What happens when NVIDIA's AI drives a Mercedes-Benz CLA through Berlin traffic? David Bombal rides along to see how Alpamayo and the Halos safety stack work together. At GTC Berlin, I ride in a Mercedes-Benz CLA running a development version of NVIDIA's Alpamayo driving software. We encounter cyclists, pedestrians, narrow roads, unusual junctions, parked cars and unpredictable drivers while the car handles much of the driving under human supervision. We look at what is actually happening behind the scenes: an end-to-end AI model proposes a driving path, a separate classical safety stack checks the environment and rules, and a trajectory arbiter decides when to allow the plan or fall back. The car uses on-board NVIDIA DRIVE Orin computing, cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors. We also discuss training with US and European driving data, simulation with NVIDIA Cosmos, the difference between this development vehicle and NVIDIA's downloadable Alpamayo research models, and what it takes to adapt the system to different vehicles and countries. In this video: • A live AI-assisted drive through busy Berlin streets • How Alpamayo and the classical Halos safety stack work together • Why narrow roads, cyclists and German traffic lights are difficult cases • The cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors and DRIVE Orin hardware • How real-world data and Cosmos simulation help train and test driving models • Which Alpamayo research models you can explore yourself Important: this demonstration is a supervised Level 2 driver-assistance system. The person in the driver's seat remains attentive and responsible; this is not an unsupervised robotaxi. Would you trust AI-assisted driving in a busy city? Which situation would you want it to handle first? NVIDIA Alpamayo: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/solution... NVIDIA Halos: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/ai-trust...

Big thanks to ThreatLocker for sponsoring my trip to Black Hat USA 2026 and also for sponsoring this video. To start your free trial with ThreatLocker please use the following link: https://www.threatlocker.com/davidbombal Your phone can be tricked into connecting to a fake cell tower. These devices are commonly known as Stingrays, cell-site simulators or IMSI catchers. They can be used to identify and locate phones in an area, and some attacks can interfere with the security of your cellular connection. At Black Hat and DEF CON, I spoke to Cooper Quintin, Senior Staff Technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), about Rayhunter. Rayhunter is an open-source project from the EFF designed to detect suspicious cellular activity using inexpensive mobile hotspot hardware. In this interview, Cooper explains how Stingrays and IMSI catchers work, why your phone can connect to a fake cell tower, what an IMSI is, how cellular downgrade attacks work, what a null cipher is, how Rayhunter detects suspicious activity, and what the EFF has learned from real-world deployments. We also get into mobile forensic extraction, phone searches at the border, biometrics vs PINs and passwords, and the bigger question of how much surveillance power governments and law enforcement should have.

Want to learn how to reverse engineer malware? Lindsay Kaye joins me to demonstrate malware analysis using Ghidra and x64dbg, two free tools you can use to develop your skills. Lindsay is the author of Dissecting the Dark Web. In this interview, we take apart a data theft tool used by LockBit affiliates and examine BlackMatter ransomware. You’ll see how malware detects a debugger, hides strings, and loads functions at runtime. We also run ransomware in a lab VM to show what happens to the victim’s files. We discuss: • How ransomware gangs steal data before encrypting it • How static and dynamic analysis work together • Finding malware indicators in Sysmon logs • Why ransomware can print physical ransom notes • How reputation and trust work in criminal forums • How to start reverse engineering by compiling your own C programs and examining them in Ghidra If you have some programming knowledge and want to understand how malware works, this is a practical look at the skills involved. // Sponsored SEGMENT // Big thank you to Proton Pass for sponsoring this video.

I sit down with Thorin Klosowski from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) to discuss online privacy, secure messaging, VPNs and the data we share with AI tools. We look at Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram, discuss privacy tradeoffs across Windows, Linux, Android and iPhone, and ask what you should assume about email and cloud storage. Thorin also walks through EFF’s free Surveillance Self-Defense guides to help you create a security plan and decide what to focus on first. If you work in cybersecurity, or you simply want to help your family protect their privacy, this conversation gives you a starting point without assuming everyone needs the same tools. In this interview: Why “I have nothing to hide” misses the point How to think about passwords, two-factor authentication and security planning Why messaging defaults and privacy settings matter What a VPN can and cannot do for your privacy AI features, cloud storage and questions to ask about your data Phone and computer privacy tradeoffs, email and encryption Which privacy setting or app are you going to review first?

Big thanks to ‪@Cisco‬ & ‪@Splunkofficial‬ for sponsoring my trip to .Conf 2026 and also for sponsoring this video. AI agents can do things you never intended. So how do you monitor their behavior, spot security problems and decide what they should be allowed to do? I’m joined by Splunk’s Kamal Hathi at .conf26 to discuss AI agent security, observability and what an agentic SOC means for the people working in cybersecurity. Kamal explains why setting a goal isn’t enough. You need visibility into what your agents are actually doing, clear guardrails and human oversight for important decisions. We also discuss why monitoring only a sample of agent activity can leave gaps, and how focused small language models could help reduce evaluation costs. In this interview, we cover: • Known agents, unregistered agents and unexpected behavior • AI evaluations, guardrails and zero trust • Automating SOC alert triage while keeping humans in control • Using AI to create SOAR playbooks • Running models locally for privacy, cost and control • Choosing between local models and cloud models • Whether you should still study computer science in 2027 If you’re building AI agents, working in cybersecurity or deciding what to learn next, this conversation will give you plenty to think about. // Kamal Hathi’s’ SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / kamal-hathi // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

