Ok. I'm contemplating (since I was asked by a student) playing a movie (fictional) or video (non-fictional) during my intro class' wargames. The fictional stuff would be things like Wargames, Hackers, Swordfish, etc. and I was contemplating the H2K2 complete VCD set for the video. I'm looking for more suggestions. I'd like to keep it related (the students have been warned about Hollywood's view on "hackers" but it would make it fun).
SO.. any suggestions from the peanut and popcorn gallery? :D
Hi MsMittens,
The only hacking I do...is first thing in the morning before I light up...but these might interest you...

Hacking with Ramzi! ;)
MsMittens I have a SQL injection video from Microsoft its a 9.48MB wmv file and 8.89MB rar'ed up. It starts off by showing you attacks common mistakes yada yada ill happily share :) oh and its on for 65 minutes
DVDs and VHS tapes I own:
Code Hunter - May want to try this one, it's AWESOME
Hackers
Wargames
Revolution OS
Freedom Downtime
Anti - Trust
The Net
The Matrix ;)
House on Haunted Hill - "I don't know how you hacked my computer and changed the guest list"
Operation Takedown
Jurassic Park
I know I have more.....
Anyway there is a start.
Hey Hey,
I think that the biggest ones have already been covered.
Hackers -- Classic movie... good look into 'techno-culture of the early 90s' but that's about it... no realism...
Operation Takedown (Unofficially Hackers 2) -- Never legally released in North America (at least it hadn't been last time I heard) but an amazing movie none-the-less.... it's also decently realistic since it's actually based on fact (in some form or another)...
Code Hunter -- I really enjoyed this movie.... We rented it out of pure boredom one night because it looked interesting in the video store... The story-line was interesting and somewhat believable.
Wargames -- The original... nothing more needs to be said about this...
Anti-Trust -- I really liked this one because it poked fun @ Microsoft but it wasn't really a wargames hackerish type movie... at least for the most part.. but it was definately computer focused.
Pirates of Silicon Valley -- Made for TV... again not hackerish but definately good for a technology point of view... MS VS Apple...
Swordfish was another good one... you get a lot of Hollywood movie magic in that one..
A few things that I'd look into are the Videos that comes on the DVD with Hacking Exposed: NSS and from the Hollywood side.. Sneakers... I'm actually really surpised that it wasn't mentioned here. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105435/. It's the ultimate in hacker/crypto movies... Definately very interesting.
Another not hackerish movie... but definately classic computer geek is Weird Science..
My professor showed us Terminated 2 for Security Class... He wanted to show the whole thing but couldn't get the copyright to do so, they would only let us have a 10 minute segment... so he showed the section where they broke into Cyberdyne (I'm sure I spelled that wrong).... and used it to demonstrate types of physical security.
If you want more realistic type stuff...
There was a documentary in 2001 called Hackers that was intersting...
The Hippies from Hell (HFH) have an interesting video @ http://hippies.waag.org/project.php
Anyways..
Peace,
HT
MsM, Do you already have the h2k2 videos? I saw it was $200 for the complete set...
I've downloaded all the audio to listen to in the car. Most of them are decent.
How is the video? Is it worth the $200?
Should I just go find a .torrent link?
Haven't yet. But if the audio is decent it might be worthwhile for the class. ;)Quote:

You can get access to the audio portion just like the they put their radio shows.
There is a link to it on the main www.2600.com page.
I used winhttrack to copy. I excluded the .m3u files, as they just stream. I just downloaed the site and .mp3 files. The mp3 files are about 450mb all together for the ~79 hours of audio. There are 78 files all together. If you burn each to a CD for normal playback... then you're looking at 78 CDs. If you keep in mp3 format, they'll all fit on one CD.
Some of the lectures are easy to follow with just the audio.
However, some have a lot of visual that will be harder to follow. I was listening to the as400 presentation in the car. Since I work with an as400, it is easy to follow. If you've never worked with one, then it could be a lot harder to imagine it.
I was "nice" to their server and downloaded one link at a time and capped my download at 25KB/s.
I set it before I went to bed and had it when I woke up.
Why not use the good old nmap pr0n video. I cant think of the name and Im to lazy to dig for a link right now but it was posted before. :) :) :)
Ah yes... the nmap haXXXor clip.Quote:

Not something that would be appropriate for school... even if it is college.
Though... a n00b would learn something... ;)
MsM, just reference that one.
You'll see all the guys in the class all huddled around one monitor.
Though its not really a security movie... I do like the warriors of the net animation.
Its pretty cool to see a visual of just how the "intranet/internet" works.
Even if the animation is't 100% on track.

Don't forget Irongeek's video tutorials.

I watched the warriors of the net. While i didnt learn anything new and exiting I thought I was an awsome animation and would be a great thing to show to people who wonder how it all works but dont want to invest the time to study it

There's a neat set of videos there ...
Let me see… Hope it's not too much late for a Movie tip...
Movies with which hacking had been shown cool enough that I really watch it over and over were the following (which were not mentioned yet):
1. The Score – when the geek pal of De Niro tried to break through the server of a Security firm. He’s been warned by the Good Guys and the geek never got in. After that negotiations took place (it’s all about money).
2. The Recruit – CIA?!? The training ground where a geek guy who supposedly will be hired by some BIG computer company (?) had been recruited by the CIA and went on training. Another recruit had shown off her ubergeek talent. Wireless stuffs and Remote servers were being emphasized here. Even shows some way of physically hiding your pen drive (USB Device).
3. Italian Job – I liked the character of Green here. The ORIGINAL “NAPSTER” – LoLz. Been penetrating the L.A. Traffic Command Center (sort of). Even mentioned in the film about an annual competition open to all HACKERS who could break the security system of a top SECURITY CO. Too much HACKING here, VAULTS, EXPLOSIVES, GETAWAYS, TRUST. Too CooL.
4. Enemy of the State – Hacking a Mobile Network to sneak on the Politician’s mobile. Lots of surveillance and hacking here too, lots of it.
5. Art of War – Wireless hacking. The best advice is always shutdown your laptop or lock it, I mean LOCK IT!
6. Mission Impossible – Hacking the NOC list. Never use “disavowed” or any related word in your work (i.e. names, familiar words) in your USER and PW.
Definitely Matrix (trilogy) is the all-time kicker!
At the end, all this hacking (although it looks cool in the movies) specifically with the intent of something like intrusion, invasion of privacy, search and destroy, “and” without permission is BAD BAD BAD! But like you said MsM, still it is fun… and promoting awareness through education is the best.
Enjoy the Movies!
Yo!
Old thread... besides the matrix sucked donkey balls. And all it ever had was a very not noticable scene with nmap without the naked chicks... oh and then there was some funny graphics with all that none emotional, very robotic acting from each main character. MsM, how old are these guys? I mean, I know that I for one am old enought to look back on how much movies like these keep ruining the internet more and more each and every time. :1pokeeye1
These guys are in their late teens/early twenties. It's just more for background noise and such. They are well aware of my views of Hollywood "hacks" and view it more for giggles than seriousness (although I wanted to get the 2600 ones for a more serious point of view... perhaps as class material for a summer course I'm creating... )
MsMittens if you have an ftp server some where ill upload that SQL injection video. It really isnt that bad ;)
