Cybersecurity professor Scott Shapiro breaks down hacking films and TV shows

the side eye in skyfall got me

[@otiagomarques]

I saw a lot of videos like this one, but this beats them all off.

[@curiousworld7912]

I know less than nothing about coding or hacking, but I found your takes on the various films to be clear, understandable (even to me), and informative. Thank you - that was fun. :)

This guys explains concepts extremely well

13:00 The metadata is very useful. Before Turing got to Blechley Park, his boss was using the "metadata" to map the nazi positions. Later he moved to the US and helped the DoD to create a communications system that did not allow for network analysis. Years later he thought "well, everybody knows about the work we did so I'll write a book about that because the people should be remembered". After the book was published he had his US citizenship revoked and had to leave the country. A more serious issue is: where is "War Games" and "Codebreakers"??? Nice video, Professor Shapiro. How about a nice game of chess?

About the Mr Robot scene - I don't think he was aware that this happened in the middle of the night - like 3 AM or something, which explains the absense of all the people. Also, while the company AllSafe was doing the security for the biggest company in the world, they are not themselves an extremely large company. In fact, ECorp was responsible for something like 80% of their income. One might critique that such a company would never be responsible for the security of the biggest company in the world, but this is also explained later in the series that this was a decision made by the CEO of ECorp, because his daughter (who didn't know about being his daughter) Angela was working at AllSafe and he just wanted to be in a position where he can stay informed about what she was doing and whether she was doing well.

This was a really interesting video! I would like to hear more from Professor Shapiro. Thank you for making this!

Aw, no Jurassic Park? I still giggle at "It's a Unix system"...

[@Defkin]

Great video, would have loved to see him dig into the infamous NCIS hacking scene

This is very good 👍

In Snowden, Dr. Shapiro asked, "where are the supervisors?" But, here's the thing. Whatever security and oversight was in place, didn't prevent Snowden from obtaining and then revealing all this to the American people (and the world). How it's presented in the movie is irrelevant. He accomplished it. What bothered me at the time was that anyone could do what Snowden did at all. I would think that all this data was deep in some bunker, and nothing can be taken/sent out of there via exit scans and firewalls. The incident was recently repeated by an Air Force Reservist who uploaded classified data to a Bulletin Board. So.....they clearly didn't fix the problem such that another "Snowden" wouldn't ever happen again.

that was so interesting!

[@ceeslieshout4616]

eh, missed the GRANBOROUGH appearing in a HEX view? james didn't...Clearly deliberate put in, as the ip address .345. in the Net?

My man doesn’t look very healthy. I’m sure he is good at what he does. He looks like he hasn’t slept or eaten in a week.

[@PaladinDansesGirlfriend]

We learned from Chadwick Boseman that we don’t speculate on others health. Mind your own business

[@seanwebb605]

James Bond succeeds in doing the impossible. That's the premise of the entire series of books and films. And by regularly doing the impossible while face real dangers he gets all of the sex. All of the sex. Computer boy gets a warm laptop on his lap. That is all.

[@edamameedamame1202]

What happened to Professor’s brows?

[@otteotte7698]

Interesting! KInda annoying, though.

[@seanwebb605]

But why profess philosophy?

[@besomar7844]