How do you hack a satellite? The attack can start on the ground. Watch a mission control demo showing how web vulnerabilities can change a simulated spacecraft’s orbit. At DEF CON, I meet Milenko and Andrzej, the authors of The Spacecraft Hackers Handbook, to explore spacecraft cybersecurity. They explain the infrastructure behind satellite operations, what the Via sat attack actually targeted, and why protecting spacecraft requires both security and space engineering knowledge. Then Andrzej demonstrates previously patched vulnerabilities in an older version of mission control software. Using Burp Suite, he shows how path traversal exposes configuration files and how cross-site scripting can trigger a spacecraft command through an operator’s browser. We cover: • Why satellite security extends to systems on the ground • How path traversal and XSS affect mission control software • Telemetry, telecommands, CCSDS and the SDLS security layer • How GPS supports timing as well as navigation • Python examples, a prepared lab VM and learning resources • The authors’ nine satellite cybersecurity challenges on Hack The Box • Skills and career opportunities in spacecraft cybersecurity The demonstration uses a spacecraft simulator. The vulnerabilities shown were disclosed to the vendor and patched. // Link to No Starch Website for Milenko and Andrzej’s Book// The Spacecraft Hacker’s Handbook: https://nostarch.com/spacecraft-hacke...

And what happens when one malicious instruction spreads between AI agents? I’m joined by Harriet, author of Practical AI Security, to explore how AI models and agents can be manipulated, with practical Python demonstrations. You'll see an image classifier misidentify a rifle, a demonstration of prompt injection spreading across five agents, and how memory poisoning can plant instructions that affect an agent later. We discuss why securing AI takes more than blocking prompt injection, how machine learning creates different security challenges, and what you need to understand before deploying agents in your organisation. Want to learn this yourself? Harriet explains how to get started with her collection of 30+ free Python notebooks, including examples you can explore in Google Colab. We also discuss the skills involved in AI security and how people from different backgrounds can contribute. Topics include: • Adversarial machine learning and image manipulation • Prompt injection and attacks spreading between agents • Memory poisoning and model backdoors • AI supply chain security • Learning AI security with Python • AI security careers, training and fundamentals // Link to No Starch Website for Harriet Farlow’s Book // Order Practical AI Security on No Starch: https://nostarch.com/practical-ai-sec...

To start your free trial with ThreatLocker, please use the following link: https://www.threatlocker.com/davidbombal Is cybersecurity still worth learning in 2026? AI agents are changing vulnerability research, but where does that leave you? At Black Hat, I’m joined by Arizona State University professor Yan Shoshitaishvili to discuss what AI can actually do, where it falls short, and why he would still choose a career in cybersecurity today. Yan shares how his lab used AI agents and human-designed workflows to find what he describes as over 1,000 Linux kernel vulnerabilities triggerable by an unprivileged local user. Running 128 agents was only part of the story. Understanding which vulnerabilities to look for and improving the research process proved critical. We discuss: • How AI agents test potential vulnerabilities instead of simply reporting suspected bugs • How agentic AI compares with fuzzing and static analysis • Why finding new bugs does not automatically prove one tool is better • Why human expertise still matters in security research • How to use AI as a learning assistant without skipping the learning • Free, hands-on cybersecurity training through pwn.college • Yan’s advice for anyone considering cybersecurity in 2026 // Yan Shoshitaishvili SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / yan-shoshitaishvili-7024305 ASU website: https://www.asu.edu/ // ThreatLocker’s SOCIAL // LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thre...

It promises to protect children, but what happens when accessing a website or using your own device requires facial recognition, identity documents or third-party verification? David speaks with Alexis Hancock from the Electronic Frontier Foundation about the growing privacy risks surrounding age verification and digital ID systems. They examine how these technologies could threaten online anonymity, create new surveillance infrastructure and expose sensitive personal information. Alexis explains why age verification alone does not teach children how to stay safe online, how data brokers and behavioral advertising contribute to the problem, and why banning VPNs or weakening encryption would make everyone less secure. They also discuss zero-knowledge proofs, facial recognition, encryption backdoors, government surveillance and the danger of building a digital identity system that could be abused by future governments.

To start your free trial with ThreatLocker please use the following link: https://www.threatlocker.com/davidbombal You can write secure C code, follow accepted best practices and still end up with a vulnerable binary. The reason is simple: the CPU does not run your source code. It runs whatever the compiler produces. David sits down with security researcher Chris Domas at Black Hat to examine how legal compiler optimizations can remove security protections, delete memory-clearing operations and introduce time-of-check to time-of-use vulnerabilities into code that appeared secure. Chris explains the C abstract machine, why compilers are allowed to transform code so dramatically and how register pressure, structure layout and even data size can affect whether a binary is vulnerable. In one striking example, 17 or 33 bytes can be safe while nearby sizes produce vulnerable code. They also discuss whether Rust solves the problem, why switching between GCC and Clang is not the answer and how AI helped analyse 500 million lines of open-source code to identify 300 potentially dangerous patterns. Most importantly, Chris explains what developers can do now, including enabling compiler warnings, using sanitizers, analysing optimized builds and testing the exact binary that will be shipped. // Christopher Domas’ SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / christopher-domas GitHub: https://github.com/xoreaxeaxeax X: https://x.com/xoreaxeaxeax // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

