    Dude currently in school for cyber security and any time I come across something I don't understand (which is all the time since I'm completely novice) I type it in the search bar and your videos come up. literally every thing I have searched you have a video on. You are a life saver!

      So much easier to understand through these cleanly edited videos and animated videos to help you visualize.
      I went to college and sometimes the professors are unsure themselves and either stop mid sentence or stumble mid sentence and that leaves you puzzled.
      Or you get a foreign professor that doesn't speak with an English accent so you can't fully understand.
      Some of them act like you are on your masters degree trying to get a PHD and they give you every technical term In the book at 2x speed and will jump over basically things they expect everyone to understand.

    WOW. I have viewed several of your tutorials and I am totally blown away by how good they are. With your tutorials, you remove the complexity of the internet and how all the devices( PCs, printers, cell phones, etc.) are tied together and tied into the internet . They simplify, clarify and with illustrations perfectly and concisely explain things. Thanks.

    I like how you can’t choose WEP as a security protocol, but you’re allowed to choose “NONE”. The router is like “you can choose no security but you can’t choose bad security”

      my guess is they believe that if you're selecting options for security, confidentiality is required, so they only allow secure protocols as options.

    WEP: wired equivalent privacy, earliest protocol. 40 bit encryption, too weak no longer used.
    WPA: wifi protected access. Uses TKIP (temporal key integrity protocol) to keep changing the keys as its being used.
    WPA2: stronger than WPA, uses AES (advanced encryption standard)
    WPA3: most advanced
    WPS: designed for people who know little about wireless networks, doesn’t require entering a password. Requires pushing a WPS button on the router and on the printer/device to connect the router and printer.
    Access control: can block specific MAC addresses from getting on the network

    • @Alien-cr8qk

    • @igorthelight
      @igorthelight 3 года назад +11

      A few additions:
      WPS - you push the button and ANYONE could connect to your network for a few minutes.
      Access control - blocks/allows by MAC address that could easily be changed. If hacker would know your MAC address - he could easily mimic it.

      It wasn't just that WEP was 40 bits. Its cipher protocol itself made it weak security. In 2001, researchers showed that just by listening to the packets in a WEP-(allegedly)protected network, they could discover the decryption key in less than a minute with ordinary computer hardware.
      Claiming that WEP provides even weak security will lead someone to believe their WEP WiFi network is secure. At least when using no security you KNOW your network is not secure.

    This getting crazy! I truly understand the need for companies gas, water, electrical & the State to need hard to hack, but I am 65 and had internet only, router failed. Then it started as new one came, called and turned, tv failed as sound but black screen, then wife's tv failed. Older laptop as 5 dead are stacked including Mac Air, and a 2 year HP wireless printer. All show connected, but none sent warranty info, print or can see the tv work. Crazy, it is like the sun is up, but still dark! I have 6.5hrs. invested in the internet company and now learned a bunch from your video. I correctly repaired vehicles at dealerships for 4 decades plus 7 years in apprenticeship. I can program a PCM on a new Buick to run but can't turn on a TV?
    My laptop was able to use ethernet to access SSID, PW, and change security but not now. Printer changed, kitchen TV changed and it was off. I am afraid to touch a button as I will loose everything, back to square one.

    @dankmemes3447 Год назад +4

    There are some important security issues missing from the more common standards.
    WPS is even worse than WEP imo im usually able to get into any WPS Router in Seconds.
    The pin for WPS cannot be changed, most routers can be tricked into revealing the encrypted pin and the pin is always 7 numerical digits and a checksum digit that can be computed from the previous 7 digits.
    Also the pin is split into two before it gets encrypted so only 11000 numbers have to be guessed before you are guaranteed to have the password.
    WPS is also turned on by default on most devices that support it and can't be turned off on many routers. Also once you have the pin, you can ask the router for the wpa/2/3 password and it will reveal it.
    WPA2 is also insecure. Everytine someone connects to a router the hashed password (eapol handshake) is revealed. To everyone. Even to people who aren't connected to the network. This password can be cracked by a sufficiently strong computer. If the password is very strong, it might take too long, but most wifi routers have horrible passwords or even use the hilariously insecure wps pin as its default password (TP-Link for example).
    Another issue is that you can disconnect other devices from a wpa2 network through deauthentication even if you're not part of the network yourself.
    Acces control is entirely circumventable by mac spoofing. Many Android phones do this by default for privacy reasons already.
    WPA3 is more secure, and fixes many WPA2 fuckups, but nearly no one is using it even tho its five years old now. It also already has vulnerabilities (dragonfly).
    Long story short:
    use a very secure password on wpa2/3.
    Don't use WPA/WEP/WPS
    Access control is useless against anyone who knows how to use google and a computer
    If your Router doesn't let you disable wps throw it in the trash
