Ryan Montgomery was called the ‘#1 ethical hacker’, presumably in the world, after his interview on the Shawn Ryan Show earlier this year. That ‘#1’ title is up for debate among the Hacking community but there’s no denying ethical hacker Ryan Montgomery is one of the industry’s best and someone who has been around the scene since the very early days.
Montgomery’s interview on the Shawn Ryan Show aired over the Summer and it’s nearly 3 hours. Despite being as long as a Marvel film it managed to rack up almost 5 million views. And it is now getting a second life as short clips from the interview take off on TikTok.
In this clip from the full interview, the ethical hacker who spends much of his time hunting predators online to bring them to justice shows how easy it is for him or anyone to use a Flipper Zero to hack Wi-Fi. The Flipper Zero is a $169 device that anyone can by on Google. Here’s how easily hackers can use that device:
