Hacker Breaks Down 26 Hacking Scenes From Movies & TV | WIRED

I need to rest easy, well, hi, I'm Sammy Kamkar Sammy is a privacy researcher and computer

hacker

, today we are going to talk about the representation of

hacking

in film and television. Swordfish

hacking

montage. In this clip we see a fairly recurring theme in many

movies

that depict piracy and that is a 3D visual interface, not my problem, that really has nothing to do with piracy what is happening in this place or it really is not an interface efficient to use. The most accurate interface would be a console or terminal, yes, and that's simply because it's the most efficient way to get a lot of data.

You can look at a lot of code. You can look at a large amount of text or a database and extract the information you want very quickly. Thanks Italian Job. By hacking the traffic lights they use video feeds of the intersections and specifically design algorithms to predict traffic conditions and therefore control the traffic lights, so all I did was come up with my own amazing algorithm to hack and now we own it from the place, we see red light, green light. Many of these traffic light systems are actually controlled through systems called SCADA systems, which are industrial controllers that allow things like traffic lights to work well.

Just an accident in Los Angeles. Several streetlights were hacked several years ago. Wow, and a lot of these traffic systems. The lights are actually controlled over the internet and often don't even have a password to connect to them, so it's totally realistic. It's good. Chuck hacks the Federal Reserve. In this clip we see a common theme and they are pretty interfaces that really have nothing to do with each other. hacking thanks for the help there is too much information going up and down and it is too fast for you to get any useful information. Sorry, we're still talking to you and we almost never see pop-ups when you're doing some kind of programming. or hack like this Laurie in the middle of the clip, they also talk about optimizing their compilation, you know what you really want to pick up there at the bottom of your page, the compiler can optimize a value like that, what they're talking about is actually optimizing something inside the code and normally you're compiling when you're writing some source code and then you're compiling it into a program or binary that you can then run, it has no relation to what they're doing, so they took a little bit of programming jargon and throw it in the middle it was removed in Skyfall mi6 is hacked who is using a polymorphic engine you take the code I never tried to access it changes it's like solving a Rubik's cube you're fighting the 3D graphics here are similar to what you see in swordfish, they are not really representative of anything you would actually see, unlike swordfish, there are more realistic aspects to this clip, for example they are talking about polymorphic code, it is using a morphic pony engine, do you take the codes?

Polymorphic code is a program that essentially changes itself to try to hide itself. Consider that our filters will no longer work and may continue to spread. They talk a little about that in this clip. I never tried to access it. Change. They show hexadecimal code. which could be from the virus, it's just another way of representing binary data or binary information and that's pretty accurate; However, for plot purposes, they add the grand boro boro, which is not a real hexadecimal code since all hexadecimal characters are zero through nine. or A to F, but they show that for the purpose of the University plot, if

hacker

s compete with another hacker, amazing, a hacker, this clip begins with a sequence that we would call social engineering.

I don't play well with others, which is communicating with someone who pretends. being someone else and trying to extract information to help you break into a target machine or computer, yes that's okay, apart from the unrealistic images this is actually a pretty common thing, yes, when you can hack into a machine and find out that someone else has already hacked it. At this point you do some sort of fun revenge, your goal is actually to patch the machine to prevent other hackers from getting in and you're actually helping the target, the sensitive guy, but often you'll leave the backdoor so he can get back in. what a backdoor is a piece of software that you can run on a machine that grants you access in the future without authorized users knowing that you are inside the machine, you are the one that has been invading my territory, yes, games war.

The 80s hack is cool, yeah, I don't think he deserved it, right? This is actually an accurate representation of hacking in the 80's, back then it was called damn damn with a pH, as in phone hacking, yeah in this case he is. actually dialing to a computer network over a telephone line dying in schools, except when you were dialing to dial, you were dialing to an ISP or Internet Service Provider here, you're actually dialing directly to the computer that controls grades , they changed the password every couple of weeks, but I know where they write it down and that's exactly how the bulletin board systems or BBS worked back then and several other systems as well.

By accessing a Tron Legacy server, we will make our debut on the Tokyo Nikkei index. OS 12 is the most secure operating system ever released. Many

movies

will describe hacking as breaking into a machine and installing some malicious software. OS 12 has some bugs, however I don't really consider that piracy, I'm just playing around, in this case it's breaking in. a place that physically accesses a computer that doesn't ask for a password that has no encryption or no other authorization so it just acts like a computer and loads a virus and hacks into a hospital. Robotic hospitals, a heavily networked one like this one, are almost too easy to hack.

