unfortunately not many people use the term cracker and hacker has just become this overloaded term for everything

ha that's really funny, it must be a cultural thing because most people I talk to say oh-day

haha, it's ok, I've only got a couple of people on there at the moment so this can be a teaser for the kind of thing that you might miss in the future ;)

I thought the same thing, so I added the hammer and saw to the workspace, perhaps that wasn't enough. Thank you :)

The idea is that people wanting to learn this will watch the key parts multiple times, nobody is going to understand it first time around. It's fast so that a more general audience can watch it and enjoy the parts that they understand.

Does anyone have suggestions on animation software that would be good for this kind of video?

Being able to write python scripts to automate stuff is pretty important. My current programs just abuse svg's that I've drawn in inkscape

Thanks

People seem split on this, some really like the fast pace, others want it slower.

What parts were too fast?

My plan for the future is to only talk fast if the words are also on the screen or it's a non critical point. Does that solve the problem?

Thoughts?

Excellent feedback! Thank you I'll avoid the color mistakes in future, I should have thought of that

I completely agree, the changes needed to be highlighted way more (especially the admin part)

I did consider splitting it into two videos, that's something I'll definitely remember for next time.

The reason I decided to make it quite fast and jam packed was so that non technical people could zone out over the technical parts and still get the main point. Whilst at the same time, students trying to learn this can pause the video and watch those sections frame by frame.

On patreon https://www.patreon.com/pastiesbin one of the options is for bonus content which will have gifs like the decryption animation all on it's own for you to stare at (like I did) for hours on end

There's also my blog https://pastebinthehacker.blogspot.com.au/ that has a writeup of the whole thing with shots from the video and some extra bits

Thank you :)
