1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,960
it's no secret that the security of iot or smart devices is pretty abysmal right

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:13,840
now here's a cool site called hacked.camera from security researcher

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:16,640
paul marapis that illustrates just how

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:21,600
weak and unprotected some devices are right out of the box every single one of

5
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:28,000
those color-coded pinpoints is not just one but actually a group of smart

6
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:30,800
devices like cameras that on less savory

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:35,760
sites could actually be directly accessed by anyone with the know-how

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:40,559
online so that is where our sponsor for today's video bitdefender total security

9
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:46,000
comes in their software suite and their hardware bitdefender box are designed to

10
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:50,480
protect your entire home including devices like cameras that cannot be

11
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:53,760
loaded with traditional antivirus software and guys make sure you stick

12
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:57,199
around because bitdefender is offering an extended free trial to our viewers

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:01,760
we'll have the full details at the end of the video so why don't we take a

14
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:05,600
little tour of my house and have a look at some of the threats that i have lying

15
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:11,520
around so we'll install the bitdefender box later for now let's walk around and have

16
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:16,400
a look at some of the potential points of ingress for my home starting of

17
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:19,520
course with this smart camera now this

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,320
is a nest cam and as smart cameras go

19
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:25,520
they're relatively reputable it's not a simple

20
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:28,560
task to just connect to someone else's nest cam

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,560
but the point that i'm trying to make and that this is supposed to illustrate

22
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:37,200
is that anything that's accessible from the internet is a potential way for

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:41,040
someone to gain information or in the case of very insecure cameras a live

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:45,759
video feed of the inside of your house and there are plenty of cameras out

25
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:48,000
there that have massive vulnerabilities

26
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:51,840
i mean really if you think about it anything whether it's a game console a

27
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:55,439
connected tv other more different game console or a

28
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,560
pc is a potential gateway into your home

29
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:04,560
network so just right here i've got like five points of entry

30
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:10,399
out in the garage we immediately find some potentially more sketchy things so

31
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:12,239
in my pile of projects that i still have

32
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:16,480
to do i've got my paintball mask lens that i'm trying to

33
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:20,840
silicone back together so that stuff doesn't get up inside it along with

34
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:25,680
an ltt shirt ltdstore.com ah this is awesome my mask

35
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,480
that i put one of the waistbands of our ltt underwear on no so to make it work

36
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:35,120
again and also a ring doorbell that i haven't installed

37
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:39,040
yet but i will and this

38
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,840
this is exactly the kind of generic

39
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:46,879
chinese smart home stuff that can potentially be a problem and in

40
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:52,640
this case access to this device could mean that an intruder not only has a

41
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:57,440
view into my home they could potentially walk

42
00:02:54,879 --> 00:03:00,640
right through the garage door the best part is i made a video about

43
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,920
installing it and then didn't change anything about it so it hasn't happened

44
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,800
yet but uh where's wood it's woodish

45
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,959
so funny story here the only reason i have a nest thermostat is that my wife

46
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,239
won it through like our credit card company or something like that like i'm

47
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,480
the last person in the world who needs to win a smart thermostat or whatever

48
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:25,360
but i figured what the hey i've got it might as well install it potential point

49
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:29,120
of ingress on that subject my sonos smart speakers yet another smart

50
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,519
connected device with the potential to be

51
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:38,480
a security flaw next up we've got the nest smoke and

52
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:41,040
carbon monoxide detector

53
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:44,680
then of course there's the connected hub of my home which is

54
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:49,599
the office where my wife and i have our computers and

55
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,799
the server closet where you'll find

56
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,439
both of our desktops that are connected via thunderbolt to the desks over there

57
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:01,519
my home server which has got my plex server

58
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:06,720
any internet shares any of that kind of stuff as well as just my nas archive uh

59
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:12,000
my router and i think that's pretty much it

60
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:15,280
actually for connected stuff in here i don't know if my printer has any like

61
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:20,400
internet printing features or anything like that but if it did the point is

62
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:24,560
anything accessible from the internet is a potential security threat now let's

63
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:29,199
have a look at the bitdefender box which runs the latest bitdefender total

64
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:33,680
security software in a nutshell the box is bitdefender's hardware solution for

65
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:38,560
devices that cannot run their total security software like most of the

66
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:42,080
devices we've just gone over so the idea here is that they've got device

67
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:46,160
detection and management so you can monitor your connected devices and see

68
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,360
what is sending or receiving data vulnerability assessments you can

69
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:54,320
identify weaknesses in your home network as well as anomaly detection mechanisms

70
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:56,320
to block compromised devices and this is

71
00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:00,479
something that is pretty interesting to me actually when they pitch this to us

72
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:03,840
the parental features for me are one of the things that stands out because they

73
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:08,240
allow you to just shut off internet access to any device

74
00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:14,800
that is assigned to your child within the home so we're gonna need the bitdefender central app and then there's

75
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,320
a whole bunch of stuff to do

76
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:20,880
so the first thing i'm supposed to do is just plug this puppy into power so there

77
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,479
you go that's done now unplug your isp modem from the power

78
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,400
outlet what if i don't want to do it that way

79
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,080
i have to connect to the bitdefender box wi-fi do you know what the default

80
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,320
password is oh

81
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:41,120
quick oh i shouldn't probably read that out

82
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:45,840
i mean i can change it but power up your isp modem plug your isp

83
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:49,120
modem connect bitdefender box to the internet

84
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:52,400
you are ready to secure your network all right cool

85
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,840
i have a personal wi-fi router

86
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:03,280
there we go this can just go straight into here and theoretically that should work now

