It's easy to avoid getting hacked in public. Just look out for anyone wearing a hoodie while using his computer. He's obviously the bad guy.

[dhirandar]

You guys really don't know he give a overview of full year of a network enginner life in just 12 minute awesome

I love how he does a quick recap summary at the end of each video, it really helps solidify the concepts of the topics in a digestible way. Love ya Gary!

first step to be a hacker- wear a hoodie

[PrathamZ]

that's cheating.. hoody n shades gv him extra power.

Excellent, Gary. I’m new to hacking/pen- testing and this is a clear and informative video. Much appreciated.

[bid]

loved the spiel! main focus aside, I was particularly inspired, imaginatively, by the idea that when i'm walking in a wifi area i'm literally walking through packets of floating data :) wouldn't that make great material for a book or movie? (if it hasn't already)

[zipsnap]

Informed, I'm a bit disappointed he didn't actually hack inside the cafe like the thumbnail

[jibronigibironi]

This is great information, because I wasn't sure if I was still compromised on an unencrypted WI-FI connection even though the web site itself is encrypted.

[CallofDutywithBassam]

You're explanation was really GREAT and I hope if you show us how to do it in real.
Thank you!

I think gary was "lester" in gta V😂.
who agrees?

[Whatsthegeek]

For those searching, the tools you can use are airodump-ng and Wireshark. Both are included in Kali Linux (the operating system he is using in the video)

[garyspeed]

Excellent - just the right balance of tech information to a computer user concerned about security but not a would be hacker

[Luxcium]

I got Kali Linux and the dongle but noting is working do you suggest me to buy a white/gray/black or red hat or just a hoodie should be enough ?

[orwheels]

Tell me this guy doesn't remind you of Lester from GTA V.

[PushyPawn]

The stoner behind you blowing smoke rings has real talent.

[scodiofficer]

So guys, if I use a regular ELITE proxy the data packets could still be sniffed but when I use an SSL encrypted HTTPS proxy I can be protected?

VPN and TOR is still better but I just want to be sure.

[angelisone]

Can anyone help me.. I am looking a USB WIFI Adapter for Android, but none around.
Do they make one (preferred) with weather resistances?

Gary was one of the best additions to the AA team. I love his videos :)
