recording. All right, recording just started. Yes, I see, I see Rosin's comment of the chat, the full chapter dedicated to one person. Amazing. Yeah, it's, it's amazing. But, but, you know, what the Holy Spirit is highlighting for us Abraham's life, the life of Abraham, pointing us to him as the father of faith. So, we pick up here in verse 17, Romans 4, Romans 4, 17. God had spoken, God pronounced his promise to Abraham, just as God would speak. You know, we want to personalize this, want to see how it applies to us. This is God would speak his promise into our hearts. And when God speaks his promise into our hearts, keep these two things in mind, that we are believing the one, or he's inviting us to believe in him, the one who gives life to the debt. That means that this debt is no problem to God. Again, we are speaking metaphorically here, although even literally that there's no problem to God. But we are speaking also metaphorically in the sense that regardless of the situation or the circumstance that may look so bleak, so hopeless and helpless, it's not a problem to God. That's one thing you must keep in mind when God gives us promise. The second thing here in verse 17, it says that God calls things that do not exist as though they did. It means it's not there, but God says it's there. We haven't become, but God says I have made you. So you look at yourself and say God, I still haven't become that. But God is saying I have made you. So we may look at ourselves and we say God I'm weak. God says I have made you strong. He's calling what doesn't exist as though it did. God, I'm not a conqueror. God says I've made you more than a conqueror. He's calling things that doesn't exist as though it did. You are more than a conqueror.  We see it and we say Lord, I don't think I can become that. I have not yet become that. But God says I've made you that. So as far as God is concerned, He says I've made you and you and I look at ourselves and say God, I haven't become. God says I've made you that. I've made you the father of many nations. He says God, I don't even have one child. I haven't even become a father. God says I've made you a father. So God calls things that do not exist as though they did. One of the things we can learn from Abraham's life is and we are familiar with Genesis 17 where God comes to Abraham and says, you know, says Abraham, I want you to start calling yourself what I have made you. That means from today your name is changed from Abraham to Abraham. Your wife's name is changed from Sarai to Sarah. Start calling yourself what I have made you. So I have not yet become that. God says I have made you. So what must we do? Start declaring that over our lives. That's true. You call yourself that. So Abraham changes his name to Abraham, father of many nations. Sarai means princely. Sarah means mother of many princes. So change the name. Start calling yourself what God has made you. So in the spiritual realm, it's done. God has made you. Start calling yourself that. So when God gives us a promise, remember these two things. God gives life to the dead. God calls things that do not exist as though they were. So when he calls and he speaks this promise to your life, he's calling something into existence that doesn't exist. He says, look, that's what I made you. It's not there, but it'll be there. And we join together in faith with God. So how did Abraham journey into that? I have made you a father of many nations. That was what God spoke. How did Abraham journey into becoming that verse 18? First of all, we see the Holy Spirit telling us, look, this is what Abraham did. Contrary to hope, in hope believed. So that he became the father of many nations according to what was spoken. So shall your descendants be. So first thing Abraham did. Against all hope, in hope, he believed. In other words, when there was no reason for him to have hope, he had hope and he just didn't have hope. He believed. Now, there's this, there's hope is important, but hope and believing are not the same things. Hope is having a, hope is having a desire for something, but hope is out in the future. I will become, it's there, but believing is now. Faith is now. I believe it settled in my heart. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. That means I'm hoping for something. Sorry, but my faith is the substance of that.  Yeah, it's a physical thing. I can, it's substance. So faith is the reality, the substance of what I'm hoping for. Hope is out in the future. It's not, I can't see it, but my faith is a substance of it. My faith is saying, look, I got it. It's yeah, where? In my heart. So my faith is a reality. It's a substance of what I hope for. So against all hope, when there was no reason that Abraham could have such hope, he believed. Now, the word faith and believe come from the same root word. So it's, we could use it interchangeably. Abraham believed, Abraham had faith. So that's the first thing. And God speaks a word in our lives. Even if there is no reason to have hope, we must believe against all hope he believed. And that's how he became the father of many nations. So first step in the steps of Abraham's faith. And there's no reason to have hope.  Second thing we see here, verse 19, it says, and being not, not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body already dead since he was about a hundred years old and the deadness of Sarah's womb. So second thing is this, he did not let his faith be weakened by considering the natural. So the natural was there. You can't deny it. His body was a hundred years old. Sarah, her body also was, you know, old and she was better. That's natural because of facts. Yet it says here that he didn't let his faith weaken by focusing on the natural, by considering. He did not consider. He did not take into account. He didn't focus on this. So it teaches us a secret here. If we focus on the natural, our faith tends to get weakened. But we can prevent our faith from being weakened by not focusing on the natural, but focus on the promise of God.  So I've not had a son yet. So, you know, is it okay? Somebody else is born in my family. That's the person you're going to work through. You know, so he's having one of those low points. And so what's happening there? He's considering the natural. You know, he must be thinking, God, I'm old right now. You know, you gave him the promise to me when I was 75. That's pretty old. I'm 19 now, already even older. And you know, you must have been considering all the circumstances. So he's really down in his faith. What does God do? Because Abraham come outside your tent, come out. He comes out. And it's, this is, this is at night. So God says, Abraham look up in the sky. And Abraham looks up and he sees all the stars. And God says, can he count the stars? No.  So what God did in that whole process or the conversation is, he helped Abraham take his eyes off the natural and helped him put his eyes on the promise of God. And that's what verse 19 is, is, you know, it's telling us he didn't let his faith weaken by considering, you know, what was there in the natural. So that's a lesson for us. If you feel like your faith is being weakened, check out what you're considering. You're, you're focusing, is it focusing on the natural or is it focusing on the promise? And very likely the reason we have been weakened in our faith is because we've been just focusing on the natural. I'm not saying don't recognize the natural. Yeah, you know, Abraham, sure he knew that he was old, Sarah was old. And that's a fact. You're not denying it. But we have the promise of God. So then verse 20, he did not wave at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God. So he did not let unbelief come in. And so we always have a choice. I have the promise of God and I have the option to not believe that's unbelief. So it says he didn't wave at the promise of God. So what is focused on the promise of God and say no to unbelief. So that's what we must do. And he was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God. So he was giving praise to God, glory, praise in this context. He was giving praise to God, praising God, and that helped strengthen his faith. And so we praise him. Thank him. So the scriptures don't record this for us, but I can just imagine based on this part of verse 20. Abraham also said, Father, I praise you that you have made me a father of many nations. Father, I thank you that the seed you promised is mine, that the seed you promised, Sarah and me, is ours. That you are faithful to keep your promise. Thank you, God. I praise you in advance for the son that will be born to us in this household. And thank you in advance, Lord, that I will have descendants as numerous as the stars and the sky and sand and the sea shore. So I can just imagine, because the Bible is saying he was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God. What is giving glory to God, giving praise to God, glorifying God. So as he's glorifying God, he's being strengthened in faith. So I can just imagine how he would have done it. He may not have used the same words, but essentially he was glorifying God. This was all done before the promise actually happened. So this is his steps of faith. This is his journey of faith. He was strengthened in his faith, giving glory to God, and then verse 21, and being fully convinced that what he had promised, he was able also to perform. So he came to this place of fully convinced faith. We call it mature faith, perfect faith, fully convinced, meaning nothing's going to shake me now. I'm in this place where I'm 100% convinced Abraham came to that place of being fully convinced of the promise of God, that what God had promised, he'll perform. So nothing's going to shake me.  Against all hope, he believed. Then he didn't let his faith weaken by looking at the natural, or we could put it like this. He let his faith being strengthened by looking at the promise. Then verse 20, he did not let unbelief cause them to waver on the promise. So unbelief would have come knocking many times. I want to come in. I want to come in. Sorry, I'm focusing on the promise. I'm not wavering on the promise. Then he was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God. So he glorified God, he praised God, which enabled him to become strong in faith. And he came to this place where he was fully convinced of what God had promised, he'll perform. So these verses here till verse 21, it's a beautiful verse 17, 21. It's a beautiful summary of how Abraham journeyed in faith. One of the key things he did, and the Holy Spirit is summarizing this for us. So it is something that you and I can follow, that you and I can go back to and remind ourselves, this is how I am to walk in faith. This is how I'm going to come to this place of mature, perfect faith. And then it says, verse 23 on verse 23 to 25. Now it was not written just for his sake, but for us also. So all of this, the story of Abraham, it's not just for him, it's for us also. Because even God is giving us righteousness through faith. And then it points us to Jesus. It is Jesus who's been raised up. And verse 25 is very interesting. He was delivered up because of our offenses. That means he was crucified for our sins. You know, so because of our wrongdoing, he was crucified and was raised because of our justification. That means when God said, I'm declaring people justified, everyone believes in Jesus, I'm declaring them justified. He was raised up. Okay, notice that he was raised because of our justification. Or he was raised because we had been justified. That means the resurrection of Jesus is, I'm going to use the right word here, is a pronouncement of our justification. He was raised because of our justification. Or the resurrection of Jesus is attesting to the fact that we have been justified. That means with the resurrection of Christ, the case is closed. We have been acquitted. We have been declared not guilty. So you can imagine, you know, in a court, there's a criminal there. He's the one who's done all the wrong. There are charges brought against him. And then this the court, you know, whatever the sentence is, okay, you have to maybe let's example, you can just use money as an example. The judge as well, you have to pay 50,000 because of whatever the wrong you've done. Somebody walks in with a receipt that says 50,000 paid for this person. The judge has no option but to say you are now free. Case is closed. Because the charges were against you against the criminal. He had to pay 50,000. But 50,000 is paid. So the only thing the judge can do is ban his case dismissed. Person is free. So that's what he's saying here, was 25. He was raised up when that was done. So when we were pronounced free, Christ's Resurrections took place. Or we could say Christ's Resurrection is the announcement of our justification. It was raised because of our justification. Or when we were justified, it was all done. So that means the resurrection is an announcement of our justification. No more, you know, having to worry about charges being leveled against us, because Christ has been raised from the dead. Okay. So having spoken about faith, Abraham's faith, he's now changing his attention to Jesus. And he's changing the focus to what Christ did in order to justify us. And then from chapter five onwards, the focus is on Christ, what he did, the grace of God, and righteousness by faith. So he's putting all this together in the person of Christ. Faith, righteousness, grace in the light of what Jesus Christ has done for us. That's in chapter five. Okay. So we'll get started with chapter five. I'm sure we are not going to be able to finish it today, but we will just get started with chapter five. Let's read. Okay, let me pause here. Any questions so far on Romans four before we get started with chapter five? Any questions? Any thoughts? So you've understood, you know, what Paul has been teaching here about faith and righteousness and pointing to Abraham as our example of faith. Any questions? Okay. So he's now focused, changed the focus to Christ. Okay. Start of the Abraham, righteousness by faith, Abraham's walk of faith. Now he's said, okay, we receive righteousness by faith, but that righteousness by faith or justification by faith is possible because Christ was delivered for our offenses and raised up for our justification. So righteousness by faith is possible because of Jesus. Now that's focused. Now he's going focusing on Jesus, righteousness, faith, grace. Okay. That's the focus. Let's go to chapter five. Let's read verses one through five. Please, somebody could read that for us. Romans chapter five verses one through five. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through all our Jesus Christ through whom we have gained access by faith into this place in which we now stand. And we rejoice in hope of the glory of God, not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character and character of hope. And hope does not disappoint us because God has brought out his love into us by holy spirit whom he has given us. Thank you. Thank you. So we've been justified by faith verse chapter five verse one. So this is the main conclusion. We have been justified by faith justified by faith. That's what he's been showing. You know, just remember the word justification and righteousness. They come from the same word, same Greek word. So they mean the same thing to be justified means to be made righteous. They mean the same thing. It means you're faultless. You have been made just as if you never sinned. So he says we have been justified by faith. So what does it mean to be justified by faith or what are the outcomes of being justified by faith? He says there in verse one of chapter five. So we've been justified by faith. So what do we have now? We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have peace with God. We are at one with God, atonement at one. We have peace with God. That means I'm not in a, you know, in a, in a fighting mode with God. No, you and I are at peace with God. We have friends with God. We have a good relationship with God because we've been justified by faith. Now, I know sometimes we use the phrase, you know, I'm wrestling with God and we use it to talk about prayer. But I think, you know, we're using it to say that, look, I'm really engaging with God intensely. But even when we are quote unquote wrestling with God, remember, you actually have peace with God.  No, that phrase wrestling with God, you know, in prayer, people use that. You're engaging with God intensely, but on the basis of this peace you have with God, this close friendship that you have with God. Okay. So never think in your mind that God is against you.  No, no, no, no. The Bible says we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Worse too, through whom also that is through Jesus. We have access. That means we have come into this place by faith into this grace in which we stand. So second thing, we have come into a place of grace in which we stand. That means that's where we are right now. To be justified by faith means we have peace with God. We have a good relationship with God. Second, it means we're in a place of grace before God. What does it mean a place of grace? It means we're in a place where God favors us. He favors us. And this has happened by faith, by faith. We've come into this place of grace. I remember to be justified, to be made righteous simply means God has given to us what he has. This is something we have. It's really heavy. It's really understanding. God has given to you what he has. His righteousness has been put on you. To make it very plain, you are as righteous as God himself, not because of your own doing, but because he gave his righteousness to you. And that's the only way you and I could be in his presence.  So he's just so happy that you're around him. And he qualified you and me to be around him. Outside of that, we have no way to get into the presence of God. So imagine yourself. You are in the presence of God. You're in God's company. And you could be completely relaxed. Why? Because he made you fit to be in his presence by giving you his righteousness.  You're in this place of grace and we access to that or we came into that by faith. So we have peace with God. We are in place of grace where we are highly feared of God. God is looking to say, Hey, I'm just so glad you're with me today. You're with me. And he's looking at you with favor, with grace. And therefore Paul continues in verse two, we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. So we have peace with God. We are in a place of grace and we're in a place of rejoicing. So what do you mean? We are rejoicing because we are hoping that when you're looking forward to the glory of God, the good things that God has planned for us, which he's going to release upon us, the glory that he has kept for us, of course there are things that we already enjoy. We're already in, we have peace with God. We already are in a place of grace, but there is more that God has kept for us. And so we are rejoicing in hope of that as well. So we have plenty to rejoice right now for what we already have. We have peace with God. We have the grace of God, but we're also rejoicing for what is coming up in hope of the glory of God. And because of that, he says verse three, and we can glory in tribulations. I mean, you know, when we go through hard times, we can still glory. We can still be happy. We glory in tribulation. We glory in tribulation. So when things are tough, things are difficult, we, you know, we are, you know, we are not down, depressed, dejected. No, we glory in tribulations because we understand this. What do we understand? Knowing. So knowing is a very important thing. That means we need to know this. Knowing verse three, that tribulation develops endurance and endurance verse four develops character and character increases hope. So think about this. You're going through hard times and you can glory in those difficult difficulties because you and I understand going through those difficulties is developing endurance, our ability to stay the course. And as we stay the course, our character is being developed. Who we are as people is becoming better. And then characters develop, we become people of hope. That means we can look at the positive side of things, even though we're going through difficult tribulations. So hope really, the ability to look at the positive side of things, hope is an expression of you being a person of strong character. That means you are a person who has been tried, approved. So even in difficult situations, you can still have hope. So we go through that sequence again. We glory in tribulations because tribulation develops endurance. As we continue with endurance, it develops our