1:31 Dennis in his natural habitat

The TunnelBear ad would have been the best

3:51 Was that guy disguising himself as himself?

In my first year of software development in college, during our orientation, we were warned on the first day to never purchase anything with a credit card because people have had their numbers and identities stolen before. It is also noteworthy that my college was teaching a networking security course and it was discontinued because a student was able to rig the results of the student association elections using the skills they were taught.

What if all I send to my friends are only dank memes? Am I safe?

Just discovered this channel. Good stuff.

Linux as fast as possible

Linus just said dank memes... life complete

Great video as always! I had hoped you would touch on the comcast hotspot issue. I hear I should turn it off, but I would love to know the actual security risks it poses? Perhaps that needs its own video...

thank you very much for your clearcut points

Love the transition men xD Awesome stuff :)

0:06 - Jian Yang! I love that show.

Thanks for the glasswire heads up

It's not letting me close out of the comment box so um yeah hi

No1 tip - use the internet speed meter always notification (may be it's inbuilt or download one third party like internet speed meter lite) And when ever your data is being transferring (For no reason)you can see it by seeing the high speed in the notification. Once I connected a open wifi in a shop and I suddenly see that my internet consumption suddenly increased,I I instantly off the wifi . And then see the data usage stats and I noticed that In past few seconds my chrome and message app data usage become 100s of MBs. Proof that all of this data is transferred to some hacker. Be aware !! 🙅

"A screen door made of... cheese." I laughed out loud at that sentence.

Great reminder, thanks a lot👍

Using a VPN can also help you get around a school's network filter. Use an app called VPN Defender, and disconnect when you are on your home network or on a data network.

Absolutely agree. These days snoopers can attack from anywhere. This is the exact reason why I installed purevpn to keep myself safe as i have to travel alot in my job and sometimes i have no choice but to use public wifi

How about different display technologies (IPS, AMOLED, etc.) as fast as possible? I've always wondered how these work.

Very useful information! 👍🏼

I feel that my Home Net are safe and I own a good router and a NAS that have VPN functions, but I has never use them just for I lack the knowledge how to set it up and what I actually can do with my router and NAS. Can you do a small quickie about that?

getting hacked through wifi is like getting attacked by a shark or eating tampered halloween candy... it doesn't happen. why freak out if it doesn't happen?

"The shady white van parked outside"? I'll have to use that one some time.

The Dennis Photoshop is fabulous

If you use a VPN could the transmission be intercepted between your device before it reaches the VPN's proxy server where it's encrypted?? Also could the VPN service track all of your internet usage and record it?

UKposts needs to get that resolution upload problem fixed.

My ISP dropped my family because i was downloading too much DANK MEMES!!!!!!!!

Question, if I set up a VPN server on my router and connect to it via my android phone on a public WIFI, will it be secure when using apps (gmail, etc) while on the public WiFi? Or is that security only when accessing items on my home network ? Will it do a passthrough once connected and use my home internet for everything?

if on an unsecure network, is only your browsing during the connection hackable? Other information such as your passwords and financial accounts - that you do not use during the unsafe connection - are not hackable, are they?

Okay guys these are my specs , intel(R)core i7 2600 cpu @3.40GHz -3.70GHz , ram is 8.00 gb,system type= windows 7 ultimate 64bit operating system(6.1 build 7600) , internal hard disk =1 .0 tb western digital , cooler master fan, chip type ati display adapter , graphics card= ati radeon hd 5400 series, graphics memory 4083 mb is this any good? i really dont know much about pc and stuff but my pc lags when i play like pes2016 and payday2 , are these specs shit? should i get a new cpu ?thank you

What is the best option(s) to secure a home router with a VPN?

I would like to see a video about DPC latency.

good vid thankyou for making these mlg videos lmg.

Couldnt a hacker use the SAME SSID as the public hotspot and so you wouldnt know if your connected to the real hotspot?

Whatever would Linus do without his over-abundance of stock photos.

Good tips Linus!

For real ? I thought you guys will have TunnelBear as the sponsor !

Isn't the first one Linus was talking about a MiTM attack? He made it seem like the second one was different or am I mistaken?

so if i was connected a bit to public wifi, but then i connected back to a private wifi network, is my information safe? i also clicked forget this network for the public wifi network to be safe. would i be safe?

Techquickie please respond, do you have a video explaining how to use VPNs?

Don't Signed SSL certificates keep your transmission encrypted from your device all the way to the server/website etc. your trying to access?

So close to being the best sponsor moment!

DANK INTERNET MAYMAYS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE IM STILL WAITING LINUS

Would using TeamViewer on public Wi-Fi to access my PC at home help secure my traffic?

How does this work with mobile apps? If I am on public wifi (xfinity wifi, etc...) should I go through the browser for sites like reddit, facebook, netflix, etc... instead of using the mobile app?

Linus: can you please do a video to explain how we might identify if the VPN service we have bought is actually trustworthy. The VPN I purchased CLAIMS that the traffic is encrypted, CLAIMS that the servers are in 36 different countries, and CLAIMS not to keep logs of our activity. How do I know that the VPN service isn't actually Skippy sitting in his mom's basement in Saskatchewan, monitoring all my activity and just waiting until I put in the ID and password for my facebook, or email, or online banking. Is there any way to identify if any of the claims of my VPN provider are actually true?

the 6 who disliked are probably hackers that don't want you to be safe

Speaking about public Wi-Fi, some of them have time limits. And you have to "check in" to gain access to them. Is there a way to reset or even remove the time limit on them? I have asked this question before on the forums but didn't get much help on the subject.

