Hackers are all about curiosity, and security is just a feeling | Chris Nickerson | TEDxFultonStreet

This dude is a legend.

Tech Enthusiasts: Everything in my house is wired to the internet. I can control every part of my home from my smartphone! My smart house is Bluetooth enabled and i can talk to Alexa from anywhere in the house! Wow, the world is great! Engineer/Programmer: the newest piece of technology in my home is a 2004 printer and i keep a loaded gun on me at all times in case it makes a noise I wasn't expecting.

[@spyone4828]

I've seen a guy giving a talk at a security conference on how he has his whole home office wired for automation (mostly through Alexa), so that it says "Good Morning" to everyone in the room by checking which phones are on the wifi, and when he says "Red Alert" it turns all the lights red and plays a siren. He's just aware that it all could be compromised. For example, the tesla coil has a physical switch in addition to the one Alexa controls, because it could be dangerous so he needs to be sure it is turned off. The engineer/programmer/hacker doesn't refuse to carry a smartphone, he just knows to turn off the wifi when he isn't using it so it isn't constantly broadcasting the names of networks it regularly connects to, for example.

12 Step programmes Abandonment “daddy” issues Love pushing buttons. Security is a feeling Casio watch - free phone calls -hacking 1986 Great sense of the surreal. Think I’m in the right job...finally!

[@KingJellyfishII]

If only this kind of thing wasn't discouraged. I'm a 15yo in school and I've found three bugs in the computer system that allow full administrator access, one that allows you to see any file on any computer IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, and I tell the IT department and what happens? I get in trouble, nothing gets fixed.

[@serumser1]

Look at things like a child. Nice talk! Thanks Chris!

[@downumop]

Great talk, you should do a podcast... 😉 ...again. Thanks, Chris.

[@toadill]

This is exactly how I look at hacking. Love it!

[@emberhydra]

1:29 First of. Amazing picture of you asserting dominance with that T pose, as a kid

[@hoklitza]

I wish there were these hacker hubs where I live. Really fascinating stuff

[@BloodSoilandSoul]

Discord is a great place to start.

[@sanityisnofun]

As a homeschooled person 100% ~ you have to learn to live... live to learn..

[@radiozrevenge]

[@HouseJunk1e]

I enjoyed this talk VERY MUCH! :) Thank you.

[@michaellepore105]

This is right up there with people ripping tags of mattresses!!

[@iswargogoi6596]

yeah right a real hacker goes deep into everything and figures out a way to see what more can it do

[@beu9245]

I'll remeber next time i'm wondering what would happen if i pressed the fire alarm button to not hesitate and just push it

[@hellotauji863]

Excellent

[@InvalidPersistentName]

Great talk,am inspired ! :)

[@randomrangoon5476]

I think we all wrestle with our own thoughts. No worries,I really enjoyed your lecture. A lot

[@rajeshnayak8492]

[@CHAOSTHERAPHY]

Verry nice thanks 👍

[@giridharjadala2182]

best talk i have witnessed buudy

[@karlpages4350]

Thanks for the talk. This made me think. Secrets and hoarding. This is what you get. Racketeering until your devices will be too slow to use. Endless vulberability hackers and security patches and obsolete devices. Consumerism in its prime. It's cool ....just give my new toys. Because pollution isn't even real society isn't a thing anymore. Keep each other busy so we don't really need to deal with each others trust issues.

[@rocksownstone9491]

Trust the plan.

[@PrestonedTucson]

still phreaking to this date.... this is how this message made it to here :D

[@thebread9874]

Hackers get remembered but pheeakers never die

[@jksalamon]

Its a Seven(7) year old speech. But it is still as relevant and meaningfull as ever.

[@solangeb3787]

This guy is adorable. I think I just fell in love :)

[@animeprofiles2077]

Love it !

[@taiquangong9912]

Hey from the MO!

[@1414TTT]

Hacker jim has some good points

[@user-xi2th5fm5p]

The problem with this video and others like it is that the speakers never tell you what to do about it.

[@dadestarmysteries255]

Kind of like politicians.

[@dsvechnikov]

Be more careful, remember that everything is hackable in some way. Don't trust computers and don't trust organizations - they all are designed by humans and all have vulnerabilities. Nothing is perfect, nothing is safe, go live in a cave and destroy the entrance to make it very hard to find from above and maybe, just maybe, no one will find you and extract your secrets from you before you die. And of course no internet, no computers, no external power, food and water supply - only stuff you can securely provide to yourself. If you can trust yourself, of course, which I doubt. If not - that means that even stuff you provide yourself is not fully secure. The only way to be absolutely secure is to die right now, immediately, so even if you will be hacked, you won't care anymore. What else you want to hear from them? There's no silver bullet.

[@dadestarmysteries255]

@@dsvechnikov What else? How about some actual solutions. I get they're not going to be perfect but that's no excuse not to offer anything concrete.

[@MrProjectmayhem]

I pushed the button and locked my manager out of her account at work 😅 some laugh though.

[@coprice94]

im telling

[@devilsdeckofcards]

it be great if this had a transcript actively, not the KZbin transcript thing (that thing is worse). I have to listen to this for an essay and not even 2x fast is keeping my focus.

[@coprice94]

the only way to stop all this is to go back the old days

[@waynelamay8276]

there is no link to pdf

[@julicardozo_2]

in doubt push a button

[@Niels357]

Einstein sad it "nothing more relative as security"

[@cyberdreame]

what matters more security or freedom?

[@anexusthanatos4021]

Hackers love freedom. $$$

[@edbrackeen5979]

Push the button

[@deeb5688]

Chris Nickerson can I ask you a question?

[@indigosax]

Sure thing... What's up?

[@kojoedc]

Didnt know that Matt Damon is a hacker

[@rocksownstone9491]

Matt Damon must’ve really let himself go.

[@potato2210]

any otakus watching this?? look at the screen at 5:24

[@pamcota3451]

Funny kid, but insightful. !

[@jjjj-x9g]

Kid? lmao

[@that_one_doggo8391]

Why does Ted talk so much???

[@hashimabbasi528]

YOLO

[@v.prestorpnrcrtlcrt2096]

Pushing too many buttons may lead to C-Vid

[@jessikopecky]

He's just not getting the laughs he deserves.
