We show off some of the neatest toys found at CES 2009
In this first episode of '09 Dave Randolph joins us to geek out about all things video. Darren whips up a Password Cracking Cocktail and shows off a wicked fast MD5 brute force tool that harnesses the power of your Nvidia graphics card. Shannon saves the day by recovering her sisters Windows password with Ophcrack Live. And Evil Server gets his evil on while we were away on holiday.
In this Holiday Special Hak5 the cast delivers a smathering of their choices in freeware/shareware, open source applications. Matt sings praise of the free Vmware Server product for virtual goodies. Jason Applebaum discovers his once lost joy in having hard drive space with TreePie. Shannon show her affection for our mechanical friends with ElectricSheep. Darren wish peace for the whole graphics art world with InkScape. Finally Paul decks the halls with a few of his applications for OSX.
Matt Lestock returns and brings us the skinny on converting physical servers into virtual servers and piping 'em right into your ESXi box while Darren takes the scenic route on a Linux Apache Tomcat install with some Java and bash lovin'.
