"That's a pretty long password for someone who doesn't know the difference between a pdf and an executable" throwing some SHADE

I love that you can almost hear him trying not to roll his eyes at some of the worst clips.

Guy: says one sentence Editor: so anyways here's a clip of the movie

Somebody must've hacked into this video, he keeps freezing and the hacker keeps bringing up movie lines.

hacker in movie: _turn on computer_ sammy: this is actually pretty realistic, because you do need to turn on your computer in order to hack other computer

Whoever's idea it was to keep interrupting the genius with the movie lines in between should get fired.

Gotta respect his demeanor. He didn't fall down laughing or called something ridiculous on its face even when it was incredibly absurd 😂

Mr. Robot is so much more realistic than any other clip shown it's not even a comparison. As a programmer, that show was an absolute treat to watch. Literally every single time they showed a computer screen it was showing real, existing tools.

Its probably so cringy for him to watch these hacking scenes

The guy : says something The 12 year old editor: we can't have that

Hackers in Movies be like Pressing Random keys for five seconds and then "Hey,I have access to the government databases"

You should ask an astronomer to break down space movies.

Lol he's not a hacker. 1. He's not wearing a hoodie 2. He's not wearing a hacker mask

*Mr. Robot* shows the most realistic, accurate and the best hacking ever shown in all of movies, series or whatever.

I want this dude to explain everything! His thoughts are just so well organised, not a wasted word lol.

I just love how he starts watching every hacking scene with a smile and then it slowly fades away

This guy is what you call a white hat hacker. He tests security systems for people and companies and he helps adjust their flaws. Note: this comment was for the idiots I saw in this comment section who thought they brought a criminal on to youtube

Mr. Robot has the most realistic depiction of hacking. *_Period_* And it's an amazing show you can watch even if you're not a tech-savvy type of a person.

"I need some help! I can't keep up with the hacker!" "I have an idea." **Plugs in a second mouse**

The worst part of that NCIS clip is two people sharing one keyboard simultaneously typing on half the keyboard each.

Mr. Robot being the most accurate clip as it should be

He tried his best for not insulting those scenes by not saying complete truth about them😂😂😂😂😂

NCIS clip be like: "I'm getting hacked" *guy steps in because girl wasn't pressing random button fast enough.

My dad is a IT and he goes nuts over "hacking" scenes. I love it.

“Gigabyte of ram should do the trick” I’m deceased.

"Hackers" is still my favourite movie. I never liked the visuals (I was a script kiddie) when I was younger, but found out years later when it was finally released on DVD, that the visuals were meant to show how a hacker can easily visualise everything. In particular, the final hack scene with the building style representing file servers, is basically they can just walk through like a library and find/take what they want easily. I think it was a nice touch on the BS required for hollywood, but true to the nature.

His face is like the face parents make when they see their kids trying to walk for the first time. It's a cute attempt.

This video is perfect. The guy does not try to be funny or something. He is just himself and calmly explaining. I love this content

I like that he wasn't too harsh or arrogant about the unrealistic clips

When i hear "A gigabyte of ram should to the trick" i feel like ive experienced the 5 stages of grief 7 times.

6:25 has got to be one of my favorite parts. And the whole MR. ROBOT thing for that matter. "He's the head of IT. And he's also an idiot." "The hospitals run their systems on Windows 98" then expert says, "Which is actually pretty accurate." That is both funny and terrifying at the same time.

00:37 'A more accurate interface would be a console or terminal' *shows html code*

as a programmer myself, it's been a hard time to see movies with hacking scenes without cringing

"A most efficient way it would be a terminal" - Editor shows some HTML

The editor is doing a great disservice to what this guy is talking about.

Wired, you're showing a text editor when he's talking about a terminal

11:08 "a fictitious tool" correction: the movie actually used a very real SSH vulnerability (CVE-2001-0144) and sshnuke is just a name they chose for their exploit implementation

This guy looks so happy and excited when the movie clips come in....it seems that he too enjoys it very much

When he laughs you know it’s not even close to a realistic scenario 🤦‍♂️

"I don't know what to say to this. It's too much. Stop the pop-ups." HAHAHAH

Anyone who needs to create a hacking scene, should be talking to this guy. He comes across as very knowledgeable on the subject, naturally Intelligent, yet not arrogant but nice and sincere . Thumbs up.,

Hackers is one of my all-time favorite movies. However, when combined with the fact that I wasn't feeling well at the time, the simultaneous and overlapping of accuracy and inaccuracy once gave me a nosebleed. Seriously. The accurate hacking is represented by some of the wildest and most potentially misleading visuals I have ever seen. Spending a couple hours rummaging through databases for a file is shown by flying through a virtual city. Sure, the cool factor is off the charts, and it well represents the thrill, but it just perpetuates the "computers are magic" attitude Hollywood is only now just kinda sorta getting over. And that goes for most of the scenes of actual hacking.

love his smile when the hacking is inaccurate x)

hackers in movies: **smack their keyboard for 0.2 seconds** the hacker; *im in*

"What is that a video game?" "No we're getting HACKED" was one of the funniest lines in this

I love Mr. Robot for its realism in EVERYTHING.

I just love when he smiles as a scene passes by. It's like "what were they thinking?"

The editing is giving me anxiety like Jesus stop interrupting the person that is being interviewed🚫😂

Hollywood has to learn that with the correct atmosphere even realist hacking is cool. In Mr. Robot you could feel the tension building up while Elliot was writing lines of code and loading programs before getting caught

I love how they didn't even bother changing the text in the html code. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet adipiscing elit 😂

He seemed so interested in Mr. Robot and then . . . . you showed NCIS to him. That's rude, man. 6:04

You don’t have to put a clip relating to what he says after every sentence

I can tell that he's trying so hard not to laugh at most of the scenes.

