 Welcome to vlog Thursday number 300 and Yes, I'm in a hotel room because I'm at Gurkhan. Well, I'm actually not at Gurkhan. I'm back in a hotel room. Gurkhan is that way It's about 0.2 miles away Yeah, that's uh Hey, I see people here that are also at Gurkhan. So hey the at least someone in the chat I'm maybe I'm outing someone saying you're at Gurkhan. There's a few people in chat. So Um hopefully the audio is working well. I'm using my DJI audio device it I did testing it seemed to be functional I don't know I don't I assume because I see the bar is moving that it's working properly I don't really know but the cool thing is I can actually walk around Because the microphone is attached to me and it's wireless. Uh, so you can see my Fancy hotel room one of my puzzles though. I have a new laptop and this new laptop it uh It's got a kind of potato camera on it like I'm not really Impressed with the camera and it puzzles me because The camera is relatively small on my phone But the camera on the phone is damn amazing and the camera on my new laptop is potato So I don't completely understand that why we haven't achieved um Really high quality cameras and laptops not that I want a camera that takes like uh You know Incredible photos or something like that and I see you know someone else What laptop has a good camera? I don't know I looked around And realized yeah the only way to get a decent camera And I didn't feel like bringing my camera gear because the only thing I planned to record was this um, and I I was just like okay if I need to record something I use my phone Because I can bring my camera gear and do an input stream into hearing it gets a better video quality But I was like It isn't really worth it. I don't think there's me in a high definition isn't going to help any so Um screen is too thin for decent lens No, no no no if you see how small they make these the selfie cam So I'm just not talking about the zoom cameras, but the selfie cam on this phone Is definitely thin enough to fit in my laptop screen. Um, but yeah, nonetheless the laptop I get I don't know that I'll review it. Um, but I will speak to it Um at some point it's it's a uh the Dell inspirant. So it's not anything, you know exotic Um, I bought it because the OLED screen on it is just wonderful And uh, that was kind of a seller is the selling point of it was having a great OLED screen Um, I don't think about it though about how I want to discuss it because there's things I like and things I don't like but the things I don't like are less about this laptop except for one particular thing It's missing a stupid power indicator So you don't know if it's on or off like for sure because it doesn't have a power light anywhere on it I don't know why they omitted that That's just really strange to me. So Oh, well not ranting too much about that Um, I've been trying to start my vlogs out with where I'm at where I'm gonna be Where I'm gonna be is still gonna be it nation. I have some other events that I'll probably be signing up for soon that I'll be at uh, but the Where I'll be tomorrow is gurkon part two So, uh, I met a lot of people that knew me from youtube and it kind of surprised me I didn't think a security conference would have as many people that said would be like, hey, tom I like your videos and it turns out more people here than I expected So it was a great interactions Uh, as always you whenever I'm at these events and a bunch of people like I don't want to take up your time I'm like, no, I'm here to interact with people like I left I left the confines of my basement to go interact with people So I'm fine when people come up and talk to me Yeah, so Uh Yeah, Travis can confirm laptop has a really good screen on it. It is just yes Yeah, I wish Xavier was here. Um By the way Xavier feel free to message me. I have someone. I don't know if they they're quite got the budget for you yet Um, they want some application testing and I was like, I know the guy who will do it It's a it's a startup company getting some funding But um, they want to have someone test their app. So I'll just text me Xavier. So I don't forget so I can Make the connection, uh, there for app testing, uh, but nonetheless. Yes gher con definitely a dope a lot of fun Uh, great conference so far day one has been great. I didn't lose my voice yet, but peer pressure is trying to get me, um The uh My friends are trying to get me to go back out. It's rainy and cold out. I'm kind of like I don't know. I don't know if I'm going to go back out or not because I'm feel I feel fine Um, but I don't want to exhaust myself That's going to be day two day two because day there's no day three after day two. I'm like Let it rip and have fun. So Hey Tom no any good text looking for a job in the Cayman Islands. No I don't think so not that I'm aware of So nobody in the Cayman Islands who messaged me perfect All right I got Xavier already checks me. That's who's texting me Xavier's on it Actually, this isn't late for Xavier because he's in different time zone. I'm in eastern standard time Xavier's a couple time zones the other way uh Hey, I already see someone in the chat saying they'll go to the Cayman Islands for the right price So very cool. Um, but nonetheless Sun's still hot in california Sun is long gone here in michigan. I mean, it's nine. It's 9 30 at night That's why I'm doing this at night because I didn't really the the internet was not, um In the best shape to try to do it at all from the conference Plus the conference is kind of no easy and things like that and I really wish stream yard I got a test that again to see if they fixed it stream yard didn't work very well with my phone They've got some bugs working on phones Uh, so eventually I like to do this for my phone because that would be a lot easier But uh any cool talks today absolutely, um man the talk on how, uh The dmx protocol works and uh hacking lights on bridges I tell you in in terms of fun talks Absolutely a fun adventure talking on hacking. Um, that it was really great And it was given by I mean my friend Jason sliggles here And he's friends with some of the people that gave the talk and it was like he's he's like Time I know it's just about dmx lights, but you're gonna love the way the presentations put together and I did I love the presentation. It was wonderful. Um, there's another one How to rob a bank. Hopefully that doesn't get me demonetized. I mean that was that was the title of the talk And the talk was of course first thing he does is give credit to Jason street who infamously Or you know a red tamer great storyteller and also someone who robs banks for a living Legally of course, but also had robbed the wrong bank at one point in time. So, um, that's a great story By the way, that's the if you want to hear the story of when Jason street robbed the wrong bank. That's dark neck diaries episode. Uh, I think it's called the bank job so, but yeah, definitely, um It is definitely uh, great. Oh, yeah, I see other people talk commenting That's just that talk was a lot of fun too. That I really enjoyed that one Yeah, the uh, it's cool with the Christmas lights It's even it's even crazier to learn how many bridges and things are controlled with it. Um, and buildings and How no one secures Any of it. Yeah, nobody puts this stuff on proper security. It's just yeah It's it's rough Yeah, it's rough in terms of security. Um, it was just shenanigans all day of all the things they were able to find and you think it'd be harder to find Uh, these things in there were but it turns out you can find your target pretty well because It it's documented in the city meeting notes and the or uh, state Meeting notes for buying the bridge as part of their uh, prerequisite. So Yeah So it's just There's so much there. Also. I learned about some tools So there's always that when you learn about a different tool, um One of them was really simple that I didn't know about and let me see if I can pull this up I didn't know there was a site for doing this and let me see if I can share the screen because why not I'm sure this will present Share screen and uh, has anyone ever heard of bird hunt before And uh, it finds tweets So you can zoom into places and find a location And then find tweets about said location. So confirm location search for tweets And what it's doing is is giving you um certain geocode areas To find tweets went in and I'm like, this is just really clever how it works That's so you confirm the radius of what you want to search And uh, yeah, you can search for tweets in that area. It's just kind of novel Not one I'd heard heard about before so I think we can probably confirm to try it again confirm locations drag out for how many Kilometers you want to go around it Search for tweets. It's pulling up another window with the results in it But by the way What's interesting to me and I can actually bring this over to the other screen now Is what it's doing here. It's I didn't know you could just type geocode into twitter and it would work so It's kind of neat. So this is the I'll actually paste this into the stream This is the geocode. It's putting in And you can put that right into twitter. I just didn't know I know what I figured twitter track track these things but um, yeah, that's kind of unexpected that you can Just drop that into the twitter The geocode like that and then the last part the last comma is radius. So you start with the Longitude longitude and then you add in a number of kilometers You want and it will search for tweets within those crump with the in those kilometers. I mean, it's just it's really clever Um, are you wearing those iot devices possibly spying? Not really. I mean sure. I don't I don't really use them In my area. So i'm very conscious of them. I don't think they're The absolute risk. Um, but they're they're more than a zero risk. I can say that about them They don't keep me up. They're not what keeps me up at night when it comes to things on the internet. I'll say that so Sorry, I have a topic comment But it's one to pop in and say thanks for the work you do and sharing with everyone You see me making a few times when updating new mic charts. Awesome. Glad I could help It's all on topic Uh, I'm actually kind of full of french fries. I eat too many I eat too much fried food. So I'm kind of Burping it up a little sorry about that So I got my water sitting here Let's see Um, I didn't have a whole lot of topics because I wasn't sure how late I would run this vlog till Uh talking to people so I didn't really sit down and come up with much. Mostly it's just been wandering around gherkan and Just having a great time in general Enjoying it. Um Kind of a side note that I found interesting though So I switched it so my laptop and this dell inspron has the fingerprint reader. So I haven't set up The integration with linux is pretty nice for fingerprint reading You can just put your finger on there for sudo or you can put your finger on there to log in but Here's where the butt comes in This just happened and it took me longer. I took me an extra few minutes when When I wanted to set up the live stream, I'm like, oh, I'm gonna turn my laptop and log in and I'm like, oh cool I can and I just set this up before I left So I hadn't rebooted my computer since I turned on the fingerprint reader If you log in with the fingerprint reader without typing your password It doesn't unlock your key ring And if you don't unlock the key ring you goof up google and how it does its data store in chrome for all your log ins So even though you unlock the key ring once it starts up without the key ring It's broke and it breaks a bunch of stuff in google chrome For all your logins. So I had to spend time logging back in to google chrome Which is annoying because everything's two-factor so I had to go through all the security prompts and set up all my Essentially google chrome then I could go to log into stream yard So I could set up in my login to youtube and actually get a video started So good and bad about using a fingerprint is make sure if the computer is from an off state You at least tip your password once to unlock the key ring And then after it I can use my fingerprint to just unlock it whenever the screen is locked Also works for sudo. So instead of sudo and typing your password you can sudo touch the um fingerprint reader Either way you go Yeah, kc. We can't tell them slightly tired. Sorry for the yawning I am probably winding down for the night But do people have any questions for me? Because I'm not talking all night because I know I will run out of voice sooner than later Um, but the the gher con talks, you know, I can bring it up to er con Pull up the schedule and I'll throw an on screen here Because I am excited. There's um Throw it in here For the talks tomorrow Why isn't that doing it? Where's my zoom? settings view make sure it zooms in huh Didn't want to zoom don't know why don't care. I'm over it anyways, uh There we go That's weird. It does that you can't just control zoom. You actually have to pinch zoom on here Um for the compared that's just strange Um, anyways, let's look at what's for tomorrow tomorrow is friday And uh, I'm excited about this j street. It's going to be there talking. So that's definitely excited. Um Let's see why do we keep doing this stuff and how do we get better? I'm trying to figure out what all I'm going to go do there Where does mailware come from beyond simple ways I'm trying to figure out what talks I'm going to do tomorrow But I'm excited j streets here and if you don't know chris roberts, uh, he's pretty infamous too. He's going to be Uh, there as well. So that's going to be exciting at least two people I know that are good speakers that I'm excited about that. I've done it there. Um Ooh defeating perfect professional consumer security systems of 110 dollars the ransomware protection for the holes and uh wrap up in party time So I'll figure those out Huh Am I still running pop for the laptop? Yes, I am still running pop o s Hit the like button I can agree with that Question I'm looking for a basic os so they can sell on a workstation demo test before I auction it off for somebody something that can simply hardware and config I'll display a load a bunch of That's probably the easiest one most of your linux distributions are relatively easy um a bunch of I mean it works on most everything And uh, let me do something So we'll do this and I'm going to share Present share screen chrome tab Whoop window there we go So if you load uh a bunch to and type in and even install neofetch It'll dump all the uh details out on the screen like that So you can see I'm running pop os 2204 Um, it's in del inspiron 16 76 20 2 in 1 laptop uh What is this oh intel i7 With an angilia nvidia I'm tired nvidia g-force mx 550. So yeah, this is just neofetch. You see it up here App get installed neofetch and it'll display all the hardware These are relatively heavy laptop But you know gets the job done actually it looks way cooler when I don't have that on the screen right and I just spin There we go You know the room is actually kind of fancy here to the uh I'm up on I got a nice view of everything down here. I didn't I don't know my wife booked it It's uh way fancier for room than I expected it to be I didn't expect to have like a fancier room I was like You know, I figured it would just be like an average normal room and it's like a corner room with windows all the way I'm on the corner overlooking like the downtown area and I got wraparound windows And a cool button you press the button and all the shades come down if I want privacy. So Uh, I gotta answer that question better for you. I see someone's