Last month, August 2023 Ryan was a big part to play at Pierogi's Scammer Payback call centre helping to shut down scam call centres in India. Amazing work Ryan and thank you for being on the good side young sir. Much love to you, keep up the good work!.

[@M9A1MAN]

I've been in law enforcement for 15 years, and I agree with this gentleman. We've started seeing a huge increase of home break ins where the thief's have a signal jammer. These jammers can not only jam cell signals which most alarms now use to communicate with the central alarm company, but also alarm sensors, and even police radios. My guys went to a call and caught the thief before he was able to get away and the officers noticed that non of their radios were working (they couldn't transmit/receive). These devices are getting easier and easier to get. I always recommend a hardwired alarm system when possible. Keep car keys inside faraday bags. We also recently had a home invasion where the homeowners alarm system did not go off because the 4 thief's had a signal jammer that could jam multiple frequencies at the same time.

[@TimothyMcVay]

Was the house specifically targeted, nice area ? Also what state if you don't mind me asking.. or east or west coast if not state. My folks are older & have had some weird things happening with their alarm system & people being caught on ring camera. Just wondering. Be safe out there

[@M9A1MAN]

@@TimothyMcVay Nevada, nice area yes. I don't recall if the house was targeted or not. In my experience, they usually are. It's very rare they target a house randomly. I remember getting a bulletin from another agency out of state and they're starting to catch these guys with jammers also. In my house my entire alarm is hard wired and has two forms of communication back to central office. Via cell, and internet (hardline) as backup. DO NOT ever get SimpliSafe though. Those are using common ham bands frequencies and a cheap ham radio could bypass them. If you're stuck with a wireless system, the best bet is to get one where the main alarm system will basically send out frequent requests to the sensors asking "are you still there?" If it doesn't get a response (being jammed or low battery) the alarm goes off or alerts you. Lastly I will say that home invasions have been through the roof. To the point where I have never seen in my entire career. Be armed, be prepared at all times. Hopes this helps.

Ryan Montgomery knows this better than most. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Pennsylvania-born was one of those computer whiz kids we’ve always heard about, exposed to computers at ten years old, making his way up through the hacker world and putting his skills into online marketing. In his own words, he did exceptionally well in the field. All was not well, however. Montgomery had also developed a drug addiction. It’s a common enough story, and one we’ve all heard: success mixed with drug abuse. And sure enough, it eventually landed Montgomery in jail. “That was my rock bottom,” he says. He got into recovery, got clean and sober, and along with Christopher Ferry, helped found the Boca Recovery Center in Florida. “Since then, I’ve put my skills in computers and online marketing to helping others overcome their addiction.” Skimming through Montgomery’s Instagram is to see a case study in the phrase “life after addiction.” There are all the markers of success: a house, car, lavish dinners with friends. But there is also a clear sense of purpose: photos of him at Boca Recovery, posts about the center’s scholarship program, and a general encouragement that those who need help seek it.

[@deanlewis9599]

I work in the field so it's it was nothing I wasn't aware of but I found it alarming and informative just how uninformed the average person is on how vulnerable their things are. obviously I didn't expect nurses to be informed to the level I am about MITM attacks (just an example) but I guess stuff like this has become so commonplace to me that im now jaded in terms of what people outside the field are aware of. seeing how shocked people are in the comments has blown my mind. especially taking into account that nothing he discussed is particularly new either. the compact, all-in-one device things he's using are new-ish but even some of them have been around for several years. what they do has been possible for several more years, just required considerably more hardware making it much awkward to use in the real world.

[@deanlewis9599]

