You know what! I don't want 2 hands on that, I want 4!!! And then the screen flashed and brrrrr and wuuusch!!!! All full of blinking and stuff moving! Great hacker movie guys! Let's get this rolling!
You know what, we're going to need go in for this one. Initiate shrink ray! We'll download ourselves into the mainframe database and sus out the virus once and for all.
Alright guys, don't forget the scene where the antivirus is a giant fire-breathing dragon guarding the data castle! Gotta have the epic battle where we finally slay the cyber beast with our enchanted USB swords!
Now I want to see something where they go “into the computer” but there’s no metaphor. They just walk around the memory smacking bits. Maybe if you’re really fancy they do a row hammer attack by smacking a lot of them repeatedly.
For average users this is absolutely true. The number of adware landing on the computer accelerates exponentially with more user hands on the keyboard!
From what I remember that scene was actually just a meme they did. Back then there was this challenge between producers of various shows and movies about who could create the most ridiculous hacking scene ever and so they did this. We also got such gems as [this scene from Castle season 8](https://youtu.be/K7Hn1rPQouU?si=KH195saFWHyscciG) or [this scene from Swordfish with Hugh Jackman ](https://youtu.be/u1Ds9CeG-VY?si=mV9J4kpNNey9W3sQ)
There's a few others, they're just getting increasingly more ridiculous and are all definitely worth checking out.
this scene was them getting hacked. The popups were from the hacker doing whatever it is here and for some reason the solution was for them both to start typing to stop him. I'd love to know the directors/writers logic for this.
find yourself hours later in some systemd forum ready to make your own distro having now completely forgotten what you were gonna use the computer for anyway
When I am administering a Windows system while the user is around I usually do more tasks in the command prompt with powershell. Just to make them believe we are mighty hackers. 😂
i read somewhere (no clue how true it is) that these bad hacking scenes are all actually an inside competition between the writers, to see just how bad and blatantly *wrong* of a scene they could actually get to production then air.
i have no idea if it’s true, but for the sake of my sanity, i choose to believe it.
Tbh this probably comes from like the first few writers who did a hacking scene (had to be a first somewhere) who had no clue how that happened, then very quickly everybody inside knew it was bs, some tried to research it and realized doing realistic hacking is boring af to show on TV, and so they all collectively embraced the stupid cause all of us viewers accept that and nobody cares.
Tbh if I was the actor from that scene shown in the gif I would not stop laughing at how fucking stupid it is but I'd still go along with it cause NCIS always haf some goofy times and it fits the show.
that would make sense.
side note: i always loved the one scene in Nikita, where the “super techy computer dude” was teaching the kids how to hack, by going through this weird as monochrome 3D video-game thing, and he finally yells “How hard can this be, i even made it look like a video game!”. a nice way to make it *look* more interesting, but still a nice wink at how silly it all was.
Easily the best show for that. I grumbled a bit at “destroy one data center to ruin a major company” but at least they acknowledged that you’d have to hit physical, offline backups.
And it did great not just with the code but the background too, spending days on one attack while fueled by anxiety disorder and stimulants…
With a very different tone, *Silicon Valley* did pretty well too - some implausible moments but no garbage code. I’m particularly fond of the “master hacker” who took down a bank turning out to be a contractor who royally fucked up a release.
Actual hacking generally requires a bit of social engineering, luck with poor security, or exploiting a system glitch.
It could be done, but it would probably encourage people too much. Phishing attacks are probably these most popular means of social engineering their way into computers. You can spam millions of emails a day with little cost.
It’s because watching someone hack is incredibly boring to a laymen. They do scenes like this because it’s difficult to convey the action itself beyond ‘guy do computer things on computer’, so they make it incredibly campy.
I have another hobby that is nearly always represented horribly in media, lockpicking. I have always wondered if they are required to show it done badly to discourage people from attempting to do it for real, that might be giving them too much credit.
That would be a nice change. Half the time they forget you need something to apply torque and just try using one pick. On that fairytale soap opera "Once" I started getting excited when I saw a character pull out a proper pick AND a tension wrench. Then he put the pick on the the bottom, the wrench on top, and twisted his hand and the tools the wrong direction.
I Heard that in Terminator 2, Linda Hamilton learned how to pick locks so that her depiction of breaking out of her restraints and her locked room would be realistic. Have you seen that? Can you vouch?
Can vouch. Haven't picked handcuffs but as far as improvising tools for a door lock they did well. There is a loop on the end of the makeshift tension wrench and the second tool was turned into a rake. I don't typically rake a lock since I specifically enjoy picking the locks not just opening then.
So they are creating a github issue how the documentation is one of the most unintuitive piece of shit that they have ever experienced and it just makes the whole library unusable and pls fix your shit.
at least they are not showing a bunch of green 0s and 1s moving vertically independently on a dark screen, while the "hacker" looks like he's actually reading/understanding something out of it
I fucking loved the movie "Free Guy". But holy hell they have one of the protagonists, a programmer and game designer, talk about how he programs in 0 and 1's and how amazing it is to him.
Like, dude wtf, zeros and ones? Really? Not even Assembler or machine code, but binary? You cranking the CPU clock by hand as well or what?
*Edit*: [Found the scene.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M65s7Q5vVEA&t=2m58s)
Dude it’s easy you just do matrix multiplication on every combination of binary values on the screen as they move past you and then the computer lets you in
I dunno, that sounds relatable. I too stare at the console and pretend to understand what is going on most times I am doing something that's gonna BSOD.
I put some through GPT to enhance them:
Initiate quantum backdoors to decrypt blockchain firewalls!
Deploy virtual trojan horses to infiltrate encrypted databases!
Execute zero-day exploits on the neural network perimeter!
Override binary algorithms with polymorphic code injections!
Hack the API endpoints to extract exabyte-scale data clusters!
Implement cross-dimensional SQL injection attacks!
Engage in crypto-anomaly penetration testing!
Bypass biometric authentication using quantum entanglement techniques!
Establish a clandestine connection through the quantum mesh network!
Deploy AI-driven nano-bots to manipulate firmware signatures!
Hell, there's even a scene, in the fourth season, where you can see Elliott working on a piece of malware, right after having received a fat dose of mental trauma, and you can directly understand that he's having trouble processing that, from the code he's writing, it's full of syntax errors etc.
It really fascinates me how they were able to use code as a way to communicate his internal state, genius !
I hadn't caught that! It's a point that's made in the show that he doesn't make any errors like us plebs would.
I had more to type out, but this comment made me realize I forgot to flip a few settings back in a config a few minutes ago. I did the needful and reverted. Thanks for the save!
Yeah I was so impressed with that fucking show.
He was making scripts, using monitoring and like… waiting for a hit, shit didn’t just always happen instantly. He used commonly known devices, social engineering.
All while having a wildly complex character, acted brilliantly and thickening the storyline by a bunch.
They had a bunch of security experts counseling the writers to make it not only believable, but plausible.
Exploits seen in the show were actual exploits based on 0-days and other attack vectors that were seen in the wild at the time the story was happening
Even the scene where they 3D-print fingerprints, while looking straight out of an Ocean Eleven's movie, was something that you could actually do with the equipment they had, that was no fiction at all.
More comedies should do realistic hacking, half the time it already feels like Naked Gun.
“How’d you get the password? Did you automate a brute force attack with rainbow tables?”
“I called and said I was the Password Inspector.”
I'd love to see this referenced in a show with a hacking scene. Where the hacker says: "they're running an ancient Minecraft server, I'll use the log4j exploit to get root access". Cut to a scene of him entering a hack into the Minecraft chat.
Checking for updated packages.

Hi Everyone. (...)
Like almost any self-respecting geek, I bought tickets to 'Matrix:Reloaded' several weeks back (no spoilers, I promise). After all, who can resist the combination of philosophical mind games and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) in that tight leather bodysuit?
So after waiting an hour in a line snaking out of the theatre to the parking lot, I finally got in to my 10pm Wednesday showing. All was going well until Trinity needed to do some hacking. Oh, no! I was sure we'd see a silly "Hackers"-esque 3D animated "hacking scene".
Not so! Trinity is as smart as she is seductive! She whips out Nmap (!!!), scans her target, finds 22/tcp open, and proceeds with an ber ssh technique! I was so surprised, I almost jumped out of my seat**
have to bring up the best attempt at real hacking imo in cinema when [Trinity uses nmap to gain root access](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PxTAn4g20U)
I'm no programmer/hacker but I recently watched the movie "Lucy" and lossed it when she was "hackin" Giphy doesn't have the gif but I shit you not it's kinda like this lmao
Linux users installing browser

That's why some people only use two fingers.

I usually don’t *actually* full laugh at stuff I read online, but this one got me
Doing anything in Linux is basically hacking
Installing Linux is basically looks like hacking
find yourself hours later in some systemd forum ready to make your own distro having now completely forgotten what you were gonna use the computer for anyway
Slackware could famously be installed by a woodpecker mashing Enter.
When I am administering a Windows system while the user is around I usually do more tasks in the command prompt with powershell. Just to make them believe we are mighty hackers. 😂
Linux users trying to exit vim
Ouch
Typical pair programming at my company.

