All of the techniques mentioned are not issues anymore. HTTPS HSTS exists and browsers have preloaded lists that prevent man in the middle attacks on laptops and smartphones.

[@peterhansson554]

Nice video. But it's obvious that any information regarding SSL/TLS och certificates were intentionally left out to make the attacks seem more serious than they really are, which ultimately favors your sponsor. This means that visiting sites with SSL/TLS with a man in the middle, the attacker can see DNS requests, but any communication between parties are encrypted after the TLS session is set up. Also, if an attack present you with a bad website, your user-agent/web browser will by default present you eith a certificate error.

[@MrTwoZZT]

Can depend how clueless the person having their traffic diverted is, the person doing the man in the middle could do something to get the user to click on a special page to install a custom certificate from the attackers machine and set it as trusted source, that way the attacker can then decrypt the incoming pages and re-encrypt the traffic with their custom certificate, the certificate being trusted on the end users device means that they wont see any errors and the attacker can then see all the data in the encrypted pages. This get used already in corporate/education environments where they have a web filter and want to inspect says a users search traffic for words/terms that they want to block (Proxies, adult content, etc.) and they only way to do this is via HTTPS decrypt and inspect.

Hi Chuck and team, if VPN sponsors are okay with it; would be great if you could mention self-hosting a VPN after the sponsor spot and link to your video in your description. While I understand it’s a sponsor spot, any VPN would protect a user. The benefit of commercial VPN’s is their number of nodes, number of countries, other security and privacy tools. Pushing the additional benefits harder but also mentioning that you can also self-host easily if you don’t want to use the sponsor would be a good compromise. If the sponsor is okay with it and you want to of course.

[@MarlonSalewski]

I totally agree to this comment. Very code idea and even not that hard to set up by yourself. But I think there are more than enough people who just want to buy a good VPN subscription with a few simple clicks instead of setting it up and hosting it by them selves.

[@unrealzman68]

It should be noted that self hosting, does not stop your ISP from seeing your traffic. The tunnel exists between your network and your client device. However, while the ip of your device won't be seen, your network activity is still in full view of the ISP, because the door is within your network and the ISPs door is the only way traffic is getting in or out. Basically wherever the hosted service is located is where encryption ends. If your using a VPN provider, they can protect you from your ISP, however they (the vpn)get to see all your data. Whether or not they share that data with advertisers or authorities is up to them.

[@ryanscott73]

Yeah, I have wieguard setup on my raspberry pi through pivpn. My phone and tablet are always connected to that. Helps me feel secure without having to pay for a VPN.

[@joshuapettus6973]

@@unrealzman68 That's why it is also important to use some other DNS service other than the ISPs and point all devices on you self hosted VPN server to use that DNS server. A self hosted DNS recursive server with pihole/unbound is a great tool for this though there are other services you can use. Most websites you visit are HTTPS encrypted. As such, the ISP can only see the DNS requests. Not if you use another DNS.

[@snarp_]

@@unrealzman68 What's the point of hiding traffic from your own ISP and showing it to the VPN host and their ISP? If you do anything illegal the VPN company will provide data to the authorities just like the ISP would. The real use of a VPN would be to encrypt your traffic in public networks like at a cafe or if your school/work has an insecure network setup. Or to appear in a different location for geolocked services.

Man in the middle attacks are very obvious for modern network comms which are encrypted these days. Someone might be able to spoof and man in the middle and get some info like DNS lookups but as soon as a user sees a bunch of scary warnings about certificates they would know something is up. Browsers also make it non obvious how to bypass the warning, minimizing the chance someone will click through. A good mitigation would be to use HTTPS everywhere. Another would be VPN and for laptops it's probably sensible to do that. But there aren't hackers lurking around every corner and I think some common sense is the best defence. I do think that wifi passwords in coffee shops & restaurants are easy to guess, especially if you go to some resort town. If I go somewhere like Spain or Turkey where every place has wifi then chances are the password is SomethingYear where Something is GoodBeer, GoodFood, the name of the place, the name of the resort etc. and Year is 2021, 2022, 2023 or whenever they last set their password.

