The Hindu Yogi Science of Breath. Yogi Ramacharaka. How to acquire the Yogi Complete Breath. The Yogi Complete Breath is the fundamental breath of the entire Yogi Science of Breath, and the student must fully acquaint himself with it, and master it perfectly before he can hope to obtain results from the other forms of breath mentioned and given in this book. He should not be content with half learning it, but should go to work in earnest until it becomes his natural method of breathing. This will require work, time, and patience. But without these things nothing is ever accomplished. There is no royal road to the Science of Breath, and the student must be prepared to practice and study in earnest if he expects to receive results. The results obtained by a complete mastery of the Science of Breath are great, and no one who has attained them would willingly go back to the old methods. And he will tell his friends that he considers himself amply repaid for all his work. We say these things now, that you may fully understand the necessity and importance of mastering this fundamental method of Yogi Breathing, instead of passing it by and trying some of the attractive looking variations given later on in this book. Again we say to you, start right, and right results will follow, but neglect your foundations and your entire building will topple over, sooner or later. Perhaps the better way to teach you how to develop the Yogi Complete Breath would be to give you simple directions regarding the breath itself, and then follow up with the same general remarks concerning it, and then later on giving exercises for developing the chest muscles and lungs which have been allowed to remain in an undeveloped condition by imperfect methods of breathing. Right here we wish to say that this complete breath is not a forced or abnormal thing, but on the contrary, is a going back to first principles, a return to nature, the healthy adult savage and the healthy infant of civilization both breathe in this manner, but civilized man has adopted unnatural methods of living, clothing, etc., and has lost his birthright. And we wish to remind the reader that the complete breath does not necessarily call for the complete filling of the lungs at every inhalation. One may inhale the average amount of air, using the complete breathing method and distributing the air inhaled be the quantity large or small to all parts of the lungs. But one should inhale a series of full, complete breaths several times a day whenever opportunity offers in order to keep the system in good order and condition. The following simple exercise will give you a clear idea of what the complete breath is. One, stand or sit erect, breathing through the nostrils, inhale steadily, first filling the lower part of the lungs, which is accomplished by bringing into play the diaphragm, which descending exerts a gentle pressure on the abdominal organs, pushing forward the front walls of the abdomen. Then fill the middle part of the lungs, pushing out the lower ribs, breastbone and chest. Then fill the higher portion of the lungs, protruding the upper chest, thus lifting the chest, including the upper six or seven pairs of ribs. In the final movement the lower part of the abdomen will be slightly drawn in, which movement gives the lungs a support and also helps to fill the highest part of the lungs. At first reading it may appear that this breath consists of three distinct movements. This however is not the correct idea. The inhalation is continuous, the entire chest cavity from the lower diaphragm to the highest point of the chest in the region of the collarbone being expanded with a uniform movement. Avoid a jerky series of inhalations and strive to attain a steady continuous action. Practice will soon overcome the tendency to divide the inhalation into three movements and will result in a uniform continuous breath. You will be able to complete the inhalation in a couple of seconds after a little practice. Two, retain the breath for a few seconds. Three, exhale quite slowly, holding the chest in a firm position and having the abdomen in a little and lifting it upward slowly as the air leaves the lungs. When the air is entirely exhaled, relax the chest and abdomen. The little practice will render this part of the exercise easy and the movement once acquired will be afterwards performed almost automatically. It will be seen that by this method of breathing all parts of the respiratory apparatus is brought into action and all parts of the lungs including the most remote air cells are exercised. The chest cavity is expanded in all directions. You will also notice that the complete breath is really a combination of low mid and high breaths succeeding each other rapidly in the order given in such a manner as to form one uniform continuous complete breath. You will find it quite a help to you if you will practice this breath before a large mirror placing the hands lightly over the abdomen so that you may feel the movements. At the end of the inhalation it is well to occasionally slightly elevate the shoulders thus raising the collarbone and allowing the air to pass freely into the small upper lobe of the right lung which places sometimes the breathing place of tuberculosis. At the beginning of practice you may have more or less trouble in acquiring the complete breath but a little practice will make perfect. And when you have once acquired it you will never willingly return to the old methods. End of section 25. Section 26 of A to Z. This is a LibriVox recording.

Somebody someday will make a study of the influence of animals on history. Although not as famous as Mrs. O'Leary's cow, Mrs. Graham's cat should certainly be included in any such study. It has now been definitely established that the experiences of this cat led to the idea of quick frozen people which in turn led to the passage of Zaritsky's law. We must go back to the files of the Los Angeles newspapers for 1950 to find the story. In brief a Mrs. Fred C. Graham missed her pet cat on the same day that she put a good deal of food down in her home deep freeze unit. She suspected no connection between the two events. The cat was not found until six days later when its owner went to fetch something from the deep freeze. Much as she loved her pet we may imagine that she was more horror than grief-stricken at her discovery. She lifted the little iced-in-case body out of the deep freeze and set it on the floor. Then she managed to run as far as the next door neighbor's house before fainting. Mrs. Graham became hysterical after she was revived, and it was several hours before she could be quieted enough to persuade anybody that she hadn't made up the whole thing. She prevailed upon her neighbor to go back to the house with her.  The neighbor subsequently told reporters that the cat was concentrating its licking on one of its hind legs, where some ice still remained, so that she for one believed the story. A follow-up dispatch published a week later reported that the cat was unharmed by the adventure. Further Mrs. Graham was quoted as saying that the cat had a large meal just before its disappearance, that as soon after its rescue as it had dried itself off it took a long nap precisely as it always did after a meal, and that it was not hungry again until evening. It was clear from the accounts that the life processes had been stopped dead in their tracks and had after defrosting returned at exactly the point where they left off. Perhaps it is unfair to put all the responsibility on one luckless cat. Had such a thing happened anywhere else in the country it would have been talked about, believed by a few, disbelieved by most, and forgotten. But as the historic kick of Mrs. O'Leary's cow achieved significance because of the time and place that it was delivered, so the falling of Mrs. Graham's cat into the deep freeze became significant because it occurred in Los Angeles. There and probably only there the event was anything but forgotten. The principles it revealed became the basis of a highly successful business. How shall we regard the Zeritsky brothers? As archvillains or pioneers? In the support of the latter view it must be admitted that the spirit of inquiry and the willingness to risk the unknown were indisputably theirs. However their pioneering, if we agree to call it that, was equally indisputably bound up with the quest for a fast buck. Some of their first clients paid as high as $15,000 for the initial freezing and the exorbitant rate of $1,000 per year as a storage charge. The Zeritsky brothers owned and managed one of the largest quick freezing plants in the world, and it was their claim that converting the freezing equipment in storage facilities to accommodate humans was extremely expensive, hence the high rates. When the early clients who paid these rates were defrosted years later and found other clients receiving the same services for as little as $3,000, they threatened a row and the Zeritsky's made substantial refunds. By that time they could easily afford it, and since any publicity about their enterprise was unwelcome to them, all refunds were made without a whimper. $3,000 became the standard rate with $100 per year the storage charge and no charge for defrosting. The Zeritsky's were businessmen first and last. Anyone who had the fee could put himself away for whatever period of time he wished, and no questions asked. The ironclad rule that full payment must be made in advance was broken only once as far as the records show. A certain young man had a very wealthy uncle residing in Milwaukee, whose heir he was, but the uncle was not getting along in years fast enough. The young man, then 18 years old, did not wish to waste the best years of his life as a poor boy. He wanted the money while he was young, but his uncle was as healthy as he was wealthy. The Zeritsky's were the obvious answer to his problem. The agreement between them has been preserved. They undertook to service the youth without advance payment. They further undertook to watch the Milwaukee papers until the demise of the uncle should be reported, whereupon they would defrost the boy. In exchange for this, the youth thinking, of