Hak5 Network Offline Archiver

This program downloads and organizes videos from the Hak5 network of shows.

Original idea by Phil Kauffman. https://github.com/papamoose/hak5

My idea is to have Plex understand this archive on the disk. We will see if that works out.

Supported shows include:

• Hak5
• HakTip
• Metasploit_Minute
• Pineapple_University
• TekThing
• Threat_Wire

Install

The program will probably only work on a Linux machine, but you can try on Windows or Mac if you want~

You will need Perl.

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install git youtube-dl libconfig-simple-perl

Fedora

sudo yum install git youtube-dl perl-Config-Simple perl-Digest-MD5 perl-Digest-SHA

Both

git clone https://github.com/nateinu/hak5

cd hak5

Configure (Optional)

• Set the download folder.
• Select which levels of subfolders you want to organize the files with.
• Set maximum number of threads to use when hashing.

cp hak5-download.cfg-example hak5-download.cfg

Edit the hak5-download.cfg file.

gedit hak5-download.cfg

Usage

Update meta-files from GitHub

git pull

Download everything you don't already have

./bin/hak5-download

Download one particular show

./bin/hak5-download --show Metasploit_Minute

Download one particular episode from a show

./bin/hak5-download --show TekThing --episode 14

The "--episode" flag uses regex, not numbers. This means crazy things can happen. (Or if you know regex, you can download season 18 of Hak5 for example. '--18..--')

Advanced Usage

Update meta-files by scraping web

./bin/hak5-update

Download new shows weekly

Add this to your crontab:

0 0 * * 0 /usr/bin/perl /home/$USER/hak5/bin/hak5-update 2>&1 >/dev/null

or

0 0 * * 0 /bin/bash -c "cd /home/$USER/hak5 ; git pull ; bin/hak5-download" 2>&1 >/dev/null

Check file hashes

./bin/hak5-hash --check --md5

or

./bin/hak5-hash --check --sha256 --remove --redownload

Make file hashes

./bin/hak5-hash --make

Watch files over ssh with ascii and audio

Instructions below are tested for when client and server are running Ubuntu 14.04.

TODO: Figure out how to get vlc to transcode the audio to a lower bitrate on the fly.

Setup

sudo apt-get install socat
socat TCP-LISTEN:22255,fork UNIX-CONNECT:$(pax11publish | awk -F ":" '{print $3; exit}') &
ssh -R 22255:localhost:22255 <user>@<server>
sudo apt-get install vlc libaa1-dev libcaca-dev

Watch

./bin/hak5-watch --show Metasploit_Minute --episode 34

or

./bin/hak5-watch --show Metasploit_Minute --episode 34 --color
