- Facebook Offensive Security Engineer Amanda Rousseau aka "Malware Unicorn" uses the power of Twitter to answer common questions about hacking. As an offensive security engineer, Amanda has seen just about everything when it comes computer hacking. What exactly is the difference between a black hat and a white hat hacker? Is there such thing as a red hat hacker? What's the point of malware, is it just to be annoying? Are people who start DDoS attacks actually hackers? Amanda answers all these Twitter questions, and much more!

I couldn't imagine somebody hacking my pressure cooker that could be crazy dangerous
Yeah, that's why I'll never get a "smart" one. 8/
Think of it this way though. They wouldn't hack your pressure cooker to make it blow up. They would hack it because it may have terrible security and give them an opening into your network.

My question would be "How long do you spend furiously typing at a screen with green illegible text going vertically up and down on it?"
REAL hackers have at least 3-4 screens of vertical scrolling green non-legible multi-lingual alphanumeric symbols they stare at intently for effect. Pft... newb
Unironically at one point I did have a screen filled with green text. But that was just me going through lists of files (like 20,000+), and sorting them out.

Have you ever been on a project where someone in a suit behind you nervously yells, "ENHANCE!," and then you press a button, hear a computer "squiggle" sound, and you end up magicking the picture into a better resolution?
Adobe Lightroom has a similar feature, although it needs the RAW photo, and not the raster, as RAW has more data.
It can't magically make a number plate readable though.
The analogy I would have used for the first question "Why do we need a password if hackers already know everything about us?" would have been. The criminals know exactly where you live but if you lock your doors and windows, have some security cameras, and an alarm system they will have a bit of trouble getting to your things.
Having a password just mean random passers by are kept out. It's not a defense against targeted attacks, it's a defense against opportunity attacks. If there is no opportunity, they wont' attack. If there's no password, I assume you don't mind me having a look around. It's like a 'Welcome, come in' sign.
"Why have passwords when they're gonna hack you anyways?"
Why lock your door when they're gonna break in anyways?

*Ask
Many of these questions are incredibly basic. This actually gives me a good impression of people's level of awareness in cybersecurity. And surprises me as well.
I mean the definition of Malware was not really right tho and I still think she confused a Decompiler with a Debugger :D
What's more crazy is the low level of technology employed in securing anything online
@@Illiminator31 she studied computer science. I'm sure she knows. What gave you that impression though?
@@turdsalami That the definition was wrong or that she confused the Programs?

She puts on the ski mask, the glasses, and fake-clickity-clacks on the keyboard but does not end it with "I'm in". 8/10 video -2 points for that obvious missing component
"hackers know everything about us so why have passwords". I think they misspelled the government
The government doesn’t already know that info, but if they really wanted to they could easily get ahold of all of your digital information. As for physical info - that requires a physical investigation, in real life, inside your house. The government isn’t that powerful.
@@d-o-n-u-t yes and the people are just paranoid
@@buffkangaroodog Source?
T•Ø•R•Ü•S what makes you think the government isn't very very powerful?
They don't know. Passwords are hashed and stored in the database, so it's not in plain text. Hackers can get the password hash and know the algorithm used to figure out the password.
People working in the government or security have a really strong ethic about not touching users' sensitive data or they will have their license revoked and end up in jail.
I'm so happy! Someone asked her "how long until malware starts affecting cameras?" And since it already happened, she answered "minus six years".

Red hat (Linux distro) is probably being confused with "Red Team" security, like a sanctioned Penetration test but unannounced and against a live system by taking on an attacker role etc
There was also some joke a while ago about Red Hats being angry Linux nerds or something. I don't think the joke aged very well though.
Thank you. I don’t know how a cybersecurity expert would not be able to determine this reference/their confusion.
A red hat is a hacker that goes after bad hackers illegaly
A quick 2 second Google of 'red hat hacker' confirms that is 100% accurate.. Digital vigilantes. And every other comment on this video.. Well. 😂
I went there as well, someone clearly jumbled black hat with red team, and then googled red hat only to find that Red Hat is a thing just not security specific.
A Red Hat? 🤔 * Soviet theme starts playing *
JBW19951 MAGA hat

@@ajko000 Red Hat is a company that makes a lot of stuff, most notably Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Of which the "upstream" version is Fedora, both of which are Linux distributions, but yeah the company is Red Hat, the distro is RHEL.

I feel like the "red hat" is a joke that went over her head lol... Red Hat is a company that made a name for itself in the Linux world

Imagine calling yourself cyber security specialist and not knowing the father of Fedora Linux and the biggest enterprise distro...
I was about to say, "Does she really not know what Red Hat Enterprise Linux is??"
I would guess her talking about Red Hat was edited out, because I don't see how she could not know about it in her field.

