Build a web enabled Linux based USB missile launcher! Smart phone emulators and more!
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 running time 49:41
Take physical security to the next step by building a web enabled, Linux powered USB missile launcher and defend your hacker space (or use the laser to remotely annoy your cat). Plus smart phone emulators, custom Linux command GUIs using Usermin, USB booting and more.
The hacker zombies are back with failcocktails. Matt gets excited about the VMware ESX 4 beta screenshots. Shannon and pizza delivery? HakHouse gets a facelift including an adobe air app.
Our next deathmatch will be HalfLife 2 Deathmatch on Saturday, December 13 at game.hak5.org. Prepare to get smack in the face with a flying toilet!
Mad props to TheX1le, Post_break, applecrisp and Codedninja
Web Controlled USB Missile LauncherCan a hacker crowd source annoying their cat with frickin lasers? Darren invesigates. The Striker II USB Missile Launcher seems like the perfect platform for flying foam mayhem. After pulling his hair out trying six different control applications including Roy Solberg's Java implementation, David Wilson's mac app, mfire, Scott Weston's Python version and Luke Cole's simple C implementation, Darren finally settles on Alex Suzuki's Striker-II C++ code as the base for the soon to be web enabled app. As it turns out there is a difference in control protocol between the Striker and the Striker-II which was the root of much frustration. Jason Appelbaum came to Darren's aid and whipped up a sexy java client/server for the Striker-II. We'll have him on the show shortly! Until then Darren shows off some of the Java applet code in Eclipse and the sweet plugin JFormDesigner. You can play with the Hak5 USB Missile launcher right now over at HakHouse.com or head over to the Hak5 Forums (Look for the USB Missile Launcher board) and get involved in the development, testing, or find out how to build your own.

Cell Phone Emulators
Perfect for the holidays are cell phone emulators. Try your choice of mobile OS before you actually buy them in store so you dont get stuck with your new smartphone and a two year contract with your wireless company. Using these emulators can introduce you to many, many different smart phone OS. You can compare and choose your favorite and your least favorite easily. The ones I tried were Windows Mobile 5, Palm Centro, and Blackberry Storm emulators. All three run on different programs made by completely different people, and take a little bit of practice to learn each emulator. via Hak5 forums.

Congrats to SWFu and KirbyPPC who correctly answered last week's trivia. Answer: Death-ray.
Custom Linux commands using Webmin and Usermin
Talking about making your life easier if youíre a linux system admin I demonstratred the great and free tools Webmin and Usermin available from http://webmin.com/
Installing the package is as easy as RPM -i webmin-1.441-1.noarch.rpm Once installed goto https://yourserver.com:10000 and login with a user like root. After youíve logged in you can just start clicking through the menus and see what you can do with this great piece of software.
During the show I explained how to create custom commands and deploy them to users with the webmin addon (http://webmin.com/usermin.html).
If you have any questions, feel free to post a comment or send me an email: matt@hak5.org.

Questions
Ustreamer-28589 (if that is your real name) asks if there is a way to burn ISOs to USB drives and boot off them. The answer is a beautiful little cross platform application called UNetbootin -- the Universal Netboot Installer. This little guy rocks. It'll download the latest live ISO of many popular linux distros (including our favorites Backtrack, Gparted, and Ubuntu) and "burn" them to your removable media. Best of all you can specify your own disk images (ISO or Floppy) or specify a custom kernel! Darren swears by this app.
JennyGo asks if there is a way to put her PC into some sort of Kiosk mode running only an SNES emulator for a party she's having. She doesn't want noobs effing with her rig. Matt suggests Windows Steady State to lock down the system state but the guys turn up empty when it comes to making the machine run ONLY the SNES emulator. Darren recalls some experimental hacks like replacing shell=explorer.exe in win.ini with shell=snes9x.exe but hasn't tested this. We're looking for your input on this one so if you've got a great idea on how to lock down this box hit up at feedback@hak5.org.
Until next week we welcome your feedback and remind you to Trust your Technolust

" War. Episode of Hak5 and brought to you by that eight."
" Netflix and hack house strategic missile defense program and coming up on this episode cellphone simulators. -- house USB missile defense program. Easy the next administration with -- user and burning -- those to thumb drives running applications and kiosk mode. And much more. Unwelcome Hak5 this your weekly dose of tech analyst and we are your hackers -- leaves tonight react."
" Yeah most definitely. -- made me try. I did he drop area Margarita mix well the the muggers made episode for last really goods that he would. And mix -- up -- markets you don't mess but the good thing. They said the same thing about our show look at now. Extra. So we've some awesome stuff you guys this week as always when the -- and that's exactly the words -- and with Cisco around the room for votes and what we're doing. Starting with you because I'm -- it. Thank you yeah I think it's totally colony every time. So I. I'm biased and had to work Thursday. I'm really blows in. Yeah so I was that work upgrading some yes sex servers -- national -- that would be an excuse me yes Thanksgiving Thursday. And so it bios updates and -- sex updates and all that happy horse stuff and I come today and I find out that. The the VMware convert Vietnam beta and yes sex -- I've just been released like. There early lesson 24 hours ago today marked sought while I mean I've got a testament lab at all other so -- crime -- month. You know you know this thing. Well yeah I mean it's it's a continuation of we still haven't gotten in over -- great so just when things were -- Some days you. There at in my stuff up you know. Straits though and it was and eat out yes. While not invite him right now okay that's good. Com. I think about to -- the -- they. But but yes you know I -- feel better hopefully I -- beat of wings after the -- And but and he had an -- on Tuesday. It changes some leading efforts day. And now it's at for -- and where it's just you know -- But but now this week. This episode. Much like actually gets do service control with windows and should do custom commands. In a new industry -- Freeney you know easily installed a Whitney -- Cost clinics. Council commands who so web base there not to like throughout this is takes human bash on. Bingo you know it best -- in sports not born in -- it's something that you do with keyboard your face. -- yes yes and you had a habit of breaking them. Well anyway on that note Shannon what's gonna have their hero."
" Now Mike's today I'm going to be talking about some cell phone and the leaders -- computer. Pretty good thing for the holiday it's I think coming up you know try before you buy it. And Matt I definitely feel your pain I'm working on Thanksgiving I used to do that. Like four years and wrote pretty much we're and then pizza place so this my first here actually off. Since I started working at that I named sneak. So I feel your -- is an array."
" For PT I just don't understand how. Well -- look -- SN. Before we get into what you're doing pretty -- to and parents a structure where you crazy busy working at pizza place on Thanksgiving."
" Why do people order pizza on -- skinny like second and sting going out to restaurant. Eating Turkey at the restaurant -- and then all I wait I know why."
" The ball. That makes -- the -- the -- the I was the smart -- bachelor a couple of years ago."
" And and did great thing on yet Ed did this before like most holidays when they didn't have anywhere ago or anything do and you know articulate and house. Actors so I would the night before -- holidays like Christmas than. Thanksgiving where I think closes in gets crazy. Stock up on some bits and threatened -- they go to him. Hyper tonight and tomorrow wanna yes. So I'm playing with -- opened with toys this episode. I'm I'm going to be doing some of them people who Lou is Linux. Won't -- that lowers the Wi-Fi stuff and I'm actually going to be doing some of the hearsay and let them right now I'm playing with toys. Toys that absolutely frustrated there. Old this week and last week he went but. If you've been tuning into that 'cause you saw Tuesday night Karen pulling his hair out going it has now been eight hours and have not made any progress that has now been ten hours of no progress you know how that feels when -- trying to get a -- it's a lot different when you have a deadline -- everything has to work on Friday night. The shooting."
" It would. Is not a good -- to be living in the -- ceased and it really wasn't. While there is getting all that. Look let's just about packed house dot com that's H a KH OUST dot com it's here in the lower thirds. And we've got pretty much our entire first floor. On. -- you guys from watch it any time during the day there's audio. Chat with everybody involved inside he -- chat room. And media. Scrolling down here you can actually see. That set up that that we've got. We've got to Sony. DC -- eight C eighty fives in USB mode and we've got to monitor. Showing us the chance we can talk to you I mean -- Yesterday. I was down here now two days ago. -- came down like 2 o'clock in the morning. Because I was like any good today and I kind of thing now have a -- here apartment that I have coming down and talking with. The Internet for another hour and 45 minute."
" It's I think that might have been because like but anyway that's which he can live report -- you need to act out. Dot com even get Adobe air application guests as Jay-Z man was awesome enough to do that. So. So sports toys is another feature that will become part of the -- house. This is the second USB missile launchers and purchase now this one's actually died in his beautifully as you can see. -- the second I try to fire eight -- the application I've tried some applications at this point does this one actually -- We have been working one -- be talking about little bit later in the show. That is web enabled. -- with a webcam and do we on this website that you can go to right now and start handing them around -- out a -- student. Little -- missiles at us and this got a laser so that you can play with the cat. She went nuts over it the other night and today but did -- stepping one more entertaining things that we -- time yet for you guys. Aside from that show -- and they think that rate. The first episode for the for those that have been sticking with that in the the pilot one -- so one. When premier seconds was how would you control your household lights over yourself and -- this is really just kind of like. Another one of those on home automation things for the nice twist that is annoying my cat I think that we can do to. Crowd source -- the cat because it only four of us here we got stuff to do we can't know it 247. We need your help. So -- log on the packed house get on the."
" Missile launcher and starts to happen when we have designated times that we actually screwed the cap -- Saturday 7:37 o'clock you know whenever we're all here. But now you can you know make sure that she's older and so. And now -- who have all that info and show but jobs now are we releasing. All this stuff here like a source and source -- When the releases on Wednesday -- and some people to go buy one of these things and they can set up their -- let's not to the second fourth and basically to -- do you -- I can't wait to see. So let's get this on the role cool you know and I can't wait to do what. In my drag on in. Happen to death match. Yes that's much else that's that's -- it."
" Well. I think since we've gotten on revision -- they haven't been introduced ticker. Now they're really haven't Chinese she's been on the -- but she has not actually been on the show well. So you've taken out that this cat she doesn't like to be held. Up its its its."
" Let's -- how to move towards the -- via yeah definitely."
" But now she -- she loves it is very time while their -- it."
" Did you make equipment about that because I need to dispel this it's KE RBY not KI RB what is named after her birth via authentication mechanism. Not that little ping can be mean and yes and you know I'm I'm and then not. And that doesn't like you -- Exactly because there that it arts a Lan party let's get."
" Did this show on the road. In just a couple of weeks we're going to be playing half -- to death match."
" Prepared again dominating his and I'm all right at this game I'm pretty day I think my favorite weapon is probably across. Of course I usually test really. Anyway it's December 13. Just a couple of weeks and you can play with us at games I have five dollars. And I would like just safe think you to our spots and Netflix -- Netflix you can rent over 90000 titles online including possibly -- titles. Plus free shipping both ways to your house. They now have over forty shipping centers so almost all delivery is happening just one this Wednesday. So Netflix plans start at four dollars and 99 cents in as a young -- very you can get in no risk two week free trial membership. Check it out at www. Netflix dot com slash Hak5 and please don't forget that WWW. Next up we're gonna take a break. In -- get me some more in the strawberry crappy marina."
" So you're at your office you thought about your firewall you thought about your fire suppression systems what about your physical security system. Well here to help us with that Angeles the USB missile defense program is Daryn. Who has been banging his head against this last two weeks there."
" Yes well I got this great idea and that is let's make the -- Warner active not just you know passive viewer and chatting with. Residents but let's actually give them something to play away. Very akin to use that some of the -- in the first season so what I saw when these guys -- reflecting key here you know. Mac -- toys for for geeks like crowds. I I was like this is perfect -- Throw web webcam on it all in -- you like the old PHP Apache cell phone -- segment and then let the let Internet control it. And then minus all the striker to had lasers I was like did. Is now out part and lasers. So the idea was let's -- source annoying the cat has. Kirby let's be honest podcast -- lasers and -- And you know -- and it's fun but we get stuff to do so let's -- you guys to play with the -- for us and then you get the added bonus cute little. Missiles. So we got lasers we got missiles yet and we got -- possibly say how hard could possibly be. So let's check out these -- on there there's you actually. When he when you get one of these guys you get this awesome software here it's is so robust on the equity guys here. This software. Is as you can see that the crappy crap you -- your standard like arrow keys to move around. East this issue -- it works in -- great great. And the editors actually supposedly PI played with in C sharp. Actually two other head. To be able to help me like. Convert the C sharp happen to like -- time to get it PHP. -- and style. Not so much. So to some alternative -- lyrics right right because there's pretty active community behind these sorts of things. In the weird sort of way not any and -- that there are all in one place but everybody had seen my idea once. So one -- to look at is here -- Has a place where he's actually put together he would be. Missile launcher drivers. Four a couple of these and these are just a dime a dozen at a time there's like three or four variations of them. And that's what it was nice. Except it was not for this particular unit. So I looked at us this one. It's a Java software version four what I thought was the striker to neighbors and had. And written in Java and again. No dice. How many how many did you actually go through before you politics sex yes should probably note David. Here has another one for the Mac. And then of course there is this python version. That's pretty sweet here you can get it over. -- morale and all right that didn't work. Pretty though. Doesn't work. And then there's the idea of how -- its controlled all the way over the web so we have got all these links in this this one's another python implementation. Of the AF PHP front and doesn't -- going crazy here until it find it. Finally. Find. And information implementation works that is Alex says Susan keys Linux drivers for these striker. Do you his penis long term it turns out that the boards are actually different instructions are actually different even though the SP vendor ideas the same. When he added the laser to this unit. Things got a little long key so. So this is actually C plus plus. That one the -- soccer's if you will. Sound that was committed ninja and doesn't like oh my gosh this actually works so fired of people the bottom box here and it got that. A regulation and I'll make sure that Paula gets the bunt too cute in. As -- and you've got your standard. You know you're WS AD controls you can hit space to fire all that fun stuff. And it works. He's up on that great -- laser control. And very Acer's lesions on things aren't -- school -- school. There HD cameras and we we very expensive to replace. Whatever are so we can control it analytics great we're almost there right well. The thing is. We're not going to write something where we actually pass WA SD to this application we need to turn it into consul application. That we can -- arguments to and that's exactly what we did and and my C plus plus. -- high school so low it's. About eight years. Old foggy. You TiVo yet but somebody came to me to my and my -- and I've got to get mad props to juice and apple bomb or putting together not only modifying the C plus plus applications. And -- job front and back and nearly. So the you guys can totally log into that counts and play with the USB missile launcher. So let me see what that looks like about it over here on my laptop. And -- pull that up. And this is actually the Java code for the client. And basically it. It is the job apple that that that has a whole bunch of buttons. For moving out down operate whatever. And in the version that will be up soon. Just takes your standard of the FAB keyboard input I get fired up and clipped in eclipse here. And for you click stop and developers -- and it's really sweet plug in. Called swing builder and if I click over to design here you can actually see. This is right here eclipse I can actually design my do we just like it would like visual studio or something. I can move this round of the laser button over here and now I have a what does that remind you of anything. Harking back community in the last days I you know yeah. So I hope to put together something we guys can submit skins. -- Republican and yes yen up from other than play what. So great we've got a Java -- And then on the back and Nixon jumps are you want to -- off the the modified C plus plus program and they -- to box -- okay so the way that this works as we set up for striker where you just hit the WNASD. This one. You just to striker and then the link. RLU indeed for left right up down. And then how many so you can just go my left 200 or something. And you see the guys news around -- yeah so. How -- this."
