" War."
" This time on the show you must be able to pass and -- do manager virtual machine with the act also. Google hacks and technolust battering ram all that in more on this episode of hack. Got to you by godaddy Squarespace in the national fight against drunk driving over the limit under arrest. I'll get welcome to Hak5 -- mission marks compared it not less and that was Japanese. Case in now."
" He does believe -- you do differently."
" We -- it every time differently. Right much nothing creative."
" Second -- sectors that techies at six these next season second episode and let it a little different this time."
" I actually didn't like it -- like lights up and now we like what was shot that we're getting. It's this. What happens is it looks beautiful for us when I'm looking at the preview monitor and then what happens it's and you know editing. It's a community and then recently. Three and and -- the you know the when you download your -- and -- he's here. And for all and is all of those you know that was just once and more more everything and certainly lose. Fidelity yeah so. You know we trust no longer -- definition will know its its it's just you know what happens is black lacquer every time. -- it's 29 dollars. So you know just what we shall we -- compensated. Yes we come -- an in camera not in like we just like on the light my flat and that's. That would be. We did you just release every single person in -- masters of and then like -- mail that one yet it didn't call it male hotel winding track and it's only had which was based others. Yeah we've been. We were averaging might --"
" My grandma's meet you burn her at CD of all the pictures from our case."
" We put mom on the web yet all four gigs now and then -- machines that can you put all those pictures -- you can't -- gigs. Elegant on the mall makes you democratic -- gap's basic game. That went there yeah that's the story. And say. -- Not anymore. -- with it. And where green shirt. That's your purple if you could figure out what's different in much the -- it's already been done in post. After -- In -- way things -- And buying can't use and it's yours and it is meant. A human on the show yeah almost openly condemned what. And now we're talking -- word all walked past and that's stuff that's friends and I about questions asking."
" You know. The VMware. Tools that we use to manage the systems. It's on windows. So people like oh why you know on my Mac. -- the whatever. Way there's it will that's being created. And our viewers. I accepted fact that we have a diverse audience. It's open source now and cross -- new on the cross platform yes. -- Often yeah and monkeys might line item on."
" So we're being that it's it's an air apps. Out there yeah. -- There. Your grade and our guys its Lan party. Times this time we're playing call of duty Modern Warfare for the PC. Not 360s -- playing on Saturday September 5 anytime -- up COD dot Hak5 dot org need to be. But before you do bed head on over to Hak5 land dot Squarespace dot com we can vote for new games check up we -- worked for being passed and you know just chat with the general fan base who loves to play games. At my land dot Squarespace dot."
" With Squarespace you can build beautiful looking blogs and website in a fraction of the time it would take for the traditional content management system. There intuitive drag and drop interface is as snappy as powerful as a desktop publishing app. But best of all there's no software to install -- database to configure your patches are applied and no code that'll. -- up yourself a simple and powerful it can be with a two week free trial Squarespace dot com and he's probably could have. Five to support the show and save 10% off the life of your service at Squarespace dot com."
" If you've been following along since it is and 525 you'll notice that we didn't that come stuff has been happening in that's cool so. And."
" An episode five point five I started a segment about what I called the US be multi pass and it's basically. Taking a whole bunch of different like pesos in disk images and stuff from all this different currencies love to boot off of and it instead of having just a gigantic geek key chain of USB drives compress them all into one. Using some grub. What I'd like to do is talk about the next evolution of that. Better faster stronger grub and that is -- too as well some other programs and some tweaks for legacy grub to make the -- that's awesome. And I got to give maj Adam -- all of you guys that had just been pouring onto the forms. About this project is so poor that it's kind of evolved into a community project now so. I'm stoked about that. And it will be getting a or should now have been much prettier home so we can have multiple threads on stuff. That's fed. Let's talk about rob to you. It is a complete rewrite of rob it is it's made for portability it's modular it's to -- rewrote of the -- And it is not and and in -- neatest thing about it is that has this option called -- back. And that's that back option basically allowed you to take a file. For instance an ice so file and actually -- that file as a device like a -- something. Which is really neat. This kind of makes things easier if if you know you go back to buck 25 and -- these multi pass segment. I'm talking about extracting ice goes and putting. -- folders in and all these different you know. Files through your file system trying to get everything work and you know entity at -- and I think that this would actually make things a lot easier. There's actually a way to do this -- what's called legacy grub grub one and that's using the map command. And basically that just allows you to do like similar with the the loop back up and -- two. I'm not sure. -- Reliable it is I do need to know that if you are going to try to two load a ice a -- with a map command. If used act act now and it actually like comes the file numbering you know and worry about the ice being continuous. If it's not -- I can link you to some. Organs -- can actually check. That but be continuity -- continue with this whatever anyway check to make sure that the eyes so is. Not fragmented essentially. Now and -- who is not in mainstream adoption -- actually. Not see in you you're most mainstream Linux is true want to leave that in mind minded as. Until nine point ten so that's forthcoming and actually -- tech campus daily builds. But -- right now on nine point 04 and like below and I'm just gonna use that at -- example. Grub one is is what's going on now if you were you know -- month -- guys like myself and you wanna get. On the new grub. There's it's really simple it's just an app installed -- to. And then you reboot. And you get this beautiful view option in -- called can load. And what that does is from -- one it chain of drug too but then would your operating system and -- that works. It's as simple as running -- and -- legacy the command and then. You're also. Unless of course you're lazy and stupid like myself and used will be -- installation rather than actually just plugging -- booting off the the -- CD in choosing install. Because what happens is when used to be you're actually loading. The file system from and yes that's and that's the thing that back rubbed you does not support -- idea that so. You might have some problems there anyway thought got to rebuild my system but some but until then I can actually let you know. If you have rubbed loaded on your system this is how you would. Set up a USB device to actually boot from it and then the you know have the commands actually load the ice so. Basically you wanna set up the file system like -- so would be. And tea that's -- file system -- that attack and and then you give it a Boeing name and then whatever your devices so it looks like flushed down -- STB. Or whatever your device may be announced figure that out then you would mount that so you know amount slash -- slash STB one. Q and a place like -- now. And then do your rob installed you wanna use the tac -- new -- the option there and then set the root directory. Over two slash now where where be mounted it and then give the device and what happens is it installs rub to -- USB device. You know rather than your hard drive or anything like that. Which is kind of cool. If you would actually play with grub and you don't. Very you include the new version of grub. You don't want installed in your system and recommend checking out the all in one boot floppy. This is pretty cool check this out if an M desktop here. And yes they do okay so actually -- these QB in -- here with Paul is quite fond of would -- FDA. To all in one -- image. And just you -- up here into. The all in one boot floppy blue. And I can actually take a look at grub to. And now men in the grub to command line here. And I can do all sorts of fun stuff and don't need to worry about working anything because I'm in an emulator and that's all again. Now. I did want to mention a few other things. About the current version if you will of the multi pass but beforehand let me mention. This really nifty utility like I was talking about eventually there'd be like -- do we to make this those simple. And they're actually is and this was sent to me by Serb who will be -- I think and I am. So -- now and you're gonna see the problem here release. Some -- you Wilson you're gonna say well what you know -- on the language so -- is this is multi boot -- custom. And unfortunately. It's all in France. Google public transit website enough to actually get it installed. And here it is and I don't speak a -- of friends so. From what I understand you can actually use this tool to specify. You're different -- so is it actually has some stuff built into load up some different operating systems like. -- like you happen would. Again address those and then. It makes it you're USB key and leave the way that it goes about it is it actually create partitions and then loads and from there would grow up. But. No friends so you do in your an expert on this stuff. Yup because this seems really cool but I can't figure so anyway. So would take a look at my menu dial lets you of them on here actually found some awesome from forms and this one in particular I was were piloting. Because this is actually how to load. Like Goobuntu nine point oh or in persistent -- and I think that's very cool because there's nothing more -- expressing -- one not two. You know boot up and -- environment -- changes you know configured your liking and good and everything changed. Also when -- see what's going on here with notes and I think it would be easiest that we just re booted right off of Mikey and actually see what's gone on here. So here are -- into grub for DOS you or used to multi -- legacy if you will. And some things wanted to point out here notes this is pretty cool and actually loading another menu -- file. Where can actually add important things yearly exceed these cereals cookies stuff like that. And you know important information and I can have the background all of these so -- can actually certain nesting menus and doing some nifty things with that. Also you bother to look in here. The U bound to live CD this is the one -- take a look here this actually using the persistent and I think it's all in. This one right here we actually get to see the persistent group. So let's go ahead and do that with these. And that didn't work because they have to. -- And now it's a bit. That's nice thing about rubs you can actually. If you -- appeared menu dial ST -- and from legacy. And then -- the entry and then it be to -- it. This takes forever to -- into it does work it is persistent. The reason being is that tactic man next to copy its memory it's -- big. -- so on your smaller races it doesn't take that long at all. That's anyway those are some of the cool things that I've been seeing some developments with you that you Malta has hit me up. -- Hak5 dot org. With when you guys would like to see with this or if you have some nifty tweaks that that you've done with -- it up above to see those serious threaten community. All around this project right now so find that Hak5 dot org slash forms now a little bit later in the show."
" Matt is going to be talking to us about Kodiak and Adobe air authorities manage our virtual machines. But first let's head over to -- and find out communities."
" Hey guys I just wanted to thank you for coming out to the Hak5 -- started to -- up. I know I had an awesome time I think everybody else had a fantastic time tons of roller coasters picture is getting us. And we have been battering ram trust your tech analyst video for you. Make sure to check on the other really cool pictures and videos from the -- I mean out of breath Hak5 dot org slash forums. Hint if you have any nominations for the community spotlight next week to make sure to email us anything -- And we would like to thank a sponsor the national fight against non threatening."
" Listen people alcohol drugs and driving do not mix the messages -- here drinking and driving over the limit under arrest. Don't do it yourself or others in danger police will be out in force from August when he first through Labor Day weekend cracking down on drunk drivers. Beyond just putting your life for mine at risk you could cut yourself a bundle of time and money. Lots of driver's license higher insurance rates and dozens of other expenses -- attorney's fees fines. Possibly -- it -- loss of work the list goes on and on. Drinking and driving is so easy to avoid go out of fun just. It had at a designated driver quality actually take the bus or recollect now they're actually pretty cheap when it split up between half dozen people."
" So following up on the yes -- series that I. Because accomplished the goal I set out to -- a couple of emails inquiring about. Waste manage the yes excise servers or -- yes acts are here virtual center servers. Outside of windows now there really isn't a really good way to do. That yet. There's gentleman his name escapes me but it's by blue -- software and the applications called Kodiak. And basically it's cross platform due to the fact that it's an Adobe air application so. You probably got air installed if you're using tweet deck or a packed house. Application that you can use to watch your desktop. This uses Adobe air and while it's in very private beta right now I have a copy them show you right now. So we're gonna do is original launch Kodiak. -- X up here run and and we're gonna type in our server IP which is ten dot ten dot one dot 182. The username is -- And the password. Of course. Now. Right now VMware is the only module that is currently in production or being developed however. As there are different. Virtualization technologies and platforms on and so forth. Kodiak will support. Xen as well as the Microsoft hyper V -- management as well. That's right now it's processing the inventory once that's done it's gonna show us kind of an interesting. View of our. Topography. Of our virtual system which is installed. On that server that -- connecting to. Are right and here is the top -- for that I was talking knew about. It's kind of a spider. Ish looking graph. Hosts and clusters and there's some information that really kind of struck me the first time I actually sought and it's a very interesting way to look at everything. Aside from just a single virtual machine here and there. Here we could see. This Apollo -- server. Which is no longer production he is actually using a whole crap load of the system memory. And very little of the selected CPU usage -- the nice thing about this application is we can actually go. And change it from spring mode to basic mode. And we're gonna go ahead and just start dragging things around so I can make things whole life easier for myself to read. So I've got external like he's my DMZ mind internal. Things of that nature. So going forward we can now click on. My Apollo best server and we can actually open the console rate from here now remember this is all done completely in. -- Which is when you think about it it's basically using script lets. To connect to manage the different services that you're gonna be performing. So here we've got our local consul session. And while the performance is in native to what you'd be running on windows it is good enough to get the job done. So we can see down here looks like I haven't updated my best server awhile which is probably a bad thing. So I ran double click on that express installs fine. Click install and this is actually running in a -- firemen in my office on the other side of town. So here we go it's in size and insulation and once that's done it's gonna reboot so. We're good to get out of here now the actions that you can do like I said our script -- the -- but this is there's a single button to reboot to the bias if you ever need to. You know manage the now what have you different. Seen years you know boot from something else reboot to -- power on power -- take a screen shot is actually ruinous because instead of taking a screen shot of the entire desktop. It is now. Taken a screen shot of just that window. So. If you're look at for more information on how would suggest you go check out Kodiak I've boo -- software at the link is right here. For more information via the forms of form a Hak5 dot org or email me directly map and act five. -- it's really get the rest of the crew back in here to wrap this bitch up."