[@kenough90]

Browsers implement a protection called HSTS that protects you from things like MitM attacks that involve DNS spoofing. It's pretty effective. There used to be a workaround but I think it was fixed.

[@richardtillman9705]

Hey do you have any sources to keep up to date with this kind of stuff?

[@oussamazidane7854]

not the HSTS, since the first time you visit website the ip adress is stocked in the cach of your device browser

[@insertnamehere4550]

The issue being most websites don't implement HSTS. And even if they do, it won't protect you if you haven't visited said website yet or not in a while, because even less websites implement HSTS preload. Browsers tend to enforce upgrading to HTTPS internally, but the behavior is not the same on every browser and there are still gaps in some of them. For instance in Chromium based browsers by default if you click on a link beginning with and the website does not support HSTS (and HSTS preload if you haven't visited it yet or not in a while) the first request will be sent in plaintext.

[@tarakivu8861]

@@oussamazidane7854 You are thinking about DNS caching, but HSTS stores if this domain should only be accessible via TLS. So sites you visit which have HSTS configured aswell as HSTS preload lists will keep your browser from connecting to these sites if any TLS errors occur (including connecting via http)

[@petergroehler3061]

HSTS is essentially to force encryption of web traffic by always using https. You are still vulnerable to MitM with wifi though.

If the attacker does it properly there wont be a noticeable delay or transfer slow-down. But as TLS is nowdays the standard, not very much can be done anymore anyways.

Chuck, it is always a pleasure to listen and take in what you are saying. I have been playing with computers since 1974, skipping out of high school to play with a PDP11 at the local teachers college.

What I learn today, I will most likely forget in a couple of weeks :-), hence why I actively come back to your site. Kali Linux, brilliant, but it can turn a very dumb person into a uncontrolable hacker, not by their brilliance, but by the simplicity of the tool. Today, I thought I was relatively safe by not using public wifi, how wrong I am, not knowing that my samrt phone would continue to broadcast for the networks which I do trust.

But it was in a movie with George C. Scott called The Changeling. He moved into this house after his wife died. It was haunted by the ghost of a little boy. The boy still liked to play with his ball, and it kept rolling around the house. Finally George C. Scott took it and dropped it off of a bridge miles away. When he got back and walked in the door, that ball came bouncing across the floor toward him, and this time it was like it was ANGRY. He shoved himself back up against the door in terror, and I wanted to hide behind my chair. It's amazing how good directors can manipulate our moods in these movies.

[@markmuir7338]

Experts saying VPN is useless are those who recognize that most people are using only HTTPS these days, so a VPN adds little extra. Experts saying VPN is a must have are sponsored by a VPN company.

[@jegannathS]

Well that's because most people don't do stuff that begs the FBI to raid them so VPN isn't really necessary it's only when you need to 1) watch content that's not available in your area or 2) Bypass a firewall Apart from that a VPN isn't really needed too much or else i might be forgetting some use case. At the top level VPNs aren't used because if you are really doing something BIG then whoever you are up against has enough tech to bypass a VPN and still trace you out. So simply put 1) For beginners VPN is useless coz you aren't really going to use it for such an advanced shit 2) For higher levels you are gonna be traced out anyways so forget it.

[@67fabs]

It depends of the context, a VPN is useful if you want to reach some services in your entreprise or your home network. But the VPN as most people understand it now as NordVPN and etc are almost useless except if you want to emulate your localization to reach some services filtered by countries for examples. All security arguments are quite bullshit (it's quite uncommon to have services running on HTTP and not HTTPS) as better privacy too (lot of these companies are suspected to sell private data and IP addresses are not needed anymore to track users since a long time).

[@billant2]

Because 99.5% of websites nowadays are already HTTPS encrypted (minus the IP/location). If the NordVPN server gets hacked, then they got all you traffic remotely without even having to be near you with a WiFi spoofer.

