How to Secure Your Home Wifi Network🛡️🌐🏠 (and other internet security tips)

[@aalvarez711]

As a security professional myseld, I am actually surprised that this is a good video for home users. I was expecting some cringe. Good video! The biggest boost in security for normal users is to definitely use a password manager. too many people just re-use passwords and with all the breaches over the years, if you have been using the same password's for every site, your password has been 100% pwned. Remembering passwords is a chore, let the computer handle it.

[@carnuroalnanda5241]

Thanks for the Video! Apologies for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you researched - Mahorrla Defence Wisdom Method (just google it)?

My concern with password managers is that once a hacker guesses your master password, then they have all of your passwords, no matter how "secure" you think they might be, all in one convenient place in the password manager account.

[@n3y3g04]

Great overview. Two more tips: most routers have a "guest network" setup where you can assign a separate SSID and password for guests to use your wifi which you can configure to not be able to access the (main) local network. Any IoT device you own such as a webcam should be placed on this guest network. And - a hidden SSID avoids the problem of wardriving by neighbors or unfriendlies. You covered the most critical stuff for normies, however.

[@Benjamim600]

I'm a normie when it comes to this topic, and I just used the tips in the video to setup my router. But I have a question: Does my router have this "guest network" setup when it's configured to be an access point for another router?

Dictionary in my country will be challenging if the users use the local language for passwords. Not only we have long words (compared to English words), on top of that we have 15 declinations of every noun which adds 1-4 letters to each root noun. And they occasionally modify the root as well.

[@saulbadillohernandez2749]

When using dictionary attacks the lenght doesn't affect that much and declinations and such are still pratons that can be used when you create the dictionary so yeah it might be a little tricky but if the attacker is a native speaker it can be done.

about WPS id like to thank you for alerting the viewers to turn it off in all the diagnostics ive run in many routers i saw that i managed to get their password by using pixie dust on like, 90% of them pixie dust is a method that can get the routers password by exploiting a fail that comes "built in" on the devices hardware the only 2 ways to prevent this attack is by buying an expensive router (lots of cheap routers are vulnerable to it) or by disabling WPS itself, which is the most preferrable if i would run a security check into a router, pixie dust would usually be the 1st method i would try since no matter its password security, it will give me its pin number in a matter of seconds and once someone has your pin, they will always have your password since any hacker can send the pin to the router and the router will just hand the password over to the hacker

[@Anhar001]

I was hoping you would mention swapping out the router firmware with DD-WRT or OpenWRT + not broadcasting your SSID, and finally creating a VLAN for guests. But other then that its ok advise I guess.

[@liesdamnlies3372]

Eh, not broadcasting the SSID isn't really a security measure. Anyone sniffing packets flying around will learn your network is there and just not broadcasting its ID right quick. And then they'll, of course, have the SSID. You'd only stop the dumbest of script kiddies, and even then you're going to potentially increase power usage on all your devices. Not worth it, imo.

[@Anhar001]

@@liesdamnlies3372 sure of course, however security is a "set of things" such that there are a set of "best practices", for example not having SSH on the standard port, or not using "admin" as the username as well as many other standard techniques, does any of those things mean that it's impossible to bypass? NO what it does mean is that it "harderns" your system through a set of practices. If you noticed I not only mentioned about disabling the SSID broadcast (standard practice for security hardening) but also having a segregated vLAN, there are of course a lot more techniques you could apply but it's a very good starting point. But of course whatever security hardening measure you deploy one could argue that some determined attacker can always defeat it, but of course you have to keep things into context, as the hardening increases so does the skill level which makes it less and less likely.

Great Video Brother, keep up the good work and thanks for the relevant to current scenario of cyber security videos!👍🏼 Just a few doubts and concerns I have, I hope you see and clarify the same: Okay, so say I'm going the fully wired route even for Mobiles, maybe few if unavoidable encrypted WiFi, now to mitigate ISP/Intel (yeah "GLO" folks on my Court Cases list) tracking of person's Devices MAC IDs IPs, IMEI/IMSI, Sim IDs etc on the network, 1. Should one connect another personal router/modem and bridge the Connection from ISP router disabling/turning off WiFi, DHCP, WPS, so that you're only using ISP Router 1 for source of internet(entry/exit point), but from own Router 2 only the DHCP, routing, IP Allotment, MAC Filters(Allow only listed devices/deny all else) and what not begins. 2. From Router 2 Followed onto >Network Switch/es or VPN Router/s be connected for added layers of security, so say USB port 1 is external HDD for Network File Sharing Server, Printer goes Wired to 2nd USB port in Router 3(network printer)which contains own Interface VPN! Is that safe? Other routers do I need to install OPEN-WRT DD-WRT on them if available? Does a Network Switch need OpenSource Firmware installed on it or the OG interface and firmware should be fine? (D-Link DES-1210-28P Model) 3. What are the benefits/cons(if any recurring costs) of adding a Physical Firewall device(or PfSense/OPNSense PC/low powered laptop/PiHole firewall/file&email server OS device) to this mix? 4. Will that firewall device be placed prior to the ISP router or since Optical Fibernet Connections port won't be on the Firewall Device, connected to the ISP modem/router before it goes to the network, I'm guessing the latter by logic, would highly appreciate it if you/anyone else too could please let us know your thoughts on such a setup. Let's just say for a Whistle Blower/Criminal Investigative Journalist/Reporter Level kind of Setup, what sort of a streamlined secured network setup will you implement, what OSs on Devices(PCs/laptops) ROMs for Mobiles would you suggest (could you make a video please maybe) where there will be little to NO room for chances of leaks/hacks or risks of MITM/DDoS attacks in said network setup! I'm not sure, if you'll read/answer this, but I've seen most of your videos are close/closest to the topics I'm looking for so hopefully I get to see a/some video/s on this soon! Much appreciated!

