Hey I'm Darren, the founding member of Hak5. We're new to Revision3 so I figured I'd open a thread to talk about who we are. So I'll start off with of "official" bio
Darren Kitchen has been exploring underground scenes since his first 1200 baud modem. He first found technolust after writing a BBS dialer in BASIC on a PC-XT. Since then he has made a career of his self-taught tech skills in the field of Systems Administration. After founding Hak5 in 2005 he has become fascinated with new media. Darren also pwns you in Unreal Tournament.
I hang in #hak5 on irc.hak5irc.org and I'm totally looking forward to hearing your feedback on the show. :)

I'm Chris, and I've been hanging around the Hak house for about a year and a half now.
Darren shoved me in front of a camera starting mid-season 3, and I've been around ever since doing various security oriented stuff, with the occasional gaming and other technolust goodness.
I'm in the IRC and also manage the SecuraBit podcast.

Hey guys, I'm Snubs AKA Shannon
You may know me as a shot girl from the Live New York Diggnation show or from the Pure Pwnage premieres for the past years... Or maybe just from my few posts on the Rev3 threads.
I'm a new member of Hak5, but I've been doing theatre for a while. Oh! And I just moved to the HakHouse, Virginia, from Missouri. I'm looking foward to co-hosting and hearing what you guys think. :D
Welcome Hak.5, been watching since the beginning. Looking forward to everything. Rock on!

I truly am sorry that you had to deal with such medieval technology. You have my sympathies. :D

Hey everyone, I'm Matt, the resident systems admin of the group.
First I'd like to thank all of you for the warm welcome you've given myself and everyone else associated with the show.
We're so damned exciting to be here, and we're working to bring you the best technolust we possibly can, every single week!
Thanks again,
Matt

Here is the bio that is supposed to be on Hak5.org:
Rob Fuller has been breaking computers and cheating pc games since the age of Oregon Trail where he got in trouble at school for having a million dollars at the end of his journey. Never quite fitting inside a box at 6'4'' his time in the United States Marine Corps has left him deadly in and out of cyberspace. Rob now spends his time as a penetration tester in the Washington D.C. Metro Area

Welcome all of you, Hak.5 lady and guys!
There are 2 ladies :), just seems that Rev3's current CMS doesn't support being able to have the whole cast on it.

We actually have a few ladies who come on various episodes, but aren't on every one. Hopefully we can get the other lady to join us soon!

Shannon is da bomb- and half the reason I watch... :) She holds her own, and can tell she's genuinely interested in (most) of whats going on... She was awesome @ CES - Plus her own tech stuff is cool... Relax dude - this ain't Broadcast TV (yet!) -
Welcome and GL to all -

No, that is her mom! Would you believe she is (deleted). I mean 29 years old. You are just a couple of years younger than my daughter from what I gather. That blue dress this week. Whoa... Who ever gets to be with you will be in heaven. I could not watch the episode. It must be a full moon today.....

Is anyone else creeped out by computoman?
computoman - you post a random stalkercam photo of your "wife", you claim that snubs looks like your daughter, and then you say:
"That blue dress this week. Whoa... Who ever gets to be with you will be in heaven. I could not watch the episode. It must be a full moon today....."
Soooo...do we need to call the authorities?

I love the show as it is introducing me to something that I have always wanted to get into. Ive had way too many sam adams tonight and I was trying to format a usb pen drive in linux(which Im no pro at) and instead formatted my ssd drive which held my windows 7 widh reduced me into fits of laughter. Keep up the good work
