#510: 20–30% Of Attacks Use AI: John Hammond details today’s hybrid attacks

To try everything Brilliant has to offer for free for a full 30 days, visit https://brilliant.org/davidbombal or scan the QR code onscreen – You’ll also get 20% off an annual premium subscription. 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 // John Hammond’s SOCIALS // YouTube: / @_johnhammond X: https://x.com/_johnhammond LinkedIn: / johnhammond010 Discord: / discord Instagram: / _johnhammond TikTok: / johnhammond010 GitHub: https://github.com/JohnHammond Humble Bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/?partner...

#19: Jeremy Grossmann - creator of GNS3 - discusses the GNS3 architecture with David Bombal

Jeremy created GNS3 while at University. GNS3 has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of network engineers around the world. In this video, Jeremy discusses the GNS3 architecture. GNS3 is split into four parts: 1) GUI (project gns3-gui, gns3-web) 2) Controller (project gns3-server) 3) Compute (project gns3-server) 4) Emulators (qemu, iou, dynamips...) The controller is in charge of everything. It’s the part that manages the state of a project, and saves it to disk. Only one controller exists. The GUI displays the topology. The GUI has only direct contact with the controller. The compute servers are where emulators are executed. If the compute is on the same server as the controller, they are in the same process. For each node of the topology will start an emulator instance.

#16: 2019 Career tips: What should you study? CCNA, CCNP, OpenFlow, Python or CCIE?

I interview Eric Chou - author of the book: Mastering Python Networking: Your one-stop solution to using Python for network automation, DevOps, and Test-Driven Development. He tells us his views of what to study in 2019. Is OpenFlow dead? Is it worth learning OpenFlow? Should you study for CCNA? Or CCNP? Or even CCIE? Or should you just study Python?