course, that money would be no object when he came out, agreed to pay double. The uncle lived 17 years longer, during which time he seems to have forgotten his nephew and to have become deeply interested in a mystic society to which he left his entire fortune. The Zeritsky's duly defrosted the boy, and whether they or he were the more disappointed is impossible to imagine. They never forgot the lesson and never made another exception to their rule. He, poor fellow, spent the rest of his life including the best years paying off the debt which at 3000 plus 17 years at $100 per year and the whole doubled amounted to $9400. The books record his low but regular payments over the next 43 years, and indicate that he had only $250 left to pay when he died. We may think, I assume, that various underworld characters who were grateful ex-clients of the Zeritsky's were instrumental in persuading the boy to keep up his payments. Criminals were the first to apply for quick freezing and formed the mainstay of Zeritsky's business through the years. What more easy than to rob, hide the loot, except for that all-important advance payment, present yourself to the Zeritsky's and remain in their admirable chambers for five or ten years, emerge to find the hue and cry long since died down and the crime forgotten. Recover your hall and live out your life in luxury. To the shady character of most of their patrons, the Zeritsky's kept all records by a system of numbers. Names never appeared on the books and anonymity was guaranteed. Law enforcement agents, looking for fugitives from justice, found no way to break down this system, nor any law which they could interpret as making it illegal to quick freeze. Perhaps the truth is that they did not search too diligently for a law that could be made to apply. As long as the Zeritsky's kept things quiet and did not advertise or attract public attention, they could safely continue their bizarre business. City officials of Los Angeles, and particularly members of the police force, enjoyed a period of unparalleled prosperity. Lawyers and other experts who thought they were on the track of illegal means, by which to liquidate the Zeritsky Empire, found themselves suddenly able to buy a ranch, or a yacht, or both, and retire forever from the arduous task of earning a living. Even with a goodly part of the population of Los Angeles as permanent pensioners, the Zeritsky's fortune grew to incredible proportions. By the time the Zeritsky brothers died and left the business to their sons, it was a gold mine, and an inexhaustible one at that. During these later years the enterprise began to attract a somewhat better class of people. Murderers and other criminals continued to furnish the bulk of the business, but as word of this amazing service seeped through the country, others began to see in it an easy way of solving their problems, if they were encouraged to, by the fact that the process was painless and the firm completely reliable. There were no risks, no accidents, no fatalities. One could in short have confidence in the Zeritsky's. Soon after Monaghan's great exposure rocked the nation, however, many of these better type clients leaped into print to tell their experiences. One of the most poignant stories came from the daughter of a Zeritsky client. Her father was still, at the age of 102, passionately interested in politics, but the chances of his lasting until the next election were not good. The daughter herself suggested the deep freeze, and he welcomed the idea. He decided on a twenty-year stay because in his own words, if the Republicans can't get into the White House in twenty years, I give up. Upon his return he found that his condition had not been fulfilled. His daughter described him as utterly baffled by the new world. He lived in it just a week before he left it, this time for good.  Some professional people patronized the Zeritsky's. Chiefly, movie stars. After the exposé, fan magazines were filled with accounts of how the stars had kept youthful. The more zealous ones had prolonged their screen lives for years by the simple expedient of storing themselves away between pictures. We may imagine the feelings of their public upon discovering that the seemingly eternal youth of their favorites was due to the Zeritsky's and not as they had been led to believe, to expensive creams, lotions, diet and exercise. There was a distinctly unfavorable reaction, and the letter columns of the fan magazines bristled with angry charges of cheating. But next to criminals, the majority of people who applied for quick freezing seems to have been husbands or wives caught in unsupportable marital situations. Their experiences were subsequently written up in the confession magazines. It was usually the husband who fled to Los Angeles and incarcerated himself for an appropriate number of years, at the end of which time his unamable spouse would have died or made other arrangements. If we can believe the magazines, this scheme worked out very well in most cases. There was inevitably one spiteful wife who defined her husband's intentions. By shrewd reasoning she figured approximately the number of years he had chosen to be absent and put herself away for a like period. In a TV dramatization, rather pessimistically entitled, You Can't Get Away, the husband described his sensations upon being defrosted after fifteen years, only to find his wife waiting for him right there in the reception room of the Zuritsky's plant. She was as perfectly preserved as I was, he said. Every irritating habit that had made my life unbearable with her was absolutely intact. The sins of the fathers may be visited on the sons, but how often we see repeated the old familiar pattern of sons destroying the life work of their fathers. The Zuritsky brothers were fanatically meticulous. They supervised every detail of their operations and kept their records with an elaborate system of checks and double checks.  A satisfied Zuritsky client was a silent client. One dissatisfied client would be enough to blow the business apart. The sons in their greed over-expanded to the point where they could not even among the four of them personally supervise each and every detail. A fatal mistake was bound to occur sooner or later. When it did, the victim broadcast his grievance to the world. The story appeared in a national magazine, every copy of which was sold an hour after it appeared on the stands. Under the title, They Put the Freeze on Me, John A. Monahan told his tragic tale. At the age of thirty-seven he had fallen desperately in love with a girl of sixteen. She was immature and frivolous and wanted to play around a little more before she settled down. She told me, he wrote, to come back in five years and that started me thinking. In five years I'd be forty-two and what would a girl of twenty-one want with a man twice as old as her? John Monahan moved in circles where the work of the Zuritskys was well known. Not only did he see an opportunity of being still only thirty-seven when his darling reached twenty-one, but he foresaw a painless way of passing the years which he must endure without her. Accordingly he presented himself for the deep freeze, paid his three thousand dollars and the five hundred dollars' storage charge in advance and left, he claimed, written instructions to let me out in five years, so there'd be no mistakes. Nobody knows how the slip happened, but somehow John A. Monahan, or rather the number assigned to him, was entered on the books for twenty-five years instead of five years. Upon being defrosted and discovering that a quarter of a century had elapsed, his rage was awesome. Along with everything else, his love for his sweetheart had been perfectly preserved, but she had given up waiting for him and was a happy mother of two boys and six girls. Monahan's accusation that the Zuritskys had ruined his life may be taken with a grain of salt. He was still a young man, and the rumor that he received a hundred thousand for the magazine rights to his story was true. As most readers are aware, what has come to be known as the Zuritskys' law was passed by Congress and signed by the President three days after Monahan's story broke. Seventy-five years after Mrs. Graham's cat fell into the freezer, it became the law of the land that the mandatory penalty for anyone applying quick-freezing methods to any living thing, human or animal, was death. Also, all quick-frozen people were to be defrosted immediately. Los Angeles Papers reported that beginning on the day Monahan's story appeared, men by the thousands poured into the city. They continued to come, choking every available means of transport for the next two days. Until that is, Zuritskys' law went through. When we considered the date and remember that due to the gravity of the international situation, the bill had just been passed drafting all men from sixteen to sixty, we realized why Congress had to act. The Zuritskys, of course, were among the first to be taken. Because of their experience, they were put in charge of a military warehouse for dehydrated foods and warned not to get any ideas for a new business. End of Section 26 End of A to Z by Various

So if you're far away, or even if you're close by, and you just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the truck, you can see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises, and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. If this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video, that it was helpful, and that Brett sent you factory chrome stepbars. There's a box steps on there as well. Back wheel is in excellent shape as well, and the back tires are brand new. We put those on in our safety inspection, so you can see just how much tread comes on a brand new tire. So that's why I say the fronts are about 50%. You also get this felt wheel well liner, which keeps your frame and underbody looking good. And underneath, looks really good, a little bit dusty, but not too bad. Lower rockers all look really great, and you can see you get these Z71 Rancho Shocks back here as well. Cherry metallic has just a little bit of metal flake to it. Really a good looking color.

