My most frustrating part about hacking scenes is when the hacker furiously types about 1000 characters but on the screen you clearly see them only typing in two or three words lmao

For me it's typing complete filenames without using Tab to complete, if they want to show someone typing fast they'll better do it right

It also bothers me that they never show hackers reading or researching anything. They just always know every command they want to type off the top of their head.

It's important to note that his worm didn't crash the site -- it was basically harmless. The only thing it did was add him as a friend and put the text "but most of all, samy is my hero" on your profile. MySpace shut down their servers in order to clean it up which cost them in man hours but he didn't damage anything.

But that's because it's not funny, it's sad (what movies do). Also I find that he is still way too lenient. It's better than in his first video, but still lenient. An example at the end showed a capture of existing commands. Yes they are actual commands, but it still made no sense. I find this takes me out more of a movie/show than old movies did with their senseless "hacking 100%" progress bar. It's like a movie going "look aren't we smart, we know you need a hammer to put in a nail" and then goes on to throw hammers at the nail.

[@JimBob1937]

Though, I disagree that it isn't related to hacking, as hacking is a culture of understanding various technologies overall. However, even more directly, you may 'hack' a computer system via something known as Van Eck phreaking, whereby you can eavesdrop on electronic equipment by the electromagnetic waves being generated by their operation. These days a lot of security research is being done around side channel attacks, so knowledge of electronics is increasingly important.

That one where I think they used a felt marker, but the tip was a barrel plug they popped into the bottom of a hotel room lock? That's real and it's hilarious. It's the 2012 Onity lock hack and you basically just set up an Arduino to peek at the lock's memory and play back a code to it, which it obligingly unlocks for. It worked on about 1/4 of the affected locks and really was miniaturized into marker bodies.

Diplomas, degrees, and certificates are about as meaningful as nutrition labels on food. They COULD be important in some ways and in some situations but most people don't look at it or care about it as long as the food isn't woefully misrepresented.

Or, the hack: find a vulnerability (probably a 0day) that bypasses this dialog. No need to install software that might not already be on the computer, just hope they’re running a vulnerable browser (or just dumb and clicked “allow” to see cute doggies, *much* more likely).
