20:55 Passkeys like FIDO or TOTP Time based one time passwords/keys are good, but are only one piece to a good authentication system.
The constitution has what’s called the 5th amendment which allows you to refuse to incriminate yourself. ie. giving up your password. But that DOES NOT protect you if you use a fingerprint, faceID, The Gov can force you to use faceID or fingerprint to unlock data but cannot force you to remember what your password is.
Always use a passPHRASE along with another form of auth such as a passkey or text, etc
@LimitedWard
May 20, 2025 at 8:20 pm
This is partly correct, but there’s nuance you’re ignoring. Authentication relies on proving 1 of 3 things: something you know (e.g. passwords/PINs), something you have (e.g. a cell phone or hardware key), or something you are (e.g. a fingerprint). Any time you require more than one proof of identity, that counts as “multi factor authentication”.
All passkey implementations in practice are multi factor auth. In the case of hardware keys (e.g. Yubikeys), you are required to provide both a PIN (which provides something you know) as well as the Yubikey itself (something you have). In the case of software passkeys (e.g. a password manager), the exact factors will vary, but as long as you have MFA enabled to decrypt your passkey vault, then you are transitively providing multiple factors to prove your identity.

It’s not that Tik-tok violates privacy; it’s that China weaponizes it against our country. Disinformation causes actual harm, in case you haven’t been paying attention. We had a coup attempt because of it. Wagner’s “lock her up” campaign had an impact and was a full-on FSB op and worked because that demographic never bothers to ask for evidence or check facts. Read-up on Romania and how Russia used Tik-Tok. It’s not the same thing as “all companies violate privacy”. This is bigger than that.

To the last one, i feel like the remake of The Italian Job was fair in its portrayal of multiple hack elements. Especially how long it took to break into traffic control.
A few B grade movies are also more realistic about it. But blockbuster movies certainly trivialise it.
@LimitedWard
May 20, 2025 at 8:03 pm
20:12 I’m really glad he brought up passkeys, especially with regards to password managers. However he left out one critical detail: the passkeys you store in a password manager are only as secure as your master password. That’s why it’s CRITICALLY IMPORTANT to use multi factor authentication with a password manager.
Ideally this MFA would be a hardware security key, which uses the same underlying FIDO protocol used by passkeys. Then you’d have a cryptographically secure chain which protects all your accounts:
– your hardware key protects your password manager
– your password manager protects your passkeys and passwords
– your passkeys and passwords protect your online logins
@Mark-wd5zb
May 20, 2025 at 8:42 pm
He did mention this.
@LimitedWard
May 20, 2025 at 8:52 pm
@@Mark-wd5zbhe sort of hints at it but not directly. He mentions that password managers can store passkeys, but he fails to explicitly mention that you should secure your password vault using another passkey (ideally a hardware backed passkey, like a Yubikey). To be fair, he had a very limited time to cover the concept, so I can’t blame him for not expounding on every detail/nuance.

Additional detail about the “Wannacry” kill switch:
Security researchers usually analyze malware in a virtual machine that fakes network access by seemingly allowing every connection to go through and logging what the malware attempts to send to which IP. In order to defeat that scenario, malware pings “random” addresses (that shouldn’t exist), and if they see “successful ping”, they assume it must be a fake response inside a test environment and shut themselves down to make it harder to anaylze what would’ve happened thereafter. It is believed that the programmer of Wannacry made a mistake and forgot to randomize the address properly, causing the malware to always probe the same target. That’s why registering the target domain killed it. It’s also said that Marcus orginally registered the domain “just to see what would be sent there”, and only later realized it was an accidentially functioning kill switch for many instances.

