    #617: This Is How NVIDIA's AI Mercedes Drives in Real Traffic

    What happens when NVIDIA's AI drives a Mercedes-Benz CLA through Berlin traffic? David Bombal rides along to see how Alpamayo and the Halos safety stack work together. At GTC Berlin, I ride in a Mercedes-Benz CLA running a development version of NVIDIA's Alpamayo driving software. We encounter cyclists, pedestrians, narrow roads, unusual junctions, parked cars and unpredictable drivers while the car handles much of the driving under human supervision. We look at what is actually happening behind the scenes: an end-to-end AI model proposes a driving path, a separate classical safety stack checks the environment and rules, and a trajectory arbiter decides when to allow the plan or fall back. The car uses on-board NVIDIA DRIVE Orin computing, cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors. We also discuss training with US and European driving data, simulation with NVIDIA Cosmos, the difference between this development vehicle and NVIDIA's downloadable Alpamayo research models, and what it takes to adapt the system to different vehicles and countries. In this video: • A live AI-assisted drive through busy Berlin streets • How Alpamayo and the classical Halos safety stack work together • Why narrow roads, cyclists and German traffic lights are difficult cases • The cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors and DRIVE Orin hardware • How real-world data and Cosmos simulation help train and test driving models • Which Alpamayo research models you can explore yourself Important: this demonstration is a supervised Level 2 driver-assistance system. The person in the driver's seat remains attentive and responsible; this is not an unsupervised robotaxi. Would you trust AI-assisted driving in a busy city? Which situation would you want it to handle first? NVIDIA Alpamayo: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/solution... NVIDIA Halos: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/ai-trust...

    #616: How Police Can Track Your Phone

    Big thanks to ThreatLocker for sponsoring my trip to Black Hat USA 2026 and also for sponsoring this video. To start your free trial with ThreatLocker please use the following link: https://www.threatlocker.com/davidbombal Your phone can be tricked into connecting to a fake cell tower. These devices are commonly known as Stingrays, cell-site simulators or IMSI catchers. They can be used to identify and locate phones in an area, and some attacks can interfere with the security of your cellular connection. At Black Hat and DEF CON, I spoke to Cooper Quintin, Senior Staff Technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), about Rayhunter. Rayhunter is an open-source project from the EFF designed to detect suspicious cellular activity using inexpensive mobile hotspot hardware. In this interview, Cooper explains how Stingrays and IMSI catchers work, why your phone can connect to a fake cell tower, what an IMSI is, how cellular downgrade attacks work, what a null cipher is, how Rayhunter detects suspicious activity, and what the EFF has learned from real-world deployments. We also get into mobile forensic extraction, phone searches at the border, biometrics vs PINs and passwords, and the bigger question of how much surveillance power governments and law enforcement should have.

    #614: Learn Malware Analysis with Ghidra and x64dbg (for free)

    Want to learn how to reverse engineer malware? Lindsay Kaye joins me to demonstrate malware analysis using Ghidra and x64dbg, two free tools you can use to develop your skills. Lindsay is the author of Dissecting the Dark Web. In this interview, we take apart a data theft tool used by LockBit affiliates and examine BlackMatter ransomware. You’ll see how malware detects a debugger, hides strings, and loads functions at runtime. We also run ransomware in a lab VM to show what happens to the victim’s files. We discuss: • How ransomware gangs steal data before encrypting it • How static and dynamic analysis work together • Finding malware indicators in Sysmon logs • Why ransomware can print physical ransom notes • How reputation and trust work in criminal forums • How to start reverse engineering by compiling your own C programs and examining them in Ghidra If you have some programming knowledge and want to understand how malware works, this is a practical look at the skills involved. // Sponsored SEGMENT // Big thank you to Proton Pass for sponsoring this video.

    Big thank you to DeleteMe for sponsoring this video. Use my link join https://joindeleteme.com/Bombal or use the QR code in the video to get 20% off. How private are the apps you use every day? I sit down with Thorin Klosowski from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) to discuss online privacy, secure messaging, VPNs and the data we share with AI tools. We look at Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram, discuss privacy tradeoffs across Windows, Linux, Android and iPhone, and ask what you should assume about email and cloud storage. Thorin also walks through EFF’s free Surveillance Self-Defense guides to help you create a security plan and decide what to focus on first. If you work in cybersecurity, or you simply want to help your family protect their privacy, this conversation gives you a starting point without assuming everyone needs the same tools. In this interview: Why “I have nothing to hide” misses the point How to think about passwords, two-factor authentication and security planning Why messaging defaults and privacy settings matter What a VPN can and cannot do for your privacy AI features, cloud storage and questions to ask about your data Phone and computer privacy tradeoffs, email and encryption Which privacy setting or app are you going to review first? Let me know in the comments, and subscribe for more cybersecurity and privacy conversations. // Thorin Klosowski’s SOCIALS // Website: https://www.eff.org/about/staff/thori...

    #611: Building AI Agents? Set Up These Guardrails First

    Big thanks to ‪@Cisco‬ & ‪@Splunkofficial‬ for sponsoring my trip to .Conf 2026 and also for sponsoring this video. AI agents can do things you never intended. So how do you monitor their behavior, spot security problems and decide what they should be allowed to do? I’m joined by Splunk’s Kamal Hathi at .conf26 to discuss AI agent security, observability and what an agentic SOC means for the people working in cybersecurity. Kamal explains why setting a goal isn’t enough. You need visibility into what your agents are actually doing, clear guardrails and human oversight for important decisions. We also discuss why monitoring only a sample of agent activity can leave gaps, and how focused small language models could help reduce evaluation costs. In this interview, we cover: • Known agents, unregistered agents and unexpected behavior • AI evaluations, guardrails and zero trust • Automating SOC alert triage while keeping humans in control • Using AI to create SOAR playbooks • Running models locally for privacy, cost and control • Choosing between local models and cloud models • Whether you should still study computer science in 2027 If you’re building AI agents, working in cybersecurity or deciding what to learn next, this conversation will give you plenty to think about. // Kamal Hathi’s’ SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / kamal-hathi // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...
