  Big thank you to DeleteMe for sponsoring this video. Use my link join https://joindeleteme.com/Bombal or use the QR code in the video to get 20% off. 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 cameras How much can someone discover about you from the information you leave exposed? // Mishaal Kahn’s SOCIALS // LinkedIn: / mish-aal Website: https://www.mishaalkhan.com/ Tool created: https://www.operationprivacy.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...

  #603: How Age Verification Threatens Your Online Privacy 08.09.2026 47min

  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 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. // Alexis Hancock’ SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / alexishancock // EFF Website REFERENCE // https://www.eff.org/ // 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...

  #602: How Compilers Turn Secure C Code Into Vulnerable Binaries 08.09.2026 30min

  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 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...

  #601: Google Researchers Hacked the Pixel Phone using Audio Messages 08.09.2026 39min

  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 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.

  #600: This Free Tool Decodes Game Boy ROM From a Photograph 02.09.2026 41min

  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.

  #599: This Pocket Tool Diagnoses Wi-Fi in 45 Seconds 02.09.2026 42min

  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.

  #598: AI Can’t Understand Intent. That’s a Security Problem 26.08.2026 26min

  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 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...

  #596: This is the Real Cybersecurity Problem 20.08.2026 28min

  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. 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 Jen Easterly’s advice for cybersecurity professionals If you work in cybersecurity, ethical hacking, software development, networking, AI security, or critical infrastructure, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. // Jen Easterly’s SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / jen-easterly // Website REFERENCE // https://www.cisa.gov/ // 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...

  #593: How to pass the CCNA exam (advice from two Cisco instructors) 25.07.2026 36min

  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.

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. // Jim Davis from Fluke Networks SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / jimdavisflukenetworks Website: https://www.flukenetworks.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...

  #586: Stop zero days without a patch: You need to learn eBPF 24.06.2026 21min

  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.