This is such an important video an deserves a round two, especially with Amanda. The fact that she actually stated that she believes in delivering convoluted information in an easily digestible way is reason enough to bring her back.
But please, do round two, even if it's not the most popular. As many people as possible need to receive this info. I am tired of coming across people my age (31) having no idea about this side of the internet, both offensively and defensively.
Same I have literally no knowledge of any of this stuff and I would definitely like to know more. I hope they keep this around
Seriously, many go blind to the new evils to field of IT jobs more common then many know to many need to be more cautious when opening emails to random shortened url links to even apps these days
Terms of malware, trojen, ransome ware & hacking, hacker to black/white hacker need to be laid out on what's what and broken down so all can understand them again, have more precaution when browsing the internet and new evil tactics being more and more common
I’m mostly just upset that she doesn’t get the concept of a grey hat hacker. grey hat isn’t “white hat but a criminal on the side” it’s “white hat but with questionable methods, like someone who hacks a website and defaces it so that they’ll update their security.

Or with access to google
No ones going to ask super specific esoteric questions, that isn’t what gets views.
Non hackers aren't going to know enough ask those questions, and hackers aren't going to answer those questions. Hackers seem to be a lot like magicians, if you can't figure it out, I don't think it's for you, and i'm not going to tell you.
Well, hate to break it to you, but: the „hacker questions“ as you call them, could also just be researched. thats exactly what IT people do, when they dont know sth…

@@Raviscerator Even if they aren't and were placed there by Wired with the intent to prove her legitimacy, it is unfortunately necessary for the GP to get it. But I do second your theory!

She has a legit thing for pink: twitter.com/malwareunicorn/status/1091493066639257600 And I find it odd that people have gone so far around the block that pink carries such an automatic fake association.
Also, I completely thought that, too, as a knee-jerk reaction.
In design the joke is "Shrink it and pink it" when it comes to lazy design for women.
Thanks for pointing out the problems of upgrading hospital systems. We recently had a 4.5 hour downtime for an upgrade, and it was messy. Prepare to wait longer in the ER. A massive transfusion of blood products will encounter significant delays, as all unit identifiers in the blood bank and on the floor will have to be manually entered, and all built-in system safeguards manually overwritten.
Hospital systems could have been upgraded it’s all about how they conduct their operational infrastructure. Rather than just have 1 system have 3 for redundancy so that you can run out of each one whilst the others get patched. This is simple logic of business continuity and disasters recovery.
You're whining about 4.5 downtime? Wait 'til you are incapable of doing something for weeks because some integral part of your system is being held ransom as it is still running on Windows XP
@@nettack I am not whining. And thank you for sharing.
@@thewilytroutesq5260 I apologize for my harshly chosen words. I read "If you update your system people will be put at risk in a hospital." When the contrary is far more true, since an update can be planned, tested and deployed in several waves.
Again, sorry for my interpretation and the uncalled reaction.
As stated most business continuity plans have backups and redundancies built it, off site cloud storage is a good example. I’m assuming because hospitals usually don’t have the best funding things on the security front aren’t put very high on the priority list.
her answer to the surreptiously triggered cameras was interrupted by an ad with a man in the shower
Its amazing how much personal information people put out on the internet. I've found ways to find where people live and more just by following them on some social media accounts.
Red Hat is a software company maybe thats what they were thinking of?
According to her twitter she responded to that but Wired cut it out of the video.

"A lot of malware is on windows"
*Sad windows noises while in the Blue Screen of Death*
Red Hat was a very popular Linux distro about 20 years ago. The project morphed into Fedora Linux. A Grey Hat can also be someone who illegally, but well intentioned, breaches a company or country's cybersecurity in order to highlight a flaw they're not taking seriously.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is around in the business world too.
Yeah, I thought it was sort of superfluous to mention in my original comment, but the Fedora team split due to disagreements with the Enterprise direction of the Red Hat project.
I've never heard of moonlighters being described as gray hats. I've always heard of them as bounty hunters.
"Hackers don't know everything about you. Facebook does" FTFY

Nice Q&A and humour! Very beautiful & entertaining! Beauty & wits!
For Red Hat hackers, it`s actually a term specific for CTFs(Capture the flag), a sort of hacking competition where one team has flags they must secure, and the other team has to hack their way to those flags. It`s used pretty often as training in infosec courses and usually feature in infosec conventions too. The Blue hats secure the flags, and the Red hats try to reach them.
That sounds more like red team and blue team than hats, red hat is a linux distro

The person asking about what a red-hat hacker is probably heard something about Red Hat Linux, now Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and didn't know that it was an operating system rather than a term for a hacker. I'm surprised the person answering the questions didn't mention anything about RHEL. I would have immediately thought of RHEL the second I read, "red hat."
Red Teaming is also a term (more in the physical security world) and I could easily see how someone unfamiliar with terms could see Black and White hat and assume that Red hat is the term and not red teaming
she's called "malwareunicorn" I doubt she's got any kind of expertise
I don't mean to place any doubt on her, but I never code, hack, or even use linux as a daily and even I thought of RHEL the second it was asked
"Red hat hacker" is a term, though not standardized; some use it to refer to hackers who target Linux and some to vigilantes who go after black hats. There are also "green hats" (newbies) and "blue hats" (revenge seekers (some go further and say blue hats are unskilled) or MS-affiliated white hats).

