  • Snowden said this week:
    "I wouldn't use WiFi at home, because global maps of every wireless access point's unique ID-including yours-are free and constantly updated. I would use ethernet; yes, ethernet on a phone."
    Using ethernet on your phone? I explain why you shouldn't turn your wifi router on, and why you shouldn't turn your phone into a hotspot. It's shocking how unsafe it makes your location.

    Wigle.net provides an amazing resource for WiFi mapping. They also respect the privacy of anyone who requests their information to be removed from the database. To have records of your access point removed from their database send an email to: WiGLE-admin[at]WiGLE.net (please include BSSID (MAC) in removal requests).
    Also, append the tag ‘_nomap’ or ‘_optout’ to your SSID to stop other website tracking your location.

      If can get apps like Wifi Analyzer (and similar) for Android devices (last I recall Apple does not allow this) and you'll be able to see any/all broadcasting devices within range of your Android device.
      Allow your AP to broadcast, capture the BSSID. Disable your AP. Do an active scan for wireless networks - if you BSSID is not present, that would lean towards zero broadcasting is occurring.
      When you perform a check of this nature, be sure to check both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

      By "they", do you mean our government? You're likelier to be attacked by someone not associated with any agency. If it's a major operation, it will likely be by social engineering. It's the easiest and most favorable way to attack. Convince cops someone is hostile, and they'll shoot. Convince someone that you're an executive, and you can walk in and out with company secrets. Convince someone that they're a mechanic, and they can have exclusive access to your car, and install backdoors to stage a suicide. People want to believe everyone is who they say they are, and what they seem to be. Cybernetic attacks are glamorous, but social engineering attacks are in nearly all cases more practical. The chance of success is much greater, and the risks are few to none.

      According to Edward snowden, if you search something censored and illegal on internet then NSA firewall is triggered and NSA store your query in its database. Because they put backdoor in popular products like (whatsapp, facebook, google, windows) that give them access to our devices. And classify all that our data with their automated AI Classification algorithms. That create profile of a person and then that data is added to their Private internet with multiple connected servers. Where they can get all information (government/Criminal records, personal details, technology usage, his views ) of a person just by typing his name or any similar search. And then create hard backup copy of that data.

      +Strukle D I've seen french police watch and not intervene while tourists were getting scammed.
      In most European cities, police is swamped by crime, so they prioritize, and theft of an old phone is low on the list. Same for the prosecutor's office, so even if the thief was arrested, he'll never appear in court.
      I'm in the Netherlands, criminals are openly selling drugs in front of cameras, in front of cops, nobody cares. Police will not show up for shoplifting of items under 15 EU. The percentage of successful prosecution for theft and break-ins is single digits. Half of the rape cases are dropped by the prosecutor. In total, 50,000 cases were dropped in 2017, on a population of 17 million.
      A cop recently complained on twitter that some man punched him in the face, he arrested him but saw him walking around a few hours later. My guess is he was undocumented, those are never prosecuted, so, in practice, above the law.
      Only when firearms are involved are they successful, 95% of such cases are solved. For everything else they may even refuse to file your complaint, as I've experienced. There was a scandal recently when a report came out, police whistleblowers said their bosses forced them to refuse complaints, mis-file them, to manipulate crime statistics.

I like to use bridge mode on my ISP provided modem/router which I then feed directly into my home router/firewall running OpenBSD. I separate the network into different subnets which are firewalled off from each other. It's been especially useful this past year since working from home so there's no chance my works computer can see my own computers and my home network remains secure. It's really stable and runs really nicely, and is not too hard or expensive to set up.