character. And through that, as we become stronger in our character, we become stronger we increase in hope, even in difficult situations. It says hope and we know that this hope that we have will not be disappointed. That means we will not be disappointed. This hope will become substance. Verse five, and he says, because right now the love of God is poured into our hearts. We are experiencing the love of God. So it's two ways. The context is, in tribulation, I am ultimately a person full of hope because God's love is in my heart. I experienced the love of God. Keep this thought about the love of God in your mind because later on, he's going to come back to it in Romans 8 and says, who can separate us from the love of God? Same context. Can nakedness or sore or famine or distress or persecution, what can separate us from the love of God? But he has already told us, hey, the love of God is poured into our hearts. And we are people who have an experiential, you know, we have an experience of the love of God. We have received God's love in our hearts. We know we are loved by God. The love of God is poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit was been given to us. So by the Holy Spirit, we know the love of God. We experience the love of God. And because of that love, we know Romans 8, we are more than conquerors through anything we go through. God will bring us out victorious because nothing can separate us from the love of God, love that God has for us in Christ. That love, which tells us nothing can separate us from God. That love is poured into our hearts and also means Romans 5-5, that we are not able to love others with that same love. Because if the love is poured into my heart, not only do I experience that love, but I'm able to turn around and say, hey, if God so loved me, I could love somebody else. To the measure that I experience the love of God, to that measure I can extend the love of God. So if I have, I'm really, wow, my God loves me so much. What will I do? I will extend that same love to somebody else. Say, I love you. If God could love me so much, in spite of my faults and my weaknesses, I will love you. So we are able to, that same love that's poured into our hearts, which we experience personally, which makes us more than conquerors in difficult situations, which gives us the conviction that nothing can separate us from God's love, that same love we extend to other people. And hopefully they will also feel the same thing, that they are more than conquerors because of the support of our love, that they are, that nothing will separate them from the support of love that we extend to them, and they will also feel the same thing. But all of this has been possible by being justified by faith. So verses one to five, just to recap, they've been justified by faith. So we are peace with God, we are in a place of grace, and we are full of joy, because of all the good, the hope we have. How do we come to that place of hope? He says, well, you see, we can rejoice in tribulation, difficulties, because we know that, we know this, the difficulties is only making, giving us the ability to endure, and endurance develops a character, and character makes us full of hope. And this hope will never be disappointed, because right now, we know the love of God, we know the love of God. And love of God has made us such people of hope. Okay? Any questions? Everyone's clear? Okay. So Romans chapter five till verse five. Okay. So maybe I think we will stop here. It was fine. And then we will get it to the next part. So having spoken to us about what being justified by faith has done for us or makes possible for us, he now goes into talking about Christ, the fact that he died for us, to make us justified. And then he contrasts Christ and Adam. And it's very interesting, because he says, actually, the logic is very simple. Adam sinned. And because of that, all this happened to us. Christ came, he died and rose again. And because of him, all this came to us. So, you know, so in this chapter in Romans five, the remaining part of this chapter, he says, look, through Adam, all this has come upon us. But through Christ, all this has come upon us. And he says, this is who we are, whether it is what we have received through Christ, that's what we have. That's what we should live by. Okay. Adam brought all this upon us. But Christ came. He literally reversed everything that came upon us through Adam. That's what he brings out in the rest of Romans chapter five. We will pause here. We'll pray and close. We'll pick up from verse six, or next class. I've given you the full notes for Romans five as well. So if you want to read it, you know, just have a look ahead. That's fine. And we'll continue this next class. Okay. Let's wrap up in prayer. Just in any one of us could just pray and we'll wrap things up. We want to pray. Thomas, do you want to pray? We'll pray first. Okay, go ahead. Father and Jesus, we thank you, Daddy. We praise you. We bless your holy name. Thank you for the revelations from the book of Romans, Father. Thank you for justified by through faith. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Dad. By faith we are creditors. We are righteous. Thank you, Dad, for paid the price on the cross of Canvary through your Son, Jesus Christ. As we understanding this, Father, nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. Father, we thank you for your mercy and grace. We love you. We praise you, Father. Let the teachings, our bids, and us. Let we pass on to the next generation and the people who are listening to us, Daddy. We thank you for this wonderful time. We love you. We praise you. We give you glory and honor in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. All right. Thank you, everyone. Thank you for being part of the class. We'll have a quick break and we will head to the next class. Thank you, everyone. God bless. See you again.


Okay, einen großen Applaus für Alok und er möchte uns heute was über Social Engineering erzählen und warum einfaches Lügen uns nirgendwo hinbringt. Das heißt, keine Q&A heute, aber ihr könnt mich später auf der F-Axis-Talk machen.  Und der Punkt ist, Social Engineering ist eine the same Engineering as everything else. Who am I? I'm OldTacker, being here in CCC since a while, looking like this. And as I said, we have several people really getting off their self, doing some Social Engineering, thinking, yeah, when I lie to a God, I'm a Social Engineer, I'm getting in there, and I can talk in all kinds of fancy conferences and I get all audience and I'm really good guy and telling you all kinds of stories with little cameras and going in. And I saw a laptop, I stole this laptop, so I'm a Social Engineer because I got in and out. But actually, that is not what it's about. There's a slide I stole from Chris, actually I've photo-ed it and put it in my slides. And there we have some dictionary things, what says, what is Social and what is Engineering. So Social, this is actually something we have here a lot. Socializing with people, being together. Engineering for me is a process which you strictly can describe as an art, as a science, and it is repeatable. If you do engineering and you can't repeat it, this is not engineering. There's a nice example if you want to find out if somebody thinks like an engineer or if somebody thinks more like every average.  A regular person would say, well, I'll see the pen, I pick the pen up and I have a pen. An engineer would say, well, my optical sensor sees a pen. The input is processed and I got an order to my grapping tool. So I go down, the physical sensor proves the pen is really there. So I give the order to close that and go back. So this is the engineering side. Okay, I didn't go in deep. I always have to run back to this thing. To do social engineering engagements, you need a skill set. And the skill sets I would divide in a physical, a logical. And we need to have a customer preparation, because otherwise we might end up giving the customer not what he needs. It is very important that you first look at your customer need before you're looking to get your money. Physical things, I explain this stuff later in the slides, but we have physical things like lock picking, stuff like this. We have the logical things like the NLP stuff. The customer must understand we have several things when we do attacks. We have a theoretical models of attack. We need to find out what is this business. Because that's really an important thing. A lot of people don't know really what their business is. We have people with a bright idea. A bright person has a bright idea and he opens a business. And since the idea has bright, the business grows and becomes bigger. So since it became bigger, he needs people to assist him. He gets himself a secretary and a salesman. The secretary and the salesman have bright ideas and these ideas influence the business. So the business grows ahead because he has a bright idea, as I said. And it grows and grows and grows and so he becomes a limited. So with the limited, while growing, he needed an executive board. So he has a CIO, a CFO, a COO, whatsoever. They have bright ideas. These bright ideas go back into this business. They might grow ahead.  Now shareholders don't have bright ideas, but they won't have money. So that goes into the business. While asking this guy who first started this business what's your business about, he will tell you your bright idea and tells the story since 50 years. But the problem is the shareholder don't see it this way and maybe the business already grew out of this stage and maybe the business grew already in another business. Look at Apple, for an example. Apple started out as a little computer company with the bright idea to build a cheap computer which everybody can have. Right now an Apple product in 90% is not a cheap computer what everybody can have, but a smartphone. So this business model changed a bit. We find software right now. So the business model changed a bit. It's not the original model. So what you need to take, you need to help your customer find what is this business, what are really the assets. But we're going on that later. And last but not least, the contract. Before you go in an engagement, do a good contract. The Americans say, good friends make good neighbors. In Germany we say, good friends make good contracts. Let's go into the physical and psychological skillchats. You want to do an SE attack. You should have a good understanding of craftsmanship.  That's really good because we have a power failure today. All right? You should know what you're talking about.  And they don't call the tool the same way like you see in the workbook. But maybe they call it like they every day call that. And they say, can you hand me this over? And you stand there, what? All right? The good thing is if you do social engineering engagements and you have to go into companies, you have to find out what companies most of the time need. In my experience, the most needed person in a company is the guy who fixed the copy machine. So if you want to fix copy machines, you actually should have worked in a shop for half a year or something to get the experience how to fix a copy machine, otherwise you look quite fake. I had a few examples here of what you could do. But those are the examples. It depends on your business model, what your type of clients are. Lockpicking is a good thing. If you have an engagement, a physical engagement, let's say you go really in for recon or you go really in to steal the asset, you should know a bit of lockpicking. You don't need to be a lockpicking hero like the guys outside. But it should be good enough to open a little lock from a locker room so you maybe can wear the same clothes like the other people in the company. Stuff like this. Especially when you have a company what uses on shifts and you can find out in your recon, which shift is on. In hostile environments, I suppose it's not a bad thing, it's a bit of physical security. We're not talking about hostile environments, even being here behind enemy lines. A good rhetoric helps when you want to hack a brain. You should understand the person you approach. Sure enough, you should have a good understanding of the psychology of people. NLP right now is something what you can't miss if you really want to go into Engagements and large scale.  So let's go to this NLP thing that everybody is talking about. NLP, new hype word, I can heal you in 20 seconds with NLP stuff. Actually, that was founded in the 70s from these three great person. What is David Gordon, Bandler und Granger. And they used the methods of some therapists who worked with people who had certain disabilities. And they found out that we have certain patterns to help people with different disabilities and this pattern matched. So they sat together, first they met in like a little rooms, apartments, and they sat together and they came up with the name Neuro-Languist programming, where the N is for your CPU in your brain, what sure enough, do some processing over there. The L goes for your IO for both, input and output, and the programming, well, if you don't know programming, who does? And actually in NLP, what you do is you model a person take this model and use the model to help another person. So what is modeling? David said once, modeling is the process of creating useful maps of experience. People like abilities more, but experience including abilities. In this process, you want to find out how your brain operates, what it says. Actually, we can put this down a bit more in an example and we use this example from this book, the drawing of the right side of the brain from Betty Edwards, and there's a story, what Mr. Gordon used to tell all the time, is about therapists. Let's first go, why Betty wrote this book here. Actually this book got written because she was an art teacher in a university in wherever states, and she found out that some of her students are really learned to draw really, really good. And some of their students just didn't write, can come up with drawing. So she wondered, what is the difference? Well, it's really bothered her that some people just can't learn drawing while she's teaching in the same way like teach everybody else. So she actually worked out questioning for her students, what we would now call a modeling, the same questions to both types of people, the one who can draw really good and the one who can't draw really good. And then she wrote the book out of this, what she modeled there. And we had this little example of a person who works with children who has a learning disability.   And those kids are totally sure they cannot learn. So these kids draw a stove whatsoever and it looks like when a kid draws.  So children draw, like children draw but she talks to these kids for about 10, 15 minutes and tell them to look right at what they want to draw and tell them how to do it and what comes out are pictures like this, what I took from a website what Meredith yesterday Sie haben mir gesagt, das ist eine gute Seite, um zu erklären, was ich darüber sage. Hier ist dieses kleine Kind, ich denke, er hat nur Referenz ausgenommen. Was ihr wissen müsstet, ist, ich habe dieses Open-Office-Liber-Office-Bullshit-Fing aufgebaut, weil ich oft Linnex-Geräusche benutze.  Aber ich wollte nicht Guter-Mann hier. Ich möchte dir zuerst was sagen, oder soll ich einfach meine Jammer aufnehmen?  Das ist ein wirklich schlechtes Ding, dass es jetzt hier ist. Da ist ein kleines Kind, ich denke, ihr Name war Tara, und sie war 8 Jahre alt.  So, das war ihre erste Attempte da oben.  Dann war ihre Lehrer für eine Weile zu sprechen.   So kann NLP wirklich was tun.  Ist es ein NLP Workshop? Nein, es ist Social Engineering. Jetzt sagt ihr, warum Modeling? I mean, Modeling, Practical, you can problems and add abilities. Adding abilities for Social Engineering is something what you really want to do. Then we have sure evolutionary things and the spiritual side, what we not go deep into that. There is an experimental array, what usually going to be used, you not really need to read through all this, because it's really not an NLP Workshop. This NLP array was drawn again, the letters are missing by Mr. David Gordon, and he got a copyright on that thing. Oh man, I really have to work hard to not be on Gutenberg here. And it actually shows what the enabling causes is, the motivation causes, and you have to actually ask the right questions to find out all these causes, what you see here, which belief template people have, which strategies to use, which emotions to use, so that we can actually in the end of the day have the same ability like the person. So that has something to do with asking the right question to a person who's doing something really good. If you want to copy something, what is really good, you have to ask the right questions. From that going to what we're using, our central processing units here, our little neck top on our heads, our heads, a little neck top, and to see what's going on, and seeing we have keywords, we have states, and we have actually attributes, we have first to understand how this little neck top works. And our neck top works this way that we actually can process, okay, this one in a trillion teraflops on my side after the ph party, or actually the final party, there's no processing on my brain no more, but usually you should have like 100, what is this, 100 billion, no trillion teraflops. Your sensors receive this 10,000 bit per second, but the problem is you only process 40 of them. So that makes making up your world. So the way I see you, like the guy sleeping over there, is not the same way he sees himself right now in Dreamland. And that makes up, if you look in the mirror, you don't see the same person what I see when I look at you.  If you want, I can put the slides online. So we need to use this in an engagement. So we're going now more direction engagement. When we talk to people, we really need to listen for keywords while talking to these persons. And we have several keywords as you see here, we have stress, freedom, love and so on and so on. And we need to find again, it was made in, it's now PowerPoint, it was made in Libra Office, so they got little problems with the adjustment of the letters. We have to find out what's your internal state, what means, what do you think in which state you are. Like, I'm standing here thinking I'm awake, but I sure have, I can't be awake after these three days. And this is versus all against what your totally right state is, what I will see when I look this on video later on. Probably going to be totally disappointed about myself that I'm not the hero, I think I am. And you have to pay attention to the micro expressions people do. Every time when you talk to somebody, people do micro expressions about, except a few guys who are sleeping here, they do a micro expression. You have to understand these difference between the states. And you see this difference between the words, when they use the words, like here we have the difference between he feels like he is really doing this and that, or he has done it. That's a difference between an attribute and a state. The thing is, if you want to learn all these stuff and use this for an engagement, you should first use yourself as an example. So, you should try to generate a state. So you try to get yourself into a state by self-suggestions, before you go and play with others. You can actually use the words, what people actually telling you to convert them into a state, when you use the wise words in the right term. But this is not a pickup guide here, but a social engineering talk. So you should not forget, you have several millions of these messages you get in by your sensors. You cannot really process more than seven, more or less, one, two, one at a time. So you have an overwhelming income on information, and you store a lot of this income on information, of this information you just gathered. The problem is, you cannot process them. Your necktop is quite good, but the memory readouts, we should really work on our stack. That's not really good working. So, the question is, what is this cold reading I'm talking about, with the micro expression and all this stuff. Well, when you come first enter a room, there's the saying, there is no second chance for the first impression. And that's what it is. You approach the guard, and your first impression is, well, this person sitting here is dressed in a God's uniform. His nails are clean. His teeth are brushed. He don't smell like cigarettes. He's very proper in state. You approach him and say, sir, how can I help you, sir? And you know this man is well trained, know his business.  So we have several things where you should take a look when you approach a person. The uniform type he wears is his casual. This is a military uniform. This is a doctor's uniform. Which cloth does he have on? Which type of body he has? Is he more like a geek? Or is this a sportsman?  Is this a woman? Big, tall whatsoever? Gender, age? I wouldn't approach a young woman the same way like an old man. Definitely not. So, ethnical, and this is not about racism. It's about histories. So people would react different to different words if they have different ethnics. So you should put this in your engagement. The manners and discipline, as I said, is a well trained person. Is he pretending to be a high class person? Is he an high class person? Do you expect him to do what he says doing? Or do you know? It's like I'm working in a company and we work a lot with people from Bosnia, actually in Bosnia. And I got the experience, when you tell the person in Bosnia, please, would you do me a favor, do that? The person says, sure, no problem. As long as you look at him. And when you turn around and be in your plane back at home, you find out it's haven't been done. So yes, you have to take a look at this, a manner and discipline. Markings. Markings could be tattoos, piercing, scars. All kinds of markings. The smell. Don't underestimate what you can find out by smell. Somebody smells heavy for cigarettes and yellow teeth. So I know he needs to get out for a next cigarette soon. And probably not there when I need it. Hands. Be sure you can't tell a fighter by his hands. Always look at hands. If you're going in an engagement physical, you should not underestimate what can happen.  Hey, I'm here because you asked me to. So hands is something what you could look at and the interaction with you. Does it take notice when you walk in? May not. There's a guy, Dr. Friesen, and I have to read this because I usually, yeah, a thousand. There are a thousand unical expressions, but I think more or less you're using of the thousand probably really proper a lot reading out 128.  So instantly, when I put your hand on a hot stove, you will react in your face. Not even thinking about it. So that's where they made up these things and looked it up and had big studies about it and found out there is something what we call micro expressions. Micro expressions, you know, from when somebody lifts his eyebrow, when you say something, stuff like this, and there's even a TV series called I Am Me. I'm not really sure because I don't own a TV. I'm a poor guy. And there are some charts actually showing what I'm talking about. These expressions are very important when you approach somebody to social engineering. Yes, I know social engineering is not just this, but we got deeper in that later on. So you see different, different expressions like disgust, fear, sadness, surprise, and so on. And you see, the most where you see things is actually in the eyes and the eyebrows and the mouth. This way you get the most expressions out. Okay, before I approach my client, I first do this investment and know who I am approaching. So this is an investment from what cost me probably one week. I know most guys who are really in pentesting, a week is expensive, but this week is very well spent money. There's one, my most favorite friend, his name is Google, and he got the brother's LinkedIn. Those two guys are so cool. You just ask anything and you know the co-workers, the former co-workers, the next co-workers to come, and who is the admin, the who whatsoever. So those two guys, Google and LinkedIn, can tell you a lot. Facebook too. And Facebook is even better because Facebook, you don't need even a browser. You do this by script. These information is what you will find out. You should use actually in your first approach to the customer because you have now, you know the customer better than the customer knows you. For an instance, you get into the customer and he say, yeah, I'm scared about APT. And you say, well, APT, nothing to be scared about. This is just a word for Chinese attacks. It doesn't matter how cheap the SSL script is. Well, this guy is calling you in because he got the fear. He would not spend this heaps of money on a pentest when he wouldn't fear that something get lost, right? If the person fears that his business probably get problems and he gets himself a pentesting team, you could probably use this by the first approach when you talk to him. Hey, Mr. So and So, how is your daughter doing? Is she back good? Is her health back again? So he sees that you know your business. You come in and you talk to somebody and the person already see that you did interact with him before you saw him. Another important thing is the physical recon. Oh, I did a little hook in there again. Every time I look through the slides, this little hook is gone by physical recon. And every time I have the slides on, it's back on. Isn't that funny? Yeah. The physical recon is that you see or you go in, you jump in into your engagement's place, wherever the customer has it. If it's a facility where they build stuff or if it's whatsoever, a shop, a high tower. And you look at this facility. You look for things like cameras. You look for things like alarm systems. You check out backups types of alarm systems. You check out which type of guards do they have. Do they have guards like get overpaid, like most of the guards with six euro an hour? We have a little thing like if in Germany, we got some CIA type of thing and they have guards. They call themselves BND. What's intelligence service. And they have well overpaid guards. They get almost, I think, six euros an hour. And I think you really can buy yourself in. I mean, some of these guys have to get welfare because the state, the country, the government try to be cheap. The problem is the welfare is paid for by the government too. But well. And they had to get stolen some of their little drawings, how their buildings looks like, but nothing important. You should check for video surveillance. Definitely if this is a video surveillance that follows you or it's just a regular video surveillance, if it's intrarat, how does it work? Do you have tripplates whatsoever? And you should check for security systems at all. Dogs are security systems too. And they can really hurt. Then you meet the client and now you really need your NLP because the whole story, what I told you about the first time when he opened his business until your entry point is, you need to evaluate the story. And then you need the relations to his customers and the relations to his vendors. Why is this so important? Because we have a business like the car business. Is anybody here working in the car business? You all smart people. The car business is like this. We have an OEM vendor. This is the car maker. Call them dollar random car maker. And we have our vendor. This is let's say producer, glass producer, fabric producer, X, Y. Z.  You want to sell him. And you say, okay, when you want to sell me, what you ever want to sell me, you're going to buy your stuff there on this vendor, where you're going to buy because we trust this vendor for this price. You see this? You have to buy a vendor, that's Magna. You have to go to Magna and buy by Magna for the price, what your customer tells you. A few days later, your customer said, ah, it's too expensive for myself. And goes to Magna, negotiates a new price and you get from your customer the new price and have to pay the old price. So car business is not really what you want to be in. But these are relationships you need to find out. But because these relationships make decisions, people in the car business will be very, very, very orientated on saving money because of that. And this is what you need to find and this is what you need to see in your recon. You need to find out which assets you got. Finding out assets, you can do first and most by talking to the middle management because those are the people running the company. The middle management is running the company. So you need to associate with them and you really need to talk with them. You really need to engineer them because those are the people who know what's going in and out and those are people who really know what the asset is. For an instant, there's this talk from Nickerson, again him. Five ways to destruct a company. Anyone knows this truck? Five ways to destroy a company, Brookhorn, last year, do you know it? Actually Nickerson got boot out on it because people felt us too offending but he made a clear point. He was talking about a company, what is a hospital? Well, we are all people and we have feelings and say oh hospital, you can't attack a hospital. What if I ask a hospital, what is your asset? The answer would be yes, customer data is an asset, a very important asset. Credit card information is the most important asset. No, the most important asset you have in a hospital is the life of your customer.  No, so this is an asset what you should protect more than other assets and that's what you find out in a threat modeling. Threat modeling, we had a really nice talk in Berlin since from the famous Stift, who was really into that. And the threat modeling, you actually find out where are the vulnerabilities? Does the vulnerability hurt? Is the stuff what you can hurt users? Does the stuff hurt the business? And that's what for us as an attacker is the most important point, finding out when does it hurt the business because we have to protect our customer. So we need to do a threat modeling before we go into our engagement. Sure, there are several models of the threat modeling. I'm not really going deep into that because that's not a threat modeling talk, but you should have seen that we really should use this as an engineering background for our social engineering attack, what we later launched. And those are the stride model. I know now people say, oh yeah, but what do you think about the other models and the Microsoft and CIA? Yes, sure, we have the threat model and to upset some people, we even have an attack tree. I know attack trees are not really used no more, but I hear from a company who has really a well thought out attack tree and they're instantly being noticed. When some systems are compromised, how much does it cost to fix, how much does it cost not to fix and all these kinds of stuff. So an attack tree is not the worst thing you can have. Now we go to the assessment. What do you need? Why does the social engineer to go to the assessment? What's that about? Well, you need to be with the assessment because you did the recon, because you talked to the people, because you are the one who has the plan where to walk, because you know where the assets are. So the first thing before the assessment is you have to work out in storyboard. The storyboard includes the backup plan, sure enough. I know I wrote it extra, but this is for certain people, I know that they really appreciate that I put this in. You put together a team. Now thinking about an assessment. We found out we have a client and his asset, he is probably a software vendor.  So I need to take him and my team but if I have a person like FX, who knows FX? That's not a lot for this big room. If I have a person like FX in the team, one need to know he's not the best sportsman in the world. Well, I would think that if your plan, your landing zone somehow involves climbing and running FX, probably should have somebody who carries him. So you should have in your team probably two strong men. The next thing what you need is your landing zone, the insert point. And the insert point is not the infiltration point. The insert point could be the main hall of a high tower. The insert point could be the backyard of whatever you are attacking. Let's say it's the main hall from a high tower. That's the insert point. So your team gathers there, right? With a Proxima tree, you already have the badges prepared and you go now one by one by one in and meet at the rally point and wait there if somebody has made an active compromise. So you stay in the rally point, check your plans, check back if everything works fine, check the equipment before you start your assessment. Okay, nobody found you. You are not compromised. You can go ahead with your business. You go out and the hideout maybe is not used in every assessment, but we should mention it. Let's say we have a company with shifts or let's say what's even better. We have a company with no shifts. So let's see, we already know by social engineering that the administration group leaves building at 7 p.m. And through our recon we know the fastest response from an administrator could be within 25 minutes. We know more through the social media that the lead admin who really got the knowledge goes to his most favorite pub directly after he was training after work. So he goes from work to training what's more unlikely when it's a real admin. One from them, from there he goes to his most favorite pub and he has a few beers. A few more, sometimes even what gamate.  Now you can estimate the time if you get compromised what you have for extraction. The next thing is you have to do the infiltration because the insertion is not the infiltration. Infiltration is directly when you bring your engineer to the server room. When you use the stolen fingerprint or when you use your copied entry card your stolen punch and code whatsoever to get in the server room. When you use your little Mac light to make sure that the camera didn't see you while you go in. And trust me all these IP cameras have times where you just blank out. Once a while you just be blank so the guard really wouldn't notice if this is just a short time when you blank it out. If you have tripwires, that's a different story. And that's the time what you actually do your direct infiltration into the server room. Then you have to find and fetch the data, use your exploit, however you're going to do that. And then you have to exfiltrate data. All these points will be named later in the slides. After, if you exfiltrate the data, there are several ways to exfiltrate them, you are good. And there is a difference in between exfiltration and extraction. As long as you exfiltrate, that's very good because you're an asset. As soon as you be extracted, you are liability. So there is a difference between it. And this difference makes if you have an active passive compromise or not. If you're being compromised, you have to do it again or your customer wins. Sure enough, you have to have a backup plan, as I said before. And then there's something what bloggers know, writing. But they don't know it this way because this is useful writing. Yes, this is a writing report. Every one of us should really understand one thing. Your long hair, big glasses, thinny guy, writing, I got root on your shell. I found the exploit 1187. And the top manager say, yeah? So, that's not a way to talk to management. If you want to talk to management, you say, I found this and this compromise in your machine, which cost you yearly this amount on dollars. Brings you this business in danger. I found this exploit. This cost you that amount of money. Don't really bring your business in danger. You tell them how much it costs.  If it's fixed. And you tell them what it costs if you don't fix it. That is how to talk to management. There's one thing what we should know.  If we are nosy enough as an industry to say, oh, they should learn what Nessos just printed out.  We need to talk the language of our customer because he pays us. That's the point. And that's why it's so important to write a good, proper report.  Right? Then we do another business impact analysis with the customer together to say, see, you thought that's your business. My recon actually found out your business something total different. And if that and that happens and APT comes over the way, well, this is the impact. You need to do more than one customer meeting, not your money and go. You should have a good relationship with your customer. I once had a talk in Brucon where I talked about an incident response. And I say, if you have a forensic in your company, it's good.  But if something happens, you have a team, you worked with for years. They know your assets. They know what they can talk about to police and they know what to hide because this is your business data is what nobody should know. If you just get a forensic or a team, a red team, the day when you need them, it's too late. You have to have a relationship. And this relationship most of the time not comes from the CIO, CSO, because they don't have the funding. They have to come from you. You have to convince. So you have to do more customer meetings than one. And most important, train the customer. What did he say?  If you set him on fire, he's warm for the rest of his life. You have to train these people. I have always in my agreements, when I did Red Team, I said, if I find anything mistakes by your employees, if it's not on purpose made, you're not allowed to fire them, but to train them. Because if you fire them, you get a new one doing the same mistake. If you have a guard, you trained him well and you told him that it was a big mistake. It cost me heaps of dollars. But while I train you and now you know better, he will appreciate that you didn't fire him. And there's one thing, what you really need in your company, what you can't buy with money, is loyalty. So training is an important thing. Let's go a bit to infiltration. Which type of infiltrations we have? We have the physical infiltration. What is the tailgating? What today and nowadays shouldn't work really good. And we have the logical by piggy-bagging. We have stealing fingerprints during RFID-Skimmers. And those skimmers are really good. I like them. You can copy entry batches with the Proxmark for an sample. You have cast key skimmers. That is important for recon. You can drop a key, at least put a sticker on it, what says 32 gig and above. Because no one gonna care for 8 gig stick. Oh, es ist schieb. You can pick locks to get in. Even nowadays, the new electronic locks, you're picking more of a skimmer, I know. You can enter as an vendor and as a client. Here are some examples that I don't make that up by myself. Yes, these tools exist. Here we have this USB key. Oops. Does it go back? Yes. We have this USB key. And please do not tell me that one person, not even one person in your company, wouldn't pick up this cute guy. There's a little story. There's this group, they call French police.  He plucked the key out, put it in a computer from work, and boom, they had it. It's sad that Stuxnet was laying around on a USB key for a while, but I can't prove that. Well, this is the Proxmark 3 disassembled. So you see on this little coin here how small it is, and that is assembled for the self-built antenna. It's my lockpick set. And up here, we have this car skimmers. And on the CDs, we have already the calculation codes from all brands, vendors from cars. So don't really change the key every time I hit the button. Here, but the patterns are known.  What do I would steal a car? No, I don't steal. I'm a social engineer. I'm not capable to steal, but I can put a GPS sensor on it and I see how far the admin has to drive to work. I'll stow every morning. Very good. Yes, don't working. Finding fetching data, except the bloggers of us, everybody knows that stuff. We're going to the printer. In the printer are hard drives, and the hard drives, all the data are stored. But please do not get the printer from the marketing unit.  You can spearfisch. And spearfishing isn't an attack, a social engineering attack, but you cannot avoid. If somebody in your company says, I'm sending you tomorrow a presentation for the bus and you should look after it. And then the next day, you're sending me the presentation, you will open it. No doubt about it. It's an internal mail. Yeah, we have this buffer overflow, so it's hacker stuff. It's not for really nobody hacks here. We have Key Lager. We can steal keys with Lobcrack. What they'll get back from Symantec, so it's not evil no more. And then we can exfiltrate, or have to exfiltrate the data. We can use USB stick. We can put a print out in a trash, but now you need to know, if you print out something, and it says business name, business unit, number.  What you do is, you see the text, print it out in base 64, and then put it in the trash. Everybody now thinks, oh, that's just misprinted, and forget about it. Sure enough, you can take pictures. That's the oldest way to exfiltrate. Use a GSM, what you just put somewhere, and go to data's over that.  