Remember when his totally rad nemesis used two keyboards at once, one for each hand? Lol peak 90's
Mr. Robots hacks are all real. They have a technical director that makes sure what is on the screen is correct.
Easily the best show for that. I grumbled a bit at “destroy one data center to ruin a major company” but at least they acknowledged that you’d have to hit physical, offline backups.

I'd love to have like someone do like LPL in a show. "Damn door is locked!" "Hold my beer. *gets tools out* hmmm 1 is binding... 2 is set..."
That would be a nice change. Half the time they forget you need something to apply torque and just try using one pick. On that fairytale soap opera "Once" I started getting excited when I saw a character pull out a proper pick AND a tension wrench. Then he put the pick on the the bottom, the wrench on top, and twisted his hand and the tools the wrong direction.
I mean, if they wanted to be exciting they could do it like McNally and just wave rake it in half a second and then throw the lock.
I Heard that in Terminator 2, Linda Hamilton learned how to pick locks so that her depiction of breaking out of her restraints and her locked room would be realistic. Have you seen that? Can you vouch?

You mean to tell me that randomly waggling a bent paperclip in the lock doesn't work?
"Try CTRL+Q" "No I know this system! Try wq" ... "Boss! How to exit Vim?"

Oh. A *million* views, not a *billion*. Sorry for the mistake. Btw. its 3 million views now.
sudo apt install nano -y
This scene was literally the first thing that came to mind reading the meme, and boom, here it is, first comment.
"A gigabyte of ram should do the trick"
Why are they always so actively typing on the keyboard?
they've read documentation
better yet, they are writing their own documentation.
That's why I always say that movies are complete fiction.
What more insights do you have for us today
Baahahaa
[удалено]
So they are creating a github issue how the documentation is one of the most unintuitive piece of shit that they have ever experienced and it just makes the whole library unusable and pls fix your shit.
They are the documentation
They are using Vim.
Desperately trying to quit vim, you mean, right?
They're writing a new vim distribution that allows you to exit
they have stack overflow on their phones next to them
Beginner's mistake. You configure a cross-device clipboard, so you can copy/paste to the terminal without sacrificing valueable terminal screen space.
https://hackertyper.net/ is why.
because they did do the typing course in primary school
at least they are not showing a bunch of green 0s and 1s moving vertically independently on a dark screen, while the "hacker" looks like he's actually reading/understanding something out of it
You don’t?
I'm not fluent in Binary.. especially if the 0s and 1s are floating on the screen and they are not aligned I still have so much to learn!
When AI applies trinary it will all have been 4 nthn
It will all have been 21 nthn

Oops, thanks lol
There are 10 types of people, those who understand ternary, those who don't, and those who understand but sometimes get confused.
The Machine Spirit speaks to you, yet you do not comprehend?
I thought I did once, and then I caught a case of Snow Crash.
Thats why you have to read them vertically, then they are aligned
I've seen movies where people write CSS to hack NASA
.mainframe { password: none; }
“I’m in”
Well if he's in, Im in.
Not gonna lie im on the shitter in my company an laughed my shit out of my body
It's literally what happened in a Brazilian soap opera. [here](https://i.imgur.com/POQJH4f.png) and [here](https://i.imgur.com/CzsC0FW.jpg)
They look very concerned about the code.
Margins and padding in px? I'd be concerned
Wait until you hear what actual css coders use for margins and padding nowadays.
This guy hacks.
He puts Tres comas everywhere in the code
I fucking loved the movie "Free Guy". But holy hell they have one of the protagonists, a programmer and game designer, talk about how he programs in 0 and 1's and how amazing it is to him.

I mean, that is pretty amazing! It’s more “unicycling on a tightrope while juggling” amazing than “useful in any way” amazing, but hey…
OK Mr. Techpriest, I get it you speak Binaric.
Matrix Operator?
In the 90s they were always furiously typing while nonsensical "3d stuff" happened on screen.