I can make my medical records look like every other obedient zombie out there, mr. The robot constantly demonstrates real hacking and quite reasonable scenarios. Thanks, in this case, you are hacking into a hospital because they have quite a lack of security. This is William Highsmith, he is the IT department, he is also an idiot and his technology is extremely old. It is useless security software that runs. Windows 98, which is pretty accurate when you're talking about most hospitals and is supposed to protect your network from people like me, plus the interfaces in this clip are really realistic, you don't have to worry recently, we've heard about real hospitals getting hacked with malware and ransomware installed and even some parts were shut down simply due to lack of security and old systems, they never stood a chance NCIS stopped a hack no way I'll get hats or port keys, it's moving too fast our connection to the intrastate base separate is too much i have never seen a cold like this stop the pop ups this is no good defending against an untraceable hacker whoever is behind the site is local and wants attention turn it off we are holy blacks nice ocular but every time turn one off a new mirror appears the site's IP constantly changes with each new address it is an exploited server this clip is extremely accurate Nice touch a hacker has a domain name Union the u.s. it keeps removing IP addresses from the domain name and the IP address is essentially the physical address of that domain;

However, the hacker has so many other IPS or machines on the Internet hacked that he can replace them very quickly. How wonderful they now claim that the name server and registrar are hosted at the Russian domain registry and that all the name servers are in Russian so they have no jurisdiction over any jurisdiction there, the registrar is where you get your names domain, such as

wired

.com and The name server points to the domain name as

wired

com2 the IP address there is a connection there in this case the only thing they got wrong is that the US has jurisdiction over dot coms, so that the US could eliminate any dot com. domain name what patriotic CSI cyber clickbait ads are redirecting site users to what could be a fictitious pharmacy looks like a normal ad and this is the ad code but actually there are two codes written on top of each other, click click on the begging screen, on the right part of this clip is someone able to hack into a web server and modify the code so that users visiting that site are affected.

The fake ad masks the legitimate application. It is a real thing, what happens is quite common actually, however the combination of the codes placed on top of each other are not really exact, it could be a coincidence if you are looking at the source code, you are seeing practically everything in secret, for which is not so realistic in this case, yes, the network disassembles a virus, don't worry, everything is under control, everything will be fine, you will come across the same issue where the interfaces themselves are not very precise, yes, without However, everything that's actually happening here is pretty accurate.

I appreciate it, essentially, she's taking a virus and disassembling it, wiping your own system, what does that mean? Are you taking the actual binary executable and converting it to machine code, which is the type of code your computer or CPU actually executes? Then she's converting it into a format that you can read to see what's really working. Why don't you just tell him? Tell me what it is so she can help whoever was hacked, let them know what happened and how to solve the problem. Thanks, this is something there are actually dedicated teams and companies for today.

What you're joking about, right, breaching the firewall castle. someone synced a rat to one of my servers, remote access to one would be hacked trying to trace our IP address. Oh can you stop it? No, but I can't slow it down. One thing we see in a lot of clips is people trying to slow down the hackers or slow something down, but there's actually nothing to slow it down, it's happening or not, we have to stop it, however there are some easy macros here, they use a tax exception or no rats and there are real tools called rats that allow you to access machines that you otherwise shouldn't necessarily have access to the interface is pretty inaccurate but it also seems like TB likes to think that hackers send a lot of photos of animals, as we have seen with the legacy of the low-end intron dog as We see here with many The Matrix Reloaded cats hacking an electrical grid.

In this we see some realism. We see a real UNIX terminal and someone is actually using a dummy tool called ssh nuke and what it pretty much does is give them information. access to the mains, puts them in a root shell on a UNIX machine, which is actually quite realistic, thanks, and then they use another SSH tool to log into another machine as root, which is the administrative privilege that gives you access practically complete. whatever you want, yes you can do that, it's not realistic, you have the nuclear SSH tool, which is not a real tool, also most power networks are not on the internet, but there is a good omen here as more and more they connect, as it simply makes them easier to maintain there is nothing to prevent hacking a cell phone Iron Man 2 and local intelligence on the ground indicating everything about my second son.

I need it if you direct your attention to screens. I think South Korea in this clip. We see Tony Stark using his mobile device to hack multiple TV screens and monitors and it's actually somewhat realistic, you're welcome since you could easily hack into, say, a Chromecast or Apple TV, and most Smart TVs are now connected to the Internet, so it's working, there's a huge attack surface, a lot of ways to get into these TVs and stream something you shouldn't otherwise. Weird science steals processing power. The problem is that your computers are weak and we need a lot more power than this.

That's why you see James. We have another clip with a graphical interface that is not very precise. I know, but you know we can use it and some fun 3D images, however, the act of entering a computer, especially one with more computing power and resources than yours. Trying to figure something out or figure something out is pretty accurate nowadays, the clips we saw in the war games and weird science take place in the same time period, however what we saw in the war games was much more accurate than what is shown here, we also get another classic access denied. ' screen yes, yes, live free or die running a virus in this clip, they don't actually show any hacking, they do show running a virus;

However, to run a virus or upload a virus, you must already have access to the target system, thank you. Basically, for that you will need to have found a vulnerability where you can execute the virus and only then you will be able to execute that virus. Snowden's surveillance thinks of it like a Google search, except instead of just searching what people make public, we're also searching. in everything they don't do, wellthan emails, chats, SMS, whatever, yes, but what people in all realms, no way, this is very serious, there is actually a program called xkeyscore that the NSA uses to run scores under Authority 702, which means there are no guarantees that we will actually find out.

