All crime TV is just godawful. Was just law and order and saw the tech person say "come on, you know there isn't a hard drive I can't lick"

[-] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 15 points 4 months ago

I'm now imagining David Caruso sitting there at his desk licking hard drives. Thanks a lot.

[-] Veritrax@lemmy.world 37 points 4 months ago

Hacking back in time in Kung Fury is easily the best, most accurate depiction of hacking in any media ever.

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 5 points 4 months ago

That's clearly parodying it though.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 15 points 4 months ago

You've obviously never hacked while wearing a powerglove

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Wait a minute...using an RX modulator, I might be able to conduct the mainframe cell layer and hack the uplink to the download. It means with the right computer algorithm, I can hack you back in time, just like a time machine.

For anyone wanting the opposite, Mr. Robot had great hacking scenes

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 19 points 4 months ago

Haven't seen that one, but the one I remember was from Matrix Reloaded. Trinity used Nmap to scan for vulnerabilities and then used a SSH1 CRC32 attack, which was a real world loophole in computers back then.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

And the tech world definitely noticed. There were a lot of discussions about how cool that was on blogs and forums back then. I think even Wired Magazine wrote about it.

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 8 points 4 months ago

The guy who wrote Nimap was apparently also very much stoked to see his tool being used when he watched it in cinema.

It also showed that realistic hacking could make for interesting screen drama. Hacking a offside backup company by coming in for an interview and installing a trojaned wifi router.

"I bet you right now some writer is working hard on a TV show that’ll mess up this generation’s idea of hacker culture."

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 months ago

In more than one meaning of the word "hack"; the axe scene was horrifying and so well done

The NCIS two-hackers-one-keyboard video is the metric by which all other suck is measured.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago

"It's a Unix system. I know this." was pretty good/bad.

[-] HuntressHimbo@lemm.ee 14 points 4 months ago

Doesn't that use an actual, but very uncommon 3d file explorer though?

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It does.

The weirdness is that the random 13 year old apparently both:

A) Has experience on a proprietary server file explorer only that was almost exclusively in use in huge data centers at the time. And... B) decides that the slow graphics heavy option is the right choice over a simple command line, while a raptor is actively breaking into the room to eat her.

Edit: and yes, I get that we're supposed to connect that her grandfather is rich and she grew up with all the best toys. Which arguably excuses A, anyway.

[-] Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 4 months ago

I don’t think any of those really apply.

She didn’t have experience with it, but she was good with computers. When she realized what she was looking at, she made the famous exclamation. Not all that different than people posting stuff to Linux in the wild threads.

Fsn is what was up on the screen, so that’s what she used. Probably easier than figuring out how to get to the command line on an unfamiliar system.

Oh, anything in hackers from '95

In hackers, hacking means to literally jump into a 3D world where you like battle and dodge the programs and connections between web pages which are corporeal.

Hackers!

Hollywood hacker bullshit. Not once have I ever come across an animated singing virus.

Ytmnd is the closest I ever got

Are you sure you're hacking hard enough?

Lifting the scanner to type always gets me.

[-] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago
[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago

I feel like they didn’t hack so much as insert a virus through an already connected piece of hardware.

[-] JulesTheModest@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

With a compatible floppy disk too if I recall.

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 4 months ago

There's a deleted scene that explains we got computer technology from the crashed ship.

So that's why the aliens run on Mac OS 7 of course

[-] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

The real challenge is finding a decent hacking scene.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The show "Leverage" has some great ones. Mostly showing the hacker getting pissed that everyone else doesn't understand his part of the job.

Also the hacking in the movie "Sneakers" is surprisingly accurate for a heist comedy.

Has somebody just watched Linus Tech Tips 😁? They've recently done two videos where they pull apart scenes likes this.

Has anyone watched Hackers? 😆

[-] zaph@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 months ago

Hackers is a timeless classic that got hacking 100% correct.

Not the worst, but funny:
