You can’t expect every expert to watch every movie and tv show of their own job.

[@mrkiky]

@@MrWarrenRB Yea but it's nicer like this anyway.

[@andmicbro1]

Yeah, quite refreshing! I also found her ratings pretty good, like she gave good points for the stuff that was done well, and properly rated the bad ones low. Though her criticism of the time is a hard one, most movies have time compressions because they can't sit there and show you a real hack in real time or that would be the whole movie's runtime. Even for "based on a true story" scenarios, thye often have a lot of time compression for events that happened over a longer space of time. If it's comically short, then yeah, it should be low rated. But for a real life hack that is show to take a few hours as opposed to a few more hours, I think we can cut them some slack.

[@Bunny99s]

Also she's glossing over the fancy 3d fly-by math formula, greek character screen-saver effect in Hackers because it's clear that this is just a mental image for the audience and should explain the thought process in his brain which of course you can't really visualize. Many often claim that Hackers was soo unrealistic, but some parts were just a bit exaggerated. I started programming 30 years ago and I have to confess that I actually did write some fancy visual tools back then, just for fun. I dived deep into OpenGL around 2000. I always was and still am a sucker for technology. About a year ago I wrote my own DNS server in C# just for fun. I do actually run it with mono on my raspberry pi to this day. So it is in use, but not really for important stuff. I'm more interested in how things work. I read so many specifications. One of my favourite ones was the GIF specification. I wrote a gif loader and I was impressed by the format design. Especially that it was actually really extensible. PNG kinda followed the footsteps and is also "chunking" the file so a parser could simply ignore chunks it does not understand. It's kinda sad that animated gif support was better back then. Nowadays the Graphic Control Extension is always interpreted as a sequance of frames to conduct an animation. However back then it was actually possible to create gif files with images with more than 256 colors by splitting the colors up into several frames which were painted on top of each other. Gif actually uses a virtual canvas and contains write instructions for pixel image data but also could render text.

@@disco.lemonade Mostly agree. The same is kinda true of the whole show, it's pretty much all possible but probably wouldn't be done by such a small group and/or in such a short amount of time. Points to consider though, firstly that nation-state threat actors were involved and there was a lot going on the background, and we don't exactly get every piece of the story. Second, as far as getting rid of the backdoor, wasn't the Mr. Robot alter already aware of this information? That was probably more a hole in the plot than in the technicals, though that also is not necessarily a hole...the show was riddled with bizarre internal conflicts between the alters(Tyrell: "You, as a person, make no sense"). Ultimately if the show was any more realistic, it'd be a documentary. Aside from the hacking portions, I'd also like to see different aspects of this show rated by intelligence officials, law enforcement officials, and psychologists. Like the creepy personnel tactics of the Dark Army("Have you ever cried during sex?" "Have you ever cheated on your wife?"), law enforcement procedures("Green! FBI! Don't shoot!" "We call it the python approach."), and the nature of dissociative identity disorder. Seems like one of these Hollywood realism clips mentioned Dom keeping her gun and badge in a locked safe at her house but I can't remember.

[@Enrique-Garcia]

There's actually a very good reason why they'd use "impossible" IP addresses in movies, and that's to simply avoid accidentally posting someone's actual IP address and setting them up for potential cyber-harassment. It's the same reason they used to use "555" for everyone's phone number, because people were actually attempting to call those numbers. Nowadays it's easy to buy a phone number used in a movie, the studio will use it as a marketing tool or simply not activate it, and for URLs mentioned in movies they'll do the same, register it and then use it as a marketing site or simple redirect to their studio website. Can't really do that with IP addresses.

[@_Tomon]

Was wondering if there would be this comment about the IP addresses already and wasn't dissapointed. Honestly that's one of the mistakes I think actually shows that they know what they're doing (or don't and got lucky :-D )

[@Enrique-Garcia]

@@_Tomon I know for sure, bigger productions do a thorough search on anything that can be mistaken or misused. They even check character names, they don't want to risk getting sued because anyone of note with the same name as someone in the movie might be defamed. So I'm sure they also check things like IPs and phone numbers (remember until recently, all movie phone numbers started with 555. Now, studios buy the phone numbers mentioned in the movie and use them as marketing).

I love that her only complaint about Hackers was the lack of seeing the code. Thank you, people rip on it all the time for being inaccurate - but we're never actually shown enough code to know if its accurate: instead we experience what it Feels Like for the hackers, not specifically the steps they go through. Also, because we don't see them taking specific actions, the movie is timeless - it doesn't date itself to the early 90's. Hackers is arguably the best hacker movie ever made, it doesn't teach you anything about How To hack, but it explores why and why not.

[@screminmemes]

It is one of my all time favorite movies with one of the greatest soundtracks (why I still listen to The Prodigy and Orbital to this day.) My gripe though was always the silly scenes where they are flying through this computer landscape representing the company's network and stuff. I know, it's Hollywood Hacking but they could have at least off set that with some actual code.

