So how accurate is this show from an infosec standpoint? I mean,

I see you're running GNOME.

>>61486325
Most of the hacking comes from him simply having ridiculous luck and guessing people's passwords by looking at their social media accounts. It's not unthinkable, and a lot of people use shitty passwords, but it's ultimately an unrealistic amount of luck.

did someone call me?

>>61486404
AFAIK he was cracking them with dictionary attacks

not unrealistic depending on how the passwords are stored, whether they're salted, etc

>>61486426
Brute forcing passwords of compsec admins working for not-microsoft is even more unrealistic

Not accurate. But is good at using technical terms in non-ridiculous ways

>>61486443
AFAIK He doesn't ever do that. He actually tries to hack the CTO of not-Microsoft and can't manage to do it.
He only brute forces passwords made by regular people. Off the top of my head, I remember him doing it for his best friend, his druggie gf, her shithead dealer, his psychiatrist, his psychiatrist's bf, his best friend's bf, his bumbling manager, and anyone else he has a friendship/relationship with.
I will grant that the Steel Mountain arc was some bullshit.

>>61486443
Bruteforcing and dictionary attack are 2 different things. He did dictionary attack after adding all the personal words he could find about the guy/gal in the wordlist

season 2 with the gooks was just fucking retarded

>>61486426
Also threw in info he had. Dog's name, birthday, that kind of stuff.

>>61486325
Quite literally the most true to live piece of media ever, visually anyway. They hired experts to oversee almost every part of the hacking stuff to make sure it was accurate.

elon musk was pretty good in this movie. will watch the sequel

>>61486773
true to life*

Accurate Linux terminal typing but still shitty second season. "This show is a slow burn made for feggets like me and you."

Show is often edgy for the sake of being edgy

I like this show a lot. I like the fact that it was properly taken care of and everything in the show was legitimate but had a crazy maniac from second 1 in it.

I like this thread too. People who understand the crap in the show was legit, actually appreciate it and then there's the retarded Terry Crews lovers who claim it's all impossible bullshit over and over and over.

>>61486404
>seeing a 10h+ dictionary attack just for the sake of accuracy.

season 3 when

>>61486553
Agreed. The show lost a considerable amount my interest* once I found out his Mr. Robot is his split personality who looks like his father. I still finished season two and I will probably watch season three, but I seriously hope it stops being super lame.

*Except the part where it turns out he was in prison the whole time he was in that shitty neighborhood.

Also, I don't give a fuck about spoilers. This is /g/, not /tv/.

October

>>61487493
Meh. I personally liked the split personality especially at the end of season two with tyrell

I liked it more when it was about a plausible hackers-vs-the-world story, instead of a "what a tweeeeeeest/fightclub and for our second season a whole box of nothing!" story

>>61487614
This

it was an interesting take on what a hybrid anonymous/lulzsec/occupy wall street group could've been like but then it kept trying to outdo itself with le crazy plot twists

The second season sucked a lot because based KDE man wasn't in it a lot

>>61487493
This. I stopped watching when they tried to pull off that pretentious mindfuck.

It's as accurate as you can get while still being entertaining and legal enough for TV. The writer of that show had a panel at defcon where he talked about why and how they do their hacking scenes.

Pretty accurate

>>61486404
well that is a big part of it, if you are going after ie sm accounts. Making a dictionary fitting their shit. Pets, kids, wife birthdays etc
If that fails you move to a small dict, then a bigger one and then a bigger one [....] then you have to brute if all fails

>>61486426
I just realized a dictionary attack would never work on me

He would be better off with a key logger or some shit

It's pseudo-realistic. Closer to reality then anything else you'll see on TV.

The real problem with it is that tried to rip off fight club by doing the whole split personality thing and now have dragged out way too long.

>>61487493
split personality garbage was dumb, dropped after that

>>61486325
The scene where mudslime and fatty hack each other is cringeworthy
