How accurate is Mr. Robot /g/?

>>58837127
its not at all, barely see any tech

>>58837127
about 2% because I seen computers in it.
I still like that show,because It is good piece of cinematography , not as good as sherlock but close enought

>>58837127
well to be honest it's fairly accurate, at least compared to the rest.That being said there aren't many (if any really) tv shows about "hacking" & shit

It's just they got the anonymous 2012 fuckng hype which already died.

Season 3 will be decisive if the show will be shit or not, because it actually puts the writers at work.

Show would have been much better without that mental illness/ daddy issues crap

It is pretty accurate to be honest. It's plausible and they are talking about and using real techniques.

It's still a TV-show so they embellish and brush over details of course, but the gist of it is not far from how it's actually done.

Agreed, it's not the pinnacle of satisfying /g/ spergs, but it is pretty good as cyberpunk art.

And their guy that chooses the superficials like what kind of client to use for hacking is good.

>>58837633
but we don't use google stacking windows or the front page.

>>58837633

Yeah their guy that chooses the superficial stuff for the "show techie stuff" scenes is actually good. Sure, he's not perfect but not as much normie as others. Most other shows are still on "enhance this image computer!" mode, deprecated since the day Star Trek did it on the time travel movie, where it was the only time it was actually fun as a comedy.

>>58837807
Noomi was better.

>>58837807
I prefer that girl, but her tech is not that good. Both shows are focus on other topics.

Tech in Mr Robot is more accurate than any show I have seen, but still fiction.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The inferior Americanized version with Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara.

>>58837127
Meh, its both innacurate and accurate.

The hacks are accurate enough for tv, honestly the best I've seen outside of isolated instances (such as the real matrix exploit) but the hyped and pumped up hacking, exploit and stuff is really exaggerated. You don't constantly write custom scripts and stuff, it's 80% reconnaissance, 10% automated scanning, 10% exploiting

Hacks are surprisingly good for tv. Economy and society stuff is shit until you account for the unreliable narrator. Then it might actually be really good, which I suppose is enough.

>>58837127
It's the least inaccurate

>>58837181
>about 2%

Fucking bullshit.
The tech parts are >90% technically accurate and possible. Yes, it's a long shot for them to be possible at the same time, but they're absolutely doable.

In fact, people who are very much smarter than all the people in this thread have consulted with the show writers and created potential scenarios.

If you don't like some of the realism presented, that's fine, but don't claim it's objectively shit when it's just something that you can't personally stand.

The imperfection and conflict is his inability to interact with other people.

Real hacker here. I've given talks at DEF CON and stuff. Nothing that exciting ever happens to me. Hacking is a hobby, and will not change the world or whatever. It's basically just for fun. I like to pick things apart and see how they work. I don't use Kali either, because that's for plebs. I guess the Raspberry Pi thing was accurate, but I mostly use mine for SPI flashing because of the GPIO pins and nice software/community support. It was also $20. I use a Librebooted Thinkpad as my main PC and Debian as the OS.

>inb4 teach me to hack Facebook

I honestly don't know how. There are basic things I could do to try but I have never attempted this. I don't use Facebook or any other social media that requires me to identify myself. Facebook abuses its users. https://stallman.org/facebook.html

I think you're under the impression that being a hacker is something special. Anyone can be a hacker. You just need to use computers in ways they aren't designed to be used. Think outside the box and have a little fun.

No, you're getting the wrong impression. But you're using the term "real hacker". I've hacked tons of hardware, found security holes in various websites and hacked a few local ISPs for free internet in the early 2000s and I don't use the term "real hacker". It's like someone saying "I'm a REAL gentleman". Please.

>Why would I want to be a prick to people?
Take a look at Aaron Swartz, he wasn't a prick to anyone. Or Snowden, he didn't want to cause any harm but to prevent it. But they stepped on toes. You don't have to be a prick to run into a bad situation. Unless you sit around in your room all day and dick around with a cheap chink arduino and a led matrix to display a 16x16 cock, then you're cool.

That's not necessarily true. Each agency still has their own overall agenda just as much as they did many years prior. It's just evolved to match with the information age.

Not to mention there are also plenty of internal feuds to be found as well. FBI doesn't like CIA, CIA doesn't like DEA or NSA or FBI, NSA doesn't care and has dirt on everybody and everything because they can. It's still very much alive and real.

I mean, the only shit that you want to hear is "yes, is pretty accurate, being a hacker is the new way to be anarchist and a Don Jhon at the same time", wich of course never happens.

>>58849780
Nope. Though I appreciate its almost realistic portrayal of hacking, I think the story is garbage. Gave up partway through the second season because they continued to not develop the supporting characters at all, which was all I was interested in seeing after the first season.

The #1 thing Mr. Robot gets wrong is TIME. Yeah the brief tech shots can check out (or sometimes not), and the methods can be spot on, but no matter how realistic the stages of the prison break were, even the one true hackerman isn't pulling that off in a day. Everything done in season 1 would take weeks of planning and days or weeks of execution (case by case), at least.

It's about as accurate as you'd get, trying to depict a nutjobs delusions.

Imagine fight club but:

Instead of a hardcore club of dudes fighting it's a diverse club of minorities... Who kind of just came out of nowhere with no real explanation

Instead of a plot about a jaded, disconnected and antisocial character who's only interaction with other people is through odd relationships, Ed Norton has friends and co-workers that we get to hear all about, especially their personal relationship issues. Isn't that so great and not something put in solely to appeal to generic fucking normalfuck and women?

Instead of being lauded as a great film, everyone talks about how good the chemistry is in the bomb and soap making... But the writing is not intelligent at all and the only part that seems intelligent is actually the part they fucked up technically and isn't realistic.

That show is as realistic as you can get. The reason why they can't make it 100% realistic is because it would be boring as fuck and illegal. You can't teach people how to hack on TV.
They have 4-5 white hat writing all the computer scenes for them. White hat hackers that have worked with FBI and other government agencies.

What I got:
Here's a side plot about relationships and

This show was good until it went cliche..

"Oh that guy you've been seeing all the time? Yea, he wasn't really there"
