The most dangerous man in the room is the one with the biggest brain and the biggest heart because he’ll go the lengths strong men could never figure out how to
@@timfreeman3826 get rid of the ones that run off Wi-Fi and buy ones like from the early 2000s or the original ones manufactured before they had all peoples info in the cloud
To anyone shocked by any of this, here's another shocking fact; all of this has been possible with various devices and methods for decades. You have never been safe.
As a cybersecurity analyst myself. I'm not where near as elite level hacker as this guy, but I really appreciate seeing my profession being put out there. It's really important and it needs to be said to the world. Cybersecurity and hacking is quickly becoming a cornerstone in the global war and self defense. People need to get over technology anxiety and learn to protect themselves or things are going to get very lawless.
@@peetruu22 hey there. I started by working for a managed service provider for 3 years as a network engineer so I had the basics of networking, cloud, and coding in power shell, bash, Linux etc. from there I started an apprenticeship in a cybersecurity hacking company nearby as I already had relevant network experience.
@@peetruu22 I'd recommend Udemy. They've got online courses that comes along with certificates. Video based too. U can get into that stuff. I started that way, only to figure out it wasn't for me, so I went the SQL / .NET route.
@@peetruu22 learn networking, its literally the first step. Find a full indepth CCNA course and understand everything there, after that, u are good to go with everything else.
I've been in law enforcement for 15 years, and I agree with this gentleman. We've started seeing a huge increase of home break ins where the thief's have a signal jammer. These jammers can not only jam cell signals which most alarms now use to communicate with the central alarm company, but also alarm sensors, and even police radios. My guys went to a call and caught the thief before he was able to get away and the officers noticed that non of their radios were working (they couldn't transmit/receive). These devices are getting easier and easier to get. I always recommend a hardwired alarm system when possible. Keep car keys inside faraday bags. We also recently had a home invasion where the homeowners alarm system did not go off because the 4 thief's had a signal jammer that could jam multiple frequencies at the same time.
Was the house specifically targeted, nice area ? Also what state if you don't mind me asking.. or east or west coast if not state. My folks are older & have had some weird things happening with their alarm system & people being caught on ring camera. Just wondering. Be safe out there
@@TimothyMcVay Nevada, nice area yes. I don't recall if the house was targeted or not. In my experience, they usually are. It's very rare they target a house randomly. I remember getting a bulletin from another agency out of state and they're starting to catch these guys with jammers also. In my house my entire alarm is hard wired and has two forms of communication back to central office. Via cell, and internet (hardline) as backup. DO NOT ever get SimpliSafe though. Those are using common ham bands frequencies and a cheap ham radio could bypass them. If you're stuck with a wireless system, the best bet is to get one where the main alarm system will basically send out frequent requests to the sensors asking "are you still there?" If it doesn't get a response (being jammed or low battery) the alarm goes off or alerts you. Lastly I will say that home invasions have been through the roof. To the point where I have never seen in my entire career. Be armed, be prepared at all times. Hopes this helps.
Last month, August 2023 Ryan was a big part to play at Pierogi's Scammer Payback call centre helping to shut down scam call centres in India. Amazing work Ryan and thank you for being on the good side young sir. Much love to you, keep up the good work!.
Accessing private information from people is extremely dangerous, depending on what you do with it. It can ruin lives and him making this public is hopefully educating the public they can take more precautions to prevent these things from happening
This was a few years ago, but I remember being in a urban SERE class, and the topic for that segment of the class was technology. Biometrics, IR, chemical trackers, bio sensors, RFID, and commercial drones were all talked about. The long and short of it is that you cannot hide. We live in an Era where local militia have abundant access to drones and smart phones. Look at what's happening in Ukraine right now. The next wars will not be fought by soldiers, and war machines. They will be won and decided by men like this young man right here. A man with a keyboard and an internet connection will make other weapons of mass destruction look like children's toys.
I bought a phillips electric tooth brush 2-years ago. When I opened it, there were pages of instructions. I was like, "what??" It was prompting me to connect to my phone through an app to help improve my 'brushing experience". I was like, "Yeh, naw I won't be doing that anytime soon". I am pleased that my internal warning system kept me free from that debacle.
seeing a bad ass navy seal call a nerd a dangerous man made my day (edit im a massive nerd so i was seeing this as a compliment, some are acting like it was a shot but its not)
Nerds have always been the most dangerous men in modern times. They create the weapons from nukes to mavhine guns , they are the CEOs , they run and plan the economy , they become the politicians. They run the world. Your fratboys and jocks May run school/ college and get all the girls. But usually end up labourers or blue collar wage slaves Only problem as a nerd is your dating life is shit even if you fo become succesful all youll get is a evil golddigger type who easily manipulate you due to your lack of dating experience
Security/Devops guy here - airports are without a doubt the most dangerous place to connect to wifi networks. There is no telling who is just hanging out there, running a similar device, to capture all of your data. Setup MFA for any/all accounts you have is critical these days to avoid your data being hacked.
Ryan Montgomery knows this better than most. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Pennsylvania-born was one of those computer whiz kids we’ve always heard about, exposed to computers at ten years old, making his way up through the hacker world and putting his skills into online marketing. In his own words, he did exceptionally well in the field. All was not well, however. Montgomery had also developed a drug addiction. It’s a common enough story, and one we’ve all heard: success mixed with drug abuse. And sure enough, it eventually landed Montgomery in jail. “That was my rock bottom,” he says. He got into recovery, got clean and sober, and along with Christopher Ferry, helped found the Boca Recovery Center in Florida. “Since then, I’ve put my skills in computers and online marketing to helping others overcome their addiction.” Skimming through Montgomery’s Instagram is to see a case study in the phrase “life after addiction.” There are all the markers of success: a house, car, lavish dinners with friends. But there is also a clear sense of purpose: photos of him at Boca Recovery, posts about the center’s scholarship program, and a general encouragement that those who need help seek it.
These interview segments with Ryan are obviously alarming, but also very interesting and educational. It gives you a better sense of how these things work and how easily they can be used.
I work in the field so it's it was nothing I wasn't aware of but I found it alarming and informative just how uninformed the average person is on how vulnerable their things are. obviously I didn't expect nurses to be informed to the level I am about MITM attacks (just an example) but I guess stuff like this has become so commonplace to me that im now jaded in terms of what people outside the field are aware of. seeing how shocked people are in the comments has blown my mind. especially taking into account that nothing he discussed is particularly new either. the compact, all-in-one device things he's using are new-ish but even some of them have been around for several years. what they do has been possible for several more years, just required considerably more hardware making it much awkward to use in the real world. MOST things he talked about I could have done 10+ years ago with my laptop, my code repositories from the time and my various antenna and such sold at any RadioShack lol
Seeing how amazed Shawn is reflects just how little the average person knows about computers. Nothing this guy says is difficult to learn. It all just takes practice. Buying devices, TH-cam tutorials and lots of practice gets a person basic hacking skills. The internet was never meant to be secure anything connected to it can be hacked it’s just that simple.