David sits down with Natalie Silvanovich and Seth Jenkins from Google Project Zero to examine how specially crafted audio messages were used to remotely compromise the Pixel 9 and Pixel 10. The attack begins inside the Dolby Unified Decoder, where Android automatically processes incoming audio for transcription. The researchers explain how they exploited the decoder, escaped the media codec sandbox and targeted vulnerable Pixel hardware drivers to achieve kernel code execution and root access. They also discuss ASLR, SELinux, memory corruption, the eight-week exploit development process, how AI helped automate repetitive tasks and why Apple’s compiler protections prevented the same Dolby bug from affecting iPhones. Most importantly, they explain what manufacturers can do to reduce their attack surface and make commercial zero-click exploits significantly more expensive. These vulnerabilities were responsibly disclosed and patched.

Can you recover working software from a photograph of a microchip? Embedded systems reverse engineer Travis Goodspeed demonstrates how to extract the original Game Boy’s 256-byte boot ROM from a microscopic photograph of the mask ROM inside its CPU. The source image was created by combining 22 microscope photographs captured at 50x magnification. Using his free, open-source Mask ROM Tool, Travis marks 2,048 ROM bit locations, separates the ones from the zeros and checks for possible recognition errors. He then determines the logical order of the bits, disassembles the program and shows how it can be exported as a ROM file for use in an emulator. Travis also explains the Game Boy’s unusual copy-protection system. During startup, its boot ROM displays logo data supplied by the cartridge and compares it with Nintendo’s internal copy. If the logos do not match, the game does not boot. Requiring cartridges to contain Nintendo’s trademark gave the company legal leverage against unlicensed publishers. The video also explores techniques from Travis’s book, Microcontroller Exploits. These include extracting protected firmware from an access-control reader, chemically decapsulating chips while preserving their operation and using ultraviolet light with a nail-polish mask to remove memory protection without erasing the program. The Mask ROM Tool, Game Boy chip photograph and step-by-step tutorial are publicly available, allowing you to reproduce the ROM-decoding demonstration without owning a microscope or chemistry lab. // Sponsored SEGMENT // Big thank you to Proton Pass for sponsoring this video.

Your internet speed can look fine while your Wi-Fi is still failing. Packet loss, latency, congested channels, interference and poor configuration can all damage performance, but a normal speed test will not show you the full picture. In this video, I test the Ookla Speedtest Pulse, a pocket-sized Wi-Fi 7 diagnostic tool that measures more than 25 network metrics in around 45 seconds. We test Wi-Fi at the Natural History Museum in London and examine results from an Airbnb to identify whether the problem comes from the Wi-Fi network, wired connection or internet service provider. Matt explains how the device tests 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz Wi-Fi, detects channel problems, measures signal quality and gives you practical recommendations in plain English. We also compare Speedtest Pulse with the normal Speedtest application, laptopbased tools and the Ekahau Sidekick 2. You will see its current limitations, upcoming continuous monitoring features and how it could help technicians finally capture intermittent Wi-Fi problems.

To start your free trial with ThreatLocker please use the following link: https://www.threatlocker.com/davidbombal AI is changing cybersecurity, but simply using more AI to defend against AI attacks may not be the answer. David Bombal sits down with Danny Jenkins, CEO of ThreatLocker, to discuss the security risks created by AI, autonomous agents, zero-day vulnerabilities, ransomware, and the rapidly expanding attack surface businesses now have to deal with. Danny explains one of the fundamental problems with AI security: AI can understand what something does, but it may not understand the intent behind it. The same action could be performed legitimately by an administrator or maliciously by an attacker. They also discuss how AI is giving attackers capabilities that previously required significantly more expertise and resources, including vulnerability discovery and sophisticated phishing attacks. But AI creates another problem inside organizations. Autonomous agents can potentially access files, upload data, perform actions, and make mistakes extremely quickly. Every new piece of software adds attack surface, and powerful AI agents can dramatically increase that risk. Danny argues that the answer isn't simply AI versus AI. Instead, organizations need to rethink trust itself. The discussion covers deny by default, application control, restricting what software and AI agents are allowed to access, and why AI should be used as an additional security layer rather than becoming your primary defense. Topics include: • AI security risks • Autonomous and agentic AI • Why AI struggles with intent • How hackers are using AI • AI-powered vulnerability discovery • Zero-day vulnerabilities • Ransomware • AI attack surfaces • Application control • Deny by default security • Why AI alone can't solve AI security • Securing AI inside businesses // Danny Jenkins’ SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / dannyjenkinscyber // ThreatLocker’s SOCIAL // LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thre...

Thank you to Threatlocker for sponsoring my trip to Black Hat so I can interview amazing people. Jen Easterly joins David Bombal to discuss why today’s cybersecurity problem may actually be a software quality problem. For decades, users and organizations have been blamed for failing to patch systems, change default passwords, or enable MFA. Jen argues that the bigger question is whether software vendors should be held responsible for shipping insecure products in the first place. They discuss Secure by Design, software vulnerabilities, memory safety, AI security, zero-day attacks, rogue AI agents, critical infrastructure, vendor accountability, and how artificial intelligence could dramatically shorten the time between discovering a vulnerability and weaponizing it. Jen also shares lessons from her career at the NSA, the White House, CISA, Morgan Stanley, the U.S. Army, and now RSAC, including her advice for hackers, cybersecurity professionals, and future leaders.