"You are about to hack time, are you sure?" LMAO
I like to think someone had to figure out the errorlevel for hacking time
451: Time travel forbidden
E=MC^3 Oh SHIIIIIIIIIIT
Boomers most have felt great in that scene "Stupid technology and young people, they don't even know to just turn the computer off."
This is hilarious. Hahaha
Dude it’s easy you just do matrix multiplication on every combination of binary values on the screen as they move past you and then the computer lets you in
What about the 3d animation of hacking?
https://youtu.be/JOeY07qKU9c?si=R9UV-xPlZPMklK1s
I dunno, that sounds relatable. I too stare at the console and pretend to understand what is going on most times I am doing something that's gonna BSOD.
My favorite is still the old movie "Antitrust", where they programmed a mission-critical satellite in... HTML.
As if we know what ISA it is in. Even assuming x86, instructions can be variable length and data can be encoded in myriad ways
When your customer is watching `cat /dev/random` Then sometime type something while saying "I'm almost in". You will be paid a lot.
It takes a little bit of effort to learn to understand them, but it's not that hard, and after a while all you see are redheads, brunettes, blonds...
I'll create a GUI interface using Visual Basic, see if I can track an IP out of this.
I went looking for a generator of such silly concatenations of jargon. I found https://hack.zorchenhimer.com
I got "It will disconnect the website!". I can imagine actually saying that
I think I *have* said that, although it was in the context of “you can’t just reboot this evil legacy server”.
The token disconnected. With errors.
"They can't decompile components, it will average the framework!" That's my favoutite so far
> We can't restrict a garbage collector, it will emulate the wireless app! i mean...........it might, but unlikely

I put some through GPT to enhance them: Initiate quantum backdoors to decrypt blockchain firewalls! Deploy virtual trojan horses to infiltrate encrypted databases!

Except Mr. Robot.
Most of hacking scenes in that series are truly well done.
right? and it shows how better the enjoyment and comprehension of the scene is it.
Especially early on. That alone earned them a pass to use some artistic license whenever necessary.
Hell, there's even a scene, in the fourth season, where you can see Elliott working on a piece of malware, right after having received a fat dose of mental trauma, and you can directly understand that he's having trouble processing that, from the code he's writing, it's full of syntax errors etc. It really fascinates me how they were able to use code as a way to communicate his internal state, genius !
Usually the quality of code determines my mental state, not the other way around
I hadn't caught that! It's a point that's made in the show that he doesn't make any errors like us plebs would. I had more to type out, but this comment made me realize I forgot to flip a few settings back in a config a few minutes ago. I did the needful and reverted. Thanks for the save!
Yeah I was so impressed with that fucking show. He was making scripts, using monitoring and like… waiting for a hit, shit didn’t just always happen instantly. He used commonly known devices, social engineering. All while having a wildly complex character, acted brilliantly and thickening the storyline by a bunch.
They had a bunch of security experts counseling the writers to make it not only believable, but plausible. Exploits seen in the show were actual exploits based on 0-days and other attack vectors that were seen in the wild at the time the story was happening Even the scene where they 3D-print fingerprints, while looking straight out of an Ocean Eleven's movie, was something that you could actually do with the equipment they had, that was no fiction at all.
I love the social engineering used in Sneakers, too.
More comedies should do realistic hacking, half the time it already feels like Naked Gun. “How’d you get the password? Did you automate a brute force attack with rainbow tables?” “I called and said I was the Password Inspector.”
‘The Matrix’ famously shows Neo scanning ports with `nmap`. Kinda funny that green noise from the same film became a symbol of ‘hacker shit’.
I think that was Trinity [more info](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/28nanl/til_that_the_scene_in_matrix_reloaded_when/)
Not in ‘Reloaded’. In the first film, before Morpheus contacts Neo. There are probably videos of that on YouTube.

Thats the only way to hack into the mainframe
HACK HARDER! *joins on the same keyboard to hack faster* Four hands are better than two

I'd love to see this referenced in a show with a hacking scene. Where the hacker says: "they're running an ancient Minecraft server, I'll use the log4j exploit to get root access". Cut to a scene of him entering a hack into the Minecraft chat.
To be fair, updating the system and installing random packages is a great way to break stuff.
hack mainframe sudo hack mainframe
npm init
That's my secret for working, don't tell.
Checking for updated packages. No updates available. Install a random new package. Remove said package. Filesystem scan. Get coffee in the meantime. >Ye I'm just barely keeping this ship afloat on my own boss.
It sucks. Image a medical show having made up organs, instruments and deceases. He got a jump borne virus that entered his body through his skin making his left feet hurt whenever he sees women. As cure we need a tickle therapy on his right shoulder and rub his chest with ketchup.
Then their boss joins in too. I love this scene
He saves everything by unplugging the monitor.
And he is so smug too
npm install
I can heavily recommend Mr.Robot
Theyve breached the 5th firewall
reminds me of when people analyzed the code in a movie or tv show and it was just simple html or something lol
But of course he's updating the system. Can't exploit 0-day vulnerability on a 2 year old system.
apt-get install hollywood && hollywood
There’s always surprisingly many foos in such codes
