When I'm focused on hacking, this is typically how I have the lights and music set up. Silly to have all the gear and not have it all going when I'm working - there's many times where I hung out at dance clubs practicing hacking in my younger days, so it's probably programmed in me to have all the distractions going while I hack. ;-)

My name is Tom Wilhelm and I have been a professional pentester for over two decades. My latest career role was that of a pentesting Practice Director in charge of a large team of other professional penetration testers. I have written numerous books on the topic, spoken at Hacker Conferences across the US, and was an Associate Professor teaching ethical hacking to both undergrad and graduates. Before that, I was in the U.S. Army as a Signals Intelligence Analyst, Cryptanalyst, and Russian Linguist. I started learning about hacking in the 80's back when BBS systems were all the rage and dial up modems were the primary way to be connected with other hackers, so I've seen a lot and can share a lot.

I created this channel to expand my teaching of the ethics and techniques needed to become a professional penetration tester to a wider audience. Hope you enjoy, and good luck on your journey to be a professional, ethical hacker!