" Would be an efficient -- just past all this to. You know what we've got to command line work and but yet even this would be sufficient to try and send multiple commands over -- so. Well I mean we could if we wanted to we could run an Apache server on this box. With a little bit a PHP and put above together that when you click did it held pulled the system command runs striker. You tend to move it up and whatever. The that we have to get home IP address that we had a lot of fun it. Now so we can go ahead man who got a job server okay so this Java server listens for. Commands from the web serve what is also running. The outlet for the client. So beyond run here. McCain. Not really too much to it to -- boxes talents you know what we're listening to you might not --"
" If I come over here to the client on my Acer I'm actually. You know the viewer here and going to go over the packed house stock common is just a prepaid cell and it does it'll be packed house dot com and big. -- you know Chinese flashing buttons and whatnot. I getting used to train window hearsay connect decent web cam that's going on in the missile launcher and I've been beautiful interface here. Where I can start telling him stuff -- retired service and paid a -- it crashed while -- you know it happens so. Issues and again. And and I hit up the what. Now it's a self signed up what's on and get things you from job telling me that. That winner in -- clips I totally after over mine. Java so let's close that -- Let's try to refresh pages now. Okay -- on and go ahead run this it's a self signed application. Only get a standard securities from vendors security while I promise you -- not and -- evil stuff. That run it. And now and of course my -- stream as wells the -- is beautiful thing -- there in the kitchen. And not so much for the advertisement there. Are so now I can actually pointed around. I'm controlling the missile launcher. Just like you guys would over the web. For the moment. It's just. You know button clicks then -- this bad boy. One thing you know here's the power. Is actually how many kicks when word or degree is not necessarily degrees but it in addition to like 50s in the morning. Go right fifty actually. You moved a lot more account. So you can get a finite control you can put it down to 21 and and get the laser exactly we ones so that the cat freaks out yet and -- fired -- so there you we've we've totally web enabled. A you've -- missile launcher. One that actually works when that actually works out percent in this bad boy back but tongue and get another one because. I have a lot of them this guy shows a lot of promise I mean it'll move 360 which is a lot nicer than this -- 270 degrees motion basically. -- so Carter did they shoot about twenty feet where -- he is there more or less -- five you have some. This doesn't laser which is very nice may mutinies and customs of the manufacturer announced by the media and then of course we go from here it right. Laser range finding. Because if we can shoot laser -- look at the image and see how big pot is based on that kind of figure out how far away things are. The men who can put a plate and a different like bull's eyes ran -- house so."
" Log in and so there's a whole bunch of different stuff that we can actually do. Around this project not just shooting lasers and you know missiles cash but we can actually. You know like you said laser range finding. Motion tracking yeah. You know at chapel we note to this guy and an election fine -- for red. Stuff and track. Ayala -- that people so where when do you think we will be able to."
" Well it's online right now these days it's it's a moment right now you can head over to -- cast our common play with it. War if your interest in the development if it even if it's just human beta test and submit like your experience with it. If you want to if you've been job developer -- more or -- if you python PHP whatever and one a decent front and stuff. I had over two -- platforms in the projects we have board for it so they can get in on the development of this guy. Source code fully available on the Fahnestock and so you've got one of these health right now homes right protector on network and that's with your own cat. So yeah and then you know from here's there's plenty of opportunities. Tons of missile -- him. I like it."
" Yes well I'm. For the sheer you know satisfaction actually not having me here you bitch. Every night that this is garbage and I hate these applications. I'm glad I finally got working parent you know mad props -- budgets and apple bomb yeah you were talking to him about."
" Chung Sharon. Ever I mean you know. And and you guys -- man behind the -- sincere student. Help me out the missile defense program yes all -- programmer programmer at a -- at a missile defense -- behind the USB missile program program yes I hit rock and type -- up and act Catholics -- that forms."
" And now let's find out more about Casey trivia and prescriptions you -- first."
" Great last week's trivialized based narrow stream of atomic clusters of liquid Mercury or tungsten accelerated by high voltage. What device was invented by Nicola Tesla in the 1930s and allegedly stolen by the Russians there after. And that correct answer was death rain that was correctly answered by as steady as you could EP PC. Guys we're going to be sending you want to dual cores and he's he's -- lost reality and if you're in season here in court music what's. I personally love you should check mark his music -- music dot com. And this week -- is. In the first technology preview of doom doesn't do evil unleashed. What did the secret messages about jewels in the top. If you're the first person into this right. Actually now. I think we're gonna try this week in an interview prize is going to be -- surprised. -- the first one in his right arm hacked by forums. I'll PM you look at the ball rolling. And I want to thank our sponsor go -- If you want to make an impact on -- godaddy.com has what you need.

Borders or more check out on the inside got -- dot com and yet here's a piece of the Internet at their website. Next that -- be talking about himself look emulating this and is very it's over my sad."
" So today as we shoot the show it is officially Black Friday I know it's scary and actually for some reason but the house it was a mistake. Scott ever since. It well. A lot of people this holiday -- in particular that are watching are probably going to be thinking about mobile operating systems particular one particularly ones you can put your pocket and make phone calls. But there they're not just albums anymore we've got. Our palm based phones we've got their Windows Mobile based ones we've got there Blackberry phones guts yeah. And the answer I. -- you're Nokia. Is there's so many of them and how how he ends that Italy's."
" wouldn't really really good way to decide it's just right at him they sell your cellphone and neatly. There's all sorts of different ones you can down and there -- oh they're so what's so open and was that it. It's a cell phone in your computer okay. You took all of these and you squished in the inside the PC up pretty much -- isn't so three up right now I have the windows line. And upon century here which I'm from Alaska sent out an and I sat up as the blackberries are. Who needs -- and treaty. Like it."
" I'm rocking the Blackberry curve right now and think about upgrading this Christmas and powerless to what did you do and it's big it's -- big deal because I mean he is now. Yeah along in a lot of places like to tear commitment or something like that's -- a public figure out what you're getting into. Before you. I mean not only is it like what applications there available but it's also and I stand this -- stand that interface that comes along that this yeah because it doesn't matter how great the applications are if you can mean the phone could be adorable it can be -- but. What do you hate interface -- so you've got. Windows -- and Blackberry which would be your three major platforms here in US and I guess overseas and everywhere else. The array -- and particularly Symbian. Cross bond. What about those I mean today they left out what's the deal now."
" They're not left out you can find an elitist -- well and I sat down on all of them. Yeah. Take you to bond again focus -- what would come into view we'd be aware of when we go and run and mobile phone emulator. What things that you need to be aware of is that a lot of people who make applications. Your cellphones. They can use -- simulators so if you like to develop your own applications if you want to develop something for and I -- you can try on one of these simulators before you actually come out with end and -- store it. Before you want to bring you one of the major contract."
" They got that that's great women especially if -- them and put them together and like he sharper. As a dot net he or you know and GT and mean whatever yeah I didn't see don't have to go and buy one these spices and period over -- card."
" And my favorite part about this is just playing with the -- face the phone works on -- emulator exactly like it would work in real life. Not only -- have the classic cell phone outline right here but you can also use it as if you're using the black berries in the com. The pod race here at the center has a touch screen when you've. Get the phone itself then on yeah or movies -- touch you use your mouse as if you're touching the screen with your fingers and we're with here and whenever it comes rhetoric. Seeking go around here and check out different things I can click on it just like any others --"
" And we can go to applications we can browse the Internet we -- all -- tried to -- application. Well."
" Well it's tragic wrong kind of to return -- piloted some don't but -- anyway. And this is the new Blackberry. What is it called again blackberries dorm -- so that's kind of when your mind like it is on mine. I want to play with it before you actually come down on the 973. Dollars."
" This -- because if you if you don't want of the menus say. Cameras bachelor's. If you nineteen posted contacts. And there again. You can hold down the right click and it works just like the little ball that comes on the Blackberry and hooked on the right click on your mouse and then you click the left. The left mouse click here click and cryptic. On one of the many choices. And it brings up so works just like any old school ones -- You know. Now if if you're interested in taking these as well as other simulators where he'll find one well I actually on this -- Hak5 -- movement at this entire view of like six different lines. And that's where I got yes. Thank you so it's. And I'm also going to do a little bit of an outline on my own blogs content I promised updated just. You got it."
" well we're going to take quick break and then he would -- too late next. -- weeks ago that he showed us a little front end system that we can put on a windows server so that we can delegate control over games servers. Crowd sourcing eggs in the show yet you want to tell us how we did some clinics using some -- web stuff."
" Yeah I got I got an email. From one of our viewers and basically asking bought I. You know why -- minister couple Linux boxes in here and there and I need -- way to do some past stuff. And also make it easier for -- that I don't have to do because let's face it people who use clinics that not everybody loves the command. Okay now self. That being said -- out what ideas Atlanta hunt and actually found some software I use that we back in the day. And found that it still actually out there and is still an active development the tools called Whitman. And so this is is what what is Lebanon for those. Lake is -- CP panel and -- now it's it's basically taking the most. You know used features of -- going to use a server for now it's this a common stock the common -- your your boot up your shut down here. You know -- disk and network access that network monitoring hardware PHP configuration. All these things that standard you know the next servers gonna do. You can now do in -- do we. On the -- Now C panel is -- basically made you know specifically for -- okay multiple multiple multiple people look at. This means -- it differs in you know basically. C panel is is installed is set up an auto does everything you know -- creation you know. This just gives you a gooey interface to do it. Yourself okay so you know you have to go any you have to change the -- to -- antlers he have to go into walls you know mime types you know -- duration. Everything that you would normally if you're running a single site on an Xbox and that you have to do via command line. We can -- do -- Do great so instead of egg just giving SSH access to or individual users and say hey. Have fun have that it with. -- They can now come into something a little bit more -- differently if you -- yeah I mean it's it's -- what what's our scenarios here how -- our scenario is -- we just don't have you know the man power because we've got you know -- servers and we're not using -- control -- stopper which normally have to pay monthly for witnessed this is free and open -- this is free and open -- like I can create your -- you -- it is you want you know so on and so forth updated blah blah blah blah -- Disk quotas you know here's an example so we've got home user bar on to you know we can go through we can actually see. Basically everything that you know you're gonna find on I mean this is my lives box that this is my alive. It's you know web host server. So these are all the user quotas -- people have set up okay. So you know going through and we can actually look at running processes all via the web. Whitman has a utility that plugs into -- which is called user."
