Marjorie Furay: Let's start with Anish, Are you ready?
Anish Patel: Yes, I am.
Marjorie Furay: All right.
Marjorie Furay: You had share the screen and you should be good to go.
Anish Patel: Thank you.
Anish Patel: So first of all, how how are you doing everyone?
Marjorie Furay: Good.
Rikki Boodram: Good.
Anish Patel: While I get it set up, just give me a second.
Anish Patel: Good, good.
Anish Patel: OK, so can everyone see my screen here?
Marjorie Furay: Yes.
Alec Kramer: Yes.
Rikki Boodram: Yep.
Anish Patel: That would be perfect.
Anish Patel: So I'm just gonna.
Sue Poole: Thank you.
Anish Patel: Thank you.
Anish Patel: So, uh, I'm just gonna start it now.
Anish Patel: So hello everyone.
Anish Patel: My name is anisha.
Anish Patel: Tell I am a software that insurance I started last week, so this is my second week and I I knew about, you know like that we had to do one of these presentation or want to like whatever you know like that we needed to do first thing that I wanted to do is you don't tie management because that is must for me.
Anish Patel: You will know why and I will.
Anish Patel: I will.
Anish Patel: I will walk you through it.
Anish Patel: The you know it's it's my the the way I manage time.
Anish Patel: You know, I I I'm hoping that I can help someone in the end.
Anish Patel: OK, so first of all, what is time management?
Anish Patel: So how many times in a day you wonder that, you know, like I had?
Anish Patel: I wish I had a more time.
Anish Patel: Anyone here ever feel that 24 hours a day is not enough?
Anish Patel: Sometimes anyone you guys can just like raise your hand or just put it in the chat. Anything.
Anish Patel: It's nice.
Anish Patel: I see.
Anish Patel: Yep, Yep.
Anish Patel: I see everyone replying.
Anish Patel: Thank you for your input guys.
Anish Patel: OK so.
Anish Patel: OK, so today I'm going to walk you through my day and life as a full time student with full time job which is full time student is you know like I I just study full time job 40 hours a week and in the end I'm expecting that I can help someone in this group with the strategies that I use to complete my tasks and most importantly learning the skills because it it doesn't end when you complete the task.
Anish Patel: You also need to learn skills.
Anish Patel: I also expect to learn some strategies from from you know from this group because someone might have more responsibility in the decision to, you know, like full full time study and full time job.
Anish Patel: Then you know like they can that I can learn.
Anish Patel: So I will have in the end last two to three minutes to for that discussion as well with you with the whole group, but now in next 10 to 13 minutes all like you walk you through.
Anish Patel: My next 10 weeks, because my next 10 weeks are hacked it again.
Anish Patel: I'm student for those who whose days are, you know, like, more hectic than me and mediator.
Anish Patel: Basically, for those who need some strategies on how to manage their time.
Anish Patel: OK, so before I jump into strategies, it is must that I tell you guys about my responsibilities for next 10 weeks.
Anish Patel: So I'm total of 23 modules.
Anish Patel: Again, I am in Excel track so we work in soda.
Anish Patel: The environment is, you know, we need to complete modules.
Anish Patel: One class has six modules, so I'm about like 4 classes away in order to, you know, like to get my graduation.
Anish Patel: Ohh which is at this point my main goal next is my parents.
Anish Patel: It's exciting.
Anish Patel: My parents, they bought a house and they are closing next week.
Anish Patel: So next Wednesday they are closing the house, so they will require my help a lot.
Anish Patel: Like physically, like moving.
Anish Patel: And I'm also taking care of their paperwork.
Anish Patel: So loans or other stuff, you know, like the utilities I need to take care of.
Anish Patel: So it also requires, you know, like other critical thinking because my mind is my mind will be all already invested in that as well and the other responsibilities are full time job.
Anish Patel: Of course I know my family.
Anish Patel: So full time family member and again mental health.
Anish Patel: That's important.
Anish Patel: So these are my responsibility for the next 10 weeks.
Anish Patel: Let me move forward.
Anish Patel: OK, so now let me just talk a little bit more about my responsibility in depth because in the in the earlier side, it might sound at you know like it's it's like 4 lines.
Anish Patel: But let me just go more into deep like more deep here.