asking I need to make new ones because there's changes I want to make but I haven't made them I just keep saying we're gonna do it uh There's all of my dot files are there like all the configs I have for things are on github I need to update them. They haven't changed in a while. Um, I'm like I should redo my prompt because it seems like something to do and it's a nerd thing to do Because I feel like you can't just leave it the same for a long time. So I need to change it up. But I uh I haven't so those dot files are from a few years ago and they're current because This laptop is I those are the same dot files that are around this laptop when I set it up. So Yeah Grand Rapids is a cool city for sure Actually, so I don't have to spin around here. We'll just contrast the difference here We'll share another tab. Let me stop this one stop Present share screen chrome tab There's a picture of my room with the uh With my camera phone because this phone the the camera on this laptop is potato. So Yeah, it's night and day difference between the two of them and then uh Maybe another picture of it Oh, there we go And that's what the room looks like. So It looks like that when tom first got there now, uh The bed is no longer made and I don't make the bed. That's that's something I I don't like doing so Have I used the plug-in seek with elastic search before no, I haven't really spent much time with it I want to learn zeke because it's pretty cool, but um, it's it's been on my to-do list for a while And I don't use elastic search. So I mean I use gray log which uses elastic in the back end But I'm not I'm not usually using it gray log has been one of my go-to tools I've also used elastic in a security onion Because I like the way it's implemented in there, but I don't I don't regularly. I mean I'm not in security. I mean very often I mean gray log a lot more often So I've used them in there in that context, but not in the context of like setting up an elastic server directly. So Another one we use in elastic, um, I don't think it's a bad product or anything like that It's just one. I don't really use it's kind of like I'll use it eventually, but that's not right now I do have a question and maybe people will have an answer to And tell me if this is a new code that I don't know about Why is this exit now? There's one above too and also down the hallway here. So why are the exit signs? On the floor like There's an exit sign Also, there's the exit sign down there too And one's on the floor one's up here. Is that a new code thing? I mean I'm I was puzzled. I don't recall seeing this at any other hotel Are the exit signs always like this is I am confused as anyone knows I'm just curious Because this is strange at this point. I'm like, okay, there's an exit sign on the ground I'm like, why is that I imagine? I mean, there's a logical thing that if there's fire Um, you would need to see you know, I took a picture of the doors So they're down there Yeah, and I I agree. This is the reason I'm assuming this like I'm assuming visibility for smoke that makes complete sense to me But I've never seen it before until now like this is Like I don't know and I've seen we've done new buildings and I've not seen them required this. So Yeah, new code. I I mean the buildings we've done for clients I've never I have not seen any of them and some of our state state buildings were in And I've not seen a single exit sign placed down like that. So, um, I thought I mean It makes sense from the smoke goes up thing, you know heat smoke up See on ground be able to crawl your way out. Awesome. I'm like, I think I get the premise I've just never seen it done before. So Maybe only required in hotels, maybe You know what I never stay in hotels in michigan. That's pretty rare I don't try I mean I don't go many places in michigan where I would be at a hotel So maybe it's a michigan thing because I've been to the hotels in florida and places like that I don't remember seeing it. So it was just one of those things I haven't seen it before. So I thought I would share it with all of you Like, did you know there's this? um I don't think I have much else about gherkan Other than I want to do this tomorrow These are pretty cool. I didn't take too many pictures of them, but Uh, these are gaming pods That it's a battle. It's a multiplayer battle game and it's pretty cool And you climb in these crazy pod things. So I want to do that. That's um, that's not tomorrow's list of things tom wants to get done That's about it. I am Probably gonna go lay on the bed there and watch youtube so um Matter of fact, you know, I wonder if I have an htmi cable so I can hook my laptop up to the tv If not my laptop's going over there to watch youtube And uh, chill out. Well, there's actually there's a couch behind me too Because there's a couch in the little end table. I could put my laptop on there It's a big screen, but it's not big enough to watch all the way across the room um, I don't know. I haven't really I haven't seen how much of a problem it will be for uh v3 and Ublock I don't know Like I know a lot of people make a lot of noise about it But I'm not talk I like to separate through the noise of people being angry about something And make