Computer Security in the Matrix?
Finally, a little truth in fiction!
Okay, so this article ran in Slashdot first, but still, it’s pretty cool. After all the wildly inaccurate views of computer security that Hollywood has shown us, from the 3D graphics in “Hackers” to the 3D interface for the UNIX system in “Jurassic Park”, it’s nice to see someone using an actual security tool for a change. Fellow security “entusiasts” will recognize a tool called NMap. Apparently, there’s a scene in “The Matrix Reloaded” where Trinity uses NMap to penetrate an SSH server for something. And, they used actual screen shots of NMap!
(And, they’ve got some advertising set up to take advantage of it.)
Man, I have got to get out to see this movie!