" With basically lake incident when the control which entire web server user control we're just what user access exactly and customize. Yes it has. I think you know a little bit about web hosting. Being you know god and ever. So you've had. In your clients are not your typical web page -- they are. Trying to do something little it costs them needs only one on one thing here yet so you use this to do lake -- web interfaces. Yasser I mean -- before game server you know before an -- lands. You know it was called that. I'm hosting games servers were friends and before war control panels for games are prevalent. I was hosting clinics and I built custom. Control panels. Using Whitman and user with Nicklaus Award them to do is needless all women in its -- Their RPMs. -- dash guy yeah she Z there's configuration beyond. While it's automatically setup you law again so here we've got the mean Whitman on. And -- was going to go into others. -- custom commands now we can actually create custom commands. Create custom commands. And because on the radio guys were going to. -- H star Sean -- okay the man is going to be and sees her and the percent to run background. That directory. What are. It's whatever. It here it's not in been folder that's in which system line. Your specified directory as the new room. -- And we're going to run it and it's route you can specify right is winning user. This is great because now user can run things -- you don't have to delegate and use that exact word morgue. Residency thing but because because when we law again. They're only use this command and they can't edit it. They'd never ever. Exactly place so we're gonna end we don't need high command there's no extra calories like that story go ahead and create that. -- create another one which is going to stop. Com. The shop cast server is to -- nine Spitzer. And his well. You. Know. Because it's autumn it's pulling all the user information from the system we have decree you can create separate Whitney users that are not part. The Linux users and groups so they only have access to the way for a man. You can specify -- right -- of what is going to look like so what this is gonna look like as user. Anwr and go into the world logged in as brute. Just because now the password and we go to. Yet go and setup means it's available. Here. So. Apologies. So -- So. Much custom commands. Starts out as this -- user log in your system. And now like cancer without. Password or anything about. This whole -- Yet nothing. -- we can actually do is. Mixture and it's not running and it's not so we will go ahead and start the server. Actually just goes and prints that you're consul yet when turned on just depend on others. Exactly. And and so now you know what done usenet so let's go and stop. And kill all. Which means. So you can make certain stuff server you could say please please list or is that song or you think you can use something similar like this immediately web bowlers stereos can and and music -- Quite possible. I think about something like that -- and crowds source you know play generation. Like. One big thing I -- much guys guys there's a lot. There's a lot. Like what else so."
" Everything here. This entire list just commuted highlight real. The highlight system you can specify servers networking -- wanted to show you one is the granular control that you can do people. That -- again OK so if I want to I can on select everything here. And only select custom commands and they only have access to the costs and Mansfield. So squid proxy server and mails that are and they would never see that went on -- Sell. It's really great if you guys spent little time with you know. You might think to yourself wow. Windows. Suggest making life easier at the end it today. This mean that's what I'll more damage to other things you know -- round you know trying to remember what can man was the porch. Light recommend guys that went. -- And this is based on some questions -- abbey mill and gossip some other emails and then kind of questions we get from. Users."
" Questions. This week. -- swing comes from my personal friend and she's a real big. Phantom like music and she's creating her DJ music one of her friends he's DJ. And -- her plan for businesses. To hat throws really big party in half and DJ at a table. With a big projector screen behind them and then she's going to have like this we'll keep asking. Standing back out in the -- With her own computer her own home computer. Running a bunch of different emulator is different video games that will plant -- projector behind the DJ which I really cool idea. Her problem with this though it's that. She doesn't want to have people getting access into all of rather application she just wants to have it stop on his watch and later this -- different leaders. -- Keep people in those -- instead letting them out into any."
" Anything else that killing of viruses. Tell -- that there's really two parts of this one she doesn't want her machine -- up. And -- shouldn't one let people outside the application human to that first part there. The not Bork and emit a machine is something that we talked about couple weeks ago with windows steady state. Bulletproof again once you create that disk you know cash you're gonna go now that the question kind of changed. When she read it that last time I wasn't prepare for the second part which is letting somebody out of an application. Do you have any insight and I mean. Well what I'm thinking here is basically she needs to run the application -- man I know that it's possible to actually change what you're shell is in windows from something like well obviously explore the idea -- something else we've we've touched on things like this in the past as far as it's concerned like with I would like step -- you wise. If memory serves me right you can actually -- an application I don't know what kind of stability or what kind of other things go into that so this is where we take the question and open up to you guys we obviously sandbox with some in the sand box seat. We could run it in the am. From what I understand about -- give her equipment. Not like so super powerful I think is that here's the thing right. Emulator is well it sounds trivial they do some weird stuff with a video yet that not a lot of times are going to be --"
" That's happy yes wit and you -- without running in the am and you basically running. A machine emulated inside of the machine emulated. It. It's crazy so I'm wondering what you guys think about not just CN boxing but also restricting use I know that there's actually would like. Some programs have kiosk mode thinking much -- explore with the dash K perimeter it puts it in the kiosk mode. There are actually plugin for Firefox these and similar. So the can't -- it. Great review going to trade shall exceed yes you want to show something off enough people yeah -- you machine so let me know if if you guys have. Some ideas of how she can get this done it is up feedback Hak5 or or just ahead and posted -- platforms so. -- began to."
" I think it fails it's just a second question from 1 of -- viewers -- screen to 8589. He asks. I have a recovery CD that I need to boot from my EPC is there a way to earn an ice until we USB."
" Yes there is in fact it is a program that I have as as a notebook user --"
" You know on the second book and look at third. And now Christmas. And there are totally ways to do this. What you want to look for is this program called -- okay it is born. -- you net boot and I don't know right. But still way -- so. Basically what this application does is it takes. Generic ice so -- normally burn to see you next just right to -- be so he can seriously just not -- because modern machines. We can he has been a problem. It's equally irate because this application will let you. Natalie just you know specify your right so that you automatically download Eli distributions of several popular live next to show us like -- party it takes theory and the our problems. To backtrack to -- to get your wife fight hacking on. To you know 12 it to just for generically everything is that the rules. So anyway back up. You have gluten that said it's me I love that you guys check that as well with other fun stuff. And is in my senior year because. As USB CD-ROM drives in the yes he better remember where you put dominant you know. Break him and or if you think I can get by the taken when the USB adapters with the ID channel in the us cheap is that that we all out from. Prize either Microsoft or whatever. Third rate but not all of them support. Booting off of CD roms whereas. I digress it's very cool stuff. I've been using it a lot lately just by -- multiple USB keys with different operating systems so much fun we easier than going to right now. Patrick -- particular has its own USB version. But it's just so that's just grab any guys and make bootable so. In -- an Aussie guys next episode I've used it. More particularly with the weight off line update windows and office. Offers sound like an idea yes any possibilities."
" not so much wanted to let you guys know if you are not currently subscribe to the act five. RSS -- Actually get on that. The links are finally fixed so if you go over to the revision three side description options iTunes Miro. You know all that happy east heavy stuff and also on the Hak5 site you've got up here in the upper right it looks little -- because -- Mac. You know I think that and then -- of ecstasy -- To make sure you guys sign up pretty RSS feeds and Hak5 dot -- or revision three dot com slash."
