Her:(mentions penetration testing)
Me:Your house or mine?😏
Every person I know who works in development, engineering, and IT is male (and even my department is full of men — they’re awesome though) but I wish I knew of more women in these fields as a student, I would’ve had more confidence and direction then.
No addressing the need to type really fast when hacking or fighting a hack? 🙂
Feeling cute might hack later
Malwareunicorn – is that your actual stuff or is that a set?
so basically she knows nothing about security
…Red Hat? As in, Linux?
10:43 she pretty much gave up at trying to pronounce their username XD
I don’t hate C++
C++ hates me
Hi Malware Unicorn where can I buy your pink Ethernet cables & keyboard ⌨️ 🤔
Good 🍀
Omg I started Computer science but switched to a Graphic design i got my BA but now my second half needs get Sybersecurity degree
1:04 when a wannabe uses that anonymous mask. CRINGE!
Red hat is a linux hack? lol
4:19 doesnt answer the question at all. It’s an answer to a question that wasn’t asked.
Those ethernet cables are called patch cords ):
"Why go to the gym when you’re gonna die anyway"
That’s why i dont go to gym :'(
I love those pink patchcables
she’s a cybersecurity expert…?
the desk……….. wtf
a female, a hacker and pretty. you are the whole package.
She’s so cool!
0:35 disappointed that the first association with Red Hat wasn’t RHEL which is obviously what caused this question in the first place.
:'(
😭😭😭it has been four days since i was attack by mosk virus which is a malware and it has encrypted all my music and Anime collection of about 4tb now all i had to do is format it bc there’s no other way
Red Hat Linux, created by the company Red Hat, was a widely used Linux distribution until its discontinuation in 2004. Early releases of Red Hat Linux were called Red Hat Commercial Linux. Red Hat published the first non-beta release in May 1995.
Red hat is REHL. Duh!!
REDHAT – Linux users : Am I joke to you
WiFi Pineapple just right there on the desk, #accurate.
There is basically no white,grey or black hat. it’s just hacking ethically and unethically
A ski mast will sort of protect you, when following a cable under a raised floor in a wire center or machine room.
(Yes we really used to do that.)
came here for information… found my new wife
Where did she get pink ethernet cables
Wow, what a waste of time. Generic and unhelpful answers to authentically curious but unaware questions.
How proficient are you in your field not making the connection between Red Hat and Linux?
Red hat is a linux distro
No offense but she looks like jimmy fallon’s female version
There is red hat conference.
Why tf I’m listening here? I’m a CIVIL ENGINEER
Question: Has anyone ever hacked your pants? asking for a friend
wonder whos been her bf
she didnt answer te questions or explain anything
I want to be her
Omg,is she rousseau?
totally had a different thing in mind regarding "penetration tester"
I wanna be a perpetrator tester 🙂
It’s so hard to tell nowadays if she is actually genuinely into cyber security or she’s just another part of the "get more women in tech" pandering fetish. You really have to live and breath hacking to excel in it. That’s why lonely single guys tend to be really good at it. You can’t be that good looking and be amazing at it unless shes a total genious
Red Hat Linux?
Hahah! I’ve always asked that about student loan logins.
She described grey hat incorrectly………
red hat linux….
Red Hat is Linux O.S.
It is specifically tailored for organizations.
Talk about air – gaped, please.
