Hackers (1995)

[slaveofconvention]

I'm sitting watching this movie.....

It's funny lol - the super-wonderful laptop owned by Angelina Jolie causes the comment by the Phreak "Yo! Check this out guys, it's insanely great, it's got a 28.8bps modem!"

Remember those days guys? :p

Saying that, I DO remember upgrading from a measly 33.6 to a V.90 56 lol

I love that movie. So bad it's funny. "Hack the Gibson!"

Did you know there was a sequel? lol - Operation Takedown in 1999... That slipped quietly under the radar (and into the mire)

But I must comment that they are not related. I am not sure where the "sequal" got the Hackers 2 added to it, but the official title is "Take Down". It is about Kevin Mitnick's adventure while alluding capture. Its not really totally true to fact, but it makes for a great movie. Hackers was a fun movie to watch but very loose on the reality of computers. Still both great fun to watch and recommended!:up:

Hackers was crazy-bad. not bad like "turn it off", bad like "holy crap i can't stop watching it"

Awesome movie, but....sooo unrealistic in terms of the hacking they show. I gotta say though, if somebody made a network browsing tool like that mainframe, I would totally buy it. There's just something to be said for flying through towers of computers and watching the packets flow by lol :P

On a related note, this weekend at Defcon there's a group doing a presentation (http://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-17/dc-17-speakers.html#Louthan) on something that they made to actually look/work like the hacking you see in movies. I think I'm gonna try and make it over to that talk, but no promises :P

i like the fact there going on about a AMD K4, way better than the Intel Pentium 133,

Also they laptop they were using, the big beige one they painted cammo, i had one of them, didn't even have windows on it, well thats a lie, it had Microsoft Windows WYSIWYG

[slaveofconvention]

K4? I heard something about a P6 - triple the speed of the pentium.... lol