[@billant2]

I rather spread out my traffic over multiple HTTPS encrypted websites, than getting all my info siphoned off from a central VPN server by hackers of government. Simple as that.

[@thesoulsender]

Just thought I'd mention that even without VPN, using the internet is still usually secure and fine. Most websites use HTTPS now which encrypts data sent which stops MitM attacks like this from happening. Chunk specifically chose DNS when demonstrating because DNS is not usually encrypted (even though you can encrypt it).

[@benoitmarc-andre1733]

MitM attacks try to spoof the original web site like fishing and for the dns it'sd true but i never take the lesst bussy my job, icloud or google . so i get many time up event if i'm not on wifi but whit good cat 5

[@kubo-svk790]

​@benoitmarc-andre1733 I kind of disagree. HTTPS is really robust, and all you can see is URL in SNI during TLS handshake or in DNS request. You would need to change DNS response to spoof the original page, as payload of HTTPS is encrypted until you own certificates privatekey. Mitigate TLS handshake is also super complicated as selfsigned certificate will be automatically refused and no CA will generate cerificate for already existing domain. At the sametime many web sites nowadays use DNSSEC and HSTS, which prevents practically every MiTM attempt of attack on HTTP protocol. So browsing internet over HTTPS is really secure even if there is someone listening as only info he will get is URL (even that can be changed as DNS request can be encrypted and sent using TLS and TLSv1.3 allows SNI encryption)

[@sexyplexie]

except there is information disclosure even when SSL is used... ex: the victim is sitting in his pajamas in a motel6 browsing the raunchiest porn imaginable, and you know this because you just watched him spend 3 hours hitting porn sites over and over, occasionally clogging up the network with what is most likely video streams. you add this to your blackmail runbook, you don't know "exactly" what he was viewing, but he doesn't know that... however, had your target been using a VPN you'd have no idea what was going on. zero. ---- separately, and maybe a salient point, there is more on the 'net than websites, and not all mobile apps use encryption like they should.

[@thesoulsender]

yeah you're right but I already mentioned that. Using encrypted DNS stops that though, and you can do it for free. Someone could see its video streams, but so what? Without the domain it could just be youtube or any other video streaming website. My point is that not using a VPN is not "insecure" and "dangerous" like how it's portrayed in this video. You are sacrificing a bit of privacy by not using a VPN but there is not really any security risk. My point is not that commercial VPNs are useless (I use a paid commercial VPN myself) but the average person probably does not need one and companies like Nord manipulate the technical details to get people to buy a service they do not need.@@sexyplexie

nah, those monitoring wifi cards on the pro hacker would be in some sort of box that would look like a powerbank for his phone and do all the attacks from his phone or use the flipper.

[@MrPir84free]

Likely, your best recourse would be to have your own private internet connection and be willing to use that instead; like tethering off your smartphone. This is indeed the BEST approach to such restrictive free wifi networks. But there is a looming question that comes to mind: After you start accessing the internet, is then is the VPN connection still blocked ? I don't use NordVPN, but Surfshark; it allows both openvpn and wireguard protocols; so trying another protocol might work; for example, I have 4 options with Surfshark; "automatic", OpenVPN using TCP, OpenVPN using UDP, and Wireguard. If I could not get thru using one of those other protocols, I'd resort to tethered internet from my smartphone!!! Am considering one of the gl.inet Spitz or Spitz AX router with a sim card from a prepaid plan for internet access; currently I have found that the Beryl AX router receives wifi better than my smartphone does, and use one of those to repeat wifi ( and it can handle the vpn as well for all connected devices ). . In the end, I'd resort to using a USB cable and tether my phone up to my computer instead. At a hotel, I might try the Beryl AX to connect to another free wifi and go from there if it works. It does receive signals better than my phone or laptop does; so there is that. Am considering this Spitz AX router simply because I am planning on becoming a professional vacationer soon..

This is the thing that I've never understood how people allowed into the wifi standard.
