Seems like the story line from the TV show is just as realistic as the
story O'Brien has been telling everyone:

You might see: Immunity Silica, Kali / Backtrack, Linux, fierce.pl,
metasploit, netcat, etherape, Burp Suite, nmap, Shodan, aircrack, Tor,
Iceweasel, WebSecurify, and ~20 tools in total on the show! Most of
the scenes content was generated on Kali using real tools in simulated
environments. You can see a good close-up at 2m03s:

OK...yeah...so actually CBS cut many of the scenes we put together and
seemingly tried to make it "more Hollywood style" aka "unbelievable".
At least they left in the scene with RSnake's fierce.pl and metasploit
on Kali Linux. In the original version, the plane at the end was
hacked via wireless; _NOT_ an ethernet cable. That was ridiculous in
either case. So, you should all probably go watch "The Listening" aka
the Italian film "In ascolto" instead:

Or if you want a _REAL_ history lesson:
