I'm teaching a Network Security class this fall. I'm looking for a cake assignment to give on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving instead of class. I was thinking of having them watch a moving with hacking / security over break and then discuss after returning from Thanksgiving break. I can think of the Net and Hackers. Any other movies you can think of?
Greetings:
This is the movie that inspired me to become a L337 H4xx0r. I hope your students will enjoy it as much as I did. David Lightman is an inspiration to all of us.

:eek:
How about the movie AntiTrust...We just watched that in Intro to Programming.
Worst hacker movie...etc...found here...

AntiOnline - Search Results
Eg ;)
Sneakers... one of my favorite movies.
Hackers... Hey... you can see Angelina Jolie's boobs, need I say more?
Matrix Trilogy.... Ummm, Keanu Reeves is a homo, but the movies weren't too bad.
Wargames... It started it all
And I'll post more when I think of them.
EDIT: Tron... Good movie.

Did none of you understand I was beiing Sarchastic!
Hahah
:D
how is that off topic. he is asking for a link to a movie about wep keys. The post asks for movies with hacking/security. It never once said he was looking for hollywood movies\fiction. I think his was the best response of them all.Quote:

Hi XTC46,
Well...actually he was asking about hollywood movies...
which is why I posted as I did.Quote:

But the ' search ' link I provided also leads to non-movie references..in case he wanted to expand.
Eg ;)
Thanks for the ideas.
As far as the whole "l33t h4xAaRr" jazz goes... the movie (hackers) holds the most truth psychologically than any other movie like it. For example, there is no point where these kids do anything they find particularly enjoyable and fun with computers in the sense of lets say a hobby or something of that nature... the only time they did anything was when they felt a need to impress others.Quote:

Which brings me to this... Pink floyd - The wall.
Lets just say that I've alienated myself from others and just leave it at that.
...and to follow up on Egaladiest's comments...the thread starter made it obvious he was looking for Hollywood movie titles. Maybe not in the title, but definitely in the post.
This yahoo flies in and
#1 starts asking for crap that he obviously didn't try to search for
#2 finds a thread vaguely related only in that a few of the words may apply in a minimalistic sense to his search
That deserves a touch of smack down, in my opinion.

The forum: Newbie Security Questions
The subject line: I was thinking of having them watch a moving with hacking / security over break and then discuss after returning from Thanksgiving break.
Sorry I didn't correlate "Net" and "Hackers" to hollywood movies right away, that was a long time ago. I thought he wanted educational videos since he is a teacher. My post was a suggestion, and a request for someone else to post the link, since I lost it.
"#1 starts asking for crap that he obviously didn't try to search for"
Tried, didn't find it actually.
"#2 finds a thread vaguely related only in that a few of the words may apply in a minimalistic sense to his search"
Hacker/security movies falls under "Hacking a WEP Key" I'd think.
I didn't realize these forums were so confrontational.
Thanks XT.
Obviously I wasn't the only one that misunderstood his request. But damned if
I do, apparently that hurt a lot of people.
A couple off the top of my mind...
Takedown (AKA Operation Takedown) [1]
Freedom Downtime [2]
The Realm of Hackers [3]
Sneakers [4]
Johnny Mnemonic [5]
Revolution OS [6]

[3] http://www.abc.net.au/tv/documentari...es/s853348.htm

Don't forget to check out www.archive.org
Search for "hack" in "Opensource Movies"
The ones from archive.org are free to download and you won't require anyone to buy/rent a movie...
Hack Tv
Infonomicon
DougTV
systm (Formerly The Broken)
The Scene (very good about the life of a pirate/warez group)
Pure Pwnage (pretty funny)
A lot of Hack in the Box Security Conference videos
I'll often watch the ones from archive.org in the hour or two that I have every day before class. Quite entertaining.
For the future...
Get the audio files from the fifth hope... make for pretty good driving material since the radio all sounds the same...

