WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.600
it seems like not too long ago that stealing things from the airwaves just

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:11.920
meant recording radio broadcasts of songs about Barbie girls and wanting it

00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:17.400
that way onto bootleg cassette tapes but now with details of our personal lives

00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:22.720
and billions of dollars worth of transactions constantly being beamed

00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:25.279
around over Wi-Fi securing all of this

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:31.840
stuff has become a huge priority for more than just Nick Carter well yeah

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:34.600
lius uh that's what those passwords that

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:38.079
uh clever people put in place over their wireless networks to keep unwanted

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:43.160
Intruders from accessing computers and files on the networker for if you got

00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:45.399
one of those you're safe smart guy

00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:51.120
actually you're partly right password protection on your Wi-Fi hotspot is a

00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:55.879
must these days with some places even holding the internet connection owner

00:00:53.559 --> 00:01:01.000
liable for cyber crimes committed through their unsecured access point but

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:07.200
that's also a gross over simp ification not all passwords are created equal back

00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:13.600
in the early 2000s nearly all routers shipped with a default security scheme

00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:15.200
called we or wired equivalency privacy

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:21.320
and although it was incredibly widespread thanks to us laws restricting

00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:25.000
the export of cryptographic technology and some short-sighted exploits that

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:30.360
allowed Brute Force attacks to defeat it quite easily as computing power

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:32.439
increased it was also incredibly weak if

00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:37.880
you're still using web it's better than nothing but know that it can be broken

00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:40.399
in minutes using free software so this

00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:45.880
led to the development of WPA which introduced much longer encryption keys

00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:48.399
and tkip or temporal key Integrity

00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:53.479
protocol which protected against altered or forged packets and used constantly

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:58.799
changing keys to dramatically improve the security of the web standard but it

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:03.600
was merely a temporary solution since the convenience and cost Savings of

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:09.759
being able to implement it with a firmware update on existing Hardware

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:11.640
came at a cost it reused some parts of

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:16.920
web making it highly vulnerable to breach by today's standards and not only

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:21.760
that but device intercompatibility sucks the big one which leads us to Modern

00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:26.480
wireless encryption the one you should be using unless you have some older

00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:30.120
devices that only support WPA although given that WPA 2 support has been

00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:33.720
mandatory on any device with a Wi-Fi since 2006 there's really not much

00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:39.159
excuse for not swapping out that pocket PC for an iPad or something at this

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:42.519
point but what does WPA 2 bring to the

00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:45.080
table most importantly the mandatory use

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:48.720
of the AES or Advanced encryption standard an encryption algorithm so

00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:53.560
strong that it would take a modern computer hundreds or even thousands of

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:58.519
years to break a 12 character password by brute forcing it which doesn't mean

00:02:56.440 --> 00:03:02.920
it's bulletproof though you know that one button WI

00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:07.799
setup thing WPS it's convenient for home use but turn that crank off for your

00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:10.840
business Network because someone who has previously had access to the network

00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:16.760
let's say for example a disgruntled employee Could Break Your WPA 2 Security

00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:18.640
in a couple of hours and on top of that

00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:23.799
if you're concerned about your personal data being stolen security comes with

00:03:21.799 --> 00:03:27.959
you not just when you're setting up your access point because even the strongest

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:32.439
encryption in the world between you and an access point can't protect prot you

00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:37.040
if that access point is being operated by someone who wants to get into your

00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:41.840
base and kill your dudes or at least steal your banking information beware of

00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:46.560
public Wi-Fi networks and ensure that whatever you're connecting to belongs to

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:52.319
an individual or a business that you trust speaking of trust and being

00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:54.400
connected on the go fresh books it's

00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:58.439
designed for freelance workers or small businesses it's an online tool that's

00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:03.519
why I said connected and on the go and it makes invoicing getting paid and

00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:08.159
tracking expenses easier so you just go into it on your mobile device and you're

00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:13.680
like yeah I worked these hours I expens the things blippity bloppy send an email

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:17.519
with an invoice to your customer and get this you can tell when they've read it

00:04:15.799 --> 00:04:22.759
and then they can pay you by credit card so that you are spending your time doing

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:27.280
your business instead of playing around with numbers which let's face it are you

00:04:24.919 --> 00:04:30.919
that great with numbers anyway I didn't think so I'm sure not so if you're your

00:04:29.320 --> 00:04:36.240
own boss you should be using stuff that makes you feel like a boss and freshbooks is the easy way to do all

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.800
your online billing so you have more time to do the work you actually want to

00:04:37.880 --> 00:04:45.680
be doing head over to freshbooks.com tequi and enter Techquickie and how did

channel super Le fun where we actually

00:05:01.919 --> 00:05:08.520
shock each other for no reason actually there's a reason it's for being too slow

00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:12.800
I mean what kind of chump is too slow to press the button they should get zapped