Two Cisco training veterans break down how to know you are ready for the CCNA exam, what changes in CCNA 2.0, and whether the CCNA is still worth it in 2026. Brian Bays has been teaching official Cisco classes since 2000. Michael Aldridge has been writing practice exam content since 2001. In this interview they answer the questions I get asked constantly: how long should I study, do I need physical equipment, should I do Network Plus first, and is AI going to take these jobs away? Short answer on that last one: they have heard this before. Automation was going to end tech jobs. Then virtualization. Then cloud. Every time, it just made good engineers more productive. Junior engineers become senior engineers, and we cannot function without senior engineers. We also cover what is coming in CCNA 2.0, including more troubleshooting woven through every section, a dark mode option, a full screen CLI, and the ability to send a command to every device in a lab at once. This video is not sponsored. I have known Brian and Michael for years and I recommend them because I rate them, not because anyone paid for this.

And what actually happens when you touch the end of a fiber optic cable? We break it all down with hands-on demos. At Cisco Live, I caught up with Jim from Fluke Networks to dive deep into the physical layer of networking. We strip away the marketing hype and look at the real-world performance of both copper and glass. In this video, we cover everything from the crucial safety reasons why you should never look into a fiber cable, to a microscope demonstration showing how a single speck of dirt or finger oil can cause frame errors and take down your SFP modules. We also run a live cable certification test on Cat 6 vs Cat 8 to show you exactly why Cat 6A is all you actually need for your home network, and how pros use an OTDR to find exact breaks in long fiber runs.

How has AI changed cybersecurity and enterprise networks? In this interview, Michael (General Manager for Cisco's Campus Networking) joins David Bombal to discuss the real-world impact of agentic AI, physical AI, and modern security threats. Discover why the U.S. cybersecurity agency (CISA) reports that the mean time to exploit vulnerabilities has plummeted from 10 months to just 10 hours due to AI systems chaining CVEs together. Learn how autonomous agents are shifting campus and branch environments from traditional north-south traffic to massive east-west flows, creating up to 9x the bandwidth demand. Michael breaks down how network segmentation and "least agency" protect data, how Cisco Live Protect utilizes eBPF inside the Linux kernel to create a compensating shield before a patch is ready, and how line-rate encryption with post-quantum cryptography protects against "harvest now, decrypt later" threats. Finally, find out why network engineering remains an incredibly critical, high-demand career path in 2026.

In this episode, David Bombal sits down with Joe and Dalton from Cisco to break down the biggest Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) 2.10 release yet. Joe demos the new open source MCP server (model context protocol) that lets an AI model like Claude build a full CML lab from plain English. Just by asking for three IOL routers with a simple BGP config, the AI looks up the node definitions, invents the IP addresses, builds the topology, chooses eBGP on its own, and even starts the lab and waits for convergence. From there you will see the MCP server spin up a CCNA troubleshooting scenario from the official blueprint, quiz you, review your console history and final config, and hand back an honest evaluation with coaching tips. It can even turn a BGP packet capture into a ladder diagram to explain how the protocol works. Dalton then shows off CML 2.10's new wireless fabric, which runs end to end WiFi simulations with no real radios or physical access points. Watch signal strength change as you drag a client across the canvas, simulate roaming between two APs, add link conditioning to mimic a concrete wall, and run wireless packet capture on the .11 frames. Finally, Joe walks through the upgraded breakout tool that streams live packet captures straight into Wireshark so you can troubleshoot BGP and other protocols in real time. Everything shown works in the free version of CML, making this a must watch for anyone studying for the CCNA or leveling up as a network engineer.

Traditional Power over Ethernet is useful for endpoints like access points, cameras, sensors, and phones, but PoE tops out around 100 watts. Fault Managed Power introduces a new class of power delivery that can deliver much higher wattage while intelligently shutting down when it detects a fault, short circuit, or unsafe condition. The conversation explains why this matters now. AI is driving massive demand for data center compute, but that compute requires more power, more cooling, and more efficient infrastructure. The guests explain how AC-to-DC conversion losses add up across multiple power conversion stages, how transmission and distribution losses waste energy before it even reaches the building, and why many legacy data centers spend a large amount of energy on cooling and non-useful power. A key example from the discussion: an average 5 megawatt, air-cooled data center moving to direct liquid cooling and fault managed power could save 75% of its energy cost. That same energy profile could also translate into 2.3x the compute for the same amount of energy. We also discuss touch-safe DC power up to 400V, why DC-to-DC power matters for data centers, how this technology could reduce material and labor complexity, and why network engineers, electricians, data center operators, and IT professionals should understand Class 4 Fault Managed Power. This is not just about sustainability. It is about energy cost, AI infrastructure, safer power delivery, faster deployment, data center efficiency, retrofits, new builds, and the future of networking. // Stephen Kelly SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / stephen-kelly-70737a9 // Denise Lee SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / deniseleeyeh // Website REFERENCE // https://www.nttdata.com/global/en/ // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

Big thanks to TryHackMe for sponsoring this video. Learn Cyber Security with Practical Labs on TryHackMe:https://tryhackme.com/DavidBombalTech Use my code DAVIDTECH25 to get 25% OFF on Annual Subscription! Dr. Mike Pound joins David Bombal to explain symmetric encryption, AES, secret keys, VPN encryption, TLS, block ciphers, stream ciphers and why encryption is one of the most important building blocks in modern cybersecurity. In this video, Mike explains what encryption actually does: it takes readable plaintext and turns it into unreadable ciphertext so that only someone with the correct secret key can decrypt it. He breaks down how symmetric encryption works, why the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt, and why algorithms like AES are used everywhere from secure websites and VPNs to BitLocker and full disk encryption. You’ll learn why AES is so fast on modern CPUs, how keys interact with encryption algorithms, and why AES uses rounds of substitution and permutation to scramble data. Mike also explains the difference between block ciphers and stream ciphers, including AES, DES, Triple DES, ChaCha20 and older algorithms like RC4 and A5/1. The discussion also covers why symmetric encryption is used for bulk encryption in protocols like TLS and IPsec, why asymmetric encryption is used differently, and why you should never write your own encryption algorithm or implement your own AES code for real-world security. If you want to understand how encryption protects your data, how VPNs and secure web traffic work, and why AES is still one of the most important algorithms in cybersecurity, this is a great place to start. // Mike SOCIAL // X: / _mikepound YouTube Channel: / computerphile // YouTube Video REFERENCE //Password Cracking: Can a Rainbow table reverse a hashed password?: • Password Cracking: Can a Rainbow table rev... // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

Big thanks to ‪@Cisco‬ for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live Vegas 2026. In this deep dive into the future of networking, we explore the reality of quantum networking and Cisco's groundbreaking announcement of the world's first Universal Quantum Switch. Quantum computing is no longer just a buzzword; it's moving into the mainstream, bringing massive implications for network engineers and cybersecurity professionals in 2026 and beyond. We discuss why a quantum switch is essential for scaling distributed quantum computers and how it translates different quantum modalities, acting as a universal fabric. We also break down the quantum stack, from entanglement sources generating 200 million photon pairs per second to nanosecond switching speeds. Beyond the hardware, we tackle the elephant in the room: Shor's algorithm and the imminent threat to classical encryption (RSA/Diffie-Hellman). With "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks already happening and the January 2027 CNSA 2.0 compliance deadline approaching, we cover exactly how you can prepare using post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Finally, we explore fascinating real-world applications, including high-frequency trading advantages, unbreakable eavesdropper detection using the no-cloning theorem, and secure position verification. // Ramana Kompella’s SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / rkompella // Website REFERENCE // https://outshift.cisco.com/ // Videos REFERENCE // • Cisco Quantum Summit 2026 - Quantum Data C... https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/5305787/... // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

Cisco is bringing AI agents into network operations with Cisco Cloud Control, AI Canvas, and Agentic Ops. In this demo, David Bombal is joined by DJ Sampath (SVP and General Manager, AI Software and Platform) to look at how Cisco is using AI to simplify complex network troubleshooting, infrastructure management, agent security, and observability. Instead of jumping between multiple dashboards, tools, teams, and tickets, Cisco Cloud Control brings network, security, observability, and infrastructure context into one interface. The demo starts with a simple real-world problem: why can’t a phone connect to the network? From there, Cisco AI Canvas investigates the topology, calls the right agents, checks the wireless environment, moves into the firewall/security domain, and identifies the root cause: a site-to-site VPN tunnel issue caused by missing OSPF route exchange. You will see how Cisco is using MCP servers, topology agents, troubleshooting agents, firewall agents, and purpose-built models to help network engineers understand what is happening across Meraki, Catalyst, Firepower, Intersight, Splunk, Security, and other Cisco platforms. The video also covers the Unified Cisco Fabric app, which connects campus and data center environments with a firewall in between, plus Cisco’s agentic security app for monitoring and controlling AI agents in the enterprise. DJ also shows how Cisco is thinking about token usage, runaway agents, agent observability, Splunk, Galileo, policy enforcement, and secure AI adoption. The interview also covers Cisco’s work with OpenAI and Codex, including how frontier models, purpose-built Cisco models, MCP servers, APIs, Cisco data fabric, and real network data are being used to reduce hallucinations and make AI more useful for infrastructure teams. If you are a network engineer, cybersecurity professional, infrastructure engineer, or someone trying to understand how AI will affect networking, this demo shows where things are going.

Join me for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of Cisco's purpose-built $20 million AI data center lab in San Jose. AI is revolutionizing the tech industry, but running massive 10,000 GPU clusters can cost up to $175 million a year—and a mere 5% network bottleneck can flush $8 million down the drain. In this video, we break down the hardware, software, and networking topologies required to build, secure, and scale massive AI data centers. I sit down with Cisco engineers to explore scale-up domains with NVIDIA H200 and AMD MI350X servers, scale-out rail-optimized topologies, and the massive Cisco Silicon One G300 ASIC delivering 102.4 Terabits per second with innovative liquid cooling. We also dive into the Ethernet vs. InfiniBand debate for scaling to 100,000 GPUs, the power of Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) to reduce power draw, and how Cisco used AI to safely refactor 500,000 lines of legacy code. Whether you are building an AI network today or upgrading your engineering skills for the future, this is video can help you learn.

