
he's the author of this book,
Linux Basics for Hackers,
fantastic book if you wanna learn Linux.
We've also created a bunch of YouTube videos,
which I've linked below
if you wanna see a video version of this book.
OTW has also written this book,
Getting Started, Becoming a Master Hacker,
and my favorite one, Network Basics for Hackers.