Well, he got a really nice way to exfiltrate. They put this on noise, and then they put this on their answering machine, and decode it. You have to see his talk, it's really good. And there's another thing with noise, there's this talk from, what was his name again? Sage, do you know the name from the guy, who actually recorded the noise from a CPU, while decoding a text? It doesn't matter, the slides are up later, and you have to go to this website, there's a really nice article about that. Let's go to Active Compromise. What is an Active Compromise? An Active Compromise is when the dog bites you in the butt, I would say. An Active Compromise is when your alarm system sounds. So, what can you do? You can cut the alarm system's landline and use a GSM blocker to make sure the backup line don't work. We don't use GSM blockers here, sure enough. Video Surveillance is an Active Compromise. Every one of you know what an Active Compromise is at latest when the police is at your house and rates your computers, right?  A passive compromise is you are in the hired out, somebody walks by and goes ahead. So, now, did he see you? Or didn't he see you? You don't know, so it's a passive compromise.  That's the head to just change the password. Did they find you? What is it? So, it's a passive compromise. It's a no, not no. Actually, it's a not no, no. Not no, no. It's a passive compromise. And you have a machine network, it's kicked out, you get the message, right? Oh, well, I make it before time because I want to go back to FX. Don't worry about the five minutes. Yeah, actually, that was more or less an overview of what you should be capable of doing as a social engineer because you are the one who leads the team in.  You are the one who did the physical recon through the hall. You should be the one who is capable to tell the assets because you are the one who engineered the people.


what's the word y'all welcome back please ignore my hair some of y'all noticed that first day of getting a retwist your hair is crispy but a little bit too crispy that's the state I am right now now we about to do something rare I try my best to um diversify and just just talk about different things from day to day but the last time we talked we talked about clay day then we talked about the grizzly so I gotta circle back and talk about the grizzly because well they're on the 10 game win streak and they just beat the Warriors and this team is so electric and so so very fun I want to look at all the wins they got on the season and listen to the quality wins they got they beat the Warriors twice I'm pretty sure they're the only team in the league they can say that I saw stat that said coming into this game John Morant was four and four against the Warriors in his short NBA career now he's five and four against the Warriors so he's got two wins against the Warriors this season they beat the Nets the Sons the Heat in the Jazz those are six of the most elite teams in the entire NBA and the Grizzlies have wins on them and now they got a lot of people tweeting asking are the Grizzlies the real deal will you put the Grizzlies in title contender I don't really know but a couple days ago somebody asked me on Twitter um or I guess on these videos Kenny who was your favorite young court to watch in the NBA and the first name that came to mind was was the Cavs and I stuck by that you know what I'm saying because in my mind the Grizzlies didn't even come they didn't come to mind because they seem so much older than what they are John Morant's rookie season they were half game away from making a playoffs and it basically came down to the final day of the NBA they needed to win they gotta win the Trebleys needs to lose with the Trebleys one so boom they were in the outside looking in then the sophomore season they ended up um in the play in they end up winning the play in tournament they go against the Jazz in the first round and take game one so in my mind they were older than what they are so I looked at today's game and you know I'm already seeing people on Twitter say ah it's like it's okay win but Draymond Green wasn't there yeah yeah listen bro we're in 2022 in a pandemic everybody at all 30 teams are missing players if we were adding asterisks by every win this season there's nothing to talk about in the NBA so sure Draymond Green was out but Stephen Adams was out it doesn't matter let's just talk about the wins at face value okay so I went to go look at their rotation today and there was only one player that was playing today that is older than I am I am 25 years old Cal Anderson was the only guy that got PT today for the Grizzlies that is older than I am so if I did my math right which I probably did because I have dyslexia numbers of heart uh the average age of their rotation tonight was 23 and a half and I was like you know what how does that compare to the the entire NBA their roster right now is tied for the second youngest roster in the entire NBA and like I said they're on a 10 game win streak beating the Warriors two times the Warriors early in the season remember people were talking about could they beat their own record of 73 and 9 they have 10 losses on the year two of those it's a drama red and the myth is Grizzlies the second youngest team in the entire NBA they are tied at least when it comes to the game backstandings with the Utah Jazz who are in a three game went losing streak because Rudy Gaubert is a healthy state of protocol and they can't stop anybody they're giving up 120 plus points per game with Rudy Gaubert being out now and one of those losses against the Detroit Pistons and when Rudy Gaubert plays they only give up like 103 yeah yeah that's propaganda for Rudy Gaubert you know he does that on this channel it's here but I just want to talk about the Grizzlies because they have done their rebuilds it was so I mean they're still in the rebuild phase I said that their second youngest team in the NBA but they were doing their rebuilds so fast and so nice it should be the model for the smaller market teams now one thing you cannot control is whether or not you're lucky and the Memphis Grizzlies became very very lucky the year that they got JAMA rent in the 2019 NBA draft y'all know when I do these Rambo videos I very rarely have notes but I have notes today y'all I literally have notes so you know I'm invested in this so the 2019 the NBA decided to flatten the lottery odds meaning that they were trying to combat tanking before then if you were the worst team in the NBA record wise you had a 25% chance to get the first overall pick the NBA was like wow we got too many teams trying to bottom out the Charlotte Hornets tried to bottom out and got 25% chance to get Anthony Davis ended up Michael Carter Williams the 76ers during a process was bottom out every single season so the NBA was like ah we can't have that nobody's watching those teams so let's let's flatten the odds so now I think it's like the top three or the bottom three teams have close to equal odds to get the first overall pick so in the 2019 NBA draft the Memphis Grizzlies headed only a 6.3 chance to jump up into the oh to get the second overall pick and they got that now again there's a ton of luck in getting JAMA RENT on your team actually Zion and JAMA RENT both were like super lucky picks you know the Pelicans weren't the worst team in the league the year that they got uh uh well Anthony Davis was there but they they got Zion so that was like hmm could that have been rigged the NBA trying to convince people not to tank anymore by giving the first and second pick the teams that weren't tanking I don't know conspiracy Kenny is here but no uh 6.3 percent chance to get the second overall pick they did that and now it's about hmm what do we do now we drafted this dude out of a mid-major who looked really good in the tourney he was dominating what do we do now to build the perfect team around here and they did some pretty good things I mean even before JAMA RENT got there they they gave um they told the world like hey if you come to Memphis and you have a good career for us we're gonna set you up man they traded Marcus all the way to the Toronto Raptors and boom he won a championship was it the best deal for them maybe it was maybe it wasn't but they sent him to a team where he can get the best out of himself and that was getting the championship and then after they ended up with JAMA RENT they sent there one of their other best guys in franchise history Mike Holly to another team to compete for a championship and he's still doing that but he's on a better team he's on a better team I mean right now they're tied in the game's back column is he on a better team I don't really know but they've done that and then they've done things around the edges the Jaren Jackson Jr pick has been great and I'm in love with the way Jaren Jackson Jr has played during this streak especially when Stephen Adams is out him as the five has looked amazing I'm especially doing this him at the five has looked so good and I think I talked about this in the last one that they were they've been afraid to let Jaren Jackson Jr run the five exclusively because of the way they bang at the five position can we trust him not to foul out of games he's been so very good at the five this season it's been so impressive because that was the development I've been waiting on I mean I guess he was drafted in just 2018 but I've been waiting on that because him as a stretch five would open up the game so much more for the team and for Jamarant if they had shooters all around and right now they got that um the some of the other very underrated trades they've done since getting Jamarant they got the Anthony Melton for Javon Carter that is a W and the biggest one is trading for Desmond Bain 30th overall pick huge I mean yes you can't really control whether or not you're a lucky team but these smaller markets need to really be looking at what the Memphis Drizzlies have done and looking at that as a little blueprint little blueprint you gotta make the right trades and the right sign it's like the Cal Anderson signing they offered him a contract there's a little bit too rich for the Spurs blood but was good enough of a team friendly contract for them Tyus Jones who was one of the biggest X factors today very good contract to get for him they've made the right moves on the edges and when you already have the inside which is Jamarant and Jeron Jackson Jr everything else is falling into place so are they a contender right now I don't have the answer to that question we won't know but at the end of the day they're the most electric team to watch the NBA right now Jamarant is