Anish Patel: So for me to complete work to work with related to the academic side, any total I need to do total 23 modules or forecasts along with the internship, the planner that I have created states my graduation is in this term.
Anish Patel: So if I look at the basic requirements for the internship, then I need to spend minimum of 10 hours 10 hours every week for this internship for this internship, vent the 40 hours shop.
Anish Patel: Then I also need to.
Anish Patel: Then I also need to, you know, like invest some time in order for me to complete those 23 modules, which is basically 23 individual products for the internship.
Anish Patel: I noticed one thing, and that's one week.
Anish Patel: I don't wanna scare anyone, but this is just what I noticed that 10 hours are the minimum requirements.
Anish Patel: But with the meetings paired projects and to recommend a task for the to me, I think that if I need to learn and if I need to really get something out of this internship, I will need, you know, like 15 to 20 hours a week just for the church.
Anish Patel: And that's what my.
Anish Patel: That's what I think I could be wrong, but I just, you know, like I saw the planners, I just think that if I need to, you know, like get more out of this internship 15 to 20 hours a week for the internship that you know like that will get me in the better position after 10 weeks.
Anish Patel: So let me give you one example.
Anish Patel: So for this week, so this current week I have two task and apparent paired programming project that I need to do.
Anish Patel: That's for only like, you know, like this week, one of the task is 9 hours long.
Anish Patel: So I had to learn one language I think.
Anish Patel: Ohh yeah the I'm learning JavaScript in depth so that whole task is kind of like 9 hours long and then oh the second task is I'm learning HTML and CSS which is again it's four hours.
Anish Patel: So that's my, you know, like 13 hours right there.
Anish Patel: Then I also have to do pair programming which might take 2 hours and lastly all the mandatory meetings so that that's how I, you know, counted my 15 to 20 hours a week for internship, then other responsibility in that.
Anish Patel: I know that no one wants to hear, you know, like what's going on, man.
Anish Patel: In my personal life.
Anish Patel: But again, uh, it helps me plan my day because next 10 weeks or hectic, like I said, so again, I'm gonna go quickly on the slide since my parents are closing on the House next week.
Anish Patel: I will need to be, you know, like their main person, because they will need help with closing and moving as well.
Anish Patel: To me, physical activity is fun activities, so helping them move will also help me move during this time because I have long and long hours, you know, like worth of working settings.
Anish Patel: So because internship internship.
Anish Patel: I'm.
Anish Patel: I'm gonna be sitting all the time.
Anish Patel: Uh, my job.
Anish Patel: Luckily, I had that work from home, so I'm gonna again.
Anish Patel: I'm gonna be still sitting.
Anish Patel: So, you know like moving will be fun for me.
Anish Patel: Then mental aspect is to know the market and learn about the loans and the aspect of saving money while buying stuff for the new home.
Anish Patel: This will require research and some additional time to learn about the strategies and tactics to save some time with money.
Anish Patel: So, you know, like, mentally, physically I will be a little bit hectic for next two weeks just because of the house, but after that it will be just you know like modules and internship.
Anish Patel: Why not?
Anish Patel: Of course, the job.
Anish Patel: Uh.
Anish Patel: Full time job, more responsibility, full time.
Anish Patel: Job full time, family member and sometime for mental health full time job.
Anish Patel: I have a full time job that requires me to work 40 hours a week.
Anish Patel: Luckily again, I will work from home jobs, so that saves me in commute time.
Anish Patel: Families listed in the other other responsibility here is, but it always comes first to me and I believe it.
Anish Patel: It always comes, you know, like first to anyone in this group.
Anish Patel: Uh and the lastly begin with family and having a healthy lifestyle.
Anish Patel: That's my definition of good mental health.
Anish Patel: I like.
Anish Patel: I like cooking and I like being with family, so I'm gonna find time to do, you know, like both.
Anish Patel: So now now time management strategies.
Anish Patel: So this is my planner for, you know, like every single day, every single week.
Anish Patel: Again, this is my planner.
Anish Patel: Don't be fool with this.
Anish Patel: I'm not.
Anish Patel: I'm not here to say that I'm following this every single day, but I I will give you an example in the end.
Anish Patel: So let me still go through here.
Anish Patel: So now that I have given details about my goals or for the next 10 weeks, I will now show how I'm going to plan my days and weeks to achieve the end goal.
