In this Flying-by-the-seat-of-our-pants edition of Hak5 episode 2×07 / Live Beta 2 we settle into the temporary set and check out a web app to help you IRC at work, a Mac hack for using front row with a wiimote, and a utility for recovering WPA/WEP keys. Plus your calls and an AFK award for a long lost code monkey.

Special uber thanks go to Ashley Witt for cleaning up our poor audio. I’m sure next episode will be slightly less frantic as we settle into the new place. Keep an eye on Hak5.org for updates on future live shows this month.

  16. JoshuaH on February 6th, 2007 6:56 am

    Well, I’m getting the right speeds and the right file size(And I wasn’t getting the right size earlier), but at about 50% completion, the speed drops to 0 and stops. Restarted like 5 times now…Will try a few more times I guess. Anyone else having this problem?

  17. JoshuaH on February 6th, 2007 1:34 pm

    Well iPod version downloaded fine. I had problems with the Xvid last month to, I guess I will just stick to the iPod version for now on :).

    Hey guys,

    Excellent job as always! I did notice something while watching that caught my ear. There was a very faint buzz in the audio during most of the video. I’ve experienced this exact noise while doing audio production work. Through a TON of trial and error, I found that it was the power supply for a laptop. I fixed it by getting rid of the ground pin with a two prong adapter. I hope this helps you guys out! Keep up all the good work!

    Yes we need a torrent PLEASE!

    speeds are varying a lot as well
    20k to 400k but it sits at around 80k

    You will just have to accept that this show is getting more popular so you need to up the bandwidth lol

  21. SoCalDaveBandito on February 7th, 2007 11:40 am

    Dude, if you guys are gonna mention sites then either put the URL’s on the bottom of the screen or provide show notes.

    Drives me crazy when playing back and trying to figure out what was said.

    Thanks. Keep rocking on.

  22. tvguy on February 7th, 2007 6:12 pm

    1. need a few stationary mic’s to pick up all sound, and voices.
    2. need something to cut down echo from the walls.

    Good show.

  24. Sharuk on February 8th, 2007 8:35 pm

    I love your podcast series!
    Just wanted to say that you got DreamHost and Godaddy on same page. Which one is better??
    are you guys confused too! or they’re paying good money.
