Smart Tooth Brush Botnets Are Fake News, For Now...

- In this video I discuss how a fake story about a smart toothbrush botnet used for DDoS attacks against a Swiss company went viral. The story is not real but the concept of a botnet made up of hijacked smart personal hygiene devices is becoming closer to reality each day as IoT becomes devices more common.

A wise man once said "technology gets smarter, users get dumber", and this is exactly the case with the whole gimmick of IoT
I'm an embedded engineer. Iot is much more valuable to companies.
It's fantastic for remote control and info of a thing on the other side of Earth.
@@hwhack I agree that it can be very useful when done right, but the problem is, the average consoomer is lured in with just the word "smart", and most people don't know a thing about securing their devices/network. So then you end up having exploits leaving them all vulnerable
If you are dumb and rich enough to buy a smart toothbrush you deserve to be hacked
@@MP-tz2yn oh I agree. Regular FW updates are not something business people understand needs to happen.
@@hwhackNot to mention that companies have no fn business knowing what's going on in your house, or in your mouth, or about anything concerning your life and privacy, really.
I prefer my point of entry in my exit - internet connected butt plug with mallware
"Hackers have found a backdoor on wifi buttplugs, users are going crazy" 😂
Pozzed data loads
@@robert7100 one could say your "back door" has been backdoored
there was a whole scandal in the chess community where a player alledgedly beat the chess world champion by using a butt plug to receive chess notation moves, so that's not far off.
Edit: I forgot there's a github repo that was created as proof-of-concept for this (RonSijm / ButtFish). God bless.
Best fucking comment i read in years
Some day you’ll probably hear about a ddos coming from smart condoms
I just hope there will be some competitive games I could play with my smart condoms
HAHA that's funny. They already have "smart" naughty toys so it'ill come alright

Their most likely are smart cities that exist
@@cyphersurf890in fairness, that is one sector of technology that was improved by smart features, however goofy it may be.
The _S_ in _IoT_ stands for "Security".
"But sir there is no S in IoT"
"That's the point!"
"The devs included it in the vanilla build"
You spitting facts.
No, hes spitting toothpaste
Partial facts. You can have bad breath for reasons other than badly brushed teeth.
@@samiraperi467 You are also spitting facts. Respect.
They will literally put less than a couple dollars worth of chips in a brush and charge 20 times more, then just keep making more e-waste...
yeah. e waste and a mini computer that can do almost anything. inside a toothbrush or an eggs platter...They're so big on using the same dirt cheap consolidated architectures that have every functionality in it for a lower price. amazon ring devices have radios for example...for some reason? Even if they're not being used atm, but maybe will be used later? by amazon or by someone who pushes a malicious update? It's the same thing all over the map. costumer buying things they don't understand or buying a product that changes over time, adding or removing features. Which makes the product different from the day you paid for it.
"You don't need an app for that. The Devs included that in the Vanilla build" xD
“Dang it, I though my toothbrush had been running slowly recently”
if you buy a smart toothbrush you deserve everything you get.
I got one through my orthodontist due to my braces treatment, never turned on the Bluetooth option (also makes the battery last longer)
@@sykaelYou might as well buy a normal one. The point of the "smart" part is to collect data, there's no point in having one if you don't want it do to that.
@@whannabi it was included in the treatment price, so I'll keep it for now
oral b electric toothbrushes just tack it on, even the 50 dollars ones are bluetooth. You can completely ignore it though
This is kinda mean, disabled people use smart toothbrushes to help keep them on task and not get distracted, it's not really their fault
never knew a smart tooth brush was a thing
what kind of jungle clear lead you into the comment section of a tech video
@@mei3496he played with the smart toothbrush in his behind and it stopped vibrating mid game so he needed to do some investigating
@@robert7100 normally the smart toothbrush is connected to WADBOT servers so it gives him info on enemies and lets him kite better
there are frikkn smart wedding rings now LMFAO
@@grandstarstudiosYT WHATTTTTTTTT???????????
Why would something like a "smart toothbrush" exist is so beyond me... it's just SO dumb. What are we gonna have next? Smart toilets? Smart toilet paper? Smart water bottles? Geez just make something that works, like, why is it so hard?
We already have smart toilets and smart thermos, soon we will have smart pants and forget to charge it so we cant wear it
The japs made a smart toilet a while ago, it could scan your turd and send the results to your doctor if it indicated some damage.
we have recommendations for how much water people should drink
a smart toilet with built in bidet that can use ai to target poop would be pretty cool. If someone wants to hack me and spy on my butt cleansing... go for it.
the friend or two of mine that use them like it so they can see what parts of the mouth they're missing or doing to much, I think. I'm not familiar with how they work.
the one guy is a software engineer so I trust his opsec, but definitely not the other friend's lol.
