PHP Twitter Tamagotchi and ROFLcon
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 running time 33:37
Hot off the heels of ROFLcon in NYC the crew kicks some in studio technolust. 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.
When we were first approached to attend ROFLthing in NYC we were asked if we could put together some sort of interactive media installation for the after party. My first thought was a web controlled paintball gun similar to the USB Missile launcher but, well, the lawyers didn't think it was a good idea.
So I started thinking about the whole ROFLthing concept, it's a congregation of Internet celebrities and web 2.0 kids. And what better way to showcase the usefulness of a service like twitter with the uselessness of that clever little electronic pet the tamagotchi.
The project is split up into three parts. First a directory full of videos that weíll control from the web using VLC, PHP and Curl. I made my tamagotchi videos using Photoshop and Vegas.
Second we need to be able to control VLC from the command line so fire up VLC and point it at your directory of videos with the --intf=http, --fullscreen and ñrepeat parameters. Now we can browse to http://127.0.0.1:8080 to hit the local http interface. Check out the /old/ directory to get the old interface. Here we find the parameters to post to the http server using curl. Try changing the item number from the command line with curl 127.0.0.1:8080/old/ -d control=play -d item=5 ñG. Adjust accordingly.
Now that weíve got VLC playing a directory of videos fullscreen and we can control it from the command line its time to duct tape together some PHP. In order to easily query Twitter for input Iím using the MagpieRSS class to parse the feed of a search query from search.twitter.com. A case and switch statement within a while loop does all of the magic, checking the input and making a system call to curl.
It may not be beautiful code but it works and for a few hours of hacking Iím somewhat proud of it. Especially considering how rusty my code is. Now Iím sure it could be replaced with 8 lines of perl so I welcome your constructive criticism on the forums where youíll find the full source code.
Iím sure now that youíre loaded with these techniques you can find all sorts of uses for parts of this project.
Thanks for downloading. Remember you can find subscription links and our new iTunes HD feed at hak5.org.
Keep the constructive feedbacks coming, we've seen a lot of great stuff lately on the forums so thanks for that.
Don't forget we've got brand new sticker packs as thanks for your donations at www.hak5.org/stickers. We really appreciate your support!
February 6-8 we'll be in DC for Shmoocon
If you're in the area we'll be attending the anual podcasters meetup come out meet the crew and lots of other great podcasters from PaulDotCom, Securabit, Sploitcast, Cyber Speak, Security Justice and more.

" Wow."
" This week's episode of cat five is brought to you by HP media smart server powered by Microsoft's windows home server. GoDaddy. Netflix. And brandy adults shredder. Now version 2.0."
" Hello welcome to Hak5 -- weekly this technolust. And there. I met and -- And we have an awesome show you guys tonight we've got an interview with with a -- jello. From Revision 3 they had conscious young man Jim lot of back are as we'd like here -- day as JO and talking about all sorts of like new Internet television stuff like not Europe and the awful on. In New York City this weekend to -- not and they -- the heads at rock. See what's going on there there are a lot more people anticipate all of that this -- like -- out. And -- a lot of Internet people like exactly is that there was Tron guy and there was the guys from the east side of voters who you -- you -- did you did you version they were trying to. He didn't Shannon. Yeah. That's gone up on the left side you had to do that well you said his suit was fall apart. It's and said that now I also -- most of that here. -- well apparently he he needs money for his suit and he has plane so column yet that's cool. And -- very -- changes again I'm blind I gadget templates and acts on the all the whole -- and -- Microsoft how would you it certainly explain the funny thing was is you know you and I watched a video on that the making of the next flight simulator like they were already working on it they had huge boards full of ideas -- a message that they. Just a quick you know how some companies public a non compete thing and how legal they are but it's like you camp for three years after you work for us. Do the same thing you'd like to take but that's all the work announce that the last ten years that's all I know you tell me I can't go work for another flights in Korea to give you quit five minutes and that you can't work on another -- you -- anyway whatever. -- so. Well -- we actually have a the content this deficit in addition to be interviewed him. I'm going to be explained you guys what this is this is atomic got C. I'm tying in with Twitter -- got some PHP code you guys from with the you'll see back and you can allow it we're supposed to use it for -- All right. Those bastards is over that. And Rocketboom never showed up with a projector so yeah -- would pretty much called and they're like oh yep by the way we're on our way back to Boston. Oh so I'll I'll edit it man allotment. The pilot who will -- that was an easy yes. Could have friends that will take into the studio just gotta give John. Yes a that we we. Spent pretty much the better part of the weekend in Hoboken and yet. There you -- the chicken out -- else. And -- stage and you and I got to sitting Conan O'Brien's chair outlined behind his desk physical. Zone and if this is little star on the on the on the has CAA's indictment of mark and I. To Edward coatings. I was pretty epic -- I don't stop gambling that puts we know pictures with the knobs from carpet. Yet -- I -- tradition we've got -- some got a shot of how crazy either network. Ceilings are -- it's ridiculous. Some days anyway. So -- what's going on with who and parties. I Lan party is coming up this week."
" Actually on Saturday Saturday January papers -- battlefield -- and you completely as a threat yet to dye -- five dollars so. Definitely join in the game as am pretty excited. And I you can -- these days if you haven't yet like me sorry. And definitely get it us. And I -- want to thank our sponsors. HP media smart server powered by Microsoft's windows home server.

" No little bit of us from an action on off on some. Time investigate. And."
" Allen were approached by the whole -- awful thing people about coming up and doing the event that things that they asked -- to do is he would put together some sort of interactive media installation for the after party. A hot. Hall table -- he better than ninety in the technology of that is -- missile launcher and put paint balls and it. And in the lawyers -- and here's Ian idea so what we ended up with was harnessing the amazing power that is Twitter and finally using it for what it's intended to. And that is to control atomic got G. We all remember this loved little digital pets. I'm really gonna use this as an example -- guys and -- techniques that you can view I'm particularly using PHP. And deals he is my. As my delivery mechanism but I'm sure you guys might learn something."
