The Palm Centro has the ability to do a system lockout with access to the SIM only by using a PIN code. If you set this lockout, when you power cycle your phone, you can only have access to the lockout menu. You can either enter your PIN, choose cancel, or choose make emergency call. If you choose make emergency call and go through a few buttons, you can enter the hardware of the Centro. From the main menu of one of these phones, you can access the users contacts, SMS messages, photos, apps, games, notes, and more. Here is a walkthrough of how to bypass the lockout:
How to Bypass Your Palm Centro Security
To help protect your phone from this kind of issue, you can use a program like Warden Security. Sadly, it costs a whopping $14.95, and no one wants to spend that much on an app!

Where is the sweet new graphics for the site that Darren talked about? They looked awesome!
He is talking about the graphics in the episode. And they are awesome.
YEA!!!! About time someone else used the term “tack”.
Wow, I must say I very much enjoyed this ep! I loved the idea of haklabs, and the other stuff you folks are talking about. I must say I lol’d pretty hard when ya’ll talked about… ‘yall’. I live in South MS, so.. obviously I have known the word since back in the day
This really blindsided me that this ep. is so cool! Hey Matt, I just wanted to say you startled me a little with what your segment was about!!! Reason being I just started CCNA 3 yesterday(well. day before by now) and I just got reading chapter 2 about trunking, vlans, and 10gigEthernet.
Trying to see if my teacher will let us watch this today in class
Really great episode. Love the new graphics. It would be awesome if you brought evil server back from season 4. But everything else was amazing! Keep up the good work!

Loving new set guys, though the ep seemed a bit dark at times.
Great start to the new season!!
With regards to Grub2, I tried it, and couldn’t get it to boot my truecrypt encrypted Windows partition (so I reverted to legacy grub until a guide comes out!) If the hak5 crew or anyone else can help with this, I would appreciate it. My old grub menu.lst section looked like (which works flawlessly):
#########################
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader (hd0,1)/boot/truecrypt.mbr
boot
#########################
I tried things like:
menuentry “Windows” {
set root=(hd0,0)
chainloader (hd0,1)/truecrypt.mbr
}
But I get various different error messages… I’m sure i’ve missed a line
that should probably say
chainloader (hd0,1)/boot/truecrypt.mbr
I did test it with the correct paths!

lcdwall page up. sorry about that.
Hey guys. Like the new set, the mini monitors are really sweet.
@TheGeek I agree, you need more direct lighting on yourselves, The dark red/velvet colour background really means you have to make yourselves stand out with full lighting.
I’m well interested in producing a video loop, will have to play with some linux video editors and the assets pack you’ve posted.
Awsome guys. looking forward to s06e02
woah,
All sorts of wordpress comment component, server farts after posting the comment there. Looks like the comment still showed up, just had to re-enter the url for the shows page after being presented with several php session error messages.
Anyway, enough nit picking, sorry guys
hehe, just noticed the “borrowed” google labs / gears symbol in the hak5 labs logo. Very naurty.
Looking for download link to Grub 2.0. I found 1.97… Just got my 16GB flash drive in and ready to combine all my thumb drives.