Nah He is just baiting U need to buy extensions and firmware to capitalize the flipper This is why Bitcoin exists in the first place I had God eyes book(it was an illegal book) This book only gave u a hint to hacked surveillance camera or Webcam, not an actual tutorial He just play good cop and bad cop
Hackers are so intriguing to me. Like they could literally do so much wrong, but also they can be used for a lot of good. I guess all depends on the person and their morals.
Yup. Often depends on the individual's moral code & where their interests lie. Don't know if he went over it in the main video but there are white hats (hack for good, call out vulnerabilities that need fixing, etc...) & black hat (maliciously exploits vulnerabilites of their targets for any number of reasons.) Many switch back & forth between hats as easily as they inhale & exhale.
there are White Hat and Red Hat "hackers", as well as pen testers, penetration testers. They are certified and usually subcontracted by large companies to have another company try to hack in to their computer systems, or access areas or rooms of buildings. They then report the weaknesses to their customer so there are corrections. So some of this knowledge can be quite commonly used for a good and lawful purpose. Then there are ways that you can protect yourself. Such as I can post a link of 2 British car thieves that stole a Mercedes in seconds without even waking the owner by hacking his keyfob. They duplicated his recorded keyfob response to become stronger so the car would recognize it and allow access and driving. It took maybe 10 seconds and they didn't break a window or a sweat.
There are also Anonymous hacktivists that shut down pedophilia and neo-Nazi websites on the dark web. Often they provide information to law enforcement.
And this is just what info of his knowledge and know how that he is sharing!! I bet he is beyond impressive just based on what he's been able to learn on his own.
As someone who has dabbled in this stuff in the past, most serious hackers aren't really motivated by money and they don't really care about a random person's data. The reason the hack is largely because it's fun. Many of the big hacks that are done by individuals (hacker groups are different) are done because they were bored. It's not until they get into financial difficulty that they hack for money. Those hacks are usually the easiest to do and quite well known so it's not really that exciting to them.
Shawn, I was a C-130 crewmember in USAF and I was deployed to K2 in November 2001, I’m sure a lot of your friends and guests were there at that time. It’s cool to hear the stories from those early days. This dude is a BOSS, thanks for having him on. One thing to expand on how to protect yourself, DO NOT “copy and paste” anything on social media. When something is on Facebook, and there’s a blurb at the end that says “copy and paste this to your profile”, DO NOT DO IT! There’s a reason it doesn’t say type this same thing; they want you to copy it to your clipboard because there’s malware imbedded into it.
@@mikewhit Dude there are all kinds of dumb stories to get dipsticks all wound up... Only yesterday I saw the headline: "Can folded dollar bills on the ground be a danger to you?" Utter horse-s**t... Or that dumb story how thieves jam plastic bottles in your wheels to make you stop so they can rob you... Just taking advantage of dummies that don't know any better...
@@mikewhit You can most certainly write html code to change what is copied to your clipboard, not just links but plain text as well. Can that be used to alter the link you think you copied so when you paste it in it links to a completely different place ...sure. There is a very simple writeup on bleeping computer , mind you it is specifically written using the example of you copy pasting something from a website into a cli which is obviously different... I'm just pointing out that it is possible. Yes I understand the context of what he is saying as it relates to a link on facebook, and yes I realize it's a different scenario in that writeup , just providing proof of concept.
@@driklol ok but again running anything in CLI is generally running, "root level" access to your browser.. most social media websites only allow plaintext or emoji and sanitize any links or similar.. i am sure FB blocks most XSS vectors.. pro's dislike when guys show up on syndicated youtube's (the video itself, not these comments even) showing hobby level stuff lol.. talk to me about weird buffer overflow exploits using some kind of weird unicode holes and then i am interested 🙃 but i think most of this stuff is beaten by sanitization expertise is often just a mindset that is believed by an observer.. i work among many charlatans and frauds
@@mikewhit I agree, and again was just showing some proof of concept there. I wont disagree that example was a very specific use case where someone would have to have a minimal understanding of what they were doing over all , but it's not that far fetched. Just trying to point out that what he was saying is possible albeit his example is likely doing something different than what he thinks it is. Unfortunate that you work with a lot of frauds, hopefully you can use that as an example to train and educate the people around you better than they have.
Hey man. Your doing real deal protecting. People don’t understand. Military guy here. IT. But basic. And we need you. NEED you. Shaun. Your killing it man.
Use to have a IT professor back in the day that said if we could hack into our IT portal and change our grade we didn’t have to show up for the rest of the year and pass the class lol. He thought us a whole bunch of “hacks” favorite one was the keylogger embedded into an image
When I was in school, there was a student that actually changed his grades. The only reason he stopped was because he got caught stealing the school network's daily password. I'm pretty sure he was making money doing this. I honestly could have used him to change my Algebra grade, but unfortunately I wasn't one of the IN crowd..
I love this guy, reminds me of old electronic surplus stores I'd visit as a teenager in the late 90's and could (and still have some of) an accumulated wireless devices, fingerprint id devices n & other items. Eventually corporate security producers realized this & reigned in the second-hand market on many things.
Dude definitely would've worked at Radio Shack in the 80's and I mean that as a compliment. Back then probably not, but we could've never imagined this back then. Fascinating and Horrifying...
I appreciate him making a side note (to those of us who know) why he isn't going into technical specifics which most people aren't into....I'm familiar with all that but I'd love to see a deep dive into the good stuff ya know that he finds interesting
I watched the full episode and fell in love with Ryan; I just want to bow down to him, he's such an awesome person! I'm looking all over the net for him so I can find out more.
in the early 1990s, before I had turned 10 years old, my parents bought us a home computer. we weren't some of the earliest to have a home computer but we definitely had one before they started becoming commonplace. for example, when we got ours, literally only 1 other person I knew had a computer at home. about a year after getting it, we had to 'upgrade' to the first widely used version of Windows (Windows 3.1 which came before Windows 95). I instantly became deeply fascinated and my inner geek was activated. before I was 12, I'd learned 2-4 different programming languages from books checked out from the library. my point is that I get vibes from Ryan that he shares that interest in these things that goes deeper than just doing it as a job. he's considerably younger (more intelligent & more successful as well) than I am but as I'd expect most higher level professionals in our field of work, I am capable of doing everything he mentioned being able to do with those devices. those devices basically make a nice, small, well organized toolbox consisting of the things needed to communicate over the most commonly used frequencies & protocols as well as the ability to load custom code (the actual attacks or exploit itself would be the code, the antenna & such just make it so the code is transmitted the right way). anyhow, I can't help but smile at the fact that a frickin Navy SEAL, one of the most well trained, toughest in every possible conceivable way, what is more or less the most effective, efficient, & professional instrument of warfare repeatedly telling Ryan "you're a dangerous man" because he is capable of doing things that I am also capable of doing lol. it's pretty wild to me. it's a pretty commonly shared belief that I'm pretty sure the recipe to creating Navy SEALs is taking a group of humans who already have beyond elite levels of intelligence, physical/mental strength as well as endurance & perseverance and you somehow increase those qualities even more. then you put more badassery than 5 human should ever be able to contain and put it into each individual SEAT cadet. the small few who are capable of containing this absurd level of badassery without their meat suits literally exploding are what we refer to as the Navy SEALs. the human embodiment of badassery. fuck around and find out if it were a human being. a Navy fuckin SEAL, what you would see in a thesaurus under 'dangerous man' is telling Ryan he's a dangerous man for having skills and knowledge that I also have. it's a bit of an ego boost for me tbh haha. especially with Shawn because being a SEAL is only the first line of a very long list of his Ph.D in badassery credentials
I'm no nerd but this definitely is a dangerous man that's on our side.I would love to learn some of this but again I'm far from a nerd so no worries here.I'm lucky I can use my phone nevermind this stuff.
