And here we see an expert hacker at work, with just a few commands as a root user, they managed to gain root access.

I think you mean cd /root dummy

I've told the wife I can't watch these shows because of how bad the tech always is, and I can't stop myself from losing suspension of disbelief when something like this happens

[-] LunarLoony 1 points 1 day ago

Brooklyn Nine-Nine did an entire episode lampshading this whole thing. (S06E14 for the curious)

[-] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 55 points 6 days ago

The only exception is Mr. Robot. Check this command the main character runs as root:

shred -uz /*

Only show I've seen where they show real commands with really damaging effects.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 26 points 5 days ago

I remember watching the first episode and he brought up a terminal and thinking "here we go" then..."holy shit... Those are real commands"

That and the explanations I was ready to laugh at for being terrible, then... Wait, no, those actually make sense

[-] menemen@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

And it is also great television. For me personally, the best I've ever seen. Whoever reads this and hasn't seen it already: Do it! And watch it all! Some might think season 2 is a little slow (I still liked it), but season 3 is just incredible.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago

Yeah, I'll admit I kind of stalled out in season 2 but I've meant to go back and finish... It would be easier if my wife liked that sort of TV 😅 I'll just have to watch it alone 😭

[-] Cyber@feddit.uk 11 points 4 days ago

This still makes me laugh:

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

I'm curious what this does, I'll run it when I get home.

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

That should only shred the top level files in the root directory though. Since shred doesn't do it recursively and doesn't know what to do with subdirectories.

Do any distros store system critical files at the root directory? It's all subdirectories on mine. I guess if you were storing important data files in the root directory they would get shredded but that's really bad practice anyway and I doubt it's super common.

OMG, they just got root access!!!

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Heresy? In my Linux command line? It's more likely than you think

How is changing directories “hacking”???

Just keep changing directories and the mainframe will be confused and overwhelmed and tHeN ThE SyStEm cOlLaPsEs, MaN!!!

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 22 points 5 days ago

That's some shitty 'hacking'...

But what makes these shell commands 'bash' exactly? Seems like this could be a half-dozen shells.

Also.. why are 'hackers' always using a shell in some gui program?

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 20 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yeah everyone knows the real way to hack Linux is to do tree /

Lots of weird looking text output means lots of hacking

This guy pythons

Also… why are ‘hackers’ always using a shell in some gui program?

An actual CLI would frighten the windows users watching the show.

"Scary how hackers are always using DOS prompts isn't it?"

[-] xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 5 days ago

I guess I just used bash as deonym for shell. Sry. It was late and I was tired.

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 8 points 5 days ago

Hey no worries, I dunno why I even called that out. Lack of sleep due to back pain and responding to posts at 2am I guess

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 37 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

/root
root

~/../root

root/

ls /root/

I'm in!

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 18 points 6 days ago

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

at least output dmesg or get htop on the screen or something. you could find it on the internet if you look up commands to look like a hacker and thats not even 30 seconds of effort. i wonder how many other professions cringe at the shitty tv shows about their craft.

[-] Nemoder@lemmy.ml 20 points 5 days ago

We even have an app for it now: apt install hollywood

just tried to re-watch "the girl in the spider's web", the not-sequel to fincher's masterpiece that's "the girl with the dragon tattoo". I remember hating it way back when and went in with a "how bad can it be" attitude... dios mio, what a colossal mountain of shit. the "hacking" in OP is hard sci-fi compared to this turdistan, and that's the least of its problems.

someone posted already the gell-mann amnesia effect and this applies to everything. how guns are portrayed in movies as magical. cars and how they're driven. the laughable naive cop shows. medical procedures. legal proceedings. journalists and their MO.

you hafta run your brain at 110% at all times to be able to somewhat disregard the learned idiocy that was programmed into you from an early age. here's hoping we have the infrastructure in place so generations that are coming can avoid becoming similarly handicapped.

I was playing DMC: Devil May Cry (the prequel one) and they used a bunch of mount commands on a screen to show Virgil hacking the network

[-] ocassionallyaduck@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

TBH, on ancient insecure systems that might work.

Not very exciting though

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 5 points 4 days ago

Ah look at the cute little Viewsonic birds on the upper left. :D

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

It makes me happy that I actually understand this stuff now lol

[-] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 14 points 6 days ago

I'm sure there's a community for nonsense TV/film hacking/Linux screens. I can't remember what it's called.

[-] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 12 points 6 days ago

I don't know if equivalent exists on fediverse, but r/itsaunixsystem is available on $that_other_platform.

[-] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 16 points 6 days ago

Ah, that's the clue I needed.

!itsaunixsystem@lemmy.federated.club

Think that instance is dead though.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
