  1. I've made an edit to the episode 1 notes. It seems I goofed on the text overlay in the video and wrote the wrong receiver model number.

    You'll need the TM751. It's the one with the antenna. If you had previously purchased the other model, thats ok, just get the TM751 and now you'll have two modules. Just add another link to the script with the other module number and you'll be able to control two lights.

    Sorry for the mistake,

  2. Thanks. We had a bunch of fun shooting that one too. It was part of the episode 2 teaser, but since a lot of viewers hadn't seen it I threw it in episode 2 at the last minute. We'll be having more crazy stuff like that in the future.

  3. We are currently working on moving all of our media content to a dedicated server for direct downloads. We should have that up in about a week. I'll see if I can get another mirror online before then, or at least get a medium quality render up on YouTube for streaming.

  4. That is one of the many easter eggs in the show. There is one in the homebrew hack and one in the intro.

    Oh, and you don't get Ali nude unless you pony up the twenty bucks.. Oh wait, hang on... What's that Ali? not getting nude? nevermind then...

    Thanks for all the feedback. Be sure to send your questions to questions@hak5.org, and answer the trivia question at trivia@hak5.org. Keep those torrents seeding, and we'll see you next 5th ( if not sooner ;) )

  6. that was great. Awsome

    is this for real?

    http://www.digg.com/technology/Hak.5_remot...ipt_got_HAKED.1

    Man i loved teh gamecube mod :P

    thnaks for the xp install tip

    Yes it is real, however keep in mind that the URL to the light script was left in the show as en easteregg. When I came home from work the lights started flickering, which was great feedback that the show was being watched. We left the light script open without a password. In fact, if you head to http://aardwolf.homeip.net:82/ you'll see a little video we made of us getting excited about the lights turning on and off.

    Now if only the first to "hack" the lights would come forward there would be a T-shirt hitting the FedEx box soon.

    PS: The blurb on Digg has about 28 comments now. I doubt it'll hit homepage but who knows. Release party was great. Night hacklings.

  7. We did that. I'll post the source code for that as well if there is interest. I added it last night because I had a feeling someone would try the DynDNS URL on the cellphone. We're having fun watching the lights go on and off.

  8. Hak.5 Episode 1 has been released. You can find the download links on the episodes page.

    In this pilot episode we cover:

    * Does the speed at which you wardrive affect your ability to pick up wireless access-points?

    * Controlling your household lights with an Internet enabled cell phone

    * Killing local or remote windows processes from the command line

    * Modding the gamecube to play DVDs

    * Custom painting your PC case

    * Windows installation tip

    Beta Test - Wifi Test

    -----------------------

    Pretty basic, the faster we drove the lower the singal was. Keep in mind that the access point was in line of sight with no obstructions.

    Homebrew Hacks - x10 cellphone hack

    -------------------------------------------

    This hack requires Apache from http://www.apache.org and PHP from http://www.php.net as well as a CM17A "firecracker" com port adapter, and x10 Lamp Module

    The Receiver you will need is model number TM751 (The one with the antenna, not one displayed in video without antenna). I goofed on that one. Sorry!

    Correction: We noticed after editing the episode that the lighthomepage had been taken down. Thankfully we grabbed a copy of the file before it left the Internet.

    Random Bits - Windows install tip

    -------------------------------------

    Shift + F10 gets you a command prompt while Installing windows. If you are on a network you can even get an IP address with IPCONFIG, and start using tools like FTP and TELNET. Or just sit back and play a nice game of SOL.EXE :)
