If only the would depict IT a tad more realistically... never seen a more hilarious hacking than in this show.

Clearly you haven't watched NCIS

NCIS 2 IDIOTS 1 KEYBOARD

The whole scene is just excellent.

So many details that can either give you an aneurysm or make you belly laugh.

Apparently they purposely made their hacking scenes sillier to see how far they could go (I think they were in an informal contest with another show's writers). That scene is their masterpiece.

I love that character. I don't even know her name, but my mom watches NCIS on repeat, and sometimes I watch with her just for that character

She's such a mall punk

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

She's like 40 and dresses like that at work.

...and other reasons I love this character

Allegedly, NCIS and CIA had a sort of informal contest as to who could get away with the worst computer/technology scene. That's how this scene came about.

I love the part where they stop the hacking by pulling the monitor cable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nah they pulled the power cord not the monitor cable.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Power cord to a monitor. Not that it would matter if it was the PC power cable though since I kind of doubt they would have "the entire network" on one system

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Dude she was getting hacked.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I mean both cords look the same soooo, also as dumb as that scene is the whole point was the hackers were targeting her system not anything else so shutting off that one system was good enough

Watched Nerve last night. They said because the game is open source, then can just make changes, submit them,then use a botnet to vote the changes into effect to crash the game.... All within like 2 hours...

Oh absolutely. I work in information security, and I definitely have a good amount of "but that's not how it works!" when I watch it.

But hey, it's entertaining, and it's not like other shows get it much better.