Snowden after he leaked a bunch of documents to the press and his director, our government and other governments have the ability to do this kind of thing, encrypting the social media hackathon and then intercepting all work traffic securely, Of course, they are happy, yes, everyone. Behind a photo of you later here is the beauty, if we can find a written code, this is interesting because it is actually rumored that Facebook would have these programming hackathons to drink, yes, although I don't expect so many people or so much partying. atmosphere the type of system he's talking about is pretty accurate, this kind of thing is typical at Def Con, an annual hacking conference in People in Las Vegas are hacking into each other's systems to defend themselves from other hackers and, again, many alien drinking transformers hack in this clip, they are trying to listen to half the team, however you won't actually be able to do that for this guy.

No way or by hacking many computers you will hear sound, however if you are trying to listen to certain types of radio frequencies and recognize what type of sound or modulation could be the direct match with the signal in Qatar, there was actually a hack recently in Dallas where someone used radio frequency to activate all the emergency sirens in Dallas breaking encryption under siege to see here access to a gigabyte of RAM encrypted to do the trick in this clip is trying to break some encryption by adding a gigabyte of RAM you could buy two Ram to do this, but adding that gigabyte of RAM isn't really relevant to breaking the encryption here.

Oh, you may need some significant memory or storage space, but it's not something you'll do in the middle of your operation, so no. that realist, yeah, black hat NSA hack, you asked him to change his password, he downloaded the PDF, what he downloaded was the key logger, which was a pretty long password for someone who really can't tell the difference between a PDF file and an executable, which you downloaded. The key was long because he actually downloaded something that looked like a document, but since it was actually a key logger, that means it was a program that ran and ran an application that actually had to steal the code.

Keyloggers are a fairly common way to access an individual's information, so if you want to log their keystrokes, see what their type is, being honest, learn the passwords, the websites they visit, the names username and other private information, the keylogger is the typical way someone will install it on your machine and learn that information about you. in Jakarta Avengers 2 age of Ultron Ultron hacks Jarvis, your intentions are hostile at the pace of progress with machine learning and artificial intelligence, something like this where two different systems could start learning from each other, communicate with each other and attack each other Yeah.

This is furious, 3D orbs displayed in real space are crazy not accurate. In the future, machines will be able to think and will have access to physical components that they can actually move. I'm a programmer, so we might see something like this, though. the real orbs of electricity your balls of electricity that are quite set in science fiction we are in my field for Criminal Minds hackers to compete first we need you to look up the name Colby Baylor this could be the coolest girl I have ever met met , but its GUI is mind-blowing, that's strange, this is also similar to the hackers where two hackers were competing to take over the controlling machine.

However, it was a little more accurate in the case of hackers since they were essentially competing on the same target system trying to prevent the other person from accessing it. In this, you see they are competing on one system, but then the system someone else really gets hacked, what the heck? So in this case, there are multiple systems being hacked and it's a little less realistic, this is not good. we mentioned Linux operating systems, open source programming completely based on Linux and you don't see this in government systems, I mean outside of Switzerland, which is actually used in many government series, there is a lot of open source software which is used all over the world. including our government, right, I get it, the GUI comment is not too accurate.

Its GUI is mind blowing, usually when you are accessing something you won't actually come across any GUI, its GUI is strange and even if you do. They're usually not that exciting, I'm going to bounce around, I'm just going to call in through nine different relay stations around the world and from two satellites Director of Operations at the National Security Agency, please, it's my dime . I'll ask the questions that started the tracking. This is a cool demo. of going crazy where they're actually jumping not just to another machine over the phone, who are you and did you do the second leg, but they're actually streaming from one phone to another and you guarantee my security is no longer as popular as most of machines on the Internet. connected instead of dial-up or phone connected we make the call but we do it our way hacking algorithms via email or the weakest link in any security system is you with your shitty passwords and how you share every part of your life online and now I own Sam Novak's computer in this clip, they don't show much of the actual hacking, but he mentions that he is exploiting the kernel.

I'm just exploiting the vulnerability in which the kernel access was created. This is quite difficult to do, however, there has been a recent vulnerability in antivirus software there is always a way that if you receive an email with this very specific exploit, it could actually exploit the antivirus software running on your kernel, which is essentially your operating system, and give the attacker full control of your computer. works for me, I think that's what they're implying here, although they're not actually showing the actual exploit, the difference makes that, for me the bottom line is that Hollywood has the challenge of depicting piracy, which can actually be quite a challenge because it is not so visual.

It's exhilarating, however, it's always exciting when I see a clip that is actually realistic.
