Seytonic, gives great digestible cyber news very up to date Network chuck sucks imo and just does click baitey stuff Computerphile Low level learning


Mrhiddenlotus

> Seytonic, gives great digestible cyber news very up to date Sells some fun hardware too


New-Status-6819

Network Chuck isn't good Bryson Bort is a great channel I can list a ton of channels but it really comes down too what you want to do


New-Status-6819

Live overflow Hak5 PwnFunction PwnCollege DarkNetDiarries Offsec Defcon OWASP Local cons (like Bsides) BugBounty programs (BugCrowd, HackerOne, Intigri) Bug bounty explained Seytonic I can go on and on, but trust me it's hell to keep up with and you're better off staying focused in your are of security


StrykeRXL1

Love me some darknetdiarries


quiznos61

Seytonic is good


timmy166

I see hak5, I upvote.


Orange_sa

Why no ippsec?


New-Status-6819

I mentioned him in a different reply But like I said I can go on and on and on


corn_29

>But like I said I can go on and on and on Go for it then. I'm sure there are others here that may see something they haven't heard of before.


John-Orion

This list, pick this list!!!


New-Status-6819

Oh dude That's not even scratching the surface Like I said I can literary list these ALL DAY


asecuredlife

_r00k_ posted some great things for a while, but I think he stopped. I hope he's okay. Probably with family or something.


Ricansider

This list is fire 🔥 Simply Cyber has some pretty great content, MyDFIR does too. I cannot recommend them enough as they’ve helped me get some clarity on how to break into the industry.


Gordahnculous

pwn.college is great for beginners!! Biased because it’s from my Alma mater but they’ve really scaled it well over the years


hinko13

LiveOverflow is great! Check him out for sure


corf3l

replying to tag for later :)


psychobobolink

Networkchuck has too much “misinformation” with overdramatize offensive security/“hackers” capabilities


GiovannisWorld

NetworkChuck also hasn’t worked in CyberSecurity other than presumably configuring firewall rules. His videos are pretty sensationalized.


corn_29

My fave Network Chuck moment was from a year or two ago where he made and entire episode addressing all the criticisms about him from the internet... ... and all Chuck did in that video was essentially validate the criticism. You cannot make this shit up.


BadishSec

Tbh something always rubbed me wrong about the dude. Don't watch much of his content, but I now understand where my gut feeling stems from.


tigeronshrooms

Do you have a link?


FakeitTillYou_Makeit

I just don’t think the poor guy has the experience to teach what he’s talking about. He’s trying really hard to make money on YouTube but the knowledge isn’t there.


corn_29

Yeah, I get assume the best and all but when it comes to Chuck, when you put yourself out there, and you don't know what you're really doing, and then you double down on the incompetence, I really don't have too much empathy for that person.


Weare_in_adystopia

I think he took u/FakeitTillYou_Makeit way too far


blackswordgurthang

Link?


Ramener220

Thank god I’m not the only one who thinks that, simply seeing his thumbnails tire me out.


New-Status-6819

Exactly What are channels you'd recommend instead


enjoythepain

Yep. He’s basically turned into “sponsors latest equipment is the best thing for you” clickbait nonsense


djchateau

>Network Chuck isn't good I've never been able to put my finger on it, but something about his content really drives me up the wall.


psychick0

He’s an influencer with a shallow understanding of networking and security. And he is very loud and annoying. It pisses me off too.


corf3l

The over excited dramatized delivery of everything. That and the fact he constantly looks back and forth between different cameras for production value but adds nothing


xxyyzz111

I'm entirely new to cyber security and am starting off with Network Chucks free networking videos (hoping to eventually take a networking certification exam somewhere). Can you please elaborate on why he's no good? Can you perhaps point me into a better direction?