They are followers, rather then go in first. They should not care about privacy because of what _they_ are doing, but because others who _are_ doing something that ultimately matters to everyone have enough of a sea of confusion around that the criminals in the top cannot find them.
      He should care about his privacy, because it would protect the next Snowden or Julian Assange. There is something nasty and selfish about saying "come spy on me, there is nothing to find here and I don't care," we are not at the point yet where we should say that because we have the enemy down. We don't have the enemy down, the enemy is keeping good people in prison which we may not be able to rescue before they get murdered.
      By the way, the real worry is not that anyone can find where you have been, although that certainly is also a worry, but the biggest worry seems to me that the ruling class can start categorizing and analyzing everyone, and eventually when the time is right for them (read; they have created their war and the panic to ratify it), they could start acting upon this mass of data they have. These consequences will likely start ranging from newspapers not supporting honest candidates in politics and always supporting criminals and corruptible people, to refusing people for all kinds of jobs, to harassment and murder. This may seem weird to some people, but it would be very weird if it did not happen sooner or later, because it ends always the same with the Roman Republic and its unstable power centralizing economic system.

      Aleph Gates oh my god, my head hurts trying to understand what you’re saying.
      DHCP assigns a logical/“virtual” IP address to a physical MAC address on an internal local network (think home). This is your “internal ID”. When you make a request to Google, your computer tries to connect to Google’s IP. As your network doesn’t have that IP, the request is sent to your router and up to your service provider from your external IP. The request receiver (Google) only sees your external IP, not your internal one.
      WiFi works differently and lives entirely on your local network. The reason the MAC address of the WiFi access point can be detected is because the MAC address is used to establish communication between the computer and the WiFi access point. That means people need to be physically near to be able to detect your Access Point’s MAC and SSID.

      This sounds like an advice from past technologies. Lithium batteries should not suffer from continuous charging, as the device is preventing overcharging and there are no memory effects on the battery.

      (Sorry for the long comment, but it's not a subject that can be covered with an 1-line answer.)
      _"the system must do trickle charge"_
      It doesn't, trickle chargers are a big no-no for Li-ions (since they may go boom if they're overcharged).
      Instead, they have an integrated BPB (battery protection board) that monitors:
      - Overcharging/over-discharging
      - Temperature
      - Charging polarity, voltage & current
      BPB stops the charging once a certain voltage has been reached, or opens a fuse when something is not right.
      Now, what I meant was:
      - You are relying on this tiny BPB to do its job properly, which may turn your battery into a napalm if it fails.
      - You are stressing the battery, which reduces its lifespan.
      Manufactures themselves advise not to let it drop below ~20%, or charge it beyond ~85%.
      Li-ions reach full saturation at ~85%, anything beyond that stresses them.
      The reasons why they don't implement/enforce those % in their chargers, is charger simplicity, & (I assume) marketing (=longer runtime).
      As for your battery, well, have you tried unplugging the charger?
      Does it hold a charge for more than an hour? 😛
      If it does, you may want to sell it to some Battery Research Institute for big €€€, because it truly is a technological wonder!
      Not just because you have charge-stressed the crap out of it, but also because even under normal operation, Li-ion lifespan is about ~3 years.

      _"This sounds like an advice from past technologies."_
      On the contrary, what I said applies to Lithium batteries, while it does *not* apply to older batteries (like NiMH).
      _"the device is preventing overcharging"_
      I'm not talking about overcharging, I'm talking about high-voltage stress (they reach full saturation at ~85%).
      _"there are no memory effects"_
      True.
      It's because of those 2 reasons manufacturers suggest many charging cycles between ~20%/~85%, instead of one full cycle 1%/100%.
      There's also another major Lithium killer: *heat!*
      Those Ethernet thingies in the video for example, charge the device while it's being used extensively.
      There are important issues with this (hence my original comment):
      - Charging the battery while it's hot
      - The battery get's even hotter from heat generated from it's own internal resistance & protection circuitry
      - Prolonged high-voltage stress from keeping the battery at 100%
      I get it, I'm a mobile user since the '90s, seeing the battery below 100% triggers my OCD too.
      But if you want your Li-ions to live longer (& safer), you should respect the 20%/85% as best as you can.
      Of course you gonna charge it up to 100% some times, or let it drop very low.
      But keep charging it for *hours* after it has reached 100%, *every single day,* is a bad idea.
      But... to each their own I guess. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    One important thing to note is that you can disable the SSID from being transmitted on many WiFi devices. Doesn’t hide your BSSID, but it is a little bit more secure.
    Also, I advise everyone who is concerned enough about their security to get a real firewall appliance, like “Untangle NG Firewall”, installed at home. Well worth the minimal investment and can provide security like no other router can. Been running my Untangle NG Firewall on a mini-pc off Amazon and it does the job fantastic with zero issues.
    If you use any kind of surveillance cameras (eg. Blink, Ring, Reolink, etc...), a firewall appliance is highly recommended due to well known security issues with network connected surveillance cameras.

