#617: This Is How NVIDIA's AI Mercedes Drives in Real Traffic
4 november 2026 · 42 min
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. Lees meer
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?

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. Lees meer
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 GhidraIf you have some programming knowledge and want to understand how malware works, this is a practical look at the skills involved.

How private are the apps you use every day? 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 planningWhy 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 encryptionWhich privacy setting or app are you going to review first? Let me know in the comments, and subscribe for more cybersecurity and privacy conversations.

#611: Building AI Agents? Set Up These Guardrails First
1 oktober 2026 · 22 min
Big thanks to @Cisco & @Splunkofficial for sponsoring my trip to .Conf 2026 and also for sponsoring this video. Lees meer
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 //

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 cybersecurityThe demonstration uses a spacecraft simulator. The vulnerabilities shown were disclosed to the vendor and patched.

How do you hack an AI system? 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

Is Microsoft Defender enough to protect your PC? Malware researcher Leo joins me at Black Hat to discuss antivirus, Windows security and how hackers steal your accounts.
We explore how infostealers target saved passwords and session tokens, why two-factor authentication cannot prevent every account takeover, and how a message from a compromised friend’s account can lead to an infection.
Leo shares practical starting points for investigating your computer, including Autoruns for startup entries, TCPView for linking connections to applications, and Wireshark for examining network traffic. We also discuss password managers, account recovery planning, Windows telemetry and why switching operating systems does not eliminate security risks.
In this interview:
• Microsoft Defender’s strengths and limitations
• Free tools for investigating suspicious Windows activity
• How infostealers and initial access brokers operate
• Stolen session tokens and the limits of 2FA
• Fake download sites, malicious ads and targeted phishing
• Preparing recovery options before your accounts are compromised
• Security and privacy trade-offs across Windows, Linux and macOS// Leo’s SOCIAL //

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 //

Your license plate could reveal more than you think. Flock cameras, vehicle tracking and OSINT can turn information about your car into clues about where you live and your daily routines.
I’m joined by an OSINT expert to discuss how vehicle information can be connected with public records, why surveillance raises privacy concerns and what happens when people trust an incorrect license plate match.
He shares his experiences of locating a missing car after a police search came up short and investigating a hit-and-run using a partial plate and publicly available
information.We discuss:
• Flock cameras and vehicle identification beyond license plates
• How vehicle data can expose patterns in your movements
• License plate recognition errors and the importance of verification
• How public records can connect a vehicle to a person
• The risks of surveillance access being abused
• Privacy measures, their limitations and the need for accountability
• DeFlock and community scrutiny of surveillance camerasHow much can someone discover about you from the information you leave exposed?

John DiMaggio created fake identities, profiled ransomware operators and spent approximately 18 months earning the trust of LockBit.
In this interview, John explains how his investigation led to work with the FBI and the UK’s National Crime Agency, contributed to indictments and resulted in death threats against him. He also reveals how the work affected his mental health, relationships and everyday life.
John shares the remarkable story of a young REvil hacker connected to the Kaseya ransomware attack and its $70 million ransom demand. He explains how ransomware operators are recruited, manipulated and sometimes controlled by intelligence agencies.
You will also learn why stolen cryptocurrency is difficult to spend, how Bitcoin tracing and money-laundering mistakes expose cybercriminals and why technical hacking skills do not make someone good at hiding money. Finally, John warns aspiring researchers not to approach ransomware gangs without professional training and support. He discusses his new book, Owned, and how he plans to use his experience to help cybersecurity teams and business leaders prepare for ransomware attacks.

Age verification is spreading across the internet. 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.
Finally, Alexis shares practical ways to protect your privacy, including using encrypted communication, learning from EFF’s Surveillance Self-Defense guides and contacting elected representatives when harmful legislation is proposed.

#602: How Compilers Turn Secure C Code Into Vulnerable Binaries

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.

A zero-click attack can compromise your phone without you opening a link, installing an application or even touching the device.
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. Pixel users running the latest security updates are protected.

#600: This Free Tool Decodes Game Boy ROM From a Photograph
2 september 2026 · 42 min
Can you recover working software from a photograph of a microchip? Lees meer
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.

#599: This Pocket Tool Diagnoses Wi-Fi in 45 Seconds
2 september 2026 · 43 min
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. Lees meer
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.

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

#596: This is the Real Cybersecurity Problem
20 augustus 2026 · 28 min
Thank you to Threatlocker for sponsoring my trip to Black Hat so I can interview amazing people. Lees meer
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.
Topics include:
Why cybersecurity may be a software quality problem
Why users are blamed for insecure software
CISA’s Secure by Design initiative
Why default passwords should disappear
AI agents behaving in unexpected ways
AI and the future of zero-day attacks
Memory safety, C, C++ and Rust
Government regulation and vendor accountability
The EU Cyber Resilience Act
Why Patch Tuesday may eventually become unacceptable
How AI could help defenders find and fix vulnerabilities

#593: How to pass the CCNA exam (advice from two Cisco instructors)
25 juli 2026 · 36 min
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. Lees meer
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.

Also, a Big thanks to Cisco for sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live Vegas 2026.
Do you really need Cat 8 Ethernet for your home network in 2026? 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.
If you want to build or troubleshoot networks effectively, you need to understand the physical layer.

#586: Stop zero days without a patch: You need to learn eBPF
24 juni 2026 · 22 min
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. Lees meer

#585: Run Full WiFi Networks in your laptop 🤯
24 juni 2026 · 20 min
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. Lees meer
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.

1000W touch safe power sounds impossible, but Class 4 Fault Managed Power is changing how we think about power delivery for AI data centers, buildings, networking, and IT infrastructure.
In this interview, we look at how Cisco, NTT, and Panduit are approaching the next generation of energy networking systems. 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…

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! Lees meerDr. 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.

#580: Cisco's first Quantum Switch: What it means for you
13 juni 2026 · 47 min
Big thanks to @Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live Vegas 2026. Lees meer
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.

#578: How Cisco Is Using AI to Fix Networks
5 juni 2026 · 23 min
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. Lees meer
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.

Are AI attackers winning the cybersecurity war? In this video, I sit down with Daniel Miessler, a 25-year security veteran, to discuss the terrifying reality of AI-driven cyber attacks and the massive advantage hackers have today. But it is not all doom and gloom. Daniel introduces his open-source project, PAI (Personal AI Infrastructure), demonstrating how you can build a customized, local AI assistant to automate your workflow, defend your data, and level up your tech skills. We cover everything from AI agents conducting prompt injection CTFs (like Gandalf) in real-time, to the future of work and why the ultimate goal of many corporations is zero human employees. Whether you are worried about AI replacing your job or you want to learn how to leverage local LLMs, Linux, and agentic AI to become an unstoppable force, this conversation is your blueprint for surviving and thriving in the 2026 tech landscape.

Welcome back to the channel! In this deep dive, Stephen returns to break down the rapidly evolving landscape of AI in cybersecurity. We explore the critical differences between offensive AI (using AI to enhance attacks) and adversarial AI (attacking the AI models themselves). Learn the mechanics behind prompt injection, LLM jailbreaking, and how vector databases are structured. We also analyze real-world case studies, including Google Project Zero's Big Sleep autonomous zero-day agent, and demonstrate how new AI-driven tools are being used for patch diffing and root cause analysis. Finally, we tackle the massive industry question: will AI replace human penetration testers, and what steps should you take right now to futureproof your tech career? Plus, a quick look at how automated agents are tackling API vulnerabilities like BOLA.