I used to think I was crafty by changing the channel on peoples TV's or opening their garage door trying different codes on a remote, but the stuff people have access to these days is really scary.
I saw a video where iPhones were taking pictures of people every 1-5 seconds. You can't see it unless you have an infrared camera. I do have an infrared camera and decided to do this experiment. It indeed was taking pictures of me! Sometimes the flashes were going off several times a second.
What did you do? Are you suspect?? Otherwise, if you have a social security card and/or were born in a hospital with a birth certificate, they got you. Ther has to be ROI for someone to be pursued.
Born in 62 Dad had a TV / Electronic Repair shop in Elmhurst Queens America used to be an electronic making Presence Zenith , RCA , GE , etc. A shame what we have done in the name of Greed
I used to work at a petrol station that used the exact vacuum mop which Ryan referenced. I always thought it was strange when it would randomly speak when not in use and decide when it wanted to charge or not.
Probably better to underestimate him, than someone who uses his powers for bad? What's the risk of you underestimating him? That he does more good stuff, than you're aware of? ^^
@@7JohnWick7 possibly, but Sun Tzu said to study your enemy's tactics. Yes, sometimes in order to fight crime you must learn criminal behavior. There are plenty of people such as himself engaged in ETHICAL hacking. You learn to protect yourself. I also use Kali Linux. It could be used for nefarious purposes, but I use it to help protect my network. It has features to help you learn where your own paths to attack are so you can close them.
Very informative episode! One everyone should appreciate whether you're a tech nerd or not because this is the world we all live in and it's only going to get more 'interesting' by the day.
This guy really got me into taking IT classes at my school, love when he explains things, and it gets me motivated to learn more about the things he discusses
The video effectively illustrates Ryan's skillful navigation through various technological systems. It's a reminder of the importance of staying vigilant in the digital age. awesome!
this has been going on at this capacity for years and years. i used to be close to a guy that was an ethical hacker. i still think he has access to all of my devices and networks and i havnt seen him in years. he knows where i live, where my parents live. he had physical access to an old phone. i had to trash all of my modems, routers, computers, phone just for peace of mind. and still, because he knows where i live, they can brute force into the network..among other ideas. we are a long ways from safe. likely never will be. it's a powertrip. the ultimate powertrip.
Best way to get in to the cyberspace is, certifications+ competitions+ ofc a job. Certs General mix theory and hands on, some of the early on ones are mostly theory - waln before you run type logic. Competitions - ctfs/rvb events, are hands on practice and help with application in a non linear environment. And a job is a job not much to say there.
"Oh think people will care when they realize how vulnerable they are". Exactly. Im against being a drone for AI but damn do I need a faster way to learn. Flipper zero not only presses the deviancy switch but its actually useful in realizing vulnerabilities. Awesome episode, awesome show.
Yeah flipper zeroe's have been around for a while. Its fun to mess with intercoms and tvs in stores, but you can definiteley also do some illegat stuff with it too. Stay careful.
When people talk like this is makes it harder on the right people to do their hacking, but not impossible. He just scratched the surface of what is going on every second of the day. People thought there is no way they will ever be able to bug our homes and today people are paying money to be spied on willingly. Twenty five years ago I had a friend who would not say anything on a cell phone because he knew what was going on with them back then. Nothing is safe, but it can be fun
That term "IOT," stands for "Internet of Things," and I think some of what he mentions is about how radiowaves, specific frequencies, can send waves to coffee makers, refrigerators, Bluetooth devices, etc. to activate a device--a thing--in the IOT. Ring doorbells are a very common IOT. I hope this man returns to the show.
1. Use a password manager. Make sure your passwords are long and complex. 2. Install an anti-virus program (and make sure that it is up to date). 3. Use an RFID blocking wallet and make use an RFID shield for your keyfob. 4. Be careful of unsafe websites. 5. Use common sense.
I'd disagree on using a password manager. They are being hacked. A good example of this is LastPass. I wouldn't trust storing passwords in a password vault anymore.
@@youtubeshortsareamazing_. User behavior is a large part of staying safe online (example: Don't open unsolicited emails you weren't expecting) so it is important that you make smart decisions and be cautious when online. This goes back to the whole "use common sense" part. Zero Day attack attacks are called "Zero day" for a reason. There is no signature/patch to protect you. If your anti-malware security program is unable to protect you then it goes back to keeping the best user behavior. Keep in mind, many of the malware (Zero days or not) uses emotional manipulation to make you want to click certain links. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Again, use common sense.
The flipper 0 will shut your internet down with no mods and no technical expertise. Any attachments, like for wifi, can be purchased fully assembled and ready to go.
If someone wanted to as an example, the vacuum mop with wifi, when you run it you can basically make a digital blueprint of there home and know where rooms are located, sometimes use a form of frequencies from other devices like a smart tv, gaming console, computer ect ect to send frequencies to give a digital view of your home and what is inside also Alexa, Siri and hey google can pick up your voice to see who you are then once they see who that person is look into there last visits on the past 2 months, what they buy, there habits ect ect.
Great video, I'm amazed by Ryan's ability to handle complex technologies like cars, access codes, RFIDs, and Wi-Fi systems effortlessly. His skills are truly commendable! Thanks a lot Shawn..
I promise you this guy said nothing that isn't common knowledge to hackers and infosec people, let alone the FBI. Scary music motifs getting you nervous.
Biggest shock to most that are here atleast imo is not that this is possible for a long time with different tools but that this little device is capable of doing it all if you have the knowledge
If you can watch the whole video you should, it's a great interview. I had a pet cam once that I had to request access to their server and it was in China and I tell you I never used that camera. I figured they could turn it on when they wanted and also record audio.
We as the people should get a special fund together to pay guys like this to go in and take down these predators. The government, the rich nor the media will do anything because they’re all protecting each other.