Parking sensors, rear bumper steps, full towing package, which includes a receiver hitch, and seven pin wiring. You also get two hookups for, if you wanted to put cameras on your trailer.

And then you also get a 120 volt, 400 watt plug. That spray and bed liner goes on to the tailgate, and watch this. It's also a power lift tailgate. That's pretty slick. Coming around to the driver's side, just as clean as that passenger's side. No dents or dings on the driver's side box here. And for full disclosure, this back wheel is in excellent condition as well. No scuffs or scrapes on there. And down the rest of this side of the truck, doors and cab all look really good. This one does have the telescopic tow mirrors, heated mirrors, blind spot monitoring, LED side lights in the back, LED side lights in the front, chrome trim, 360 cam. I'll show you how all those cameras work in just a minute. There is so much to go over on this truck, but first I want to show you the back seats. So you know that they're in nice shape, which they are Latch Child Safety System, power sliding rear window with the built-in rear defrost. These headrests fold down for better visibility. There are storage compartments behind the driver and passenger side. And you also get a storage area underneath the seats, factory all-weather floor mats.

Power windows locks and mirrors, memory driver's seat and Bose premium sound system. So these mirrors do power telescope out. I always like showing both sides. So you know that both sides are working properly. And then they do power fold in and out. I wanted to show you the tire and loading information sticker, as well as the GM is nice enough to give you the trailering information sticker as well, and the VIN sticker. No Canadian trucks here. We'll hop inside, check out the miles radio and everything that this truck has to offer on the interior. I think it's going to make me start it up. Oh, there we go. 37,714 miles on this truck. Instrument cluster is nice and clean. You get a digital display. Comes with the heated leather wrap steering wheel, Bluetooth and information center controls on the right.

Up here, you get home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems, sunroof and power sliding rear window controls, as well as on-star and SOS buttons up there as well. This one also has the rear view mirror camera. So once we start the truck here, you'll see that that actually is a video display of what's going on behind you. So let's start it up. Then we'll take a look under the hood and then check out all those LED lights in the front.  There is your camera in the rear view mirror. So that's a video display of what's going on behind you and you can make that just a regular mirror. Anyways, starts right up. No check engine lights. And then you also get the heads up display.

Hey guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. For today's video, I am going to be doing a full face of new affordable makeup. We have some items from Elf, from ColourPop, from Essence, lots of goodies. And if you're new here, I'm mostly a high-end luxury beauty channel. However, I personally feel as if I can't give you accurate luxury reviews without knowing what is fully on the market, both affordable and high-end so that I can tell you from high-end and luxury what is really worth it. And of course, what you can get at an affordable price that's as good as the high-end and luxury. So I can get upon myself to periodically test what's new in the more affordable side of the market. So that's what we are going to do today. So let's get into it. I want to say a huge thank you to Dermala for sponsoring this portion of today's video. As you guys know, I've struggled with acne for a while now. And look, you guys, it's all flat. This is all just scarring, which is great. And so I've been using Dermala products for months. So I really can tell you my thoughts on them. They make skincare products with your microbiome in mind. It's really, really unique. That's what makes them stand apart from the market. So the line is inspired by the new research about the relationship between your skin and your diet. So they formulate their products to be biome conscious, which I think is really, really cool. They use patent probiotic based ingredients in their formulations. They do that to address the root cause of acne, which is an unbalanced skin barrier. So I want to show you some of the products that you can get. First one, I don't have it in my hands because I finished it. So this is the ends with benefits. So this is just a great cleanser. So it has that patent microbiome complex in there. It also has pro vitamin B5, a list of amino acids and glycerin as well in there. And this is one of my favorites. I'm fearful I'm going to run out very, very soon. The scantily pads, which are just basically topical little pads that have acne treatment on them. This has the salicylic acid. That's my all time favorite topical ingredient when it comes to those specific spots that you get. I always, always use this. So they have the supplements to be, which has the daily pre and probiotic mix. So it has zinc, vitamins, antioxidants and spinach leaf extract. And I had them send me these because I cannot live without these. These are the pimple patches and they are so good. So the ingredient here is hydro colloid. I might have said that wrong. Oh my gosh. I only have like three left. So what am I doing? Why am I running out of these anyways? I'm a true believer in these pimple patches. Let me tell you, you just pop them on the pimples that you get at night. Just targets that pimple and helps the process of speeding it up to get rid of it. And this one is a new one. I haven't been trying this one for months. They sent this to me pretty recently, but I have to say you guys, I think the moisturizer I was using before this broke me out because I stopped using that and I started using this and that is why my skin is completely bump free. But this does not break me out and I am so thankful. This is the Oatso Sweet Moisturizer. It sinks into the skin so fast. Very, very happy with it and it doesn't break me out. Fantastic. You can order all of these items individually or you can get a personalized kit that they all create for you. All you have to do is take a personalized quiz on the Dermalow website and they will get you all set up. That's what I originally used was from their quiz and I love it. Anyways, let's get into the video. So I did get a very generous PR package from Elf recently that had a bunch of their new launches and I've heard a lot of talk about this. So I'm really excited. This is the Elf Power Grip Primer. A lot of people are comparing this to the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer which I like but it causes severe acne on me so I don't use it really. I feel like Elf has a couple dupes for this already but let's see. I'm always nervous with these types of primers though because I do not want to break out but if you don't know this just creates a really tacky base on your skin which is supposed to be great for the longevity of makeup. I will admit you guys, I do have more normal to dry skin so longevity of makeup normally isn't too much of an issue for me unless makeup is really, really bad quality. I don't notice primers doing too much in the way of longevity but I still like to use primers so there we are, there we have it. Now I do not have a new drugstore or affordable foundation to try but I did get the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin in yesterday so we're just gonna try that. So this is my one little cheat for today. I have mine in the shade for Neutral and I will be filming a wear test on this on a different day. It actually should already be up but since everything that I'm wearing is new today, today's not the day to do a true wear test. I am excited nonetheless. Oh, this looks like it is a good color on me. I was nervous because some people were saying that this ran dark so I almost ordered 2N just in case but no, this looks like the perfect shade for me. As you can see, look at that. And this definitely gives like a light medium coverage because you can still see my acne spots underneath but it looks quite healthy on the skin. I was gonna say it doesn't spread out easily but I think that has to do more so with the fact of the primer just grabbing onto the product. If you think about it, a primer like that might actually help with the coverage because it's holding on to that foundation. So we'll see, I'll continue testing this primer but that might be the reason why this has a lot more coverage because it's grabbing onto the foundation which is actually really, really cool. That is the case but again, I'll have to use this foundation again and I'll let you know. If you are my skin tone and you use me to color match, 4N is the business. This is a really great match for us. Okay, obviously I have a long ways to go to learn about this foundation but it looks absolutely beautiful but I totally cheated because it's definitely not affordable. So let's get back into the affordable part. We're gonna do eyebrows. I'm gonna use the Maybelline Total Attemptation pencil really, really quick. This isn't new. This isn't technically part of the video but again, I don't have a brand new eyebrow pencil. I stopped cheating from here, promise. Do you really, really like this pencil though? This is one of my favorites from the drugstore. If you are curious. Okay, I will clean up the brows a little bit but first we're gonna shape it. Elf came out with a dupe for the ABH brow gel and it is called the Elf Brow Lift. Now I don't use the ABH, what is it, brow freeze? That's what it's called. Too, too much. I have used it on a couple clients before. I mean, it is amazing but let's see how this guy works. They also sent this lift applicator. Let's use it. Let's find out. I didn't really use it but I'm not reading it. Oh, this is like a gel. This is not hard like the ABH. I'm gonna put it on the back of my hand. I don't know, stops it from getting brown at least. Okay, let's see. I did not put enough on. That does not feel successful. Okay, let me try again. Okay, put a little bit more on. Okay, it's definitely not as intense as the ABH. I'll tell you that the ABH is intense but that might be a really, really good thing. If you feel like the ABH is too intense for you I'm just showing you the capacity that it has but I will be brushing my brows down. Like it is certainly telling them where to go but it's not as strong glue like as the ABH which honestly, I kind of like that. I know I look like a maniac. Give me a moment. Okay, and I liked the applicator. The applicator is cool but you can use any spoolie and be fine. Okay, so now I'm just gonna take this and brush them down just a little bit. I guess they're just gonna be a little fluffier in this video. Not my cup of tea when it comes to eye brows style but we can do it for today. Now for concealer and I'm also gonna use it to clean up my eyebrows. We are gonna use the Revlon Color Stay Skin Awaken Concealer. Really, really excited because I was actually one of the first people to try this concealer. I got to be a part of a Revlon campaign and promote it and it was so exciting for me. It has the sponge tip applicator and I do really, really like this concealer. I wouldn't have agreed to it if I didn't like it. I think it's really, really nice. It's lightweight, it's very comfortable. I'm gonna use my sponge. This is a Shot Miss A sponge by the way, $1.50. You can't beat it. It's super duper soft. I'm just gonna put this on. I'm not gonna do any color correcting or anything since I am wearing a lighter coverage foundation but it's a really good concealer from the drugstore. I'm not mad. I'm gonna actually put some right here in my spots as well just where I need a little extra coverage.  So we're just gonna clean that up. Okay, I feel so much better about life now. We'll see how these stay. They don't feel as secured as the ABH from Make and Feel but they still feel pretty, pretty good. Okay, this is not necessarily a new product but it's a new color that I wanted to try. This is the Elf Putty Bronzer. I do like this. This is in the shade Honey Drip. So I'm gonna use this iconic London paddle brush and we're just gonna place this where I want it. But this is a pretty good cream bronzer from the drugstore. If you're going to get a cream contour, I actually like the Elf contour quad better. It's like a cream contour quad than the cream bronzer but these are more warm. They give you a little bit more bronze and these are still very, very good. I just wanted to give you that option because I do prefer the formula of the cream quad a little bit more. Ooh, I like this color though. This is a nice color. Like I said, I haven't tried this color before and I really like it on my skin tone. For that nude contour.  Ooh, nice color. This one is definitely warmer than the other one that I was using. I think it was tan lines. So when I was using, I like this. This is good. And then I'm gonna use my sponge and we're gonna push that into the skin. Try not to swipe. And I actually, you know what? This is still blending really good. You can see I don't even have to swipe. I'm just patting it into the skin and it's looking really good. Okay, Elf, love to see it. Gosh, Elf is definitely my favorite affordable makeup brand. They stay on top of the trends and you know, some of their products aren't amazing but I do good with what you pay for sure. They really allow you to try out trendy makeup without breaking the bank. Okay, fantastic. Let's move on to blush. I have a couple options. So I have some of the Maybelline cheeky. It's not new, but they are new to me. I've heard bad things about them, but I do want to try them. If I don't end up liking them, I do have some alternative, but let's try nude burn. This one looks nice. Probably matches the eyeshadow I end up using. I don't know. I'm only going to open this one because like I said, I have heard not the things about this, but they did send it to me in PR and I was curious. I wanted to develop my own thoughts. Okay, so here's what it looks like on my hand. Okay, so it does kind of blend out, but let's see. It looks a lot more intimidating than it actually is because you can see. I mean, it blends out. That looks a little uneven. That's my fault more on. It kind of gets tacky the longer it's exposed to air. Then let me push it into the skin, blend it out, make it a little bit more even. Oh, that is uneven. I don't know if that was my fault or the product's fault, but it looks kind of uneven, but once it's pushed in, it still looks uneven. I was going to say, no, it doesn't, but then I got closed and it looks uneven. I'm having trouble like squeezing it out of here. Go back to the drawing board. Okay, I'm going to spread it on my hand.  That's a telltale sign, isn't it? We can work it out. We can make it work. I'm a firm believer of making products work. I don't know why people didn't like this. Was it because it was uneven? Because that's what I'm noticing. I just put a ton on the back of my hand because the color does kind of sheer out a little bit more than I would like, but I do like the finish on the skin. Like it gives a really pretty, healthy hydrated look, but I'm not a fan of the consistency of it and the application of it's kind of a pain in the butt, but I really built it up. So we have color on the cheek and the finish looks really, really hydrating. There are better cream blushes out there for you. I don't think this is terrible, but application is a little bit of a mess. Pain in the butt. You have to build. You have to be slow. You have to be patient. I actually have two other colors. I'm going to put these in a pile to give away because I won't be using these again probably. I'll hold onto this. It's not worth this carding because look at this glow, but there's a lot better cream blushes out there. I will say that. This is honestly not bad. My cheeks look really hydrated. I'm not mad at it. Okay, so I got this really neat new product sent in the mail from Colourpop. This is the pretty fresh pressed face powder. So they sent me a bunch of colors. At the current moment that I'm filming this, they actually haven't revealed it yet. So I don't know any details about this. Other than I'm about to set my face with it. So it does come with a powder puff for full coverage. We're not doing that today. I just want to see how it sets. So I'm going to use a Ruffer 18 brush. I'm using the shade number one fair because I want to use this to set the center of my face and kind of brighten everything. Oh, yes. This has some coverage to it because you can literally see it brightening my face and covering the blush a little bit. So be warned. Maybe I should have brought a deeper color out. Oh, I like this. This is nice. I'm going to have to see how this acts kind of on its own as a powder foundation but to set it did a good job. Now it's sitting a little bit on top of my skin. It's not blending in seamlessly. You can take a look. But I feel like as the day goes on and it settles, we will really like that effect. But upon initial application, it's not an amazing finish. Like it doesn't look as good as my Charlotte Tilbury powder. I think when the day goes on and oils come through, it will really settle into the skin and look quite natural. But I like that so far. I'll have to continue using it. But that did a good job of setting the makeup so I'm not mad at it. And then for highlight, I pulled this guy out from Catrice. This is the more than glow highlighter. It looks really, really pretty. I love Catrice. They're very, very affordable and I think they come out with some really great quality products. So I did get this sent to me in PR but we'll see. I'm excited. So I'm going to use my blinked brush, F17 brush. This looks like it's going to be blinding. So let me go a little bit lighter handed and I'm just going to put it right where we want the sun to hit. Don't want to blend it out too much because you can see it's a little bit icier than I like. But let's focus on the texture here. I mean, if you put it on sparingly in just the high points, how pretty is that? And that blended into the skin. Really gorgeous. I don't think I'd like this all over. But the texture is beautiful. And if you just put it right on that high point. Ooh, that's pretty. I am not mad at that. Let me put a little bit right here. And a touch right here. Just a touch. Ooh, cool. I might incorporate that into the eye look when we get there. But if you're quite fair, I think you will really, really like this color. The texture is really beautiful. I'd be interested in trying this in like a gold shade. Next up, we have eyes. I've been dying to try these. I've heard so many good things about these because they're so dirt cheap. I hauled these a while ago. And I never got the chance to try. But these are the Essence eyeshadow palettes. They're like $3, $4. And the color stories are super duper cute. So I'm excited to play with these. The first one that I have here is Dancing Green. She all know I'm tempted to use. But I also got I Like To Mob It. Which I'm also really, really tempted to use. Okay, I'm gonna stare and do this eye and decide and you'll see what we end up doing.  But I'm really not a fan of this palette. Maybe it's just the color.  But this works like a $3 palette. Maybe a little bit better. Like it's not terrible. You can make it work. I made a look. But you guys know I'm a little snobby when it comes to eyeshadows. I just say I'm not. I can't help it. I still get excited about affordable options. But let me just show you. So I'm starting off with this shade right here. I'm gonna set it under my brow and then just kind of bring it down into the transition area. Because this is the color that's gonna pop through and I'm just gonna use the same brush. This is an ABH blending brush. We're gonna use this shade right here. And all this shade doesn't do much on me. It does add a very slight shadow. But when I use this I was like, I don't love the way that it's blending out. I don't love the texture. I don't love the level of pigmentation. But it's fine. I wasn't writing it off at this point because this works. It does the job. So you can see I'm putting a little bit underneath like that. Okay. So I'm gonna use a Luxy 229 and we're going into this shade. I love the colors that they chose. I think this is so fun. And I did decide to go with the purple by the way since I was wearing a cooler toned shirt. Okay, I'm being dramatic. It really isn't terrible for $3. You probably couldn't beat this. I think maybe elf's quality. I like a little bit better for eyeshadows. But on this side especially, I noticed this shade getting really, really patchy and the shadows just weren't blending the way that I like. Honestly, it's working out a little better on this side. So I'm not as mad anymore. It was looking very patchy on the other eye and it took a lot of work for me to make it look seamless. This isn't bad so far. Still don't like it though. Comparing it to higher end shadows, you just can't get quite the seamless look in my opinion. I'm working it though. I'm making it work, don't worry. And you can too. You guys are very talented. But yeah, it's just not looking smooth like I wanted to. My sponge and kind of clean that up a little bit. Okay, and then let's move on to the shimmers. And the shimmers to me are very disappointing in this palette. I'm gonna start off with the darkest shade and they swatch good. This shade is okay, but it doesn't add too much. But it does the job, right? Underwhelming, but it's there. And this shade is the one that I'm quite disappointed by. It is so lackluster. Oh, why did I do that? Okay, we'll fix that later. But it is so lackluster. Definitely make these shadows work a little bit better if you wet your brush, but I just don't do that very often. I want the shadow to stand out on its own. I will do it. And when I use this palette in the future, I will have to do that. This is the best shimmer. I'm just gonna put it basically over. It's the best shimmer, but it's still not super impressive. But I'm being hard on it. I really shouldn't be because you guys, it is super duper cheap, really beautiful color story. You can certainly make it work for the price point. You know, if you don't want to spend a lot of money on an eyeshadow palette, it's definitely workable, but it's personally not my jam. But I'm happy that I finally tried it because this has been in my eyeshadow to try bin for weeks and weeks and I've been desperately wanting to try them. So we got one out of the way. I'll have to try the green and see if the green is better. Okay, I'm gonna go in with more of the dark charcoal and I am going to kind of deepen this area, make the look a little bit more blended. I mean, at the end of it all, you gotta admit, this look is pretty.  It's a nice purple look. And it's not that I even wouldn't recommend these palettes.  But in terms of if you're looking for a really good, reliable eyeshadow, I'd push you more towards elf as opposed to these guys. So in terms of eyeshadows, I think that's about as good as we're gonna get. I have to say really happy though that you can get this kind of color story from the drugstore or at such an affordable price because this is not a common color story to come by at this price point. So I do like that and I do enjoy the look. I'm gonna take a bit of the Catrice highlight. Ah, yes. This is amping up the look right here. Just this little inner corner pop. I could not resist the urge you guys and then right underneath the brow just to kind of lift it a little bit. Beautiful. Okay, I do have a new eyeliner to try. This is from Hard Candy. I got it in a PR package and it looks interesting. You're supposed to stamp in line. I normally don't like products like this, but I thought it'd be fun to give it a try.  Like I definitely want to set my face with some setting spray because it is looking a little dry. Okay, so you're supposed to stamp wing, I think, and then fill.  Boink, and then boink. Oh, that angle was terrible.  