@@tankerkiller125 security pins jammed. gotta start again
The reason phones are hard is because the microphone inside is not directly behind the microphone hole, it’s to the side. This is because they also have sim trays that are designed to open when a small pin is stuck into the hole, so if a user tries to stick the sim tool into the wrong whole,
They won’t break the mic.
Haha I am just so relieved!!!! I do that all the time on my new Phone as it's the exact position as my sim card holder on my old phone! (When traveling a lot and being tired I just can't get used to my new phone)
Wow. Thanks Jessica for the info
It was like that on my 2006 sony ericson. I think it is not specifically because of the tray but because of pins in general
@@housemusik123 You might break the water resistant membrane inside though. I've checked the teardown photos, there is a goretex like membrane inside, which may be only for blocking dust or actually a waterproof layer to prevent water getting into the mic.
Also sounds like an easy way to solve the laser issue... stop having MEMS directly exposed to the outside. It doesn't even sound like a very good longevity practice honestly.

Being poor/broke has never made me feel so safe.
Not having/using a digital assistant isn't a sign of broke
Daniel K. Yea. Not having /using an assistant by CHOICE isn’t a sign of being broke BUT
Not having/using one besucase you can’t afford the price of the devices IS.
Daniel K. It is, at least from a purely statistical perspective. There are many reasons to not have a home assistant, but not affording one is a very common and good reason.
Bayes' theorem says that P(Poor | No home assistant) = P(No home assistant | Poor)*P(Poor)/P(No home assistant).
A very poor person is less likely to buy a home assistant than the average person, so in to the equation above, P(NHA | Poor)/P(NHA) is larger than one and the probability of being poor given the lack of a home assistant P(Poor|NHA) is larger than the prior probability P(Poor).
If we look up how many people have a smart assistant and how many people are poor, we can get some more concrete and accurate numbers. Depending on where we draw the limit of being poor, we can probably guess that the number P(No home assistant | Poor) is very close to one without needing to look it up, since they can’t afford it. (Especially not with a bunch of smart home stuff connected to it.)
asdfghyter interesting. Thank you for educating me a bit.
Wait until your landlord decides to install smart locks/thermostats/whatever themselves! That's what ours did this month. We didn't have to allow them, but we like our apartment and would like to stay, and I suspect our rent would increase dramatically if we had said no. Thankfully we don't have anything like a google home or alexa that could be affected by this exploit, and the locks they got are actually pretty solid, better than what they had before I think.
I love that you’re doing the process of journalism like most people think journalism is just newspapers and stuff but at its basics it’s the process of seeing a thing, verifying it’s truth, and alerting the public to the thing. Newspapers just happen to be the most common platform for that process, but that’s changing, and this is cool.
Newspapers and other legacy media stopped being concerned about facts and truth decades ago. No one should lament their demise.
That's also known as the scientific method
The Chopping Block it’s in some part our own fault too. We’ve stopped buying newspapers, cable tv, and subscriptions to news outlets leaving the news media with very few options to pay the bills.
The Chopping Block who is? Newspapers and legacy media ≠ journalism. Journalism is a process, they’re just a platform that was traditionally used by journalists. The whole industry is on the edge of making big changes to the platforms and models we use, and it’s really interesting to watch and be a part of it.
Felipe Trindade ya, in many ways they’re the same, but the verification process is different and once you get more into the details they stop seeming similar, but in my classes (I’m a journalism PR major) the first analogy for the journalistic process was to the scientific method. But also a lot of people don’t know that, so they don’t hold their news to the same standards that they do their science. Personally I want to work in science news, so this video makes me really excited.
Destin is literally one of the most honest people in the world. Amazon and Google home security will probably never sponsor any of his future videos now (and he probably knew that). It is inspiring how dedicated Destin is to education. He is not afraid to stick to his convictions even if it could possibly prevent him from making money.
While you may be right, many companies actually appreciate people bringing attention to security flaws on their products. Some companies may even compensate someone who finds a security flaw.