" India because you don't want them you know dale tech analyst. Or series of your really -- attack us on -- Have yet. I do want to tease one other thing and and this -- come and give away do you guys have heard this this is it awesome documentary I've got dvd here it's called hackers are people too. I don't need to watch because I will be talking. Two director of not actually sports you we will have her on next episode via Skype and I hope these guys enjoy that because it's really cool documentary. About basically hacker culture. So that he goes around to different com's talks about talks a lot of people. And -- was like that. About what it is. That hackers -- and I think the quote the really resonates with me was at the -- of commerce talks about if you were to really show what hackers lives or. It would be a bunch -- is doing laundry. And if you watch packed house stock hung out that cap cocaine we're we're just for laundry and dishes. That it. Yeah you know much hacking apple TV's. Screen with Xbox. -- B missile launchers -- There you go girl with cat crowd sourcing through the cat yet. So. I think that's it's pretty much if there was anything to do. If he wants stickers -- found -- our listeners -- and a bunch of them got got a new -- Dale an in depth and Georgia it. And they can't and implement in the word press your analogue this for the -- Real quick in the PHP exact and his little old -- And word press and you can DPP and that word press post -- needs and then all of us and you can you awesome dynamics stuff. With your content management system that -- Check out of that -- stickers."
" And witnessed it first -- I went senate race. Next episode. -- anyway so yeah I think that's pretty much gets enough for there to. Yeah some guys that we kept supplement form of leader ought to -- He social. Edwards."
" More that'll it's not all fall straight get it all well. Can't really. Remember whatever the last time there --"
" War. Episode of Hak5 and brought to you by that eight."
" Netflix and hack house strategic missile defense program and coming up on this episode cellphone simulators. -- house USB missile defense program. Easy the next administration with -- user and burning -- those to thumb drives running applications and kiosk mode. And much more. Unwelcome Hak5 this your weekly dose of tech analyst and we are your hackers -- leaves tonight react."
" Yeah most definitely. -- made me try. I did he drop area Margarita mix well the the muggers made episode for last really goods that he would. And mix -- up -- markets you don't mess but the good thing. They said the same thing about our show look at now. Extra. So we've some awesome stuff you guys this week as always when the -- and that's exactly the words -- and with Cisco around the room for votes and what we're doing. Starting with you because I'm -- it. Thank you yeah I think it's totally colony every time. So I. I'm biased and had to work Thursday. I'm really blows in. Yeah so I was that work upgrading some yes sex servers -- national -- that would be an excuse me yes Thanksgiving Thursday. And so it bios updates and -- sex updates and all that happy horse stuff and I come today and I find out that. The the VMware convert Vietnam beta and yes sex -- I've just been released like. There early lesson 24 hours ago today marked sought while I mean I've got a testament lab at all other so -- crime -- month. You know you know this thing. Well yeah I mean it's it's a continuation of we still haven't gotten in over -- great so just when things were -- Some days you. There at in my stuff up you know. Straits though and it was and eat out yes. While not invite him right now okay that's good. Com. I think about to -- the -- they. But but yes you know I -- feel better hopefully I -- beat of wings after the -- And but and he had an -- on Tuesday. It changes some leading efforts day. And now it's at for -- and where it's just you know -- But but now this week. This episode. Much like actually gets do service control with windows and should do custom commands. In a new industry -- Freeney you know easily installed a Whitney -- Cost clinics. Council commands who so web base there not to like throughout this is takes human bash on. Bingo you know it best -- in sports not born in -- it's something that you do with keyboard your face. -- yes yes and you had a habit of breaking them. Well anyway on that note Shannon what's gonna have their hero."
" Now Mike's today I'm going to be talking about some cell phone and the leaders -- computer. Pretty good thing for the holiday it's I think coming up you know try before you buy it. And Matt I definitely feel your pain I'm working on Thanksgiving I used to do that. Like four years and wrote pretty much we're and then pizza place so this my first here actually off. Since I started working at that I named sneak. So I feel your -- is an array."
" For PT I just don't understand how. Well -- look -- SN. Before we get into what you're doing pretty -- to and parents a structure where you crazy busy working at pizza place on Thanksgiving."
" Why do people order pizza on -- skinny like second and sting going out to restaurant. Eating Turkey at the restaurant -- and then all I wait I know why."
" The ball. That makes -- the -- the -- the I was the smart -- bachelor a couple of years ago."
" And and did great thing on yet Ed did this before like most holidays when they didn't have anywhere ago or anything do and you know articulate and house. Actors so I would the night before -- holidays like Christmas than. Thanksgiving where I think closes in gets crazy. Stock up on some bits and threatened -- they go to him. Hyper tonight and tomorrow wanna yes. So I'm playing with -- opened with toys this episode. I'm I'm going to be doing some of them people who Lou is Linux. Won't -- that lowers the Wi-Fi stuff and I'm actually going to be doing some of the hearsay and let them right now I'm playing with toys. Toys that absolutely frustrated there. Old this week and last week he went but. If you've been tuning into that 'cause you saw Tuesday night Karen pulling his hair out going it has now been eight hours and have not made any progress that has now been ten hours of no progress you know how that feels when -- trying to get a -- it's a lot different when you have a deadline -- everything has to work on Friday night. The shooting."
" It would. Is not a good -- to be living in the -- ceased and it really wasn't. While there is getting all that. Look let's just about packed house dot com that's H a KH OUST dot com it's here in the lower thirds. And we've got pretty much our entire first floor. On. -- you guys from watch it any time during the day there's audio. Chat with everybody involved inside he -- chat room. And media. Scrolling down here you can actually see. That set up that that we've got. We've got to Sony. DC -- eight C eighty fives in USB mode and we've got to monitor. Showing us the chance we can talk to you I mean -- Yesterday. I was down here now two days ago. -- came down like 2 o'clock in the morning. Because I was like any good today and I kind of thing now have a -- here apartment that I have coming down and talking with. The Internet for another hour and 45 minute."
" It's I think that might have been because like but anyway that's which he can live report -- you need to act out. Dot com even get Adobe air application guests as Jay-Z man was awesome enough to do that. So. So sports toys is another feature that will become part of the -- house. This is the second USB missile launchers and purchase now this one's actually died in his beautifully as you can see. -- the second I try to fire eight -- the application I've tried some applications at this point does this one actually -- We have been working one -- be talking about little bit later in the show. That is web enabled. -- with a webcam and do we on this website that you can go to right now and start handing them around -- out a -- student. Little -- missiles at us and this got a laser so that you can play with the cat. She went nuts over it the other night and today but did -- stepping one more entertaining things that we -- time yet for you guys. Aside from that show -- and they think that rate. The first episode for the for those that have been sticking with that in the the pilot one -- so one. When premier seconds was how would you control your household lights over yourself and -- this is really just kind of like. Another one of those on home automation things for the nice twist that is annoying my cat I think that we can do to. Crowd source -- the cat because it only four of us here we got stuff to do we can't know it 247. We need your help. So -- log on the packed house get on the."
" Missile launcher and starts to happen when we have designated times that we actually screwed the cap -- Saturday 7:37 o'clock you know whenever we're all here. But now you can you know make sure that she's older and so. And now -- who have all that info and show but jobs now are we releasing. All this stuff here like a source and source -- When the releases on Wednesday -- and some people to go buy one of these things and they can set up their -- let's not to the second fourth and basically to -- do you -- I can't wait to see. So let's get this on the role cool you know and I can't wait to do what. In my drag on in. Happen to death match. Yes that's much else that's that's -- it."
" Well. I think since we've gotten on revision -- they haven't been introduced ticker. Now they're really haven't Chinese she's been on the -- but she has not actually been on the show well. So you've taken out that this cat she doesn't like to be held. Up its its its."
" Let's -- how to move towards the -- via yeah definitely."
" But now she -- she loves it is very time while their -- it."
" Did you make equipment about that because I need to dispel this it's KE RBY not KI RB what is named after her birth via authentication mechanism. Not that little ping can be mean and yes and you know I'm I'm and then not. And that doesn't like you -- Exactly because there that it arts a Lan party let's get."
" Did this show on the road. In just a couple of weeks we're going to be playing half -- to death match."
" Prepared again dominating his and I'm all right at this game I'm pretty day I think my favorite weapon is probably across. Of course I usually test really. Anyway it's December 13. Just a couple of weeks and you can play with us at games I have five dollars. And I would like just safe think you to our spots and Netflix -- Netflix you can rent over 90000 titles online including possibly -- titles. Plus free shipping both ways to your house. They now have over forty shipping centers so almost all delivery is happening just one this Wednesday. So Netflix plans start at four dollars and 99 cents in as a young -- very you can get in no risk two week free trial membership. Check it out at www. Netflix dot com slash Hak5 and please don't forget that WWW. Next up we're gonna take a break. In -- get me some more in the strawberry crappy marina."
