I rewatched Stranger Things season 4, which takes place in 1986, and there’s a scene where code flashes on the screen while they’re “hacking”. It shows:
- Turbo C++ - not invented until 1990
- HTML - 1993
- HTTPS - 1994 (it’s called htsps on the screen)
- PHP - 1995
- CSS - 1996
- Iframe - 1997
- C# - 2000
- .NET Framework - 2002
- CoffeeScript - 2009
- Flexbox - 2009
Literally unwatchable
Should type in
call -151
(Apple 2 assembly entrance)
Yeahhh. Apple IIe, just turn it off, stick a disk in and turn it back on!
The Stranger Things universe has time travel confirmed.
I seem to remember reading that what Trinity did in the opening scenes of The Matrix before the police busted in was actually doing a real exploit. So it got done properly at least once!

echo Im inNormies: “shut up, he is doing magic stuff”

Row row row your boat
The Plague, the greatest corporate cyber-sec guy of all time. He even had Penn working for him.

omg it’s not just a website but it’s in the repos?
Honestly though if i’m doing video stuff and I leave htop and nvtop running on the second screen, that gets you like half way to this.
It is indeed, I didn’t know for a long time and thought others would like to know 😁
Yeah most hacking scenes are ridiculous. Shows like mr.robot are more realistic.
“I’m in.”
Here’s a trigger for you all: Numb3rs description of IRC
“Two ships meeting in uncharted waters”. Are you fucking kidding me?
You should be given 10 lashing over a barrel with the cat o nine for linking that.
WHERES THE QUATERMASTER TELL EM TO BRING THE CAT
A loud yowling, generally irritatated cat is plonked unceremoniously on the table
what, what now
I remember watching Mr. Robot and then learning they actually brought in a good consultant. Probably the first time I felt things seemed legit’ish.
People talked about the steps that Trinity takes to take down the energy grid in the Matrix (3?) is pretty legit as well.
Have you guys seen Jurassic Park? It ran on UNIX!
kinda /s. I mean, it took somebody young and feminine to fix what the old white guy fucked up right? (I’m an old white guy fwiw, but MY system fuckups are all natural)
On Windows running
treefromC:\is a good one.Well, having a well maintained and up to date system is a cornerstone of any good hacking practice!
just go to the C-root and type “tree”
or to / for civilized people