Anish Patel: So firstly I have a job that starts at 7:00 AM Eastern Time to until 3:30 eastern Monday to Friday.
Anish Patel: Right, you know, like regular job hours.
Anish Patel: Since I do not have to commute, I use commute time to get fresh enough and set up my workstation because I have like total two laptops for work and then you know like third laptop if I need to do anything else.
Anish Patel: Like 3 laptops so I do need to set up my workstation every single day.
Anish Patel: Then I start my work.
Anish Patel: Since our client has limited number of employees, we do not get too much work right away, so that's good time for me.
Anish Patel: Although I use downtime to complete my follow ups for the current day.
Anish Patel: So for the same day I use downtime to complete my follow ups for the work.
Anish Patel: After 3:30 I take a power nap.
Anish Patel: This power nap helps me too much like 10 to 15 and I really felt so super good that after 10 after that 10 to 15 minutes, then I work on the modules and the internship until 11:30 PM Eastern.
Anish Patel: Only time during this time, only time I get up is to have dinner and short.
Anish Patel: You know, like bathroom breaks.
Anish Patel: So that's that's that.
Anish Patel: And then on Saturday, Sundays are my best friends because I get hold 48 hours to do only two things.
Anish Patel: Work on internship in my mental health, so that's how you know.
Anish Patel: Like, that's my week.
Anish Patel: Kinda like thing and then so these are my main goals.
Anish Patel: I still have some other goals that you know, like I I find time to and I'll show you when.
Anish Patel: So now that my main goal is set, the time I look at the loan and you know like how's related documents during the downtime at work, it is not ethical.
Anish Patel: But to be honest, in my 8 hour shift I get four and a four or five hours of downtime every single day.
Anish Patel: At that time, if I'm just sitting and just looking at the screen of my work cloud work screen, it's going to drive me crazy.
Anish Patel: So at like in my down down time at work, I look at the documents that I need to review.
Anish Patel: Next is the family and the mental health for family I consume.
Anish Patel: I constantly, you know, like have talk with them whenever they need me or I need them.
Anish Patel: So I live with my parents when they come in.
Anish Patel: From where it now like 6:00 o'clock eastern.
Anish Patel: Uh, I I sit with them while I do, you know, like other projects or like other modules.
Anish Patel: So just sitting with them makes you know, like it's good.
Anish Patel: We like it it it works that way.
Anish Patel: Then I like working out again.
Anish Patel: I said working out and you know, like healthy lifestyle basically.
Anish Patel: So I go workout on Saturdays and Sundays before the internship.
Anish Patel: I used to go five days a week, but since I need to now, you know, like complete my studies that show my goals.
Anish Patel: I also need to, you know, like do some sacrifice.
Anish Patel: And again, in that sacrifice, I need to find the peace.
Anish Patel: That's important.
Anish Patel: Finding peace is important every time.
Anish Patel: So and Saturdays, Saturdays and Sundays, I also do some cooking.
Anish Patel: So All in all, 24 hours to me at this point seems like last time I need like 30 hours a day to be honest, and I, to be honest, I first there were more, more hours in the day.
Anish Patel: So I can, you know, like be more productive.
Anish Patel: I'm enjoying it, so it's fun for me right now.
Anish Patel: And lastly, ah, I said.
Anish Patel: Uh, I said earlier that we'll spend next two to three minutes to interact with the group, and so if anyone has any questions or you know, like if anyone wants help, Bob want to ask any question, so feel free to go ahead and ask.
Anish Patel: And that was my last slide.
Anish Patel: So next two to three minutes I have assigned for that.
Anish Patel: You can write it down.
Anish Patel: You can post it anyway.
Anish Patel: Thank you, Mary.
Anish Patel: Thank you, Marjorie.
Anish Patel: Thank you, Anthony.
Marjorie Furay: Yeah, great job.
Anish Patel: Thank you.
Marjorie Furay: Helps me realize if I'm to write it out and everything that I do in a week.
Anish Patel: Thanks, Bradley.
Marjorie Furay: I I don't know what I'll do.
Anish Patel: No it.
Marjorie Furay: I might.
Marjorie Furay: I might cry and realize I have no time to my life, but that's OK.
Anish Patel: Yeah, that.
Marjorie Furay: I I chose it.
Anish Patel: No, I mean if it it it helps me you know like if I I miss IT.
