Detecting Packet Loss in RTP Phone Calls Using Wireshark
Just awesome!!!
i just want to understand the implications of using a VPN + DNS OVER HTTPS
In the 90’s I worked for a defense contractor that was building a telephone and internet recorder to be installed at phone companies, so yeah they are spying, I mean duh.
so basically the government could find out about anything?
interesting
Another Excellent Video, I remember attending a Blackberry Conference in 2015 and the words on good deal of the slides were "Remember that every contact has a trace" that phrase has stuck with me ever since as it was true then and is today.
How govts spy on every thIng : MONOPOLISED VIOLENCE
The data traffic can be read by the Device over which the traffic is routed, i.e. in this case the gateway. Even if you are using a secure HTTPS connection, the probability is very high that the Google inputs in the search as well as your access data to which pages can be seen as plain text in the recording.
Wireshark records the data as its leaving to the network adapter so everything that will be encrypted by the application layer is already encrypted.
Don't need root/admin access if you don't mind sending just 16 bytes per ping. Simply use the "pattern" option.
Resolve DNS locally and then proxy out.
Your local DNS server still needs to talk to one upstream
DNS over TLS? it would encrypt your traffic to DNS, most home routers can do it.
Is DoT better of DoH?
what of your VPN is your own wire guard server on a cloud server? running pfsense as firewall with VPN there as well as the your local machine running client
You could do this, that secures the server from logging but the traffic itself can be sniffed by the cloud hosting provider
@@plaintextpackets and what if I deploy my own VPN Wireguard server on my own network, say on a Docker Container or on a Raspberry PI ?
Get a Rasberry Pi and run Pihole for filtering of ads and cloudflare TLS / DNS over HTTPs. This solves a lot of DNS security problems as well as removing the adverts from all the LAN side of your network .
ur videos are crazy good i could watch em all day
Glad you like them!
Your channel is underrated and extremely helpful. I'm curious if using Quad9 DoH (DNS over HTTPS) or DoT (DNS over TLS) makes a difference compared to using a VPN?
Secure DNS is helpful as it encrypts the queries so your ISP (or other snoopers) wouldn’t be able to see them on the wire. But the owner of the DNS server will so that’s the trade off
Sorry, but I don't know much, the DoH and DoT are used to encrypt DNS queries and responses right?. As these queries are encrypted, ISP can't see DNS query responses, but after my machine got the DNS response, now the ISP will know "Where" I'm going, cause now the ISP has to route the traffic to that destination server. Is this true???
Think of sending a package to someone. Works "kind of" the same. If the 📦 isn't see through ISP just sees the destination address etc. Make yourself a pihole and look up your DNS traffic. Interesting to see, really.
Thank you a very interesting video and agree about VPN's as from what I have read need to ensure that the VPN service you use does not log your where and what. Another source such as Network Chuck has suggested using Proxy Chains to hide your identity would this be detectable in wireshark?
There are many vpn services that advertise they don’t log, but frankly I don’t trust that. TOR (a proxy chaining solution) is the closest thing to true privacy but the trade off is performance which is horrible
network chuck is a douche.
I guarantee that everything you do on the internet is being collected. Anything you type, see or do is being sold and tracked by the government
I can’t disagree
Your monitoring solution is great. Love the graphics. But finding the speedtest is not good.
Something that a lot of people miss when installing tools like this and reporting to ISPs: Bufferbloat. If you or someone in your household (or even a device you think is offline) is saturating either your upstream OR downstream bandwidth these tools will report packet loss, high pings, wild jitter, pretty much everything. Also: it’s very important to run this from a wired connection directly connected to your router. Testing over wifi is bad practice and might get a permanent note on the account at your ISP.
I really need to join the discord - thank you for this

Wow. This is unbelievably polished. I appreciate it when I can use a git command plus a docker compose command and it just works. I definitely spread this among some friends.
Thank you!
This channel is pure gold
And it's 65535 because that's the maximum value you can fit in 2 bytes. In other words 2^16 = 65536. It's one less than that because port 0 is not used.
65,535 is the total number of ports on any system. Ports below 1,024 originally designated to be fixed services. With some very low ports being really basic things for an operating system to recognize echo(4) or character gen(7). The IETF originally designated those ports in an RFC. And originally you were supposed to register your application for one of those low bit ports if it was going to be a regular standard service on multiple systems. That idea kind of went up in flames mid-90s time frame because nobody paid any attention to it. Ports above 1024 are Dynamic and are used by applications for whatever needs they have for additional ports freeing up the initial connection port for another device to connect to it. As a funny note you use those low 3 bit ports to check if a system is alive when icmp is disabled/firewalled.
thank you very much for the video, it's really helpful

Currently you can’t run it without docker but you can run just the probes and then connect external Prometheus and grafana. If interested join the discord to get help