" So you're at your office you thought about your firewall you thought about your fire suppression systems what about your physical security system. Well here to help us with that Angeles the USB missile defense program is Daryn. Who has been banging his head against this last two weeks there."
" Yes well I got this great idea and that is let's make the -- Warner active not just you know passive viewer and chatting with. Residents but let's actually give them something to play away. Very akin to use that some of the -- in the first season so what I saw when these guys -- reflecting key here you know. Mac -- toys for for geeks like crowds. I I was like this is perfect -- Throw web webcam on it all in -- you like the old PHP Apache cell phone -- segment and then let the let Internet control it. And then minus all the striker to had lasers I was like did. Is now out part and lasers. So the idea was let's -- source annoying the cat has. Kirby let's be honest podcast -- lasers and -- And you know -- and it's fun but we get stuff to do so let's -- you guys to play with the -- for us and then you get the added bonus cute little. Missiles. So we got lasers we got missiles yet and we got -- possibly say how hard could possibly be. So let's check out these -- on there there's you actually. When he when you get one of these guys you get this awesome software here it's is so robust on the equity guys here. This software. Is as you can see that the crappy crap you -- your standard like arrow keys to move around. East this issue -- it works in -- great great. And the editors actually supposedly PI played with in C sharp. Actually two other head. To be able to help me like. Convert the C sharp happen to like -- time to get it PHP. -- and style. Not so much. So to some alternative -- lyrics right right because there's pretty active community behind these sorts of things. In the weird sort of way not any and -- that there are all in one place but everybody had seen my idea once. So one -- to look at is here -- Has a place where he's actually put together he would be. Missile launcher drivers. Four a couple of these and these are just a dime a dozen at a time there's like three or four variations of them. And that's what it was nice. Except it was not for this particular unit. So I looked at us this one. It's a Java software version four what I thought was the striker to neighbors and had. And written in Java and again. No dice. How many how many did you actually go through before you politics sex yes should probably note David. Here has another one for the Mac. And then of course there is this python version. That's pretty sweet here you can get it over. -- morale and all right that didn't work. Pretty though. Doesn't work. And then there's the idea of how -- its controlled all the way over the web so we have got all these links in this this one's another python implementation. Of the AF PHP front and doesn't -- going crazy here until it find it. Finally. Find. And information implementation works that is Alex says Susan keys Linux drivers for these striker. Do you his penis long term it turns out that the boards are actually different instructions are actually different even though the SP vendor ideas the same. When he added the laser to this unit. Things got a little long key so. So this is actually C plus plus. That one the -- soccer's if you will. Sound that was committed ninja and doesn't like oh my gosh this actually works so fired of people the bottom box here and it got that. A regulation and I'll make sure that Paula gets the bunt too cute in. As -- and you've got your standard. You know you're WS AD controls you can hit space to fire all that fun stuff. And it works. He's up on that great -- laser control. And very Acer's lesions on things aren't -- school -- school. There HD cameras and we we very expensive to replace. Whatever are so we can control it analytics great we're almost there right well. The thing is. We're not going to write something where we actually pass WA SD to this application we need to turn it into consul application. That we can -- arguments to and that's exactly what we did and and my C plus plus. -- high school so low it's. About eight years. Old foggy. You TiVo yet but somebody came to me to my and my -- and I've got to get mad props to juice and apple bomb or putting together not only modifying the C plus plus applications. And -- job front and back and nearly. So the you guys can totally log into that counts and play with the USB missile launcher. So let me see what that looks like about it over here on my laptop. And -- pull that up. And this is actually the Java code for the client. And basically it. It is the job apple that that that has a whole bunch of buttons. For moving out down operate whatever. And in the version that will be up soon. Just takes your standard of the FAB keyboard input I get fired up and clipped in eclipse here. And for you click stop and developers -- and it's really sweet plug in. Called swing builder and if I click over to design here you can actually see. This is right here eclipse I can actually design my do we just like it would like visual studio or something. I can move this round of the laser button over here and now I have a what does that remind you of anything. Harking back community in the last days I you know yeah. So I hope to put together something we guys can submit skins. -- Republican and yes yen up from other than play what. So great we've got a Java -- And then on the back and Nixon jumps are you want to -- off the the modified C plus plus program and they -- to box -- okay so the way that this works as we set up for striker where you just hit the WNASD. This one. You just to striker and then the link. RLU indeed for left right up down. And then how many so you can just go my left 200 or something. And you see the guys news around -- yeah so. How -- this."
" Would be an efficient -- just past all this to. You know what we've got to command line work and but yet even this would be sufficient to try and send multiple commands over -- so. Well I mean we could if we wanted to we could run an Apache server on this box. With a little bit a PHP and put above together that when you click did it held pulled the system command runs striker. You tend to move it up and whatever. The that we have to get home IP address that we had a lot of fun it. Now so we can go ahead man who got a job server okay so this Java server listens for. Commands from the web serve what is also running. The outlet for the client. So beyond run here. McCain. Not really too much to it to -- boxes talents you know what we're listening to you might not --"
" If I come over here to the client on my Acer I'm actually. You know the viewer here and going to go over the packed house stock common is just a prepaid cell and it does it'll be packed house dot com and big. -- you know Chinese flashing buttons and whatnot. I getting used to train window hearsay connect decent web cam that's going on in the missile launcher and I've been beautiful interface here. Where I can start telling him stuff -- retired service and paid a -- it crashed while -- you know it happens so. Issues and again. And and I hit up the what. Now it's a self signed up what's on and get things you from job telling me that. That winner in -- clips I totally after over mine. Java so let's close that -- Let's try to refresh pages now. Okay -- on and go ahead run this it's a self signed application. Only get a standard securities from vendors security while I promise you -- not and -- evil stuff. That run it. And now and of course my -- stream as wells the -- is beautiful thing -- there in the kitchen. And not so much for the advertisement there. Are so now I can actually pointed around. I'm controlling the missile launcher. Just like you guys would over the web. For the moment. It's just. You know button clicks then -- this bad boy. One thing you know here's the power. Is actually how many kicks when word or degree is not necessarily degrees but it in addition to like 50s in the morning. Go right fifty actually. You moved a lot more account. So you can get a finite control you can put it down to 21 and and get the laser exactly we ones so that the cat freaks out yet and -- fired -- so there you we've we've totally web enabled. A you've -- missile launcher. One that actually works when that actually works out percent in this bad boy back but tongue and get another one because. I have a lot of them this guy shows a lot of promise I mean it'll move 360 which is a lot nicer than this -- 270 degrees motion basically. -- so Carter did they shoot about twenty feet where -- he is there more or less -- five you have some. This doesn't laser which is very nice may mutinies and customs of the manufacturer announced by the media and then of course we go from here it right. Laser range finding. Because if we can shoot laser -- look at the image and see how big pot is based on that kind of figure out how far away things are. The men who can put a plate and a different like bull's eyes ran -- house so."
" Log in and so there's a whole bunch of different stuff that we can actually do. Around this project not just shooting lasers and you know missiles cash but we can actually. You know like you said laser range finding. Motion tracking yeah. You know at chapel we note to this guy and an election fine -- for red. Stuff and track. Ayala -- that people so where when do you think we will be able to."
" Well it's online right now these days it's it's a moment right now you can head over to -- cast our common play with it. War if your interest in the development if it even if it's just human beta test and submit like your experience with it. If you want to if you've been job developer -- more or -- if you python PHP whatever and one a decent front and stuff. I had over two -- platforms in the projects we have board for it so they can get in on the development of this guy. Source code fully available on the Fahnestock and so you've got one of these health right now homes right protector on network and that's with your own cat. So yeah and then you know from here's there's plenty of opportunities. Tons of missile -- him. I like it."
" Yes well I'm. For the sheer you know satisfaction actually not having me here you bitch. Every night that this is garbage and I hate these applications. I'm glad I finally got working parent you know mad props -- budgets and apple bomb yeah you were talking to him about."
" Chung Sharon. Ever I mean you know. And and you guys -- man behind the -- sincere student. Help me out the missile defense program yes all -- programmer programmer at a -- at a missile defense -- behind the USB missile program program yes I hit rock and type -- up and act Catholics -- that forms."
" And now let's find out more about Casey trivia and prescriptions you -- first."
" Great last week's trivialized based narrow stream of atomic clusters of liquid Mercury or tungsten accelerated by high voltage. What device was invented by Nicola Tesla in the 1930s and allegedly stolen by the Russians there after.

Next that -- be talking about himself look emulating this and is very it's over my sad."