People rip on it because it *isn't* accurate. But it's not supposed to be. It's entertainment, not educate or documentary. And yes, it very much dates itself to the 90's... payphones, "686", "RISC", BBS's, hacking the cable company's _VCR!_ ... And the f'ing "gibson". No computer has EVER looked like that.

In some ways, the errors in the terminal session graphics in Mr. Robot (season 1) bothered me more (or in different ways) than shows which don't even try to be realistic. Like, if you're seriously trying to be realistic, actually get the fine details right. Stuff I remember included having the command prompt printed at the left of the output of the command, so you know they didn't actually set up a test network that would let them just run `nmap` or whichever command it was. Like, you were so close, but clearly just made this image in an image editor, not on a real terminal session. Or another scene had the arguments backwards to ln for making a symlink. It's ln -s target_name link_name_to_create not the other way around. I've used GNU/Linux as my desktop OS for about 25 years, mostly with the command line other than a web browser. Plot-wise I appreciated the accuracy of what hacks can/can't do, but the expectation of accuracy made things like that break suspension of disbelief for me for a few minutes each time, and made me want to double-check every other screen image.

[@Peter_Cordes]

@@justincruz5720 - My issue wasn't with any "hacking commands" or techniques, instead with the basic appearance of the UI sometimes, or with a basic command like `ln` (similar to file-copy, a bit like DOS `copy`). As an analogy, imagine if Top Gun had had incredibly realistic dogfighting techniques, but occasionally they left the landing gear down while doing so. (More people know about planes than about Unix/Linux, and it's not a perfect analogy.) Or maybe a Windows analogy: if somebody ran a program, and its window appeared behind the desktop icons instead of on top. People who use Windows regularly would be saying "WTF" the one time that happened; people who don't might not notice. If the things that bothered me don't bother other people, that's great. It wasn't a showstopper for my enjoyment of the show, but it did bug me and stick in my memory. The realism of the actual hacking was great, just an occasional error in the super basics, like having the command prompt appear at the left of output lines of a command. So if they had a Unix/Linux user reviewing the screen images, that one slipped through the cracks. As for getting `ln` args backwards, that's more understandable; I sometimes have to think about it when I use it, and from some perspectives it seems backwards. So that's just an amusing reminder that they mock this stuff up in an image editor instead of actually running it. Easy to imagine someone getting that backwards even if they do know Unix/Linux command line tools. But still, if you notice it, it's a clear reminder this isn't real. :/

He said it was amazing how many places he could get without even showing an ID...and how many more he could get just flashing a badge. People will always be the weakest link.

Gloves that also cover your finger tips are (as mentioned in the video) generally terrible to type in; as you lose dexterity and feeling. Of course some people wear them just for the style points...

The Wachowskis are no slouches when it comes to computer knowledge. They had to rewrite the original script in order to make it more accessible to laypeople. Humans weren't supposed to be batteries, but sub-processors that gave the machines more power.

[@digitalcyclone7218]

@@joelcastro-reyes1667 I'm actually still salty about that because it wasn't even their choice. they only did it because the higher-ups wanted it to be more "easier to grasp". now because of that, the matrix has one gigantic logical flaw poked into it.

Remember when the FBI played the game with Apple by "asking them" for some access to a device as if it wasn't very easy. As a Network administrator i was surprised at how many people thought and still think Apple has some sort of super security and android doesn't when they are both Linux.

*Mr. Robot* shows the most realistic, accurate and the best hacking ever shown in all of movies, series or whatever. On the basis of the reason she told for giving Mr. Robot hacking scene the 9/10, I think it should have been 9.5 instead of 9 as it's almost equally big mistake as in The Matrix Reloaded.

[@trjozsef]

22:34 I don't agree with her. Whenever a fake something is shown people will mess with it. You don't want to be responsible for something getting DDoSed because your number generator ended up spitting out that number. This is why movies and TV use the 555 phone numbers.

[@DakotaActually]

"her impressive credentials" are all basically self appointed credentials. She hypes herself up(shes a "senior researcher"), talks about how she's the white knoght of the internet, gets people that know what they were doing to do stuff, reports what it was after reading. She wrote about LIFE advice, that's her big book.. She is also and "Internet activist" aka a grifter. As for "Her research works and writings" have "been featured" by people, that's a false appeal to authority. As for this specific video, she lost all crediability in the first clip, not understanding they had a unique GUI. And yes, I get some of this wasn't included here, I figured I would address it all. Honestly she reminds me a lot of that pharma lady who is on trial right now.

I’m a digital forensics and network security tech and she is so right on a lot of these points. When I did a security training for a bank I handed out password generators just so people did reuse passwords. I have done several CTFs and got to do Def Con once. So much fun. I’m terrible at them I score around the low 1000s, best I got was mid 500s (complete luck and a leap of faith). The team ones are so much more fun then the solo ones (at least for me). Was team leader twice and we had a monitor where I watched what everyone else was doing, again only scored low 1000s. I’m just not a great hacker, haha. As for PIN number sounds, there was a book that told you what numbers to hit to play songs.
