    Apparently I am showing my age and the yearly "defcon has been cancelled" joke is all but forgotten.

    Nope. It's a staple. :)

    Would love to be going , Buddy is off over . Might try for next year . :-(.

    Ye the show has dropped off after 4th ep - its getting hazey and not too sure
    if Slater's character is in his head or real, then one scene he sees one of the hacker group in his gaff and she stands and tells the other girl to hold up and move along as they have important stuff to talk about . IS it only Flip thats ment to be in his head induced from paranoia and too much fun biscuits

    First ep was fecking brilliant, the problem with that is that it can only go downhill.

    Great start, turning into absolute nonsense now.
    Hacking a prison (even if it was possible) in that time frame !!! Ridiculous. The creator has gone to great pains to demonstrate authenticity with the technical side of the show but this was just plain dumb.

    Ah I'm still really enjoying it. You have to suspend disbelief a bit for these things.

    One thing that really annoys me about the show is the way they film certain scenes with a off-character viewpoint. Probably the worst time they did it was this:

    Next thing you know, you won't be able to see characters at all, you'll just be staring at the ceiling, listening!

    CSI cyber is good show.

    Season 1 has a few obvious problems but by second EP of season 2 they've fixed 'em all - this is getting very good. It's covering good stuff - they had a phone gyro picking up vibrations from someone typing in 1 EP. Thread on here about that before.

    Give it a look. Far far better than that Mr Robot sh1te.

    You've got the shows mixed up i think...

    Had to stop watching CSI after they'd an IP address of 971.634.121.122 or similarly ridiculous :pac:

    Then it wouldnt be periods, it would be colons.

    The reason for the invalid IP is very simple. If they put a valid IP address on screen, some eejit will point a port scanner at it. As Tombstone points out, phone numbers in America don't actually contain 555 in the middle.Thats done for the same reason, because if they put a valid telephone number, people would call it.

    I was watching Law and Order SVU the other night and Benson called out her direct line number to someone. Funnily enough it was exactly the same number as was on the business card given to Deadpool in the movie Deadpool. It was 555-0199.

    From wikipedia:
    "777-9311" by The Time used Dez Dickerson's actual telephone number at the time the song was written, causing his phone to ring off the hook until he had his number changed.

    How sad would you have to be to dial a valid number from a song? Pretty sad but those people are out there. If they included valid IP addresses in Mr Robot or CSI Cyber for that matter, some "Im so l33t coz I downloaded nmap", would scan or connect to that IP.

    I'm basing my opinion on CSI Cyber from this scene.... and it doesn't fill me with confidence...

    Prepare for cringe.

    Mr Robot on the other hand is a very gritty and well researched tech-thriller (as far as my IT knowledge goes). It doesn't glorify hackers or have stupid GUI's. I like that it features Social Engineering (Kevin Mitnick. Ghost in the Wires is a good book on him!).

    Saying that though, haven't finished the series yet. As mentioned previously some of the obscure camera angles, while put there to alienate the characters, are annoying and beginning to become pretentious.

    I've always wished that some writer in a TV show would stick in a known NSA/FBI/US Mil IP address to troll skiddies.