Anish Patel: Ohh yeah, I was gonna share one example that I am not.
Anish Patel: You know, like that perfect, that President said.
Anish Patel: OK, so yesterday so like I mentioned that my parents are gonna get a house next.
Anish Patel: Spencer right.
Anish Patel: So now you know like as soon the closing is coming here, right.
Anish Patel: So now we get, you know, like all the loan documents and everything today.
Anish Patel: I was so swamped that I, after my work, I couldn't focus on you like studying or anything.
Anish Patel: So after my work until until like literally 15 minutes ago, I did not even clock in because I was.
Marjorie Furay: Yeah.
Anish Patel: So, you know, like mentally somewhere else that I couldn't, you know, like, complete it.
Anish Patel: It it happens and I know that it's gonna happen, but I also have backups.
Anish Patel: So right now, that's why I plan my internship hours right now for every week is 22 or 23 hours because I know that one or two days.
Anish Patel: Yeah, I'm gonna miss.
Anish Patel: And but still I'm gonna make it, you know, like 15 to 17 hours.
Marjorie Furay: Right.
Anish Patel: That's where my that that's my goal.
Marjorie Furay: Yeah.
Anish Patel: Not, you know, like not that internship requires that, but that just my goal, you know, so it's better to know.
Anish Patel: Uh.
Marjorie Furay: Sounds good.
Anish Patel: In the beginning it just makes it fun.
Marjorie Furay: Sounds good.
Marjorie Furay: Absolutely.
Anish Patel: Yep. Yep.
Marjorie Furay: It's excellent.
Anish Patel: Thank.
Marjorie Furay: Very cool.
Anish Patel: Thank you.
Anish Patel: Yep, and does anyone have any other questions before I stop sharing my screen?
Michael Foy Armstead: What do you do for work?
Anish Patel: Oh yes, so I am a level 2 service desk analyst and our client is a pharmaceutical company.
Marjorie Furay: Awesome.
Michael Foy Armstead: Pizza it's.
Anish Patel: Yep, and does anyone else have any other question?
Marjorie Furay: Any other questions?
Anish Patel: Hi, Alec.
Marjorie Furay: Right.
Alec Kramer: Uh hey, Anish.
Anish Patel: Hello.
Alec Kramer: So when you're, of course you when you're doing your schedule, do you have to like make adjustments or something?
Alec Kramer: So do you make room for that?
Alec Kramer: Like let's say like like there's some days off to go pick up my sister from school or other days where I'll have to like next or for Sunday for example is Father's Day.
Alec Kramer: Is there ways you can organize your schedule to make adjustments for that?
Alec Kramer: Or I don't know if you make time for that or.
Anish Patel: Yes, I do.
Anish Patel: I do.
Anish Patel: OK, so I was just telling Marjorie.
Anish Patel: So so this is what I I plan and I mentally OK so internship for me.
Anish Patel: I know that internships only gonna take 15 hours, but before planning I just put like 25 hours into internship.
Anish Patel: So, you know, like if I miss a day, I'm gonna miss it.
Anish Patel: It's not it.
Anish Patel: I'm gonna miss.
Anish Patel: I know I'm gonna miss every single week.
Anish Patel: I'm gonna.
Anish Patel: I'm not gonna be, you know, like on schedule.
Anish Patel: Every single week, or even every single day, I'm gonna miss that 1520 minutes somewhere or anything.
Anish Patel: I know that I know myself.
Anish Patel: So you know, I just assign extra hours in internship.
Alec Kramer: OK.
Anish Patel: So this week I have assigned 25 hours worth of, you know, like that 25 hours in a week.
Anish Patel: I'm gonna spend an internship.
Anish Patel: I know that's not gonna happen.
Anish Patel: I'm yeah, but still, if I make it 15, that's plus plus for me because I will still complete my two task.
Anish Patel: I will be done with pair programming and you know, like the mandatory meetings.
Anish Patel: I know those 15 to 17 hours if more than 15 to 17 hours, it's gonna, you know, like it's plus plus for me.
Anish Patel: But even if I make 15 to 17, so I'm I'm I will be satisfied because I know that I only need 15 to 17 in order to, you know, like learn in a better world and even a very, you know, like everything is good 25 is you know if I can do 25 that's better.
Anish Patel: So it's just, you know, like understanding and sometimes taking a, you know like you will lose that.
