00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.960
it's no secret that the security of iot or smart devices is pretty abysmal right

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:13.840
now here's a cool site called hacked.camera from security researcher

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:16.640
paul marapis that illustrates just how

00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:21.600
weak and unprotected some devices are right out of the box every single one of

00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:28.000
those color-coded pinpoints is not just one but actually a group of smart

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:30.800
devices like cameras that on less savory

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:35.760
sites could actually be directly accessed by anyone with the know-how

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:40.559
online so that is where our sponsor for today's video bitdefender total security

00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:46.000
comes in their software suite and their hardware bitdefender box are designed to

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:50.480
protect your entire home including devices like cameras that cannot be

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:53.760
loaded with traditional antivirus software and guys make sure you stick

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:57.199
around because bitdefender is offering an extended free trial to our viewers

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

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

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

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:16.400
a look at some of the potential points of ingress for my home starting of

00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:19.520
course with this smart camera now this

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.320
is a nest cam and as smart cameras go

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:25.520
they're relatively reputable it's not a simple

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:28.560
task to just connect to someone else's nest cam

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:32.560
but the point that i'm trying to make and that this is supposed to illustrate

00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:37.200
is that anything that's accessible from the internet is a potential way for

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:41.040
someone to gain information or in the case of very insecure cameras a live

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:45.759
video feed of the inside of your house and there are plenty of cameras out

00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:48.000
there that have massive vulnerabilities

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:51.840
i mean really if you think about it anything whether it's a game console a

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:55.439
connected tv other more different game console or a

00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:00.560
pc is a potential gateway into your home

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:04.560
network so just right here i've got like five points of entry

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:10.399
out in the garage we immediately find some potentially more sketchy things so

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:12.239
in my pile of projects that i still have

00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:16.480
to do i've got my paintball mask lens that i'm trying to

00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:20.840
silicone back together so that stuff doesn't get up inside it along with

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:25.680
an ltt shirt ltdstore.com ah this is awesome my mask

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

00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:35.120
again and also a ring doorbell that i haven't installed

00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:39.040
yet but i will and this

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:41.840
this is exactly the kind of generic

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:46.879
chinese smart home stuff that can potentially be a problem and in

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:52.640
this case access to this device could mean that an intruder not only has a

00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:57.440
view into my home they could potentially walk

00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.640
right through the garage door the best part is i made a video about

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:05.920
installing it and then didn't change anything about it so it hasn't happened

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:08.800
yet but uh where's wood it's woodish

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:12.959
so funny story here the only reason i have a nest thermostat is that my wife

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:16.239
won it through like our credit card company or something like that like i'm

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:20.480
the last person in the world who needs to win a smart thermostat or whatever

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

00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:29.120
of ingress on that subject my sonos smart speakers yet another smart

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:33.519
connected device with the potential to be

00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:38.480
a security flaw next up we've got the nest smoke and

00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:41.040
carbon monoxide detector

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:44.680
then of course there's the connected hub of my home which is

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:49.599
the office where my wife and i have our computers and

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.799
the server closet where you'll find

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.439
both of our desktops that are connected via thunderbolt to the desks over there

00:03:55.040 --> 00:04:01.519
my home server which has got my plex server

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

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:12.000
my router and i think that's pretty much it

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.280
actually for connected stuff in here i don't know if my printer has any like

00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:20.400
internet printing features or anything like that but if it did the point is

00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:24.560
anything accessible from the internet is a potential security threat now let's

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:29.199
have a look at the bitdefender box which runs the latest bitdefender total

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:33.680
security software in a nutshell the box is bitdefender's hardware solution for

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:38.560
devices that cannot run their total security software like most of the

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:42.080
devices we've just gone over so the idea here is that they've got device

00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:46.160
detection and management so you can monitor your connected devices and see

00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:49.360
what is sending or receiving data vulnerability assessments you can

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:54.320
identify weaknesses in your home network as well as anomaly detection mechanisms

00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:56.320
to block compromised devices and this is

00:04:54.320 --> 00:05:00.479
something that is pretty interesting to me actually when they pitch this to us

00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:03.840
the parental features for me are one of the things that stands out because they

00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:08.240
allow you to just shut off internet access to any device

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

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:16.320
a whole bunch of stuff to do

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

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:24.479
you go that's done now unplug your isp modem from the power

00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.400
outlet what if i don't want to do it that way

00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:32.080
i have to connect to the bitdefender box wi-fi do you know what the default

00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:36.320
password is oh

00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:41.120
quick oh i shouldn't probably read that out

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:45.840
i mean i can change it but power up your isp modem plug your isp

00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:49.120
modem connect bitdefender box to the internet

00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:52.400
you are ready to secure your network all right cool

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:55.840
i have a personal wi-fi router

00:05:54.160 --> 00:06:03.280
there we go this can just go straight into here and theoretically that should work now

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:08.639
shadow you're not helping right now but you're just checking out the security

00:06:06.479 --> 00:06:11.840
making sure we're gonna keep all the internet mice out

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

00:06:15.280 --> 00:06:23.440
says there are no devices connected to the network now that doesn't seem right

00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:26.960
new device what is this that must be me

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:29.600
so it actually prompts me then to install bitdefender software on the

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

00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:38.720
network settings can be changed only while connected to the main wi-fi yeah

00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:43.759
yeah you might as well oh your wi-fi network is disabled well

00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:45.440
there's there's the issue okay

00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:49.280
there it is okay we're connecting to bitdefender box now we can go in and

00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:54.400
change settings yay okay

00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:57.520
so let's go ahead and let's jump on

