well actually this is a good movie coz was real, anyway to be honest i do not remember the original name of the movie, but is not that one with angelina jolie, but anyway....its a about of one of the famoust hackers that have seen on this world i think....and he stole a program that could make a disaster to the whole world it could shutdown wotever he want accesess to banks CIA files etc etc....pretty cool indeed....i will check it out to put the original name....:D im wondering if the program still exist? :P

Kevin Mitnick is quite possibly the best hacker in the world. Hunting for more and more information, seeking more and more cybertrophies every day, he constantly looks for bigger challenges. When he breaks into the computer of a security expert and an ex-hacker, he finds one - and much more than that...

I just go the program on slsk :twisted:

only one thing makes this movie worth while... angelina jolie's titties

[quote=Jibgolly]only one thing makes this movie worth while... angelina jolie's titties[/quote]

yup, and the orbital track- halcyon- on -on :D

well I think what digger is talking about is part 2 and you guys are refering to part 1. In my opinion, Part 2 is MUCH better in that they dont have candy popping ravers dressed in TRON suits hacking the planet.... stupid shit IMO... check out Part 2, its much better and more believable

-e-

this is the second part?, i didnt know it, i did not like the first one, just angelina of course, but anyway this movie its cool, maybe not 100% reality but it cool..... :wink:

Re: Takedown (Hackers)

yeah right e- you never tried hacking the planet? Pffft.
:roll: i can see you in one of those laser tech armatron 3000 vests.. on roller blades. :CrackUp:

Re: Takedown (Hackers)

i dontthink is the part two anyway heres some info about that guy

theres a book who wrote Tsutomu Shimomura, and then came the movie of course.....dont know if it is recent but anyway its a cool movie...

Mitnick was one of the greatest hackers of ALL times. I've read so much shit about him.... while Operation TAKEDOWN was never officially labeled as hackers part 2, its rumored that it was a sequel to the original one...

Jibby..... let me tell you this.... I see much more of your online activities than you would like me to :wink:

-e-

like when i jack off?

this movie was totally bullshit

yeah the story is not that good, but i like the thing he did....hehe.....i mean the computer stuff and cell phones......

actually what mitnick did in reality and how we was tracked down by Shimumora is even better.... I am not sure if they still have it on [url]www.takedown.com[/url] but at one point they had posted entire TELNET sessions of how Tsumitomu was chasing Mitcnick. If you are an average telnet user, it would have been amazing to read up on some of the material.

the book (which I personally haven't read yet) describes in PHENOMENAL detail about the hacks and tracks that the two of them played in this cat and mouse game..... details of several telnet sessions are qupted in the book and pasted on the website too....

if you like to know about hackers..... you'd defo wanna get your hands on this book

if you goto flea markets or computer shows you can buy (free mitnick) buttons and stickers that is how well know he is

its one of the worst movies ever, come so old so outdated and by the way hackers dont run around on laptops painted so fucking gay and they dont have such a gay gui runing in they boxes and then when you roam around in someone else computers it dosent take certain amount of TIME to track you down if you are there and the admin is fucking there he will hunt you and he can turn ur link off with a simple command even if you all ready have all rights inside the computer...and yea the movie blows the only nice thing in the movie is angelinas jolies titties 4 real :twisted:

oh and mitnick its just an old relic that politicians try to use to show new hackers that they can be tracked but, the real good hackers are never caught like the guys who banged ebay, yahoo and amazon a few years ago that was mad they blew the net away for a whole day and they never got caught they even made the stock market prices of this companys drop and have loses just cus they are internet companys....anyway those guys were the Animal Farm legends amog hackers big guys along the level of the Computer Chaos club who were russian and rumanian guys one of they members known as tron was assesinated by the Russia goverment cus they could not stop him from making chaos around they computers, sad but true and even he knew he was being tracked he was killed with a ticket to south africa...

pz

oh yea and the old school hackers used to take metaphetamines or whatever the name of that shit is, to stay up all night hacking and doing shit ha

too much pot sorry

damn that's some write up and some of it I'm not sure of but the other stuff, I have to disagree. Starting with the fact that you're comparing 2 completely different movies. Your first paragraph describes the movie HACKERS - in which Mitnick was NEVER protrayed, that movie is OPERATION TAKEDOWN which described mitnicks life. SECONDLY, Mitnick was NOT caught by the Government, Shimumora was an ethical hacker himself who tracked Mitnick down and helped the feds.

As for what the hackers did with Ebay / Yahoo etc. a few years ago was not hacking, it was a sophisticated (for its time) "technique" (not hack since they never compromised the system) of bringing / shutting down a server with a remote attack called DDOS. And if you hack 1000 NT Boxes, install "programs" that will cumulatively come alive after 2 months on a given date and time and consistently request the URL of a site, that's NOT hacking (puhleeze).... that's the lamest act in the book you can do.

Heck if you type up a ping and force increase the size of a datagram to the largest available, have your computer REPEAT the ping request AND have another 15 friends of yours ping the same request to the same remote computer, you can very well implement a lame ass DDOS attack so that's not really hacking. To learn the "technical" inefficiencies of a system and break that apart IMO is hacking not bloody brute forcing your way into shit. Run a compiler / debugger and translate a password, THEN I'll admit you're a hacker... :wink:
