Can my daughter hack a bank? Today we are going to find out!

In our previous video together, I introduced my daughter to the Linux command line. This time, we are taking things a step further and exploring the world of ethical hacking.

My daughter has no previous experience with ethical hacking, and she has no idea what we are going to do until we start recording!

Thanks to TryHackMe for sponsoring this video and giving us an opportunity to explore cybersecurity together.

We will use TryHackMe's beginner-friendly Offensive Security Intro room to investigate a fictional banking website, discover hidden web pages using the Linux terminal, and see whether my daughter can successfully complete her first hacking challenge.

Along the way, we discuss the difference between ethical and malicious hacking, how security vulnerabilities happen, and why learning cybersecurity does not have to be intimidating.

And at the end, my daughter shares her thoughts on learning with TryHackMe compared to our previous Linux command-line lesson.
