Wow Darren. Explaining DNS after a accident and out of it on meds!
That shows amazing dedication to the show and your fans.
Maybe next week you could talk about sub/supernetting while over a tank of sharks
Thanks for a informative and entertaining (at your expense)
Get well soon.

“Hello my name is, erm….” Get well soon and keep off those pills!
Thanks for the DNS chat.
is that a glass of wine I see? ..with the meds? no wonder you’re on cloud nine!! : D
Great episode It cleared up alot of issues I’ve been having with DNS. Keep up the great work.
Dont mix alcohol and medication !
Great to see that your getting better
For a second there at 10 minutes in I thought he forgot he was recording a show.
I had every intention of editing that bit out but forgot to. Oops.
Honestly, I would keep it in. I wouldnt suggest getting into a motorcycle accident but there is certainly a different kind of charm when you give the show out of your mind on pain meds.
Keep up the good work man, and get well soon.
It’s one of the best moments of the show ever dude!.
keeping it in was the right thing to do. Made it look like Hak5 of old. Being to pro and smooth makes it bit boring.
Being able to do that yet still making it look pro and not boring is what makes Hak5 good
Show was awesome as always.
Anyone any ideas why I cant register for the forums? Tried multiple time with no success? cheers
Everyone all way’s complains that Darren is to hyper, but now that he is “subdued” , I want the good ol’ hyper Darren back….
But Anyways , get well soon!
the itunes quicktime small file (the video that i got via my podcast subscription in itunes) seems to be corrupted. it is only 39 seconds long. i thought maybe something went wrong with the download, tried downloading it a few more times and each time it was only 39 seconds long. just thought you should know.
We need to send Darren some “stuff” next week see how the podcast is like then.
If it is wine. then its port wine i guess because he pauses at port
Two questions:
1. What are your thoughts on wildcard DNS entries?
2. What wine are you drinking?
wow!!! wine + percs= a ton of lol cats!!!!
sounds like hak5′s going to the dark side!!!! (vader breath) enjoy the cookies!!!
Tripping Balls during the show. Watching Darren go down and then up = amazing!
I like the planed 1 minute break at 10:30.
Gave me som time catch-up. ^^
Top ep. Very informative and hugely entertaining.
Glad to see I’m not the only person who drinks booze while on über-strong codeine-based-painkillers
ROFLMAO!!!
This is great! Save some of the meds for next week!
Love the Strongbad email reference. Had to pause the show and laugh.
GreaT stuff. Im taking a CEH class and this is helping alot.
LQ (via WWW or RSS) gives just a 40sec-vid with an ad for The Ben Heck Show here…
Awesome episode! Keep up the good work!
You explained it better on drugs then my teacher while completely sober. Also very much entertaining. This is why I love this show so much!
Good episode Darren,
Nicely done especially given how tweaked you were, heal quick matey..
Love the show man. I look forward to new episodes every week. Keep them coming!
Best Hak5 I have seen yet…
Lots of info and funny as hell… hope you feel better already Darren and thanks for the dedication…

DNS bruteforcing is acctually just searching subdomains from some site , you know there are some websites that do that just put link and it will list all subdomains of website… Anyway I like how you explained how DNS works…
Dude glad your ok with the motorcycle accident. Where you warriding?
Thanks for explaining DNS, I am always trying to learn and this show was awesome!…great help!…u are a fucking beast bro.
thanks awesome job..
Just thought I’d mention, as a few have already above, that there seems to be a problem with the encoding on this episode as it is only playing a 39 second clip of the Ben Heck Show.
Great show, create up the great work.
“Shit i dont want to get in to load balancing” lol
Interesting stuff about DNS. But please, let the image from the command line stay put longer. I know how you look by now
