No, no, first you need to reroute, to be able to patch it through, and THEN you can override the command sequence in order to exploit parallelisms at the core root interface.

movie about hackers comes out and is extremely realistic
It's 16 hours long and mostly just of a dude sitting at a computer typing code
It bombs at the box office.
One of the funnier ones is that the matrix actually did hacking right. It was also so quick you don't notice it.
When Trinity hacks into the power station, it's legit. She checks the software version, which shows an out of date version. She then uses a known flaw in that version to reset the password.
It's the only bit of actual hacking in the movie. They obviously knew that geeks would be checking it frame by frame, so they actually did their homework on it.
Hackers shows "real hacking" in the form of social engineering, dumpster diving for passwords, as well as the bit about the pay phones that, once was true if maybe not by the time the movie came out.

And it was actually 0day when the production company made the scene...
Hacking is really a "montage" type activity, but is treated as something you can show in real time.
Like, imagine the A-Team building some weapon out of spare parts but you had to watch the entire build process including measuring, cutting, screwing up the cut, throwing away the part and trying again...
Or, imagine a martial arts film where the hero trains for the big fight... and you include the entire training regimen, showing them getting up at 6am each day to do sit-ups, then following the entire morning run...
Really a hacking sequence should have those zoomed-in calendars with days flipping by and getting crossed out.
If they really need the hack to be in the critical path of the action, it should only be something like:
Boss: We need to hack the satellite!
Hacker: What model is it?
Boss: It's a... let me see... KU-STRZ-4 out of Azerbaijan.
Hacker: A 4-series? We're in luck, NSA's been sitting on a exploit for that model.Otherwise it's as stupid as:
Boss: We need to defeat Scar Killer in the Kumite tomorrow.
Soldier: I did some basic unarmed combat in boot camp, but...
Boss: You have 24 hours, get training!
Next day, the soldier is massively jacked and is throwing flip kicks etc.I've love to watch a realistic hacker movie, because the shit that hackers get into is genuinely bonkers. For example, some white hats got all the way into Apple's inventory system and IIRC they could've disrupted all of Apple's logistics. Imagine if a black hat got into that. Or the Ukrainian hackers that got into the taxation system of the Russians and were there for a few months. Or the USAians who got into the biggest Belgian telecom and were kicked out years later by a Dutch security company.
Movies or even better TV series showing the time it takes to get into such systems would be amazing. Day 1 phishing, day 40 established beachhead, day 120 gained access to internal system X, day 121 triggered internal alarm and was nearly discovered but was able to cover up traces, etc.
Nobody watches 90 minutes of football matches. Everyone watches the highlights and that's what movies could be too.
Mr. Robot was fairly good at the realism, and even there it was mostly just good for jokes like this:
I could even imagine such a movie being titled "Highlight Reel."
You sound like the type of fellow who would enjoy listening to Darknet Diaries.
Don't forget 6 hours of digging through the garbage behind the business they want to hack.
No, I have an outline for a PERFECT realistic hacker movie that would put asses in seats. Basically, make it The Life And Times Of Deviant Ollam.
Imagine a slightly farcical take on a heist movie, like take on Ocean's Eleven with True Lies' attitude. It's kind of a heist movie, except the infiltrating crew has permission to be there from upper management, but no one else in the building knows this, and the stakes of getting caught are they get to tell their client their security is in fact pretty good. So since the stakes are non-existent, you can lean into the lulz a little bit. You have room for eccentric characters, witty dialog, a running gag of how hilariously bad door locks are, and an ending sequence where you've got a guy in the security room trying not to laugh as he texts the team leader "Just see what you can get away with." And then some of the team is deliberately silly, acting like rebellious teenagers on bikes in the parking lot chased by half the security team, wackiness ensues, intercut with the rest of the team breaking into server rooms and just taking over this company.
You can have the gearing up scene explaining what the gadgetry is. "This is an ESP key; it's a microcontroller with an onboard SD card and Wi-Fi, that we plug into the data wires on one of your badge readers. How do we get it in there? Send two guys wearing high vis vests, one of them carrying a clipboard and watching the other, no one asks a thing. Yeah, there's a tamper alarm that alerts the security guards if anyone opens the reader...I've never seen it hooked up. Now we get a list of every badge used on this reader, and when. See this guy who's badging in like clockwork every 45 minutes? That's a guard. And the ESP key isn't only listening, it can also talk. We can make it send a credential as if the reader did, and unlock this door remotely. Tiffany has two RFID implants, one in each hand. We've cloned two different credentials to the chips in her hands, so she can walk up, present her hand to the reader, and it opens, thinking the guard just badged in. She's carrying a bash bunny; which looks like a USB thumb drive, with a couple switches on the side. It's actually a little computer that, when plugged into a computer, it can pretend to be a flash drive, a keyboard that can automatically type a whole malicious program really fast, a network device, basically anything we need to compromise a target computer. All Tiffany has to do is walk up to a computer and plug this in. We have it set to put this small text file of an ascii art cow saying "you've been pwn'd" on the desktop to prove we've infiltrated that machine, but we really could do...anything we want."
Make me a movie where a guy breaks into a server room in Pepsi pajama bottoms and a t-shirt that says "I'm A Liability" by slipping the latch with a piece of plastic he finds in a nearby trash can.
AKA, make a movie about one of Deviant's convention presentations. It'll be endlessly entertaining.

Be sure to wear a hoodie in a dark room so that you can hack faster.

How do I get out?!
Maybe we took it out of context, maybe they mean that they are logged into their own computer 😂
No didnt you see the black and green text and a big acess granted display they hacked everyone even people without computers.
I'm the guy who designs those. They pay me the big bucks to make sure a hacker feels at home when violating our Gibson, after all. We're one big family here.
Look, it's got full disk encryption and I'm very forgetful.
FWIW, Little known fact: Matrix 2 used real vuln (SSH CRC32) for trinity power grid hacking scene.
Even better to know: the scene was completed before the CRC32 vuln was public. So the scene used real 0day vuln...
Even better to know: the scene was completed before the CRC32 vuln was public. So the scene used real 0day vuln...
Source? After some googling, I can only find that this is a 0day in the matrix universe, but not in the real world at the time the scene was made (matrix reloaded is a 2003 movie, vuln was discovered and patched around 2001.)

At least in Mr Robot they talk about real stuff
Mr. Robot was the best depiction of hacking I can think of. It was fairly realistic while being entertaining too. It shows that anybody who actually wanted to be realistic in a hacking movie could do it, they just choose not to.
That's because actual hacking is actually pretty boring, from an external viewpoint at least.
One of the reasons I love WarGames is that it shows the hacker character actually doing his homework to figure out the correct credentials to get into the system.
Sneakers is really good about this too. The majority of the movie shows them doing real world research and social engineering.
Yeah, the "magic device" they discover that makes encryption obsolete is unrealistic, as is the way it "decrypts" what shows up on their screens. But, the rest of it is really realistic, down to probing individual leads of a chip to see what kinds of signals they emit.
For how much fun NCIS was to watch it also was such a groan whenever the "code" sequences came up

What about DJ Qualls in "The Core"?
While being interrogated in his introduction sequence, he casually folds an aluminum chewing gum wrapper, puts it to his lips and kinda whistles with it for a second, while holding a cell phone in front of his mouth. After this little public display of phreaking, he hands the cell phone over to the hero and says "Here... now you can call anywhere free for life with it".
The main reason I never got into Slow Horses was its utterly ridiculous stereotype of the “computer boffin”. It was so cack-handed it was almost hard to believe.
except lex. she took forever to get in and reactivate the door locks.