Egaladeist,
how does that in anyway prove what he was looking for. He said those are the only movies he could think of. Doesnt mean its exactly what he was looking for becasue if it was he wouldnt ask for more help. ****, I have people call me asking for things all day, half the time what they want is not what they ask for. In this case he wanted movies, not fiction.
damn me for assuming a teacher wanted an educational film. yea, he wanted a cake assignment, but any discussion is a cake assignment when you dont have to actually provide proof for anything.
Hi XTC46,
If you read both my posts then you would know that I provided both...the cake assignment which was clearly movie related...
and what you said...the alternative...of which the ' search ' link was related.
I agree that a teacher might want the alternative...and I provided a source for it...but the post was to provide something for the kids to do that wasn't intensive...eg. movie reviews...because he didn't want to get into something heavier before the long weekend...and he explained that in his post.
My comments to you were in regard to what you said...
and I would agree if that was what he was looking for...but our posts were relevant to what he wanted...what he asked for...a movie to watch before the long weekend...something easy to give them to do over the long weekend: a movie review...if he had asked for something more intensive I would have posted differently.Quote:
I think his was the best response of them all.
Being that he's a teacher I can understand why you felt the way you did...maybe I felt the same way...depending upon the age of his class, maybe a hollywood movie review might be a little cheesy...but cheesy was what he asked for.
Eg ;)
Hey Hey,
Computer Movies.... the joy of the world ... or at least my world.
Fictional
-----------
1) Hackers
2) Sneakers
3) The Net (oh come on.. you all know you loved it.)
4) AntiTrust
5) War Games
6) The Matrix
7) Swordfish
8) Tron
9) Code Hunter
10) The Terminator (it was used in my security class for physical security)
Non-Fictional
----------------
1) Operation Takedown (I guess this could be debated where it goes)
2) Hippies from Hell Documentary (http://hippies.waag.org/project.php)
3) Freedom Downtime (http://www.freedomdowntime.com/)
4) New York City Hackers (http://uit.no/breifilm/4276/ -- Site isn't english)
5) The Code (
http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/forums.asp?s=2&c=16&t=3170)
6) Breaking The Code (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115749/)
That about sums up the list of movies... There's some good stuff in there... Hopefully it'll cover whatever you're looking for (and I know I covered many that were already listed... but if you're going to do something you might as well do it completely)..
Peace,
HT
Thanks to everyone for the ideas. They were very helpful. I had originally thought of something Hollywood, but after looking through some of the non-fiction ideas, I may modifiy the assignment.
I appreciate your input.
Although a little outdated, Sneakers would be a good one since it portrays the true art of social engineering.
What about the movie Operation Takedown, Oh wait can't show that movie to students there is nudity in it. woops sorry. Yeah go with hackers or net. I liked Operation Takedown for several reasons but the main reason is how the hacks were shown.
You can show those types of movies to students... well... as long as they are out of high school.
They watch worse stuff at home... not to mention on the computer.
I guess we should not assume.
(most security classes that I've heard of are college and above)
Heck... I can't find any security related degrees around here as a bachelors... only masters.
wargames is the best till now ... hackers is a realy noob mov ... the matrix is wayyyyy to advance
I would recommend freedom downtime, and sneakers.
FD shows the more political side of hacking, and scoffs pretty hard at takedown (which i thought was alright), and sneakers is just a plain old classic.
Nobody mentioned Jurassic Park???
Everyone always mentons Jurassic Park. For some reaon... I don't remember that movie being a "hacker" movie... Then again... its been YEARS since I've watched it. I'll have to pop that in again...Quote:
jurassic park is a good technology/security movie.
I'd go for hackers.. not only for Angelina but it was way ahead of it's time..
Angelina has an Apple with an Intel cpu :cool:
I would go for;
In the Realm of the Hackers - about Pheonix & Electron - two Australian hackers who were suspected of releasing the Wank Worm the took out NASA in the early 90's good view into the psyche of a teenage hacker.
Freedom Downtime - Mitnick story
.... as they are more doco-movies with real life events as the basis of the storyline.
For the Hollywood take on things
Operation Takedown
War Games
Hackers
.. no one mentioned Enemy of the State ... not really a Hacker movie but from memory bristling with technology.
Well....I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned...I mentioned this before in the Worst Hacker Movie thread...possibly the worst , corniest, movie ever made about computers/hacking/vr...
Lawnmower Man 1 & 2
Eg ;)
Yea enemy of the state was a great movie.
That is true. If I remember correctly, the little girl towards the end knows how to operate the security systems because she's a hacker and has worked with *nix systems. The systems they used were made of Unix mainframes.Quote:
jurassic park is a good technology/security movie.
Oh, and Hackers isn't THAT bad of a movie.. Nor is Wargames. Hackers is more a GUI graphics type thing while Wargames is a more of an out-dated sense of what went on, etc.
ANTITRUST..... i am agreeing with krypto there....... the intro class is giving you one great movie to watch....... you should thank that teacher.
That is a great movie, especially for specificated questions if that is what you really are looking for to make the questions more critical or more of a chanllenge.
Matrix Reloaded,
. . .when Trinity uses nmap to scan for exploitable holes in a system then downloads an exploit and applies it to gain root privileges to the machine. (you have to look close, watch what she types)
you CAN'T leave it there ................... :eek:Quote:
(you have to look close, watch what she types)
I wouldn't want to ruin the next part of the movie for the two people in the world who haven't yet seen it.
The Anarchist Cookbook has some security/hacking in it, although it is a movie i have not seen it yet it, so i couldn't even tell you what it was about. we can all guess what it was about.
although here is a good website to visit www.textfiles.com/directory
textfiles has alot of stuff from the early 70's to late 90's of the old BBS's
