We’ve just wrapped up post production on episode 2×02. We’re leaving tonight for Toronto, Canada to shoot segments for Call for Help and Hak5 episode 2×03. We should be back this Sunday or Monday, in time to release this episode on the 5th. I hope you’ll join us in #hak5 on irc.hak5.org for the release party then. We’ll also be throwing a semi-formal cocktail party on the 9th so if you’re in town and want to dress up to get down drop me a line.

Wess and power tools, you just can’t go wrong.

Alli’s kooky as usual. This month she’s been getting addicted to using Photoshop with a Wacom tablet.

Fresh out of the E.R. Darren comes at us with some nifty embedded BSD goodness, only slightly loopy

Thanks for the Tea Melodic and TX!

Last night was the first day of shooting for 2×02 and we’re loving the little set upgrade. We spent a lot of time in the labs cooking up some killer segments so I’m sure everyone thirsting for Linux, BSD, and all around hackery will really enjoy what we’ve got in store for you.

Brick. It’s the new black.

So it turns out that Battlefield 2 servers work better with unfried motherboards. Damn. Who knew? So yeah, we ran into a little glitch last night for the LAN party. We’ve rescheduled the event for Thursday, August 24th at 9:00 PM EDT (-5 GMT).

I apologize to everyone who stayed up to play some BF2 with us. Instead we kicked it old-school and played some Unreal Tournament classic. Thanks to everyone who turned out last night, we had a blast.

Props to the HPBs who came out to frag

In this episode Darren shows us how to unite Windows, Mac, and Linux desktops with Synergy. Wess builds an automatic LED lamp, while Limin Li joins us to show off the setup of the digital DJ. Plus Interviews with Jason Davis of MD5Lookup at the sixth Hackers On Planet Earth conference in New York. And as always details on this month’s LAN party, trivia, poll, and geeky sketches.

It’s almost that time again! So I’m just going to post a few teaser pictures and remind everyone that Hak5 Episode 2×01 (Not S2E01, that looks really lame) will be out on schedule. And if you want it first then join us for the launch party on irc.hak5.org in #hak5. Our loyal IRC fans will be getting the download links far before they show up here.

Excited to be back

Look who we found at HOPE

Last night Wess and I were on Computer America with Carey Holzman. We had a great time and even had the opportunity to frag with him on the Hak5 Unreal Tournament server after the show. Thanks to everyone that called in and played some capture the flag with us, especially the awesome support on the red team . I’ve chopped up the audio and offer it here, sans commercials, in both mp3 and ogg goodness. Enjoy.

The_Spleen (Carey Holzman) rocked the sniper rifle and came out in second place on the red team. We kicked butt. Better luck next time blue team .
