Hacking in the Matrix
In movies computers usually are those magical things that know and can do
everything! They have those colorful easy-to-use user interfaces and theirs screen are often just saying “search” …besides they are always finding exactly what you are
looking for :) So computer become either simplified or everything on the screen is so stupid and does not make any sense at all. Huuuuh …the mysterious COMPUTER!
Anyway, at least in this regard Matrix 2 was astonishing! At the end of the film when Trinity tries to shut down the power plant she uses nmap, sshnuke and ssh to hack into their computer! Seems there is no real sshnuke exploit but the vulnerability seems to be a real one!
Other than that I have to admit I did not like Matrix 2 very much. They focused too much on action. Matrix 3 was a little better but the theory behind it wasn’t very convincing. Gave much food for discussions.
But maybe there is only THE ONE! ;)