Big thank you to Infoblox for sponsoring this video. To learn more about Infoblox please visit: https://www.infoblox.com/ Do you know the difference between encrypted DNS and secure DNS? DNS veteran Cricket Liu, author of DNS and Bind, joins David Bombal to break down common misconceptions, explain the crucial distinction between security and privacy; and outline a massive update to the NIST Secure DNS Deployment Guide (SP 800-81). If you run a network, you cannot afford to ignore this control point. Detailed Breakdown: DNS is the Achilles' heel of internet infrastructure. While newer protocols like DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT) solve the cleartext privacy problem, they do not stop malware, phishing, or data exfiltration. In fact, attackers are now using encrypted DNS against us. In this deep-dive interview, Cricket Liu explains how DNS security must evolve beyond simple encryption to include Protective DNS (PDNS) using Response Policy Zones (RPZ). Learn how to turn your existing DNS infrastructure into a low-cost, high-efficiency control point that blocks malicious C2 rendezvous, phishing links, and DNS tunneling automatically. We also tackle the DNSSEC confusion head-on. Cricket clarifies exactly why DNSSEC is about validation and integrity, not encryption, and discusses the looming threat of quantum computing on modern cryptographic standards. Finally, we discuss real-world attack vectors, including a wild story about a dangling CNAME record on CDC.gov that was hijacked to game search engine rankings, and how the updated NIST guide shifts focus from just network administrators to security practitioners. // Links to documents // NIST SP 800-81: https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Spe...

Quantum computing isn’t just 10 years away, it’s happening now. In this deep dive, I sit down with Ramana Kompella, Head of Research at Cisco Outshift, to separate the sci-fi vaporware from the engineering reality. We discuss the immediate threat of "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" attacks, where bad actors steal your encrypted data today to unlock it with quantum computers tomorrow. Ramana breaks down exactly how Cisco is building the "Quantum Network" to counter this, leveraging the "No Cloning Theorem" to create unhackable communication channels. If you are in cybersecurity, networking, or studying computer science, this is your roadmap to the future. We cover the math you need to learn (Linear Algebra), the timeline for real-world adoption (it’s closer than you think), and how Quantum Teleportation actually works at a packet level. Topics Covered: • The 5-Year Timeline: Why the "decade away" myth is wrong. • Quantum Networking vs. Computing: Why we need to interconnect quantum processors. • The Physics of Security: How Entanglement and Teleportation prevent eavesdropping. • Career Advice: Why Linear Algebra is the most critical skill for AI and Quantum jobs. • Cisco x IBM: The partnership building the future internet.

In this episode, David Bombal sits down with vulnerability researcher Vladimir Tokarev (with Dawid on the interview) to show what AI-assisted vulnerability research looks like when it actually works. Vladimir walks through two real vulnerability case studies and uses them to explain a practical workflow for finding bugs faster with LLMs, without pretending the AI is “fully autonomous.” Demo 1: Gemini CLI command injection Vladimir demonstrates a command injection issue in Gemini CLI tied to the IDE / VS Code extension install flow. He shows how a malicious VSIX file name or path can be crafted so that when the install command is executed, the system ends up running an attacker-controlled command (the demo uses a harmless calculator launch to prove execution). The conversation then breaks down what a VSIX is, what the realistic attack paths are (user tricked into installing a malicious extension or placing it in the right directory), and why this class of bug matters for endpoints running local AI agents. Demo 2: VirtualBox integer overflow and VM escape class impact Next, Vladimir switches to a VirtualBox vulnerability involving an integer overflow that can lead to out-of-bounds read/write in the host process. Because of architecture constraints, he shows the exploit behavior via a recorded clip, then explains the bug using source code. The key teaching moment is the mismatch between 32-bit arithmetic used in bounds checking and 64-bit pointer arithmetic used during the actual memory move, creating a pathway to bypass checks and copy memory outside the intended buffer. Vladimir also explains why having both read and write primitives is powerful for exploitation, and how modern mitigations make “blind” exploitation unrealistic without memory disclosure. How the bugs were found with AI Vladimir then explains the workflow he uses in real engagements: • Run static analysis to generate leads at scale • Use an LLM to triage and filter out noise • Validate the remaining findings by tracing code paths and checking exploitability • Use AI again to accelerate setup, debugging, reverse engineering, and iteration He shares a key insight: the win is not “AI finds everything for you,” it is that AI helps you spend your time on the hardest parts—validation, exploit logic, and decision-making—instead of drowning in thousands (or millions) of findings. Why there is no fully autonomous vuln-research agent yet Finally, Vladimir lays out four practical blockers: 1. Depth reasoning (long multi-step exploit chains) 2. Context limits (missing system-level constraints and assumptions) 3. Learning from failure (repeating bad leads) 4. Exploration (poor goal-driven search without strong reinforcement learning) // Vladimir Tokarev’s SOCIAL // X: https://x.com/G1ND1L4 LinkedIn: / vladimir-eliezer-tokarev // Dawid van Straaten’s SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / dawid-van-straaten-31a3742b X: https://x.com/nullaxiom?s=21 // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

Are your smart home devices spying on you? In this video, David Bombal interviews cybersecurity researcher and IoT penetration tester, Matt Brown, to reveal how to intercept and decrypt supposedly secure SSL/TLS traffic from IoT devices. Matt demonstrates his open-source tool, "Man in the Middle Router," a specialized Linux-based bash script designed to simplify IoT hardware hacking labs. This tool stitches together essential Linux utilities—including HostAPD (for access points), DNSmasq (for DHCP), and iptables (for traffic routing)—to transform any Linux computer or Raspberry Pi into a transparent intercepting router. In this technical deep-dive, you will learn: How a Man in the Middle (MITM) attack intercepts encrypted TLS (HTTPS) communications. How to set up an IoT penetration testing lab using minimal hardware, such as an Alpha Wi-Fi adapter and an Ethernet dongle. The difference between theoretical attacks and real-world vulnerabilities like the failure of IoT devices to validate server certificates. Transparent proxy setup using tools like mitmproxy to visualize raw API data. Live Hacking Demonstration Matt moves beyond theory to demonstrate a live hack of an Anran Wi-Fi security camera purchased from eBay. He shows the exact process of capturing and decrypting the camera's API traffic (apis.us-west.cloudedge360.com). This demonstration exposes that the device is transmitting sensitive information—including authentication credentials—in cleartext over HTTP inside the broken TLS tunnel. Whether you are a network engineer, network security analyst, or a hardware hacking enthusiast, this video provides a step-by-step framework for auditing the security and privacy of the devices on your network. // Matt Brown’s SOCIAL // X: https://x.com/nmatt0 YouTube: / @mattbrwn LinkedIn: / mattbrwn GitHub: https://github.com/nmatt0 Reddit: https://github.com/nmatt0 Website (with training courses): https://training.brownfinesecurity.com/ // GitHub REFERENCE // mitmrouter: https://github.com/nmatt0/mitmrouter // Camera REFERECE // https://www.amazon.com/ANRAN-Security... // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

You’ll see firsthand how attackers use Prompt Injection to bypass standard rules, how they move laterally through Kubernetes clusters, and how they attempt to execute Zero Day exploits. More importantly, we show you how to defend against it. Using Cisco’s Hybrid Mesh Firewall, AI Defense, and Secure Workload, we demonstrate how to: 1. Detect & Block Prompt Injections: safeguarding your LLMs from manipulation. 2. Secure Kubernetes: using micro-segmentation to isolate threats in the cloud. 3. Inspect Encrypted Traffic: utilizing the Encrypted Visibility Engine (EVE) to spot malware in TLS flows without decryption. Whether you are a Network Engineer, Security Analyst, or just interested in how AI is changing the cybersecurity landscape, this demo is packed with practical insights Big thank you to Cisco for sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live Amsterdam. // Ant Ducker SOCIALS // LinkedIn: / ant-ducker-0052801 YouTube channel dCloud: / @ciscodcloud // Website REFERENCE // Cisco Security Cloud control: https://sign-on.security.cisco.com/ Cisco.com: https://www.cisco.com/site/us/en/solu... // YouTube Video REFERENCE // Rick Miles’ video will be linked at a later stage once published. / David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

The bottleneck in AI isn't compute anymore, it's the network. In this video, I sit down with Martin, the architect behind Cisco’s Silicon One, to discuss the massive leap to 100 Terabits per second. We go deep into the silicon level to understand how "intelligent agents" embedded in the hardware are solving the packet loss problem for massive AI training clusters. We cover the new 1.6T Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO), why Cisco is becoming the "Apple of Networking" by building their own full stack, and why they believe Ethernet has officially won the data center war. Topics Covered: • Cisco Silicon One: The architecture behind the 100Tbps & 51.2Tbps chips. • AI Scale: How to interconnect 128,000 GPUs without stalling. • Hardware Agents: Real-time traffic rerouting at the silicon level. • 1.6Tbps Optics: Moving DSPs out of the module to save power (LPO). • Ethernet vs. InfiniBand: Why standard Ethernet is winning in AI.

Big thanks to ‪@Cisco‬ for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live Amsterdam. Will AI replace network engineers in 2026? In this video, I sit down with Joe Vaccaro (VP/GM of Cisco ThousandEyes) to reveal the truth about "Agentic Ops" and how it differs from traditional AIOps. We dive deep into the new "Digital Teammate" concept within ThousandEyes and demo exactly how AI agents can autonomously troubleshoot complex network outages (like DHCP and DNS failures) in seconds. Instead of taking your job, Joe explains how these agents act as a force multiplier for your career—handling the tedious "mean time to innocence" tasks so you can focus on architecture. If you are worried about the future of the CLI or manual troubleshooting, you need to see this demo. Key Topics Covered: • Cisco Agentic Ops Explained: Joe Vaccaro breaks down the shift to autonomous reasoning. • ThousandEyes Demo: Watch an AI agent diagnose a DHCP failure and suggest the exact fix (subnet expansion). • Views Explainability: How to troubleshoot "unknown paths" and ISP outages (like AWS/Azure) automatically. • Career Survival Guide: Why Cisco believes AI will train the next generation of CCIE-level engineers, not replace them. //Joe Vaccaro’s SOCIAL // Cisco Blogs: https://blogs.cisco.com/author/vaccaroj LinkedIn: / joevaccaro X: https://x.com/joevaccaro X: https://x.com/thousandeyes Website: https://www.thousandeyes.com/ // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

In this video David speaks to Peter Bailey (SVP and GM of Cisco’s Security business). AI agents are moving fast inside enterprises, and CISOs are hitting the brakes for one reason: the attack surface is expanding at machine speed. In this interview, we break down how agentic AI changes security, why MCP servers and agent tool access create new risks, and what a zero trust approach looks like when the “user” is a non-deterministic agent. We cover real-world problems like shadow MCP servers, agents touching sensitive systems and PII, and why traditional perimeter controls and firewalls are not enough when traffic is encrypted and actions happen too quickly downstream. You’ll also hear what Cisco is doing across the AI lifecycle: AI Defense for model scanning, provenance and guardrails, plus new protections focused on agent identity, dynamic authorization, behavior monitoring, and revocation. On the networking side, we discuss how SD-WAN and secure access (SASE) can add visibility and policy control for AI usage, including prioritizing latency-sensitive AI traffic while still enforcing security. If you’re a security engineer, network engineer, or CISO trying to move from AI hype to safe deployment, this video gives you a practical mental model and the controls to start building now.

Is this the most powerful network switch ever built? In this interview from Cisco Live, we look at the new generation of Cisco 8000 and Nexus switches capable of routing 100 Terabits per second. We break down why AI data centers are forced to move from air cooling to liquid cooling, and how a single switch chassis can now handle the equivalent mobile traffic of 100 million people. AI models are growing faster than the infrastructure can keep up. To solve this, the network switch had to evolve. In this video, I talk to Will from Cisco about the engineering challenges of building the "G300" generation of switches, hardware so dense that air cooling is no longer enough. We discuss the massive architectural shift occurring in data centers, where Liquid Cooled Switches are becoming the new standard to support 1.6T Ethernet ports and massive GPU clusters. Key Hardware Topics: • The 100 Terabit Chassis: How Cisco architecture handles massive throughput. • Liquid Cooling: Why switches are adopting "direct-to-chip" cooling just like gaming rigs. • Scale-Out Networking: How these switches manage congestion for AI training jobs (Job Completion Time). • Career Insights: Will manages 5,000 engineers and explains why understanding the physical layer and hardware constraints is a superpower for modern developers.

In this interview, David Bombal sits down with Dr. Mike Pound (Computerphile) to clear up one of the biggest crypto misconceptions on the Internet: hashing is not encryption, and hash functions are not reversible. In this video you’ll learn what a hash function actually does (a deterministic, fixed-length, “random-looking” summary of data) and why the whole point is that you cannot take a hash and reconstruct the original file. Dr Mike explains the key properties of secure hashing, including the avalanche effect (tiny input change, massive output change), and why older algorithms like MD5 and SHA-1 became unsafe due to collisions. We also cover what “collisions” really mean, why they must exist in theory (the pigeonhole principle) and why they can appear sooner than expected (the birthday paradox). Then we tackle the YouTube-comments classic: rainbow tables. If hashes are one-way, how do attackers “crack” passwords? The answer: they don’t reverse hashes. They guess passwords, hash them forward, and match the results. Mike breaks down how rainbow tables speed this up with precomputed hashes, and why salting makes those precomputations far less effective by forcing attackers to redo work per user. Finally, we zoom out into modern cryptography: why SHA-2 is widely used today, why SHA-3 exists as a structurally different backup option, what length extension attacks are, and what quantum computing changes (and doesn’t change) for hashing and encryption. We also touch on how hashes power digital signatures, file integrity checks (like verifying an ISO download), and why AES dominates symmetric encryption. // Mike's SOCIAL // X: / _mikepound // YouTube Video REFERENCE // SHA: Secure Hashing Algorithm: • SHA: Secure Hashing Algorithm - Computerphile Birthday Paradox: • Hash Collisions & The Birthday Paradox - C...

Big thanks to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Partner Summit San Diego 2025. This video is a deep dive with Jeetu Patel on why the real AI revolution is happening in infrastructure and networking, not just in GPUs or chatbots. Jeetu explains that we are massively underestimating how much AI infrastructure the world will need. Power becomes the core constraint, GPUs are the core asset, and networking is the force multiplier that lets thousands of GPUs act as one system. He walks through how we went from models on a single GPU → 4–8 GPUs in a server → racks with hundreds of GPUs (like NVL-72 with 500+ GPUs) → clusters of racks, and now “scale across” between data centers when power and real estate are scattered across different regions. The conversation then shifts to edge AI and Cisco Unified Edge: instead of doing all token generation in big data centers, some inference and token generation must move to the edge (branches, factories, hospitals, stadiums, stores) where data is created. Jeetu explains why edge devices need to be plug-and-play, remotely managed, and integrate compute, networking, security and observability in a single platform. He also introduces the idea that AI is now constrained by three big bottlenecks: • Infrastructure • A trust deficit (people don’t trust AI yet) • A data gap (models are mostly trained on human internet data, not on rich machine data) Jeetu explains how security becomes a prerequisite for productivity, not a trade-off, and describes Cisco’s work with Splunk, open-sourced time-series models, and machine data (logs, metrics, traces) to close the data gap by correlating machine data with human-generated data for better insights. Globally, he talks about the “token generation race” – how every country now cares about having enough AI token generation capacity because it directly links to GDP and national security. He cites huge infrastructure build-outs with partners like G42 in the Middle East, at gigawatt and trillions-of-dollars scale. Finally, Jeetu tackles the “AI will take my job” fear. He outlines three stages of thinking: 1. “AI will take my job.” 2. “Someone who uses AI better will take my job.” 3. “Without AI, I won’t be able to do my job.” His message to younger viewers: be excited, adopt AI as a companion, own your learning, and learn fast because AI compresses the time it takes to build skills. // Jeetu Patel’s SOCIALS // LinkedIn: / jeetupatel Website: https://www.cisco.com/ X: https://x.com/jpatel41 // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...
