"Two girls, one network ", haha, I see what you did there :P
"B@#$% you guest it"
Kartik Vashistha Our college campus has hilarious wifi names like DontYouwishyourwifiwashotlikeme, thelanbeforetime, notyournetwork, and 10/10 would connect.
SoupaTech 😂
Kartik Vashistha shitty joke.
It also said "it hurts when IP" ( I pee)
I think the best Wi-FI Security tips i have to give is to use wired network as much as possible.
No wireless packets and a faster connection.
My best advice is, hide the password, and only allow those you trust to join.
"WTF Son...R U even my son?" I laughed out loud in the office
3:31 lol "It hurts when IP"
This green screen hurts
.. my sides
Only men will experience it.
@1:12 EEquivalency
WPA can be hacked with "Reaver-Pixiedust" in a mater of minutes depending on the router. without pixie dust reaver is pretty much dead as most routers that come with WPS enabled by default implement WPS Locking...You could reset some routers with EAPOL Flood attacks etc.. but that doesn't always work and can take up to 10 - 30 mins.
What I'm trying to say is.... Over time every security technique becomes weak ;)
***** _Shoosh_!
I imagine you are a Morgan Freeman in a Dark Knight movie that accidentally blows Bruce's cover when you ask "Batman" to pass the mustard xD
***** WPA2 itself is not weak at all. It is still one of the most secure techniques known. WPS is extremely weak though, and that is what causes vulnerabilities. I disabled WPS on my routers.
***** I agree, reaver alone is weak but with pixiewps it's a whole new level of security flaws.
Alexander Pavel You're correct but what I'm saying is that every encryption standard will become weak over time. I'm not saying it's weak. And disabling WPS is always a smart move. I don't understand why some companies still insist on enabling it by default.
***** I tried obtaining my neighbours wi-fi password on their WPS enabled router and the damn thing locked the WPS :p.
There was someone in my mom's apartment building whose wifi name was "Get your own fucking wifi"
freshbooks sounds like an alternative to fleshlight
Potatoes as fast as possible!!!! Plz!!!!
Octonerd
turnips as fast as possible
Octonerd Don't think linus cover consoles
ikr
Octonerd Turnips as Fast as Possible
FutureGameDev Firepole as Fast as Possible
"it hurts when IP " smart...
That's what my Wi-Fi network is called.
03:03 “it’s convenient for home use, but TURN THAT CRANK OFF for your business network…”. Uh… my router here has no crank to turn lol!
Even my mom laughed at this one
WEP was never checked by professionals or labs before it was used... It was doomed from the day it came out :)
@Linus You should really do a new vid about this but in depth! A lot has changed and I would really like to see an in depth video talking about the different security protocols used.
Watching these videos to refresh my mind before my presentation on computer safety
Thank you I needed this to remember some of these better.
Good vid! I would have also pointed out that setting a good password is mandatory, The use of dictionaries can decrease so much the time needed by bruteforce!
good explanation on a high level
Your segways to ur ads are hilarious Linus. Gold star to the writer(s)!
got to watch this in class. thank you linus, very cool
I appreciated the AOE2 reference lol. Good throwback to the golden days of RTS.
Lol.... nice touch with the Doctor Evil reference :)
Here's a tip - secure open wifi with WPA and put the password in the SSID. That way local users are protected from each other and don't have to ask for the PW.
When we were at a museum in Berlin, there was a network from the museum that was password protected and another one with the exact same SSID that was not protected and that just looped to the first one.... It was so obvious that it was someone that was monitoring the data but none of my classmates believed me...
My router can still be set to WEP security. It's from 2001 I think.
Leo Firelance The NSA thanks you.
Can you please do a video on hybrid storage! I think most people don't know how it works including myself. Thanks!
I have a suggestion for you Linus: Cable Management as quick as possible.
A cable management guide would also be a nice feature for many people out there (including me).
Strong presentation. ;)
Could somebody please tell me what is the " safest" way to connect to uour wifi? Is the app Sprint wants to sell, secure wifi app, worth it ?
How on Earth was TunnelBear not at the end of this video? That's what you actually need when using public WiFi!
+Dylan Kauling Exactly what I was thinking!
Ikr
"B%#@% you guessed it" lmao too funny
Can you explain Wi-Fi login pages (in hotels and coffee shops) next time?
0:37. Amazing!
I'm going to live on a college campus that has wifi everywhere. How safe is my data on that network if my phone is encrypted?
Gone are the days when I could drive around and see tons of open linksys networks
I was expecting a couple of always and "not worth its"
Always use a long password or passphrase
Always change the name of the ssid
Always use wpa2 aes unless absolutely necessary
Not worth it mac address filtering
Not worth it hidden ssid
Yeah
I don't know why people in the comment section... says It is worth to enable MAC filtering as ....it is Very easy to change the Address via CLI based programs =(
What you think about the default password on modems ? should we change that ? why don't they say change your password when you install it
I love that Dr. Evil easter egg ;P
Hey! I'm getting redirected to specific sites while I'm on my WiFi network. Is it hacked or something?