    I have to add to the beginning of the video that routers do technically have a firewall, but only a simple one and by definition, at least in Germany, they are not sufficient for this purpose, especially for companies, because you need to have full control over what you can block and I learned that some routers don't offer this possibility, they always have standard ports like 80 and 443 open, so normal users don't run into problems if they block them by mistake.

      Both Apple and Google implemented this as Wi-Fi location to help with the one-way GPS to speed up location and the latest trend has added Bluetooth as well. It makes turning them off a pain in the butt Because then everything complains that you're not going to get the most accurate location. They've also embedded the ability to update their databases through the wifi location sharing to help more accurately map Wi-Fi networks to improve location in hard to get GPS areas AKA cities.

      What are you talking about? The timestamp you point to talks about bug updates, and then mentions that a direct connection to a modem doesn't give you any firewall protection. If you're connected to a router, and then set a DMZ to one of your devices, that sounds like the pass-through you're referring to. But a computer connected directly to a modem means that it's completely open to the Internet, and can be probed by people on the Internet.
      So a few seconds later, she's saying that having a router with a firewall is important, specifically so the Internet doesn't have direct access to your devices. She kind of failed to mention one other non-security-related purpose for a router, and that's to connect all your devices, since without one you'll only be able to connect one at a time - and some ISPs don't like to see the connected MAC address change, and will block devices that weren't initially set up.

    Mh I'm studying networks rn in high school and I kinda feel like that the solution she proposed doesn't work well... Like the MAC address of your router is still being transmitted when you want your LAN to talk to the Internet. So basically the only way to not be tracked is using only a LAN and so not being able to access any internet content.

    • @g00gleminus96
      @g00gleminus96 3 года назад

      Exactly. If any device uses the internet the then ISP that owns the network infrastructure knows aporximately where that device is accessing the internet from. That ISP knows where the modem that is driving that internet connection was installed. Even if it is a private home, the ISP still knows at least which home has which modem, if not exactly where the router is in the home. In fact, with WiFi your PC can easily be across the street from your access point; try doing that with Ethernet and I think you'll see the problem.

    • @Tudorgeable

      which is why the push for 5g is so strong from telecoms, because they could gather location info unilaterally (tower triangulation) with distances as fine as .1m, and coupled with the huge data collection that happens with wifi networks any smartphone carrying person can be tracked anywhere in a city.
      The only solution to privacy is to just leave your phone at home and use it very rarely when you truly need it, and use disconnected devices the rest of the time.
      There's something liberating in working or playing on a disconnected device, like knowing you could be bombarded by content on the internet but you chose not to partake in that shit

    What I learned was a "phone" was a stick with two round parts, one on each end (speaker and mic), connected by a coiled cord to a cubic base set where you lay it on top to push down two nipples that disconnect the connection. There was a cord coming out of the base and running along the wall to a phone jack, where it was plugged in. The whole phone set could be carried as long as the last cord into the wall was. Sounds like you just threw yourself back to my childhood years.

    If you are worried about the wifi map then turn off your ssid broadcast. This stops people from easily finding your router just by driving past at least. Google street view got busted doing this .
    Yes, it is better to use wired connections for security purposes.
    Mac addresses are only shared long enough to get to the next device (next hop) They then change from intermediate device to intermediate device.

      Well. The map was made based on frequencies transmitted by your router. I believe when you disable that feature the router will just listen but the thing is, it has to send you back some data when you use its wifi. Which should be seen on that map which is just showing the 2.4 ghz and 5ghz. I may be wrong. It will probably look like a dot or something with no name since being discoverable would mean it's sending all of its data, like name, encryption, mac address, etc.
