This tutorial was so helpful! I struggled with this concept for so long, but now I finally understand. Thank you!
when you’re punished for trying to show the truth, you know you’re being ruled by the criminals
Depends what side you are on
Facts, you worded perfectly, word by word on what my motivation is on acquiring the cia's military documents, it's the truth
Ngl, this is the first time I've actually seen that used correctly, and not just by someone who got in trouble for saying something extremely homophobic or antisemitic.
No doubt about it! In the US the truth is illegal and the lie is circulated as truth
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
I love how this kid hacked into a college,and the first thing he did remove the student loans
He should have developed his career in cybersecurity instead of ending up in prison and broke for the rest of his life...always consequences to your actions
@@projectsspecial9224 fr bro had potential he was smart
@@projectsspecial9224Many of these hackers get job offers for the CIA themselves so he didn’t lose anything. And what your saying is that we keep government fking us over without any sort of punishment
@@projectsspecial9224so many lives are fked over because of student loans there is no fking reason why IT SHOULD GO OVER 100k IN STUDENT LOANS the cost of education is crazy and for simple degrees at that Medical school is understandable but Art majors and English cmon man
@@EvelinMartin-xt8vyShouldn't borrow money that you can't pay back
I don’t understand what they’re doing is a crime when the government themselves commit the same thing.
“Rules for thee, not for me”
It's called legitimate power. Elected officials are supposed to act on behalf of everyone else and do things they can't do in order to improve their lives. You can argue all you want about legal vs illegal but its hard to say the government was acting solely in bad faith when they were generally acting as people said they would and basically knew they would once the Patriot Act etc was passed.
Because the state does not like competition.
@@ThatonedudeCR12956Glowies aren't democtatically elected. They regulate themselves.
It’s because they don’t own a monopoly on violence. If they did - they’d be the government

These teenagers probably are 100x cleaner than the gov. They just wanted to help shape a world that they wanted to live in.
I love how despite it being horrible, his first idea was to just destroy student loan debts, thats great
That alone makes him stand out
You should watch Mr Robot
I mean not really. The institutions need that money to operate. What? You want then to oah the teachers even less? Or simply not hire cleaners? Or maybe no security guards? Maybe not competent security locks or doors. Come on now.. Yeah it's easy to say "Student Debt Bad" but remember, there's actual human beings on the other side of the transaction as well.

@@sulisueeeeee0553I don’t know. Being aware of the fact that you’re friend is responsible for all of the chaos… even though you may find it justified, can lead to a great amount of guilt building up. Your keeping a secret that could be responsible for people’s deaths. (Think of the leaked FBI-agents. Some of them may have been undercover)
That’s not something everyone would want to handle. Or should. Or could.
I can understand taking their electronics. House arrest. Maybe even huge fines. But prison for a kid just bc he OUTSMARTED them for so long, is bullshit.
Stupid, what are you saying, the kid hacked millions of money, it's like a bank robbery, and yet you say that a few years is so long for them just because they are kids?
@AzadShahin-cu7nr absolutely. They do not have the capacity to forsee the ramifications of what they thought were all fun and games. Yes they knew it was wrong and it was big but their minds didn't leave the fun of the game behind the computer.
If they didn't punish them in the confines of the law, that would leave the door open for any kid to do the same without ramifications.
@@shanelamontagne7334 they should be punished without a doubt. Not to that extent.

