Someone, technically literate, recommends the hacking TV series "Mr. Robot". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Robot_%28TV_series%29

...

From wikipedia:

The series follows Elliot Alderson, a young man living in New York City, who works at Allsafe as a cyber security engineer. Elliot has social anxiety disorder, but connects to people by hacking them and acts as a cyber vigilante. He is recruited by a mysterious social-anarchist known as "Mr. Robot", and joins his team of hackers, known as "fsociety". One of their missions is to take down one of the largest corporations in the world, E Corp (known as "Evil Corp" by Elliot) ---

I recommend it, I watch it every week. About the Hacking techniques, they are completely accurate. Enjoy, https://thepiratebay.gd/search/Mr%20Robot/0/99/0 On 17 August 2015 at 05:38, Georgi Guninski wrote:

I haven't watch it yet. "someone" agrees about the hacking techniques. Might be wrong, but am sceptical that U$A would allow TV series conveying anti-establishment/anti-bigcorp message (IMHO big TVs are f.cked whores). Without spoiling the plot of the series, do you find it "socially correct" so far?

As usual it's in the grey zone. The big corporation the characters are fighting against is huge and can afford to cover up its mistakes without any repercussions. The corporation is doing stupid/bad things and hackers decided to stop that nonsense( you'll see what stop means if you watch the series ) It's interesting how even my non-techy friends like it. I can't recommend it enough but you have to see for yourself. Watch the pilot episode at least. On Mon, Aug 17, 2015 at 05:53:30AM -0430, Damian Fossi wrote:

I saw the first two episodes, they weren't half bad; somebody obviously did their homework. But then, I'm easy - Archer had me at Jessica Walter, and the bits and pieces of spookish history they throw into the scripts amuse me more than they should. I would would endorse a little independent film called Algorithm to the Cpunk crowd: Surprisingly realistic, including the radically political angle; I like it when a movie leaves me asking myself, whose propaganda was that anyway? :o) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJV0darAAoJEDZ0Gg87KR0LSCAP/3yGe+P/X8A3ZyJZWN/J5aGP ghZfjcfHGAosVULnh0Q40SOqHEYRgCqdWRqVz8dfDuruLsqUJL/NFYokFlwraTyh Xr4oCdbyP4444AmO+ZoweUFr7nN9200HMKI56UtEsErOEbhtMZZjk0c41C7s2ZdX TXb0PZmnYXD4+a9zKF/+0Ozf+NiXtxUNQCyxAGG8fPwvBzXjFOpd7rCoE0tfbJv2 xHTeJL2JYvyGre9D8qngPKQCRlR91UrUzritPpaR6lc2x5kCye+uv3fytfDPhwmT rkAYSPsjKR17P7sLtYKhbB2y7YaFDS+dKJlJ8Be5Fh8onk8pu80uQH7mdF8p+eQ8 DttIi/9sukW/fiHWIv7nL16YF6aGuJPmhqigKBcUxueSbR2DenyRTblAs6tDqjRF RniLz4/JldpPS3WRqgzzFBuENoflB+G6+eARUKoNf4bw4XJ0uPRXBsCZByW8ERQ+ j9yxw6ILoyBUgUlpEscly//afR1PPMxrX3CTcVuGnd8tOc8HmG3+tKqTCYEDbJ4a ouzTBqvDf9eEklEcFKDztdljtlPip3XPxItDTQXB007yCyvUnSIV9PxxjYKyMwfd VjEwSjrT2GAiRhOBOGLsDDSIcXnA8bom+voRJgeHmBkUfFSWUrEtN1HboxRvSX7P FXgv+lzZie7v75liuOGw =B9VV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Your suggestion is well within financial reach. According to trivia, the decent movie "Travelling Salesman" (2012)

...

The film was made for under $10,000.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1801123/trivia?ref_=tt_ql_trv_1 If this turns to be thread about "want to see movies", I would like to see this old free book filmed: Underground Tales of hacking, madness and obsession on the electronic frontier http://www.underground-book.net/ ...and... Documentary about "Hacking in the '90s'. Wouldn't argue about the title, but something like "Division by zero" would be better. IIRC there is a novel with this exact name (I recommend it). By Ted Chiang.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Curious, I've also heard good things about it. Considering seeing it. No subscription TV since 2003, but the internet will work for me to check out an episode. On 08/17/2015 03:23 AM, Damian Fossi wrote:
