Our servers didn’t explode over the weekend and we’ve compiled a list of all the great feedback so we’re ready to do it again.

Saturday was the pre-shoot meeting where we kicked around ideas, finalized the segments list, and wrote up the production schedule. There are so many great ideas it’s hard to choose which ones to do first.

Today we put together the set, acquired more lighting gear, and shot a mod with Wess. I even learned a very important lesson about not touching soldering irons!

Behind the scenes at Hak.5. We still need to get a pro lighting set and replace the aging mixer.

Wess got down and dirty with his next mod, nailing almost everything on the first take.

I got a little friendly with the soldering iron. Mental note, no touchy!

We’re going to try to finish one segment a day this week. The production schedule for this episode is really tight as I’ll be in Alaska by the end of the month. If all goes well I’ll have all next week to edit and encode. If you’ve got some links that would help me get the Xvid looking better, or the Quicktime in H.264 to share it would save me some googling next week.

The lights just turned off, on, and off again. We’d love to know who hacked us first. A free t-shirt awaits. Email info@hak5.org with IP address for verification with the subject “Winner”

You know who you are. Now turn ‘em back on

Aren’t eastereggs fun?

In this pilot episode of Hak.5 we test to see if the speed at which you war drive affects your ability to pick up access points. We also show you how to control your lights from an Internet enabled cell phone, kill remote windows processes, modify the gamecube to enable DVD playback, and custom paint your PC case. Plus a Windows XP installation tip everyone should know.
