    Episode 4x06

    in Hak5

    I say this with the utmost respect for the time you guys put into the show and I know you guys are shooting for as much info in 30 minutes or so while still keeping things fresh, but sometimes a segment deserves to be given some more time, focus and attention to details while keeping the flow of the show moving along.

    One thing that might be nice is if you get into a topic that does take multiple episodes to go over, might be more techinal or complex, maybe devote (not every show, but) 1 show here or there to that topic for the majority of the episode with a small segment afterwards. Once you get on to something like packet sniffing, it sort of wets the palette and leaves you thirsting for more while not really getting any meat and potatoes, its hard trying to fill in the gaps week to week, like with the fon.

    For example, if I am new to Wireshark(which I'm not but anyway) I might have to keep re watching several episodes in pieces to get a full understanding of the topic. Or, I'd have to edit them together on my own time to watch it straight through so I can pay attention in more detail. Viewers have short attention spans, and might try to follow up later on in another episode and be left feeling like they didn't learn anything or really grasp the segment in detail. They might be turned off from it all together if they can't make sense of it. I felt the packet sniffing segment was a bit rushed through and while I understand its broken into several segments over time, it feels like the pace is set too fast and your watching the clock to see if you got all your info in the segment. Might end up forgetting something important, or skimming too much on the surface without getting an understanding of what it is you are trying to tell us.

    Just my opinion though.

    I would play devil's advocate here, and say that the way they have it set up, is really geared more towards creating a consistent viewer base. You come to hak5 weekly, to hear the newest hacks, and what not. If you were specifically wanting to beef up on your wireshark abilities, there's an entire wiki about it :)

    is there a perticular reason that someone hasn't made a master copy of linux...that like combines all the progs and stuff built into the various flavors...and just made like "linux: 1337.0" ???

    < teh unlimited bandwidth <3 comcast (actually no I HATE comcast....I'd MUCH rather uncap my modem's upstream capabilities and NOT have to face a 2,000 dollar fine for being smarter than their other monkey subscribers) ......you guys should do a segment on cable modem uncapping :) 'tis loads of fun....and pretty much a direct violation of 99% ISP's EULA's.....hehe....but hey....if you dont get caught then it's not illegal right? ;)

    I agree, the sketches really set Hak.5 apart from other tech shows....I mean not only do they attract the tech enthusiast (I was going to say techno enthusiast....but hak5 isnt a computer generated song.....so does that mean Hak5's motto, is trust your lust for techno music? :-P ) but they also break out of the traditional mould for a tech tv show, with just nifty ways to circumvent the system on a daily basis...providing the subtle humor, you really have to just sit back and laugh at....."fill this prescription....I WILL NOT...FILL THIS PRESCRIPTION!" <<<---I THOUGHT THAT WAS HILARIOUS, and literally laughed for minutes on end at 1am with everyone sleeping (ever seen/heard someone laugh without any air? its WEIRD!)

    but yea......sketches r0x0r t0 t3h m4x

    ok, so my college has a setup for wifi, that the students are able to surf the net, do whatever basically....but when you first try to access it (the internet....or any webpage for that matter) it automatically redirects you to a login page on the intranet. I dont have a username or password, and for circumstances beyond my control (no I didnt do anything bad) they wont issue me a student login. :cry: ....ANYWAY

    I've attempted to sniff up the packets with ethereal, watching carefully the redirecting going on from >firefox>www.google.com>login page and I just cant tell how the network tech's got it set up. the login is SSL secured, and I HAVE ARP poisoned the gateway with each client (I dont really want to STEAL a user/pass....I really wanna see how this thing is SET UP, because it appears to be very intricate) Also, being the x86 skript kid that I am....using Cain and Abel, (for arp and password sniffing) used the routing table it gave me, and I got a TON of other gateways and router/switches on other subnets, [EIGRP]....so I already figured I was delving into something that was obviously not intended to be seen.

    I suppose my question is this: Is anyone familiar with this type of authentication? web based login for internet access?

    any help would be much obliged

    yea, I dont quite know if the cgi script is similar to ---> www.peacefire.org <-- but those guys have essentially set it up as three quick installers and *viola* you're computer has now been turned into a webserver / proxy.

    ....if you want, you can edit the cgi script and toggle ssl, so you're not only anonymous, its 1337 secure......

    but to brush off a bit of the dust on my hat......if you think about it, I actually put a redirector to my IP address, so it was easy enough to commit it to memory (thisismyproxy.tk <--- or something of that nature [perhaps joynic?] ) but....you can give that newborn domain to your friends at school....and wouldn't it only seem "duh" to think.....all their traffic is going through your computer when they use the proxy....*hmm*....just chew on that for a while*.....