Those WiFi names at 0:37 though! 😂
1:32 that laptop was my first computer. Really
Acer travelmate 2350
How about wired security, wiretapping & hardware bugs & hardware security in general for your next as fast as possible?
Also u didn't mention using Internet security suit? Don't they protect your wifi?
Does anyone know any good places to take online courses where you learn programming (starting with basics up to advanced) also any courses related to creating apps for iphones/androids and website design and development. I want to have a good understanding of networks and website design and development as well as coding html and other types of codes. Sorry I'm a bit new to all this but would love to learn while I'm in university!
set the router to drop Internet connection on firewall fail. and manually add Devices by mac address only. But nothing is 100% secure.
***** Agreed, but the above mothod could provide an extra layer of security
Fearbeavis smith This can potentially create a legal trap however. Somebody using your connection with a spoofed mac can do all sorts of illegal activity and let law enforcement trace it to you. Most law enforcement agencies will use your setting as evidence against you and ignore the potential for spoofing. I have seen something like this happen.
It is sort of similar to using data from your GPS device against you and putting the burden on you to explain why it does not apply to your specific situation.
Fearbeavis smith mac address ? lol thats a piece of cake. Dissable wps, use wpa2 + aes and you are good to go
+JaapJan Groenendijk That's a good thing. Some day manufacturers will stop even putting this option into the firmware. That will increase security because nobody relies one this "security" feature any more.
Mine wpa2/psk, is this safe?
Yes
+Hero Acer hmm idk what i have. i use the some neighbors wifi. i hope he has safe wifi
Tra-guy 👀
not if your password is 123456. Is it?
As long as the password isn't really weak such as short dictionary words such as "dragon".
I recall weak WPA2 passwords being easily crackable over Aircrack-NG.
R u even my son? I laughed
Can you make one video about DMA and PIO hdd modes?
You might want to have mentioned that, "An individual or business you trust" doesn't just mean anyone you don't believe will personally steal your information. You also have to trust that they can secure their access point properly. If they can't, then it's just as bad as if the person owning the access point were to desire your information (security wise I mean, not morally speaking).
Granted most people that don't already know that probably don't have the know how to secure an access point properly themselves (you would not believe the number of people who know to set a password on their wifi but leave the wireless router with default login information). So that advice might not make them any safer (on its own).
The one time HotspotSchield would fit like a glove as a sponsor, they are not sponsoring Techquickie.
Does anyone know what Avast does when you tell it to scan your router?
by connecting to a secure website while using public wifi means https needs to be secure?
Bernie Sanders 2016 https is encrypted on both the browser and server end, so directly intercepting the data isn't particularly useful, you need to get the data at one end or the other unless you have a super computer or a back door to unencrypt it.
kght222 so making sure you have an https connecting would give you privacy from hackers
Bernie Sanders 2016 not really, i only said that intercepting wouldn't be very useful. you also have to secure both ends, which has nothing to do with https.
kght222 or if your on the same network do a MITM attack and make all their traffic go through your device so you could bypass the https encryption by making them request a http page while sniffing traffic at the same time.
RaDiiuM yup yup, but that can be avoided with an encrypted vpn, and that is still an attack on one end or another, but wifi spoofing in public is a serious threat for a million and one reasons.
1:10 "Wired EEquivalency Privacy" :D
1:31 lost my shit hahahah lmao
0:32 moment when my WiFi is actually called It_Hurts_When_IP
I was wondering if it is necessary to use security if you don't live next to anyone and are sure no-one will connect to it in the usual sense.
Good video
What about trying to do transactions over my mobile data,is it save?
What kind of watch is that?
Linus can you explain to us how this "deep dream" thingy works?
3:09 Which video was that scene from?
Nice
So what is the difference between wpa-psk+wpa2-psk and wpa2-psk?
He didnt mention Reaver, thank you Linus.
***** Reaver is the only free open-source WPS crackalacker I'm aware of. I believe wifite uses it by extension but it isn't nearly as useful as the standalone beta reaver.
Edit: I stand corrected. Reaver-Pixiedust is a postmortem fork of Reaver that is apparently succeeding it.
Hey Linus, please make a video explaining how file compression works...
The basic idea is using special algorithms to pack data losslessly (because otherwise lossy compression methods will corrupt your data) to reduce overall filesize. That being said, redundancy in a file affects compressability - in which text files are compresses more so than images, videos, and encrypted data.
The strongest security is to use cables only, no wifi in this house!!!!
🎯Indeed: i said the same👌
Can do a video on public key encryption and symmetric key encryption
Speaking of Wi-Fi... Anyone knows a good, free and a easy to use program that will show the amount of data the programs on my computer are sending and receiving?
