CLICK HERE to learn more about me and this channel!

Welcome - 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!

New video dropped, but question to everyone out there... do you agree with the tools I chose for those just getting started in the field? Limiting myself to five was difficult, tbh.

Let me know in the comments - really eager for additional feedback. Thanks!