That initial phone call really cracks me up.... it's so juvenile yet so perfect
Calling and saying "You're an f-ing loser" to a random person is just mean, but saying to the head of the CIA is amazing.
I honestly like a lot of his comments over the phone lol.
I laughed so hard, I rewinded it 🤣🤣. And he demanded 5 trillion dollars 😆. He was probably high as a kite.
Jesus loves yall, died for us, and rose again! Jesus calls for all of us to repent! He's coming back.
Wow, I never knew about this topic until I stumbled upon this video. It's so interesting and well-explained!
I find it absolutely hilarious that some random nerd sitting in his bedroom can hack a whole government. Like how do they expect to maintain cyber security against their enemies when they cant fend off a few computer savvy kids?
It's like they say in IT- when everything works, management wonders what they even keep sysadmins around for. When things break they wonder why they keep sysadmins around if things break anyway...
They don’t have enemies. They’re the terrorists that they tell us about
It's almost like it's just a lie used to justify spying on you
They should be rewarded 😂
The 2000s were a pretty weird time for cybersecurity. It was becoming increasingly better supported and understood, but you were still coming out of a relative degree of innocence and naivete due to how recent it all was. Laws had yet to fully catch up, security practices were very much still being figured out, and generally it was just a weaker time.
It's also a constant game of attack and defense, what it looks like today vs 2008 are wildly different because of this. A lot of it involved making lower level agencies (Possibly with their own rules and policies, often weaker or poorly implemented) come in line with mandatory standards and practices. It's not infallible, but it does a lot.
I love how this kid has a poster of a game on his wall, and a Lego figure on his shelf 6 years before they released.
hacking back than was way easier, unpatched servers was everywhere unprotected directly on internet
Whether you believe what the did was right or wrong you can't deny they had good intentions. Neither of them were in it for personal gain, in fact, they had everything to lose.
Doubt they legitimately cared. It was likely for clout and attention
Yeah they cheat through shortcuts to achieve their good intentions
Maybe
But deleting college debt is only good nothing bad happens from that@@jtgd
Leaking the details of 20,000 federal employees was wrong. I don't care about the head of the FBI or CIA getting messed with, but leaking employees details is fucked up. They're just lower ranked officers following orders.
@@MRJMXHDyeah and if it's wrong for their information to be stolen and given out to others they don't want having that information it's wrong for the federal government to do the same to its citizens or the citizens of foreign countries. They are complicit in helping this surveillance state we live in operate, any one of them could take actions against it like Snowden did, but they don't. If you're actively complicit with evil actions, it doesn't matter if you were "just following orders", you are helping this type of evil prevail and you are partially responsible. Every person has the power to change the world around them and make a difference in it, the fact they don't use theirs to help oppose this surveillance state especially when they're in a much better position to than most people, is all on them. They reaped what they sowed.

@@mlbp2567 how is it ridiculous? he has been hacked either way so going under cover is protocol.
The fact that two teenagers are raided by internationally regarded law enforcement globally for the embarrassment of a top-tier federal agent, then given years in a juvinile detention center and federal prison respectively, shows just how insecure the Criminal justice system in the US is.
Imaging the phone call John Brennan gave to the (assumed) NCA, about a top tier, anonymous hacker, dangerous to the national security of the United States and its allies. And it is a high as hell teenager.
They have been proved to be doing illegal sh*t relentlessly times but power is a crazy tool.

You have the mind of a child.
Hard to cover all bases when you have 500 of them globally and are a massive police state with 25% of the worlds incacerated population despite being only 2% of global population. Also hard to convince anyone both intelligent and good to work for you if you are openly doing that.
Major props!
The way you looped the incogni ad into the storyline to where it actually made sense/went along with what was being discussed at that point in the video, was genius. I normally fast forward when someone does an ad mid video because it just randomly breaks up the video with an off-topic ad but I legit thought it was part of the video where you were just mentioning a way to try to protect your data (obviously there is no way to 100% protect it, but its better than doing nothing) until you mentioned that if people put "fern/tv" they'll get a discount. You got my ass. Major props.
NOTE: I'm typing this mid-video after that part just passed and so far, great fucking video. I threw you a follow
Love your videos. I can see there was a lot of effort put into these videos and I respect you for that. Keep up the good work bro.
Its crazy to me that these crimes gets u longer sentences in jail than some rapists…fucked up system
These hackers get a high chance into working for the CIA themselves. The reason rapist isn’t even valued much more of a crime than murders is because if they did that than they would be outing themselves which many officials and higher ups do.
Cause u dont need any special ability to rape someone while hacking government facilities does.
@@EvelinMartin-xt8vyso they don’t give rapists higher sentences because the people making the laws are child molesters themselves? Horrible
it's really interesting how cracka's passion was toward a war that is still going on to this day. i hope there will be someone like him raising so much awareness in the near future.
Its a genocide made by israel against palestinians
On god. It's crazy there are literally millions being bombed because of Some1s greed n power. Fuck, even the US don't care about its own citizens. They will make sure they suffer just so the rich can get richer and hoard on to their wealth. CIA has been of doing illegal shit many times but power is a crazy tool.

Also, thanks for covering this!

It’s not about the level of crime but the level of embarrassment perceived by authority that dictates the punishment. The most fragile thing is the ego of those in power.
I agree, I would add that its not just about the ego of individual in power. But its also about the face of an institution in power. Posturing is resource relied upon heavily for displaying power. So when weakness and vulnerability is revealed in an institution that relies on its image of power. It causes said institution to have extreme condemning response as a display to refortify its image of powerfulness.
Bingo
They HATE when you make fools of them and expose them of their weaknesses and corruption, not about the data or information.. At.. All.. It's purely That and that gets you life in prison 😂 obviously that does not persuade future from people doing the same thing but it has happened less since Snowden
💯😊
Yeah, imagine if they actually went out and congratulated the hackers for doing them a service. Then I'm sure more people would try to hack for them to better our security. Instead they punish these people which just causes more hackers to be against them. Yes, punish those who are a threat and directly against us, but acknowledge those helping us.
This is by far the best visuals of any of your videos. I'm loving the progress!
I agree! Insane! 😮❤

"He never logs in to his own WI-FI" might be the most hacker thing I've ever heard
This was a lie. D3f4ult started running around spreading lies to make him seem like some super leet hacker. He was never in CWA and he never worked with them. All he done was beg and make harassing phone calls to Brennan. D3f4ult has been abusing the fact the US government mistakenly named him as a CWA member to try garner attention for himself. He had terrible OpSec and the whole satellite dish thing was made up. He logged into his Twitter and Facebook with his home IP.
The most concerning thing of all this is that the head of the CIA is still using AOL in 2019. That alone tells me that he is highly highly incapable of being an intelligence head. Only people that use AOL are 60+ year olds that don't know how to open up an email
Every hacker bro has a "i had a hard drive with 50 bitcoin on it. But it got lost when my dads bothers, sisters, cousins, dog chewed it up and I lost the data" story they always tell other people.

Currently writing a 20-page essay on the topic of face recognition software used in danish public survaillence. Suddenly, it's really understandable why so many civilrights movements fear it, while government officials and politicians support the idea. As a dane, it worries me that the danish government did'nt set legal boundaries for use of face recognition, even after the AI-Act in the EU.
Just look at china. Dissidents caught daily from their taobao account. From their own phone and cctv in their local place
When someone steal your Face data from a gov server, you are screwed. They have you Face, so they will have you. And Deepsfakes are only the beginning.

Years ago, this kid knew gaza was a place meanwhile i heard it first on oct.
Can confirm - was going to start work at Gartner and had a snoop around their clients as they gave full access to their db quite quickly. Found NSO group stuff and asked if I would be allowed to refuse to work with a client if I didn’t agree with their human rights record. All access was swiftly revoked and I was booted out supposedly because they were afraid I would leak/disclose information I didn’t morally agree with.
They had a whole project helping NSO group develop a US gov proprietary version of Pegasus. This was in 2022
Yeah, modern internet surveillance is so fucked up. Like I’m a normie and it’s actually so fucking scary to think about stuff like that. The fact that any government (or stoned teenager for that matter) in the world can just spy on me or everyone else is just so dystopical. It opens the doors for totalitarianism everywhere and makes it easier and more effective than it ever was. The tools states now and will have to control and deceive their own citizens are just scary.
What exactly is Gartner? I'm not sure if the google search result matches the context

The only truth in this video is regarding Cracka/CWA. It was done via social engineering, so nothing really technical but Cracka does have talent with security.

A documentary that is more like a warning than informational. Great job.
Great Video once again - and a super important topic to make people aware of! The debate of Freedom vs. Security, massive surveillance by (and not just) the US Gov. and whether whistleblowing is a morally justifiable action, is a question everybody should pose to themselves. Hat off!

