Yeah, this was super rough. I regret giving this as a talk because there just wasn’t enough content. Read the blog post instead, save 30 minutes, and you won’t have to listen to me say “like” 5,000 times 😄
Hey man. You don't get better by not trying. We all see the shitty parts that no one else does. You're good, keep at it. You got to speak at fucking defcon. That's some good shit
I thought it was fine, it just sounded conversational so my mind hasn't really even noticed those conversational words sprinkled in. It's not jarring cause it just sounds natural. It would be a lot more weird if you were specifically avoiding saying "like" and as a result sounding unnatural. Your talk was funny and I felt like you were just chatting with us which made it so much easier to engage with. I remember when your write up on this first came out, this whole situation is wild af. Thank you for covering this
Respect for being in the comments of your own talk and not insulting everyone who criticised the talk. I can imagine it was rough giving the talk knowing you were lacking in content for a 20-45 minute talk.
Only as big as Internet and computer networks... you know... so some kids will be unable to play Fortnite or Quake, no big deal... right? I think I read/heard one philosopher and computer scientist pondering about our current civilization and past ones and he closed the topic with nice quote: Those who live by the digit should prepare to die by the digit.
Same thing back in the 80's a British Telecom auditor found that MI5 had their own backdoor into every exchange in the country. For some reason an exchange operator tipped him off about lots of calls to French Guiana... and when he found the breach the top-dog at B.T. got told by his boss to sweep it under the rug etc.
Bro out here lowkey warning us of remote managed modems/ioTs. Now, him not just taking the modem and telling the ISP he lost it is just low level social and the fact we have no physical device that is directly affected places into question whether there was ever a modem to begin. Used to spend time on DOCSIS modems, exploits for modems see to not have changed much. For DOCSIS 1, 2 and even 3, SNMP was the backdoor and now the same goes for TR-069. So remote management means exactly that, anyone remotely can and will manage the device, in this case, the actual pipeline to the cloud.
Before watching video and trying to give (uneducated) answers. The hacker whose modem got hacked - who hacked their modem. The most likely culprits. 1. Just a kid or person looking for free items, such as free internet or content. 2. Someone looking further; for passwords, for limited financial data, or maybe the full financial data. 3. A former relationship? 4. Current or former employee/coworker? Let’s now watch it and see where it goes. What I may have seen in the past… This is why hard line hackers actually replace their hardware on a regular basis
I live in Norway and rooted my isp's router, and see its sending all kind of encrypted data to some server in usa too . i am not a fan.. anyone knows what the name of the attack he used to mix the routers mac and different values to break into the isp's other customers routers was ? I imagine i can do the same up here in Norway if i have ,, a easy bash script generating the values, calculating the payload,, sending it off with some bash script even. There was some research done on this years ago regarding breaking the wifi password of peoples router if you had the mac address, this is another topic maybe but, still it might be exactly the same code that will calculate my encrypted string to send off with a bash script to enumerate my neighbors networks ? I got a old router that i tricked out of my isp , they'r new routers are much harder to root and control like the guy the video talks about when he gets questions from isp lady in end of video. I am hardly allowed to change wifi password without explicitly asking my isp to do so, and i can forget about custom firewall rules. I am "forced" to sit on my old vulnerable router from 1995 if i want to have my own firewall rules. All just so my dear isp's have a backdoor channel in for state authority's to snoop they'r data.
@@TomTom-gx1sm You'r mixing things up. i never claim or ask if is 'a password to remotely control the router' or any router. You might wanna put your glasses on if you wanna contribute. I will admit my comment was not very clear or complete looking in ending but,, i will edit it to make it more clear.
There is no name for that attack, other then reverse engineering. Look through the actively running processes and try to analyze their launch binaries. He saw encrypted stuff, found encryption/decryption functions, and used those to encrypt his own data putting it in the format of a command for the ISP bot net. All just guesses and trying things.
Is anyone out there who’s not making and shipping hilariously vulnerable critical devices or a playa now gotta run a syslog server and a SIEM for his crib ? 😂😂
this is like a joke right? I am just falling in this rabbit hole. but this exact story i heard yesterday but different. Is this like a weird cult coder copa pasta meme? How I accidently made a botnet..

