1. i just had a test on malware and cybersecurity and now i'm watching this video lmao

2. i stopped watching after the 1100th clip they paused sammy with..

3. PDF readers have been infamous in the past for containing security vulnerabilities allowing stuff like remote execution. There's nothing particularly unrealistic about a PDF file embedding a keylogger — picture, for example, a scenario where a mail is sent to you about you needing to change the password, with a PDF attachment containing instructions on how to do this — except that embedded within it is also a keylogger that will inevitably log your password change.

4. You know what's very scary and still fun?
   You can always get hac…
   VISIBLE HACKING SIGNS

5. Me: Seeing some nice comments on YT
   Clicks unintentional on dislike, instead of like
   Also me after seeing this video: "I'm getting hacked!"

6. Hollywood has challenge of making something entertaining, yet accurate to people who can do it really, yet not so accurate that normal people can actually duplicate the crimes, yet logical all at the same time.

7. 19:11
   Clearly this man doesn't Rice i3 on arch linux.

8. but most of all, samy is my hero

9. "Programmers are black hat hackers!"

10. If you know how to program you know how to hack

11. I understand every third word he says. I need to take a IT class

12. omg I feel like puking seeing all this
    the music they put over it is even worse

13. STOP THE CONSTANT INTERFERING WITH THE STUPID CLIPS

14. I love how funny he finds the attempts at hacking displays in every clip

15. omg, this edit with interruptions is so so destructive

16. the song at 13:23 is flyleaf – i’m so sick

17. "Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word" No?

18. Actually, there's a security problem with pdfs and you can in fact hide executables on pdf files.

19. Matrix as a sci fi could be more accurate than it's given credit for. Since matrix is a computer simulation somehow every powergrid is in fact "connected to internet". Also sshnuke could be just a piece of software built with algorithms to take down a server, think of it as a piece of executable code that has "prewritten" command line codes.

20. The scene in Blackhat was accurate as well. PDF files sometimes do contain security exploits which can install software on a machine or create other forms of access to a malicious actor. PDF exploits are fixed all the time and it's advisable to keep your PDF reader up to date.

21. The matrix hacking scene was realistic. It's possible that sshnuke is just a custom shell script designed to run other commands to try and break into a potentially vulnerable server. You might want to put it into a shell script if you planned to re-use the attacks later on.

22. How come you didn't include the "Who Am I" movie ?

23. "Console or terminal" proceeds to shows a picture of a code editor

24. But where is EDWARD!?

25. but most of all, samy is my hero

26. What’s with the annoying gifs

27. Why did they put a text editor with an html file when they said console/terminal whahahah wtf

28. I made to mr robot I'm to bored, have fun!

29. They really left out the white girl hacking in Jurassic Park???

    COME ON!!

30. where is that movie scene in which the guy hacks the system using HTML.

31. He's way too nice to Hackers and Swordfish, the most embarrassing depictions of computer usage and hacking ever filmed, made by and for people who know less about computers than my 82 year-old mother.

32. I think he said carnal, not kernel.

33. Tbh I didn’t understand half of what he said

34. I do Cybersecurity for a living and have done plenty of red team exercises,, etc..
    Hacking In movies is wayyyyyyyyyy more exciting than real life. Defense/Blue team is wayyyyy more exciting ?

35. For the traffic lights, it's enough to change only the time variable value. To ad longer wait or more time of the light turned on. Source: I made a miniature traffic light with Atiny and BASCOM (ofc irl it's more complicated, but I think I could do it).

36. I like how they paused him every time robot played

37. 11:15, did i my little eye spy nmap??? neo has a keeper.

38. Weird Science is a legendary movie and Kelly LeBrock is smokin hot

39. He Forgot the NCIS New York episode where they are trying to locate a hacker by logging into an MMO and chasing his avatar

40. worst editing ive ever seen in my 18 years