hi fern, love the videos that you've created so far; visually amazing!
That’s really rude of you. For you to come on his channel and overtly tell him you don’t like the videos he hasn’t created yet?! Only like the ones he’s created so far?!
The AUDACITY!
@mason96575 he is right tho, the videos they havent made yet are absolutely terrible
Videos of this nature often emphasize entertainment over factual accuracy, aiming to captivate viewers with sensational narratives. It's crucial to recognize that such content is frequently employed by media and journalists to craft engaging stories rather than to provide strictly accurate information. As viewers, we should approach these narratives with skepticism and verify the claims through reliable sources.
This video blends fictional elements with speculative scenarios. Honestly believing that kids or teenagers are able to break into systems like those of the CIA or other significant organizations, which have been developed over years by scientists and cybersecurity experts, is very naive.
As a software developer, I'd like to highlight a few inaccuracies in the video, although there are many more that could be discussed. I couldn't watch the entire video, as it appears to have been created by someone with limited knowledge of the subject matter.
1. The claim that "He keeps his Bitcoins on a hard drive" demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of Bitcoin. The primary purpose of Bitcoin is to facilitate a decentralized method of exchanging value using blockchain technology, which distributes a ledger of transactions across numerous decentralized machines. Thus, Bitcoin is not stored on a personal HDD or SSD.
2. The statement "He never uses his private Wi-Fi, instead he connects to the free DQ Wi-Fi using a satellite dish" is flawed for several reasons:
- Technological Differences: Satellite dishes are designed to receive signals from satellites, not to connect to Wi-Fi, which operates on different frequencies and employs different technologies than those used by satellite dishes.
- Range Limitations: Wi-Fi networks, such as those in restaurants, communicate with devices via radio waves within specific, limited ranges, generally not extending beyond a few hundred feet. Satellite dishes, conversely, are built to capture broader signals from space and are not suited for connecting to local Wi-Fi networks.
- Security Implications: Even if it were technically feasible, using a satellite dish to connect to public Wi-Fi would provide no security advantages. Public Wi-Fi networks are inherently insecure, as they are shared with many users, potentially exposing data to interception by others on the same network.
These examples should provide a clearer picture of the inaccuracies prevalent in videos like this one.
im glad that there is stuff like this on TH-cam, gooood content!
at first i was mad that you kept bringing up that he smoked pot all day every day. like, what does that have to do with anything. but then you hear him say it himself and it's so absolutely gratifying. 100% worth it every time you take the top of the leaderboard down a peg
Prim and proper professionals secretly strung out on Xanax and opium with a little coke on the side
Why would that make you mad?
@@tyronebrown3837 only the most naive among us believe that the well off in eurocentric countries are anything but stimulant addicted maniacs. you have to have not really experienced anything but wealthy peoples public faces to believe otherwise
@@Welcome_To_The_OasisBecause smoking cannabis isn’t an indicator of bad behavior.
@@chrisp2642 Correct, but when you think of a “pot head” which this kid clearly was, you don’t think of somebody that is capable of hacking the cia. Let’s just be so real here
Those kids are kinda real heros on their own.. srsly how brave you have to be to go against a damn state.... thats amazing honestly... They just tried do to the right thing like directly without hestitation..amazing man!
Im sorry that the state got them and broke them...states do all those things to normal people but when normal people do it its over... We need more brave people like those kids! They were never wrong, I think! They just tried doing the right thing against a lvl 100 boss while beeing a kid man, thats awesome! I wish them all a happy life man
mr robot is literally about them
@@mood12348did u just ignore the part where on of the hacker admitted that he thought he did the right but knew afterwards that he didnt and that he was completely wrong?
@@CapybaraHunter187 I would also say anything to get a potentially reduced sentence.
And even though the states services are used by many, they are also abused by many, including the state itself.
Must be security to scan through your activity and wherever you go.. you know "just in case".
Must be the freedom that is fantasized about whilst giving up rights.
@@CapybaraHunter187he said that in court. You are allowed to lie in court
Beautiful human beings. Thank you for your service ❤
this was really intresting thanks for the video fr
first video ive seen from you and i want to say its every well made like in the beginning the phone was made so well even showing every pixel 10/10 video
Same
I’m in love with the editing. This video was an absolute BANGER!!!
They released an hour long documentary in collaboration with a german state media channel about russian hackers maybe two weeks ago and the production level is through the roof. I hope they release a translated version some day, it's insane.
fr i was entertained every second
Same!
it’s so quiet here
Been awake all night, just saw this lmao
I just farted
Psssssss
“USE THE BOOST TO GET THROUGH!!”
Millennials born in the 80s will understand 😅
Can I piss, sir?😊
Is it really a crime for deleting student loans that have extortionist levels of interest?
I love this channel, honestly that was so interesting!!
Sad you're partnering with incogni, it uses scummy business practices. They don't adhere to the lawful requirement of easy cancellation, you need to scrape their site to find an email, and you need to send a request to cancel your subscription to that email. No other way to cancel.
I'll cancel it by cancelling the card it's on
Damn
That’s how lots of subscriptions are today. It just takes one extra step now, us, the consumer, needs to use there brains just a little bit. These businesses know, however, most consumers don’t even use their brains…
Everyone's a hypocrite.
This is such a mind-blowing piece of story! It really drives home how cybercrimes can have massive implications - affecting people's lives and national security.
The only cyber crimes are from the NSA and other 3 letter organizations. Hell they do regular crimes too.
“National Security” meaning ways to spy on people, torture suspects, topple governments and installing puppet leaders?
@hiftylonghead892 yep that about covers it secure for the zombies that rule over us social engineering our demise 😊
And its crazy how the government commits those cybercrimes every single day!
this is what you take away from this? the government completely disregards its citizens' rights for privacy and when exposed literally lies under oath and simply continues to spy. but the people speaking up against this are "affecting people's lives" LOL is this an AI-generated comment?
this was my friend, he was a good pal, but i havent seen him in years. I hope he's okay. He was always technically challenged and never the most tech savvy individual, but im so happy he got to where he is today!
It's German
that was the HARDEST intro i’ve seen in a minute.
