Thank you for having us David, this was a great discussion and we really enjoyed coming on the show!

I love David questions to all his guests because even though it's obvious he already knows the answers, he makes them anyway for the average viewer, who probably won't. This makes his videos extremely friendly and didactic.

Some clarifications here as what is said @19:36 for WiFi 6 is not true: WiFi 6 operates on 2.4GHz and 5Ghz but NOT at 6GHz (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_6). This is WiFi 6E that adds the 6GHz band and WiFi 7 is able to use the 3 bands together to even higher throughput.

Great video! Thanks! One thing about bands sometimes is not considered is long range and wall penetration. All the great things of 5 & 6 GHz can become meaningless if you can't connect to them. Extending that bands could be expensive for a home user depending on the situation. But 2.4 can reach when other bands can't (in a home scenario). So, I think is still relevant for reach and "wall penetration". It depends of the construction methods used on the country, but many countries have "solid walls" construction methods that prevent WiFi to reach, and you need to extend the WiFi network, except in many cases 2.4, that can reach anyway.

Really enjoy these in depth topics! Thank you

For home, one could run an isolated subnet for legacy devices, while bolting in newer tech

Based on your videos, I’d say don’t use WiFi until WPA4 is released, and when law enforcement actually enforces cybercrime laws.

Happy to hear more from them

Really good, technical conversation.

It's such a new thing for me.. Perfectoo keep it up bro :)

Speaking as someone in the process of upgrading his home network, I really appreciate this video!

Quite easy to follow even at ccna level. Great video!

WPA2 pre-shared key is not secure. The hackers found the long encryption key so fast, like they intercepted the handshake.

Thank you sir for this informative video.

I use WPA2 for my wifi because some of our devices that connect to it may not support WPA3 as you mentioned.

Hey David great work..i had a question regarding an OS..

Great talk but I'm a little disappointed you didn't ask how to prevent downgrade attacks. Right now all I got is network segmentation and trying to force WPA 3 on a separate network.

I love how you asked him if we should be ripping out our 6E routers from our homes 😂

You did dirty to the OGs WRT. That's some good router there if you use openwrt, after all these years relative good performance or good as an AP.

Perfect timing as I'm overhauling my wired and wireless network at home. Just got my ubiquiti wifi7 AP's in, even though nothing I have currently uses that (yet). This is gonna be a treat

Let me say David you are a great mentor for me and this question is for my own learning purposes so any guidance you could give is appreciated. Have all the vulnerabilities been patched in WPA3, I thought the Dragonsblood vulnerability needed the complete rework of the protocol? And it wasn't just one there were multiples. Did they all get solved? The WiFi Alliance was a ........slow to comment about the issues.

I love the way you ask questions endusers are willing to know about.

Great job David! This is my go to podcast for times when I’m bored.

Im glad that WPA2 is still safe to use

Superb content. A lot of technical terms make me realize that I know nothing about Wi-Fi at all, which is eye-opening. Excited to discover more. Thanks for the fantastic work, Mr. David. Keep it up!

Great video man❤

0:00 I scanned and found over 100 Wi-Fi sources in 2.4GHz and 5GHz combined. The interference stays over 60% at all time. Wi-Fi 6E gives significant improvement in stability, reliability and speed. But the ultimate solution is to move wisely to wired connections and gradually moving from GbE to 2.5GbE and even 10GbE for home networking.

hey, I love your show very informative. I have a question or a suggestion can you make a video for the average Joe.how to send email ot text messages,sensitive documents with text message or email so , whatever you sending is very secure and also after you send it probably will expired after a couple days and also with encryption with the encryption also can be expired in certain days.

can you cover topics on other networking protocols such as Modbus etc automation protocols

As I’m writing this there’s been pure wifi drama from malicious actors! Can’t access the VPN, You Tube…🙄 As a older person we need better & affordable supports when online. Awesome device❤

I don't think deauth works on wpa3. Due to dragonfly technology

Well done Sir👍

The question I've got a lot recently about WiFi is "What happened when your mobile devices leave WiFi and switch back to your cellular network. How safe are the the communications there and are they as encrypted as WPA3 for example?".

Thanks so much David amazing topic

I'm doing network engineer course and your ccna + ccnp playlist helping me a lot👀✨❤️ i just love your content sir✨👀 can you increase some videos in comptiA security+ because I want to learn more about that course👀✨❤️ by the way I'm your biggest fan 🤩❤️

Thanks, question? Are we safe using the 2.4 ?

AES256 with Good password is uncrackable

Amazing...thank you for making Cyber in South Africa better, I think a lot look down at us when it comes to Cyber

Omg I neee one!

What--no drawing to win an Ekahau Sidekick 2, David? 😅😅

Hello sir i wanted to ask you a question that data recovery after factory reset from google pixel4 without backup is possible or not? Can you plzz guide me sir 🙏🙏🙏

Tips. disable all supported and advertised rates below N on 2.4 make your 2.4 beacons slower than your 5ghtz beacons this will force older devices that support a but not ac onto 5ghtz. It wont break old devices. If you are running multiple SSIDs have a SSID for all your old crap that only supports PSK and give them shitty coverage on only 2.4 to force people to upgrade. The best band steering is to make your 2.4 crap! Only transmit it on some APs

Thanks for sharing, good information.

Maybe I missed it, but what is the recommended length of a WPA2 password ?

It's a dumb quesetion, I know, but is wpa3-enterprise more secure than wpa3-personal, since the guys said wpa3-enterprise is basically the same as wpa2-enterprise?

Hi, Sir, I want to use radius server for my wifi users/ and which one is best in open source and also each user should login with diffrent password and auto logout in 1hr or 2hrs, please suggest the same Thank you

Great channel. Great episode.

millions of billions of devices?

What about using a QR code for the password. Is that ok ?

The honeypot : 😅

A lot of devices dont support WAP3

Hi David ❤

Dont believe wpa1 is ultra crackable like WEP. you would still need to run Brute force or Rainbow Tables against it. Im sure that was still the case??

Let’s test how secure is Mac’s wifi. I live one house away from his. I could grab handshake and send to David to brute force it😂

2nd ❤❤

I doubt wifi 7 will be most beneficial for home users. Most of the smart home gizmos and gadgets don't exactly use the most up to date wifi and your average user isn't going to be going through to try and replace all that junk just so everything uses wpa3. If they even know what wpa3 is tbh. And we all know how many industrial type and other slow moving industries operate: if it's 30 years old and it more or less works, no we aren't going to pay to replace it. If you want a secure business wifi network, the best way to do so is to stop all BYOD situations. Have an independent wifi network everyone can connect their personal devices to so you don't have to fight that fight nor spend the money to give everyone their own company phones, etc... And wire all the things: if something doesn't absolutely have to have wifi, it shouldn't, and if it does, find a new something.

👍👍

Respect the basics and life experiences stay analog asf Faraday bags fir what is valuable...ImO....i still try to be analog as possible from djn real 12"wax vinyls mostly n my studio to my ways with all aspects of life that we all use on a daily basis...like washer/dryer, fridge, oven, light bulbs and so much more...no roomba EVER...nor a ring device...etc etc I feel no need to have alexa and every other AI "helper" that is constantly pushed into every aspect of daily life. Human beings are so reliant on "smart devices" that they can no longer get by in everyday life without having them in their pockets at all times!!!! Crazy how most people will denie that honest and factually based Statement.... sadly I wish it wasn't wrong. But go navigate through a unknown place without ur phone or any location help....USING only a basic paper map. Most young people have no clue what or how or where to start! 😂😂sad but true! @ me if im wrong and see how you can prove it!! Fr fr 🤙🏽✌🏽

COOL!

🎉🎉🎉

the audio is slightly out of sync for me between the different ears

Old devices,…. So HP printers only using 2.4 ghz? 😂

Thank you David and keep it up!

If only there was more than 1 wifi7 router available.

6Ghz also has less penetration through walls and such?

M&M's

HTTtp?

Yeah. Long (passwords) is relative, do you mean 14 characters, or 20, 32 or even 63? The devil is in the details.

That was all Greek to me.

Every like this comment if you want to see the (HID Omnikey)on the channel LIKE IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS

the benefit of wifi7 is 6ghz even if wifi6e also supports it? I dont get it... these guys are fakes

1st!!!!

My solution is; don´t use WiFi at all. cables is GOD...

69th comments My request is that please make a video on how to hack a wifi which have alpha numeric password

first

How many ISE PSNs should I deploy for my house?