Those are the three largest predators to worry about, and all three are in cahoots. People that set their own pay and work 4 months out of the year have zero incentive to change anything, billionaires shouldn't exist and did not make their own money, and the media is just a propaganda arm
Most crimes are crimes of opportunity and many thieves will go to the lowest hanging fruit first. If you project an "organized quality" and don't draw attention to yourself, your going to be much less likely viewed as low hanging fruit. This and having backup controls in place in the event of theft, common sense things like locking the interior door to your garage, having total loss protection on your car loan so if someone steals your car, you just get a new one. People gaining access to a facility from a key card isn't the concern of a regular citizen but for a facilities manager and they often have backup measures like guards and video surveillance. Also being aware of your surroundings and paying attention to suspicious people is a good thing.
Hackers live for "I dare you" opportunities. Those are hardly low hanging fruit. The low life criminal on the street - yes, be situationally aware. You will never know if/when a hacker has been in, aor back out of your system: or in & out as he pleases if you have a big enough portfolio or crypto wallet.
As to Garage door openers, never leave power to them ! Have a switch inside your home, that supplies power to the Door opener ! It may be an inconvenience, but worth the trouble ! No Power, No Workie ! 👍😉 Faraday Bags can be easily made from the bags that come in Hills Brothers Coffee pouches, made for use in Keurig coffee makers ! Simply place your Key Fob, or even your Cell Phone inside the empty mylar bag, and seal it closed ! The Mylar will seal out radio signals ! Enjoy your Coffee, knowing you have some Security !
If you think that this man represents the top tier of what our country hires for those positions I have some news for you. He is a small fish compared to the people that are hired.
@@theyearwas1473 Aye, I use to hack phones and atm way back in the 90's ... and listen in to using CB Radio ... you hve to have the imagination for it .. encoded electrically? ;)
Yeah, there's a shit ton of stuff out there for getting into places (buildings, bank accounts etc.) you shouldn't. It's the guys who can fabricate new tools to beat new locks, new RFID locking systems etc. that for me are scary. I work in the security industry, and I once, several years ago had a manager that encouraged us (the team on site) to learn nefarious skills, lock picking, pickpocketing, card skimming, malicious social engineering etc. to 'know our enemy' and know the vulnerabilities of our systems and procedures.
Yes, pull the antenna out. You know why that antenna is telescopic? You use it to match the wavelength, just extending it is not how it is supposed to work ;) Extended is for lower frequencies and retracted is for higher frequencies.
I remember when I was younger I had a watch that could link to most TVs and act as a remote control, I lived in an apartment complex, me and some friend would have so much fun changing peoples channels and seeing them wondering if their Tv got possessed.
i guess working in this field has my mind a bit jaded because i was truly surprised at how surprised Shawn was that things i consider simple (and i know have been possible for many years) could be done so easily. now I'm extremely curious if the average person, non-InfoSec professional has the smallest clue how vulnerable pretty much any electronic of theirs is. i feel like i just now realized what i assumed was common knowledge isn't common knowledge at all. it'd probably cause serious panic if everyone instantly became fully informed on this topic
Of course they have no idea. People are barely hanging on as it is. Working round the clock for crappy pay. Now they're expected to be experts in cyber security? Millions will keep losing what savings they have & it will further fray the social fabric, pushing us closer to collapse. And the rich assholes who introduced all this vulnerable tech will flee to their compounds in New Zealand.
Toyota model cars are especially weak against devices like the flipper zero, because the key FOBs don't have a rolling code, even for the newer models. This makes it extremely easy for the flipper zero to record the 2.4 ghz. frequency and be able to emulate the signal to unlock and start the car.
I went into a bar while a playoff basketball game was on. Put a ton of quarters in the jukebox, and picked Chicago’s “You’re the Inspiration.” Walked-out, never looked back. Sometimes the greatest gifts require no hacking at all.
At the end there when he mentioned day zero attacks and how they’re undefendable, he dident say what they were. It’s an attack which uses an exploit that hasn’t been found yet by the company or defendants, first the hacker is the first one to find the exploit, commits a day 0 attack, Google or whoever find out about it, then it’s day 1 where they learn about it and find a way to defend against it. The exploit is found on day 0 as in they are a step ahead of everyone else.
Could we get him back for another podcast to explain the law side of the hacking? Like the investigation on catching hackers for WiFi, credit card, etc.
Honestly most don't get caught because it's considered small potatoes someone who cracks and is surfing off your WiFi isn't exactly anyone's problem except yours. And I've played the game of tracking down credit card thieves before for other people one guy I tracked was literally in a trawler boat off the California coast. They don't bother because the credit card company doesn't care they just write off billions as most are overseas and out of any legal jurisdiction. What you should be more worried about now isn't this common information from a decade ago. I don't have to be in any distance to anyone or anything. Today it's dummy drops (devices configured to run on networks loaded with scripts running nefarious plugins to AI platforms). With these all someone has to do is drop them off at a location say you get wise find three of ten no matter the information is already sent maybe come back recover a few or even not at all if it's risky. I can buy bulk esp32 boards for cheap comes with everything onboard needed ready to program give me a 10000mah power bank and I'll make it run for days.

@@AintSkeerdNWOthere are sooo many seemingly insignificant things of this nature that make the line between totally legal and federal indictment when it comes to InfoSec, it's ridiculous lol
one reason I was destined to work in the Cybersecurity field is because absolutely everything about it is interesting to me. the investigation side that you're wondering about is basically done by other hackers. you could Google "white hat hacking" and "black hat hacking" if you wanted to read more into what I mean. it's literally hackers on each side playing a game of cat & mouse. it can be extremely interesting and almost like a chess game but it can also be MUCH less interesting & much more simple, all depending on how the credit card information or whatever information like that was acquired. for example, a team could launch a phishing campaign against a company they are targeting. a phishing attack is, simply put, most often fraudulent emails that are supposed to look authentic and the goal with it is something like seeming real enough for the person who gets it at the company thinks it's what it appears to be so they download and run the attachment (which provides the attackers with access to an account of the target companies network) or it looks real enough that the person clicks the link which also looks like the legitimate login or whatever so they enter their username & password. but since it wasn't legitimate, that username & password are sent to the attackers instead of logging the person into the site they think they're on. 2 different variations with the same basic goal; acquiring some type of access to the system. once you're in, then you can look for ways available to escalate what level of permissions that account has and/or if other resources on the same network can be accessed. like maybe the person who fell for the fake email was a receptionist with very basic & minimal permissions on their account on that server. so likely won't be able to access much of importance from that account on the initial server access gained to. but you might get able to simple acquire just enough information like theyre running version 1.2.22 of popularwebserver. then you can check Google and see how version 1.2.22 had a flaw where if a certain thing happened a certain way, a basic user would be granted administrator permissions unintentionally. but since the company doesn't want to hire adequate IT staff, they haven't upgraded to version 1.2.23 yet, which fixed that problem. so now the attackers can exploit the flaw that version has that gives them administrator permissions, meaning now they now have full access to full customers data of their 205 million customers. names, addresses, socials, driver's licenses, whatever info they may have. when you see news articles saying a there was a data breach at such & such company and the information for however many million customers was leaked, it possibly could have happened in a manner somewhat similar to what I described. or you could be waiting in line at Walmart to check out and someone like Ryan has the right tools and he just has to wave these device within 6 inches or so of your purse/wallet and it will capture and data on magnetic strips and/or in RFID chips/contactless debit cards
When I was on a active duty, we would x-ray every cable, connector, circuit boards etc. before certifying them for use in our electronic TS COMSEC equipment. NC2 is nothing to mess with and rest on your laurels

As a cybersecurity analyst myself. I'm not where near as elite level hacker as this guy, but I really appreciate seeing my profession being put out there. It's really important and it needs to be said to the world. Cybersecurity and hacking is quickly becoming a cornerstone in the global war and self defense. People need to get over technology anxiety and learn to protect themselves or things are going to get very lawless.