Maybe just buy a normal toothbrush...?
DDoS: Dental Denial of Service
😂
I read the ble data off of my kids Toothbrush and tied that to his wifi access. No brushing = no wifi. Next day I heard the Toothbrush in their room... I was outsmarted. Never got around to adding rssi I to the mix.
good parent
Reminds me of the story of that silicon valley good citizen that got locked out from his smart home for saying a racial slur. If you don't have control over your things then you don't own them, the company (or whatever hacker/aplhabet agency) does.
you know there are a lot of instances where people are locked out of their house by stupid IoT shenanigans and i find it strange that you chose that one specifically
@@userNULL its the one that came to mind and the guy had a really punchable soy face so its a perfect meme
He didn't even say a racial slur. The company just said he did.
No need for network connectivity, an app is overkill. My last few toothbrushes just have an LED that lights up if you press too hard. Instant feedback, no data leaks or zombie appliances.
Vibrator bot nets would be hilarious... It's even warning me what it's up to !
Don't get me started with vibes, they're vulnerable to the BLE spam. If you're relatively close to one (10m distance) you can turn them on and off lol
You'd be surprised how many people can't do basic life tasks correctly. You know like brushing their teeth properly, eating the right amount/type of food.
A lot of this "smart" stuff is a gimmick but there is actual evidence to suggest that stuff like fitness monitoring works and I guess it works really well for basic life tasks that you do everyday automatically and don't even notice how bad you have gotten at them.
But there is no reason for that to connected to the internet. Having an app should only be needed when there isn't space to show the information on the device. For a tooth brush all you need is a vibration motor to signal "too hard", "too fast", "keep going" etc.
"too hard. too fast. keep going." ... "now tell me about the other women you don't like at work" 😂"now here"s some cash" - Shake weight from south park. remember that episodes where Randy gets all these weird hobbies and even becomes a famous star rated kitchen chef, all because he doesn't get attention from his wife. meanwhile the wife's at home being trained by that "fitness" , " smart shake weight" that splashes her when he's finished. your comment reminded me of that
bold of you to assume i brush everyday
Bold of you to assume I still have any teeth left
Bold of you to assume I brush any day
Nice to see another who has not been brainwashed by the dental cabal. We are few and far between.
No way every toothbrush becomes a smart brush. Standard tooth brushes can be as low as ten cents each, and unlike stuff like a printer, you don't need to use electricity to use a brush.
I’m so worried this comment won’t age well. Who knows in like 20 years they’ll be making entire circuits that enable smart toothbrushes that cost Pennys to make 😅
At least the user can (probably) decide to never use the Bluetooth or whatever we are using 20 years from now function
@@bcredeur97 it will, like at there least there will be always a person convcious about thr environment buying bamboo teethbrushes
I think he referred to electric toohbrushes.
I like your real talk no bs, sarcasm and word play. It's great because even people who aren't big on tech can understand your humor, so keep it up man. This time though, you didn't start the vid by saying "Man.. oh Man!" cheers Kenny :)
Fun fact a person made a smart device for a chastity cage and an Australian comedian lewis spears trolled vice to publish an article saying he was being held ransom and had to pay to unlock it.
Even though he trolled vice I feel we're in that dystopian future that we now have smart devices for things that shouldn't have it.
My mom bought that $300 toothbrush and I immediately knew we were all done for
Ppl saying smart toothbrush is useless, just imagine treadmills.
kenny went so hard the last 2 minutes, god damn. 1.75x speed made it seem so passionate
Let me use my connected sneakers in peace
I remember learning about the IOT back in 3rd grade when I got my school laptop. It was 2-3 months til I was scanning IP ranges for security cameras 😂
Idk my wife got me an oral b. I thought it was waste of money but Man it's like dentist fresh twice a day.
Yea, I dont think the bluetooth capability has anything to do with it. Electric toothbrushes are helpful though, I agree with that for sure.
@@georgehunda649Exactly. Electric toothbrushes are excellent, the added bluetooth in some of them is utterly pointless.
Yeah your teeth are absolutely glowing...
@@sirtra 🤣
already saw the news but clicked your vid anyway to give you a like and a comment for using a honest title instead of clickbait
There are electric toothbrushes that light up when brushing too hard.
There also used to be electric toothbrushes that used bone conduction to play terrible pop music inside of your head while you brushed.
Im dead serious,
That's actually a good feature. Pressure sensor.
Yes. This is a good feature. Especially for people with severe gum recession.
All your content is awesome man, really appreciate the info and insight
Love the Mega 64 reference
IOTeeth
Back in they day they used to put radio transmitters into people's teeth
@@fish3977 I could’ve done without knowing that.
@@fish3977Like a spy
@@fish3977 wait, really? Why?;
It's mindblowing to realize than some people job is to code program for a toothbrush ...
When for smart toilet paper ?
Don't give them ideas...
The advice I've heard for dentists to see if you brush too hard is to see if your toothbrush (just an ordinary one) is like sprawled out. If they're made correctly then they don't do that without too much pressure.
Can't wait for Bluetooth LE Spam to add Toothbrushes to the list.
Regarding brushing too hard: my oral B has an led light that indicates it the pressure is fine or too hard. You can use that just fine without any bluetooth functions enabled. It really does help as a life of bad technique from bad instructions to brush harshly isn't easily corrected.
It's funny because when I heard about this I instantly remembered an old ALF Tales cartoon from when I was young where the evil villain made some smart connected blenders that would try and take over the world. Found the cartoon again, the title is "ALF Tale's John Herney"...
when I read Bluetooth toothbrush I just thought of toothtunes.
Rose toy bot net is fake news... For now
No wonder we had a goddamn chip shortage
You can take my smart toothbrush, but you'll never take my smart enema!!
I'm beginning to think not able to fit wifi into the budget is really one of my largest benefits.
my local Walmart sells Bluetooth tooth brushes
most 4x6 thermal label printers and bluetooth too
Do they sell a smart shake weight for Randy's wife too?
@@cyphersurf890yeah the shake weights are bluetooth too lmao
everything has an app now
LMAO man @@cancer5895
if you are not dump you do not need “smart” things
reminds me of that mega man episode where lan's oven gets hacked and he has to have mega man battle the virus so that his house doesn't burn down.
This aged so well, you literally have someone the idea
My tooth brush got hacked. I now have blue tooth.
My Oral B toothbrush has a red light on the back that lights up when you apply too much pressure they are available for probably 10 years by now and all that without using any app
I'm worried about this trend of making everything "smart". Things like ovens and doors make some sense, but they're not really needed, but toothbrushes? Why do I need my toothbrush to connect to my phone? What has our society become? We just want everything to be "smart".
algorithm. This was good for a laugh.
those shutterstock hacker videos are hilarious .
The rant at the end about people brushing their teeth correctly was completely unexpected but appreciated nonetheless. 10/10 good video
The brushing too hard system can be done without Bluetooth and smartphone app, at least the case with my parents, lol.
I do just use a soft regular toothbrush to avoid brushing too hard.
I really want one just to put it on home assistant, and host it all myself
The next IoT device: Fleshlight... **shutters**
I will say stock non connected electric toothbrushes do usually have a built in 'brushing too hard' reminder but it's just a simple force measurement device. There isn't really a need to micromanage that to the point you need an app...
Lmao usually your bleeding gums will tell you if your brushing too hard 😂
If you brush ur gums and floss enough, over time they dont bleed anymore. Gums of steel, raaaaaaaaah@@terryperez7615
Bahaha imagine "jail broke toothbrushes that function better* 😂😂
Edit: your voice and word choice is perfect. Don't ever change it ur not annoying to listen to.
Luke Smith really appreciates this feedback about the effectiveness and appeal of his deepfakes
@@tissuepaper9962 how you know?
my exact reaction when i saw the news
Reminds me of those mattresses or watches that "track your sleep" like okay? What is that data supposed to do, magically cure insomnia?
I've never heard a dentist recommend a 'smart toothbrush'; they always recommend their own standard [not electric] brush - or a basic electric brush. that's it o.o
I have an oral b io but never use the Bluetooth function. I don’t have the app installed nor do I connect to the toothbrush. The actual brushing function of the toothbrush makes it worth it - it’s a fantastic electric toothbrush
Okay hear me out guys,
“Botnet smart toilets”
I clicked on this because I thought this was a darknet diaries video with the art style of the thumbnail
Working in IT makes me want less IOT devices but my smart toothbrush (quip) has helped me since I always had trouble keeping up with the amount of time I brushed for. Might be undiagnosed adhd or something but the really the main reason I like it. haha
Thats cool you have a use for them. But you could get a non-IOT regular timer.
@@captainruffles5990 Very true I could and the more I work in IT the less I want IOT stuff but idk just seems easier to keep track of with the brush. It also vibrates every 30 seconds or so to switch sides.
And I bet everytime there's a new IOT device, cyber security people are excited to try to get in, it's like christmas for them.
Just brush after every meal
@@lookinaturmom I have actually been trying to do that or at least bigger meals. haha
You're a legend😂
Your 100% correct if someone here is a smartbrush owner just brush your damn teeth 😆😆I feel sorry for anyone who does not understand that we dont need these useless smart devices
Boy I never though hacking my PSP and getting interested in hacking my own devices at the ripe age of 15 would come in handy later in life
I don't brush my teeth very often. My dentist told me it is all a scam anyway.
I beg you're pardon. Some things you don't admit online buddy.
@@IDontModWTFz why would I not? I'm not the one getting scammed by Big Dental and all the Toothbrush/paste companies.
@@funbucket09Wait, aren't you joking!? This is a joke, right? RIGHT?
Artificial intelligence has no chance against natural stupidity.

I watched the ad video for this thing twice. And I still don't know what it does. That's how you know it's a good product!!!!
BTW you should look into the October kwik trip security breach, they still haven't detailed what happend, they lied about it too.
my LG air conditioner is not allowed on the wifi after 7pm
What’s your opinion on the monero crash?
I got the philips pretty cheap, never used any bluetooth gimmicks with it
Since most people I have asked if they heard about this usually start by saying they were not even aware that smart tooth brushes were a thing, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say my best theory here is:
1] this has been a massive marketing hoax
2] people didnt know these existed, so a push was made to make a lot of noise
3] now idiots will be flocking to the stores to buy these
aaaaaannnd the sure thing:
4] it is a joke, for now
I have been trying to get more people looking into these kinds of devices though so in a way it is kind of a good thing that awareness has been so heavily planted onto IoT.
oh and:
5] the number one way these can be used in an effective offensive/recon operation, is echo-location as a means to gain a tactical advantage in unfamiliar territory
5.5] think about the items you bring when you travel. a toothbrush is one of those. people even bring them to work sometimes.
6] only a nation-state group would find that useful...
Dude, are you making video about Monero getting delisted and mega-panic?
You assume I brush my teeth every day? You underestimate the power of my depression!
I always isolate each IoT device on my network from the mainnet.
my family uses sonicare without the iot/bluetooth bullshit. that toothbrush just cleans very well you guys.
Whats shocking is not that this attack happened...rather that 3 million people purchased these "smart" toothbrushes...
not everything needs to be "smart". Some things were fine just the way they were. there was nothing wrong with toothbrushes. just standard old toothbrushes. they didn't need to be smart in any way shape or form.
Sorry I can’t brush my teeth today, a hacker flashed doom onto it
Okay so hear me out, sonicare 4100 literally has no Bluetooth or internet capabilities. The reason electric toothbrushes are usually better is 1 they have an electric timer you probably aren’t brushing for the full duration 2 pressure monitor because you can be brushing too hard 3 it makes something extremely important like having clean teeth easier. I’m all for less technology but this is a time I’m like you literally didn’t read why people use something and say da hecking technology bad
This man right here helped me switch from Windows to Linux and I give credits to him
I use Pop OS because its easy to use even thought I can install Arch and game on it
And something I learned while using Linux so far is to not install updates while in college. If your internet fails your Kernel can get corrupted
I am so glad you debunked that article. So many publishers were just dumping out the same news.
I brush my teeth too hard, and I will say it's a lot easier to do than you might think. In order for me to brush correctly, I have to do it so soft that it makes me feel like I'm not being thorough enough. With that said, I don't own a smart toothbrush and hopefully never will.
No fucking way someone actually thought we even need "smart" fucking egg trays wha the fuck
I wanna connect the bwootoof to my eggs bro, unlock the sweet sounds of Dr. Dre. He's a physician.
XMR got a price drop from being delisted from Binance, do you think it's a buy signal?
How have they not perfected some thing they’ve been doing since the age of three? Perhaps they have dexterity problems or hand tremors or bad coordination. It’s rather rude to assume everyone has a fully functioning set of hands
Got an Alexa for a dollar and an hp printer made it bug me about buying ink
Both are broken piles of plastic in my garage as they deserve
I unno, I'd love to have a botnet that the user doesn't even know is possible to have, sounds more ethical than using resources from their computer while their computer is being used
Bingo!
Remember, the "S" in the phrase "IOT" stands for "security".

*rubs hands with glee* The world is mine as soon as I take over all the smart toothbrushes! SIGH
Cant wait for my toothtbrush to begin advertising to me
The future is weird.
I bought one of those toothbrushes! I was more interested in the travel case with integrated charger since I traveled a lot at that point, and pressure monitoring system with light feedback, none of the others came with the extras, it turned out it also had RGB! Meaningless but fun. Never used the Bluetooth except to set the lighting color a few times, this was my first electric toothbrush and it helped me get the usage right, it only took a few months.
Oh and guess what? I can eat whatever I want because my toothbrush was built in Germany and delivers an industrial grade cleaning experience. It even works when I'm borderline unconscious!
Change my ways? Nah, ill let my substantial disposable income do that for me thanks.
it is only good if you make it your self with a 3d printer micro computer/ controller software that you wrote an other
Who needs their toothbrush connected to the internet? For what? My mom gifted me an usual electrical one but I still use a non-electric, not connected to anything toothbrush, because the electrical one hurts me when I'm using it, it's much to strong.