" So let's get right into it this is really where it all begins at got a video folder here full of -- these CDS and it created just using Photoshop and a little bit of Sunday's action. And this is cute little character here in the making do different things like you. -- And so are. Can they can sleep so like that so great I at a time we got T. How to control. So."
" One of people to be able to tweak something and then have a program that would just like look for special suites and then tell. DLC my presentation mechanism to change the video clips. The coolest thing about he'll see is that it has and HTTP interface and -- that allows you control what's being displayed. Over the web."
" So if -- come down here and that. So the first part of this is. This commander here's how I discussed our PLC and I'm gonna point at this -- here where my videos are and attack interface HTTP. The full screen and then I want to three. Gonna go ahead and do that right. And it fires up and here's my little -- got -- and he's just doing whatever the first that he analysis he's gone blank here and that's video number one idol blink if I head over to. The HTTP interface -- want to seven I don't know one it by default on port."
" 8080 and it's a beautiful little interface here but the problem is everything is in -- JavaScript. It's all web 2.0 it's beautiful but I can't really easily interact with -- from the command -- want to do and this is the great thing about realty is -- kept. The -- duplicated. HTTP interface in the packaging -- slash old. And we've got about different interfaces is the old interface. And what we see here is the play -- I just specified directors I was gonna put everything to be the eyes. In this play less and the hover over these are concede down here in the bottom left that. That what it's really gonna do if I click."
" On this battle cry here is it's going to pass. That tremor control equals play and I didn't equals six great so I can do the same thing and analysts think this is still playing yet still playing here. So I can -- command prompt here. And he's sitting there doing his thing it's -- video let's see let's tell him that he needs to fight so that would be. Control equals play an item equals eleven. So in my prompt here. -- going to use curl. And Corel is just a command line. Program that'll allow you to do that it had a web pages and stuff. It's similar to W guess I'll have links to more information Morocco but suffice it to say we say curl with -- have desert lizard one. That's where web servers on port 8080 slash old. And -- detect the options they control. Equals play. And attacked the option -- in the equals eleven -- G and whatever. It's great. So -- hadn't does that and I -- a video changes I've got little."
" Kind of like writing you inspired comic actually action. So now the question is how we going to take this an extended to the web and this is where I start to my my its my programming -- a little bit. Nasty but that's okay follow along in feel free to criticize -- in the forms but we're gonna start abusing -- that twitter.com. So let's come over here to thirst that's clear com I've gone ahead and created -- careful Rolf that's what I mean in the little creature so. I'm gonna be just looking for tweaks that -- an awful pot. And registry editors that Twitter comic at this group the result and I can also get a -- for this query in -- squeegee here's already been playing with that. So look at this well. Chrome renders it on nasty but that's beautiful RSS feed otherwise. And I can pull that can pull that back RSS feed using a beautiful little PHP class called -- he RSS. And -- Garces disease and lot of different open source applications. Most notably word press to handle all of its RSS features. So let me take a look at the code here. All we have to do to and bill Mac Garces the nature that we have the package directory in the freeware that is and then do require once here. For the and then I -- to other things down here that make this work and that is to tell -- your assess not to cash anything you see if we were to -- stuff then. We really wouldn't get your result every tongue pulled the RSS feed and more than our Twitter atomic Archie really wouldn't be done much good would it on so that have got a little loop county here I used to -- To do some idol stuff. And everything pretty much lives inside of this wild here this while loop is just gonna do whatever it it's gonna do all this stuff. As until of course the -- title of the RSS the parameters that are pass a Twitter Q well is -- exit asterisk that's like to kill command right. So then down here all the really have to do with -- he is these couple lines down here which say okay this is bureau of what I want to Corey and that's. Like -- should use the the RSS feed from answers to Twitter. And then were only looking for the first item and this is the idol thing that day -- ideas about it if here if the -- count is over thirty. To go ahead and randomly pick a new action -- had -- what I envision what this would going to be projected on the wall after party. And if somebody Woodard and important to eat. Adamantly want him to stuff in his face until -- cast so I said after thirty which would be about five minutes because -- loop this. With a 102 sleep. Then then it would go here and just use are indeed to a as phones aren't the -- you -- Anderson -- randomly in between those two and then based on that I'll tell Tom got to him. But really all that comes down here where I go through and night you know parse the RSS and and just using a switch in case here's switch being. Dollar title that is the variable for what I actually receive from twitters the the RSS it's. In -- that you -- title description -- that the public statements like that. Really what we're interested is title and we say hey case if -- awful -- if the case is robot dance. Then I want you to pass this -- system. To pass this -- This you know and densities -- in the command prompt and tell it you know Catholic with play an item equals ten and I've gone ahead and nature's course bond. All of the different. Item numbers with all of the different actions that I wanted to do and -- got a couple you know this is is really down and dirty I'm not even notes -- uses different case. It's not going to really respond well with this that's in the public and upper case the Indians I didn't bother going and making it pretty country guys couldn't forms. And then we reset my Luke -- because it's gone and done its thing. And that's pretty much and I just got have a another case and break border every action he does it's about a dozen little actions. And and then at the end here -- just sleep for ten seconds I do it again I increase the -- and and that's it. So. You know that is basically it's just combination of videos. Mobiles he with the HTTP and her face and PHP is in the -- you RSS and then just he's insistent and -- tells URL. To press the button over on the old PLC in her -- and now we can."
" Are actively play with our Thomas -- to dot org and start them up here again. Actually close the deal sea interface that to do is coming yearn to -- page. Tell you'll see to shut down and that what had happened and then start him again. -- itself. Gonna pretend he's full screen for just a moment and I'll bring up my Twitter and and NSA. -- full blocked. Hoops to nails brawl full bot fail. In the tweak that from my resume my god -- WTF account. They go back here in my PHP books I need to invoke my PHP. Oops. Arts have got that running and."
" So anyway to go to PT we just -- PHP. With the file rather than actually going to it like from a web -- we just didn't look from the command line and has what looks like it just sits here. And says oh account fail and zero and it's gonna wait ten seconds and then it's gonna. Keep going going until you know either somebody else -- that CDs and indifferent or five minutes goes by and then randomly select something else to do so there we go. We have Tommy got -- that is failing just as ethically as my code so if you guys would like to check up the source code it is up on the forms iPod dot org such forms. I welcome your criticism. And I hope you. You know picked up something from this so you know -- some feedback -- here what you guys think of epic code. So now we are and it's gonna go ahead kick back every Chan who was going on Lan party before we talked."
" Gen -- last week's trivia wise. During initial RDP key exchanges the server sends the client certificate. Where's the certificate stored in this -- correctly answered I'd be asleep. Who wrote in with the correct registry keys and we are going to send these sleep when a dual cores albums -- album called Los reality. It's one of my favorite CDs I love it and if you want to check out dual cores music you can go to dual core music dot com. And how I also like to say that if you want to enter into our trivia this week. You can just -- these little clues that you see around the episode and -- into -- trivia page which is Hak5 dot org slash trivia. And if you hit that right in the first 24 hours from when this episode post. You may get a chance it. Get whatever very cool giveaways. For next week. And last but not least I would like to thank our sponsor GoDaddy get reliable secure web hosting without the long term contracts. Good Eddie's hosting plans are bigger and better than ever with 99% of time street 247 support and no annual commitment. Plus as a fan of Hak5 you can get your own dot com domain for 749. When you check out using the code HJK history. Next step I think we're gonna be talked into mr. -- though but. --"
" You just recently -- whole bunch of television. Conferences -- what's the field there. So these are a lot of guys from the cable world -- the old world. And they're trying to figure out what's gonna happen to them as their businesses go away it's of their people from broadcast and cable and they're that are that life is tough for them because less and less people are watching more and more ad dollars it was over the Internet. And even a lot of people still watch broadcast a lot of people want cable that's what -- and the last people watch lost money mimic. So was going to be their final them they're final doom. I you know I see them going away I completely all of them but I think what we'll see is fewer of them. And more choices so the big cable that's still going to be yes PM always going to be an ESPN even if you pay five bucks from upstream and over the Internet the most obvious you know. But some of the smaller marginal cable networks I would worry about so. Enough they mean it's -- well liked the wisdom network or the hallmark channel. But but isn't that what this is all about is that we can scratch these little niches how is that any different on cable well on cable you look at your expenses you've got to get satellite transponders is gonna shoot your signal up into the sky and doctor -- got to pay big money to. You know tagged a bounty hunter whoever they've got going on there. The Internet yes your distribution costs are lower and you can actually do smaller niche as profitably wipers are doing he TV. It certainly is cable conferences in two days ago tech conferences is gonna cable conferences. And this -- would always come up. And his like would they take the Mike during Q and a sessions deserts are talking about the puppy to like. I'm doing a pop each monopoly on cable that's all -- all the time this is of course before YouTube. Now this was before yeah before while Internet video was like 860. By 360 -- step five frames a second. So he couldn't be on the Internet but the -- channel is an ideal for the Internet because you can put it out you can stream it. And people are gonna watch and you know what's the number one thing of people are watching on the home page you stream if that stupid dog. Yeah others -- puppies and -- love with I don't think he's gonna give money to buy him down well and you know you guys you've got to catch your basement you have fifty people watching not. It's to that a little more elaborate than a visit to thank you happen. You know cat house. That that's what we are now calling it the cast Mac has just in ring so on youth and the Nvidia needs to -- Are we you've been recently talking on your blog about the dirty little secrets in numbers you want to share anything with me about that. Yeah well. So here's what happens. The when you watch a television program on TV or you know got Nielsen and they tell whether you right watched or not. On line there's a group called the IAB which is that advertising standard word for web sites and measurement all that and our view of video online you count it according I'd be if you watch it for three seconds and here's what happens -- people are doing so. Auto website and you go to any web site the video auto plays notes so annoying all of them starts auto playing and you know you may go because you want to find a recipe here you'll find news -- you want to get some particular piece of hacking war. But also a little videos auto play really don't know where it is and get a search around for it may -- down below the fold. -- by the time you find that make the stupid things shut up more than three seconds have gone by. And that's a view that's a video view. So they're -- there recordings videos out like we've got five million views a month. You'll because they're auto playing on a site that it's five million page views Sibley who actually counties in the morning the sites that count three seconds is have you. Everybody. Lately YouTube. Revver. And blip. -- there's so many of them now. Yes absolutely that's the all of them because that's the IB standard -- I was. Talking to one site you'll remain nameless one of these sharing sites I was sorry about the 32 rule and they said uh oh I just I on the view when somebody clicks play. That we -- three seconds so the reason why I think this is a problem is because. If you have a sponsor and advertiser in there and they have to show up you know in the latter part of the video you know anywhere that's not the first three seconds. There you're you're claiming to them that -- their when they haven't. What that means is that I may go to you let's say your. Samsung and even advertise on one of our shows -- music. I wanna get I want my -- seen a million times elect okay. All do it and if it's just that three seconds of people -- the message the response is going to be terrible. The look at that they'll say. This Internet video stuff just doesn't work and -- market people come from a website about selling any thing and I'm just not gonna supported it. But we're anti -- downloads here we're talking about the flash player that's embedded in the web site a flash isn't isn't this technology because we get all sorts of interest he -- about when the drop off was and and all sorts of interest in things that pupils playing habits. So don't we know if they -- down three seconds yes we do. Yeah we still -- you. That's what the IB says have you as an and there of Indians they're the standard. You know advertising were so there's a there's a lot of that the the upshot -- it is and it's not just the 32 rule was a lot of funny business going on with Internet views. And what we've found as we talked to various different people is that. When we talked people they tell us what their views originally kind of by about. By a factor for -- month ago actually there really -- like multiplying her -- by one point five. It's a bit like idea. Get to use an analogy anyways so. You've also been talking about its beach and and and that in what do these metrics -- what's gonna so here's why people want those numbers to be so high because advertisers typically by. Ads based on political reach and frequencies have reached means how many people -- so and frequency is how often do they see that message that's why. If you watch football or sports you've seen probably more cores like commercials and every once in your life. Because they want to reach all the football fans and they want of that message rate to their head over and over again. Trouble with -- Internet video is because. If the numbers are not as high as people claiming it isn't as big as traditional television doesn't have that reach. Now if you have a core group 100000 viewers or somewhere around there you can certainly -- with frequency over and over again but if you can't hit a 1000002000010. Million people. That's what that's what the advertisers traditionally want so that's why some of the spotting number business I think is happening. But what we found is when it comes Internet video. There's a third dimensions -- you remember your old high school mathematics are you via Xbox in the Y axis. There's a Z axis which is depth of experience that when you look at on a banner on the web. You know -- a depth of experience all in one -- about the other. When you see a 32 -- television typically UC but you know it may if it's funny it'll make you -- to sort of making huge can't do that much -- fifteen -- thirty seconds. I mean but. With Internet video and you know this when you -- the sponsorship. Your fans love you guys they watched the you guys are allowed let's not go too far paint the Mondale. Okay while there they they trust you. And they believe -- you. And they enjoy watching in spending time with you guys so when you guys are any of the Internet video programs that we do do sponsorships. There's a depth of experience where they trust you and even though it's really clear that the sponsorship and yes there's a quid pro -- these guys are paying so that we can put these shows on the air. That time spent with those products or services whether it's go to the Budweiser or whatever it is. Is much deeper and there's a factor that because you guys are talking about it the audience is more likely to wake up and be like well attention that at least I've. May not ever buy -- but at least all."
" I'll call call hero now so so what are some of the factors he used to measure -- A couple of different things of its its hard to measure Alba. But. How long is how long. Is the spot know much to it to to the talk about the product but also you can look at mentions on Twitter or FaceBook or other social -- deceit. It conversations starting in this its continuing so we do this a lot of times where will. You know look at a brand on the show so. And then will distract conversations -- to see if that conversation -- was -- and the -- laws so. You know whatever it is we know that when people people are watching it on poverty nation or Tekzilla or whatever. They are then talk about their experience with the brand and sharing it with their fraudulent. Now the question everybody's mind when it is the -- lot of action coming. Well. You know it's kind of hard to run a company announcement but -- deals for the -- and resist I don't know what we'll see that but I did just get this this is but it's actually -- come all the time because this is -- XT -- camera that I got I bought it myself to this -- flip this note Kodak. It's Kodak and it's HD and -- you know it's got a little the little pop -- USB. I'm still playing around like you don't want to do this and -- that HD but so I figure I'm just gonna do it any time so this is that it's the beginning of the you little little MySpace -- action going on more like -- to -- experts is so he gets their light streaming. Yeah out of eastern in my life and it stereo and again allied Justine thing stuff I think you would look great with that with a camera -- your forehead part of Jim's got his I had gear on. I am ready to light cast -- grade are you gonna go let's catch you by any bureaucrat. Yeah and I'll be able to use this as a records like expensive. Perfect. Ten."
" Marrying guys and hand them out wraps it up for this episode of Hak5. We do your question for you and we also have some information about the next convention that we're going to you. But first of all I want to thank our sponsor Netflix. With Netflix you can -- over 90000 titles online including lots of Blu-ray titles with free shipping both ways T here home. They now have over forty shipping centers almost all deliveries happened in just one business day. Netflix plans start at point 99 and as a new member you can get no risk two week free trial membership. You can get that that www. Netflix.com slash Hak5 and please don't forget the WWW. And I question. -- rights to -- back at Hak5 board if you ask questions as well. -- wait to change the IP address of the windows command line. Noise."
" The game you're going to know GG IP address of windows. From the command line kind of similar to the way we do it over on -- like I have -- one yes. I think a lot of people are familiar with using IP can cakes to be released in renewed you do DH CP. The you can actually specify an IP address. From the command line using net essays so I've got links in the show notes to the exact commands and whatnot. The medicine to the great little utility you can you can specify your IP address -- can you can configure your firewall so this is a great little pool that if you're doing systems administration want to roll -- and do -- keys. -- scripting on that SH is the way to do it thank you for the question answer that would be pretty. What can go through."
" Like a re IP your entire network and creates a script the auto increment."
" And then it you know. I need to do this just realized someone a 192 need to move my company over to a 172 or attend that something right and I could just put a batch script. That would say at the stroke of midnight on this date. They account and then I've got everything already maps that are good from."
" All. You know housing going to work because -- that's scripted -- you know the day and in. War war schedule with act -- specify multiple computers. Ruler that's all computers beforehand that this is scheduled tasks you type rats days whatever time -- this thing in and you -- this. Change the that's. What you're specifying -- in this great. You're rolling out multiple computers. Now can you force an update. Wall you can name and address for months but the commitment that Apple it's done after it's done. All right so why that he. Yeah that's mine -- And I can't think you -- downloading patches that I want to remind you guys we have subscription links the technolust automatically delivered to you all body guys. Using it to 2% in the iTunes. When he percent of which on Macs and -- check it out and with -- 6% -- You know when its users aren't onto users' them to use -- up in -- house lack where to represent. The first element. Three it's like six inch floppies. So. -- consistently these guys out if you want to both -- you go ahead subscribe that links them. On Hak5 dot org -- eat the so check that out also -- constructive criticism going because you know we like they would instantly tweak things like do you guys think so glad that -- the last."
" So episodes the last couple episodes have been absolutely phenomenal monthly gas for all stuff that you've been saying. Yeah not you know this crazy idea -- do the cooking yeah good cooking and the walls the walls will be getting. A little bit spruce you know we kind had time to throw together."
" It's a crazy time for us now reviewing a conference at the conference after conference as soon as we're done with you on I think things are finally gonna like it came back here ha yeah anyway it's. Speeds have gone. Yes so we will be next Yukon February 6 at the eight. We will be in DC at the merit award men and as always the annual podcasters meter is doing on -- all the details over podcasters meet -- dot com. We invite you to come out and yes it's totally open for everybody so you don't have ticket coupons that you are in the area like a meet up it's going to be us as well as Paul -- dot com.

In New York City this weekend to -- not and they -- the heads at rock. See what's going on there there are a lot more people anticipate all of that this -- like -- out. And -- a lot of Internet people like exactly is that there was Tron guy and there was the guys from the east side of voters who you -- you -- did you did you version they were trying to. He didn't Shannon. Yeah. That's gone up on the left side you had to do that well you said his suit was fall apart. It's and said that now I also -- most of that here. -- well apparently he he needs money for his suit and he has plane so column yet that's cool. And -- very -- changes again I'm blind I gadget templates and acts on the all the whole -- and -- Microsoft how would you it certainly explain the funny thing was is you know you and I watched a video on that the making of the next flight simulator like they were already working on it they had huge boards full of ideas -- a message that they. Just a quick you know how some companies public a non compete thing and how legal they are but it's like you camp for three years after you work for us. Do the same thing you'd like to take but that's all the work announce that the last ten years that's all I know you tell me I can't go work for another flights in Korea to give you quit five minutes and that you can't work on another -- you -- anyway whatever. -- so. Well -- we actually have a the content this deficit in addition to be interviewed him. I'm going to be explained you guys what this is this is atomic got C. I'm tying in with Twitter -- got some PHP code you guys from with the you'll see back and you can allow it we're supposed to use it for -- All right. Those bastards is over that. And Rocketboom never showed up with a projector so yeah -- would pretty much called and they're like oh yep by the way we're on our way back to Boston. Oh so I'll I'll edit it man allotment. The pilot who will -- that was an easy yes. Could have friends that will take into the studio just gotta give John. Yes a that we we. Spent pretty much the better part of the weekend in Hoboken and yet. There you -- the chicken out -- else. And -- stage and you and I got to sitting Conan O'Brien's chair outlined behind his desk physical. Zone and if this is little star on the on the on the has CAA's indictment of mark and I. To Edward coatings. I was pretty epic -- I don't stop gambling that puts we know pictures with the knobs from carpet. Yet -- I -- tradition we've got -- some got a shot of how crazy either network. Ceilings are -- it's ridiculous. Some days anyway. So -- what's going on with who and parties. I Lan party is coming up this week."
" Actually on Saturday Saturday January papers -- battlefield -- and you completely as a threat yet to dye -- five dollars so. Definitely join in the game as am pretty excited. And I you can -- these days if you haven't yet like me sorry. And definitely get it us. And I -- want to thank our sponsors. HP media smart server powered by Microsoft's windows home server.

" No little bit of us from an action on off on some. Time investigate. And."
" Allen were approached by the whole -- awful thing people about coming up and doing the event that things that they asked -- to do is he would put together some sort of interactive media installation for the after party. A hot. Hall table -- he better than ninety in the technology of that is -- missile launcher and put paint balls and it. And in the lawyers -- and here's Ian idea so what we ended up with was harnessing the amazing power that is Twitter and finally using it for what it's intended to. And that is to control atomic got G. We all remember this loved little digital pets. I'm really gonna use this as an example -- guys and -- techniques that you can view I'm particularly using PHP. And deals he is my. As my delivery mechanism but I'm sure you guys might learn something."
" So let's get right into it this is really where it all begins at got a video folder here full of -- these CDS and it created just using Photoshop and a little bit of Sunday's action. And this is cute little character here in the making do different things like you. -- And so are. Can they can sleep so like that so great I at a time we got T. How to control. So."
" One of people to be able to tweak something and then have a program that would just like look for special suites and then tell. DLC my presentation mechanism to change the video clips. The coolest thing about he'll see is that it has and HTTP interface and -- that allows you control what's being displayed. Over the web."
" So if -- come down here and that. So the first part of this is. This commander here's how I discussed our PLC and I'm gonna point at this -- here where my videos are and attack interface HTTP. The full screen and then I want to three. Gonna go ahead and do that right. And it fires up and here's my little -- got -- and he's just doing whatever the first that he analysis he's gone blank here and that's video number one idol blink if I head over to. The HTTP interface -- want to seven I don't know one it by default on port."
" 8080 and it's a beautiful little interface here but the problem is everything is in -- JavaScript. It's all web 2.0 it's beautiful but I can't really easily interact with -- from the command -- want to do and this is the great thing about realty is -- kept. The -- duplicated. HTTP interface in the packaging -- slash old. And we've got about different interfaces is the old interface. And what we see here is the play -- I just specified directors I was gonna put everything to be the eyes. In this play less and the hover over these are concede down here in the bottom left that. That what it's really gonna do if I click."
" On this battle cry here is it's going to pass. That tremor control equals play and I didn't equals six great so I can do the same thing and analysts think this is still playing yet still playing here. So I can -- command prompt here. And he's sitting there doing his thing it's -- video let's see let's tell him that he needs to fight so that would be. Control equals play an item equals eleven. So in my prompt here. -- going to use curl. And Corel is just a command line. Program that'll allow you to do that it had a web pages and stuff. It's similar to W guess I'll have links to more information Morocco but suffice it to say we say curl with -- have desert lizard one. That's where web servers on port 8080 slash old. And -- detect the options they control. Equals play. And attacked the option -- in the equals eleven -- G and whatever. It's great. So -- hadn't does that and I -- a video changes I've got little."
" Kind of like writing you inspired comic actually action. So now the question is how we going to take this an extended to the web and this is where I start to my my its my programming -- a little bit. Nasty but that's okay follow along in feel free to criticize -- in the forms but we're gonna start abusing -- that twitter.com. So let's come over here to thirst that's clear com I've gone ahead and created -- careful Rolf that's what I mean in the little creature so. I'm gonna be just looking for tweaks that -- an awful pot. And registry editors that Twitter comic at this group the result and I can also get a -- for this query in -- squeegee here's already been playing with that. So look at this well. Chrome renders it on nasty but that's beautiful RSS feed otherwise. And I can pull that can pull that back RSS feed using a beautiful little PHP class called -- he RSS. And -- Garces disease and lot of different open source applications. Most notably word press to handle all of its RSS features. So let me take a look at the code here. All we have to do to and bill Mac Garces the nature that we have the package directory in the freeware that is and then do require once here. For the and then I -- to other things down here that make this work and that is to tell -- your assess not to cash anything you see if we were to -- stuff then. We really wouldn't get your result every tongue pulled the RSS feed and more than our Twitter atomic Archie really wouldn't be done much good would it on so that have got a little loop county here I used to -- To do some idol stuff. And everything pretty much lives inside of this wild here this while loop is just gonna do whatever it it's gonna do all this stuff. As until of course the -- title of the RSS the parameters that are pass a Twitter Q well is -- exit asterisk that's like to kill command right. So then down here all the really have to do with -- he is these couple lines down here which say okay this is bureau of what I want to Corey and that's. Like -- should use the the RSS feed from answers to Twitter. And then were only looking for the first item and this is the idol thing that day -- ideas about it if here if the -- count is over thirty. To go ahead and randomly pick a new action -- had -- what I envision what this would going to be projected on the wall after party. And if somebody Woodard and important to eat. Adamantly want him to stuff in his face until -- cast so I said after thirty which would be about five minutes because -- loop this. With a 102 sleep. Then then it would go here and just use are indeed to a as phones aren't the -- you -- Anderson -- randomly in between those two and then based on that I'll tell Tom got to him. But really all that comes down here where I go through and night you know parse the RSS and and just using a switch in case here's switch being. Dollar title that is the variable for what I actually receive from twitters the the RSS it's. In -- that you -- title description -- that the public statements like that. Really what we're interested is title and we say hey case if -- awful -- if the case is robot dance. Then I want you to pass this -- system. To pass this -- This you know and densities -- in the command prompt and tell it you know Catholic with play an item equals ten and I've gone ahead and nature's course bond. All of the different. Item numbers with all of the different actions that I wanted to do and -- got a couple you know this is is really down and dirty I'm not even notes -- uses different case. It's not going to really respond well with this that's in the public and upper case the Indians I didn't bother going and making it pretty country guys couldn't forms. And then we reset my Luke -- because it's gone and done its thing. And that's pretty much and I just got have a another case and break border every action he does it's about a dozen little actions. And and then at the end here -- just sleep for ten seconds I do it again I increase the -- and and that's it. So. You know that is basically it's just combination of videos. Mobiles he with the HTTP and her face and PHP is in the -- you RSS and then just he's insistent and -- tells URL. To press the button over on the old PLC in her -- and now we can."
" Are actively play with our Thomas -- to dot org and start them up here again. Actually close the deal sea interface that to do is coming yearn to -- page. Tell you'll see to shut down and that what had happened and then start him again. -- itself. Gonna pretend he's full screen for just a moment and I'll bring up my Twitter and and NSA. -- full blocked. Hoops to nails brawl full bot fail. In the tweak that from my resume my god -- WTF account. They go back here in my PHP books I need to invoke my PHP. Oops. Arts have got that running and."
" So anyway to go to PT we just -- PHP. With the file rather than actually going to it like from a web -- we just didn't look from the command line and has what looks like it just sits here. And says oh account fail and zero and it's gonna wait ten seconds and then it's gonna. Keep going going until you know either somebody else -- that CDs and indifferent or five minutes goes by and then randomly select something else to do so there we go. We have Tommy got -- that is failing just as ethically as my code so if you guys would like to check up the source code it is up on the forms iPod dot org such forms. I welcome your criticism. And I hope you. You know picked up something from this so you know -- some feedback -- here what you guys think of epic code. So now we are and it's gonna go ahead kick back every Chan who was going on Lan party before we talked."
" Gen -- last week's trivia wise. During initial RDP key exchanges the server sends the client certificate. Where's the certificate stored in this -- correctly answered I'd be asleep. Who wrote in with the correct registry keys and we are going to send these sleep when a dual cores albums -- album called Los reality.

