You scared the shit out of me, I thought someone, somehow, somewhere hacked a military satellite and BitTorrent was involved. That would have screwed our pooches, even with the technical impossibilities.

Torrent Freak TV has improved over the pilot.

The host seems more professional. There are less technical problems. The stories are more interesting,

How many movies can you name that actually display real hacking methods? You don't, because somewhere in the world the nerdiest motherf*cker will be watching, he will get a nose bleed over hacking codes, and the movie would get sent back to the lab.

Unless, of course, they make it sly enough. Did anyone confirm whether Trinity actually uses a hack in the power plant scene? Prove me wrong if you wish.

Don’t u remember the hack in “Clear and Present Danger” ? When the guy just tries different variations of information to find the right password lol. I think it was wife’s year, kid’s day, father’s month, twice reversed, or something to that degree.

not really a hack i guess…

@33:

The Hackers movie came to mind when I read the story, but there was another bit I thought of – a Dilbert cartoon where the PHB tries to use his laptop to land the plane he’s aboard. It of course crashes.

Kee-rist! Anyone worth his salt knows that hacking via MAC or Windows is for kidz.

Real hackers use rTorrent.

Maybe it was an homage to the BT community by the editor/post production staff or prop guy? Let’s look at it as a silent protest of the MPAA from whomever was responsible for it. I can’t imagine that someone would specifically find and use this client – they had to have known about it before hand.

Another things:

How can the “bad-people” use internet to locate the car of
“the transporter”, without satelite coverage? Since their is no phone signal (the transporter cant call out)… Also using the not hacked milatairy satelite?

I would love to see realistic
password-cracking in movies .
They would start in episode 1 and once we have downloaded episode
36.489 from bit-torrent they might be half done :)

Oh yeah. And don’t forget about the part in ID4 where Jeff Goldblum hacks some alien’s spaceship force-field with an old G3 PowerBook. And who says OS9 is obsolete?

Lulz. This TOTally reminds me of the part in “Hackers” where the guy is looking at the gal’s laptop and he says (and I’m not kidding) “Killer refresh rate!” Also brings to mind the Penny Arcade comic about the laughably goofy technology-speak used in the latest Die Hard movie. (“They’re stealing the webs!” “Which webs?” “All of them!”)

“Seems you (author) didn’t watch this movie OR you’ve got a damn lame taste IMO.”

I specifically watched it to do some research for the article.

But what I lack in movie taste, I certainly try to make up for via sarcasm, I even gave a nice wink at the end

here’s another ;)

Didn’t they use screenshots of a valid ssh-exploit for the hacking scenes in one of the matrix movies (when trinity hacks the security of the power plant). Now that’s what I call nice research!

I still believe that by far the best fake “hack” is in Swordfish, when Hugh Jackman’s character cracks some encryption with a super-hottie lipstick-gliding his manhood… now that dude was my hacker idol.

They just wanted some advanced looking scary text hackary looking program that people would not understand. I think they went with bittorrent as a joke for those few that does notice it and does understand. :)

Statham’s acting isn’t strong enough for a lead role. Come on Jason give us something worth paying for.
