Tracker puts “whatever I want to do” in curly braces.
Not even that most of the time. I can think of maybe 2 movies that show actual computer stuff while everytjkng else shows entirely made up bullshit from the way a terminal looks, to visualizing a mainframe as a video game that doesn’t even look like a real video game (Masterminds is so goofy).
Live free or die hard 👌
10 PRINT "HAKZ0RZ G0 BRRRR… "; : PRINT
INT(RND(1)*999999999);" // TERMINAL SKILL +10 FBI HACKED EPSTEIN DECRYPTED"
20 GOTO 10
On Windows running
treefromC:\is a good one.Well, having a well maintained and up to date system is a cornerstone of any good hacking practice!
just go to the C-root and type “tree”
or to / for civilized people
I watched Jurassic Park again the other day.
“It’s a Unix system, I know this!”
Nedry had a very custom window manager.
Fun fact: That weird 3d navigation thing was a real program that existed. It’s called fsn. Here’s some information about it. https://blog.adafruit.com/2024/02/06/fsn-the-irix-3d-file-system-tool-from-jurassic-park-arttuesday-vintagecomputing-jurassicpark-whoopsie/
That’s awesome, I never knew that! And someone made a similar tool for Linux as well
There’s a guy in one of the main irc chans I hang out in, who even after being there for a decade, still does not get it, still thinks we’re “hackers” … just because we run e.g.
eix-sync -q ; emerge -DuvaNqtg worlddoes not mean we’re “hackers”.*random hackages
I rewatched Stranger Things season 4, which takes place in 1986, and there’s a scene where code flashes on the screen while they’re “hacking”. It shows:
- Turbo C++ - not invented until 1990
- HTML - 1993
- HTTPS - 1994 (it’s called htsps on the screen)
- PHP - 1995
- CSS - 1996
- Iframe - 1997
- C# - 2000
- .NET Framework - 2002
- CoffeeScript - 2009
- Flexbox - 2009
The Stranger Things universe has time travel confirmed.
Mr. Robot really spoiled me. How does that shit fly under the radar for such a high production show?
He didn’t use arch, btw.
Been a while since I watched it. Did they actually take the time to do it right in that show?
Yeah. It was very realistic. Sometimes they simplified explanations a bit. They had real hackers as consultants, and Sam Esmail, the creator of the show, was into hacking and computers as a teen.
Cool! TIL
Literally unwatchable
Hey, at least they used something based in reality opposed to the traditional falling Matrix text… Actually, on second thought, that might be a little bit cooler.
At least if your goanna mombo and jumbo and make stuff up.
Do it with some flare
Amateur… They should have just typed
TREEand hit enter like the professionalsbtop
All the hacking flash u need. A hacker needs to know the exact temperature of each CPU core at once at all times. In spaced out colors, for clarity.
Should type in
call -151
(Apple 2 assembly entrance)
Yeahhh. Apple IIe, just turn it off, stick a disk in and turn it back on!
Mr. Robot: Hold my editor
I seem to remember reading that what Trinity did in the opening scenes of The Matrix before the police busted in was actually doing a real exploit. So it got done properly at least once!
