On episode five of Lifehacker, we're turning to the dark side, focusing on "evil" hacks for cracking Windows passwords, padlock combinations, Wi-Fi passwords, and a whole lot more. Knowledge is power, and it's up to you to decide how to use it. Be safe out there!
On this week's episode, we're taking a look at:
How to get student discounts forever (or at least while you're still getting on your feet after school)
How to hide files inside other files (also known as steganography)
We've been incorporating more original video with our posts in the past year, but the Lifehacker show represents a fun new supplement to the site. It doesn't replace what we do here every day, but our hope is that it will offer a new perspective on a few of our favorite tips. We're new at this whole video thing, and we're eager to hear your feedback. As a group of writers, we're not always the most dynamic on screen, but we're learning. Last week we untangled your wires and boosted your Wi-Fi, before that we hacked our weekends, upgraded our office, and learned a little about urban survival. Give it a watch and let us know what you think!
Grab it in any format you like: If you don't want to watch it in your browser right now, you can catch the show wherever you want, and in nearly whatever format you like. Visit the episode page on Revision3 to download HD or phone-friendly versions of the show in MP4 or WMV. You can also subscribe in iTunes or via RSS.
