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...

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

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

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

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.

Probably my favorite TED talk.

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?

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

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

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

Quality

Way underappreciated. Amazing job man.

Absolutely epic, amazing talk Tom! 🚀

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

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.

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

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

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