This device right here is designed to hack my network like on purpose.
And I bought it to do that. Why? Well it's actually helping keep my kids safe.
What hacking device has helped helping keep your kids safe? Yeah.
This device is called the circle and it's kind of a creepy name,
but it's a parental control and internet filtering device.
And yet it kind of works in a weird way, a crazy way.
Cause it legit when you plug it into your network will hack your network.
So in this video,
I'm going to break down how this device is hacking my network and why I love it.
I'm going to keep letting it do it, which I know does sound a bit crazy,
but you'll see, you'll see. And shout out to hosting your,
for sponsoring this video. If you need a website, which you do,
everyone needs a website. They are the web provider of the web host.
I recommend let's talk more about them later in the video.
I am not sponsored by circuits bought this device myself.
I just wanted to get better at protecting my kids on the internet.
And I heard this thing does something kind of weird to do that.
So I had to try now,
here's why this thing's a bit crazy and why people love check this up to make
this circle device work.
All you have to do is plug it into your existing router. Just pop that Ethan,
a cable, bam right into it.
And it just works like magic and the magic is packing. Well,
we'll get into that,
but this is cool because it's so much easier than other internet filtering
devices,
because normally you'd have to replace your router because in order for my five
kids to have their internet traffic filtered and protected, yes,
I do have five kids. I've got five daughters. Pray for me.
The router is the device that does this because by default,
all of your traffic in your home network is going through your router.
It has to, that's how it gets out to the internet shred to the internet.
So again,
most of the time when you do want to protect or filter your kid's internet,
traffic is going to involve buying a router that has those features built into
it. But as I mentioned before, the circle does not do that. It's crazy. Again,
you simply just plug it into your existing router,
just plug that sucker in pink and let the all-seeing eye of Sauron.
It sees all your kids' internet, traffic.
Both sound on we'll have dominion over all life on.
This and it doesn't just see it. It can stop it, filter it,
prevent them from doing stuff. But how is that working? Well,
it's hacking your network. So let me show you how it works.
I'm going to plug this sucker into my network and just let it hack me.
Let's do it. Plug it in here. Oh, best down in the world.
And I'll plug it in right here. Now, once you plug it in,
you will need the circle app to connect to it and configure it.
But the moment you plug it in, it does this.
It will scan using the all-seeing eye.
It'll scan your network and identify all the devices that it can see,
which on most home networks will be everything.
The all-seeing eye sees everything, right? So here's the app.
I already have a few things going on, obviously,
but you can see all the devices on my network. I found everything.
Now that's a simple network scan, nothing too crazy.
And it won't have anything unless you tell it to.
So I'd have to specifically say, Hey dude, I want you to attack my kids.
I want you to actually look at their network traffic and protect them with
hacking. And I'll do that by identifying their devices. I'll say circle,
this is my kids' devices attack go. And it does it.
And here's how the attack works. It's pretty cool. Check this out.
You may have heard about this one because I've talked about it before,
but it's an attack called an ARP poisoning attack,
which is a very common hacking attack.
If you want to learn how to do this yourself with your own device,
like a raspberry PI, I've got a few videos up in here, check them out.
But anyways, the ARP poisoning attack here's what's happening.
We just covered that by default. Well,
my kids try to access the internet without the circle device involved.
They're always going to go to my router because that's their default gateway.
That's how they get out to the internet.
His IP address is ten.seven.one dot three,
and his Mac address going one layer down in the OSI model.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out my CCNA series.
I'll teach you all about the stuff is Mac address is this stuff right here to
put it in really simple terms. The IP address is kind of like the routers name.
The router is ten.seven.one dot three. The Mac address is where he lives.
So here in my home network,
whenever my daughter is trying to get out on the internet and try to access
something, they know they have to go through my router, Mr.
ten.seven.one dot three.
You want to get to him? You gotta go through me and me,
me to.
Very well, but they first have to find out, dude, where does he live?
What's his Mac address, but how do they find out where Mr 10 does seven.one,
three lives? How do they find out what his Mac address is?
They simply ask and they ask everyone, they actually scream it out. Hey,
where is ten.seven.one to three. Where does he live? Literally,
that's what they do on your, your, the devices in your network do this.
And that's what AARP is actually AARP stands for the address resolution
protocol.
And that's what pretty much everything in your network uses to find out where
things are. And it's kind of like the Google maps of your home network.
So my daughters will scream out. Hey everyone,
where's ten.seven.one dot three.
And what's supposed to happen is the device that is ten.seven.one dot three will
say, Hey, Hey, I'm over here. So that's the router, right?
So the router will tell them here's my Mac address. I live over here,
come visit. And that's a healthy functioning network, no hacking there,
but that's not what's happening here. Right?
When you plug in the circle and you want the circle device to hack your kids,
here's what happens. Your kids scream out. Hey, where's the router.
Where's ten.seven.one to three or on your network.
It might be 1 9, 2 9 1 6 eight.one.one. Where is it?
The circle device will hear that and go. It makes that sound.
I promise you. You just can't hear it. It'll say, Hey, I'm actually guys.
ten.seven.one to three.