Where did you start?
@@peetruu22 hey there. I started by working for a managed service provider for 3 years as a network engineer so I had the basics of networking, cloud, and coding in power shell, bash, Linux etc. from there I started an apprenticeship in a cybersecurity hacking company nearby as I already had relevant network experience.
@@peetruu22 I'd recommend Udemy. They've got online courses that comes along with certificates. Video based too.

@Star Kicker that's like saying every gun owner is unethical because others are
I've been in law enforcement for 15 years, and I agree with this gentleman. We've started seeing a huge increase of home break ins where the thief's have a signal jammer. These jammers can not only jam cell signals which most alarms now use to communicate with the central alarm company, but also alarm sensors, and even police radios. My guys went to a call and caught the thief before he was able to get away and the officers noticed that non of their radios were working (they couldn't transmit/receive). These devices are getting easier and easier to get. I always recommend a hardwired alarm system when possible. Keep car keys inside faraday bags. We also recently had a home invasion where the homeowners alarm system did not go off because the 4 thief's had a signal jammer that could jam multiple frequencies at the same time.
Was the house specifically targeted, nice area ? Also what state if you don't mind me asking.. or east or west coast if not state. My folks are older & have had some weird things happening with their alarm system & people being caught on ring camera. Just wondering. Be safe out there
@@TimothyMcVay Nevada, nice area yes. I don't recall if the house was targeted or not. In my experience, they usually are. It's very rare they target a house randomly. I remember getting a bulletin from another agency out of state and they're starting to catch these guys with jammers also. In my house my entire alarm is hard wired and has two forms of communication back to central office. Via cell, and internet (hardline) as backup. DO NOT ever get SimpliSafe though. Those are using common ham bands frequencies and a cheap ham radio could bypass them. If you're stuck with a wireless system, the best bet is to get one where the main alarm system will basically send out frequent requests to the sensors asking "are you still there?" If it doesn't get a response (being jammed or low battery) the alarm goes off or alerts you. Lastly I will say that home invasions have been through the roof. To the point where I have never seen in my entire career. Be armed, be prepared at all times. Hopes this helps.

For a SEAL to comment that someone is a dangerous man implies a high level of respect.
Accessing private information from people is extremely dangerous, depending on what you do with it. It can ruin lives and him making this public is hopefully educating the public they can take more precautions to prevent these things from happening
It can also save lives as this guy has done as well
This was a few years ago, but I remember being in a urban SERE class, and the topic for that segment of the class was technology. Biometrics, IR, chemical trackers, bio sensors, RFID, and commercial drones were all talked about. The long and short of it is that you cannot hide. We live in an Era where local militia have abundant access to drones and smart phones. Look at what's happening in Ukraine right now. The next wars will not be fought by soldiers, and war machines. They will be won and decided by men like this young man right here. A man with a keyboard and an internet connection will make other weapons of mass destruction look like children's toys.

Ryan Montgomery knows this better than most. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Pennsylvania-born was one of those computer whiz kids we’ve always heard about, exposed to computers at ten years old, making his way up through the hacker world and putting his skills into online marketing. In his own words, he did exceptionally well in the field.
All was not well, however. Montgomery had also developed a drug addiction. It’s a common enough story, and one we’ve all heard: success mixed with drug abuse. And sure enough, it eventually landed Montgomery in jail.
“That was my rock bottom,” he says. He got into recovery, got clean and sober, and along with Christopher Ferry, helped found the Boca Recovery Center in Florida. “Since then, I’ve put my skills in computers and online marketing to helping others overcome their addiction.”
Skimming through Montgomery’s Instagram is to see a case study in the phrase “life after addiction.” There are all the markers of success: a house, car, lavish dinners with friends. But there is also a clear sense of purpose: photos of him at Boca Recovery, posts about the center’s scholarship program, and a general encouragement that those who need help seek it.
These interview segments with Ryan are obviously alarming, but also very interesting and educational. It gives you a better sense of how these things work and how easily they can be used.
I work in the field so it's it was nothing I wasn't aware of but I found it alarming and informative just how uninformed the average person is on how vulnerable their things are. obviously I didn't expect nurses to be informed to the level I am about MITM attacks (just an example) but I guess stuff like this has become so commonplace to me that im now jaded in terms of what people outside the field are aware of.
seeing how shocked people are in the comments has blown my mind. especially taking into account that nothing he discussed is particularly new either. the compact, all-in-one device things he's using are new-ish but even some of them have been around for several years. what they do has been possible for several more years, just required considerably more hardware making it much awkward to use in the real world. MOST things he talked about I could have done 10+ years ago with my laptop, my code repositories from the time and my various antenna and such sold at any RadioShack lol
We lucky this guy is on our side
Seeing how amazed Shawn is reflects just how little the average person knows about computers. Nothing this guy says is difficult to learn. It all just takes practice. Buying devices, TH-cam tutorials and lots of practice gets a person basic hacking skills. The internet was never meant to be secure anything connected to it can be hacked it’s just that simple.
Nah
He is just baiting
U need to buy extensions and firmware to capitalize the flipper
This is why Bitcoin exists in the first place
I had God eyes book(it was an illegal book)
This book only gave u a hint to hacked surveillance camera or Webcam, not an actual tutorial
He just play good cop and bad cop
Shawn is anything but average....
@@sbyeofficial3325God eyes book? where can I get it?
Hackers are so intriguing to me. Like they could literally do so much wrong, but also they can be used for a lot of good. I guess all depends on the person and their morals.
Yup. Often depends on the individual's moral code & where their interests lie.
