David Bombal

About this episode

It's just too easy to hack badly configured networks. You need to learn to code! Learn Python. Learn Networking. You are going to be very powerful and very scary if you combine knowledge of networking with Python scripting! But, do good.

In this video I'll show you why you need to configure networks properly to avoid spanning tree and other protocol manipulation using simple Python scripts. Learn to code. Learn Linux. Learn Kali Linux.
