From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've told the wife I can't watch these shows because of how bad the tech always is, and I can't stop myself from losing suspension of disbelief when something like this happens

[–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 55 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

The only exception is Mr. Robot. Check this command the main character runs as root:

shred -uz /*

Only show I've seen where they show real commands with really damaging effects.

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I remember watching the first episode and he brought up a terminal and thinking "here we go" then..."holy shit... Those are real commands"

That and the explanations I was ready to laugh at for being terrible, then... Wait, no, those actually make sense

And it is also great television. For me personally, the best I've ever seen. Whoever reads this and hasn't seen it already: Do it! And watch it all! Some might think season 2 is a little slow (I still liked it), but season 3 is just incredible.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

I have bash_alias open in another window so you can see:

ls='ls -alph --group-directories-first --color=always'

root='sudo rm -f / \ hunter2'

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 29 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

OMG, they just got root access!!!

at least output dmesg or get htop on the screen or something. you could find it on the internet if you look up commands to look like a hacker and thats not even 30 seconds of effort. i wonder how many other professions cringe at the shitty tv shows about their craft.

[–] Nemoder@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 weeks ago

We even have an app for it now: apt install hollywood

That's some shitty 'hacking'...

But what makes these shell commands 'bash' exactly? Seems like this could be a half-dozen shells.

Also.. why are 'hackers' always using a shell in some gui program?

An actual CLI would frighten the windows users watching the show.

I guess I just used bash as deonym for shell. Sry. It was late and I was tired.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 8 points 2 weeks ago

Hey no worries, I dunno why I even called that out. Lack of sleep due to back pain and responding to posts at 2am I guess

[–] dingdongitsabear@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

just tried to re-watch "the girl in the spider's web", the not-sequel to fincher's masterpiece that's "the girl with the dragon tattoo". I remember hating it way back when and went in with a "how bad can it be" attitude... dios mio, what a colossal mountain of shit. the "hacking" in OP is hard sci-fi compared to this turdistan, and that's the least of its problems.

someone posted already the gell-mann amnesia effect and this applies to everything. how guns are portrayed in movies as magical. cars and how they're driven. the laughable naive cop shows. medical procedures. legal proceedings. journalists and their MO.

you hafta run your brain at 110% at all times to be able to somewhat disregard the learned idiocy that was programmed into you from an early age. here's hoping we have the infrastructure in place so generations that are coming can avoid becoming similarly handicapped.

I'm sure there's a community for nonsense TV/film hacking/Linux screens. I can't remember what it's called.

[–] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't know if equivalent exists on fediverse, but r/itsaunixsystem is available on $that_other_platform.

[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah, that's the clue I needed.

!itsaunixsystem@lemmy.federated.club

Think that instance is dead though.

And here we see an expert hacker at work, with just a few commands as a root user, they managed to gain root access.

Just wait until they discover rm, mv, and mkdir!

Bones shows an "Amiga", that looks suspiciously like an IBM PC-AT complete with 5.25” floppy playing Doom.