I mean, nothing beats throwing a brick through the window or just bolt cutting the lock off. If someone wants to get into your house, they've always had it easier than learning tons of electrical engineering, laser physics and security research, buying a laser, telescope and gadgets, understanding the knowledge of your home systems and your passcodes and then spending hours meticulously setting up outside your house. I also imagine, in order to encode the message in the laser, you need a really steady set up because any perturbations in the laser would add a lot of noise to the message.
That is until one person writes an app for it so all theives can exploit it for a small fee. Not to be alarmist, but this has happened.
@@tyllisxu5774 A bandaid solution atm would be having "allowed hours" to use voice commands to avoid unauthorized abuse at night or whenever.
Lol, you don't need laser physics, and it only takes one person to release a laser audio encoder for this to become a very simple project. But I agree, there are simpler ways to get into houses.
Destin: tries to active my smart home assistant to activate
Me: * laughs in headphones *
You can bounce lasers off windows and record the voices of the occupants issuing various commands. Later, when they are not at home (or asleep) you can pump a playback through a speaker pressed against a nearby window or in the mail slot or some such. I suppose you could even get acoustic access through the stove vent. With enough records of the occupants you could piece together a string of commands to make specific purchases prior to burglarizing their house.
Thanks for explaining this.
Interesting, similar issues with analog locks. Picks and bump keys can open 99% of residential door locks in literal seconds, still more you can blow out the jamb with a strong kick or a sledge. Most people don’t have reinforced jambs or bump resistant locks. Home security is basically being a little harder to break in than the next guy. Honestly a dog is probably the best deterrent for the opportunistic thief

Just to be clear, this is one of my favorite channels. It hits the sweet spot of providing valuable information that you don’t need *a ton* of background to understand, while also not simplifying to the point of being misleading.

Please do a video with the lock picking lawyer and this guy; vulnerability testing is huge. Like you said not to bash companies for their product but to inform the consumer so they have an idea in mind what short falls an installed system may have. To be honest with the pin code it should be well within possibility to enable Alpha numeric and symbol pass codes; as well as setting a "2 factor" authentication; especially for any entry point. If it were possible to set any of the assistants to silent no one would even know what you were doing. There was a similar vulnerability with IR readers a while back with laptops; which also brings up IR problems with networked televisions. I would really love to see more on this subject.
LPL is good at *picking* mechanical locks, not this type of thing. Hence the "P" in LPL.
@@xenonram true however he has shown some interesting ways into by passing electric locks
Andrew Delashaw how can a lock not be mechanical?
Well... A magnetic lock with an electronic control panel wouldn't necessarily need any moving parts... That said, I suspect Andrew is talking about a mechanical interface with the user instead of an electronic one.
yup and LPL covers using magnets in a few videos for by passing electric locks. If it secures a door or chain hes covered it or some variation.
I'm kind of disappointed for not getting to hear how the laser sounds to the devices. It feels to me that that is the number one technical point of this video (i.e. is there a lot of distortion or other effects to the signal, and what limitations there might be).
Kipkay has an old Video where he uses a cheap laser pointer to shoot "sound" at a freaking solar panel (which is attached to an apmlifier).
It's not the same tech (solar panels vs. these tiny mics) but perhaps that gives you an idea of what it might sound like.
@@borstenpinsel That is cool, but then again, unlike microphones, solar panels are designed to turn light into electrical charge. Passing through a signal is just a side-effect.
Everyone keeps saying this, they actually did listen to it back one time.
Go back to the part with the lightbulb, and he wonders why it went blue and he listens to the message back. It just sounds like his voice, although slightly distorted.
I guess everyone missed that lol
@@DanteYewToob That's what was sent, though. I'm more interested in what was received.
Would have been nice. I liked the PhD students hypothesis though. Thermal expansion or photoelectric effect maybe
This video came on midnight on auto play while I am sleeping I woke up by my google home speaker asking :which time I should set reminder
Destin, you have the absolute best channel on UA-cam.. I really wish you had your own TV show

hahahahahhahahahahahhhhahahhahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah I went overboard, but that was funny!!!
That would be my mom knowing her.
In terms of how light can trigger the mic, this sounds like basically how photoacoustic spectroscopy works. When you rapidly vary a beam of light hitting something, it induces momentary localized heating which produces sound waves as the material relaxes. With photoacoustic spectroscopy, you have it be a constant blinking basically by repeatedly interupting the beam, and then you listen for how the test object releases sounds in response and it can tell you all sorts of stuff about the material being tested. With this it's the opposite. You inducing the heating to produce a specific sound. That's my bet anyway. Cool and terrifying video! Not that I needed a better excuse to never get smart home stuff, but this certainly is added to the pile.
@Agent К_видео As shown in the video, one of the devices had trouble or couldn't be activated this way specifically because the microphone was covered by... fabric!
I think it might be more simple than that. I'll explain but keep in mind, others will be reading this too so it might be a little too simplistic. It's not meant to be condescending to you.
Sound is basically pressure waves moving through the air. It hits a barrier that absorbs or reacts to the waves and oscillates. If you place a magnet and a coil of wire just right those vibrations will create a small voltage that changes as the magnet moves in and out of the wire coil. That is the simplest basic form of a microphone. If you energize the wire instead with a signal, you can reverse the process and create a speaker.
So we are in its rawest form here dealing with electro magnetism on the side that the processing circuit uses to generate a signal the circuitcan understand. At this point we go from pressure to something a circuit can process. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves. Lasers are the same but in a specific frequency in a higher spectrum and with much more intense or focused power. So modulating a laser could simply be using the pressure to signal portions of the microphone to induce the modulation that would naturally be there when converting sound waves to a signal the circuit can process. We don't actually have to move the pressure or sound wave portion of the sensor, we just need to get a signal to the other side that feeds into the circuit.
Think of it as acting like a radio antenna at this point. Using the electromagnetic properties of light waves to induce a current on a circuit design to detect small changes in voltage and current. A weak signal would be just as valid as a strong one as long as it is modulated correctly so you can yell at the device from far away and have it still be useful.
@@PabloEdvardo Better yet, you could use "acoustically transparent" projector screen fabrics, which completely block the light, yet have a negligible impact on sound.
@Agent К_видео No.. some of the devices have been activated when the laser was focused on the housing - close, but not right on the microphone. I assume it's making the housing vibrate. Best defense is turn them off when you aren't using them - especially when you're sleeping or not home. Second best: Blinds.
The Thought Emporium How does it do this through the can?
Thanks for your videos. I have recently followed your channel and am really interested in all of your videos. Your videos are amazing, you explained me the complicated concepts in very simple ways to understand. This one opens my mind to know that the light can influence the microphone. It is a crazy thing.

Love how your videos have come on over the years..... Awesome
That’s cool you got it to work! What’s neat is if you want to try this at home, just get a normal laser and shine it at your phone microphone while taking a video and then spin a fan in front of the laser and you will hear the pulsing on the phone video with the exact frequency as the fan!
You have already done a video about this. Love your channel
Hi
I loved that video.
Just saw that you made a video about this around the same time we were shopping. Loved the fan experiment! Genius!

There is a function on Google and Alexa where you can listen to what you have said. Did you check what actually was picked up?
Yeah please check

It should sound like the recording that they used.
You can see it register as the light hits it. It's registering as if it were the exact speech
Yes that would be so interesting!
It's one of the most fascinating videos I've seen!
Thanks, guys!
Mind Blowing , Thanks
I just ordered a device that allows you to modulate a laser beam with a radio, then use that laser to project the signal to a speaker. I bought it as a demo for high school science, but I realized when I was watching that I could simply hook up a microphone to the laser and do exactly what you were doing to control these devices.
And a blank hat is born. Choose your own adventure 2020.
What’s wrong with a prybar?
glenisterm don’t be a baddy Glen...
@@smartereveryday I wasn't planning on using it as such. As I stated I bought it as a demo to show how modulated laser light could allow a speaker to play the music from a radio, with no physical connection between them. I just realized that I could probably substitute a microphone for the radio, which also could be used in place of your computer.
If you are curious, after the kit arrives I can test that idea on Siri. However I won't be using that particular demo in class.
@@glenisterm Don't worry haha. He was just joking when he said don't be a baddy

Still not an impossible challenge if you can manipulate the waveform transmitted with high enough precision. Spoofing of both visuals (deepfakes are getting better, to a point where it's starting to get eerie), audio and other data is becoming a lot more sophisticated.
2-factor authorization and other hurdles are an important step - but then again, wouldn't it be more convenient, and equally secure, to get a "dumb" system?
This is where a laser microphone is used to record you in the building giving commands. Tidy those waveforms and use those through the laser system, and not having your voice is no longer a problem.

