Does this mean that all the reverse engineering videos, con talks, prof of exploit demos, CTF walkthroughs', and fuzzing tutorials will be removed? What about videos showing me how to use tools like Twistlock? Will they be exempt, but videos about burp be banned? What constitutes a "secure" computer system?

Side note, I guess its time to fire up youtube-dl. Are there any channels that need to be archived? I normally just watch what comes up in a search, not anyone in particular.

Exploiting a buffer overflow in sprintf was a lab assignment in my computer architecture course, iirc I had to watch a few youtube videos to really understand what I needed to do (my TA wasn't particularly helpful).

Not to go all slippery slope, but are BosnianBill and the Lock Picking Lawyer next?

I'm not going to be able to take a look for a few days, but I'd be grateful if someone made sure that most of the Defcon talks were archived or mirrored somewhere.

https://media.ccc.de/

Thanks, didn't realize these existed.

You will also find recent ccc conferences on peertube nodes.

Please use tubeup [1] to backup at risk videos to the Internet Archive. It uses youtube-dl on the backend for retrieving content, subtitles, etc, and will properly set metadata for the item in the archive. The content will be darked if there’s an issue serving it, and the IA staff and storage system will throttle you if necessary (which will bubble up as s3 timeouts).

DEFCON, CCC, and other infosec groups need to move to peertube ASAP.

CCC famously rolls their own streaming infrastructure during congress and all of it is available at https://media.ccc.de/

Not just during congress. The C3VOC (CCC Video Operations Center) serves Chaos events and tech conferences throughout the whole year.

Source: Volunteered for VOC duty a few times.

Someone suggested federating with the PeerTube network to the people maintaining the backend for https://media.ccc.de , but there doesn't seem to have been a decision on that yet.

'Adrian Crenshaw' Records from 20+ hacker/infosec cons yearly and have around 2k vids on his channel.

'LiveOverflow'

Next up, banning video tutorials on how to use youtube-dl.

And loading apps outside the Play store on Android.

Shh, don't give them ideas.

I think ippsec recently set up a mirror for himself where you can download all of his videos, but his videos on youtube are tremendous help on my way to OSCP. He does walkthroughs of boxes hosted on hackthebox shortly after they retire.

It's a shame to see this type of content at risk of being blacklisted.

He is the first one I thought of when I read this! He has been so helpful on my journey as well

Too many to count.