But Linus, why linustechtips page not have https thing?

Great video Linus

Which program can i use to spec the trafic?

So how can you install a public wifi for a local cafe resturant. Currently i have a modem from the isbn.

You know there's plenty of msf exploits that still work on many windows machines which will give you a remote command line to their computer with the ability to upload files just by being connected to the same network and having kali 2.0 on your laptop in the shady white van outside. From there you could launch a RAT on their PC, and when that happens VPNs and https aren't going to help.. at all.

Will I be as secure if I use Tor browser instead of a VPN?

VPNs are useful for more than just having a secure connection. GEMA in Germany forces UKposts to block a large number of (mostly music) videos. Me? I set up a VPN to the US when I was stationed in Germany, allowing me to access any content I could access in the US but not in Germany.

i use [Betternet or hideme] for the VPN

How can you force a site to use https if it doesn't use it in the first place? Won't the site go through some place first before going to you? How would know that place (extension) is 100% safe then?

This quality reminds me of UKposts '05!

Informative video

The opposite of connecting to malicious hot spots is "war driving"; where the bad actor tries to connect to your hot spot or network. Need to be careful using both avenues of connecting.

can a mitm attack be seen by using the tracert command?

why not tunnel bear advert? that wouldda been dope, but sweet video man

Confused? If I use VPN, that more then likely would require me to use a username/password, wouldn't that mean the attacker can get that hold of that? The same goes for HTTPS?

"Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up" What did I do to deserve this in list on the right side of the page?

Mr Linus, at 2:44, can someone steal your https encryption key as well?? I'm new to networking and i'm not sure about tls and stuff

WHY DIDNT YOU USE TUNNEL BEAR FOR THE SPONSOR!? XD

That's why I use my hotspot on my iPhone to get online on my laptop

sub system anallicktics and how your files and and interaction really works over the www

How do I trust a lot of your information Techquickie posts? How can I trust you? Just wondering.

Then which Wi-Fi network is secure? seems like every network can be exploited, even my university Wi-Fi which uses wpa2 encryption.

shoulda used tunnel bear for the promo spot. more fitting

Could you make a video about the best free and paid VPNs or at least direct me to a video on the subject?

What is the difference between buying a boxed CPU and a Tray/OEM CPU???

I have a question: can the guy running the vpn sy on your data? I use a vpn daily and I'm pretty worried about this.

Do a video on Limited Access.

Uhh Linus what you described about stealing the handshake can be done without the attacker needing to be connected to the access point. If they are connected you're pretty much fucked as they can get everything.

Does Techquickie have a consistent upload schedule?

I did some intercepting on a wifi hotel network just as a test and now some dumb neighbor is on my home wifi trying the same so I'm looking for a way to get his ip and ddos him

0:26 that is literally all I do on public wifi.

1:45 If I am seeing it right, I use that laptop lol

SSL/TSL doesn't protect again MITM attacks especially on Public wifi ether because it too requires a handshake which if the person is already routing traffic through there computer from the wifi they can also intercept the handshake process of establishing a secure connection by taking the key themselves and then giving you a key for there connection and this probably would fool someone good with computers but for the lay person this might make them think they have a successful connection with the said site but it is being routed through the MITM's computer where then they can encrypt the data send it off to the server and then return what comes back.

1:32 I though the dude in red was Nicky V lol

Was waiting for TunnelBear to come up lol

yes, but arent almost every app/website aware of this today and use https and such(the major ones like instagram or twitter or youtube)...or are they also able to read that that too

Out of curiosity, anyone know who edited this video?

didn't address that window of time one spends between clicking through a captive portal and firing up a VPN (hint: minimize traffic/dont run background net apps till you are in the VPN...) -- Also, if in doubt, just tether to your phone, BT or Wifi...

I love the buillshit hacker stock photo's! xD I once saw one with a guy who had on a black ski mask and black gloves pointing a gun at a laptop. xD

What do you think about Wi-Fi Passpoint? It was meant to be the next new thing in Wi-Fi but has not happened.

Against Man in the Middle attacks HTTPS is just a formality (actually, almost everything is useless against MiTM, check ssl strip for more info.

oh no my dank memes they've been compromised!

Hey I have a legit question. If someone ssl strips me or makes a fake dns server am I safe then with using https? If they get my ssl handshake isn't it like really easy for them to see all the data flowing through?

Does a VPN Help with this issue at all?

Gf learning programming in uni, and she said that its just as easy to hack in https as in http. Well that is for someone with knowlage.

I do indeed send dank memes to my friends.

I did some intercepting on a wifo network and now some dumb neighbor is on my home wifi trying the same so I'm looking for a way to get his ip and ddos him

You guys should do a video on linux or Ubuntu

But with VPN, are you able to connect to the VPN before connecting to the public wifi?

What exactly does HTTPS do? Does it encrypt data before it's sent over any networks? If so, how?

love the videos