Why did I do that? Whatever. We'll fill it in. It is what it is. I mean, honestly, if you can get the angle right, that will take some practice on my end. It's a good guy. I'm not mad at that. You guys know I can't talk to you or show you when I do my line. So, brief intermission here. Do as you wish. Guys, this is where the video goes downhill. If you're gonna use this, make sure you angle the wings right. I tried to fix it, and now I just have things pointing straight up and they're uneven. I think I'm personally gonna stick to my own wing creation, but honestly, if you got the angle right, it really wasn't bad, but dang, let me try and doctor this and then I'm gonna put on some mascara and lashes. I don't have anything new anyways, and we'll finish off with the lips. I'll be back. Okay, lash glue is drying. Lashes always save the day. My wings are pointing towards the sky. I actually really like the formula of this. User error. Okay, let's move on to lips. I'm really excited. Elf came out with a product that I've been waiting for them to come out with. Lip liners. So, they actually do have some lip liners, but those were from a limited edition set. They didn't have like a permanent range of lip liners. So, these are called the Love Triangle Lip Filler Liner. I am so excited about these. I'm really excited to have an Elf one. So, let's see what colors we have. So, you can see there's like a triangle here at the corner. This one is like a soft pink. I don't think I want that. Let's hope there's something a little bit cooler. This one could work. Mauve. Okay, yeah. Nothing is gonna be better than mauve. And then the other color that they have is like a light brown, which also would go good. So, a soft pink, a light brown, and a mauve. I think they're covering their basis for these lip liners. I like that color. Okay, so let's see. Is it creamy? It's not. It's a little bit waxier, which I like. I don't love this shape, honestly. Yeah, for the lip liner, I don't like this shape. Mmm, I wouldn't say this is my favorite lip liner formula. I'm not in love with it, but for a few bucks, I bet you would get the job done just fine. Not mad at it, but I'm not putting my Pat McGrath lip liners down anytime soon for this, if that makes sense. And then I also have a new product from Elf. Like, there's a number of Elf products in this video if you couldn't tell. I can't find a name on the packaging. That's so annoying, but they're these things. Yeah, they literally don't have a name of these. I don't know the official title. What are these? I don't know, so there's basic beige, which might be what we use. Oh, no, we'll do power mauve and pinkies up. So they have a beige, a pink, and then a mauve. So let's see. This is not a mauve. This is called power mauve. This is like peach. I don't like this color. Let's do beige. It's like a lip stain, I think. Interesting. Okay, let's try basic beige. These are very orange. They seem to like oxidize. All of them have such like a orangey reddish tone to them. These are like a lip stain, I think. They're acting as such like a glossy lip stain. It's not bad, actually. It looks kind of cool, but just for the look that I'm doing today, it's not it. Let me grab a lipstick. And you can see it does kind of stain the lips if you wipe it off. There's a time and a place for that. I'm not mad at that. I think it's cool that Elf is offering that. I need to use something to mute it out. So I'm gonna do for Eves from Morphe. There we go. Side note, don't sleep on Morphe's lipsticks. They have really, really good lipsticks. They're made in the USA. They feel very, very high quality to me. And final step of today's makeup look. I'm going to set it because my face looks dry. I'm pretty sure it's from the powder. This is the Elf Stay All Day Blue Light Microsetting Mist. I don't think I need a blue light spray. I don't know how I feel about that. But we need to set this makeup. So let's do it. Ooh, ooh, good mist. The mist right there is just gonna sell it because that was a nice weird smell. I don't like the smell of it. Oh yeah, this helped much better. I look much more hydrated. Thank goodness because I was looking thirsty. Okay guys, taking a step back here is the final look. All in all, I'm actually pretty happy with this look. Like I'm gonna wear this look for the rest of the day because I think it looks really, really pretty. So let's talk about the products. Quick round, the Elf Power Grip Primer. I'm definitely gonna have to play with more, but it did grip. So if you like the grip, I think you'll like it, but this one needs to have a few more trials. Charlotte's beautiful skin. Again, I'm gonna have to wear it. I already have a full review if you want my actual thoughts up at this point. So check it out. But upon initial application, it looks absolutely gorgeous. So beautiful on this skin. The Elf Brow Lift. Honestly, I'm not too partial to. I did notice my eyebrows kind of falling a little bit because it does put like a sticky texture in the eyebrows, but it doesn't really like, oh, I get it. That's what this is for, right? So I was gonna say, it doesn't like actually paste them to the skin, but maybe I can't believe it took me until now to realize that I was like, what is this spatula for? Okay, as you can see, now my eyebrows are pasted to my skin because this is what I was just about to complain about. I was gonna say, but it doesn't really stick the eyebrows to the skin. That's why my eyebrows are falling. I get it now. And look, do you see it sticking? Oh my gosh, I'm very uncomfortable with these types of brows on myself. But, and I didn't even apply more product. Okay, I'm eating my words now. Don't listen to me. I think this is a good dupe for the ABH now. But I will say with the ABH, you don't really need to press it down. Like this, you have to take that extra step and you don't need to use this applicator. You can just like use the spoolie and the tool that you're using's handle. But no, this seems like a great way to test out this style of product. If you are interested, I stand corrected. Anyways, I don't know why that just came to me just now, but anyways, I get it now. The ELF Putty Bronzer in Honey Drip. I really like this color for some warmth. I think it's pretty. I'm not too sure about the pretty fresh face powder from ColourPop. It made my skin look really, really dry. So I'm gonna have to try it out again just since I'm using a full face of all new products. Maybe it was something else, but I'm pretty sure this was making my skin look dry. To be prepared, there will be an update on that. The Cheek Heat. I don't really recommend. It's fine. I'm gonna keep it in my collection. I like how hydrated it made my cheeks look, but it was a little bit patchy to apply. Really did enjoy the Catrice Highlight. It's not my cup of tea when it comes to the actual shade itself, but the formula is nice. Not the biggest fan of the Essence Like 2 Mobbit Palette. You can still get a pretty look.  Look, the makeup looks nice, but it's not my favorite formula. The Heart Candy Eyeliner. I really like the formula of this so far, but I'm gonna have to practice using that stamp thing, but all in all, I like the formula. The lip liners are good if you're looking for a cheap lip liner. I like the options that they gave you. It's not my favorite lip liner, though. Honestly, I like the NYX lip liners better, so they're not my favorite, but they work. And these Elf things that I don't know what they're called. They seem like a cool, glossy, lip stain situation if you're into that, but everything is very cherry-like on the lips, so you have to like that look. I couldn't... It wasn't gonna work with today's look, but those are my first impressions of everything that I tried. Keep an eye out. If you don't hear me talk about these products again, I will in a makeup updates. I have one before these products would go into one, so it will be a few weeks of testing these, but I do do product updates periodically every few weeks, so everything that I don't talk about again, if it doesn't make it into a favorites or anything, it will be talked about in my updates video. I put a lot of my more affordable products in that video anyways. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video and you found it helpful. Again, a huge thank you to Dermalup for sponsoring a portion of today's video. I will have my link down below for you guys to check their products out, and I will see you guys in the next one. Have a good one. Wait, oh my God, I'm dead. You guys, I just looked in the mirror and I realized how lopsided I am. My eyebrows are not my best brown. I'm not my best one.