must-see TV and the Memphis Grizzlies are fun even when they were really good we're talking Gritten Grind era I don't know of many kids that Gritten Grind was like when I was high school right was that high school for me anyway I don't know kids that was walking around in Grizzlies jerseys bro and I went to a suburban high school dog's kids was wearing NBA jerseys daily bros they they call y'all some of y'all are collecting NBA jerseys nobody was rocking the Mike Connelly Mark Gasol Zebo Tony yeah well Tony Allen may have got some love in Chicago um but I know people are walking around in Jamarant jerseys I went to a Bulls Pacers game December 26th and a Jamarant jersey was in the crowd what the hell are you wearing that's how electric the bros impacted the whole Midwest is Memphis Midwest I'm gonna he is he's impacting the whole Midwest they got people in Chicago rocking the jersey so it's just super fun um will this streak last forever is the next question possibly possibly all right let's talk about some of the other games of the day because though this was a big day for the Memphis Grizzlies there are a lot of good games today man starting off with the first game of the day the Thunder against the Wizards this game where there was no Bradley Beal because I guess he's back in Hilt the Safety Protocol which is very weird I don't I'm not a virus person the medicine person scientist but he had entered Hilt the Safety Protocol he had got out got his shot and then went back in all within like two weeks I don't that's gotta be like some of the rarest thing maybe it's not I don't really know but he's not there so it's like okay this opens the game up for somebody else and it's been cool's cool's has been on a extreme hot streak right now and I made a tweet about Kuzma today and people thought it's misinterpreted it but it's twitter I guess you can't really get the full grasp if you had to explain every tweet though I will not be on twitter if you had to use your 150 characters to really flesh listen I said something along the lines of like every time Kuzma shoots the ball I expect it to miss but it goes in I can understand how you can interpret that a damn Kenny a hater but no it's the exact opposite I'm admiring his tough shot making there's a place specifically in this fourth quarter where he did like a spin move and like the the elbow and instead of like doing a full form jump shot he just like floated it on a spin move and it like Cassie and I'm like bro that was a super tough shot and that was the reason why I made my tweet so it was like me admiring his tough shot making um but I will say he kind of sold me today because I took the overall prize picks on his rebounds because he's been a rebound machine in all season but he was like no I just want to exclusively score um and he he did they got they got a big time win I guess there was a fight in the locker row between KCP and Montrez Harold um I wonder how that stuff works like who okay so the story goes um Montrez and Catevis cargo pope got into it and then they before anybody could get into the locker room it was basically over they they both threw like punches and they both missed if it was just them two I don't know how you both throw punches and miss you don't really want to hit the guy um and my my question with stuff like this comes out is who is the snitch that called Shums in Chicago or all the sources like hey you want to know some crazy I know we won today but KCP and trans bro them bros they was throwing punches and who is who is the guy that's letting all this information get out because it happened it happens all across the league or maybe it doesn't maybe this happens way more often than we think but it only seeps out every once in a while I mean it's been happening I mean that's like two big locker room altercations so far this season but maybe there's been more we don't even know about either way a win for the watch the wizards um I know it was against a okc team that's struggling um but still you got to count your wins where you can get them shaggers alexander gets out of that slump he had been in and that's always a good thing I didn't like on the last possession they were down by four with like seven eight seconds and instead of trying to get something quick or shoot a three they wasted a timeout and then shot a three at the buzzer so even if he went in there was no next game we could talk about is the suns versus the wraps I forgot that the suns are still below 10 losses the only team that hasn't hit double-digit losses that's kind of wild when you really think about it they went to skosia bank arena and they got a win against the raptors but hey scotty bars simply look we can add an asterisk by every single guy I promise you we could add an asterisk by every single game um but the suns deal what they had to do Chris Paul late in the game what do you think if he had a big touchdown what do you think that shot came from yep the mid-range elbow he does that um the most fun thing about this or funny thing about this is Devin Booker getting mad at their the mascot when he's used to shooting free throws in front of 20,000 fans he's a skosia bank arena in Canada where there's no fans but he got upset with the one bystander who happened to be doing stuff it's a funny thing uh pascal shakam had a good game but I mentioned in the last episode pascal shakam is in his best or in his bag the most when he can hit his threes and today he did not hit his threes in the end of blues in this game um next game the bulls when a large one a big margin of victory against the pistons don't have much to say I'm glad they just took care of business because we have bigger games later this um this week the Warriors and the Nets and though this was a great defensive game today against a bad team I'm a little bit worried about those games bulls fans I'm keeping a buck with you our defense has not looked great I think they showed it on the broadcast in this nine game streak that we just was on that was broken up by the um Dallas Mavericks the other day the bulls hit the 22nd defense in the league that's not good they had the number one offense but the 22nd even says not good fellas let's hopefully we clamp up against the Warriors and the the Brooklyn Nets because we we want to see those wins um and then the next game tiny dog came through he had this is this is the pelicans almost blowing a game and then need a Brandon Ingram to get them out of that because I had turned this game off because they were up at like six or seven like a minute ago and I know it's the NBA anything to happen but I wasn't really invested in the first place and then um the it got started a little bit closer and closer at one point it was like a one point I'm like bro I should tune back in I guess Anthony Edwards went overdrive um and tiny dog I had turned it off he had hit a uh and one three and I was like you know what that's enough that's the dagger that's all he needed and one three he came back hit another three and they hit the game winners were shout out to Brandon Ingram with a 33 nine the four Brandon Ingram is for the most part of very emotionless person so when he hits a game winner and he shows emotion I'm super excited for him um I know the pelicans you know a good win for them because they're telling the world that they're still going for a playing spot because they believe Zion can come back and like Zion is about as far away from New World as you could be right now they said bro is training up in what Portland that's about as far as you could get from New Orleans without leaving the country is he gonna come back to see is that I don't even know you know what with the grizzies playing so well they got people on Twitter talking about Zion right now because now when people are redrafting that draft 2019 would you take jaw right now over Zion I think 90% 97% of people probably say yeah we're taking jaw not much injury history in his um in his bag right now when Zion kind of a lot kind of a lot and then the last game of the day the reason why I'm recording this at 145 is because I stayed up to watch the Clippers versus the Nuggets why did I torture myself and this game where I think the the Clippers let me go ahead they had like 30 points in the first half um they had a comeback though so I'm glad I did stay up there was no real takeaways they had 28 points at halftime the Clippers did and they won the game they had 28 points at halftime and they won the game Reggie Jackson it's a big time shot the blood show showed up in the fourth quarter and I heard one of my favorite calls of this season um it was a mere coffee hit a shot at the top of the key and whoever's calling the calls I'm sorry I don't know every commentator in the league's name they said um caffeine supremacy or some supreme caffeine supreme caffeine because his name is coffee and people are saying it on my um under my tweet that I guess they have a bunch of coffee puns when a mere coffee does something great so I got to start listening to the Clippers broadcast or watching Clippers more because I mentioned last episode they be having either a super late night game or the first game of the day at noon and then you know what they'll open my eyes a little bit because somebody was in the conversation say Kenny um the game is not for you it's for the european fans you're absolutely right but why are we subjecting the european fans to exclusively clippers games exclusively the clippers games we just try to turn them I don't really know um let me know what you think in the conversation today slay the games uh the jama ran the Memphis Grizzlies I just got an update and I hope it's nothing bad it was from shams or something and I think I saw the name jama rant so I'm gonna I'm gonna improvise real quick before I look this up because what if they said something bad I don't really know I don't I don't want to publish this video without knowing nope the last tweet from shams had to do with the fight between kcp so if that wasn't him it had to be woe which woe gsp and says jama ran has felt like the grizzlies haven't been given their due respect in the past I okay yeah and I like that they hate eggy I love it I love that the city don't like eggy that's a plus for me honestly not saying that I don't like eggy actually I do like eggy but the fact that they found a common enemy in andrew goudala out of all people I respect
