Picture this: a tense scene in a movie — it could be any thriller you've seen in the past 15 years — and there's an actor, looking serious, clicking away at a computer keyboard.

 

Maybe he's trying to hack into the big evil corporation's database to save the day. Maybe he's stealing a sensitive tidbit of information from the government. Then, a big red "ACCESS DENIED" flashes across the screen with a flourish of beeps and bleeps.

 

One thing's for sure: What he sees on that monitor looks nothing like what you have on your home computer. That's because it wasn't designed to surf the Internet or do your taxes.

 

"The entire point of those things is to tell a story," graphic interface designer Mark Coleran says. " 'I can't get into the computer.' How do you tell somebody in two seconds, onscreen, that they can't get into that thing?"

well, you fucking dickass cunthole, the matrix managed it OK:

as did lots of other movies

(sshnuke is a fictional name for a real, but old and now patched vulnerability in ssh)

the slashdot comments are funny. a lot of bile.

These GUI's never look good or credible.

the funny thing is that it actually WAS a unix system, IRIX to be exact: http://www.siliconbunny.com/fsn-the-irix-3d-file-system-tool-from-jurassic-park/

haha. i tried and i tried to find a picture of the little wayne knight that pops up when they dont have computer access.

so you're saying you'd prefer watching a fat guy in his basement run some real life decrypting utility that takes days to complete?

Pfft this is what REAL hacking is all about right here:
