I can't really remember the movie name. (its on the tip of my tongue...) (something egg?) It is based on the real story of a student who discovers that the school was being used as a 'pass thru' to US military computers. I think it was back in the 70's. I remember bits: 1 - He hooked up line printers to each phone line to trace the person and print what he was doing. 2 - He had each operator on a call and listened as each one traced and then call the next operator. 3- They traced it to Germany. (If I remember correctly?) 4 - I think it was 3 hackers. 2 of them disappeared and the last one, in a panic, spilled the beans. (He insisted that the govt was covering everything up and killed his friends) Jeffrey -----Original Message----- From: Edward Miller [mailto:EMiller () tax state va us] Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 05:12 PM To: jasonmerriman11 () aol com Cc: Mike Andrews; webappsec () securityfocus com Subject: Re: Hacking/security in main-stream media how about Minority Report - biometric access control by retina scan "Jason Merriman" <jasonmerriman11@ aol.com> To "Mike Andrews" <mike () se fit edu> 09/30/2004 09:46 cc AM webappsec () securityfocus com Subject Re: Hacking/security in main-stream Please respond to media jasonmerriman11@a ol.com
War Games - [Not sure yet, not managed to pickup the film]
Computer creator uses his son's name as the main password for the system.
Hackers - [Not sure yet, not managed to pickup the film]
Characters dumpster dive to get materials which assist in accessing systems. Mike Andrews wrote on 9/29/2004, 4:00 PM:
A bit off the wall, but as good a place to post this as any :) I'm writing a tutorial/courseware on security (both basic topics and programming) and I'm looking for clips from movies or tv to introduce subjects - I've found that videos work well with introductions and short breaks to getting the audience in the right frame of mind (as well as getting them relaxed). So far I have the following.... Jurassic Park - insider threat (the programmer gets the system to bypass security while he steals the DNA/embryos) Sneakers - Cryptography (when the team discovers it's a crypto box they have) The Net - Personally identifiable information (main characters personal information is deleted) War Games - [Not sure yet, not managed to pickup the film] Hackers - [Not sure yet, not managed to pickup the film] Any other suggestions? I'm only wanting short (5min) sections, but I'm willing to edit bit's out if needed. Cheers, Mike. ---- Mike Andrews Florida Institute of Technology
