Think Dexter meets `some decent hacking tv show`

-- I wonder will any one notice the backticks I used above, instead of quotes..

No command 'some' found, did you mean:
Command 'tome' from package 'tome' (multiverse)
some: command not found

Episode 2 held up well.

Got a taxi the other day and we started talking about Infosec. He landed me with a belter of "Dya ever watch that CSI Cyber? Njayz tis fierce what they can do yknow. Tis unreal".

I told him to look out for Mr. Robot when it comes out. His poor face will melt.

renewed for a season 2

Quality show, really enjoying it.

Thought it was going to be a pile of nonsense but its really well done.

Spoilers ahead***

Just watched ep 3, anyone else abit confused....is the actual story making sense? I've never had to rewatch an ep to make sense of a show.

They may sort out who the flip is real or in his head quick smart or I'm off, this is definitely ruining it for me.

Viewing Numbers are dropping after every ep, down to 1.2m from 1.7m after 4 eps.

Khannie

There's a spoiler tag that you can use. I haven't seen episode 3 so I don't want to read / edit your post. Spoilers work like this:

I turned a good few people on to it after the stellar First ep but they've all dropped it after eps 3 and 4.

4 was poor aswell for me.

His drug trip dragged on far to long, I'm having issues with what the flip is real or not. They're not doing a good job of it at all.

I'll keep with it for another while.

I think I have a problem dropping shows, I'm still watching suits!! First Season was great and it's been a big Turd ever since but I keep expecting it to come back, it never does. There must be a good few like me as I see it's renewed for a Season 6 already.

I know what you mean, it was the first episode I had one eye on my phone while watching it. I still think it's great, I guess they have some agenda with the drug angle beyond the obvious. I've been told to watch Suits, still haven't, it's a big commitment at this stage.

No, no. First Ep is brill, it'll hook ya, then it's just downhill all the way to the drivel of a Season 4 and turd so far Season 5.

Said to myself a few times "why am i watching this"

You, me and Khannie should go for pints some night. We seem to have similar interests....

Khannie

I'm off to New York next week! WOOP! Not joking.

But yeah...I like pints too. And security things.

That said, I booked my flights for DefCon yesterday, so I reserve the right to feel smug as well.

Lets make plans for pints.

Beers in the Rio are(or were last year) nine dollars each). On the last day with a critically small amount of money left, we went to an offie in the morning and bought a six pack. 6 pack = 8 dollars. I'll treat my self to a few beers in the Rio and probably a few cocktails, but I'll be having beers I brought myself in the smoking area too. Also handing someone a cold beer is a great way of meeting people.

Edit2: Bring a few lighters. People always need them and its another great way of meeting people. I was standing in the Casino area having a cigerette, and a guy asked me for a light, which I gave him. He then handed me a flier for the book "The Android Hackers handbook", and he goes "You should buy this book", and I go "Is it good?" and he goes "It ought to be, I helped write it". It was Joshua Drake, co-author of said book. Had a great chat and met up with him later.

They are indeed. My boss left in Jan (there's only 2 of us on the team) without using his training budget. They were slow in hiring and the deadline for using the budget was running out, so they just gave it to me to use instead. I figured DefCon week would be a bit more fun than another course.

I'm up for that, I'm there from this Sat until the 10th, so lots of time.

Yeah hopefully Paris/Bally's is a bit cheaper, but I doubt it. I took a quick look for offies in the area and there's one beside Tuscany where BSides is on, so I'll probably stock up there. On the other point, I don't smoke, but grabbing a few lighters does sound like a good tip anyways as I have heard that the smoking areas are one of the best areas to hang out, especially at night time.

Get there really early for registration. Last year i started queuing at 8am got my ticket around 1pm. 5 hours of queuing.

I'll be there from 5 this year.

Edit: Bring a few bottles of water.

dbit

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

dbit

I cant find Fsociety on any efnet servers ?

Which is where it's ratings are continuing to go. Ep 6 lowest yet I wonder will they roll back on renewing it??


Not surprised after Ep4. Haven't went back to it after that yet.

Keyzer

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.

paulmclaughlin

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!

NeutralHandle

"Where Is My Mind" instrumental - same song used at the closing scene of Fight Club.

Well last nights Ep was kinda , well , amm you need to see it i guess as the weirdness pretty much comes to an end.

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:

???

You must not watch anything with a phone number dialled or read out so?

They must think its an IPv6 address :unsure:

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.

me_irl

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.
