Darren shares with you his custom twitter tamagotchi bot written in PHP with some sweet RSS parsing, VLC controlling, curl loving nested goodness. Plus guest Jim Louderback, gadget lover and Revision3 stage hand, joins us to talk about all things new media.

Just a heads up about some upcoming website updates in preparation for the upcoming season premiere (August 5th as usual). We’ve changed the permalink structure of the site meaning that rather than having ugly urls like hak5.org/archives/237 we now have hak5.org/episodes/season-3-episode-9. Isn’t that beautiful? mod_rewrite is taking care of any prior bookmarks you may have, everything is redirecting correctly from the old structure.

We’ll be uploading a ton of archive material over the next few weeks so if you’re subscribed to the site-wide RSS feed you’ll likely get flooded with pages.

This will not impact the xvid, mp4, or wmv feeds.

We’ll have an update on the HakHouse progress soon. The short version is we’ve moved back into the HakHouse but the first flood is still under construction meaning we don’t have a kitchen, living room, or studio.

Cheers,
Darren

In this episode Matt uses PowerGUI to command the new Windows PowerShell, Chris Gerling demonstrates Helix, an open source forensics toolkit and Darren builds a simple web mashup using Yahoo Pipes. Plus haksnacks including router passwords, uninterrupted file copying, password strength auditing, and Firefox keyword shortcuts.

Oh yeah and some bloopers. A lot of bloopers. Actually, pretty much most of the episode is one ongoing blooper. We’re kicking it oldschool Hak5 style. Call it senioritis if you will .

Harrison makes us all a little more paranoid about network security with an ARP Cache Poisoning overview, then takes it to the streets. Wess gives the case a break and takes on the IBM Model M beast-keyboard while Alli goes retro with a classic arcade game review. All this plus a flaming-case-mod and a flame-proof blueberry hefeweizen.
