What's wrong with int0x80 being on the show. He's segment was great, and fully explained everything that needed to be explained... if you didn't know some of the basic things he covered.... Google it, or find a different show to watch.

Nice video. Some time ago I ran into little program that bundles all this into one executable. Sometimes I use network installs instead of burning DVDs, so this is handy. You can find the code here: brokestream . com / netboot.html

Good thing about this application is that you don't need any daemon installed. It handles DHCP and TFTP services. Get PXE config and images, and you are good to go. Ubuntu has these already made and available for download on their FTP under netinst directory. :)

Wait, this guy is showing us how to do stuff!? Not talking about beer or German food or making in jokes and small talk? Sure this is Hak5?

Still like normal Hak5 videos however, this one is just a bit more as expected.

I like this guy, I hope we see more of him

[abrahamcuenca]

[phaedrusalt]

int 80 sucks. Sorry, but he's high on himself, and annoying. Since they added him and that idiot rapper-news-reader the show's gone downhill.

Why no explain DNSmasq, or mounting root file sys via NFS. you installed the deamon for it. . .

Neat nibble anyway :)