" You just recently -- whole bunch of television. Conferences -- what's the field there. So these are a lot of guys from the cable world -- the old world. And they're trying to figure out what's gonna happen to them as their businesses go away it's of their people from broadcast and cable and they're that are that life is tough for them because less and less people are watching more and more ad dollars it was over the Internet. And even a lot of people still watch broadcast a lot of people want cable that's what -- and the last people watch lost money mimic. So was going to be their final them they're final doom. I you know I see them going away I completely all of them but I think what we'll see is fewer of them. And more choices so the big cable that's still going to be yes PM always going to be an ESPN even if you pay five bucks from upstream and over the Internet the most obvious you know. But some of the smaller marginal cable networks I would worry about so. Enough they mean it's -- well liked the wisdom network or the hallmark channel. But but isn't that what this is all about is that we can scratch these little niches how is that any different on cable well on cable you look at your expenses you've got to get satellite transponders is gonna shoot your signal up into the sky and doctor -- got to pay big money to. You know tagged a bounty hunter whoever they've got going on there. The Internet yes your distribution costs are lower and you can actually do smaller niche as profitably wipers are doing he TV. It certainly is cable conferences in two days ago tech conferences is gonna cable conferences. And this -- would always come up. And his like would they take the Mike during Q and a sessions deserts are talking about the puppy to like. I'm doing a pop each monopoly on cable that's all -- all the time this is of course before YouTube. Now this was before yeah before while Internet video was like 860. By 360 -- step five frames a second. So he couldn't be on the Internet but the -- channel is an ideal for the Internet because you can put it out you can stream it. And people are gonna watch and you know what's the number one thing of people are watching on the home page you stream if that stupid dog. Yeah others -- puppies and -- love with I don't think he's gonna give money to buy him down well and you know you guys you've got to catch your basement you have fifty people watching not. It's to that a little more elaborate than a visit to thank you happen. You know cat house. That that's what we are now calling it the cast Mac has just in ring so on youth and the Nvidia needs to -- Are we you've been recently talking on your blog about the dirty little secrets in numbers you want to share anything with me about that. Yeah well. So here's what happens. The when you watch a television program on TV or you know got Nielsen and they tell whether you right watched or not. On line there's a group called the IAB which is that advertising standard word for web sites and measurement all that and our view of video online you count it according I'd be if you watch it for three seconds and here's what happens -- people are doing so. Auto website and you go to any web site the video auto plays notes so annoying all of them starts auto playing and you know you may go because you want to find a recipe here you'll find news -- you want to get some particular piece of hacking war. But also a little videos auto play really don't know where it is and get a search around for it may -- down below the fold. -- by the time you find that make the stupid things shut up more than three seconds have gone by. And that's a view that's a video view. So they're -- there recordings videos out like we've got five million views a month. You'll because they're auto playing on a site that it's five million page views Sibley who actually counties in the morning the sites that count three seconds is have you. Everybody. Lately YouTube. Revver. And blip. -- there's so many of them now. Yes absolutely that's the all of them because that's the IB standard -- I was. Talking to one site you'll remain nameless one of these sharing sites I was sorry about the 32 rule and they said uh oh I just I on the view when somebody clicks play. That we -- three seconds so the reason why I think this is a problem is because. If you have a sponsor and advertiser in there and they have to show up you know in the latter part of the video you know anywhere that's not the first three seconds. There you're you're claiming to them that -- their when they haven't. What that means is that I may go to you let's say your. Samsung and even advertise on one of our shows -- music. I wanna get I want my -- seen a million times elect okay. All do it and if it's just that three seconds of people -- the message the response is going to be terrible. The look at that they'll say. This Internet video stuff just doesn't work and -- market people come from a website about selling any thing and I'm just not gonna supported it. But we're anti -- downloads here we're talking about the flash player that's embedded in the web site a flash isn't isn't this technology because we get all sorts of interest he -- about when the drop off was and and all sorts of interest in things that pupils playing habits. So don't we know if they -- down three seconds yes we do. Yeah we still -- you. That's what the IB says have you as an and there of Indians they're the standard. You know advertising were so there's a there's a lot of that the the upshot -- it is and it's not just the 32 rule was a lot of funny business going on with Internet views. And what we've found as we talked to various different people is that. When we talked people they tell us what their views originally kind of by about. By a factor for -- month ago actually there really -- like multiplying her -- by one point five. It's a bit like idea. Get to use an analogy anyways so. You've also been talking about its beach and and and that in what do these metrics -- what's gonna so here's why people want those numbers to be so high because advertisers typically by. Ads based on political reach and frequencies have reached means how many people -- so and frequency is how often do they see that message that's why. If you watch football or sports you've seen probably more cores like commercials and every once in your life. Because they want to reach all the football fans and they want of that message rate to their head over and over again. Trouble with -- Internet video is because. If the numbers are not as high as people claiming it isn't as big as traditional television doesn't have that reach. Now if you have a core group 100000 viewers or somewhere around there you can certainly -- with frequency over and over again but if you can't hit a 1000002000010. Million people. That's what that's what the advertisers traditionally want so that's why some of the spotting number business I think is happening. But what we found is when it comes Internet video. There's a third dimensions -- you remember your old high school mathematics are you via Xbox in the Y axis. There's a Z axis which is depth of experience that when you look at on a banner on the web. You know -- a depth of experience all in one -- about the other. When you see a 32 -- television typically UC but you know it may if it's funny it'll make you -- to sort of making huge can't do that much -- fifteen -- thirty seconds. I mean but. With Internet video and you know this when you -- the sponsorship. Your fans love you guys they watched the you guys are allowed let's not go too far paint the Mondale. Okay while there they they trust you. And they believe -- you. And they enjoy watching in spending time with you guys so when you guys are any of the Internet video programs that we do do sponsorships. There's a depth of experience where they trust you and even though it's really clear that the sponsorship and yes there's a quid pro -- these guys are paying so that we can put these shows on the air. That time spent with those products or services whether it's go to the Budweiser or whatever it is. Is much deeper and there's a factor that because you guys are talking about it the audience is more likely to wake up and be like well attention that at least I've. May not ever buy -- but at least all."
