#417: Future of WiFi?

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.

#506: ZERO Coding: How She Broke Into Cyber

Big thank you to Proton Pass for sponsoring this video.  To sign up for Proton Pass, please use the following link https://proton.me/davidbombal to get a 60% discount.

Cybersecurity icon Mikko Hyppönen sits down with David Bombal at Black Hat to explain his bold move from antivirus to anti-drone defense after 34 years. He breaks down why mobile operating systems are the biggest security improvement of the past 15 years, how attackers have shifted from device exploits to human scams, and why he believes defenders currently have the edge with AI.

They unpack the rise of fiber-tethered drones that evade RF detection, the coming reality of autonomous “killer robots” (not yet here—but inevitable), and the grim state of privacy as everyday IoT devices go online by default—his “internet asbestos” warning. Mikko also reflects on achieving keynote goals at DEF CON, RSA, and Black Hat, and shares career advice: set goals, don’t drift.

Topics: mobile OS security, social engineering, AI for defense, zero-day research, drone warfare, privacy and encryption policy, IoT risks, career pivot.

AI can turn weeks of coding into seconds, but at what cost? Katie Paxton-Fear demonstrates how to use Gemini to generate a sprint plan and Cursor to build a Python port scanner from natural language. It works… and that’s the problem. We unpack how “vibe coding” blinds even pros to security, why these tools aren’t production-ready, and the guardrails you need for ethical hacking and internal tooling.

What you’ll learn
• How to turn ideas → sprint plan → working code (Gemini + Cursor)
• Why silent vulnerabilities make AI-built apps risky
• Ethical hacker use cases (agents, scanners) without shipping insecure code
• Policy tips: disclosure, internal use, avoiding shadow IT
Tools mentioned: Gemini, Cursor (AI IDE), Claude (briefly), v0

#508: NOT Production-Ready: 2025 AI Coding Reality Check

In this ethical lab demo, David Bombal and Kyle Winters connect Claude (LLM) to Metasploit through an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to automate real attacks. Watch AI perform recon, generate a risk report, and execute VSFTPD backdoor, EternalBlue (SMBv1), and UnrealIRCD—dropping benign files on Linux and Windows with simple prompts.

Educational use only on intentionally vulnerable VMs. Do not attack systems you don’t own or lack permission to test.

What you’ll see
• How MCP bridges an AI to real tools (Metasploit RPC)
• AI-driven scanning + auto security report (services, versions, risks)
• Prompted exploits: VSFTPD, EternalBlue, UnrealIRCD
• Why this lowers barriers for red teams—and what blue teams should do

In this 2025 deep-dive, David Bombal sits down with John Hammond to map the real state of hacking: classic ransomware/infostealers meet AI-assisted malware (including code that leverages LLMs). We unpack the ClickFix and FileFix social-engineering patterns, fake CAPTCHA and “save/upload” flows that trick users into running payloads, and the practical Windows mitigations (policy/registry ideas) you should know.

John shares why he estimates 20–30% of attacks now have some AI touch, how social engineering scales, and where defenders can push back. For your career, he argues opportunities are expanding: use CTFs, show your work on GitHub/video, and consider OSCP for signaling. He also introduces Just Hacking Training (JHT), handson hack-alongs, archived CTFs, free upskill challenges, and pay-what-you-want courses with industry all-stars.

What you’ll learn:
• How ClickFix/FileFix actually trick users
• Realistic mitigation tactics you can apply
• The current role of AI in malware
• Career roadmap: CTFs → OSCP → portfolio
• Where to get hands-on: JHT resources

At Black Hat, David Bombal sits down with OSINT pro Mishaal Khan to unpack anti-OSINT, practical steps to regain privacy without pricey services. Mishaal demos his free OperationPrivacy dashboard (400+ actions, 3 tiers: Conscious → Serious → Ghost) and shows how to:
• Freeze credit & use free monitoring
• Opt out of 100+ data brokers (Spokeo, Intelius, LexisNexis, more)
• Blur your home on Google/Bing/Apple Maps + real-world deterrents
• Claim critical accounts (IRS/DMV/USPS/UPS) and your domain
• Nudge page-one results with harmless decoys
• File copyright takedowns (Instagram/Google, etc.)

US-centric but widely applicable. DIY, trackable, and truthful about the time it takes.

Quantum computing isn’t a far-off sci-fi threat. In a hybrid model (CPU + GPU + quantum), it could land within ~3 years—and that’s enough to break today’s
asymmetric cryptography (RSA/ECC/PKI) used for TLS/HTTPS and VPN key exchange via Shor’s algorithm. Result? Session keys exposed, mass decryption possible, and a risky “post-quantum gap” before new hardware/software are widely deployed.

In this frank discussion, OTW joins David Bombal to explain:
• Why asymmetric key exchange is the weak link for TLS/VPNs
• How hybrid quantum + CUDA-Q accelerates timelines
• Nation-states’ “collect now, decrypt later” strategy
• The painful window before post-quantum cryptography (PQC) rolls out
• Risks of client-side scanning and on-device AI
• NSA backdoors, PGP/Phil Zimmermann, and the San Bernardino iPhone case
