Cybersecurity Expert Answers Hacking History Questions | Tech Support | WIRED

Video Overview & Insights

Cybersecurity architect and adjunct professor at NC State University Jeff Crume joins WIRED to answer the internet's burning questions about the history of hacking. What was the first computer virus? Who is the most influential hacker in history? How did hacking work before the internet? Have hackers ever taken down a government website? Do VPNs really offer the anonymity we think they do? What is a firewall and how does it work? Answers to these questions and many more await on Hacking History Support.

I think Sneakers has decent representation of old school hacking. War Games too.

3:37 Have hackers ever taken down a government website?

4:42 Signal encryption/open-source

The eye contact leaves after a certain time seems like basic insecurity eveb tho the information is good wish people like this where more confident in themselves would make them lest likely to get bullied when there younger just based on what i can tell clearly "later in life" the jock is poor and these guys are rich but i wonder how many of these people die to suciide before there sucess due to bullying. Just a observation and no im not high im drunk.

14:20 How can hackers shut down a pipeline?

I love seeing the Timex Sinclair ZX81 (or TS 1000, can't tell for sure) showing up in this video. Brings back so many memories. I still have my ZX81. AND . . . the 16K memory cartridge! 🙂

15:48 What is a firewall and how does it work?

ZX81... Nice.

"firewall" hasn't heard this word for years 😂😂

21:54 How likely are you to catch a computer virus?

23:01 What hack has caused the most damage?

This man seems surely knows what he’s talking about. What a great video.

Regarding electronic voting,
however, he was too extreme in my opinion when he says that the less technological option is the best.
If your electronic process, devices, source code, data flow can be audited, you will probably end up with a more reliable process than involving hundreds of potentially biased humans.
Also, he’s mixing a contingency option (paper ballots) when something goes wrong with the actual much more efficient electronic solution.

I may or may not have phone phreaked in high school using tones recorded on a hallmark card that let you record and play back certain recorded tones. I may or may not have taken the bits out of that card and had them in a very small compact box with the different buttons for each function. It may or may not have worked swimmingly. Hypothetically, in this fictional comment that definitely doesn't represent reality or deeds that may or may not have been perpetrated.

This whole time Im just thinking about Hackers and the quote ""What's up, man? I'm the Phreak. The Phantom Phreak? The King of Nynex? I know you play the game."

….wait a minute are we supposed to believe Hackers haven’t hacked their own history?🤨

The US can put trillions of dollars through the internet via the IRS but we can't trust voting electronically? FFS. The logic is so childish, this guy is a hack.

Great topic, great guest. Why does the shot keep jumping zoom every few seconds? Not going to sit through the rest because that's jarring.

Cybersecurity in the late 1980s, early 1990s, was having a telnet port open on your system. Open to the world, that is. I've never done any hacking because it simply doesn't interest me, but even back then, I knew that it wasn't a very good idea to have a telnet port open.

Are you guys surprised by his pronunciation of "malware"? Of is it standard?

Interesting that TikTok under US ownership has REALLY revealed how anti-free speech and dangerous it is.

India does the voting really well too. Its a mix of physical and electronic setup.
Tbh a billion votes in paper will cause too much wastage XD

Pen and paper 👍 if it’s too private/unsafe to get public, don’t put it into digital form, yet alone internet.

Question?
Is it possible to dumb it down for cyber security problems?
To prevent attackers....