sure I figure out the actionable items Of what needs what can and can't be done. So I don't know and I don't have enough information to Truly understand what will have to be changed and what they will or will not be able to do with v3 manifest. So When people are making a bunch of noise about something sometimes I'm like I mean, is it a really your problem or is everyone angry or is it just an excuse to make some memes? Sometimes it feels like it's just an excuse to you know, make memes For proximity exercise require the bottom of the sign of your mouth at lesson 604 and no more than 18 above the four code. Okay So terry's going to do the pod things tomorrow too. All right Yeah, it's a group game. It looks fun. I mean who doesn't want to get in a pod and blow things up Uh, nope. I never have I run into the zentinal servers kind of Um, I fixed one for someone who a bunch of things broke when they upgraded it um It was some permission problems I fixed and there was There's been a couple people And they were just trying to I think it was a zentinal server trying to avoid buying support And every time they upgraded it they had to roll it back because it broke um But outside of that. No, I I I've not used it. So I don't really have much to say about it Um, the two people contact me. I don't know what condition led them to a machine that hitting upgrade breaks it But I don't they inherited it. So they didn't really have background information on how it got there. Also, they were Uh Like not linux people at all. So they just weren't sure how any of it worked Um, the person I fixed the upgrade for the upgrade just had all the permissions goofed up And I don't know if it was the upgrade or someone goofed with it. So Yeah Where we drinking now I will have a drink in the hotel lobby, but I don't it's rainy and crappy out jason I'm not sure I want to go out again. I'm sure you can find an area can go drink with him, but I'm I'll pass out if I drink too much. Uh, I'm just tired. So The the hotel lobby here, so I don't know that you want to walk all the way over here. Not that it's very far But it's raining and wet and garbage out right now I'm saving up for my drinking tomorrow Because I don't it's saturday. I got nothing going on. So if I stay out late saturday or friday night, whatever We don't have to check out till 11 on saturday. So Dude, I am tired a little bit brat. There's no doubt See jason's jason's got the peer pressure. Come on. Let's go out I gotta admit these, uh Dji mics like sound really good. I can be anywhere else in the room and wander around I could like sit all the way over here and My voice shouldn't change any I hope because it's just You know, uh, I forget the distance on these but it's it's pretty far So I I got them and I haven't really had time to do this But I want to make a bunch of different videos where I'm doing a few things. That's why I got these microphones for that. So Brett be there in three hours Uh, sorry, Brett. There's only one bed. So you have to figure out the hotel thing. I'm not I'm not sharing Uh, oh we need to finish the bottle of bourbon. Oh, you're heading home tomorrow You're not you're not going to stay in party Yeah, it's a little further for jason to drive back. It's only like it's a little under I mean, I got here in less than three hours. I was I was traveling at a rather high rate of speed Um, so I made it I made it here relatively quick Uh, ah, yes at some point At some point the wife is probably like some assistance with all the children. So Uh Yes Oh, yeah, that's not bad 315 That's not too far Yeah, you're going to because you're coming down 23 back to Toledo Well, I will help you with the bourbon tomorrow So you don't have to take that bourbon home or you can just hand it over to me. I'll I'll make sure it finds a good home We can definitely figure out how to bourbon The microphones, this is just the The d dji wireless mics. There are only ones dji makes it a wireless. So Uh It is just the dji Gji mic wireless microphone system for smartphones cameras laptops portable. It's like 329 Um, they're really nice though. I like them quite a bit All right Well, I'm gonna end this here because I'm gonna chill out and watch youtube and I'll probably fall asleep because I'm tired. I don't know what happened to one of my employees. I'm positive He's still at the bar down the street. So for anyone that's around in the area saying hi to One of my staff that's a gherkin. He's hanging out with some of the gherkin people I told him to just have at it. He's uh, he's a younger man than me So and he's probably not like me and doesn't wake up at 5 a.m. You know, because that's I'm wired that way. That's I don't know how not to wake up at fire on I'm pretty sure he's still at z's. That's where I left him last So I'm gonna assume he's still there. He's got my number if he needs something I mean if I have to rescue or get an uber for my will Yeah, don't lose an eric Yes, we don't want to lose an eric. So Eric knows his way around he's a smart guy. He's got his own pass to get in and out of gherkin The badges are rubber by the way. They're kind of cool. I like them It's definitely this is different. I don't have a rubber badge. You know, I'm really