I tend to dislike most movies that have anything to do with hacking or programming, because for whatever reason they NEVER hire someone who actually know what they're talking about to help with the scripting.
Like for instance, the new Tron...
At first, when the kid sits down at the computer in the arcade, he types in "whoami", and when I saw that I was like "ZOMG FINALLY! Finally a movie where they will type stuff that actually exists and makes sense...".
Then he tries to log in as root... doesn't work. Great, still off to a good start.
Then he tries to log in as backdoor.... lolwut? Why the fudge would anyone make a user named 'backdoor'? Things are getting weird...
Then he's logged in. Wait... you mean to tell me there was actually a user named backdoor? And it had no password? LOL!
I mean, I guess that could be true... but it's like they were trying to say he used some sort of backdoor to hack into the system.
And that's actually a pretty bad example, cuz they actually used real commands and stuff. A lot of times I see movies where they're trying to rob a bank or something and there's always that one guy that's got a laptop and he's like "Ok I'm hacking into the mainframe... OH crap, THERE ARE 5 LEVELS OF SECURITY! Ok ok, no problem... I can bypass them... crap! I'm stuck on the 5th layer, there is a password! Let me see if I can crack it......... GOT IT! I'm in!", and then all of a sudden he's got access to all of their files, and their security cameras, and control the temperature of people's pools and stuff xD
Ok enough ranting xD
