Ethical hacking and subverting the internet | Thomas Webb (Tom London) | TEDxBerlinSalon 

RIP to the guy who tried scanning the code but had no connection @ 2:08

this guy was too sharp for the crowd...

We need you to teach at multiple highschools and colleges!! We need you!!

I love how at the end when he was talking about the "random number" again that turned out to be the date of the show, nobody was understanding what was happening 😂 This guy is too sharp for the crowd

As a Software Engineer who is passionate about the endless possibilities of technology, I think what you did was really cool and very creative. Technology is indeed magic.

Calculator and reverse date trick theories/explanations: A) (Unlikely) He was a plant with the "pokeball gets chosen" and he was good at "faking closed eyes" and making the last calculation quick in his head, to type the number needed in the addition for the exact number to come out in the end B) (More likely) If you look closely he gives the volunteer HIS phone, therefore the app used was most likely NOT the calculator app, but a simple "fake calculator app" which works normally as a calculator until you press + sign, after the + sign is pressed, no matter where you tap the screen, the 6 numbers needed for the correct addiction will pop up, to get your desired number for the show finish (the reverse date reveal) Edit: If you look at the helpers hands at 5:45, he was tapping with his right and left thumb alternately without doing any crazy cross-hand movments and got the number 800821, so the chance that he hit -8 (fair enough) -00 (while alternating hands) -8 (with the other hand this time) -21 (the 2 with the left and the 1 with the right hand while not doing big hand movments cross-screen) -while dodging all symbols on the calculator app. are pretty slim. Just think if a magician would REALLY let someone type random numbers on a TOUCH-SCREEN (no feeling of where anything is) and risk him accidentally pressing any other signs or the C button and blow the trick up? PS: Has the "I will reveal the trick just to show at the end that there was NO WAY I did it like this" routine become a trope at this point?

Great presentation. The audience don’t know what’s going on tho. Shame

Probably my favorite TED talk.

This is one of the underrated Ted talks I ever seen in my whole life!

We need more of the good guys in hacking 🙏❤💫

Way underappreciated. Amazing job man.

Absolutely epic, amazing talk Tom! 🚀

I didn't understand a single thing but the guy seems a coool techie

One of, if not the, best Ted talks I've seen. Absolutely brilliant 😄

Amazing video! I was blown away with all of the tricks and even more so when you explained the logic behind each of them. I look forward to hearing more of your lectures here on TedTaks.

2:08 that woman's phone showing the no internet dinosaur was the saddest thing i saw.

This is a really interesting and KNOWLEABLE video with very sharp mind person

If you have a partner you love and everything is not going as planned like you both started sometimes it’s a natural progression but if this person doesn’t want to communicate with you to share what they feel towards you or try to rekindle to love , I don’t advice anyone to abandon anyone they love but investigate where that is coming from sometimes it might be finances but if you don’t see any traces of that then resort to hacking their devices to know what is making your relationship move backwards most of the times there is a third party and the earlier you find out the best for you mental health stability because hacking has saved me from problems and intending others to come

Quality

dude is just wowing me. i cant even keep up. same as the crowd probably. he is NUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTS

1:18 best lines

Great talk.

really creative guy...beautiful i would say, great work and innovation

he killed it 😂 i really liked how smooth how he did it all

Such an interesting watch 👌👌

love it!

His sound was awesome

His sound is awesome

he just fools everyone except his assistant.

16:40 I remember morty's oh jeez

Fantastic!!!

The audience seems so dead tho, this guy deserved a roar form the crowd!

37*8=296*32=9472 now program the calculator in such a way that whatever the user enters (with the eye closed, so he/she don't know what they are typing) it must will equal to 810293- 9472(random calc)=800821, and hence u will always get this no. 810293

2:10 that person had no wifi

+Thomas Webb awsm bro I love you r trickx... And you're genuine and funny love u..

the ending was unbelievable

This guy is awesome!

Inspired 😍🤩

He is really talented

awesome, so clever!!

Awesome.👌🏽..*Congrats dude & all the very best ...Cheers-....LovE & PeacE ... . .

Incredible

I love this guys enthusiasm 😄

Now you see me guy on Ted talk 😱

He doesn't look like a hacker but he look like a Hip Hop artist

This guy is great

The numbers did actually sum/multiply up to 810293 which probably means that all 4 members chosen were in on it.

But 37 x 8 x 32 + 800821 actually *does* equal 810293. It's not the result of pulling a number from memory. Was the piece of paper printed out by a mini printer while he talked, just before he pulled the paper form his pocket...? What did I miss?

he looks like a watch dogs legion character

Very intresting

nice really enjoyed it.

Amazing

great person!

This guy didn't actually 'hack' anything, he changed the colour of a webpage, used AR and did a calculator maths trick.

so cool!

this is the real talent!

He gave his phone to the guy coming on stage. His phone could have a special calculator app that instead of calculating the addition, it calculates what specific numbers need to be added to make it 810... That's why the guy coming on stage had to have his eyes closed, and why Thomas was nervous, because Thomas would say the specific numbers instead of anything the other actually typed. He'd know if he uses calculator app a lot.

he has a deep voice wow

He has the same curious gaze and passion of a 10 year old every time he says "isn't that cool?" moral : appearances are deceptive.

I love this movie.

crowds just like; "u did wot now?"

I saw a street named Thomas Webb, I think it was in AL... and now here is a version of this name

13:45 Real Hackers don' need no steenkeen' API.

Hacker is dangerous, but he's a magician too !! Thats deadly cool!!

2:07 that poor person didn't have internet on their phone :( (Lonely sad Dinosaur)

Yooooo! This was so cool

His voice is lit🔥🔥🔥

Cool video... I was thinking breaking and entering not asking for permission hacking lol

Isn't this routine application development using services that are already available? What's it got to do with hacking or subverting the internet?

_This was like a real-life mini _*_Now You See Me_*_ episode._

That's dope

2:08 the dinasour

I live in Wyoming USA. Nice sweater.

Funny and smart. Nice.

Bhendi!!! Riteish Deshmukh

damn. i just dont get it

only clicked because of kanye sweater

Wow.

Eyes should have opened back up at 5:50 💀

my brain cant take this

Reversing the number and getting the date was not cool as he picked the number himself. But the amazing thing is how did everyone get the same answer?

Man he had us at 8008

Twist is he had 17 people Planted and wasn't looking at the app but tech is magic and we are moving to fast

surely the way he did it was PubNub a message saying: open calculator, type 810293, '+0x(C'

Worldwide Webb

i wanna see the code

plot twist: when everyone clicked on that notification on there phone they then go to a website and that site is collecting there bank data account

The last bit was a super troll.

how was 810293 stored in his pocket ??

you think a hacker would know apple is the worst phone out there

🙌🙌🙌

Well the calculator thing doesn't works

I still don't understand the 2nd thing he did, seeing it 2 times. I think he hacked the public, not the apps.

2:09 So sad that guy didn't have an internet connection.

We’re screwed if this guy ever gets mad

Is he using an iphone 12 in 2018

This isn't hacking...

👏👏👏

I do wish the mic didn't pick up every single spit sound.

He is too smart to be there