Anish Patel: That's what I I wanna tell myself that you will lose.
Anish Patel: You will lose every single day, but you still, you know, like you still keep doing it.
Alec Kramer: Right, that's a good idea.
Anish Patel: Yep.
Alec Kramer: I think I need to figure how to make more time to.
Alec Kramer: Budget myself on this.
Anish Patel: IN Yep, I and again like I right now I'm only student and you know like a full time working.
Anish Patel: I do not have any responsibility like real responsibility, like I'm not a parent or, you know, like anything.
Anish Patel: When that comes in, I don't, to be honest, I don't know what to do.
Anish Patel: So whoever has, you know, like kids or, you know, like, more responsibilities salute.
Alec Kramer: Hi, alright.
Alec Kramer: Umm, alright thanks Ben.
Marjorie Furay: Now you do know you only need 10 hours a week for the the internship right for this side.
Anish Patel: Yes, yes, yes, that is correct.
Anish Patel: But I mean, I'm just.
Anish Patel: I just saw the planner and everything.
Anish Patel: I just you know.
Anish Patel: Ohh I I love the concept to be honest.
Anish Patel: I I I love the concept and whatever I haven't learned in last two years or 2 1/2 years, I'm gonna learn in next 10 to 20 weeks because I had time to come back as well.
Anish Patel: But I'm gonna learn a lot.
Marjorie Furay: Yeah.
Anish Patel: Like a lot and a lot in this internship, I know I saw the planners.
Anish Patel: It's exciting.
Anish Patel: I would learn a lot, to be honest.
Marjorie Furay: Right.
Anish Patel: So Yep, so more hours more.
Marjorie Furay: That's great.
Anish Patel: You know, like it's more Yep.
Marjorie Furay: Many.
Anish Patel: It so I am going to stop sharing my screen and uh once again thank you so much for investing your time today.
Anish Patel: I hope you guys have a good rest of your evening.
Anish Patel: Thank you.
Marjorie Furay: You too.
Marjorie Furay: Thank you so much.
Anish Patel: OK.
Marjorie Furay: OK, well, that was excellent.
Marjorie Furay: So next we have Christian, Are you ready?
Kristian Boag: Yes, I am ready.
Marjorie Furay: Me. Awesome.
Kristian Boag: Let me go ahead and get this presentation set up here and.
Kristian Boag: Let's see.
Kristian Boag: OK, cool.
Kristian Boag: And then, uh, everyone to the slides here.
Marjorie Furay: Yes.
Kristian Boag: OK, cool.
Kristian Boag: Uh, so my name is Christian.
Kristian Boag: I'm one of the new interns as well.
Kristian Boag: I just started last week with Anesh.
Kristian Boag: I'm just kind of one of those people that want to get this type stuff out of the way so I can get not have to stress about it later on, but after talking with Sharleen, I had an idea of what I wanted to do.
Kristian Boag: And so today, I'm just gonna be discussing with you guys evil twin attacks.
Kristian Boag: And then also giving kind of a real world demonstration on how they work.
Kristian Boag: Uh, in an ethical manner?
Kristian Boag: Of course, I'm not gonna, you know, do anything bad.
Kristian Boag: So we'll go ahead and just get started here.
Kristian Boag: So start with what our evil twin attacks will start with.
Kristian Boag: A are basically a fake wireless access point.
Kristian Boag: So basically you would be looking at your phone and it would appear to be a normal Wi-Fi connection, perhaps normally an open Wi-Fi connection that anybody could connect to, and so of course this would take advantage more of public Wi-Fi spots like coffee shops, libraries, and anywhere that you can pretty much just connect for free.
Kristian Boag: And so the way these kind of work is that the person will go ahead and set up a fake wireless access point like we were discussing just a fake Wi-Fi and it will generally be a exact copy of a local open.
Kristian Boag: Uh Wi-Fi source.
Kristian Boag: So with our coffee shop example, you might see Starbucks and then you'll see an additional Wi-Fi named Starbucks as well.
Kristian Boag: And so this confuses the victim, of course.
Kristian Boag: And they might just connect to the wrong one on accident.
Kristian Boag: Or their computer might, or their devices, rather because it could be any Internet device might connect to that signal because it's stronger.