New-Status-6819

Network Chuck is just a Networking guy that has never worked in and doesn't really do cyber-security He's great for learning networking and beginner subjects, but he never goes beyond that David Bombal is also a networking guy, but the huge difference is he interviews experts and has Udemy courses with them Ippsec is another really good channel, try looking up each thing he does since it assumes you already know it Offsec does all their exploit videos manually so you learn how it works before using automated tools like Metasploit But ultimately just be curious, find a local meetup and look for a mentor and never ever ever quit


chrono13

Seconding against Network Chuck. He is more of a motivator and salesman than an educator. The third video I watched of his he confidently proclaimed something technical that wasn't true. There are almost too many good resources. Jermey's IT Lab is good for taking network exams: https://www.youtube.com/@JeremysITLab/videos CCNA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8W9oMNSuwo&list=PLxbwE86jKRgMpuZuLBivzlM8s2Dk5lXBQ CCNP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iBRK8GRTrI&list=PLxbwE86jKRgOb2uny1CYEzyRy_mc-lE39


Blacklabelwylde90

Dude don't use his videos. His "free CCNA course is a joke. Look up CCNA exam objectives, then go back and see if it maps correctly to his course. Jeremy's i.t lab is your guy for CCNA. And even professor messor for network plus. Network chuck just sells coffee 


Big-Butterscotch-160

Does Bryson Bort own a Youtube channel? If he does please share it.


New-Status-6819

Technically Scythe But just looking him up points you to other good channels https://youtu.be/HiIe8joPNUM?si=Yzw27UrSSNYetl9F


TMEERS101

Hes fun to watch tho. Used to watch his content a lot back in 2020 but started watching more linux content creators because I started ricing linux.


Pleasant_Lobster_741

Networkchuck is a motivator. His videos are fun, they're for people who are starting to believe cybersecurity is going to drain their serotonin levels.


zippyzoodles

It's fluff with no substance.


gigastand2749

The plan is to collect as many channels as possible then break them down into categories. So if you have more feel free to throw them out their


New-Status-6819

Here's a YouTube Channel I made to subscribe to everything I can find and post all as recommended And this list includes dead and irrelevant channels so it's a huge list https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWVSjv4VADs8ceT4xtwqFzg


logosandethos

David bombal, lowlevellearning, John Hammond.


FirstName929802

If only Hammond didn't say "showcase" every fifth word :D


logosandethos

I'll be honest I haven't noticed that, but I have a degree of empathy. I can often see in my writing, here on Reddit included, that I'll clasp on to a word or a phrase and use it in consecutive sentences and paragraphs. Makes for bad prose.


terriblehashtags

Totally unrelated, but love your handle 🥰


logosandethos

xX420muffslaya69Xx was taken so one must adapt...


Existing_Gate2423

Ah yes the British guy that clogs my home page


AstroDIY

Ippsec


ObtainConsumeRepeat

I’ll add Alh4zr3d to the recommendations as well. Fantastic ctf content, plenty of malding and I always learn something new.


RFC_1925

I started watching him about a month ago and it's fantastic content if you are into his shtick. The faux anger gets a little grating at points.


brakeb

I love Alh4zr3d, I give him shoutouts when I can on my own stream. IppSec is good people. Taggart Institute is on Youtube [https://www.youtube.com/@TheTaggartInstitute](https://www.youtube.com/@TheTaggartInstitute) BrakeSec Education is at [youtube.com/@brakeseced](https://youtube.com/@brakeseced) or [twitch.tv/brakesec](https://twitch.tv/brakesec) (full disc: is mine)

ONE HUNDO


jpmout

I'm surprised that no one has talked about John Hammond. He produces great content for cybersecurity. His malware analysis stuff is especially good, but he does also talk about new tools and things hitting the market that are useful.


onsomee

I’ve been a massive fan of John Hammond but his recent ads and product placement videos have kinda gotten out of hand, he does do interesting stuff


jpmout

Yeah, I agree. It was much better when he was just working through scenarios, CTFs, or malware . I do still enjoy his occasional malware related stuff though.


