    R2 D2 in Star wars did it best
    Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
    Douglas Adams (Influential author)

See http://www.securityfocus.com/news/4831 - they actually use a real network scanner tool in The Matrix Reloaded, and exploit a vulnerability that actually existed. The details are embellished a bit, but it *is* as about as accurate as it gets in any film that I've seen with hacking in it.
      That has to go up against everything else in the movies.

        Pretty good stuff. So they prepared a LAN PC with a SSH server so that Nmap could be run against it finding the SSH port. But it's hard to make up for the fact that Matrix is such poor sci-fi

          You mean to tell me hacking doesn't involve making the little rubix cube deal thing fit together right?

              Only good thing about Swordfish is you got to see Halle Berry's tits. The rest of that movie was unmemorable for the most part.

                no
                Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

                  the explosion at the beginning of the movie, wasn't bad at all!

                    Does using a prefix code to take control of another ship's systems count as hacking? (Wrath of Khan, Enterprise lowers Reliant's shields.)

                        As "hacking", yes. As real hacking,

                          Sadly Hacking dose not involve involuntary blow jobs (SwordFish)
