Sorry,

Actually the first link (on securitytube) shows how to get a shell.

The correct second link shows how to gain root from a shell account from a (modern OS) kernel exploit (on 64bit OS [which many cloud and internet servers now run]):

Or if you run older kernels:

And if you want the videos:

The video I got instead of sshd brute forcing was for data in an imagefile.  When I searched the site, I could only find a couple vids for various password brute forcers.  Was this something besides that?
