The blog is getting a video series. First one drops next week

For a while now this has been a text-only operation. Long-form write-ups, the occasional cheatsheet, the odd rant when someone’s threat model didn’t survive contact with reality. None of that is going away. Starting next week there’s video too.

What the first video is all About

It’s an introduction to cybersecurity. Not a CVE breakdown, not a red team writeup, not another Wi-Fi pentest walkthrough. The basics: what the field is, how the major domains fit together, why the CIA triad keeps showing up on every certification syllabus you’ll ever open, and where someone starting from zero would actually begin.

If that description made you sigh, skip it, this one isn’t for you. Most of what runs on this blog assumes you already live in a terminal. This video is for the person who doesn’t yet, who landed here off a search result with no background and no idea what half the acronyms mean.

It won’t run long. If it can be said in eight minutes, it’s eight minutes.

How the whole series is going to work

Free, next week, no membership required to watch it.

Here’s the model going forward, and it’s worth laying out plainly because it’s not the usual free-teaser-then-paywall setup. Some videos in some series stay free permanently, ad-supported, the way most of the internet already works. That’s not a bait tactic, it’s a real tier. But the full library, every series, every course, the deep stuff that actually gets into tooling and lab work and doesn’t translate to a blog post, that’s for members only.

And when I say full library I mean it. The goal here isn’t “a few videos about pentesting.” It’s the entire catalog: cybersecurity, networking, the whole stack, built out properly over time instead of thrown together in a weekend. Best cybersecurity and networking course library in the universe is a big claim and I’m aware of that, but that’s the actual target, not marketing copy someone told me to write.

Why membership is the obvious move here

If you’re the kind of reader who watches one free ad-supported video and calls it done, that’s a completely fine way to use this site and nobody’s going to guilt you about it.

But if you’re actually trying to learn this field, or you’re already deep in it and want the advanced material without wading through ad breaks, paying a few dollars a month for unrestricted access to the entire course library is not a hard decision. It’s less than a coffee. It funds videos that take real hours to record, edit, and keep updated when a tool changes its flags. At that price, against that scope, membership isn’t really a choice so much as a formality.

What comes after

Foundations first, then progressively deeper material, series by series. Members get everything as it releases, free-tier viewers get the ad-supported selections as those go up. Exact cadence gets confirmed once the first video’s out and I can see how the format actually lands.

Next week. Watch the free one, and see for yourself whether the rest is worth the few dollars.
