About


Put together by a band of IT ninjas, security professionals and hardcore gamers, Hak5 isn’t your typical tech show. We take on hacking in the old-school sense, covering everything from network security, open source and forensics, to DIY modding and the homebrew scene. Then we wrap it all up with a healthy dose of cocktails and geek comedy. Damn the warranties, it’s time to Trust your Technolust.

The Buzz on Hak5

An appealing cast of übergeeks demonstrates nifty ’sploits, like building a laser audio transmitter for an iPod and hacking a CVS digital camera. No pandering to the masses here; each month’s installment is packed with code examples and parts lists - plus a shot of 1337 humor. Check out the reviews of iTunes, FireAnt, and Democracy in episode eight, and don’t miss the pitches for the latest innovations from “Microshaft.”

The guys know what they’re talking about, and the show now sports some slick presentation to accompany the high-quality content. Definitely worth a download.
