Except politics of course. We all know everyone else is wrong.

    Hacking, and counter hacking.

    One of the best representations was in Mr Robot, but all the rest usually looks like the movie Hackers.

    I get it though, it isn’t really flashy enough when it is realistic.

        It’s a good movie, but I find myself completely confused by the driving part at the end. The people who were in the van manage to catch up to him almost immediately, suggesting that the other guy could have just run across the distance to get to the van in the first place, saving everyone all the drama and hilarity.

        I thought Wargames was a pretty good one too (mostly). It’s by the same writers.

        The NET is…fun…

        That’s a nice piece of hardware you’ve got there.

      What’s funny is there’s definitely ways to make it more realistic while also being flashy/interesting. The stories told on the podcast Darknet Diaries are plenty interesting! It’s often fantastical feats of social engineering.

      Oh God, that reminds me of that ncis scene when they’re getting hacked, so two people start using the same keyboard to be quicker to defend against the hackers.

      And then in the end someone just unplugs… something? The might even just be the screen, who knows, and that fixes everything
