"I rob banks for a living," but it's all totally legal🎙Darknet Diaries Ep. 66: Freakyclown 

This guy was literally 007 and he sounded like a nice genuine person having fun at his job

Yes FC, I met you about a decade ago in Preston at uclan when you did a talk for the game programming class about what you do and later a class you tried to teach. You invited me to a dinner with some of the other students and I always regretted not going and chatting with you some more. I ended up getting a degree in network security and ethical hacking and now work for the NHS. Just want to say thank you. You literally changed my path in life for the better

The Physical and Cyber pentesting is peak job satisfaction. Love hearing stories on successful pentests.

As a teen, this podcast really opened my eyes to ethical hacking. I watched your password video and started doing an ethical hacking competition. It's fun.

I’ve been watching every episode as they come out and I absolutely love this show

"Afterwards I was so nervous and sweaty, I looked like a homeless person." i love this guy

Hot damn a new Rhysider! This is one of the best channels here on the tubes, hands down!

46:37 I guess the advantage of a backfire such as warning the bank someone's coming is to expose an extra security failure (banks not following their own compliance when responding to a threat)

I'm really loving this channel the content is top notch. Love the way you edit the interviews.

Man he my inspiration!! Just the love he has for his job. He has my full respect!

Nice to wake up to a new episode! lets hack the youtube algo by liking and leaving a comment.

Only 20 mins in and this was the coolest video to come across. Love your channel!

Raytheon? YIKES! They also handle missile defence systems in the UK. I recommended Mo' to get an interview, he was a skilled defender (and perhaps more) and he had a spark for aviation. Even saying you work for Ray is probably under (something like) a 7yr NDA. Rec this guy to be careful - not sure of his contract details - but they have mega lawyers. Thanks for the story. You've become my fav channel.

This episode was incredibly eye-opening! It's amazing to see how ethical hackers use their skills to help secure financial institutions

15:56: new meaning to the term "pen" testing.

Ethical Hackers always have our RESPECT

This channel was my greatest 2023 RU-vid find. Awesome word, kind regards from Brazil

Stumbled across this video/channel from my recommends and I've got to say I am a big fan of this style of editing where it's part interview and part informational.

If you want more of the same, I highly recommend the book “Breaking and Entering: The Extraordinary Story of a Hacker Called Alien.” More of the same with great stories from hacking adventures at MIT.

it's unbelievable how easy his tasks were, like breaking into a government building, someone let him in, and security guards do nothing about it??

Thanks for the work you guys are doing. I'd love to give back to the community as well. The format of this podcast was also awesome. Keep it up!

Jack, this is three years old man. You need to release all your old content on this platform please. You will have huge amount of binge watching happen, for goodness sake Jack, give us your work.......

Love the visuals with the opening. Edit: I’m thinking that being a smoker is a benefit when your pen testing.

I’m a private investigator and tbh the things he does and he things I do on the job are very similar, I’ve never broken into a bank or a hospital but I’ve gotten into plenty of apartments with keypads and locks and snuck around plenty of office buildings

Sometimes for a company to have better security, they need to pay more to the employees. If I get minimum wage for a job I won't care much about security of that job, cause I can get this anywhere else.

police phoned to tell him that they want to arrest him, "can you please come down to the station?" So polite, so british, i love it

That bank said I could keep a good bar if I was able to get one. So I hired this guy and told him I work for the bank.

21:45 Omg, this is such a dead give away of "Yes, I did." because if he never worked for them he would just say no. This is like the whole situation around putting alcohol in a paper bag thing. It's the best way to conceal that it is alcohol if you drink it in public, but it also makes it completely obvious that you are drinking alcohol because who just puts a bottle of fruity juice in a paper bag and drink it from the bag? The bag conceals, but it also reveals. I guess a better answer would be "Yes, but I can't speak of anything I did there for obvious reasons."

Love hearing about social engineering experts. Really underscores the need for training, ESPECIALLY at the higher levels of the org chart.

"More awkward you make it the less likely they are to confront you"

The camera trick was next level clever!

This channel is awesome. What a great episode. So glad i found this.

"Are we going to be in a Magazine?" I am 💀

this guy is more inspiring than most celebrities

So on the first story, they kind of glossed over explaining exactly how he got in to the back area of the bank. Like they said "He got in around back" yeah but how. Was the door just open? Did someone let you in? What?

I love this. - So the police phoned me up & said we want to arrest you can you come down to the station? - So I went down to the station. - Go away get a lawyer come back so we can arrest you. - So I went and got a lawyer and went back to be arrested. Lmao!!! What is happening over there? This sounds like a comedy skit! 🤣 Only in Britain would this fabulous police tactic work. Job well done chaps, we got him! We finally nabbed freaky clown! Applause all around especially Billy everyone thank billy for making the phone call in the first place. Lmao

Canadian here. My daughter got into a bit of trouble with the law as a teenager. The practice of calling up a perpetrator and asking to come to the police station, from what I’ve seen from a few cases, is not unusual for a first time offender if it’s a non-violent crime. Just make sure you show up!

Dude: breaks toe while doing job Also dude: "I wouldn't break my toe for a job"

*I LOVE THIS CHANNEL*

I only knew that this badass appeared on Darknet Diaries is this episode because today I read his book in a Barnes In Nobel. It references that he appeared on this number episode. And that made me think, "Hot shit! I've got to go see this episode tonight!" If Jack_Rhysider interviews someone and they have a book. Yeah its got to be good.

