Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) makes it easy to sniff traffic from other VLANs. Disable DTP on user facing ports by making those ports access ports.

You need to learn to code! Learn Python. Learn Networking. You are going to be very powerful and very scary if you combine knowledge of networking with Python scripting! But, do good.

#498: DDoS Attacks (HTTP/2, DNS, Hacktivist) // Real World Technical Analysis

Big thanks to Radware for sponsoring this video and sharing technical insights with us!

David Bombal talks with Michael Geller (Radware) and Tim Sherman (Cisco) about how smart devices like fridges, cars, and cameras are being hijacked for DDoS attacks. They explain Web DDoS, encrypted Layer 7 threats, and how attackers bypass traditional firewalls. The discussion covers IoT botnets, API abuse, 5G core vulnerabilities, and how Cisco and Radware are defending cloud and edge infrastructure.

#499: Your firewall won't save you from this 😱

Big thank you to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live San Diego. 

See how Cisco engineer Kareem Iskander teams up with David Bombal at Cisco Live San Diego 2025 to build a self-healing network in real time. Using the new Model Context Protocol (MCP), Splunk logs, Meraki APIs, and Anthropic Claude, Kareem’s Python code lets an LLM detect configuration drift and automatically revert changes, no manual troubleshooting required.

You will learn:
• What MCP is and how it exposes trusted tools to an LLM
• How Claude reads Splunk, correlates Meraki changes, and repairs configs
• Why two lines of code can spin up an entire MCP server from OpenAPI specs
• Where to find Kareem’s full code on GitHub and his upcoming Cisco U tutorial

#500: MCP Demo using Python, AI and a self healing network (Model Context Protocol)

Big thank you to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live San Diego. 

This video features David Bombal and Kyle Winters demonstrating practical
cybersecurity techniques. Kyle walks through how to use Hydra to brute force SSH passwords, explaining the process of leveraging wordlists and optimizing the attack. Following the offensive demonstration, Kyle transitions into defensive measures, showing viewers how to quickly and easily set up an SSH honeypot using Cowrie. The honeypot serves as a decoy to attract and monitor malicious actors attempting to access a network. The demonstration includes setting up the honeypot on an Ubuntu host, configuring IP tables for port redirection, and monitoring logs for incoming connection attempts. The video highlights the importance of understanding both attack methods and defensive strategies in cybersecurity. Kyle also mentions free ethical hacking training resources available through Cisco Networking Academy (netacad.com) and future tutorials on Cisco U (u.cisco.com).

#502: Hacker Explains VPN Hacking: ADMIN access without password (real world demo)

David Bombal is joined by Gerald Combs, the creator of Wireshark, and Chris Greer, a well-known Wireshark trainer, for a comprehensive discussion about the past, present, and future of the world’s most popular network protocol analyzer.

They explore how Wireshark was originally created as an open-source alternative to expensive packet sniffers, the evolution from its first release in 1998 (as Ethereal), and the community-driven development that led to over 2,300 contributors worldwide. The video also dives into the transition to the Wireshark Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the tool and educating users globally.

Topics covered include:
The early days of Wireshark and why it was built
The story behind the name change from Ethereal to Wireshark
How Windows compatibility helped Wireshark go mainstream
The launch of SharkFest and what makes it unique as a community-driven conference
What attendees can expect from SharkFest in the US and Europe, including beginner-friendly tracks, expert sessions, and interactive challenges like 
Packet Doctors
How the Wireshark Foundation supports the community and ensures long-term sustainability
The introduction of the Wireshark Certified Analyst (WCA) certification and what it means for networking and cybersecurity professionals
Real-world use cases for Wireshark in ethical hacking, packet forensics, and cybersecurity training
The announcement of StratoShark, a new open-source companion tool for analyzing system call data and cloud logs with a familiar Wireshark-like interface

Whether you're a network engineer, a cybersecurity professional, a developer, or just curious about how network analysis tools are built and used, this video provides deep technical insights, inspiring backstory, and practical guidance on how to level up your skills.

AI hype meets harsh reality. In this Black Hat interview, David Bombal talks with Gary Marcus (Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Neural Science at New York University, and AI Expert) just minutes after GPT-5’s announcement. Marcus explains why GPT-5 is only a small step forward, the truth about hallucinations, why AI coding agents pose massive cybersecurity risks, and why we may be years away from true AGI. If you want the unfiltered truth about AI progress, safety, and the future of large language models, watch this.