The most accurate hacking I’ve seen depicted was on To Aru Majutsu no Index novels, at some point a character named Uiharu (who is a teenage girl) is actually shown having a back and forth trying to break into a network and navigate its systems by running pre-made programs and commands and identifying breaking points, still I think it was exaggerated to add drama, as expected, pretty cool that she wasn’t just furiously typing stuff

The fact that ads are allowed to roll without having to take any comments or criticisms, (not even votes matter on those!) just doesnt sit right with me, especially if we’re all interested in transparency. They could just lie and we wouldn’t even know unless it stood out or sounded wrong! With that being said, please comment on your ads here:(If you would like to, of course)
For example, My ad this time was lying about cyber security and how everyone can appreciate less spending on security, and that 2-factor authentication is the best way to SECURE your account.
Criticisms? Yeah, only the company cares if their own spending is low – the customer/user would much rather prefer that the company spends more for better security over less for just the basics.
“We call ot hardening” – yes, hardening is done for online services, but the fact that some of the largest companies around are still getting hacked means that the current spending they do on security isn’t NEARLY enough.
After all is said and done, we still get blamed when we dont use 2 factor auth to lock out our accounts, and get told there is no way to recover the account if we happen to forget the EXACT case sensitivity of our own password BECAUSE we decided to trust 2 factor auth.
So, 2 factor auth is the most efficient way to lose your account by getting it locked out by an incomplete security implementation, not to secure it better..
But that is all I wanted to say 🙂

In the 1990s, the US Army famous switched all their public-facing servers to MacOS, because it was by far the most secure operating system on the market, since there was no command shell that could be accessed remotely. If a hacker managed to pass bad data in such a way as to crash a process, the process would simply terminate, and they wouldn’t be able to gain privileged access to instantiate new processes.

you are wring with the voting system.
blockchain with zero knowlage proof, is the best way to do voting.
this way, you can proove if a user has votetd or not. and blockchain tech will prevent double voting.

Cybersecurity in the 90’s was much more than just setting up a firewall. It was setting up file and folder rights. Limiting admin access. Scanning your PW databases for unsecure passwords. Testing your backups and disaster recovery. Checking logs for unusual access… The answer about the OPM question was stupid as employees of the government have very little choice if they want those jobs. Also dumb was his Tik Tok answer as it is VERY EASY for a company to control what can and cannot be on the assets it controls, including phones.
@jeffcrume
May 25, 2025 at 3:11 pm
It was that and much more but a lot of people never got much past the firewall in terms of their focus
@DarkHorseSki
May 25, 2025 at 5:23 pm
@@jeffcrume I disagree… in fact I would argue that in the 90’s, since few companies were even connected to the Internet to the second half of that decade, that the firewalls thing was really just a focus of the router folks. The admins were, almost certainly, most focused on passwords, file and folder rights as well as anti-virus stuff first whenever security became an issue.

I’m not an infosec expert, but fairly experienced. I’d say Sneakers probably hits the closest to real life hacking. Maybe not in its depictions, but it displays social engineering, direct hardware hacking ie intercepting phone calls, indirect hacking in the form of raising the temperature of a room to fool temperature sensing motion detectors, that kind of thing. And the braille display readout the blind guy uses actually did/does exist.

A little sad facts about Marcus Hutchins (the person who stopped WannaCry Ransomware as Jeff pointed out) Hutchins was later indicted by the FBI for his association with Kronos Banking Malware, most likely because of the profile he received after stopping WannaCry, and FBI offer a deal for him to flip other hackers, but he refused, instead he pled guilty to two counts (hacking and fraud charge) he was sentenced to time serve as the judge had commented on how he had turned his corner.

17:00 sounds like false information? An ISP can’t see everything even if you don’t use a VPN. That implies all ISP’s have root level certificates in which to decrypt TLS traffic.
Yes, they can see what websites you go to via unencrypted DNS (very typical) traffic and also see the plain/text SNI within the TLS handshake. But, no, they can’t simple look at all data, unless they have that root certificate, that’s my current understanding, correct me if I’m missing something!
@jeffcrume
May 29, 2025 at 9:38 am
You aren’t wrong, but in some cases, a person may not want it known which web sites they visit and when and how often, which can be seen by the ISP without a VPN. Also, not all web traffic is encrypted
