So, when I got a bunch of free serial WYSE terminals ages ago, I propped them up on the shelf, daisy-chained them, wrote a wrapper to be able to address all four screens through one UART, and had them display (and regularly update) system stats. Just because.
I was watching a show recently where someone was writing code, and it was actually C++ code. I actually did the exact pose in the meme.
Of course, he was writing it inhumanly fast, and he always seemed to be writing the start of a new file. But I liked that it was actually code and not just The Matrix-style jibberish
When I made a short film about an AI I was writing C# into visual studio as my coding. It was actual video game code that was for something like AI pathfinding or something, so I tried to make it somewhat accurate.
Not sure why movies can’t spend a grand on a programing consultant to actually write them some hacking-ish code for the scenes.
I thought I heard somewhere that these screenwriters as like an inside joke try to top each other on how ridiculously incorrect they can make their hacking scenes.
My guess is that they just don’t care to spend the time on it when the majority of people wouldn’t even notice. But of course those of us that would notice would really appreciate it.
As a guitar player, it equally irritates me when the person “playing” the guitar has clearly never touched a guitar in their life. Similarly, when an actor is actually playing it, I really appreciate it.
Off topic, but I once walked in while my wife was watching some anime where the guitars were all extremely accurate, like down to what tuning pegs they would have had for the era the guitars were from. They must have motion captured all of the guitar playing from when they recorded the music, or at least took video of their hands, because they animated it perfectly. Down to the tapping parts and everything. It was jaw dropping. I made her start the whole show over from episode one so I could watch it.
Funnily enough I have to hide terminal windows when updating while I’m around any of my less tech savy friends who think it’s scary or creepy. I really dislike them portraying this as “hacking”.
I recently started rewatching Gundam Wing, and one of the computer screens with fast scrolling text was just scrolling through the Readme of either old Adobe Software or old Printer software (I don’t remember which).
I’m not sure about Gundam but I was watching through Dragonball z and sometime during the Android saga, Bulmas computer starts running a program and it looked pretty accurate but I’m not really able to program.
Ncis episode Tim traced ThE mOsT dAnGeRoUs HaCkEr iN tHe WoRlD to an internal 192.168.something. I do not remember how it was resolved because I was laughing too hard.
(the whole two person keyboard thi g early in the series was an intentional gag, so it doesn’t count)

Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Rules:
Posts must be relevant to programming, programmers, or computer science.
No NSFW content.
Jokes must be in good taste. No hate speech, bigotry, etc.
Don’t forget the ridiculous amount of beeping and other sounds when characters fly over the screen at twice the speed of light!
He is building Firefox from source, don’t worry
The best ones show a port scan. The worst just show scrolling html source code.
The legendary ones show a “BREACH” at the target systems, in Red Bold Times New Roman font size 150.
Extra point if they have the PowerPoint shuttle controls visible in the bottom-left corner.
A serif font on a computer display?! Appalling! Sacrilegious!
The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be…unnatural.
Like being able to tell l from I.
Trinity used NMAP and scanned for real known SSH vulnerabilities when hacking the power station in Matrix Reloaded.
And then there’s Mr. Robot in its own tier, using actual real-world tools and frameworks, with realistic flags and everything!
There’s also stuff like this that Hollywood employs:

Dark mode.
Try being a medical biologist watching outbreak/pandemic films. It’s fucking painful to watch.
Why? Do people behave in an unrealistic manner? Like taking precautions, social distancing, wear masks, believing that its real?
I was more thinking about when researchers go looking for “the original strain” and stuff like that.
Do we have a “itsaunixsystem” community here?
Yes, but it looks like it’s been inactive for a while:
!itsaunixsystem@lemmy.federated.club
It’s almost always just htop and/or hackertyper and/or the fancy matrix effect
Or answer D: all of the above, in the form of hollywood
Running “top” is also some common thing.

If it’s even that. Most of the time it’s non-nonsensical gibberish.

What’s the name of the show, though?
The music anime was called Given. I highly recommend the first season, but they followed it up with a movie that I didn’t like at all.
The show Mr. Robot did that, they used real 0-day exploits for their hacking scenes!
They were actually hacking rival TV show producers in real-time. (This is a lie)
Sounds like hackertyper.net
That’s likely exactly what it was.

The only hacking that ever felt plausible to me was in Mr. Robot.
I still need to watch that.
It is a literal masterpiece, and not because of the hacking. I highly recommend watching it again after you finish for a totally new experience.
sudo apt-get install hackerman
You actually don’t need the -get anymore
It’s recommended for script usage
What if jumping off a bridge was recommended for script usage?
Easy,
export BRIDGE_BEHAVIOR=legacyand pretend nothing changed until everything one day breaks horribly in production.Don’t test me, I’ll do it.
What if --test-dir=/tmp --dry-run jumping off a bridge was recommended for script usage?
Are you daft?
Yes, very much so

The files are in the computer
ngl the net had some great hacking scenes tho
