That isn't hacking tho

SDD525 not if you are behind 7 proxies

I'm the one who knocks

Because hackers know how other hackers work and how to protect yourself from your own attacks. Little is more embarrassing than having someone hack you to get data you hacked off someone else.

Molly its actually not. its completely useless for man in the middle attacks. If you are out, use your cellphone's internet intead of a public wifi. that or make an ssh tunnel to you home pc and check that your pc fingerprint is actually your pc's fingerprint, else it could be fake. the easy way is dont do important stuff connected to wifis you dont know or cant trust to be completely untapped. (like open wifis)

Laharl Krichevskoy Since when do cellphones make Wi-Fi? Do you mean data?

IHateNumbers234 i believe it means you can create a hotspot connection( or Wifi) through your phone.

Gorzoid implying the user actually ensures that their page is served over HTTPS and that they aren't redirected to another site.

Gorzoid the dude is right. you can easily spoof a https cert and inject your own. the lock will appear on chrome but it would be the hacker authenticating you. unless you check the CA the hacker can use yours and his keys to decrypt then pass it to the original destination. aka man in the middle.

Password protected wifi uses encryption between the router and client. WEP's encryption, TKIP, and AES are the most common. If there is end-to-end authenticated encryption then the local network doesn't matter.

DerMauch - Bärtiges Wissen! still it does not protect you from man in the middle attacks. wherever you connect to, you are trustung your connection isnt being tapped into. if you dont verify your destination is the actual place you wanted and not a fake then encryption or not means nothing. All of it can be faked because for https or vpn, no one checks whether the fingerprint is the actual fingerprint and not one from china scammers inc.

@Laharl: The whole point of certificate authorities is to not need to check fingerprints. Https can not be faked unless someone happens to mess with the client directly (like superfish did).

@Undefined User: It does not. Once you are in the same network, man in the middle attacks or tapping traffic is the same as if there were no password.

DerMauch - Bärtiges Wissen! just send the computerphile video to these guys.

HaiImDan i really have no clue o...o she doesn't seem any better or worse than the others

Some people don't like her. Simple as that. But it's more common to not like her than to not like Michael or Hank or Reid or Caitlin, for reasons I'm sure you can look for yourself.

HaiImDan me too, her voice is great, I don't see the problem.

she just hops a lot and makes everything sound like a question.

and sometimes Homophobia.....

Make sure they're not a Yandere, and you're fine.

tsunderes are annoying too, avoid them as well

No, as about fifty other people have been with her. Tons of STD's.

parasite159 what if it's a compilation of 2 girls 1 cup, is it something I don't mind hackers seeing?

Did you check if she have a little lock on the neck ?

You are probably fine. First, if you can get connection to this video, the wifi is likely real, not a fake one. Second, the connection to UKposts is encrypted, so no one can tell what you are watching (unless they look at your screen).

Neodymium Animations and Gaming Also, if someone's using a mobile hotspot to make a "fake wifi" there, and you're watching hi-def UKposts...let's just say they're gonna pay a lot for all that cellular data...😈😈😈

Rohen Giralt Unless they have Unlimited data 😛

Gangster FastForward lmao I commented that 3 years ago haha

Guys is it bad I just used the public WiFi for a few seconds and i didn’t go on any sites or apps

They say it that way because the Patreon donations are literally what is keeping the answers coming - meaning, they are paying for the videos answering the questions to be made. Hence why they chose to word it that way.

Scishow wouldn't be able to make most of their videos without the support of their Patreons, so they're sort of saying "Thank you for supporting us and letting us do what we do, you're the driving force behind these answers."

vicente alvarado -No money = no answers. The questions may keep coming whether or not they get financial support. The financial wherewithal to research and produce the answers comes from patreon.

vicente alvarado I always had the same problem with that, great to see it's not just me.

Yeah, that's kind of a bad sign, isn't it?

sounds bad but true

Well, another reason for me to leave a like

HimKioo i suppose you sound like Morgan Freeman

TOTAL XxOWNAGExX Noice!

Master Therion .. what??

Master Therion "wifi" "wifie" "Wife"

Master Therion lol

Same with my wifi. It is inside my house. :)

+Master Therion ohhh so YOU'RE the reason why your wifi loves having hackers visit her in the kitchen Looool. She's right, you're a jerk. They know more about her than you ever cared to know ♡ lmao.

Lava Cynical thats probably a hotspot and you just ate all the data 😂

To be fair, people expect free electricity, heating, and running water EVERYWHERE too.

Shiro Amura Somebody hasn't gone outside in the real world.

and takes ten times as long

You know, I've always thought Identity Theft and Herpes had a lot in common. Irritating, possibly debilitating, subject to irregular flare-ups, and something you'll have to be aware of and manage constantly the entire rest of your life.

Do you prefer to use private glory holes?

Umm ok? How many people actually know how to fuck around with public wifi? The answer is not very many, and that number keeps getting smaller as the vulnerabilities get harder to exploit, so no it not the same as a glory hole. Anyone seeing a dick peeking through the hole has a variety of options like chopping that dick off

i think op meant they could both give you a virus. the possibility of someone just waiting around to chop another person's genitals off is about as likely as hacking top secret government files at your local starbucks.