This is my favorite, even though I don't always get to use it, which is the no-callback close. I learned it from Brian Tracy on the audio book, The Art of Closing the Cell. If you haven't listened to that audio book, you need to go get that audio book, The Art of Closing the Cell, the no-callback close, right? So someone says, hey, there are two different ways you can use it, the no-callback close. There's the semi-aggressive way, and I'm going to show them both to you. There's the semi-aggressive way, or there's the super-aggressive way. And not everyone will be comfortable with using, some agents won't be comfortable with using any of these. But I have to say, I've heard from reports, back from agents, and Dylan can tell you guys if I'm lying, that agents have used this close that we're about to show you, and they've had success. True or false, Dylan? True. They've used it. Dylan said true. They've used it and didn't know if it was going to work. But people said, I want to think about it. I'm not sure. I'm not ready. And then they ended up using this no-callback close that we're going to go over in just a second. And they ended up getting a cell that they wouldn't normally do. Now, it takes some guts. I'm telling you, it takes some guts. I got to set this one up properly. But there's two different variations of this. The semi-aggressive one is, all right, as Lauren chose my impersonation badge, throws it to me. I got to put this bad boy on because I'm going to be hanging out with you guys at the Statler in Dallas. The semi-aggressive one is Miss Betty. So they say, I want to think about it. Miss Betty, unfortunately, we have a no-callback policy, right? You have everything that you need to make an informed decision today, so why don't you just take it? That's the semi-aggressive option. It still works. My super-aggressive option works even better. Like, I love the opportunity to use this. Like, I want someone to not pick one of those three options and give me a chance to pull this thing out of my bag, right? I love it. I want to show you guys. I've closed $300 a month sales with this. I've closed $505 a month sales with this. I've closed $750 a month sales with this, right? Using this method, I've closed, I always use it on big deals. It's different because most agents, they get to the big deal and they're like, holy freak, I don't want to screw this like $1,000 a month, right?   If you want to think about it for six months, that is perfectly fine. I just hope that when you end up buying, that you buy with me. Instead, realize that it's hard enough to get in front of someone one time. It's even tougher to get back in front of someone a second time when you have the opportunity to get the client and get the business. You must close and get it. And trainers and agents and managers that tell you you can think about it or go to a second appointment or always run two appointments are wrong. I'm telling you they're wrong. So that's why when I get a chance to grab a large sale, even a small sale, small sales are not even worth coming back for. But big sales, sales of all kinds, I want to close on the first call. I do not want to come back. I have a what? No callback policy, which is what you guys should adopt. Tell me what you think of this so far, because we're spending some freaking gold on today's show. We've been going about 16 minutes and we've given too much of value. Check out, I want to see some comments, Facebook and YouTube. Dylan's watching them. Duker's watching them. Lauren's getting some Instagram and Facebook stories. You guys don't follow us on Instagram. You can follow me, cody.askins. You got to do that. We're giving behind the scenes stuff all the time.  So that was the semi aggressive one. Here's the super aggressive one. Some of you may not even say it. It may be too much for you. Here's the super aggressive one. They say, Miss Betty says I want to think about it. I'm not ready to make a decision. Whatever, right? Call me back. Come on. Miss Betty, I wish you could. Unfortunately, we have a no call back policy in our office. We've had prospects that said they were going to think about it. They didn't think about it because we just get busy and never do. They ended up passing away. Guess who their family blamed that they didn't have insurance. They blamed the agent, the last agent that was there. And I don't want to be to blame when we didn't help protect your family. Now, you need it. You want it. You can afford it. It makes perfect sense. So I recommend that you go ahead and take it. Let me see if I can get you approved. What's your full legal name? Now, is that aggressive or is that aggressive? But it works. It works. If you're able to help them, if you're able to help them get the coverage they need, then who cares, right? It's super aggressive, but it's also super true. Very, very, very true. I'm still over here. Great, Dylan. Super aggressive and super true. My no call back close work. And I say mine because I've adopted it for the insurance industry, but I got it from Brian Tracy.  If you think we're spitting gold right now, you ought to spend two days with us at 8% Nation. We just sold out a retreat, eight bedroom retreat in Arizona for a weekend with us. And it just recently sold out over a month in advance. So if you want to be a part of some of the stuff we're doing training wise to help you grow, you need to take immediate action because we sell events out early. That's what we do. Super aggressive. I want to see in comments below if you would try this show of hands on YouTube and Facebook. If you would try this, yes or no, maybe you wouldn't. Maybe you would be too scared to do it. I want to know. I want to see it. All right, so.

