Ah, I see the site author still has his obnoxious bio at the bottom of every page. No better way to alienate content owners than to make it look like you're taking credit for every submitted video.

Some time last year this Vivek guy actually took all the homeworks and videos from my course and posted them on his site, with his bio at the bottom, without mentioning my name or where he got them from once. I had nothing to do with the content showing up there. I had to e-mail him to add credit and link it back to my site once I saw the embed stats on Vimeo.

My site: http://pentest.cryptocity.net/

All the videos posted on that page are his from what I know. I have gone through them all. Which one of the videos on that page are yours? Can you post a link from the page linked here.

Also, if you wanna run a shameless plug for your own website, that's ok with me :) but don't no it by slandering someone else :)

@Phantom Thanks for posting our videos!

@dguido Vivek here. Phantom buzzed me over this comment of yours. Let me refresh your memory -

1. None of the videos linked on "Open Security Training" belong to you. Go visit the page before talking. Every video is made by me.

2. I posted your videos and I CONTACTED YOU ... Here is the email trail for your reference:

Thanks Vivek, a number of people sent me links to your videos after they found out about mine. It's all cool!

You should link back to http://pentest.cryptocity.net, as that website contains all of the course material. I know there are lots of glitches with, particularly, the audio in the videos and I'm working on encoding better versions.

And "Author" in the end of the page is the "Author" of the video post. I have acknowledged your name in the video page and also in the email.

Sad, to see such a response for you.

For a long time this site just ripped videos off others without crediting the authors claiming to want to build a social community. It still does, but also allows people to upload. I think the site is supposed to be a vehicle for Vivek. Is securitytube a useful resource? Perhaps. But I don't like the approach that was taken to get it to where it is.
