Real World Hacking with OTW (Privacy and Cybersecurity IoT warning)

[@davidbombal]

Should you be using IoT devices? Think carefully ... there is a new Botnet out there targeting IoT devices.

[@precioslouzado8651]

Awesome David am a big follower as information is power and I am doing all the things without certifitions

[@lumikarhu]

Botnets were always targeting IoTs, but without watching - because not gonna lie, im not a fan of this particular guest - the answer is super easy. If you don't know how to harden your devices yourself and only rely on out of the box security - then don't use them. I use two IoT devices but they are kind of airgapped, on a separate network with no internet access plus i've manually checked their internals just for fun too. And these are super simple devices so there is no way to compromise them really.

[@MrNetworkG]

If you afraid to be hacked, don't buy IoT devices, don't use internet and throw away your computers and then might be you will be safe from hackers!

[@beautifullybrilliant7542]

7:11 First of all, I'd like to thank Occupy the Web. For doing and being well-being part of. The group of. 8 engineers/ hackers Who work together. In concert. To. DDoS. Russia's. IoT. Or as I will call it. Internet of tyranny. Via Putin. Thank you for that. Pardon the horrible grammar. You can think this wretched. IPhone Keyboard. Provided oddly by Bing. It's just out-of-the-box. Don't judge.

[@beautifullybrilliant7542]

7:11 as well, oddly enough I'd like to share this little story. My mother works in well she did work. She's retired now in the government of Canada I cannot say building. In fact it was she was management board secretary for the government of Canada sounds boring I assure you it is not. They didn't even have signs on their building. It just looked like some random office building in a major Canadian city one of the two biggest Canadian cities. And she had no higher level, but not low level. There's a thing called mid-level security clearance. like government clearance and where they worked on Y2K she met my stepfather there in the 80s anyway she's working there from 1979 till 2008. from the very instance we first saw the very initial early adopters of these Internet things devices like even just dumb early versions of Google Alexa send lightbulbs sent, especially locks like your locks to your house. Oh, she didn't like that video cameras she said this is gonna be a massive problem. People are going to burgled there is if God for bid there's some, yeah for lack of better people think Ted Bundy version of Ted Bundy say he went to IT school instead of law school and be real problems. You don't even have to pick the lock anymore. I didn't really take it so seriously until the last couple years when I learned Linux but she's right now saying that it's only 10, Megabytes. Of Linux and inside these things, that's scary. So thank you and I'm actually going to forward this to her period. She taught me this and you should teach your audience this. Old techies will always tell you this, and they will always agree on one thing, and that's hard to find in the tech world. They always disagree, but they'll always agree on one thing Buy 7:11 the tech you need and no more.Especially if you don't understand how it works. Do not. Just buy all these things that look cool, sound cool, or enticing. There's a reason why they're making them sound cool and enticing. And if you don't even understand how they work, then you don't even understand how you could be putting yourself at risk. And you may be, You may not be, but you have. I don't know, because if you don't know how it works, how could you. And there's a reason why Old. Techies. Only seem to buy what they need. And skip all the extras.

OTW does have a great voice

[@kfluhx]

I was studying web development, UX design, and project management with just a tiny bit of dabbing in front end coding UNTIL I got nervous that a repo of mine was hacked. I follow channels like yours now even though I don't understand most of it, because the higher level concepts help me understand what kinds of things I should be careful about. Unfortunately, the hacking scare has scared me a bit too much and I've stopped pursuing my goals for now. Hoping to restart again down the road with a more thoughtful strategy and better planning. You videos are certainly helping non-programmers like me start to understand the problems.

They can shut down your vehicle if the signal is received. If you block the antenna with tin foil or cut or disconnect the Onstar antenna, then they can't do anything. Just like being in the basement of a parking garage or driving through a tunnel in a mountain, your car will still function fine.😊

[@redacted629]

So creating an inner network, not connected to the Internet or can access it, could circumvent these IoTs and once again make the user smart and not the tools.

[@aussiegruber86]

I use physical locks. Lock picking lawyer: click on three, nothing on four…..click, ok let’s do that again to make sure it wasn’t a fluke

[@seaner992]

I guess I'm ripping OnStar out of my trucks today.