wow this is like telephone phreaking, just in the 21st century
And inherently bad.
I've been subscribed with you forever.... I love watching all of your vlog tests... sometimes you make my head hurt...lol.. But most of the time your tests bring some type of exuberance of learning I've not had since my youth.
Thank You for constantly testing and probing our understanding of the Universe and asking the Questions that which brings Us All to a higher plane of Human Sciences.
The comedy here is GOLD!
Hey Google: "I'm sorry, I don't understand"
Destin: *chuckles* "You will"
3:42 *chuckles maniacally* "you will..."
"Chuckles maniacally"
Destin: Heh
I love how Destin calls his videos “internet”.
Destin probably loves how you call him Dustin.😉
Lift Pizzas I am forever disgraced :(
He sounds like my uncle. “The internets”
Great video!
whenever he said hey google my google home started talking like crazy
nice spyware
I’m not even worried about it.
My Alexa was convinced by it too
You should key commands to your own voice at the very least. Google Home can do that.
Alexa started up saying she didnt understand here.
Suggested title: "How to heat a house to 70 degrees using laser"
Nice introducing, to make all of my devices work
Hi I have notifications on.. but I haven't been receiving stuff from your channel. Guess there is not enough gossiping or fake news on your channel. Love your work.
THANK ❤ YOU
Easy fix for manufacturers is to just angle the microphone.
That won't fix people just yelling into your house while you're not home.
I specifically don't own any products with microphones or assistants for this reason. Aside from my cellphone but the voice assistant is disabled on it.
@@Koffent No need for such extremes... My assistant can't open or buy anything nor destroy the house. It can just turn on the lights, tv, speaker. I can also turn on the kettle and washing machine but only when they are turned ON.
So it wouldn't be dramatic even if someone screamed through my door.
@@IronFreee I actually misspoke there. I had a few separate thoughts and didn't type out the full thought. Apologies.
I meant angling the microphone would prevent lasers from carrying carrying commands to the mics. However even with angled mics that wouldn't prevent someone from yelling commands through the windows. Which if you did have locks that could be controlled remotely would be quite a problem.
My second thought was I don't use anything that uses voice commands because of this kind of vulnerability. I also don't own anything with mics on it (aside from my cellphone) because I am aware that they can be remotely activated and anyone could listen in anytime they please. Not that I'm concerned with any conversations I have in my home but it could be used to track when the home is empty.
Peoples houses get burglarized pretty often around where I live (NYC) and I have no intentions on making it any easier to know when my home is empty or when my wife's alone. There's also been several home invasions within recent months near me, so these are legitimate concerns. I'm not a conspiracy nut or extremely paranoid, just in case you were wondering.
So as you can see I had a string of thoughts that the original comment triggered and I'm a bit tired so I didn't convey what I meant properly.
@@Koffent I agree with you on being careful. Those "smart" objects will evolve with time and experiences but I don't think they will ever be 100% secure. When I lost my keys I saw how easy it si to open my door with the right tools.
The thing is to get them at least as secure as the current ones and not to have unreachable expectations (not saying you have those expectations :)
@David We are talking about screaming commands through the door to Alexa or Google home.
You'll look less stupid if you read the comments before spreading your verbal diarrhea...
*_The advancement of technology is SUPER exciting!_* But it also means the ability to use tech for bad things also becomes more effiecient..
Great content! I know you can transmit images through ham radios.
este video es realmente increíble y fascinante, con este canal uno si adquiere mas conocimiento con cada video y es mas inteligente cada día
Imagine waking up to this sound at 2am.... 13:59
Dude 😂
Wake up, walk over to grab the shotgun, and wait on the other side of the door until you hear movement in the garage.
"Alexa, okay Google, Hey siri"
"What I just did probably worked for a small percentage of you"
Me: *laughs in broke*
You could get an alexa echo dot for like 20$. Not too bad.
Laughs in cheap headphones.
Cries in broke.
Yep mine answered him
*laughs in earphones*
Same
Love this channel. My AP Physics students use it all the time.
It shows that sticking with the old is much better.
0:15 - the irony of this is that my phones "OK Google" randomly shows up mid youtube video and searches some absurd things it thought it heard, my favorite so far was 'rocket turtle'
Adam Khan you might want to get that checked out.