[@ikazuchi-san5772]

im not sure myself since i never messed with repeaters but if you have to use WPS on repeaters, it means your router also has to use WPS the problem is... if someone can get your routers WPS PIN... depending on your router model it can be laughable easy (i figured out i can break my home wifi using it in mere seconds) and if a hacker has the pin, even if you change passwords, the router will give him the new password, cuz he has the routers PIN code

I do a randomly generated one of 64 bit characters including symbols. On top of that, I have a separate network for visitors and iot devices that is totally blocked from having access to my main network.

[@CayoBuay]

I set my ISP modem to bridge mode, then have OPNsense as my gateway, set my routers to access point mode. My OPNsense box has 4 ports with each firewalled off from each other. The IoT/guest network is only allowed to get DNS and connect to internet but cannot do anything with other networks.

[@typingcat]

But does it make any meaningful difference to mix upper/lower/special/number, etc, when the password is sufficiently long? I mean, if I only use lower alphabets, if my password is 10-characters long, the possibility is 1/26^10. If I use all those weird things, it will be 1/(26*2+10*2)^10. The former is 7.0e-15 the latter is 2.6e-19. Isn't 7.0e-15 already too big to try with brute-force? Even if a hacker can try 10,000 per second, it still takes 10,743 years.

[@MentalOutlaw]

the thing is 10,000 per second is VERY slow in terms of pw cracking. Even in my PC which only has an i7 4790k and a gtx 970 I can do seceral million every second. Someone, or a team with a cluster of modern GPUs can do billions or even hundreds of billions.

Hi can you create a video about self-hosting?

[@RohanTej]

Everyone is universally praising the video but I believe you've missed 2 very major components. IDK maybe I am just talking out of my ass so I might be wrong, but regardless - You mentioned that you can set different passwords for 5ghz wifi and 2.4ghz wifi. It could be possible that you're router is different than the ones I've used, but both broadbands connect you to the same network. That is - devices on 5ghz network will be able to see and communicate with devices on 2.4ghz network. It not a good way of protecting the network at all. The correct way of doing it is via guest network. Every single router I've owned, even the decade old ones with just 2.4ghz antennas had this feature. How this works is that you have your private network which only has your devices on it. And you setup a guest network with its own SSID and its own separate password. In fact you can have a 5ghz and a 2.4ghz network for your private network ALONG with 5ghz and 2.4ghz for your guest networks. It obviously might depend on which router you're using but your guests won't have to be on the pleb speeds at least. Security here is achieved in 2 ways (afaik at least. 3 routers I have set up guest network on handled them differently) First one is creating an entirely different network. So your private network might be on 192.168.0.xxx and your guest network might be on 192.168.1.xxx. And your router will not let the devices on guest network talk to devices on your private network. The newer TP router I have keeps both devices on the same network but won't let them talk to any other device. This is what the router says - " - Allow Guests To Access My Local Network - If enabled, guests can communicate with hosts. - Guest Network Isolation - If enabled, one guest can not communicate with another. " Another neat thing you can do is to disallow accessing the router config/admin page to just a limited set of devices by whitelisting a MAC address. The way I have set it up is to whitelist only my computer, connected via a cable to be able to access the router admin page. People on your guest devices can't access the router admin page anyway, but this is just an additional layer of security. Of course they can spoof my MAC address but its better than nothing. Welp I don't really know a lot about this. This is everything I learnt from reading the router's help articles so I might have outdated information. But one thing I can say for certain is creating separate passwords for 5ghz and 2.4ghz network will do absolutely nothing in terms of network security.

[@3DTwinkies]

ok but why tf is the routers letting someone probe for passwords 80k times a second? Most websites, and like every phone/tablet ever, only let you guess x number of times before it locks you out for x amount of time. Why would routers not also include this basic security feature.

It actually doesn't work that way. It works by capturing the handshake for your router and than using any method to crack a hash.
