The best ones show a port scan. The worst just show scrolling html source code.
Trinity used NMAP and scanned for real known SSH vulnerabilities when hacking the power station in Matrix Reloaded.
Never forget the infamous NCIS co-op hacking on a keyboard scene.
I remember a scene of such a crime movie that was at least funny for people used to computers and progrmmers.
The (old and seasoned) detectives were brought in contact with the new “cyber unit” of the police. Stored away in an otherwise empty office floor somewhere, they were the absolute movie style hackers: cluttered desks, sloppy outfit, beards. The old detectives were quite reluctant to work with those young “computer people” and had a lot of prejudices. Then, one of the detectives found a big red button on the desk and said “I wonder what happens when I press this button” - and presses it. And the “cyber guys”: “DON’T!”. The detective mocks them, and presses the button several times before he asks what the button actually does. Cyber guy: “That is our ‘order pizza’ button! I hope you’ve got enough money to pay for this…”. Cut. Next scene: They are all eating pizza together from a desk-high stack of pizza boxes.
I was looking for a new project. pizza button would be neat.
Back in Ye Olden Days, we probably had the first web interface to order pizza. “We” had been a long-established computer nerd meeting, and this pizza service that normally was closed on Sundays actually opened just for us on that weekend just for the occasion. We had an internal web page to order and organize orders of pizza. But of course, the order did not go out electronically - when our web app saw the need to place the order, is simply sent a fax ;-)
I recently started rewatching Gundam Wing, and one of the computer screens with fast scrolling text was just scrolling through the Readme of either old Adobe Software or old Printer software (I don’t remember which).
As an actress, that’s nonsense, if hacking scenes in movies are fake, then how do you explain this documentary I watched where this hacker man hacked a kung fu fighting cop back in time to kill Hitler (and David Hasselhoff was there for some reason, too)?
The only hacking that ever felt plausible to me was in Mr. Robot.
I’m always so confused when I see a movie use scrolling C code in a terminal. Like where do they get it from?
From here:
If it’s even that. Most of the time it’s non-nonsensical gibberish.
I was watching a show recently where someone was writing code, and it was actually C++ code. I actually did the exact pose in the meme.
Of course, he was writing it inhumanly fast, and he always seemed to be writing the start of a new file. But I liked that it was actually code and not just The Matrix-style jibberish
Sounds like hackertyper.net
