Mr. Robot was the best depiction of hacking I can think of. It was fairly realistic while being entertaining too. It shows that anybody who actually wanted to be realistic in a hacking movie could do it, they just choose not to.
One of the reasons I love WarGames is that it shows the hacker character actually doing his homework to figure out the correct credentials to get into the system.
Yeah, the “magic device” they discover that makes encryption obsolete is unrealistic, as is the way it “decrypts” what shows up on their screens. But, the rest of it is really realistic, down to probing individual leads of a chip to see what kinds of signals they emit.
As one of the very likely commenters that falls into this i’m sorry, but fuck the reddit administration, i left them nothing. Hopefully you might find an archived version of the answer.
I’m the guy who designs those. They pay me the big bucks to make sure a hacker feels at home when violating our Gibson, after all. We’re one big family here.
There is a debate to be had about how far this is morally acceptable. If you‘re trying to promote your nonprofit and ask friends to ask their friends to look at it I‘d say thats fine.
But asking bluntly for fake reviews is not ok imo. I‘d report this person immediately. I‘d rather make a nice post on every social media platform that fits my topic and plainly ask folks for feedback. This just seems lazy and uninspired.
Generally, yes. I’m not gonna infringe on someone else’s actions as long as they dont endanger someone (themselves or other) because its not up to me (or anyone else) to be helicopter parents and “correct” everyone else.
As I said, I would report this person immediately.
imo it’s fine if its something like sub for sub on youtube, or follow for follow on twitch, where you’re manipulating an algorithm, but with reviews it’s misleading people and not okay.
Developer1: @developer2: could you take a look, I know u know stuff about this.
Developer2: can’t reproduce. Might be able to if I get the app logs in trace level, the blood of 3 dragons and a signed autograph of Michael Jordan’s third hello world program.
User1: here are some other unrelated logs at info level only and nothing else.