" I'll call call hero now so so what are some of the factors he used to measure -- A couple of different things of its its hard to measure Alba. But. How long is how long. Is the spot know much to it to to the talk about the product but also you can look at mentions on Twitter or FaceBook or other social -- deceit. It conversations starting in this its continuing so we do this a lot of times where will. You know look at a brand on the show so. And then will distract conversations -- to see if that conversation -- was -- and the -- laws so. You know whatever it is we know that when people people are watching it on poverty nation or Tekzilla or whatever. They are then talk about their experience with the brand and sharing it with their fraudulent. Now the question everybody's mind when it is the -- lot of action coming. Well. You know it's kind of hard to run a company announcement but -- deals for the -- and resist I don't know what we'll see that but I did just get this this is but it's actually -- come all the time because this is -- XT -- camera that I got I bought it myself to this -- flip this note Kodak. It's Kodak and it's HD and -- you know it's got a little the little pop -- USB. I'm still playing around like you don't want to do this and -- that HD but so I figure I'm just gonna do it any time so this is that it's the beginning of the you little little MySpace -- action going on more like -- to -- experts is so he gets their light streaming. Yeah out of eastern in my life and it stereo and again allied Justine thing stuff I think you would look great with that with a camera -- your forehead part of Jim's got his I had gear on. I am ready to light cast -- grade are you gonna go let's catch you by any bureaucrat. Yeah and I'll be able to use this as a records like expensive. Perfect. Ten."
" Marrying guys and hand them out wraps it up for this episode of Hak5. We do your question for you and we also have some information about the next convention that we're going to you. But first of all I want to thank our sponsor Netflix. With Netflix you can -- over 90000 titles online including lots of Blu-ray titles with free shipping both ways T here home. They now have over forty shipping centers almost all deliveries happened in just one business day. Netflix plans start at point 99 and as a new member you can get no risk two week free trial membership. You can get that that www. Netflix.com slash Hak5 and please don't forget the WWW. And I question. -- rights to -- back at Hak5 board if you ask questions as well. -- wait to change the IP address of the windows command line. Noise."
" The game you're going to know GG IP address of windows. From the command line kind of similar to the way we do it over on -- like I have -- one yes. I think a lot of people are familiar with using IP can cakes to be released in renewed you do DH CP. The you can actually specify an IP address. From the command line using net essays so I've got links in the show notes to the exact commands and whatnot. The medicine to the great little utility you can you can specify your IP address -- can you can configure your firewall so this is a great little pool that if you're doing systems administration want to roll -- and do -- keys. -- scripting on that SH is the way to do it thank you for the question answer that would be pretty. What can go through."
" Like a re IP your entire network and creates a script the auto increment."
" And then it you know. I need to do this just realized someone a 192 need to move my company over to a 172 or attend that something right and I could just put a batch script. That would say at the stroke of midnight on this date. They account and then I've got everything already maps that are good from."
" All. You know housing going to work because -- that's scripted -- you know the day and in. War war schedule with act -- specify multiple computers. Ruler that's all computers beforehand that this is scheduled tasks you type rats days whatever time -- this thing in and you -- this. Change the that's. What you're specifying -- in this great. You're rolling out multiple computers. Now can you force an update. Wall you can name and address for months but the commitment that Apple it's done after it's done. All right so why that he. Yeah that's mine -- And I can't think you -- downloading patches that I want to remind you guys we have subscription links the technolust automatically delivered to you all body guys. Using it to 2% in the iTunes. When he percent of which on Macs and -- check it out and with -- 6% -- You know when its users aren't onto users' them to use -- up in -- house lack where to represent. The first element. Three it's like six inch floppies. So. -- consistently these guys out if you want to both -- you go ahead subscribe that links them. On Hak5 dot org -- eat the so check that out also -- constructive criticism going because you know we like they would instantly tweak things like do you guys think so glad that -- the last."
" So episodes the last couple episodes have been absolutely phenomenal monthly gas for all stuff that you've been saying. Yeah not you know this crazy idea -- do the cooking yeah good cooking and the walls the walls will be getting. A little bit spruce you know we kind had time to throw together."
" It's a crazy time for us now reviewing a conference at the conference after conference as soon as we're done with you on I think things are finally gonna like it came back here ha yeah anyway it's. Speeds have gone. Yes so we will be next Yukon February 6 at the eight. We will be in DC at the merit award men and as always the annual podcasters meter is doing on -- all the details over podcasters meet -- dot com. We invite you to come out and yes it's totally open for everybody so you don't have ticket coupons that you are in the area like a meet up it's going to be us as well as Paul -- dot com. And securabit SploitCast. Cyber speaks securing justice so many more to come out check out podcasters. That the two guys."
" They're a great time last year and definitely important to do again it -- has sponsored by the way it's yeah it's actually it's actually for those of you that don't know it's actually robbed -- my place. Over room 362 dot com. Who actually puts it on we can't thank. And dubbed these guys. Yes yes you."
" and I hadn't taken that -- a better access standard. Old time and we've definitely appreciate all of your support because it's two columns and you know still need to rub it work or work making it to happen either there's been enough to -- whether it's in the premiere or -- pro because. As of recording right now. And yeah I'm not executives -- happen and it may be negative and choking and XP well. Yeah we'll figure that out but it will this episode is aged he's obviously figured out one player. Well we've got working is duct tape and strange yet. And what wrap this up."
" Well first of -- gotta give that up and give a little bit techno -- love it continued to dig grill it's to show that features the funniest viral video zone labs. This week a -- Bancroft is on vacation finally got a couple -- companies that you might now Martin Sargent Kevin Rose finally catch what they think about some of the top done videos of the week. The -- really served up weekly on Mondays at 3 PM eastern skies as usual. Her mind and gamble. To trust your tank -- CN. -- Seriously companies in the -- gets right affairs -- and involvement."
" Sweet he wrote an -- I would suspect although. Yes -- did and that we did state after we got they have right now it's their. With you know Lenovo and now here we -- pretty dropped -- ignored --"
" The consumer here in Hoboken and I decided to move. Turns out you. Four overnight -- to patent protection and Hewlett that it -- Just want to make sure that Libya with an external hard drive -- who gave you something like that it turns out after about thirteen million packets and -- cute little area here called separate packet data failed.

Episode 424 - PHP Twitter Tamagotchi and ROFLcon [Discussion]