" So today as we shoot the show it is officially Black Friday I know it's scary and actually for some reason but the house it was a mistake. Scott ever since. It well. A lot of people this holiday -- in particular that are watching are probably going to be thinking about mobile operating systems particular one particularly ones you can put your pocket and make phone calls. But there they're not just albums anymore we've got. Our palm based phones we've got their Windows Mobile based ones we've got there Blackberry phones guts yeah. And the answer I. -- you're Nokia. Is there's so many of them and how how he ends that Italy's."
" wouldn't really really good way to decide it's just right at him they sell your cellphone and neatly. There's all sorts of different ones you can down and there -- oh they're so what's so open and was that it. It's a cell phone in your computer okay. You took all of these and you squished in the inside the PC up pretty much -- isn't so three up right now I have the windows line. And upon century here which I'm from Alaska sent out an and I sat up as the blackberries are. Who needs -- and treaty. Like it."
" I'm rocking the Blackberry curve right now and think about upgrading this Christmas and powerless to what did you do and it's big it's -- big deal because I mean he is now. Yeah along in a lot of places like to tear commitment or something like that's -- a public figure out what you're getting into. Before you. I mean not only is it like what applications there available but it's also and I stand this -- stand that interface that comes along that this yeah because it doesn't matter how great the applications are if you can mean the phone could be adorable it can be -- but. What do you hate interface -- so you've got. Windows -- and Blackberry which would be your three major platforms here in US and I guess overseas and everywhere else. The array -- and particularly Symbian. Cross bond. What about those I mean today they left out what's the deal now."
" They're not left out you can find an elitist -- well and I sat down on all of them. Yeah. Take you to bond again focus -- what would come into view we'd be aware of when we go and run and mobile phone emulator. What things that you need to be aware of is that a lot of people who make applications. Your cellphones. They can use -- simulators so if you like to develop your own applications if you want to develop something for and I -- you can try on one of these simulators before you actually come out with end and -- store it. Before you want to bring you one of the major contract."
" They got that that's great women especially if -- them and put them together and like he sharper. As a dot net he or you know and GT and mean whatever yeah I didn't see don't have to go and buy one these spices and period over -- card."
" And my favorite part about this is just playing with the -- face the phone works on -- emulator exactly like it would work in real life. Not only -- have the classic cell phone outline right here but you can also use it as if you're using the black berries in the com. The pod race here at the center has a touch screen when you've. Get the phone itself then on yeah or movies -- touch you use your mouse as if you're touching the screen with your fingers and we're with here and whenever it comes rhetoric. Seeking go around here and check out different things I can click on it just like any others --"
" And we can go to applications we can browse the Internet we -- all -- tried to -- application. Well."
" Well it's tragic wrong kind of to return -- piloted some don't but -- anyway. And this is the new Blackberry. What is it called again blackberries dorm -- so that's kind of when your mind like it is on mine. I want to play with it before you actually come down on the 973. Dollars."
" This -- because if you if you don't want of the menus say. Cameras bachelor's. If you nineteen posted contacts. And there again. You can hold down the right click and it works just like the little ball that comes on the Blackberry and hooked on the right click on your mouse and then you click the left. The left mouse click here click and cryptic. On one of the many choices. And it brings up so works just like any old school ones -- You know. Now if if you're interested in taking these as well as other simulators where he'll find one well I actually on this -- Hak5 -- movement at this entire view of like six different lines. And that's where I got yes. Thank you so it's. And I'm also going to do a little bit of an outline on my own blogs content I promised updated just. You got it."
" well we're going to take quick break and then he would -- too late next. -- weeks ago that he showed us a little front end system that we can put on a windows server so that we can delegate control over games servers. Crowd sourcing eggs in the show yet you want to tell us how we did some clinics using some -- web stuff."
" Yeah I got I got an email. From one of our viewers and basically asking bought I. You know why -- minister couple Linux boxes in here and there and I need -- way to do some past stuff. And also make it easier for -- that I don't have to do because let's face it people who use clinics that not everybody loves the command. Okay now self. That being said -- out what ideas Atlanta hunt and actually found some software I use that we back in the day. And found that it still actually out there and is still an active development the tools called Whitman. And so this is is what what is Lebanon for those. Lake is -- CP panel and -- now it's it's basically taking the most. You know used features of -- going to use a server for now it's this a common stock the common -- your your boot up your shut down here. You know -- disk and network access that network monitoring hardware PHP configuration. All these things that standard you know the next servers gonna do. You can now do in -- do we. On the -- Now C panel is -- basically made you know specifically for -- okay multiple multiple multiple people look at. This means -- it differs in you know basically. C panel is is installed is set up an auto does everything you know -- creation you know. This just gives you a gooey interface to do it. Yourself okay so you know you have to go any you have to change the -- to -- antlers he have to go into walls you know mime types you know -- duration. Everything that you would normally if you're running a single site on an Xbox and that you have to do via command line. We can -- do -- Do great so instead of egg just giving SSH access to or individual users and say hey. Have fun have that it with. -- They can now come into something a little bit more -- differently if you -- yeah I mean it's it's -- what what's our scenarios here how -- our scenario is -- we just don't have you know the man power because we've got you know -- servers and we're not using -- control -- stopper which normally have to pay monthly for witnessed this is free and open -- this is free and open -- like I can create your -- you -- it is you want you know so on and so forth updated blah blah blah blah -- Disk quotas you know here's an example so we've got home user bar on to you know we can go through we can actually see. Basically everything that you know you're gonna find on I mean this is my lives box that this is my alive. It's you know web host server. So these are all the user quotas -- people have set up okay. So you know going through and we can actually look at running processes all via the web. Whitman has a utility that plugs into -- which is called user."
" With basically lake incident when the control which entire web server user control we're just what user access exactly and customize. Yes it has. I think you know a little bit about web hosting. Being you know god and ever. So you've had. In your clients are not your typical web page -- they are. Trying to do something little it costs them needs only one on one thing here yet so you use this to do lake -- web interfaces. Yasser I mean -- before game server you know before an -- lands. You know it was called that. I'm hosting games servers were friends and before war control panels for games are prevalent. I was hosting clinics and I built custom. Control panels. Using Whitman and user with Nicklaus Award them to do is needless all women in its -- Their RPMs. -- dash guy yeah she Z there's configuration beyond. While it's automatically setup you law again so here we've got the mean Whitman on. And -- was going to go into others. -- custom commands now we can actually create custom commands. Create custom commands. And because on the radio guys were going to. -- H star Sean -- okay the man is going to be and sees her and the percent to run background. That directory. What are. It's whatever. It here it's not in been folder that's in which system line. Your specified directory as the new room. -- And we're going to run it and it's route you can specify right is winning user. This is great because now user can run things -- you don't have to delegate and use that exact word morgue. Residency thing but because because when we law again. They're only use this command and they can't edit it. They'd never ever. Exactly place so we're gonna end we don't need high command there's no extra calories like that story go ahead and create that. -- create another one which is going to stop. Com. The shop cast server is to -- nine Spitzer. And his well. You. Know. Because it's autumn it's pulling all the user information from the system we have decree you can create separate Whitney users that are not part. The Linux users and groups so they only have access to the way for a man. You can specify -- right -- of what is going to look like so what this is gonna look like as user. Anwr and go into the world logged in as brute. Just because now the password and we go to. Yet go and setup means it's available. Here. So. Apologies. So -- So. Much custom commands. Starts out as this -- user log in your system. And now like cancer without. Password or anything about. This whole -- Yet nothing. -- we can actually do is. Mixture and it's not running and it's not so we will go ahead and start the server. Actually just goes and prints that you're consul yet when turned on just depend on others. Exactly. And and so now you know what done usenet so let's go and stop. And kill all. Which means. So you can make certain stuff server you could say please please list or is that song or you think you can use something similar like this immediately web bowlers stereos can and and music -- Quite possible. I think about something like that -- and crowds source you know play generation. Like. One big thing I -- much guys guys there's a lot. There's a lot. Like what else so."
" Everything here. This entire list just commuted highlight real. The highlight system you can specify servers networking -- wanted to show you one is the granular control that you can do people. That -- again OK so if I want to I can on select everything here. And only select custom commands and they only have access to the costs and Mansfield. So squid proxy server and mails that are and they would never see that went on -- Sell. It's really great if you guys spent little time with you know. You might think to yourself wow. Windows. Suggest making life easier at the end it today. This mean that's what I'll more damage to other things you know -- round you know trying to remember what can man was the porch. Light recommend guys that went. -- And this is based on some questions -- abbey mill and gossip some other emails and then kind of questions we get from. Users."
