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
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.
Yeah, I'll admit I kind of stalled out in season 2 but I've meant to go back and finish... It would be easier if my wife liked that sort of TV 😅 I'll just have to watch it alone 😭
That should only shred the top level files in the root directory though. Since shred doesn't do it recursively and doesn't know what to do with subdirectories.
Do any distros store system critical files at the root directory? It's all subdirectories on mine. I guess if you were storing important data files in the root directory they would get shredded but that's really bad practice anyway and I doubt it's super common.
I have this vague memory of one of the CSIs showing a list of IP addresses with 4-digit octets... I get not wanting to risk using real IP addresses, but at least use 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x x
Well, since obviously no one ever has, let me introduce you to the concept of "sarcasm", which everyone else here understood. Just keep getting angry for no reason.

The only exception is Mr. Robot. Check this command the main character runs as root:
Only show I've seen where they show real commands with really damaging effects.

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

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?

I was playing DMC: Devil May Cry (the prequel one) and they used a bunch of mount commands on a screen to show Virgil hacking the network

Bones shows an "Amiga", that looks suspiciously like an IBM PC-AT complete with 5.25” floppy playing Doom.
nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl · 5 pts · 1y
It’s not an Amiga, looks more like an old grubby fvwm or dec osf1 with uuhhh what was that window manager again?
vk6flab@lemmy.radio · 8 pts · 1y
The OP screenshot is from the TV series "Criminal Minds". My comment is about a TV series "Bones".
The UI in the OP screenshot looks like an X11 window manager from the mid to late 1990's.