8:55 - Its a lot more complicated than that, when you do an upgrade, you do have to shutdown a system but if your such a serious operation like power plant or hospital you - usually - have failsafe's which are backup system that kick in and you do what's called a rolling update/upgrade which gives no downtime (This is actually much cheaper and easier to make than people realize). That isn't the only issue though, most companies use badly programmed internal systems that often will entirely break on even a small update, often the people who make these programs are external contractors who are either ever there or require an absurd sum of money to update them and often these easily breakable internal system could be in charge of critical systems that can never break. As a result, there is great fear and panic when doing an update or upgrade of it causing everything to crash.... it's running fine now... so lets never update. Things have gotten better but even now it's still a lot like this.
Or, ya know, they're Java based.
Good luck on upgrading your Java 6 to Java 8. You might be lucky if you get a halfway intelligible error.
But hey, at least it looks good and is portable! Right? Guis?
A lot of industrial systems are not redundant though, or require both primary and backup to be at the same version and configuration (they are meant to handle outages of a site). Also, many older industrial applications are certified to run on a specific hardware and software configuration, so you cannot upgrade, in come cases you can't even patch. Just a few years ago it would be commonplace to run across a Windows 98 or NT system in a hospital. It's cheaper to keep those systems running and put them behind firewalls and active security measures, than to pay a vendor to upgrade and re-certify their software. Why this is, you ask? Well, hardware vendors and integrators are famously bad at writing software, so their control software was often terrible, in all aspects, not just security, and even to the people buying such systems, the software side is rarely a consideration at all.
I have never once been in a cold server room. Those things are always roasting hot
I think that person referring to red hat was talking about the company red hat that they might have seen. Which is just open source Enterprise software solutions and other stuff like that.
"We're good to go, it's time to hack!" [furious typing] HAHAHAHA!
These questions are dumb. Thanks for this person responding in a professional manner
I actually learned alot..
@@codyleslie478 then you must not know much. Time for me to get off this vid and do something useful
@@Artaxerxes. oh aren't you sweet... you want to be friends??
@@nelsonalvarez5311 or likely the asker was confused. Red Hat is a linux distribution.
@@Artaxerxes. yikes
What a great start! Doesn't know what red hat is :D Answers were a bit boring, didn't leave with new info.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! Love everything about it - informative, professional, funny, interesting....
"Why don't hackers do anything useful, like leak" hospital internal charge books.
Fixed that for ya.
Hackers have exposed fraud in the past, but unless they are linked to a government, it is very risky to do so. There are numerous stories of the hackers charged far longer then the criminals they were exposing.
Red Hat, Think they are getting confused with RedHat Linux.
Or redteaming
Red Hat is when you wear all black with shades at night and do Kung Fu on top of skyscrapers.
Trust me on this, I've been around the block.
@@ladymercy5275 Then you travel back in time and fight the Kung Führer
@@necronau sick reference
@@necronau I understood that reference
The second question where it talks about a red hat hacker at 0:29 could be about Red Hat Enterprise Linux or RHEL which is a enterprise grade reliable Linux distribution.
Redhat is a linux distro, that's what Eric was thinking of. It's an operating system.
I think they got confused the term “red hat” with “red team”. Red team is the offensive arm of a cyber security group who mimics the actions of a hacker, the blue team is the defence (SOC).
they are getting confused with the linux distro
Red Hat, Inc. is an American multinational software company that provides open source software products to enterprises. Founded in 1993, Red Hat has its corporate headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina, with other offices worldwide. It became a subsidiary of IBM on July 9, 2019 Credits wiki
And I see red teams referenced a lot on the social engineering side of infosec
Some groups of, mostly ethical, computer enthusiasts are coining new terms, like "red or blue hat". For example, 2 accepted meanings for "red hat" are:
1) A Linux distro hacker or exploiter
2) A person who uses illegal techniques to only target & destroy black hats
Red Hat is also a paid linux distro (CentOS) mostly used for security and ethical hacking, so could have been that.

A ski mast will sort of protect you, when following a cable under a raised floor in a wire center or machine room.

You misunderstood what she said
(8:42) Another point why sometimes machines don't get upgraded: Medical equipment goes through a certification process. This is an expensive, lengthy process. Certification is needed to prove that the machine will do exactly as it is supposed to. if the computer that controls the device needs an OS update then after that update the device would need to be re-certified.
Love her.. i want more. It was informative and fun to watch
Hacker Level: Default Router Password
Steven 😂 those were the days, just connect to a neighbors open WiFi and try a the default password for linksys or netgear..
8:56 partly true. Some OS provide online update tools for kernel (ksplice, livepatch, etc). While some of the update still requires some downtime, it's reduced for online patching.
Wannacry targeted Windows and used EternalBlue for that. Windows always required reboot for security updates (and I think most other updates too).
This does show though their redundancy and disaster recovery infrastructure probably sucked. To be fair, most big companies have freeze periods where no changes to the environments are allowed... stupidly enough, for some, the freeze includes security updates.
Red-hat I think is referring to either the Linux distribution redhat or red team for offensive security pen testers