" Questions. This week. -- swing comes from my personal friend and she's a real big. Phantom like music and she's creating her DJ music one of her friends he's DJ. And -- her plan for businesses. To hat throws really big party in half and DJ at a table. With a big projector screen behind them and then she's going to have like this we'll keep asking. Standing back out in the -- With her own computer her own home computer. Running a bunch of different emulator is different video games that will plant -- projector behind the DJ which I really cool idea. Her problem with this though it's that. She doesn't want to have people getting access into all of rather application she just wants to have it stop on his watch and later this -- different leaders. -- Keep people in those -- instead letting them out into any."
" Anything else that killing of viruses. Tell -- that there's really two parts of this one she doesn't want her machine -- up. And -- shouldn't one let people outside the application human to that first part there. The not Bork and emit a machine is something that we talked about couple weeks ago with windows steady state. Bulletproof again once you create that disk you know cash you're gonna go now that the question kind of changed. When she read it that last time I wasn't prepare for the second part which is letting somebody out of an application. Do you have any insight and I mean. Well what I'm thinking here is basically she needs to run the application -- man I know that it's possible to actually change what you're shell is in windows from something like well obviously explore the idea -- something else we've we've touched on things like this in the past as far as it's concerned like with I would like step -- you wise. If memory serves me right you can actually -- an application I don't know what kind of stability or what kind of other things go into that so this is where we take the question and open up to you guys we obviously sandbox with some in the sand box seat. We could run it in the am. From what I understand about -- give her equipment. Not like so super powerful I think is that here's the thing right. Emulator is well it sounds trivial they do some weird stuff with a video yet that not a lot of times are going to be --"
" That's happy yes wit and you -- without running in the am and you basically running. A machine emulated inside of the machine emulated. It. It's crazy so I'm wondering what you guys think about not just CN boxing but also restricting use I know that there's actually would like. Some programs have kiosk mode thinking much -- explore with the dash K perimeter it puts it in the kiosk mode. There are actually plugin for Firefox these and similar. So the can't -- it. Great review going to trade shall exceed yes you want to show something off enough people yeah -- you machine so let me know if if you guys have. Some ideas of how she can get this done it is up feedback Hak5 or or just ahead and posted -- platforms so. -- began to."
" I think it fails it's just a second question from 1 of -- viewers -- screen to 8589. He asks. I have a recovery CD that I need to boot from my EPC is there a way to earn an ice until we USB."
" Yes there is in fact it is a program that I have as as a notebook user --"
" You know on the second book and look at third. And now Christmas. And there are totally ways to do this. What you want to look for is this program called -- okay it is born. -- you net boot and I don't know right. But still way -- so. Basically what this application does is it takes. Generic ice so -- normally burn to see you next just right to -- be so he can seriously just not -- because modern machines. We can he has been a problem. It's equally irate because this application will let you. Natalie just you know specify your right so that you automatically download Eli distributions of several popular live next to show us like -- party it takes theory and the our problems. To backtrack to -- to get your wife fight hacking on. To you know 12 it to just for generically everything is that the rules. So anyway back up. You have gluten that said it's me I love that you guys check that as well with other fun stuff. And is in my senior year because. As USB CD-ROM drives in the yes he better remember where you put dominant you know. Break him and or if you think I can get by the taken when the USB adapters with the ID channel in the us cheap is that that we all out from. Prize either Microsoft or whatever. Third rate but not all of them support. Booting off of CD roms whereas. I digress it's very cool stuff. I've been using it a lot lately just by -- multiple USB keys with different operating systems so much fun we easier than going to right now. Patrick -- particular has its own USB version. But it's just so that's just grab any guys and make bootable so. In -- an Aussie guys next episode I've used it. More particularly with the weight off line update windows and office. Offers sound like an idea yes any possibilities."
" not so much wanted to let you guys know if you are not currently subscribe to the act five. RSS -- Actually get on that. The links are finally fixed so if you go over to the revision three side description options iTunes Miro. You know all that happy east heavy stuff and also on the Hak5 site you've got up here in the upper right it looks little -- because -- Mac. You know I think that and then -- of ecstasy -- To make sure you guys sign up pretty RSS feeds and Hak5 dot -- or revision three dot com slash."
" India because you don't want them you know dale tech analyst. Or series of your really -- attack us on -- Have yet. I do want to tease one other thing and and this -- come and give away do you guys have heard this this is it awesome documentary I've got dvd here it's called hackers are people too. I don't need to watch because I will be talking. Two director of not actually sports you we will have her on next episode via Skype and I hope these guys enjoy that because it's really cool documentary. About basically hacker culture. So that he goes around to different com's talks about talks a lot of people. And -- was like that. About what it is. That hackers -- and I think the quote the really resonates with me was at the -- of commerce talks about if you were to really show what hackers lives or. It would be a bunch -- is doing laundry. And if you watch packed house stock hung out that cap cocaine we're we're just for laundry and dishes. That it. Yeah you know much hacking apple TV's.

This was a particularly good episode. Even though USB missile launcher hacking was popular back in 2007, I really enjoyed seeing it on the show. Still, the show left me wanting more. This was an excellent opportunity for Darren to teach the audience about USB protocol sniffing and reverse engineering. I do appreciate the importance of utilizing existing code and not wasting time doing what's already been done, but for the purpose of infotainment I think it would have been far more interesting for viewers to watch Darren reverse engineer the protocol and then discuss some of the existing solutions.
Last year, I started a similar project using the green and black DreamCheeky missile launcher that the team had on set. I wanted to note that my model did not have 360 degree rotation as Darren claimed (and the web page does claim to either). In fact, my product went up in smoke (literally) when I was reverse engineering the protocol and decided to send a raw "move left" command directly to the unit. To my horror, the hardware didn't stop trying to turn when it reached it's maximum range of motion and I was too slow in issuing the "stop" command (or unplugging the device) resulting in the all-too familiar smell of burnt electronics.
This episode may have inspired me to dust the old launcher off and figure out exactly what I fried. It would be just as easy to remove the electronics from the device all together and replace the control mechanism with an arduino or similar microcontroller.
Anyways, my idea was to use Intel's (open source) Open Computer Vision Library to add facial recognition and tracking to autonomously shoot people in the face upon entering the room.
Just thought I'd put that out there for anyone interested in picking up the ball.

webmin/usermin unimportant note.
You will need to sudo or be root to install these packages(http://www.webmin.com/download.html)
webmin/usermin for rpm based distros such as Fedora/Centos use rpm -i filename.rpm
webmin/usermin for deb based distros such as Debian/Ubuntu use dpkg -i filename.deb
For the tar.gz packages that is something else.
One thing that is neat about using webmin/usermin you do not have to run a gui or mouse driven desktop on the server. That saves memory, diskspace and adds speed. On an embeded device such as the nslu2 that can be real important.
To use the packages on debian/ubuntu:
Webmin:https://yourserver.com:10000
Usermin: https://yourserver.com:20000
After the install is finished, it will remind of how to access the web pages.

This week's episode of Hak5 is sponsored by PETA, ASPCA, and the Humane Society :D
Seriously, I was glad to see you plug Webmin and Usermin. The first thing I do when ever I set up a new server is install those two packages. They make it fast and easy to do the "every day" crap so I can spend my time focusing on the real problems.
And at the very end of the show...that's one lucky damned penguin. That's all I'm gonna say ;)

Hei. Hak5.
I see you show how to burn an ISO usb stick for the EEE. I have an EEE and over the past month have been trying to install an Ubuntu based OS; eeebuntu - http://eeebuntu.org I've tried following their guide to installation with an SD card and 3 usb sticks which all failed. I also tried using unetbootin as you suggested in this episode, I saw in one thread that the Kingston (something) worked, my friend has one of these but he is just backing it up. I will try this but do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,

What's failing?
Doesn't it boot off of the USB stick or is it reporting errors?
(I can't remember if it's F2 or ESC to choose the boot-device)
Try doing that. Setting up boot devices in the BIOS has ALWAYS failed for me.
Btw, what model are you using? 70X or above? Check to see whether or not there are drivers for your EEE.












Great work guys. On a lighter note: how about a
bit more lighting behind the camera? It always seems
like there's not enough contrast in the foreground.
