CarbonatedPastaSauceI 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!

I rewatched Stranger Things season 4, which takes place in 1986, and there’s a scene where code flashes on the screen. 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
Literally unwatchable

tomiantHey, 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.
Mr. Robot really spoiled me. How does that shit fly under the radar for such a high production show?
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

TropicalDingdongI left a sorry if almost exactly this. Had to update a six person halo shooter arcade game. It runs on Linux. Took a bunch of trouble shooting to 1 get it to update over Internet, & 2 give up and just use a flash drive. But we had opened by then and a bunch of people gathered around whispering “to he’s hacking like in the movies!”. I was using a Bluetooth keyboard made to be used by two thumbs…
CyberEggI once watched some police procedural show (don’t remember which copaganda it was exactly) where they were trying to track someone’s location online. Couldn’t stop laughing when they showed an IPv4 address starting with 624.
He’s too good, I can’t trace his ip!
They should’ve traced his ipv6, while 624::/16 isn’t currently allocated, it is at least usable if we need it.
u/lukmly013 💾 (lemmy.sdf.org)Well, well, well.
If we go outside of dottted decimal notation of IPv4, we can have addresses starting with 624. They can also be in decimal, octal, and hexadecimal.
Oh, and IPv4 also supports shortening from middle right in dotted decimal. For example, 127.0.0.1 is too long, often you may be able to use 127.1.
Or you can go to Cloudflare’s https://1.1/
While you can convert (or rather represent) an ipv4 as decimal, op indirectly stated that they were in dotted decimal notation and as such the leading 624 doesn’t work in that context.
Also shortening ipv4 is cursed, why must you share this knowledge?
Also also, curious to note that glibc parses 1 as ipv4 0.0.0.1 and not ipv6 ::1, probably because they predate ipv6.
Mind you, that’s for the same reason all American phone numbers in shows have a 555 prefix – showing a real address could lead to liability if e.g. someone tries to launch an attack on that address they saw on TV.
Unlike phone numbering schemes, the IPv4 address space has no well-known area reserved for fictitious addresses. Sure, you could use something like 192.0.2.0/24, 198.51.100.0/24, or 203.0.113.0/24 (test networks for use in documentation), but those aren’t well-known outside of certain circles.
So they just go with completely invalid addresses because that’s easy.
Yeah most hacking scenes are ridiculous. Shows like mr.robot are more realistic.
The problem is that now they are outdated as fuck
I can relate whenever there are scenes in movies where characters are supposed to make art. Either the actor movies the pen or brush in a way that betrays that they have zero understanding of what they’re doing or the art itself is hilariously mediocre despite being supposedly magnificent and beautiful according to other characters in the movie.

glorkonI watched Jurassic Park again the other day.
“It’s a Unix system, I know this!”
Nedry had a very custom window manager.
JackbyDevFun fact: That weird 3d navigation thing was a real program that existed. It’s called fsn. Here’s some information about it. blog.adafruit.com/…/fsn-the-irix-3d-file-system-t…
FSN – the IRIX 3D file system tool from Jurassic Park #ArtTuesday #VintageComputing #JurassicPark @whoopsie
Everybody remembers the original Jurassic Park movie where Lexi graphically navigates a Unix system to get systems back online. That software, for the Silicon Graphics IRIX OS, is called ‘fsn…
That’s awesome, I never knew that! And someone made a similar tool for Linux as well

🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 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).