Kristian Boag: So of course there's there's ways for the person on the attacker to increase their signal strength, even over the normal Wi-Fi signal, which results in their signal over taking everybody else's, and that all of their traffic going to that.
Kristian Boag: And so from there, they'll go ahead and perform what's called a man in middle attack.
Kristian Boag: And so they'll even go ahead and just redirect all of your Internet traffic through their fake Wi-Fi to the real Wi-Fi network.
Kristian Boag: So for the person on the other end, it might just look like a normal Wi-Fi connection.
Kristian Boag: Nothing appears different to them.
Kristian Boag: However, for the hacker, they're able to see every single thing that you're doing on that network.
Kristian Boag: Granted, with encryption and I see some people in the chat mentioning VPNs, those are good ways to kind of protect yourself against these sort of things.
Kristian Boag: Just cause it encrypts your traffic, so even if it is going through a man in the middle attack such as this they will they won't see as much information.
Kristian Boag: So going forward here, I just wanted to kind of go over what a rogue AP is versus an evil twin because some people do get these confused.
Kristian Boag: So a rogue a rogue access point, or a rogue AP is basically a illegitimate network device such as a router or a switch that's connected directly to a legitimate network.
Kristian Boag: So for example, someone in an office might go to what they know as an open Ethernet connection and they will just go ahead and connect a router to that, and now they have a rogue access point to that connect into that legitimate network.
Kristian Boag: However, in or in comparison, I should say the evil twin attack is just a copy of a wireless access point.
Kristian Boag: It's not.
Kristian Boag: It might be connected to the legitimate network, but not always, and it's generally just an exact copy of that.
Kristian Boag: OK.
Kristian Boag: So going forward here, I wanted to give you guys kind of a real world demonstration of how this works and how we can kind of use it in an ethical manner without, you know, without attacking real people.
Kristian Boag: And so this is something I actually had to do, but I recently moved and I discovered that my smart TV wasn't working anymore.
Kristian Boag: And so the reason for this being is that it has to be connected to a Wi-Fi network in order for it to work.
Kristian Boag: Of course, that all makes sense.
Kristian Boag: However, I lost my remote during the move.
Kristian Boag: So what that means is that I can't use the TV to switch the network to make it work.
Kristian Boag: So I decided, you know, I'm going to go ahead and download this app on my iPhone, and we'll go ahead and get it working.
Kristian Boag: But the app also requires to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as that TV, so of course that in its own caused several issues and I still cannot use my own TV.
Kristian Boag: And so at this point, I was like, how can I connect to my TV and watch my favorite season of the Mandalorian suits or anything else?
Kristian Boag: And so I went to my, you know, cyber security, ethical hacking brain and went, you know what I could, I could actually set up a fake Wi-Fi network and get this working.
Kristian Boag: And so we'll go ahead and get right into kind of the live demonstration here.
Kristian Boag: So I'm gonna switch over to sharing my screen here and I'll kind of show you guys how this works and if someone wouldn't mind just letting me know when you have a view of my screen.
Sharleen Squires: Yes.
Kristian Boag: OK.
Marjorie Furay: Yes.
Kristian Boag: Thank you so much.
Rikki Boodram: Yeah.
Kristian Boag: OK, so basically you can do this on pretty much any device.
Kristian Boag: You can do it on a computer.
Kristian Boag: You can do it on your cell phone and that sort of thing.
Kristian Boag: There are limitations to this and how it works, but I'll leave you guys to figuring out all of the different work arounds.
Kristian Boag: So for this example, we'll just go ahead and put hot spot into our search bar here and we'll go ahead and go under our system settings.
Kristian Boag: And so down here we have our mobile hot spot set up.
Kristian Boag: And so we have our network name, network password and the bandwidth.
Kristian Boag: So we're gonna go ahead and go into this spot here.
Kristian Boag: And so this requires knowing.
Kristian Boag: In this example, a requires knowing the password granted in a real world example where it's an open Wi-Fi, that's not necessarily the case, because, as we discussed, those are open Wi-Fi and so it's just easy for you to connect.
Kristian Boag: And that in itself is a security flaw.
Kristian Boag: However, in this example I remembered that my network last Wi-Fi name was bananas BANANAS.
Kristian Boag: Alright, so this part got a little bit more complicated because I couldn't remember the password, but eventually I was able to figure out through some other techniques here.