What is difference of ips screen and tft screen
FRESHBOOKS !!!
If it hard to break the password then,why it able to crack wifi from android.
He refers to Non dictionary character maybe🤔🤔
Well, if you want to have a truly secure home network use an Access Control List
best mode for
Wpa Incryption
Tkip or Aes Or Tkip + Aes
WPS is insecure because it has a flaw, that allows a remote attacker to activate it for one minute. More then enough time to establish a connection to the network.
awesome video
***** you´re right, i stopped watching when he started talking about Freshbooks. i apologize
Pls do a vid on Cmos
Untrusted Wi-Fi networks are insecure, because the password is shared, the key may be rolling, but everyone gets the same key, and any encryped packets can be decripted useing the server decription key when intercepted. This can happen with out you noticeing.
That's one wacky Boy Band Gumbo Photo you got there!
The Nintendo Wifi play that is no longer supported used WEP. I couldn't play my DS games online at the time because my network was too new.
whih software are they using for haking wifi
how does an openvpn connection with certificates stack up in an unsecure public network
Well since your Router holds only one public address it will try to connect to the VPN service based on Configuration file you uploaded in it... then after configuration accepts...it will reroute all traffic as encrypted format from the OpenVPN server......
Basically Wireless security works between Access point and devices connected to it...by applying VPN...it will even sends encrypted traffic to private network as well....
But only thing is to Trust such VPN server which are legitimate, Stores no logs( Well All possible does,No one is innocent)....
2 girls one network hahaha
i use a mac addy lock on my local wifi. can that be broken very easily? only authorized mac addys can talk to my wifi. i am actually curious as to what can be done with my method of securing my wifi, i'm expecting that it isn't all that secure, but i don't know how someone can brute force it.
kght222 Not really secure. MAC addresses are sent in plain text and it is relatively easy for an attacker to find a usable address and then spoof it on their device (which would allow them to connect to your network).
0:33 The bottom one should be 8 Hertz WAN IP
But I really want to use my iBook G3 snow with, but it only supports WEP and how can I keep it secure?
Please Promote LiFI technology... if you all people concerned about WiFi flaws...
Break the shit out about LiFI by spreading comments, posts etc in the internet...So any alliance will develop it much faster and it's implementation in devices as well
What is a good router with AES security protocol, under $120?
Buy such router
Which does have more optional security....
There are router you can get for cheap price
Always buy a new release one...to get more support
You can also just bluetooth peoples networks to gain access to private data.
EEquivalency indeed!
You should do otg cables as fast as possible, there a must for power user.
There is no such thing as otg
does anyone know if that part with luke slamming the door at 3:09 was actually him being pissed off? because its pretty funny haha
one question if i put a pasword like this one for exepmle : tVP-OP@I*LPMrtR8GHT/ts19E@d&!h89J is it good with WPA-PSK/WP2-PSK and TKIP/AES ?
and i turn off my router by night and when im not home.
🤣🤣😳
Good explanations on the security protocols. However, the AES encryption... there is a conspiracy I heard back in my post-secondary networking days from one of my instructors... perhaps it was a protocol that was "secretly" developed by the US government (U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology based on Wikipedia), with the capability of a "back-door" if/when required. :) I always say, there is some truth to most conspiracies, and some lies to some truths.
Techquickie Hey, please explain Torrents(as fast as possible)
what are cuda cores as fast as possible
This would have been a brilliant video to be sponsored by HotspotShield, if LTT still had a sponsorship deal with them.
Do a " fire poles as fast as possible "
+Techquickie You forgot the option of a 'hidden' network
+Karl Oversteyns whats that have to do with security?
***** except most devices do see the wifi just not the name (wifi analyzer shows it too).
gameby420
Yes, but while that's true, there's also the fact that they don't actually know the network's name.
+Karl Oversteyns they dont need it.
Since The attena can feel the emission if radio waves...it can easily detect in the range..
Linus, you cannot show them the secret! How would I ever succeed in cyber haxing if people know this advanced tip? God damnit! You just had to *do it*!
I always disable WPS. Even cracked some routers using it. FOR TESTING PURPOSES!
now how does one set this up linus ? why show and and not tell use how to use it ? I have a WEP and i dont know how well to setup this .
+Pie 4life It's different for each manufacturer. Your best bet is to pull out the manual (if you have one). Otherwise, just look up the brand and model number of your router and find out how to get into the administrative panel of your router.
my wi-fi has a password.. thats how I know its secure. im going to eat potato chips now..
MattacksRC potato wifi?
xd
yeah but no one mentions that everyone on your network running windows 10 could share your Wifi Passcode with Microsoft and all of their (Facebook Skype Outlook) contacts thanks to WifiSense.
Yeah they're all pretty easy to get into up until WPA2.
