good everyone my name is Lucas and this is sus up a Channel about survival in the online jungle now you might be surprised to see me again and asking yourself where's the lovely Emily or the swab Bradley well I'm just here to provide a little drop of Aussie in this otherwise Posh British ocean how's that for you on the topic of British people and their strange Shenanigans have you ever dreamt of owning your own invisibility cloak from Harry Potter my body's gone well now Engineers around the world are working on similar devices but the results
are far from convincing the main problem is that such an illusion should combine sort of two contradictory principles for invisibility to work it needs to let in light from objects outside of itself but not let light through in the opposite direction in other words you see everything and nobody sees you I've got good news for you this is possible in the world of computer technology and today we're going to be opening the Pandora's box of digital invisibility to show you how to put such device on your computer by the way the computer I'm talking about
has been in front of you this whole time well this is it this is no simple flash drive it already has a powerful operating system installed on it that will work with most personal computers and laptops just insert it into the USB port and reboot the system to open up a whole new world of possibilities finish working turn off the computer pull out the flash drive and no trace of your actions will remain if you're interested in information security or maybe just a keen television fan you've probably heard about the series Mr Robot just a
few years ago it really raised the bar for authenticity of representing hacking in television shows the protagonist didn't try to hack the Pentagon by stuffing meaningless combinations of characters into a command line or you know frantically typing gibberish on their keyboards they use real network monitoring programs Port scanners and similar tools it was thanks to Mr Robot that many enthusiasts learned about Cali Linux C is based on debbon but differs in the focus of the programs that are included in the build for example there's wire shark here a network packet analyzer that we used in
a video about how phones are listening to us there's the famous Network scanner nmap the legendary John the Ripper password cracker tools for working with my favorite uino boards and even mgro in case you have to make use of Open Source intelligence this distribution was originally created for specialists in the field of computer security but its increasing popularity has led to it acquiring a large number of interesting modules and programs of course they allow you to not only monitor other computers but also to fully control your own therefore Cali Linux is ideal suited for the
role of our invisible computer so I'm not going to install C on my computer but instead I'm going to make a bootable USB flash drive firstly this means I won't leave any traces of my presence on the computer itself secondly there will also be no evidence left on the flash drive either each time the power is turned off the system will return to its original settings nice I'm going to show you how to do this step by step this is the simplest and most logical step I go to the site cali.org and I find myself
facing a choice here you can download versions of the operating system for Windows Mac mobile devices and even single board computers like Raspberry Pi if you don't have a spare USB flash drive at hand just simply download images for virtual machines it's not going to have the sort of full functionality and furthermore shouldn't be used if you are trying to achieve anonymity but it'll do the trick if you just want to feel like Elliot Anderson right now what interests me the most is the live boot section here are the system assemblies that can be run
from a USB flash drive one click and the download of 3 GB has begun I don't recommend downloading the full version it's it's probably going to be too big and if something is missing in the future you can always install applications with a couple of commands in the console don't download the experimental version either this is pretty much just for experts and enthusiasts to look at errors in the code I mean we're nering out here here today but come on we're not experimental mode nering out just yet pay attention to the link titled documentation you
know we're embarking on the path of real hackers so we're going to have to read up a little bit of the background you see the whole process of creating a bootable USB flash drive is described here in detail there are links to programs for recording images and choosing the necessary settings I will use the first of the other proposed programs ATA there are only two buttons first I need to select the image that I'll up load to the flash drive and then specify its ladder that's all nothing complicated or unnecessary the installation process takes about
10 minutes and during this process there isn't really much to look at but after it's all over the installer will invite you to leave your opinion about the program on Twitter I haven't even launched CA yet but I can already boast that I'm a hacker excellent so Windows no longer sees the flash drive this is a good sign it means everything is working as it should I'll leave it in the computer and rest start the system I have priority booty now configured from USB devices so the computer will first try to find the operating system
