I've told the wife I can't watch these shows because of how bad the tech always is, and I can't stop myself from losing suspension of disbelief when something like this happens

[-] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 54 points 2 years ago

The only exception is Mr. Robot. Check this command the main character runs as root:

shred -uz /*

Only show I've seen where they show real commands with really damaging effects.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 25 points 2 years ago

I remember watching the first episode and he brought up a terminal and thinking "here we go" then..."holy shit... Those are real commands"

That and the explanations I was ready to laugh at for being terrible, then... Wait, no, those actually make sense

[-] menemen@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

And it is also great television. For me personally, the best I've ever seen. Whoever reads this and hasn't seen it already: Do it! And watch it all! Some might think season 2 is a little slow (I still liked it), but season 3 is just incredible.

This guy didn't LS or LL lol just changed directories 4 times and then....?

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Coulda thrown a couple ls -las around and he woulda been golden

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

I have bash_alias open in another window so you can see:

ls='ls -alph --group-directories-first --color=always'

root='sudo rm -f / \ hunter2'

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 28 points 2 years ago

OMG, they just got root access!!!

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Heresy? In my Linux command line? It's more likely than you think

That's some shitty 'hacking'...

But what makes these shell commands 'bash' exactly? Seems like this could be a half-dozen shells.

Also.. why are 'hackers' always using a shell in some gui program?

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 years ago

Also… why are ‘hackers’ always using a shell in some gui program?

An actual CLI would frighten the windows users watching the show.

"Scary how hackers are always using DOS prompts isn't it?"

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah everyone knows the real way to hack Linux is to do tree /

Lots of weird looking text output means lots of hacking

[-] xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 years ago

I guess I just used bash as deonym for shell. Sry. It was late and I was tired.

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 8 points 2 years ago

Hey no worries, I dunno why I even called that out. Lack of sleep due to back pain and responding to posts at 2am I guess

[-] dingdongitsabear@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

just tried to re-watch "the girl in the spider's web", the not-sequel to fincher's masterpiece that's "the girl with the dragon tattoo". I remember hating it way back when and went in with a "how bad can it be" attitude... dios mio, what a colossal mountain of shit. the "hacking" in OP is hard sci-fi compared to this turdistan, and that's the least of its problems.

someone posted already the gell-mann amnesia effect and this applies to everything. how guns are portrayed in movies as magical. cars and how they're driven. the laughable naive cop shows. medical procedures. legal proceedings. journalists and their MO.

you hafta run your brain at 110% at all times to be able to somewhat disregard the learned idiocy that was programmed into you from an early age. here's hoping we have the infrastructure in place so generations that are coming can avoid becoming similarly handicapped.

It makes me happy that I actually understand this stuff now lol

[-] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 14 points 2 years ago

I'm sure there's a community for nonsense TV/film hacking/Linux screens. I can't remember what it's called.

[-] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 years ago

I don't know if equivalent exists on fediverse, but r/itsaunixsystem is available on $that_other_platform.

[-] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 16 points 2 years ago

Ah, that's the clue I needed.

!itsaunixsystem@lemmy.federated.club

Think that instance is dead though.

I was playing DMC: Devil May Cry (the prequel one) and they used a bunch of mount commands on a screen to show Virgil hacking the network

[-] ocassionallyaduck@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

TBH, on ancient insecure systems that might work.

Not very exciting though

[-] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

And here we see an expert hacker at work, with just a few commands as a root user, they managed to gain root access.

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

How is changing directories “hacking”???

Just wait until they discover rm, mv, and mkdir!

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
mkdir /dir
cd /dir
cd /dir
mkdir dir2
cd /dir
cd /dir/2
cd /dir
mv 2 /2
cd /2
mkdir /dir/3
rm -f 3
[-] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 10 points 2 years ago

Heresy indeed. The Codex does not support this shell.

[-] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 8 points 2 years ago

Bones shows an "Amiga", that looks suspiciously like an IBM PC-AT complete with 5.25” floppy playing Doom.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