Kristian Boag: So I'm just gonna go ahead and copy and paste that to make my life a little bit easier.
Kristian Boag: Alright, so last thing here.
Kristian Boag: I know for a fact that my TV will Only Connect to a 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi signal, so I'm gonna go ahead and select that.
Kristian Boag: However, not generally you can just click any available and it may or may not work, but for now we'll just go ahead and stick with the 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi signal from my computer, alright.
Kristian Boag: So this thing will be a little bit tricky.
Kristian Boag: I'm going to show you guys that my TV is not working as proof that this is working and that it works as I expected.
Kristian Boag: Alright.
Kristian Boag: Alright, you guys see my camera.
Alec Kramer: Yes, yes.
Anish Patel: Yes. Yep.
Jon Monserrate: Yeah. OK.
Kristian Boag: OK, you guys see how it says gets disconnected.
Jon Monserrate: Yep.
Anish Patel: Yes.
Kristian Boag: Alright, I'm gonna go turn on this.
Kristian Boag: I'm gonna go turn on this Wi-Fi here.
Kristian Boag: The Nas or give it a second.
Kristian Boag: Alright.
Kristian Boag: And then boom, you see it's connected.
Anish Patel: Yeah.
Angela Robinette: Yeah.
Kristian Boag: Alright, cool.
Rikki Boodram: Yeah.
Kristian Boag: So that's how that works.
Kristian Boag: I'll go ahead and substrate my ugly face here.
Kristian Boag: Alright, cool.
Kristian Boag: So that's just generally how that works and kind of wanted to go over kind of like a live presentation of how that works.
Kristian Boag: And so that TV is an example of an IoT device and any of the cybersecurity people in this group will probably know that they're one of the least secure devices.
Kristian Boag: And that's the reason that it works well on this TV.
Kristian Boag: UM, and now I can control my TV and fix it.
Kristian Boag: And so we have a nice little ethical application of all of that.
Kristian Boag: So I'm going to go ahead and resume the PowerPoint here.
Kristian Boag: And hopefully it presents.
Kristian Boag: Can go.
Kristian Boag: Ohh, it decided to stop working.
Kristian Boag: OK, let's fix this again.
Kristian Boag: Yeah.
Kristian Boag: OK.
Kristian Boag: So that was our real world application.
Kristian Boag: This can work on several different devices.
Kristian Boag: If the device only.
Kristian Boag: Uh basically takes advantage of the SSID.
Kristian Boag: The name of the Wi-Fi network and the password and it auto connects with that information.
Kristian Boag: Uh, that makes the device a little bit more vulnerable.
Kristian Boag: And so the next thing we'll go ahead and discuss is you know, how do you protect yourself from the list?
Kristian Boag: And so I've already seen some people talking about it in chat, so we'll just start with the most obvious one is using a VPN.
Kristian Boag: VPN will set up your own virtual private network.
Kristian Boag: There encrypt all of your network traffic and prevent people from spying on what you got going on.
Kristian Boag: Another option, you can just use your own little hot spot on your phone if you have one.
Kristian Boag: If not, you know there's other hotspot options, and usually in your own connection is always gonna be the safest bet because you know what's going on with your own network.
Kristian Boag: And if you decide to ignore those warnings, you can also go ahead and throw on a multi authenticator on your accounts 'cause that at some point or another you may get hacked into.
Kristian Boag: If you're just using public Wi-Fi with no VPN or anything else, and that's another suggestion is just don't use public Wi-Fi if you're not gonna have a VPN or some other means to protect your information.
Kristian Boag: Umm.
Kristian Boag: If you decide to use a public Wi-Fi, it's best to not use any.
Kristian Boag: Sensitive websites such as banks, even social media.
Kristian Boag: If you're gonna put your passwords, emails, that sort of thing, and also with these sort of devices, you're gonna wanna disallow autoconnect.
Kristian Boag: So I actually found that feature on my TV after I figured out that you could do this.
Kristian Boag: I'm not sure if I'm gonna turn it on or not because it's convenient to be able to do this, but also you know it's a security concern because there's all sorts of examples of simple devices like a TV being hacked into and resulting in a wider breach.
Kristian Boag: And so that's a that's my presentation there.
Kristian Boag: There's thank you guys for taking a listen.
Kristian Boag: I'll of course you know, if you guys have any questions or comments, concerns, I'd be happy to take some of them.
