"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.

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

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

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)

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.

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!

these stories alongside your editing/storytelling style makes these videos great. keep em comin jack!

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

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

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

One of the best episodes yet, awesome!

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

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

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

This channel is my new favorite!

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.

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??

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

This channel should receive so much more views!

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.

Ethical Hackers always have our RESPECT

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

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

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.

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

The camera trick was next level clever!

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.......

Happy to see a new vid.

this is real journalism, art, and should be on national tv.

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

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

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 this channel

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

Nice to see RU-vid denizens catching on and appreciating the content.

*I LOVE THIS CHANNEL*

That was fascinating! Very cool!!

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

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

Great ep 💓💓

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

i love the old school npr style interviews!!!

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!

incredibly good listen well done

Bro is the Joe Rogan of CyberSec

Great stuff FC!

Great episode.

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.

this guy is more inspiring than most celebrities

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.

this inspire me more to learning cyber security

Excellent video.

Best thing on RU-vid!

Great episode, as always

Your videos always leave us feeling motivated and uplifted.

Awesome podcast ever!!!!!

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!

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?

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

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

Thank you Jack

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

You should make a playlist with all of the pentest episodes 😃

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

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.

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

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!

The most amazing story.

Love the podcast Btw !

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

love these

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.

Bro your series could be a tv show

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 😅

Gonna drop this comment for algo, nice work brother

sounds like a super freaking fun job!

Wooou man! I love this template! How did you did it!? 😲😲😲

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

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.

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.

If you need to get out, but have to show ID in order to do so, there's always the fire alarm :) Seems to me like the European country with all the cameras and strange language was the Netherlands and that the place was something like the Amsterdam Internet Central or some government building in Den Haag. Relying on camera systems will make the security inside the place much more relaxed and that may not be a good thing.

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?

Really impressed

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

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

what program do you use to make visuals for your channel? Love the content, thank you

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

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

That is a cool thumbnail.

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

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....

Any proof of truthfulness of this, would be really great

Wow! I’m gonna try this sometime hahaha

Cool chat!

disrupt type vibe but not there yet

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