One tool worth mentioning that was used in The Matrix was the use of Nmap, which is a tool designed to sniff ports and fingerprint the OS it detects, obviously for the purpose for the movie they masked it under a different name. The CLI elements of what they showed is very Nmap-like, since it's a tool that can function as both GUI and CLI. I will say however that OS Fingerprinting with Nmap is very poor and is often very inaccurate, since it's unable to properly identify the OS and the version a system is currently running. Scanning against a Linux machine will often yield results like you're running Linux with 2.6.3 kernel as some generic Linux OS like an embedded system like RedHat or some other, when in reality you are really running Linux with 5.6.7 kernel or greater with lets say Ubuntu or Arch Linux.

"...would be a terminal" *shows HTML in a text editor*

Oh yeah, my favorite programming language: 3D forms

I was hoping he was gonna do more Mr. Robot stuff. Always wondered why they didn't just unplug the routers as soon as AllSafe realized they were getting DDOS'd. Talking about episode 1.

the evaluation on tony starks “phone hacking” holds a special place in my heart sincerely, someone who reveled in the moments where we would meme the teacher who couldn’t figure out how the projector worked in class before 2016

this series is really cool but for the love of god sTOP INTERRUPTING THE PERSON BEING INTERVIEWED WITH THOSE STUPID CLIPS EVERY FIVE SECONDS THEY ADD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING 90% OF THE TIME

The idea that in real life, many traffic lights are controlled over the internet and some with no real password requirements is absurdly unsettling.

i love the way he describing thing, commenting real act rather than make fun of the clips. true legend

My favorite Hack in a movie was when Jeff Goldblum's character in "Independence Day" quickly wrote a virus to infect the system on the Space Alien Mothership. Maybe there was a deleted scene where he examined the crashed-at-Roswell scout ship and found all the information that he needed.

This guy is extremely knowledgeable and Wired should really stop with the 'funny' little edits during his explanations

"A more accurate interface would be a console or terminal" *WIRED shows HTML document*

The one thing I feel I should mention about the content, is that a lot of the terminology and technology were quite different in the 80s and early 90s than they are today. There are also a few cases here where you can give them the benefit of the doubt or not, depending on how you interpret what they are saying. For example, the history of PC Anywhere and interacting with remote GUIs.

im so happy he did mr. robot. rami malek and christian slater are two people everyone has seen at least once, but no one really pays attention to. theyre both amazing actors and the show is amazing.

I really wish they hadn't kept interrupting him with this little 2 second clips that had absolutely nothing to do with what he was saying every 30 seconds, that drove me crazy

Mr Robot is probably the best show I have ever watched.

12:53 The graphics are too intense!

His glee in watching the NCIS clip: priceless.

That was a pretty long password for someone who can't tell the difference between a pdf and executable file 😂😂😂😂😂

Alright here is 10kg of cocaine. Now edit this video.

Looks like so much effort to think of a simplified alternative visual to show hacking, either animating it or programming it.

That NCIS clip cracks me up. "What's that? a videogame?" lmfao

Samy: "So in this-" Editor: *FUNNY CLIP HERE* Samy: "clip" Editor: *FUNNY CLIP HERE* Samy: "the hacker is-" Editor: *FUNNY CLIP HERE*

When I am looking through my friend's computer without him knowing Me: *I'm in*

You missed the best part about the NCIS scene... Gibbs unplugging the whole computer and everything magically fixing itself!

I love how they say "hacker", not "former" hacker.

Every Movie Hacker: You do realize its impossible to get into that system right?? Few minutes later "I'M IN" 😂💀

I really enjoy these Technique Critique videos, the professionals are incredibly impressing, but I agree that WIRED should probably chill with editing. I understand they're aiming for it to be more entertaining, but it's ultimately disruptive. Keep the playbacks relevant, please.

The one with the downloaded pdf file may be actually be very accurate. There are many already known vulnerabilities of software that reads pdfs that could get you remote access to a machine.

✨✨✨He is so calm , composed and cool . His personality really suits his profession really well . And the best part about this video is that he explained each and everything so delicately and neatly 👍

samy kamkar discovered the flaws in visa cards, php and many more stuff. he is an internet legend

I like the fact the guy is fair and not unnecessarily dismissive of some of the scenarios.

I wish they showed the part in hackers where he calls the security guard, pretends to be a worker, and overwhelms him with garhon to him get (if I'm remembering correctly) their modem IP. Phishing is such a real security threat and they explained it really well.

Imagine being the one who understands every single bit of a hacking movie scene..

God the pain in his face when he said "Alien Hacking" was phenomenal.

The guy at 4:00 wears sunglasses while in front of a pc... so, totally legit hacker, move on.

"That's a pretty long password for someone who doesn't know the difference between a pdf and an executable." Ooooooooo snap!!!

"A more accurate interface would be a console or terminal..." *Shows html* Come on, Wired.

STOP INTERRUPTING THE PERSON SPEAKING WITH UN-FUNNY PAUSES WIRED!!!!

Thanks to this I discovered Mr. Robot one of the best series ever

It's actually really difficult sometimes to suspend disbelief when "hacking" is depicted so poorly in a movie... really spoils the experience.

The reason why they haven't shown an example of Hackerman, for anyone wondering, is because Hackerman is the real deal.

"That's a pretty long password for someone who can't tell the difference between a pdf and an executable." Love it. About spit out my coffee.

I'm surprised nothing was said about nmap being used in the Matrix Reloaded clip. It probably would have been used in the information gathering phase of the hack but it's still pretty accurate.

Everybody see him laughing, but he is actually CRYING!😭😭

The guy is really great at breaking down the scenes and explaining the real deal. The editor tho😑