Marjorie Furay: That was awesome.
Anish Patel: Yeah, good job.
Kristian Boag: Thank you.
Marjorie Furay: So my TV kind of backs my neighbor over here.
Marjorie Furay: And what would I have to do on my TV to keep them from getting on my TV through the network that way?
Kristian Boag: I to understand your question a little bit more.
Kristian Boag: Umm, you're saying that like you don't want them getting onto your network or you don't want their TV on your network?
Rikki Boodram: To.
Marjorie Furay: And they get on my TV.
Marjorie Furay: They have to get on my network.
Kristian Boag: Yeah, they would have to get on your network first in order to get onto your TV.
Kristian Boag: Yeah.
Marjorie Furay: Got it.
Marjorie Furay: OK, just wanna clear that up.
Kristian Boag: Uh, so. Granted.
Kristian Boag: Granted, yeah.
Kristian Boag: So this example like I mentioned it, it does require a password in this specific instance.
Kristian Boag: So, granted, if there was an Amazon Smart TV Fire TV in a coffee shop, you could probably get away with doing this and then doing whatever you wanted on that TV.
Kristian Boag: But since you're your TV is on your own home network, then you're OK.
Kristian Boag: But that.
Marjorie Furay: I might try that at at BW is one time and see if I can get in change this screen to what I wanna watch.
Marjorie Furay: That's funny.
Marjorie Furay: Very cool.
Kristian Boag: Anyone else have any other questions?
Kristian Boag: That's true.
Kristian Boag: Rikki's right.
Marjorie Furay: This is that ship.
Kristian Boag: You can turn off SSID sharing so that your networks private.
Marjorie Furay: Yeah, right.
Marjorie Furay: So do for my hot spot.
Marjorie Furay: OK, that's cool.
Marjorie Furay: Awesome.
Marjorie Furay: Well, this was great.
Marjorie Furay: This was really great.
Marjorie Furay: A lot more information to learn.
Marjorie Furay: I'm telling you every single time I say it every time when we get done.
Marjorie Furay: I love these multi master classes.
Sharleen Squires: So we're learning.
Marjorie Furay: Absolutely wonderful.
Sharleen Squires: We're learning to be bad.
Kristian Boag: Yeah.
Marjorie Furay: Yeah, some of these mass.
Kristian Boag: No, this is ethical, ethical.
Marjorie Furay: Yeah, we do have to be careful in the master class sometimes, but yes.
Kristian Boag: Right.
Kristian Boag: That's why I left all of the bad stuff to you guys.
Kristian Boag: As research you guys do what you will, but you know.
Marjorie Furay: Right.
Marjorie Furay: You gave us the end.
Marjorie Furay: That was it.
Kristian Boag: Yeah, Matthew, you can do it in Linux.
Kristian Boag: And Callie more effectively, because I can you can create like 1520 Wi-Fi networks at the same time if you really wanted to and you can decrease increase their signal depending on what tools you're using.
Kristian Boag: But yeah, it's super easy to do it in windows.
Kristian Boag: It's kind of crazy.
Marjorie Furay: Wow.
Marjorie Furay: Well, awesome.
Marjorie Furay: Thank you very much.
Marjorie Furay: Excellent job.
Kristian Boag: Absolutely.
Marjorie Furay: Yeah, both you and Anish, thank you very much.
Marjorie Furay: You guys and once again, umm everybody have a great evening.
Marjorie Furay: Have a great weekend.
Marjorie Furay: Don't forget Father's Day, even if it's a grandpa or a friend, or somebody who's being a father to you.
Marjorie Furay: Tell them thank you on Sunday or Light a candle for your father on sat on Sunday.
Marjorie Furay: That's what I do.
Marjorie Furay: Umm, Juneteenth, we are off on Juneteenth, which is Monday.
Marjorie Furay: So no meetings on Monday either.
Marjorie Furay: If you want to meet with your team, you know you can go ahead and do that on Monday if you choose to.
Marjorie Furay: But we're but the schools closed.
Marjorie Furay: PGIP closed on June teeth.
Marjorie Furay: So, so are we and I will cancel the meetings tomorrow.
Marjorie Furay: Other than that, that's it Monday, yes.
Sharleen Squires: And that's Monday. Right Monday.
Sharleen Squires: OK.