viewers, Carl, has asked me to talk about Metasploit, which is a topic I am not that familiar with. I have played around with it a little bit, but I figure I give my insights and what I thought of it and things I like about it and things I don't like about it. Metasploit is a program that basically has a large database of vulnerability attacks, so you can use it very easily to test systems that you may have. Now, commonly it's already pre-installed on what's called Kali Linux, previously known as Backtrack. It's a cool distribution of Linux, has a cool looking logo with a dragon, and is currently, since they switched to Kali, Debian-based, which is a good thing because now I guess they're going to start trying to move things upstream into the Debian repositories from my understanding. Let me talk a little bit about what it does. Basically, you can go into it and you can say, okay, I have a machine that's a Windows XP service pack to running these services, and it can give you basically some exploits, things, programs you can send to people that would open up a vulnerability on their system. Sometimes it can just attack that machine and look for vulnerabilities, and then other times it can set up servers that you send someone a link to a website and it tries to use an exploit on their web browser and stuff like that. Basically, once a vulnerability is found for all operating systems, it's not just to attack Windows machines. In most cases it's added to this database, and then you can use that database with Metasploit to attack these services. It's great to have all that in one place for testing uses, so if I want to attack a machine, you can actually do an attack to try everything against a machine. There's actually a GUI interface for Metasploit called Armitage, which I have also played around with some. I have taken some test boxes running Windows, it was a while ago, it was probably about two years ago, probably more than that, that I tried this, but I had a Windows machine. I want to say Windows XP, it may have been Windows NT, but anyway, I did what was called a Hail Mary attack on this test machine that was just running basic services. What the Hail Mary does, and it's an option inside Armitage, it uses the Metasploit and just does attacks with every possible vulnerability and tries to break into this machine. I have had some success with it, and then I've had success once you get into that machine that you can actually use other vulnerabilities to pull down other people's credentials and then pivot into other systems on the network. So it works. Lots of people like it and it has lots of things already to go for you once you learn how to work it. Again, I've done a little bit with the Metasploit shell, but mostly I've done stuff through Armitage and I've barely done anything in either. What do I not like about all three of these things? Cali Linux, Metasploit and Armitage. Armitage, again, it's just a front end for Metasploit and it does a fairly good job. It's written in Java and I think it's kind of a, it's kind of slow, but it works. Doing something at the Hail Mary pass again, I think all three of these, getting Cali Linux and using Armitage and or Metasploit to test a system you want to see is my system secure and just do a Hail Mary pass or try these things, that's great for that and that's mainly its main use for it. But things I don't like about all three is they're bulky, especially, you know, let's start just looking at Cali Linux. Cali Linux comes with a full GNOME desktop, which is way overkill. If you're just going to go in there to test, if you're really know what you're doing, you don't need GNOME to do these things or GNOME or GNOME or however you say it. You shouldn't even really need a GUI interface at all and if so, something very light like Ice Window Manager or Flux Box would be more than enough. But the fact that it even goes straight to a GUI interface, the people who are using this should be system admins who are trying to test systems and if you're trying to do something like this and you need a GUI interface and you're a sysadmin, time to find a new job or actually start learning how to do yours just to be flat out honest with you. I can't remember how big Cali Linux is off the top of my head but I want to say that it's like four gigs, four gigs. That's huge. Now I understand that it has a lot of exploits built in. But really when you're going to run this, you're going to update that database right away. So I don't even, it just seems so bloated. It's like a full desktop environment with Office and stuff like that. Like Ubuntu is only I think like a gig and a half this time, which I still think is ridiculously large for a base operating system. But the fact that this is just to do exploits, you're not supposed to be using Cali Linux as your main primary desktop.  It just seems like there's a lot of stuff on there that is not needed. And I think that the size could be shrunk down on that. Now when it comes to Metasploit and its database, I don't know how big that base is. And I'm probably should look at how many exploits are in there. But still, each exploit at most should be a megabyte. I mean, even that's really big for a program that's going to test an exploit really should be, you know, in the kilobyte range when you're looking at size. So the fact that I don't know how big Metasploit is by itself, but I can tell you with Cali Linux, it's Cali is just huge. And I don't know if it's just Cali Linux has a lot of stuff on there that is unneeded or if just the Metasploit, Metasploit is dead. And again, Cali Linux has stuff other than just Metasploit on there, but most will use it for the Metasploit. So yeah, just the bulkiness and the slowness of it. These are supposed to be hacker tools to test the system or to break into a system. And it's just those type of tools should be very, very lightweight. And it's like a majority of time when I've seen tutorials or people talking about Metasploit, it's to make yourself an entry point.  And really, if I wanted to get into a Windows machine, I'd write myself a simple script or a program, compile it as an ex exe file. And it would literally be, I mean, teeny, tiny. I think I would probably put an icon to make it look like a program and icon probably would take up more space than the actual program because it doesn't need to be that big. And also, it just seems bulky for a tool for what it's supposed to be. I'm not criticizing how it works. I'm just saying that I feel that, and again, this is with little knowledge on the project itself, it could be trimmed down quite a bit. So those are my views. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying that as an admin tool and a hacker tool, if you're an admin or hacker, you should, everything should be streamlined and the fact that it is so large and bulky. And the fact that the Kali Linux comes with this big GUI interface, again, you shouldn't even really need a GUI interface for the most part. And if so, it should be a minimal one. And again, with, I started to say earlier with Metasploit, if you're going to run attacks in these systems, you want the most update database, you're going to update that database all together. So I understand there's a convenience of having on the seed, but it'd be nice if they had two versions of Kali Linux, the full version, and then the lightweight one that's, you know, maybe 200, 300 megabytes, that's, and that's kind of wide as a compressed image ISO, that when you run it, once again, network connection, you type one command and it pulls the database down from the internet. And then in the full database, maybe they can make it, and I don't know if there is something like this, it's like, okay, I want to attack a Linux machine running the kernel 2.4, whatever, and running an old version of SSH, you know, you put that information in and maybe it goes and it pulls down the database that meets those specs. So you don't need the full database, but just pulls down the little bit of what you need and stores on your system for those attacks instead of giving you everything. But I understand a lot of people use Kali Linux because it has that full database in there, but again, you're going to want to update it anyway. It's kind of going back and forth, so it would be nice if there were two versions. There was the lightweight version that's the minimal that will pull down what you need, when you need it, and maybe a full version so that if you're someplace and you don't have that internet connection or you're on a network that you don't want to be pulling down all that stuff, maybe you have the full version with everything packaged in. So those are my views on not just Metasploit, but Armitage and Kali Linux. I suggest checking them out. I do not suggest and I've talked to people who use Kali Linux as like their main OS, and I just think that's kind of silly. I think even if you ask the developers, it says it's not meant to be installed to your system. It's meant for testing. So I mean, again, if you have a separate like laptop or something that you bring with you that all you do with it is check, you know, for network attacks, sure, go ahead and install it on that, but to be using it for your everyday web browsing just seems a little weird to me. So what are your experiences? Comment below, let me know. Again, I'm not, I'm giving constructive criticism. I'm not dissing the project at all, any of the projects because I think it's great that there's stuff like that and a place where you can go and get the database of all those vulnerabilities and attacks. I just think that packaging and pounding it all into an ISO that's, again, I'm pretty sure it's like four gigs. Correct me if I'm wrong on that. Again, I haven't looked at the project in probably at least two years, but I was asked to talk about it, so I thought I'd do this quick little talk about it and it does work. It does. I mean, again, I've had success doing a Hail Mary pass, but again, a Hail Mary pass again is doing all the attacks on one machine. That's great. If you're testing your machine, also you'll be realized that if you're doing attacks on a machine, you can also mess up that machine that you're attacking, so you wouldn't necessarily want to use it on a main machine that you need right then and there. You want to do it on a test machine. That's another thing and that's great. If you just want to test all your systems and do Hail Mary passes on all of them, I think it's great. If you are actually an attacker, shame on you depending on what you're doing your attacks for, but you're not going to want something that big and bulky and that noisy. You're not going to want to do a Hail Mary attack because it's going to set off bells and whistles if the system administrator for that system has any clue what they're going to do. They're going to notice that all these attacks are coming in and they're going to be notified, hopefully. So definitely, again, I feel like I'm repeating myself, but if you want to test your systems, which is what it's primarily for, it's great. If you're an actual attacker, probably not the best tool for you. Anyway, again, comment below. Let me know what you think. I'm sure I'm probably going to get a lot of criticism back on what I said because people love these projects and I'm not saying they're bad. I'm just trying to give ideas, again, to streamline it a little bit and I hope that you have a great day. Again, thank you to my Patreon viewer, all my Patreon supporters, but definitely thank you, Carl, for asking me to talk on this topic that I know very little about and I'm going to make that clear as I have a few times earlier in this talk. So thank you for watching and I hope that you have a great day.