So over here I am ten.seven.one dot
three. It will respond to that question. That AARP request them,
asking where the router is.
It will tell them that ten.seven.one dot three.
The Mac address is actually this Mac address. So now here's what happens.
All my daughter's devices think that the router is the circle device.
They think ten.seven.one dot three is circle.
So now whenever they try to access anything on the internet,
where are they going to go? You guessed it.
They're going to go to my circle device. Cause they think that's the router.
My kids just got hacked. And it's a good thing. Look as now,
when circle sees their traffic, what they're trying to access, it can say,
oh yeah, you want to go play roadblocks? That's fine. Come play roadblocks.
Whoa, whoa. You're trying to go to what site? What are you trying to look at?
Nope.
You ain't looking at that because everything goes through the all seeing ISR on
now the circle device. I one sec,
let's take a quick break to talk about your career.
If you want a career in it or you want to become a hacker or you're just a
person that's alive, that's breathing. You need a website.
Everyone needs a website.
You got to start working on your personal brand right now.
I've got a whole video talking about why you need a website.
Check that out up here somewhere.
And one of the best places to build a website is through hosting the sponsor of
this video. I currently host a website for all of my daughter's on hosting her.
Yes,
all five of my daughters have believes so strongly that everyone needs a website
at any age. So even where's she now four month old has a website.
I like hosting her because they have extremely fast servers and they get 99.9%
uptime. They're optimized for WordPress,
which is like the most popular way to build a website.
That's what my daughter's websites are right now.
They have amazing chat support,
24 7, 365 and getting things up and running is pretty simple.
Get an awesome control panel. You get a free domain and SSL.
When you sign up about to get a whole video, showing you how to do this, uh,
setting up a website for free and then going a bit more premium.
So check it out up here. So yes, you do need a website right now.
So go ahead and start right now. Check my link below.
Use the coupon code network. Chuck on hosting your,
and you'll get 10% off unless you get a 30 day money back guarantee.
So no worries, but again, seriously do it.
And I would also love to see your website.
If you do go and create your own website comment below, I want to see,
I may even feature you in a future video. So yes, hosting your, check them out.
Thank you. Hosting it for sponsoring this video. Show them some love.
Let's get back to it. Let's talk about hacking.
So this computer right here is currently not being attacked by my circle device.
Let me show you how I know this. I want to go into command prompt here.
She's the font. So you can see stuff and let's check my art table. AARP dash a.
So right now, things are actually pretty healthy. ten.seven.one dot three.
My router, his addresses, right? His physical address is in fact,
my real router. Remember this, it ends in F F five nine,
but now let's change that. Let's sit my circle device on him.
Evil eyes saw Ron attack. Um, so first actually want to capture the traffic.
I want to see all the things that are coming in.
So I'm going to use a really awesome program called Wireshark so we can actually
see the attack happen, which is really cool. It's anyways,
I want to start the capture.
Now I'm going to filter it by AARP and look what's happening with AARP.
It's constantly trying to find out where things live on my network. Hey,
where's this haze. Where's this it's we're gonna keep an eye on that.
So here we go. I'm going to tell a circle to attack this device.
I'm going to find them real quick. I think his name has an Q in it. Yeah,
there it is. So right now he's assigned to unmanaged devices.
I'm going to pick them up and I'll assign them to a random thing like apple TV
and that's it. So we're about to see something cool. Watch this.
Let's scroll down here. Oh look, there are circles.
I'm actually going to stop the capture real quick. They're circle. Look,
we just hold it right here in the message. He says, Hey ten.seven.one.
Dot three is at this Mac address in the, in C3 D zero.
That's the Mac address of the circle device. That's his address? He just lied.
He's hacking. Let's see if it worked.
Let's check our table again to the same command.
R dash a look at that before it was F F five nine.
Now C3 D zero belongs to S ten.seven.one dot
three. So now for that machine, all his traffic, bam,
going straight to Mr. Circle here and now Mr. Circle is in control.
He can filter. He can say you can't go to places.
He can tell me what they're accessing. And by the way,
he's doing this constantly. So if I start the capture once more,
I'm going to filter by, uh, by Mac address here. Look,
it is constantly telling this device, this computer that he is the router.
So the router never has a chance to say actually, excuse me, sir. Uh,
I'm actually tend to up 7.1 to three. Nope. Not going to happen. Sorry.
That was loud. Circle is always, always jumping in and saying, Nope, that's me.
And notice my Wireshark application here.
It picked up that there is a duplicate use of ten.seven.one dot three,
two people are saying, Hey, it's me circle saying it more. So he's the boss.
Now I know for many of you,
this immediately threw up a bunch of red flags like Chuck,
you're letting a device, hack your network.
You letting it see all your network traffic. That's dumb maybe.
But according to circle all that information about my traffic stays right
here, locally on this guy. It does not go out to the internet and yeah, sure.
There are other things out there that can filter your kids' network traffic.
The reason I love this one the most is that you can assign multiple devices to
one kid. For example, check this out. Let's go find that computer.
We just started attacking and I'm going to assign him not to my apple TV,
but to my daughter, Chloe.