disappointed as I I can't find my rubicon badge For those you don't know rubicon it was probably one of the first bigger hacking Conferences I went to and they were printed circuit board badges. Um, and this was all the way back in 2002 or 2001 so it's been a minute and uh Yeah He's got his own room. So I can't necessarily wake him up at 5 a.m I mean I may call his phone, but I don't think he's gonna answer it. So But I tried to collect all the badges from all the places I've been over the years I've I've only lost a couple of them and one of them that I just don't know where it went is my rubicon badge. Um, I thought I had it when I moved One more house ago and it seems like it went missing at my last move to my current house But it was at my office for a long time. So I don't know where how when I moved from my office to my new house Um, where I built my new studio it went missing. So I don't know So, uh, my friend Jason slagle is a badge stealer for events He will register other people's badges. Um, and specifically the badge he gets is Jason McGee's If you haven't heard that name before he's a CEO of connectwise and Jason will always find himself with his badge It is it is a fun conference joke Yes, we're all going to be on Orlando and uh, that's going to be the it nation connect event. So I look forward to seeing At least some of you undoubtedly will be there. Um, and Jason slagle will be wearing Jason McGee's badge We hope that's the goal at least that's Jason's goal and Jason McGee's goal is for Jason slagle not to do that Which it won't happen Jason's going to get the badge I I'd bet on that. I'm not going to bet against that idea And I will be greatly amused by it But thank you everyone for joining say hi to me on twitter say hi to me at gurkon if you're here Uh terry I will see you tomorrow at gurkon. Maybe we'll go Jump in with those pods, but feel free. I'm there to chat and talk and have fun Interacting with everyone I see there. I've had some I my voice is a little hoarse because I spent hours talking to people in great conversation It's just been a lot of fun. You know Just actually it was I actually spent a lot of time today talking with some of the vendors Shout out to the people at blue mirror. They're really cool. They make a really awesome. Uh, sim tool blum i r a just google that you'll find it Tell them tom said hi if you sign up for their product Tell them they should you you know what I have an idea I will do a video about their product. Maybe or if you want to contact lumera Tell them. Hey, I'd use your product if you had pf sense on there because if enough people ask them to do pf sense Integration with it. They will So maybe that's maybe that's my side in with them is how many people will bug them about it For product awareness. So all right. I'm gonna play with that idea a little bit Oh one last idea so I please leave some comments on this if you're if you made it this far because it'll probably be for a lot of people who watch Just later if you made it to the end here I have an idea that I don't know what I want to do yet In terms of how I want to execute be what I want to do is for everyone. It meets me in person I want to be able to hand you some trinket I don't know if it's a coin or something stupid. Maybe a little 3d printed thing with my logo on it I don't know, but I want to have them at the ready. So when people meet me Um, I can just hand it to him as a novelty thing And I don't want it to be stupid, but maybe like saying my name on it Um, but it's something like that like hey, I met tom like I don't know Just one of those things for people who met me in person be like hey, he gave me this thing Uh, so It might be kind of a novel thing to do Uh, I have oh, I have a thing. Let's talk to my perfect. Yeah, I want a bunch of these Oh Jason's got the price 80 cents a piece perfect because I'd like to keep a bunch of my bag That way I can just like hand them like when people meet me. It's always kind of awkward You're like, you know, I'm like this. I'm a I'm a fan of people I see on youtube So what do I say to them when I see them? I'll go and hey, I love your youtube stuff I mean and people say the same thing to me like hey, I like you from youtube And I think that's cool, but it's an awkward thing, but I'd be like here's the thing Here to say here's the thing for meeting me and that way it'll be like a novelty gift of some sort So I like that and we felt because my phone just went off again I know someone has an idea. So all right. That's the final thought. Thank you everyone who joined Uh, Jason, I'll see you in the morning because I don't think I'm leaving the hotel If you're bored and want to come to the hotel, I'll have a drink, but I'm not I'm comfortable here So I'm gonna stay here All right later everyone and see all the gherkin people tomorrow and everyone else I'll see I gotta figure out. I'll be doing vlog Thursday Somewhere different next week as well because I have more traveling to do so that'll also fall on a travel day I got a lot of traveling coming up. So but hey, it's always fun interacting with people feel free to say hi later Oh and good night probably because I'm I'm gonna be realistic. I'm not staying up much later