That's anyway those are some of the cool things that I've been seeing some developments with you that you Malta has hit me up. -- Hak5 dot org. With when you guys would like to see with this or if you have some nifty tweaks that that you've done with -- it up above to see those serious threaten community. All around this project right now so find that Hak5 dot org slash forms now a little bit later in the show."
" Matt is going to be talking to us about Kodiak and Adobe air authorities manage our virtual machines. But first let's head over to -- and find out communities."
" Hey guys I just wanted to thank you for coming out to the Hak5 -- started to -- up. I know I had an awesome time I think everybody else had a fantastic time tons of roller coasters picture is getting us. And we have been battering ram trust your tech analyst video for you. Make sure to check on the other really cool pictures and videos from the -- I mean out of breath Hak5 dot org slash forums. Hint if you have any nominations for the community spotlight next week to make sure to email us anything -- And we would like to thank a sponsor the national fight against non threatening."
" Listen people alcohol drugs and driving do not mix the messages -- here drinking and driving over the limit under arrest. Don't do it yourself or others in danger police will be out in force from August when he first through Labor Day weekend cracking down on drunk drivers. Beyond just putting your life for mine at risk you could cut yourself a bundle of time and money. Lots of driver's license higher insurance rates and dozens of other expenses -- attorney's fees fines. Possibly -- it -- loss of work the list goes on and on. Drinking and driving is so easy to avoid go out of fun just. It had at a designated driver quality actually take the bus or recollect now they're actually pretty cheap when it split up between half dozen people."
" So following up on the yes -- series that I. Because accomplished the goal I set out to -- a couple of emails inquiring about. Waste manage the yes excise servers or -- yes acts are here virtual center servers. Outside of windows now there really isn't a really good way to do. That yet. There's gentleman his name escapes me but it's by blue -- software and the applications called Kodiak. And basically it's cross platform due to the fact that it's an Adobe air application so. You probably got air installed if you're using tweet deck or a packed house. Application that you can use to watch your desktop. This uses Adobe air and while it's in very private beta right now I have a copy them show you right now. So we're gonna do is original launch Kodiak. -- X up here run and and we're gonna type in our server IP which is ten dot ten dot one dot 182. The username is -- And the password. Of course. Now. Right now VMware is the only module that is currently in production or being developed however. As there are different. Virtualization technologies and platforms on and so forth. Kodiak will support. Xen as well as the Microsoft hyper V -- management as well. That's right now it's processing the inventory once that's done it's gonna show us kind of an interesting. View of our. Topography. Of our virtual system which is installed. On that server that -- connecting to. Are right and here is the top -- for that I was talking knew about. It's kind of a spider. Ish looking graph. Hosts and clusters and there's some information that really kind of struck me the first time I actually sought and it's a very interesting way to look at everything. Aside from just a single virtual machine here and there. Here we could see. This Apollo -- server. Which is no longer production he is actually using a whole crap load of the system memory. And very little of the selected CPU usage -- the nice thing about this application is we can actually go. And change it from spring mode to basic mode. And we're gonna go ahead and just start dragging things around so I can make things whole life easier for myself to read. So I've got external like he's my DMZ mind internal. Things of that nature. So going forward we can now click on. My Apollo best server and we can actually open the console rate from here now remember this is all done completely in. -- Which is when you think about it it's basically using script lets. To connect to manage the different services that you're gonna be performing. So here we've got our local consul session. And while the performance is in native to what you'd be running on windows it is good enough to get the job done. So we can see down here looks like I haven't updated my best server awhile which is probably a bad thing. So I ran double click on that express installs fine. Click install and this is actually running in a -- firemen in my office on the other side of town. So here we go it's in size and insulation and once that's done it's gonna reboot so. We're good to get out of here now the actions that you can do like I said our script -- the -- but this is there's a single button to reboot to the bias if you ever need to. You know manage the now what have you different. Seen years you know boot from something else reboot to -- power on power -- take a screen shot is actually ruinous because instead of taking a screen shot of the entire desktop. It is now. Taken a screen shot of just that window. So. If you're look at for more information on how would suggest you go check out Kodiak I've boo -- software at the link is right here. For more information via the forms of form a Hak5 dot org or email me directly map and act five. -- it's really get the rest of the crew back in here to wrap this bitch up."