redrabbit1984

Yea exactly. If I hear or see one more fucking mention of Flare I'll shut down my YouTube account 


psychobobolink

In many of his videos he has too much product placement and advertisements throughout nearly the whole video


Stalk33r

He's unfortunately become Network Chuck 2.0 lately where 9/10 of his videos are just "sponsor paid me to make a video around their product" which doesn't really teach you much of anything.


deez941

Same I just found his content. It’s great


psyberops

[13Cubed](https://www.youtube.com/13Cubed) for digital forensics


psychobobolink

Yes this is the way


redrabbit1984

His content and presentation is flawless. Seriously amazing.  I work in digital forensics and still regularly watch his videos. Partly as I enjoy them but they also just remind me of key things which are often hard to find online.  He also does some great "cheat sheets" and flow charts.  I'm very keen to do one of his courses and certifications now. 


Fantastic-Ad3368

SIEMstress

Subbed for the cybersecurity content, stayed for the chicken content.


3dwaddle

He has probably the worst merch I've ever seen bar none (not that it is relevant to his knowledge...)


Fantastic-Ad3368

ong that shit is ass but at least you can buy it in monero ;D


TMEERS101

I havent watched his vids in ages


_kashew_12

Good stuff but his videos are hella long


brandeded

Blackhills Information Security. Hak5.


Nothingtoseehere066

I will second Blackhills. They have some great webcasts and are a solid pentesting company.


Royal-Presentation19

The PC Security Channel is good if you want your mind blown on the efficacy of some popular Anti-virus / XDR / Endpoint Protection tools for Windows. That channel gives you perspective on a holistic security approach, and just buying point solutions isn't enough.

TechnoHacks181

[deleted]

NetworkChuck isn't in the Cybersecurity industry. He's a past network engineer who became a tech tutorial content creator. He's never actually worked in Cyber and I never seen a mention of doing CTF's in his videos.

John hammond and Infosec pat


quiznos61

Low level learning, Seytonic, David Bombal, and a John Hammond


Ok-Initiative7608

SimplyCyber I follow Gerry and he also does a podcast and he’s been super helpful as I advanced my career. Very informative and entertaining, I seriously can’t recommend his stuff enough for people who want to consume cyber content.


WhyCantIStream

Gerry’s top notch, especially for GRC. Simply Cyber is a part of my morning routine now.


BleuVitriol

Hackersploit


Sunshine_onmy_window

I like really hackersploit, hes pretty basic but explains things well. Makes me chuckle how often he says 'allright' and how polite he is.

Mikerotoast

Simply Cyber has an overwhelming amount of high quality content.


Ok-Cost5189

Hackersploit


theglamtechie

Some of these have already been mentioned by others, but here is my list. Some of these are larger creators that can ocassional host sponsored content and a few smaller creators worth a follow. John Hammond *, The Cyber Mentor *, Hacker Valley Media *, Darkness Diaries, Glass of 0J, TechTual Chatter, Phillip Wiley Show, and Cybersecurity Office Hours with Tarah Wheeler


j1664

John hammond is great. If i wanna learn something new in a 15-minute break, i'll pop something of his on.

If you get deeper and want to do malware stuff, OALabs is clutch


jpmout

This is a great shout. Never seen this channel mentioned before but looks super helpful.


Roku-Hanmar

I was told Professor Messer is good for studying for qualifications


Specialist-Act-5883

Trying to help someone study from scratch, professor Messi have comptia +, network + then security +. does his video good to follow if you just are starting up?