Don't know if he went over it in the main video but there are white hats (hack for good, call out vulnerabilities that need fixing, etc...) & black hat (maliciously exploits vulnerabilites of their targets for any number of reasons.) Many switch back & forth between hats as easily as they inhale & exhale.
there are White Hat and Red Hat "hackers", as well as pen testers, penetration testers. They are certified and usually subcontracted by large companies to have another company try to hack in to their computer systems, or access areas or rooms of buildings. They then report the weaknesses to their customer so there are corrections. So some of this knowledge can be quite commonly used for a good and lawful purpose. Then there are ways that you can protect yourself. Such as I can post a link of 2 British car thieves that stole a Mercedes in seconds without even waking the owner by hacking his keyfob. They duplicated his recorded keyfob response to become stronger so the car would recognize it and allow access and driving. It took maybe 10 seconds and they didn't break a window or a sweat.
There are also Anonymous hacktivists that shut down pedophilia and neo-Nazi websites on the dark web. Often they provide information to law enforcement.
And this is just what info of his knowledge and know how that he is sharing!! I bet he is beyond impressive just based on what he's been able to learn on his own.
As someone who has dabbled in this stuff in the past, most serious hackers aren't really motivated by money and they don't really care about a random person's data.
The reason the hack is largely because it's fun. Many of the big hacks that are done by individuals (hacker groups are different) are done because they were bored.
It's not until they get into financial difficulty that they hack for money. Those hacks are usually the easiest to do and quite well known so it's not really that exciting to them.
Shawn, I was a C-130 crewmember in USAF and I was deployed to K2 in November 2001, I’m sure a lot of your friends and guests were there at that time. It’s cool to hear the stories from those early days. This dude is a BOSS, thanks for having him on.
One thing to expand on how to protect yourself, DO NOT “copy and paste” anything on social media. When something is on Facebook, and there’s a blurb at the end that says “copy and paste this to your profile”, DO NOT DO IT! There’s a reason it doesn’t say type this same thing; they want you to copy it to your clipboard because there’s malware imbedded into it.
I doubt that unless there is a link.. but go ahead and try to explain it.. and then 80% confidence I'll go ahead and tell you how you're wrong
@@mikewhit Dude there are all kinds of dumb stories to get dipsticks all wound up... Only yesterday I saw the headline: "Can folded dollar bills on the ground be a danger to you?"
Utter horse-s**t... Or that dumb story how thieves jam plastic bottles in your wheels to make you stop so they can rob you... Just taking advantage of dummies that don't know any better...
@@mikewhit You can most certainly write html code to change what is copied to your clipboard, not just links but plain text as well. Can that be used to alter the link you think you copied so when you paste it in it links to a completely different place ...sure. There is a very simple writeup on bleeping computer , mind you it is specifically written using the example of you copy pasting something from a website into a cli which is obviously different... I'm just pointing out that it is possible.
Yes I understand the context of what he is saying as it relates to a link on facebook, and yes I realize it's a different scenario in that writeup , just providing proof of concept.
@@driklol ok but again running anything in CLI is generally running, "root level" access to your browser.. most social media websites only allow plaintext or emoji and sanitize any links or similar.. i am sure FB blocks most XSS vectors..
pro's dislike when guys show up on syndicated youtube's (the video itself, not these comments even) showing hobby level stuff lol.. talk to me about weird buffer overflow exploits using some kind of weird unicode holes and then i am interested 🙃 but i think most of this stuff is beaten by sanitization
expertise is often just a mindset that is believed by an observer.. i work among many charlatans and frauds
@@mikewhit I agree, and again was just showing some proof of concept there. I wont disagree that example was a very specific use case where someone would have to have a minimal understanding of what they were doing over all , but it's not that far fetched. Just trying to point out that what he was saying is possible albeit his example is likely doing something different than what he thinks it is.
Unfortunate that you work with a lot of frauds, hopefully you can use that as an example to train and educate the people around you better than they have.

the absolut coolest guy ever thats been on Shawn Ryan show, He is using all his skills in good intentions, and he is a preditor hunter to! 🙏👍
in the early 1990s, before I had turned 10 years old, my parents bought us a home computer. we weren't some of the earliest to have a home computer but we definitely had one before they started becoming commonplace. for example, when we got ours, literally only 1 other person I knew had a computer at home. about a year after getting it, we had to 'upgrade' to the first widely used version of Windows (Windows 3.1 which came before Windows 95). I instantly became deeply fascinated and my inner geek was activated. before I was 12, I'd learned 2-4 different programming languages from books checked out from the library.
my point is that I get vibes from Ryan that he shares that interest in these things that goes deeper than just doing it as a job. he's considerably younger (more intelligent & more successful as well) than I am but as I'd expect most higher level professionals in our field of work, I am capable of doing everything he mentioned being able to do with those devices. those devices basically make a nice, small, well organized toolbox consisting of the things needed to communicate over the most commonly used frequencies & protocols as well as the ability to load custom code (the actual attacks or exploit itself would be the code, the antenna & such just make it so the code is transmitted the right way).
anyhow, I can't help but smile at the fact that a frickin Navy SEAL, one of the most well trained, toughest in every possible conceivable way, what is more or less the most effective, efficient, & professional instrument of warfare repeatedly telling Ryan "you're a dangerous man" because he is capable of doing things that I am also capable of doing lol. it's pretty wild to me. it's a pretty commonly shared belief that
I'm pretty sure the recipe to creating Navy SEALs is taking a group of humans who already have beyond elite levels of intelligence, physical/mental strength as well as endurance & perseverance and you somehow increase those qualities even more. then you put more badassery than 5 human should ever be able to contain and put it into each individual SEAT cadet. the small few who are capable of containing this absurd level of badassery without their meat suits literally exploding are what we refer to as the Navy SEALs. the human embodiment of badassery. fuck around and find out if it were a human being. a Navy fuckin SEAL, what you would see in a thesaurus under 'dangerous man' is telling Ryan he's a dangerous man for having skills and knowledge that I also have.
it's a bit of an ego boost for me tbh haha. especially with Shawn because being a SEAL is only the first line of a very long list of his Ph.D in badassery credentials
I'm no nerd but this definitely is a dangerous man that's on our side.I would love to learn some of this but again I'm far from a nerd so no worries here.I'm lucky I can use my phone nevermind this stuff.
I used to think I was crafty by changing the channel on peoples TV's or opening their garage door trying different codes on a remote, but the stuff people have access to these days is really scary.
I saw a video where iPhones were taking pictures of people every 1-5 seconds. You can't see it unless you have an infrared camera. I do have an infrared camera and decided to do this experiment. It indeed was taking pictures of me! Sometimes the flashes were going off several times a second.

Best way to get in to the cyberspace is, certifications+ competitions+ ofc a job. Certs General mix theory and hands on, some of the early on ones are mostly theory - waln before you run type logic. Competitions - ctfs/rvb events, are hands on practice and help with application in a non linear environment. And a job is a job not much to say there.

escalation in difficulty just gives hackers a h@rd-on.
This guy literally looks like what a hacker in a movie would look like. His knowledge is crazy
Shawn we need a live Q&A with Ryan please! Great interview but I still have soooo many extra questions I need answering!