Don't do that. Unless I remember to make this reply again, I probably won't.

Oh god no don't be one of those guys

This is spreading like a decease XD

+iAnte NO! TESLA WAS A GOD! HE WAS THE SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD! WORSHIP HIM! You mean one of those kinds of guys?

Ok request with a horrible, horrible announcement of spam. Just don't.

Smart move. You should also make sure that your wifi and bluetooth are turned off if you are not using them.

You should also make sure to throw all electronics away

Is Mobile Internet encrypted?

Andrew, what about ghost hacking? :O

No it's not, and you can man-in-the-middle attack it (as shown in Mr Robot S02). But it's extremely unlikely, especially compared to wifi MITM.

Well, it's safer with encryption. Even safer with 2-step verifications.

safer and safe are 2 different things

And you are right. But the more security measures you have, the less likely you are to be hacked. I don't think encryptions that most websites used can be easily hacked. Most hacking happens with phishing attack, where hacker send you an infected file that steals password from your computer, not through wifi.

I deal with reports of identity theft and phishing emails received by our clients as part of my job at a financial institution. I can tell you the phishing attacks I see generally don't even have viruses in them. They're pure social engineering. Four easy tips to avoid those scams: EDIT: Wow, the bit below came out way longer than I expected. I tell people variants of that WAY too much. It just popped right out there. 1) Always, and I mean *ALWAYS* check the actual Name@Domain.com email address. Phishers will mask it behind something realistic-looking, but it will almost always be a free service or some janky domain. 2) Any bank worth its salt will customize their emails. That means that if it's legit the email will use your name and give you an account reference. Any "security alert" that says 'Dear Customer' and/or doesn't specify what account the problem is with is just plain fake. 3) No bank with security protocols that are up to snuff will use embedded links to their website. EVER. This is because phishing exists and there should be NO confusion. They'll simply tell you to go to their website or call. Embedded link = fraud. 4) Never, EVER call a number listed on an email or letter that you're concerned about. Look up a contact number independently and call that. *ADDENDUM TO 4:* Not all bank numbers are published or made publicly available. Just because the number you see on a letter/email isn't the one listed on the bank web-page doesn't absolutely mean it's fake. Call a known-good contact number to confirm if it otherwise looks plausible.

Rollerz leader emo teens*

Dylans VitaReviews so there emo hackers?

wow you're so EDGY and DARK i'm soo jealous

J.J. Shank did Gaben really say that? He is wise, indeed.

Yes and this is why everyone should used a good browser.

Better yet, get a VPS and set up your own VPN.

https everywhere only forces websites to use https if they have it as an option, though they might not use it as default.

HTTPS everywhere ftw.

LeoMRogers https everywhere can also block all http connections.

True, but the point is it doesn't make a website secure if the secure version wasn't already an option. It's a useful tool, but its not magic.

Nah.

yay in a nutshell I'm a subscriber of yours

You're not, it's a fake channel

TOTAL XxOWNAGExX haha I bet everyone who liked his comment was to lazy to say that themselves

unless you use a vpn to encrypt your no into a yes. kinda.

Druid Agel you're creepy.

Armadillito you are right.

You might argue that matters quite a bit. How much of today's society is based on how everyone sees you? Allowing someone to pose as you, or to sign in to things you used twitter to authenticate for, is definitely a real problem.

Two-step verification with Authy authentication man

Same

Cezar Matus you don't have to be. I don't care about interest rates if I'm taking out a loan in your name with no intention of paying it back.

hahaha good luck getting a loan. I fell off a horse when I was 19 and didn't have insurance. 8,000+ in the whole. fucked my credit score up big time.

Cezar still could max out any credit cards or simply go to place that will give out loans to those with a low credit score in exchange for a higher interest rate

Ethan Education with blackjacks and hookers!

Nope. I'm an actual software developer.

Too bad you didn't develop your own sense of humor.

First rule of crypto: never do your own crypto. Your most secure best is to use what's already out there.

So you can't communicate with any other wifi networks due to them not using your protocol? Or are you secretly connecting your devices with the phone lines of all the coffee shops in the world so that wherever you go only you can access their Internet? Definitely sounds a bit impractical. :P

anti7gn no? they didn't? Sounds like you didn't even watch the video. Good job.

Noel Blackketter that's my question actually.

Did we watch the same video? That's not what I hear.

I did not hear that. It is the frozen snot coming out her nose that made me turn it off.

i didn't notice that, i actually liked the way she talked.

Only if the network isn't properly configured. But still, it never hurts to double check that you're using HTTPS before entering any personal information. Don't trust your ISP if you don't have to.

Sean O Dwyer Fuck you mean?

ionising radiation? no. Something else? yes. Change bad? nothing found yet.

Or just rickroll. In twenty different tabs, on loop.

you're an idiot

True. With a good directional antenna, an attacker can sniff your packets from up to a mile away.