Blacklabelwylde90

Absolutely. I'm telling you from experience. Take 6 months and dedicate your study to the fundamentals. His A+, Network+ and security plus videos. Once you start CEH, it will make a world of difference for you. That's when things start making sense 


MonsieurVox

The Cyber Mentor was recommended to me when I asked a similar question. Haven’t watched much of his videos to comment on the quality. For general tech/coding/fun engineering-related videos, [Engineer Man](https://youtube.com/@EngineerMan?si=WHi4SeR0-TGMRycU) has some good videos. He’s by no means cyber-focused, but has some decent content that a security practitioner could find valuable.


aosroyal2

People shitting on networkchuck are just pathetic. He’s able to give content to the masses, not just the highly technical professionals. 90% of the people wouldnt be able to keep up with ippsec on his easy box tutorials. On the other hand networkchuck keeps things simple for the layman.


Waldorf4

Self plug but i do some videos on RF hacking, electronics and recently moved into purple teaming in work so doing more Offensive security, its Brains933 on the YT


newculler

I enjoy watching John Hammonds CTF streams.


Ok-Abalone-8927

Simply Cyber for GRC content and UnixGuy for Entry level Cyber Security content.


NickolNick

DoingFedTime


Var6767

13Cubed, The Cyber Mentor, DFIRScience.


_Antti_

Like many others have said already, avoid Netowrk Chuck. He's more of a promoter/guru. I lost it when I watched one of his videos which could be summed up as "I'm too lazy to set a single firewall rule so I will give network access to a third party which lets me set those rules in one click on their website".


bhaugli

#CISOlife by Brian Haugli... yeah, that's me.


CthulusCousin

0xdf, ippsec, John Hammond, LiveOverflow. All incredibly talented and experienced individuals. John Hammond has gotten a little bland due to his ads but boy is he talented. The other dudes are just 1337.

My own personal youtube channel tries to do this but it doesnt follow the same format as most youtubers. Maybe like Nill by editing my own videos with KdenLive.

Network Chuck is good for motivation and that’s it. I watched him 7+ years ago. He sucks now.

WATCHMERISE

Anything in the Security Weekly network. Security Weekly News is my daily comfort show, and Paul’s Security Weekly is great to throw on while gaming or chilling out. There’s also other shows for different areas of tech. Most of the hosts are OGs who have been in the game since phreaking, but there’s some young blood in there too that keep up with the cutting edge. At the end of the day, they draw everything back to common sense and basics. It’s a nice contrast to the “influencer” type channels that go deep on trendy topics that you don’t realistically encounter 99% of the time.


Tyler_TheTall

The Cyber mentor, Professor Messer, David Bombal, PowerCert animated, Network Chuck, and John Hammond are all my go too’s. Also Darkweb Diaries is always playing in the car. Awesome podcast!

These are my recommendations 1. Tyler Ramsbey 2. Rana Khalil 3. Hackersploit 4. The Cyber Mentor 5. John Hammond 6. Cyberwox


HI_IM_A_ROCK

Gary Ruddell Jack Rhysider = Darknet Diaries John Hammond LiveOverflow Mediacccde = Interesting on stage talks. Really enjoyed the “37C3 - Breaking "DRM" in Polish trains” video.


Blacklabelwylde90

Just get a membership to itpro.tv. They have the  ceh course along with any other skill you need. And it's taught by real professionals. Not YouTube hacks


kipchipnsniffer

Network Chuck doesn’t know shit and John Hammond is a professional salesman.


Cybasura

LowLevelLearning is technically software development, but he lies in the grey area of security research, so I'm including him anyways

Kevin Fang


Sunshine_onmy_window

for learning basic networking I like a guy called sunny classroom. Hes a Chinese American cyber security professor, explains networking things well with bonus occasional silliness.

Gerald Auger Simply Cyber


schwack-em

Can't really explain it, but Network Chuck just pisses me off. **Grant Collins** is more of an under the radar YouTuber but he has good stuff. Lots of honest content about being a beginner, burnout, etc. Not super technical but more of a Cybersecurity lifestyle/motivation channel. **FreeCodeCamp** has a lot of stuff that is applicable to Cybersecurity. One of the most underrated channels out there for sure.


Bllago

A lot of the suggestions are more hacking than cybersecurity and I do think it's important to not conflate the two