That term "IOT," stands for "Internet of Things," and I think some of what he mentions is about how radiowaves, specific frequencies, can send waves to coffee makers, refrigerators, Bluetooth devices, etc. to activate a device--a thing--in the IOT. Ring doorbells are a very common IOT. I hope this man returns to the show.
Old turntables aren't just for sentimental ambiance...
You watch Sabrina Wallace?
That FlipperZero thing has been popping up on TH-cam shorts A LOT recently. I'm glad you had this this fellow on the show
I knew about the Flip before TH-cam shorts, shit. Before yt itself
@@thomaskonradyjr1142you’re so cool.
@@thomaskonradyjr1142idk how. Yt is older than the flipper by 15 years.
@@jaryd_yarid ok😂😂you are right lil one...haha
Unreal……this episode shocked me in ways of understanding how vulnerable we are……..
1. Use a password manager. Make sure your passwords are long and complex.
2. Install an anti-virus program (and make sure that it is up to date).
3. Use an RFID blocking wallet and make use an RFID shield for your keyfob.
4. Be careful of unsafe websites.
5. Use common sense.
Are you a cyber security professional?
I'd disagree on using a password manager. They are being hacked. A good example of this is LastPass. I wouldn't trust storing passwords in a password vault anymore.
What about zero day?
@@youtubeshortsareamazing_. User behavior is a large part of staying safe online (example: Don't open unsolicited emails you weren't expecting) so it is important that you make smart decisions and be cautious when online. This goes back to the whole "use common sense" part.
Zero Day attack attacks are called "Zero day" for a reason. There is no signature/patch to protect you. If your anti-malware security program is unable to protect you then it goes back to keeping the best user behavior. Keep in mind, many of the malware (Zero days or not) uses emotional manipulation to make you want to click certain links. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Again, use common sense.
The flipper 0 will shut your internet down with no mods and no technical expertise. Any attachments, like for wifi, can be purchased fully assembled and ready to go.
What a legend. What legends. This was a special one. Keep it up brother. You guys rock.
If someone wanted to as an example, the vacuum mop with wifi, when you run it you can basically make a digital blueprint of there home and know where rooms are located, sometimes use a form of frequencies from other devices like a smart tv, gaming console, computer ect ect to send frequencies to give a digital view of your home and what is inside also Alexa, Siri and hey google can pick up your voice to see who you are then once they see who that person is look into there last visits on the past 2 months, what they buy, there habits ect ect.
Great video, I'm amazed by Ryan's ability to handle complex technologies like cars, access codes, RFIDs, and Wi-Fi systems effortlessly. His skills are truly commendable! Thanks a lot Shawn..
When he pulled out the water bottle I was like nooway he can hack that🤣🤣
Wow. I’m an older dude & low tech by choice. This confirms everything I have suspected. Amazingly stealthy shit. The size of an old transistor radio!
This one guy seems to be smarter than the whole FBI like what the hell everyday I feel like the system is more currupt
I promise you this guy said nothing that isn't common knowledge to hackers and infosec people, let alone the FBI. Scary music motifs getting you nervous.
Biggest shock to most that are here atleast imo is not that this is possible for a long time with different tools but that this little device is capable of doing it all if you have the knowledge
If you can watch the whole video you should, it's a great interview.
I had a pet cam once that I had to request access to their server and it was in China and I tell you I never used that camera. I figured they could turn it on when they wanted and also record audio.
We as the people should get a special fund together to pay guys like this to go in and take down these predators. The government, the rich nor the media will do anything because they’re all protecting each other.
There are. It's called Pen testing.
Those are the three largest predators to worry about, and all three are in cahoots. People that set their own pay and work 4 months out of the year have zero incentive to change anything, billionaires shouldn't exist and did not make their own money, and the media is just a propaganda arm
Most crimes are crimes of opportunity and many thieves will go to the lowest hanging fruit first. If you project an "organized quality" and don't draw attention to yourself, your going to be much less likely viewed as low hanging fruit. This and having backup controls in place in the event of theft, common sense things like locking the interior door to your garage, having total loss protection on your car loan so if someone steals your car, you just get a new one. People gaining access to a facility from a key card isn't the concern of a regular citizen but for a facilities manager and they often have backup measures like guards and video surveillance. Also being aware of your surroundings and paying attention to suspicious people is a good thing.
Hackers live for "I dare you" opportunities. Those are hardly low hanging fruit. The low life criminal on the street - yes, be situationally aware. You will never know if/when a hacker has been in, aor back out of your system: or in & out as he pleases if you have a big enough portfolio or crypto wallet.
I think it’s cool that you’re looking at a different kind of person in this interview.
Super cool hearing about things I've never heard. I've always loved learning, especially from ppl who are passionate.
As to Garage door openers, never leave power to them !
Have a switch inside your home, that supplies power to the Door opener !
It may be an inconvenience, but worth the trouble !
No Power, No Workie !
👍😉
Faraday Bags can be easily made from the bags that come in Hills Brothers Coffee pouches, made for use in Keurig coffee makers !
Simply place your
Key Fob, or even your Cell Phone inside the empty mylar bag, and seal it closed !
The Mylar will seal out radio signals !
Enjoy your Coffee, knowing you have some Security !
Great Guest!! Unassuming but a savage in his own way.
The fact that this guy has not been hired by an intelligence agency should tell you so much about what "our" intelligence agencies really are doing
TRUST ME THIS IS CHILDS PLAY FOR THEM
@@saringaclose JUST LOOK AT WHAT NASA DOSE ... ;)
@@saringaclose KEEP YOUR SMART-PHONE IS SIDE A MICRO WAVE ... WHEN NOT IN USE ... ;)
If you think that this man represents the top tier of what our country hires for those positions I have some news for you.
He is a small fish compared to the people that are hired.
@@theyearwas1473 Aye, I use to hack phones and atm way back in the 90's ... and listen in to using CB Radio ... you hve to have the imagination for it .. encoded electrically? ;)
Yeah, there's a shit ton of stuff out there for getting into places (buildings, bank accounts etc.) you shouldn't. It's the guys who can fabricate new tools to beat new locks, new RFID locking systems etc. that for me are scary. I work in the security industry, and I once, several years ago had a manager that encouraged us (the team on site) to learn nefarious skills, lock picking, pickpocketing, card skimming, malicious social engineering etc. to 'know our enemy' and know the vulnerabilities of our systems and procedures.
The intelligence to be able to do this must be colossal.
Respect.
Meh not really. The real intelligence comes from designing and building the devices that do the work.
@@criostasisagreed. Any individual can learn the commands and tools available.
I rejected the "internet of things" immediately and my suspicions have been validated over and again.
Everything can be hacked, if there's a technology for something, there's a counterpart for it.
Emf waves
Yee Haw, yippy-kai-yeah, mF-ers...
Except quantum communication. That cannot be hacked.
As a network engineer. I never got into into this. Kind of wish I had.