in the early 1990s, before I had turned 10 years old, my parents bought us a home computer. we weren't some of the earliest to have a home computer but we definitely had one before they started becoming commonplace. for example, when we got ours, literally only 1 other person I knew had a computer at home. about a year after getting it, we had to 'upgrade' to the first widely used version of Windows (Windows 3.1 which came before Windows 95). I instantly became deeply fascinated and my inner geek was activated. before I was 12, I'd learned 2-4 different programming languages from books checked out from the library. my point is that I get vibes from Ryan that he shares that interest in these things that goes deeper than just doing it as a job. he's considerably younger (more intelligent & more successful as well) than I am but as I'd expect most higher level professionals in our field of work, I am capable of doing everything he mentioned being able to do with those devices. those devices basically make a nice, small, well organized toolbox consisting of the things needed to communicate over the most commonly used frequencies & protocols as well as the ability to load custom code (the actual attacks or exploit itself would be the code, the antenna & such just make it so the code is transmitted the right way). anyhow, I can't help but smile at the fact that a frickin Navy SEAL, one of the most well trained, toughest in every possible conceivable way, what is more or less the most effective, efficient, & professional instrument of warfare repeatedly telling Ryan "you're a dangerous man" because he is capable of doing things that I am also capable of doing lol. it's pretty wild to me. it's a pretty commonly shared belief that I'm pretty sure the recipe to creating Navy SEALs is taking a group of humans who already have beyond elite levels of intelligence, physical/mental strength as well as endurance & perseverance and you somehow increase those qualities even more. then you put more badassery than 5 human should ever be able to contain and put it into each individual SEAT cadet. the small few who are capable of containing this absurd level of badassery without their meat suits literally exploding are what we refer to as the Navy SEALs. the human embodiment of badassery. fuck around and find out if it were a human being. a Navy fuckin SEAL, what you would see in a thesaurus under 'dangerous man' is telling Ryan he's a dangerous man for having skills and knowledge that I also have. it's a bit of an ego boost for me tbh haha. especially with Shawn because being a SEAL is only the first line of a very long list of his Ph.D in badassery credentials

Hackers are so intriguing to me. Like they could literally do so much wrong, but also they can be used for a lot of good. I guess all depends on the person and their morals.

[@Dang3rMouSe]

Yup. Often depends on the individual's moral code & where their interests lie. Don't know if he went over it in the main video but there are white hats (hack for good, call out vulnerabilities that need fixing, etc...) & black hat (maliciously exploits vulnerabilites of their targets for any number of reasons.) Many switch back & forth between hats as easily as they inhale & exhale.

[@W8RIT1]

there are White Hat and Red Hat "hackers", as well as pen testers, penetration testers. They are certified and usually subcontracted by large companies to have another company try to hack in to their computer systems, or access areas or rooms of buildings. They then report the weaknesses to their customer so there are corrections. So some of this knowledge can be quite commonly used for a good and lawful purpose. Then there are ways that you can protect yourself. Such as I can post a link of 2 British car thieves that stole a Mercedes in seconds without even waking the owner by hacking his keyfob. They duplicated his recorded keyfob response to become stronger so the car would recognize it and allow access and driving. It took maybe 10 seconds and they didn't break a window or a sweat.

[@W8RIT1]

There are also Anonymous hacktivists that shut down pedophilia and neo-Nazi websites on the dark web. Often they provide information to law enforcement.

[@Jackson_Zheng]

As someone who has dabbled in this stuff in the past, most serious hackers aren't really motivated by money and they don't really care about a random person's data. The reason the hack is largely because it's fun. Many of the big hacks that are done by individuals (hacker groups are different) are done because they were bored. It's not until they get into financial difficulty that they hack for money. Those hacks are usually the easiest to do and quite well known so it's not really that exciting to them.

I love this guy, reminds me of old electronic surplus stores I'd visit as a teenager in the late 90's and could (and still have some of) an accumulated wireless devices, fingerprint id devices n & other items. Eventually corporate security producers realized this & reigned in the second-hand market on many things.

[@brendandrury2177]

That term "IOT," stands for "Internet of Things," and I think some of what he mentions is about how radiowaves, specific frequencies, can send waves to coffee makers, refrigerators, Bluetooth devices, etc. to activate a device--a thing--in the IOT. Ring doorbells are a very common IOT. I hope this man returns to the show.

If someone wanted to as an example, the vacuum mop with wifi, when you run it you can basically make a digital blueprint of there home and know where rooms are located, sometimes use a form of frequencies from other devices like a smart tv, gaming console, computer ect ect to send frequencies to give a digital view of your home and what is inside also Alexa, Siri and hey google can pick up your voice to see who you are then once they see who that person is look into there last visits on the past 2 months, what they buy, there habits ect ect.

this has been going on at this capacity for years and years. i used to be close to a guy that was an ethical hacker. i still think he has access to all of my devices and networks and i havnt seen him in years. he knows where i live, where my parents live. he had physical access to an old phone. i had to trash all of my modems, routers, computers, phone just for peace of mind. and still, because he knows where i live, they can brute force into the network..among other ideas. we are a long ways from safe. likely never will be. it's a powertrip. the ultimate powertrip.

Best way to get in to the cyberspace is, certifications+ competitions+ ofc a job. Certs General mix theory and hands on, some of the early on ones are mostly theory - waln before you run type logic. Competitions - ctfs/rvb events, are hands on practice and help with application in a non linear environment. And a job is a job not much to say there.