[@xleage]

I hope you didn't throw it away

[@xleage]

If you keep it ask online if someone wants it for debugging, or ask in your circles if someone can extract the source code and modify it to be safer

[@lukereiner]

Good luck…

[@nicktheflash1]

Are you sure? ONSTAR can help you in life threatening situations such as a vehicle accident. It detects air bag activation and will attempt to contact your vehicle and send emergency help if needed. Also detects your location should you crash down a mountain side off the main roads rescuers can find your location to save your life. These emergency life threatening detection services are free and do not require a paid subscription for emergency ONSTAR services. If your vehicle is stolen ONSTAR with POLICE AUTHORIZATION can send a slow shutdown code to stop and shutdown your vehicle in a safe manner and locate your vehicle for recovery.

[@sponge12313]

Thats not possible dude lol its so intagrated into the cars that you will most deffanlity destroy something yoy really dont want to

I considered the possibility my IOT might have been hacked a few weeks back. A lamp was turning on every night. The logs eventually shed some "light" on the issue. 😆

[@isojama1]

Thank you David for this excellent video with OTW! Looking forward for more :)

[@xleage]

Its because theyre using left over parts to build them, while performing market research. The main issue would be the cost to implement the upgrades needed not that most of the market players cant afford it, its also their implementation of big corp sdlc. And they're backdoors left for future policing

Not sure about in the UK, but smart electric meters with service disconnect switches are pretty widespread. The utility I work for has +500,000 residential electric meters - all of them with a switch that can be turned on/off OTA. Ours currently operate off a mesh network at 800-900MHz and have Zigby. It’s an extremely impressive mesh network with meters talking to each other and HQ. We’re probably going to change to cell network in the next couple of years.

On my new oven, it can connect to my WiFi, but it has a built in timer where it disconnects after a time. You have to push the button on the stove display to have it connect. So, if you were going out and wanted to control it for a time you could but it doesn't just stay on indefinitely. This was probably implemented as a way to mitigate these kinds of threats.

I’m not a hacker by no means at all. However, I do have my A+ and Network+ certifications (working on security+ and Linux certs.). Accomplishing that gave me an understanding of basic to lower level intermediate defensive/offensive I.T. awareness. I WOULD NEVER, EVER ALLOW ANY FORM of smart device in my home (except for a phone, the HDTV, and my laptop obviously). Absolutely no smart fridge, no smart home appliances or lamps, Alexa, etc. Even to this day, I still put tape over the webcam on my laptop! Lol.. Those devices are just too much of a security risk!!

[@zaccampa4055]

It’s always a good video with OTW!

[@UnixDaemonKiller]

Do the majority of these devices sit behind UPnP firewalls, or firewall/routers that just don't block inbound connections? Or is it shoddy port forwarding/dmz devices?

[@dieselstruck]

Some Companies that have work from home employees advice not discussing business while a smart device like Alexa is present. If a huge company is worried enough to advise such thing one as an individual should also be weary.

[@BrunoGarciaNokia]

I have a few Sonoff devices to control only lights in my home and my router has an option to IoT network where they are isolated from my other home devices. Do you think that even this is not enough to keep my data secure?

I actually had my own BBS via dial-up as my parents got fed up with trying to fight with me over the phone line. Side Daisy chained together four of those big commodore floppy drives, and I did the weather actually for one that was written in Fortran by student at the University because when I was twelve or thirteen or something around fourteen I did an internship at the National weather Service and went back again in high school for another internship with NOAA at the weather service at the airport.

Divorce, a heart attack, and my father's death are not included in my list if traumatic events (plural) so imagine the severity. I'm working on it. It takes time. I do have an IQ in the top 2% but PTSD hits your EQ hard and I am working on it. I am applying with the support or all my docs for MDMA as an adjunctive to therapy to speed things up. I had a long delay between the first and last and treatment. Again you wouldn't believe it. But my docs do because they were told by a third party and that's all that matters.

They used a BIOS resident virus which disabled the thermal protection controls and overclocked everything. It ran with no RAM or a drive as my son watched. It literally nuked my favorite and best laptop. I remember when they breached it. I was told to upgrade to Windows 10 and I had University level VPN and corporate level endpoint. It had me disable it to upgrade and then I started getting flags in my browser about insecure connections. They came in via WiFi. This was several years after the full year. I had three IT guys on it in my office. In retrospect I should have gone to a typewriter, fax, or FedEx. They even overclocked a Nokia Qwerty keyboard phone, a nice one my favorite for the time n91 if I remember. It would get hot and if you put it near PC speakers it would make them scream. Yeah. They would jump to neighbors Routers and back every time we had them out this was with a top end Cisco Security Appliance for the time it was top end. I would jump around anti-virus and only one put up a decent fight st the time. I installed and password protected it and it stalled them. But they had mock ups of Norton, MacFee all the major Anti-virus were totally ineffective. Like a hot knife through butter. But they clearly were not wanting this to be let lose in the US. They didn't want anyone to get a piece of the code there. It wasn't the US. It was someone else. I had an apple mini - I updated to Catalina and when I was done, it asked me if I wanted to exit Orical. I didn't think fast enough and they had put the update inside Virtuel Box. My childrene Photos, hell my papers from my Philosophy degree were in that account and I never got it back. I had had that Apple ID my whole adult life. No more. They took from me more then just data but I never gave up and as a joke I assume. They gave me a invite to Defcon but I was in Asia and didn't think it wise to be at a place and time chosen by a bad actror. It stopped for a long time as I kind of dropped off the grid and taught diving. I was in a place with dial up speed to this day I think....at one hotel I would have coffee at I did go into the route and give myself QoS priority :-) bad but that was not in a Western or better it was a "country in transition". I only used it in the morning for email and my coffee. Default password:-) ha ... I did end up fixing it for them and giving them the new password as I knew the owner. So, ever seen "assisted access" used on a apple and sounds outside of the human range converted into braille. I guess you could use morse code but I think I there was either less or no security on that feature. I turned on the screen flash option and the scrolling window for the command line and there was my hacker. The screen would flash and ..... but braille. I bought a MacBook and inside of an hour it was compromised. I took it back to the Apple shop and they gave me a new one. I went back to my hotel as I was on my way back to the US for Christmas and I had shut it down halfway through the their take over. I also tried to contact apple security live and they did see it. When I was back in the US I took the mashine into apple and said it is hacked, they scanned the serial number and said in front of my mother "we know" we isolated your computer from the apple network at the time they had seen it. They took it and I asked if they would please do a full Bios wipe, they said they don't do that normally and I asked please...they didn't. I asked my sister's husband who knows nothing about computers what to do. He said toss it and it was the most gratifying day of my life. I have never gone back to Apple but learned Linux instead.

I have seen stuff that didn't exist before and only now are people aware of it. I knew about the Screen on and long before apples had virus...I have s screenshot somewhere showing a very different story. But since all of this was so cutting edge people though of me crazy. Now we know about all of it but the apple signed vbox with Catalina was a new one to me. I think is still. It was likely a dev cert or a stolen one. The hotel I was in had 100x more access points than they needed and the IPS had a bad reputation. I looked. I asked the chain of they had customer side security or a firewall, anything- no. I opened the computer in the entry way for customers and it had not cleared as normal and the person before me had Visual Studio running.. who would be running that in a hotel sitting space in front of the desk? It was all wrong. But, I have so many war stories. It was a long year. It was a long second go several years later. The same MO of the actor. You fight someone and you can see their particular style and methods even if time changes. I found a repo on a server using IP reverse in my logs. I found screen templates for every OS and every major anti virus. They were using a VM on top. You would never have noticed the switch. Also a html code which played the Norton Update sequence....clearly it was not updating... I can't believe I found that cashe of tools just by following my logs and I think I was learning Wireshark at that time. I learned so much being a target you can't get that from a book. Also run your external storage on let's say a Linux based anti-virus and boom. Also, look at old drives ....zero day's no longer zero but since sold and used and identified. I wonder whst I'll find on a synergy NAS I took offline a year ago. Good way to check if I'm still being watched. I really should check my phone for Pegasus I suppose.

Hi, I think the point why BMW is charging for the heating of the seats is, that a) they want to reduce their production cost (only one seat model providing all the feature is cheaper, than developing different models, produce them, logistics etc.) and b) they want to get more and more into a service oriented business model.

What cloud providers do the hackers mostly use? ...are they offshore or well-known ones?

[@demotedc0der]

Also, how do they take care of RDPs/VPS to last long and get as many "victims" for their RAT or botnet as possible... would be awesome if you discuss these things in the next series,, much love for u guys
