Defeating Facial Recognition - Retia on Hak5

Oh is a russian company! Oh is china! WTF! USA is the first spy on your day.

Woop woop

Hackers is negative… good people are also working hard to defeat this government overreach.

Destroy all cameras

No privacy = no respect

If you have no reason to spy on people then you don't need the tech if you do use it your a communist end of story commies

If you're not a wanted person in theory it shouldn't matter 😂😂😂

Chyna uses the social credit score on a state registered app, and America instated the same system back before the Coof, and it runs in the background for the future takeover of all last freedoms. Chyna models the future of America. Does that bother you?

Does anyone at Hak5 have any info or updates on the Faux anti facial biometric program? Or anything similar? Last I heard, Faux was still working on improved version

Yo, tech guy….blink please. You’ll convey a deeper human message

Time to get a burka

This was dissapointingly untechnichal, contrary to what the title and description would suggest.

An abundance of fluff and nonsense within the segments, comprised of "We don't know", "It's black magic" among others. Continuing on, the cited solutions while they may hold water were both impractical and technically lacking. It's also unclear which system is being defeated with these intended methods as most of what's said is in a vague and general sense. Lastly the applied tests were poorly executed for several reasons. Whilst giving the impression of blackboxing, the libraries aren't proprietary. The "defeating" of the system was also extremely crude. It goes without saying that if you make your face unrecognizable e.g. by covering it, facial recognition doesn't work, so what exactly was proven?

In regards to the morals of the applied technology, the piece (like many) always seem to have a bias. What China does with the technology is claimed to be immoral, yet when the same is applied in the west it is morally just. Whether this is said due to poor understanding or outright bias is not quite clear, though should be ommitted in my opinion as it is a subjective matter to an objective topic. One can point fingers endlessly, Apple uses proprietary facial recognition to unlock your phone, no doubt they have telemetry for that; is that good or bad? Ultimately nobody knows except the person with the hands on the steering wheel. Likewise FOSS projects have been retrained and incorporated within POC systems intended for military use.

For anyone invested in the technical aspects of this subject I recommend browsing through presentations made at Defcon. Albeit considered brief to the topic of AI they do a far better job delving into the inner workings.

Best you can do is to wear a burka....

PRIVACY is the name of the game!! Fast crap-talking commentator!

A society on a leash like what they currently have in China is unacceptable. This is what voting LEFT gets you, while some disgusting individuals like Trudeau openly praise the Chinese Dictatorship, the rest who don't praise it in the open are still probably sympathizers.
They are not doing it for our security but for theirs, after Snowden and Assange they've become too paranoid because they are very corrupt. Just a matter of time before they will want you to use facial id to even use the internet.

So if you've got nothing to hide you have no right to annonimity.

And now show your passport to the guard on the SS checkpoint.

Juggalos hack the planet! 🤣

As an unemployed super villain. "I look forward to trying this out."

personally im more comfortable with russia having my face then the fbi.

Facebook is dangerous also. It tracks

Move to the woods

A vendor of facial recognition technologies explained why the bridge of the nose is so important to facial recognition. The software detects the tear ducts, and the space between the 2 tear ducts on the left and right of the nose is relatively unique, and a great place to start calculating measurements between other facial areas.. the more you know.

She should talk about asymmetrical haircuts :)

were all gonna be wearing war paint soon

You should try painting more eyes onto your face. Like Captain Jack Sparrow in the one Pirates of The Caribbean movie.

please blink for once

Who makes the glasses and how are they funded. THAT is the question.

If whoever's convnet fails to detect a face due some black paint or something on the ridge of their nose, their dataset used to train sucks. Perhaps some dropout layers can help?

If you look at movies like The Fifth Element or Hunger Games where privacy is a privilege, you will see that the wealthy tend to have extreme makeup and hairstyles that change everyday.

Big brother

I’m sick of the government tracking the public. It’s sickening

😬

No bloody privacy left for the innocent and honest people are treated by murderers and criminals. They use images and details supplied by Facebook who sells your privacy, details and personal photos to these parasite software companies who developed this evil technology. These companies that developed this horrible technology need to be shut down by all governments in every country of the world and this technology declared illegal and a total breach or privacy.

How about just walking with a bag on your head and two holes lol

I like to have my privacy. There is no argument or excuse beyond that

Facinating, I was looking more into overdriving the camera with IR light ....

Blink bro blink, i promise i am not going anywhere.
Brilliant content.

Would it work on a cat or dog door to the outside backyard?

He walks around the streets winking at freaks with a 2 liter stuck in his butt cheeks!

Love it when people say "it's just..."

Insane clown posse has held the secret to breaking up facial recognition

What about facemasks for COVID? And reflective sunglasses?

Another benefit to being a Juggalo.

it is dangerous and should be illegal you nut, just like artificial intelligence (we need to work on having intelligence people first) just like gain of function research... etc.

Draw a black line from your forehead to your chin dividing the face in half.

“Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”

― Edward Snowden

why try hide from face recognition. you dont get toilet paper. door not open. tesla run over you becoz not see human.