So now Chloe has obviously multiple devices she's assigned to.
So let me jump into her profile real quick. She's actually got three devices.
She has an iPhone. She has a gaming computer that we built together.
And now this little computer that we're testing. Now,
why that's killer is I can now track her network traffic and what she does,
how long she does it across every device she has. So I can see right here,
she's been using the internet for 10 hours today. What has she been doing?
Eight hours of roadblocks. What the heck? I mean, it is the weekend,
but my goodness, but why I love that is it's not just tracking one device again.
It's tracking the amount of time she spent on roadblocks on her computer,
on her phone and whatever device I assign this to.
It's adding all that together. Which other apps I've used just don't do that.
That's why I use this.
And then of course the thing I really depend on is the filter.
I can tightly control what she accesses on the internet at all times.
And I can see what she may have tried to access. And that was blocked.
I can see every site she's visited and see what was blocked or filtered.
And it can also set time limits on things and set certain things to reward only
like Disney plus,
I don't let them watch that all the time so I can just reward them with time.
Like for example, Chloe did a good job today. You worked hard.
So might reward her with 30 minutes of Disney plus time. Bam.
And that reward is sent to Chloe. Super cool.
Now what you also may have noticed is that when you saw my daughter's phone here
on her devices, it has that VPN little icon there and it says VPN active.
What does that mean? Well, it means that wherever she goes,
even if she leaves my house with that phone and is on LTE or 5g now,
or is on some other wifi, I'm still filtering her traffic.
It put a local VPN filter on her phone. So it's not actually, you know,
phoning back home through the circle device.
It has a local VPN profile there and it will always cycle through that filter
when she goes to the internet. So yeah, my kids can escape suckers.
So now that begs the question. If you do want to bypass the circle device,
if you want to stop being hacked, if you want to avoid an art poisoning attack,
well, what can you do? How do you bypass this device? Now,
if you're a kid and you're watching this and you're trying to figure out how to
bypass the circle device, your parents put in place for you. Yeah.
I'm going to show you how to do that, but this bad don't do that.
Don't disobey your parents honor your parents,
but if you're savvy enough to figure this out, then, um,
anyways, here we go. I'm going to show you how to bypass the circle device,
which we'll also show you how to protect yourself from an art poisoning attack.
So here on this computer,
let's real quick check and see if the AARP entry is still there.
AARP dash a yes. C3 D zero.
The circle device is still saying he's ten.seven.one dot three, dot my router.
So again, we'll fix this by adding a static AARP entry. Here's how we do it.
First let's list our, uh, interfaces here. I'll do an IP config.
And obviously this is windows specific.
And here I want to take note of the name of my interface. So for example,
the one I want to look at is Ethan it. So it's just named ether. Net.
Yours might be local area connection. In fact,
it's probably going to be that for most people anyways, now that I have that,
here's the command and that's S H I C interface,
IPV four, add neighbors. And then in quotes,
I'll say the name of my interface, ether net was mine.
Yours might be in local area connection again.
And then the IP address of my router, ten.seven.one dot three.
And then the Mac address that I found in Wireshark. This guy right here, FF two,
nine they're real routers, IP or Mac address. And that should be it.
Let's hit enter. Oh wait. I always forget.
They want dashes instead of colons. They're picky. So remove those Colins,
put a dash in there and let's hit enter once a more golden. I think let's check.
Let's do our dash a and bam static, AARP entries.
I'm bypassing my circle device. I should be good.
And when I received that poisoned from the circle device telling me he's the
boss, I'm like, no, no, no, no. I've got his address memorized.
I know where he lives. You can't lie to me. I know the truth.
And notice how here it tells you the type, the type here was static.
We set that manually. Everything else is going to be dynamic.
The ones that knows about and learn through AARP. So yeah,
this is circle a device that I love to let hack my network because it helps keep
my kids safe. It's a weird way to filter in protect your internet traffic.
But I think it's kind of cool.
I think it's cool that it hacks my network in a way that, um,
is common for hackers to do.
And what's even crazier is my home network is pretty secure as far as like
putting insecurity and having things monitor it. Like I have ubiquity and it's,
here's my network. I've got a dream machine. It doesn't catch this,
which is kind of crazy. But anyways, I just thought this was a cool thing. Um,
I thought it was kind of neat that it's a parental device that, um,
is using a common attack called art poisoning.
They're very transparent about this on their website. Like check it out.
Watch when you look up how this device works, bam right here.
ARP spoofing art poisoning, which are alarming sounding names. Yes they are.
It's true that art spoofing can be used by black hats to compromise network
security. The circle device uses art spoofing for a good reason. So it's,
it's pretty cool though. Anyways, let me know what you think of this device.
Do you want one? Do you already have one? Let me know.
I've got an Amazon link below. If you want to try it out.
I got the lifetime subscription package, so it's good forever.
And it was honestly kind of fun to tinker with it. See how it works.
Look at the Wireshark traces and the traffic. Yeah. That's pretty much it.
Make sure you hack YouTube today by liking this video commenting subscribing
notification bill. Is it? Yeah. That's everything. Yeah, that's all I have.
I will, um, catch you guys next time.