on external hard drives and flash drives and only then from the main disk so now calii Boot Menu appears on my screen I'll probably have to come back later to the advanced settings to check a few things but right now I'm pretty Keen to get started let's click on the top line okay so here's my first question the password's already been set but I don't know it okay well I'll St by trying the classics username admin password admin wait a minute not going to work this is Linux so it should be maybe root and root
aha okay reject it again well we'll have to check the documentation section it turns out that I almost guessed it I mean previously by default all users worked in Cali under the main user but recently the creators of the system decided to change this pair two and here's another excellent example of programmers creativity C and C [Music] [Applause] [Music] that's it I'm in the system so far nothing abnormal except you can see that the start button is in the upper left hand corner a little unusual but you'll forget about it pretty quick the list of
programs is huge and the names of the sections alone command respect see information gathering vulnerability analysis web application analysis password selection attacks on wireless networks well admit it your eyes lit up at that one too even the browser is putting ideas in my head I mean look at the bookmarks that are already saved here using this system as an average office computer is unlikely to be comfortable there's a text editor but it's very simple very rough it's enough for notes maybe drafts you'd pretty much be struggling to create a beautiful report in it and besides
when I turn off the computer all the information and settings will disappear the next time the system will boot it'll do so in exactly the same state it was during its first launch if an attacker tries to steal your laptop it's enough to just pull out the flash drive and they won't get any information of course you can allocate an additional section for storing data but what we want to build here is a tool that leaves no Trace so in this instance we're not going to do that if you decide to save the data create
an encrypted dis it has a unique feature where you can set a password that will not open it but instead erase the keys and the encrypted data I recommend using long and random passwords to store your data and making the destruction password short and predictable for example using your date of birth or the name of your pet if someone tries to open the protection they'll start probably by going through those obvious passwords and thereby destroying any evidence against you as for the data security on the computer itself it's quite incomparable with Windows so now let's
try to assess what other hackers can find out about us I'll start with digital fingerprints which we've already talked about in a separate video the result of the check on am I unique website leaves a lot to be desired despite the fact that I'm using the same version of the system as thousands of other people there are things giving me away look first of all there's the Firefox version why are we still here just a second plus the size of my laptop screen is also giving me away fortunately I just need this browser to download
another one that can mimic other people's fingerprints such Solutions are often used by traffic Arbitrage Specialists advertisers and contextual advertising experts now I won't advertise the specific solution but I'll just say that my choice would be between commercial Solutions such as multilogin or ghost browser they will reliably cover my digital fingerprints and they're enough to protect my privacy during normal surfing now the result on am I unique looks completely different of course I won't connect as well to a network directly I'll take the opportunity to connect to a list of proxy servers this is much
easier to do here than in other operating systems I mean have you ever tried to set up a wide Network in Windows it's just a pile of menus some of which are going back to the days of XP here everything is intuitive and clearly organized obviously I won't connect to the internet via office or home Wi-Fi for now other people's networks will become my allies fortunately I can connect with them even without knowing their passwords you see C Linux already has programs installed for hacking other people's networks by the way for working in public places
the creators of Cali have provided quite a fun function look here now we will type the command in the terminal and the interface will change you see the formidable Cali Linux has disguised itself as the usual Windows 10 now you can sit quietly in the food court drinking a bubble tea and no one will pay much attention to you you know I myself didn't expect that in under 40 minutes I would be able to create a flash drive that would turn an ordinary computer into a powerful tool for defense or attack the tools of Network
Security Experts are becoming more and more accessible every day if 10 years ago we pretty much couldn't even get past the black screen of the terminal now there are more and more tools with increasingly simple and friendly interfaces don't be afraid to jump head first into the world of Network Security even with just a little bit of effort you can significantly protect yourself from Intruders in the digital jungle the weak get got so even if you spend a small amount of time on such security measures you'll be of no interest to those luring in the
shadows feel free to leave questions about information security in the comments share your experiences with us and tell us what you would like to discuss next all the presenters including myself closely follow the comments my name's Lucas good luck getting online with c and free booting your neighbors internet I and the some sub experts will be waiting for you in our next video see you next time [Music]