As to Garage door openers, never leave power to them ! Have a switch inside your home, that supplies power to the Door opener ! It may be an inconvenience, but worth the trouble !

Simply place your Key Fob, or even your Cell Phone inside the empty mylar bag, and seal it closed ! The Mylar will seal out radio signals ! Enjoy your Coffee, knowing you have some Security !

[@deanlewis9599]

i guess working in this field has my mind a bit jaded because i was truly surprised at how surprised Shawn was that things i consider simple (and i know have been possible for many years) could be done so easily. now I'm extremely curious if the average person, non-InfoSec professional has the smallest clue how vulnerable pretty much any electronic of theirs is. i feel like i just now realized what i assumed was common knowledge isn't common knowledge at all. it'd probably cause serious panic if everyone instantly became fully informed on this topic

Of course they have no idea. People are barely hanging on as it is. Working round the clock for crappy pay. Now they're expected to be experts in cyber security?

And the rich assholes who introduced all this vulnerable tech will flee to their compounds in New Zealand.

When people talk like this is makes it harder on the right people to do their hacking, but not impossible. He just scratched the surface of what is going on every second of the day. People thought there is no way they will ever be able to bug our homes and today people are paying money to be spied on willingly. Twenty five years ago I had a friend who would not say anything on a cell phone because he knew what was going on with them back then. Nothing is safe, but it can be fun

Toyota model cars are especially weak against devices like the flipper zero, because the key FOBs don't have a rolling code, even for the newer models. This makes it extremely easy for the flipper zero to record the 2.4 ghz. frequency and be able to emulate the signal to unlock and start the car.

1. Use a password manager. Make sure your passwords are long and complex. 2. Install an anti-virus program (and make sure that it is up to date). 3. Use an RFID blocking wallet and make use an RFID shield for your keyfob. 4. Be careful of unsafe websites. 5. Use common sense.

[@AintSkeerdNWO]

Are you a cyber security professional?

[@morganator4874]

I'd disagree on using a password manager. They are being hacked. A good example of this is LastPass. I wouldn't trust storing passwords in a password vault anymore.

[@youtubeshortsareamazing_]

What about zero day?

[@W11l]

​@@youtubeshortsareamazing_. User behavior is a large part of staying safe online (example: Don't open unsolicited emails you weren't expecting) so it is important that you make smart decisions and be cautious when online. This goes back to the whole "use common sense" part. Zero Day attack attacks are called "Zero day" for a reason. There is no signature/patch to protect you. If your anti-malware security program is unable to protect you then it goes back to keeping the best user behavior. Keep in mind, many of the malware (Zero days or not) uses emotional manipulation to make you want to click certain links. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Again, use common sense.

[@paulbradbury5792]

Most crimes are crimes of opportunity and many thieves will go to the lowest hanging fruit first. If you project an "organized quality" and don't draw attention to yourself, your going to be much less likely viewed as low hanging fruit. This and having backup controls in place in the event of theft, common sense things like locking the interior door to your garage, having total loss protection on your car loan so if someone steals your car, you just get a new one. People gaining access to a facility from a key card isn't the concern of a regular citizen but for a facilities manager and they often have backup measures like guards and video surveillance. Also being aware of your surroundings and paying attention to suspicious people is a good thing.

[@AintSkeerdNWO]

Hackers live for "I dare you" opportunities. Those are hardly low hanging fruit. The low life criminal on the street - yes, be situationally aware. You will never know if/when a hacker has been in, aor back out of your system: or in & out as he pleases if you have a big enough portfolio or crypto wallet.

[@efnissien]

Yeah, there's a shit ton of stuff out there for getting into places (buildings, bank accounts etc.) you shouldn't. It's the guys who can fabricate new tools to beat new locks, new RFID locking systems etc. that for me are scary. I work in the security industry, and I once, several years ago had a manager that encouraged us (the team on site) to learn nefarious skills, lock picking, pickpocketing, card skimming, malicious social engineering etc. to 'know our enemy' and know the vulnerabilities of our systems and procedures.

As a ethical hacker in training this is all so fascinating. Ive Been practicing breaching my own house internet and fake dummy phones and im to the point where im getting ready to take contracts because im running out of things I cant figure out and I can say is there is no limit to what hackers can do. With enough creativity and skill nothing and nobody is safe. Im an advocate for proper Ai use as thatll make black hackers jobs a walk in the park if they find possible breaches in them. The concern isnt what Ai is capable of its what hackers are.
