Someone please tell Hollywood that you cannot hack systems by typing some random command in the terminal.

yes you can with https://geekprank.com/hacker/

@xsid,
Oh god, I can't even!

sudo apt install php*

sudo bash Im_in.sh

Op never seen a pentest toolbox

./hacksystem.sh

Of course that's possible. A monkey at the keyboard will eventually not only type Shakespeare's works, but also hack any computer.

Depends on the exploit.

It's a movie. What did you expect. It's Hollywood, most likely some over the top action scene, not a documentary.

@gashadokuro wasn't aware of this one 🤣

@Kimmax that's the reason some of my non technical friends ask me to hack Facebook

Hollywood, sacrificing realism for looking cool since always. Everything in movies is way different than real life but looks cool: bare-fisted fights, sword fights, gun fights, hacking, sports, whatever. When you see them in real life, they are always different but more boring, which is why they do that.

@ethernetzero
The point is gunfights usually look actually cool.
But in case of hacking, Hollywood regularly shoots past cool and right into cringe.
At least for everyone, who know at least a bit about technology.
(Same goes for videogames by the way)