87
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:08,639
shadow you're not helping right now but you're just checking out the security

88
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:11,840
making sure we're gonna keep all the internet mice out

89
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:17,840
well you're a rotten cat okay so we're up and running now it's gonna scan for devices on the network it

90
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:23,440
says there are no devices connected to the network now that doesn't seem right

91
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,960
new device what is this that must be me

92
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,600
so it actually prompts me then to install bitdefender software on the

93
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:35,120
device oh here we go now i've got this whole dashboard that i didn't see a second ago

94
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:38,720
network settings can be changed only while connected to the main wi-fi yeah

95
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:43,759
yeah you might as well oh your wi-fi network is disabled well

96
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:45,440
there's there's the issue okay

97
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:49,280
there it is okay we're connecting to bitdefender box now we can go in and

98
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:54,400
change settings yay okay

99
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:57,520
so let's go ahead and let's jump on

100
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,560
the ruckus wifi let's make sure that's

101
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,680
working that's working freaking awesome

102
00:07:01,599 --> 00:07:08,800
then because we need to connect directly to the bitdefender box's wi-fi for the

103
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:14,800
initial update what i would love to do is jump on its wi-fi turn off its wi-fi

104
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:19,280
so that it actually has to be manually re-enabled by me and then there's

105
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:23,680
basically no way to get into it all right my ruckus extender just got

106
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:28,080
picked up good stuff settings saved successfully

107
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:32,560
fantastic so we've got the kit app installed here

108
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:36,960
and then we've got check this out uh 18 protected devices

109
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:43,520
that are on our network here so i've got my ant's iphone i've got a

110
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:47,039
handful of drop cams my harmony hub

111
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:50,479
expressive home automation linus desktop

112
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:52,960
linus ws my nest thermostat everything

113
00:07:50,479 --> 00:07:56,960
shows up exactly as we would expect it to so we'll download bitdefender total

114
00:07:54,879 --> 00:08:01,759
security one of the things that they boast about in their literature

115
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:04,720
is their very low system resources usage so what i'm going to do is i'm going to

116
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:08,240
let the computer settle down and be doing nothing and we'll have a quick

117
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:12,400
look at what our cpu utilization as well as our memory utilization looks like

118
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:17,120
okay so we're sitting at just shy of 19 gigs of memory usage and about three to

119
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:22,400
five percent cpu usage right now so let's go ahead and install bitdefender

120
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:26,879
oh interesting curiously actually uh family link only forces safe search on

121
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:30,960
there doesn't seem to be any way to actually filter internet content so

122
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:35,919
let's say i'm out somewhere or whatever the case

123
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:39,279
may be and i'm like look i don't want the kids

124
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:42,399
playing nintendo or whatever i mean this assumes they're playing an

125
00:08:40,719 --> 00:08:46,160
online game maybe that's not a great example

126
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:50,000
i don't think they play any online games for the switch

127
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:54,720
but this way i could know for sure really cool so you can just instantly

128
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,640
knock out the internet for any device on your network all right so now that it's

129
00:08:56,560 --> 00:09:02,160
installed we've got our trial active here be aware of your device's security

130
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:07,200
status at a glance ransomware remediation so this is basically just a

131
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:10,800
data backup snapshotting type tool so that if someone does send you ransomware

132
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,320
you just have a copy of the data already that is not encrypted oh that's right it

133
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:17,279
includes a vpn which is pretty cool so let's go ahead and have a look at how

134
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:22,399
much overhead we're looking at so there's definitely a memory usage cost

135
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:26,000
it looks like about 500 megabytes obviously on my system that's fine but

136
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:29,600
your mileage may vary and then in terms of cpu we're sitting at right around the

137
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:33,360
same range so that's actually pretty nice to see when we start a scan and see

138
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,440
how much it eats so we're getting a little bit of disk

139
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:40,959
thrashing about five percent cpu usage you can also see the frequency picked up

140
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:44,800
a little bit but memory usage actually not too much heavier uses around another

141
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:49,519
200 megs while scanning your system files it's not bad one other cool

142
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:53,200
feature is the game profile so when you turn it on bitdefender will not only

143
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:57,120
hide notifications and pop-ups but it will also prioritize your game's

144
00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:01,920
connection now you can go game by game if you just have steam running all the

145
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,600
time but some feedback for a bitdefender

146
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:08,080
is that it would be nice if there was a like an automatic game exe finder

147
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,519
functionality or something like that akin to the way that nvidia handles it

148
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:15,279
in geforce experience because it is a bit of a bear to go around and find all

149
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:19,360
your exes this is cool you can actually even postpone windows automatic updates

150
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:23,040
through the bitdefender dashboard which of course you can do manually but it's

151
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:26,560
just all in one place if you know this is for

152
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:30,560
cousin jeff who's not particularly tech savvy and you just don't want to hear

153
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:34,399
about it anymore couple of other cool features of the app include their web

154
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:38,720
protect which is like a constant scanner while you're browsing the web as well as

155
00:10:36,079 --> 00:10:42,399
this is cool app lock so you can protect private apps against unwanted access

156
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:45,440
with applock so if you're one of those parents that

157
00:10:43,839 --> 00:10:50,160
shares your phone with your kids from time to time you can actually lock out

158
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,160
things like i don't know games or you know any apps you have on

159
00:10:52,959 --> 00:10:58,079
your phone but don't want them to be looking at with that one last thing that

160
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:02,320
my writer for this video thought was pretty cool was the parental control you

161
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,399
can just go into screen time and pause the device

162
00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:10,800
really shadow knocking stuff off the shelf there

163
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:13,040
anyway uh so you can just pause the device

164
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:18,560