00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:58.560
the ruckus wifi let's make sure that's

00:06:57.520 --> 00:07:03.680
working that's working freaking awesome

00:07:01.599 --> 00:07:08.800
then because we need to connect directly to the bitdefender box's wi-fi for the

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

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:19.280
so that it actually has to be manually re-enabled by me and then there's

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:23.680
basically no way to get into it all right my ruckus extender just got

00:07:21.440 --> 00:07:28.080
picked up good stuff settings saved successfully

00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:32.560
fantastic so we've got the kit app installed here

00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:36.960
and then we've got check this out uh 18 protected devices

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

00:07:40.080 --> 00:07:47.039
handful of drop cams my harmony hub

00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:50.479
expressive home automation linus desktop

00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:52.960
linus ws my nest thermostat everything

00:07:50.479 --> 00:07:56.960
shows up exactly as we would expect it to so we'll download bitdefender total

00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:01.759
security one of the things that they boast about in their literature

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

00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:08.240
let the computer settle down and be doing nothing and we'll have a quick

00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:12.400
look at what our cpu utilization as well as our memory utilization looks like

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

00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:22.400
five percent cpu usage right now so let's go ahead and install bitdefender

00:08:19.440 --> 00:08:26.879
oh interesting curiously actually uh family link only forces safe search on

00:08:25.520 --> 00:08:30.960
there doesn't seem to be any way to actually filter internet content so

00:08:29.440 --> 00:08:35.919
let's say i'm out somewhere or whatever the case

00:08:33.680 --> 00:08:39.279
may be and i'm like look i don't want the kids

00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:42.399
playing nintendo or whatever i mean this assumes they're playing an

00:08:40.719 --> 00:08:46.160
online game maybe that's not a great example

00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:50.000
i don't think they play any online games for the switch

00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:54.720
but this way i could know for sure really cool so you can just instantly

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

00:08:56.560 --> 00:09:02.160
installed we've got our trial active here be aware of your device's security

00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:07.200
status at a glance ransomware remediation so this is basically just a

00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:10.800
data backup snapshotting type tool so that if someone does send you ransomware

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

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

00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:22.399
much overhead we're looking at so there's definitely a memory usage cost

00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:26.000
it looks like about 500 megabytes obviously on my system that's fine but

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

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

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:37.440
how much it eats so we're getting a little bit of disk

00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:40.959
thrashing about five percent cpu usage you can also see the frequency picked up

00:09:39.040 --> 00:09:44.800
a little bit but memory usage actually not too much heavier uses around another

00:09:42.640 --> 00:09:49.519
200 megs while scanning your system files it's not bad one other cool

00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:53.200
feature is the game profile so when you turn it on bitdefender will not only

00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:57.120
hide notifications and pop-ups but it will also prioritize your game's

00:09:54.640 --> 00:10:01.920
connection now you can go game by game if you just have steam running all the

00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.600
time but some feedback for a bitdefender

00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:08.080
is that it would be nice if there was a like an automatic game exe finder

00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:11.519
functionality or something like that akin to the way that nvidia handles it

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

00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:19.360
your exes this is cool you can actually even postpone windows automatic updates

00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:23.040
through the bitdefender dashboard which of course you can do manually but it's

00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:26.560
just all in one place if you know this is for

00:10:24.079 --> 00:10:30.560
cousin jeff who's not particularly tech savvy and you just don't want to hear

00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:34.399
about it anymore couple of other cool features of the app include their web

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:38.720
protect which is like a constant scanner while you're browsing the web as well as

00:10:36.079 --> 00:10:42.399
this is cool app lock so you can protect private apps against unwanted access

00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:45.440
with applock so if you're one of those parents that

00:10:43.839 --> 00:10:50.160
shares your phone with your kids from time to time you can actually lock out

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:54.160
things like i don't know games or you know any apps you have on

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

00:10:56.560 --> 00:11:02.320
my writer for this video thought was pretty cool was the parental control you

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.399
can just go into screen time and pause the device

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:10.800
really shadow knocking stuff off the shelf there

00:11:08.560 --> 00:11:13.040
anyway uh so you can just pause the device

00:11:11.839 --> 00:11:18.560
and nothing happens apparently do we have an internet connection

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:22.240
oh so it doesn't actually just like lock the phone

00:11:19.760 --> 00:11:26.399
i just tried to launch an app and it goes

00:11:24.640 --> 00:11:30.160
you are not allowed to use this device ask your parent to change the restriction

00:11:28.640 --> 00:11:34.000
okay so basically

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:37.519
that's the bulk of the video except for something cool we've actually got a

00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:42.959
giveaway so bitdefender is giving away six months of bitdefender total security

00:11:40.160 --> 00:11:46.880
2020. it's for new users only and it's for the us and canada so that's six

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:51.920
months of the whole shebang internet security vpn wallet the whole nine yards

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:56.959
instead of their typical 30-day free trial with all that said guys let's real

00:11:54.880 --> 00:12:01.200
talk here for a moment if you're a power user you might think that you don't need

00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:04.880
protection however there are plenty of cases where bitdefender's total security

00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:10.800
software suite could be the perfect addition to your network as well as your

00:12:07.760 --> 00:12:13.040
parents friends or non-tech savvy aunt

00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:18.240
or whatever i pick on my poor aunt a lot so that you don't have to babysit them

00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:22.560
bitdefender has a pretty complete suite here with a ton of cool tools to

00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:26.639
maintain control over your home network or even a small office network so even

00:12:24.560 --> 00:12:30.800
if you never typically find yourself in the deep dark corner of the internet the

00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:34.800