Oh, and one more thing: Ma, Pa, or any ol anybody, can help themselves to accomplish any and all fuckery with most every consumer product connected to the internet.
Exactly, shit threw me off. I want to know what happens but I do not want to hear "like" every 5 words for the remainder of the video and I got fed up with the "like"s 7 minutes in.
This topic woukd be more interesting if the speaker could "like" actually deliver a presentation and be cool...right. just like it could be better. Things like that would improve audience engagement.
Damn, like, that’s pretty cool & I’ve liked always wanted to know how to do something like this cause like all my emails are full of spam & like all my social medias send me like attempt to login texts/emails. It’s super like fucking annoying. And if I could like just learn how to like figure out like who/how they’re doing it so I could like return the favor, I’d like make this my full time focus and then like create a business out of it to like hack & spam for everyone else who like deals with the same like problem, right. So, right like if anyone like knows how to do this right & could teach me, right, like I’d be willing to like pay, right. So, like, feel free to reach out like right. Right?

That's how you get better, don't regret it. If it wasn't good enough, then Defcon wouldn't have put you up there to begin with
I enjoyed it. Didn't find it rough, and it's in at least the top 50% of defcon talks.
Gotta love this guy. Amazing talk.
Am I going crazy or was there a similar talk regarding the whole HTTP replaying in a local network thing?!
Yeah I'm sure I've heard that part before. Maybe he's done a talk earlier
Yes!!!! Same here! I can't figure out where but I KNOW I've seen this before 😂
Oh I found it, Low Level Learning did a video about it
Often these groups present at more than one conference
@@CJ1337HF ah yes, that's the one. Thanks for figuring that out
Interesting talk, shed some light on remote modem management. I didn't know about TR 069. Thanks!
I'd seen it before on some router logs but wasn't really sure of it's purpose
This is a bigger problem than a lot of people even realize.....

That modem is the same exact modem Comcast used to use. I think Comcast is on to the XB3 now and that one was the XB2, or something like that.

So how would we protect against a modem attack

Wtf I did not recognize Sam Curry, he's now a grown up, haha.
Over this talk he said 4967 words, 413 of them were the word "like" which is 8.31% of his entire speech. It`s, like, crazy
Drove me nuts listening to it.
He's prolly from California lololol
well, you better tell him to go to "Toastmasters" training
"And it's like ok you know like" xD
like, right?
Excellent.

You're mixing up things.
Wifi passwords were generated using the mac address, it isn't a password to remotely configure the router.

@@seansingh4421 you should be doing that anyway
yeah. so elite. but it's not hard to access a modem. you only need to have the last 6 digits of the MAC address.
Every other word was “like”.
Maybe he found the gubment backdoor?
#1 rule - never ever use the ISP modem)router.
this is like a joke right?

How I accidently made a botnet..
"Not enought content"......nonsense, I thought it was a great talk !!
Basebands suck!
Get over it!!!
But modems have been vulnerable for years. It seems nobody also changes their default pw, which is also a problem.
People here complaining about his use of “like” but he is too busy talking at DEFCON and hacking things you don’t even comprehend. So STFU.
I don't comprehend...
Actually, I do. Sit down.
@@chrisalister2297 you sit down old man

Not a great speaker. Super knowledgeable, but doesn’t know how to deliver information in a succinct manner.
How do you like working with cox... lmao
recorded whole talk using Samsung s24u and summarized, there is 3451 times LIKE said...
like... you could have looked at the transcript from... like... YT, you know? like... it's a lot easier.
Hard to listen for long when it's "like" all the time 😂😂
half the runtime is "like"
please work on removing filler words, for the sake of the sanity of your surrounding
people are complaining about his use of "like", but, like, he needed some way to stretch this out to 25 minutes.
