so I am joined here by Mike sansin from
0:03
Sak you're going to show us how easy it
0:06
is to hack into a computer so this is my
0:08
personal computer so in this attack we
0:11
will pretend to be a wireless access
0:13
point that you normally connect to let's
0:15
say in a hotel so if you go in there and
0:17
you you try to log in to something
0:19
called uh Four Seasons guest okay as as
0:22
you'd expect as you know the Wi-Fi is
0:23
around you'd want to be able to connect
0:24
to it and a person who just arrived will
0:27
think I'm a guest I should connect to
0:28
the guest Network sure so now if you go
0:31
to a website that you would normally use
0:33
like y.com okay and you know normally
0:36
what happens when you go to a website
0:38
just after you've logged into a hotel
0:40
Network it says oh please log in you're
0:42
new user so here it's asking for your uh
0:45
room number and last name which it would
0:47
normally do right and actually I can see
0:49
your information show up here and so
0:52
part part of the attack is that it makes
0:54
you it tries to convince you that you
0:56
need to do an update you know your
0:58
machine is out of date and it's
1:00
vulnerable so you want to click on the
1:01
the download button because it's s of
1:03
convincing you to do this and once
1:04
you've executed that's it you're you
1:06
already have been exploited I can I can
1:08
see it here it says adus MacBook let's
1:12
say if I want to take a screenshot of
1:15
your s of uh of your webcam right okay
1:18
so I have a special command here for
1:20
essentially accessing your uh little
1:23
camera right here if I say
1:26
execute there we go I just saw a green
1:28
light pop up there
1:30
for a second for a second but now it's
1:32
already too late and I already know
1:34
what's what's going on around you oh wow
1:36
this particular attack it recorded the
1:38
picture but you can actually record the
1:40
video you can also record sound if you
1:42
wanted to that's really disturbing you
1:44
can execute things on the behalf so what
1:47
I'm going to try to do is actually open
1:49
the calculator application okay here we
1:52
go there's my calculator just pocked up
1:54
I can basically execute any types of
1:56
commands I want on your behalf so what
1:59
can people to protect themselves you
2:01
should sort of be on the lookout for
2:04
anytime you sort of do an action and
2:06
then the computer asks you to do
2:08
something on your on your behalf like
2:10
you know you downloaded something and
2:11
said hey please enter your password you
2:13
know if you didn't expect that to happen
2:15
maybe you should kind of stand back a
2:17
little bit and say well does it normally
2:19
happen when I log into a Wi-Fi access
2:21
point or if you are logging into a
2:25
network and you didn't expect to be
2:27
redirected to an update page you know
2:28
you should kind of stand back a little
2:30
bit and say actually I'm not going to
2:32
download this until I go home and I can
2:34
trust my Wi-Fi well thank you so much
2:37

2:38
opportunity to hack your machine