Yes, pull the antenna out.
You know why that antenna is telescopic? You use it to match the wavelength, just extending it is not how it is supposed to work ;)
Extended is for lower frequencies and retracted is for higher frequencies.
I remember when I was younger I had a watch that could link to most TVs and act as a remote control, I lived in an apartment complex, me and some friend would have so much fun changing peoples channels and seeing them wondering if their Tv got possessed.
i guess working in this field has my mind a bit jaded because i was truly surprised at how surprised Shawn was that things i consider simple (and i know have been possible for many years) could be done so easily. now I'm extremely curious if the average person, non-InfoSec professional has the smallest clue how vulnerable pretty much any electronic of theirs is. i feel like i just now realized what i assumed was common knowledge isn't common knowledge at all.
it'd probably cause serious panic if everyone instantly became fully informed on this topic
What if nichola tesla still alive when the internet come to fruitation ?
Of course they have no idea. People are barely hanging on as it is. Working round the clock for crappy pay. Now they're expected to be experts in cyber security? Millions will keep losing what savings they have & it will further fray the social fabric, pushing us closer to collapse. And the rich assholes who introduced all this vulnerable tech will flee to their compounds in New Zealand.
Thats what us regular folks need dangerous an moral men to guide us. Yes we do love those who can guide
Righteously.❤
Whats wild is this is probably one of the most dangerous people hes had on his show
Ryan's creed must be "speak code and carry a big antenna"
This guy ignites my enthusiasm for this stuff 🪶
Toyota model cars are especially weak against devices like the flipper zero, because the key FOBs don't have a rolling code, even for the newer models. This makes it extremely easy for the flipper zero to record the 2.4 ghz. frequency and be able to emulate the signal to unlock and start the car.
Sure! 😂
I saw where someone hacked a Tuscaloosa sports bar juke box last year after Tennessee’s big win against Alabama and played ‘Rocky Top’ all night 😂
I went into a bar while a playoff basketball game was on. Put a ton of quarters in the jukebox, and picked Chicago’s “You’re the Inspiration.” Walked-out, never looked back.
Sometimes the greatest gifts require no hacking at all.
"Why does a Vacuum Mop have wifi capability" Haha. Great question
Lord please protect both of these good souls 🙏
This guy is awesome, I would love to learn from him.
i have not watched a full video since ages but this one i watched it all.
This man needs to be protected at all costs
Shall we unleash the hounds?
Cringe
Send him at Biden 👍🏿👍🏿
At the end there when he mentioned day zero attacks and how they’re undefendable, he dident say what they were. It’s an attack which uses an exploit that hasn’t been found yet by the company or defendants, first the hacker is the first one to find the exploit, commits a day 0 attack, Google or whoever find out about it, then it’s day 1 where they learn about it and find a way to defend against it. The exploit is found on day 0 as in they are a step ahead of everyone else.
Could we get him back for another podcast to explain the law side of the hacking? Like the investigation on catching hackers for WiFi, credit card, etc.
Honestly most don't get caught because it's considered small potatoes someone who cracks and is surfing off your WiFi isn't exactly anyone's problem except yours. And I've played the game of tracking down credit card thieves before for other people one guy I tracked was literally in a trawler boat off the California coast. They don't bother because the credit card company doesn't care they just write off billions as most are overseas and out of any legal jurisdiction. What you should be more worried about now isn't this common information from a decade ago. I don't have to be in any distance to anyone or anything. Today it's dummy drops (devices configured to run on networks loaded with scripts running nefarious plugins to AI platforms). With these all someone has to do is drop them off at a location say you get wise find three of ten no matter the information is already sent maybe come back recover a few or even not at all if it's risky. I can buy bulk esp32 boards for cheap comes with everything onboard needed ready to program give me a 10000mah power bank and I'll make it run for days. Luckily I'm a maker and have too numerous better things to do then anything illegal but I still keep sharp on what current threats exist.
"It's illegal to send, but not to receive" - Pro Tip.
@@AintSkeerdNWOthere are sooo many seemingly insignificant things of this nature that make the line between totally legal and federal indictment when it comes to InfoSec, it's ridiculous lol
one reason I was destined to work in the Cybersecurity field is because absolutely everything about it is interesting to me. the investigation side that you're wondering about is basically done by other hackers. you could Google "white hat hacking" and "black hat hacking" if you wanted to read more into what I mean. it's literally hackers on each side playing a game of cat & mouse.
it can be extremely interesting and almost like a chess game but it can also be MUCH less interesting & much more simple, all depending on how the credit card information or whatever information like that was acquired.
for example, a team could launch a phishing campaign against a company they are targeting. a phishing attack is, simply put, most often fraudulent emails that are supposed to look authentic and the goal with it is something like seeming real enough for the person who gets it at the company thinks it's what it appears to be so they download and run the attachment (which provides the attackers with access to an account of the target companies network) or it looks real enough that the person clicks the link which also looks like the legitimate login or whatever so they enter their username & password. but since it wasn't legitimate, that username & password are sent to the attackers instead of logging the person into the site they think they're on.
2 different variations with the same basic goal; acquiring some type of access to the system. once you're in, then you can look for ways available to escalate what level of permissions that account has and/or if other resources on the same network can be accessed. like maybe the person who fell for the fake email was a receptionist with very basic & minimal permissions on their account on that server. so likely won't be able to access much of importance from that account on the initial server access gained to. but you might get able to simple acquire just enough information like theyre running version 1.2.22 of popularwebserver. then you can check Google and see how version 1.2.22 had a flaw where if a certain thing happened a certain way, a basic user would be granted administrator permissions unintentionally. but since the company doesn't want to hire adequate IT staff, they haven't upgraded to version 1.2.23 yet, which fixed that problem. so now the attackers can exploit the flaw that version has that gives them administrator permissions, meaning now they now have full access to full customers data of their 205 million customers. names, addresses, socials, driver's licenses, whatever info they may have.
when you see news articles saying a there was a data breach at such & such company and the information for however many million customers was leaked, it possibly could have happened in a manner somewhat similar to what I described.
or you could be waiting in line at Walmart to check out and someone like Ryan has the right tools and he just has to wave these device within 6 inches or so of your purse/wallet and it will capture and data on magnetic strips and/or in RFID chips/contactless debit cards
Just found this channel today and this episode right here was 🔥🔥
Thank God he’s on our side. Protect him at all costs.
If your going to start a group of criminals you definitely need a couple of these guys on the squad 😂
That’s why the fbi has them
Those guys don't need to join gang squad. They "work" quietly themselves and they are happy.
They should do a movie on this guy and casey affleck should play him
He should play himself his awesome
After the guest talked about the Filipper - he showed another gadget (the black one) - was it the HackRF one device?
When I was on a active duty, we would x-ray every cable, connector, circuit boards etc. before certifying them for use in our electronic TS COMSEC equipment. NC2 is nothing to mess with and rest on your laurels