Jack your series is awesome! I listen all day when I'm at work. Started on Gta online 5 months ago and now I'm here 🤔.... time to go back to school for a career change!

Freaky resemblance. 40yrs back I was hired as a temp at a bank. My job, irregular without any preinfo, transporting bare banknotes, from vault to vault. In scruffy jeans, carrying bin liners with 6+ figure value, I walked through ordinary day to day people. Even myself found it 'normal' to do. Security sits between ones ears!

"..in a European country so, not in England..." a touch of British exceptionalism slipping out...

The most amazing story.

down side is, people wil always start being anoyed with that one employee who refuses to be slack, eventually this will happen, and if your patient enough then you can social engineer your way pass anyone.

This channel should receive so much more views!

Dude. You got yourself another solid subscriber. Damn I'm addicted. Time to start from the beginning I guess.\

How does this guy not have a million subs

this guy holds every single record for hotline miami 2 hard mode speedrunning 100%

I’ve only been subscribed for a month n I’m hooked to every upload

a big human vulnerability in super closed off buildings is the security personnel on the inside. once you are inside most just assume you are supposed to be there since the place is so guarded.

Bro is the Joe Rogan of CyberSec

Also, I’ve worked in buildings under martial law, high security buildings (where I lost my pass for a month), and even visited buildings under USA regulations for arms manufacturers. In the last, I was caught by security at one point and escorted back to the front. Front office comment was “but that’s just Jack!”. I never had malicious intent, so it was just fun to try how far I could push it. Hobbies are great! Also, it’s very different for people that security/staff are used to seeing vs a stranger.

Background music is super distracting. Doesnt add value and makes it hard to focus on the voice.

Imagine randomly meeting this dude at say a festival and getting into conversation with him. He'd have you absolutely captivated .. well, he would me anyway

With this medical staff doing fantastically work, what a rubbish...

Love this channel

i would be happy to see how the reaction was from the people in charge after he got into the 3 buildings and placed also a rasperry-pie i there... :D

Great stories but FC needs to work on his continuity. 31:43 doesn't speak the language.... 10 mins later, having conversations with receptionist, people in office etc... Subscribed.

Please consider changing the audio mix levels between the voiceover and the backing tracks at points the backing is too loud or overwhelming/distracting on full range theatre monitor systems Great stories maybe you use headphones to edit/qc use full range (include sub) to replay?

After watching the DD on Samy, I've become hooked. This is fantastic content.

The pen works... Even a toothbrush works 😅

Happy to see a new vid.

Amazing video , and content , and this guy is amazing and super polite , any his story telling is spot on , would love to meet this guy and attend his class but I live in America and I am old

Did he work for any intelligence agencies? Judging by his answer that's a yes.

Raytheon is mostly known for weapons like missiles, not avionics or aircraft engines. They're the core military corp. in the US.

what i took away from this is that there are people who can get clients such as FC to go into a bank and steal a gold bar for them....

this inspire me more to learning cyber security

That was fascinating! Very cool!!

New sub. Ya won me over in 3 seconds. This is amazing work.

People are generally not paid enough to confront potential hackers or intruders

incredibly good listen well done

Gonna drop this comment for algo, nice work brother

Real Mission Impossible guy , Respect++. May Thanos show you mercy 🙏

This some great improvised writing taken from some copy pasta on 4chan lmao.

Wish I could have an interview with “Robin Hood”

How the hell do you get a job like this??

43:10 is exactly what was the most shocking to me when I worked for a guvt agency, everybody wore at the very least business casual, and one day I saw a dude in shorts so I tried the next time in military boots, marpat shorts and untied hair, nobody batted an eye. The culture seems to really be shifting, at least in some european countries.

Not really a fan of podcasts but this one right here is fantastic

So this guy was always honest never really stole anything.

disrupt type vibe but not there yet

Best thing on RU-vid!

My words are chow for the mighty algorithm

When the banks steal from you, take control over your money and other undesirable situations. You almost have no choice but to take it right back, with interest while installing gods eye ;)

Bro your series could be a tv show

Gold is a very dense metal, around the same density as tungsten.

Great Gem Channel Found I will listen to all of them :)

Waiting for FC to tweet from space because the client assumed he could not enter a spaceship . I wonder which collegue he has on speed dial for launch control 😅

Amazing.... I saw the title and I immediately thought about penetration test. But honestly I don't know if I will have the nerves to hand that

It is what it is !

Great ep 💓💓

man nah its more to him getting inside these buildings than what he letting on.....

@ 26:47, i think he meant to say disseminate instead of decimate..

I can't comment on any of the other stories but the gold bullion vault story total BS! The majority of the international banks operating in the square mile are just offices, no cash, no gold, nothing. The banks with vaults are impenetrable, the gold is kept within cages, within vaults, within vaults. No doors are left open ever, you don't get to stroll about with a good delivery bar in your backpack. His story might work for some retail dealer but his story tells me he's never been inside a vault🤣

bro lies a lot but hes chill

Your videos always leave us feeling motivated and uplifted.

He sounds like Eliot the character in Mr Robot

Banks in my country dont even have that security. They do have a non-english language so attack chance is kinda small as english speakers are sus.

Thank you Jack

Maybe better secure people from banks robbing them with these inflation rates 🤣🤣🤣
