How to hack like in the movies
We’ve all seen the ridiculous attempts made by hollywood to try and portray hacker’s realisticly in their movies. And as I’m sure all of you have concluded, they absolutely….FAIL. For those of you who havn’t seen any, follow this link to see a full list of movies. Some of these will be totally absurd to those of you who know hacking while others will be somewhat realistic.
1. Get lots of computer screens and stack them up to create a sort of shell around you. What you would use them for, I don’t know, but you need them.
2. Type at ridiculous speeds, pressing multiple keys at the same time, and take a while at that same speed to type up short few lettered words.
3. Never use your mouse. Do all your hacking via the keyboard. Once you have gotten through all the “firewalls” and other junk, pause, pick up your pointer finger and slowly drop it on the <ENTER> key, sit back and…
4. Watch the giant progress bar slowly reach 100% and flash COMPLETED or HACKED to mark the completion of your hacking job.
5. You must be able to break into any computer or government server in ten minutes.
6. The one password you can’t easily get through is going to be the victims birthday or daughters name. You must guess it, and get it correct the second or third attempt.
7. You must create and send a virus that will flash “VIRUS” on the victims server and cause the servers to have mini explosions.
8. Always talk about “firewalls” and “modifying a certain code”.
9. During the hacking process, at some point, you must have random 1′s and 0′s scrolling down your whole screen, or instead of the 1′s and 0′s have random HTML code streaming down your whole screen because you can hack via HTML… right?
If you can think of some more, TELL ME!, so I can add ‘em in.

ah, and don’t forget that in the movies after “access granted” phase, there is always a 3D world where 0′s an 1′s are floating around
oh boy, how could I have left out floating code.. I’m going to add that right now hah.
hello dear
do you know how to stop or make hang cyber cafe timer?
if i closed by another way, they can see on server which one doesnt working.
so i looking to make hang , pause or change the time
i hope u can give any idea
hope comment or blog
All I can think of besides getting access to the admin panel and extending your time is to use a program such as Cheat Engine to examine the programs process and lock the time value so it doesn’t change.
I tried this, and it worked! I’m in Obama’s personal computer system! All I can find is big booty porn.
Well, all I can say for what you’ve written over here is that, the things shown on these movies can surely be possible……
What most people see is some geeks just press a few strokes on keyboard and hack into the system, but its just one side of the coin, if they were to do this in real life, they would have to prepare some database of access codes to these sites and when in need, just have to use it to access whatever they want. All it needs is to be dormant till you really need to use the codes, coz when you’ll use it, the other person might change it, so in this way, the movie scenes can be compared to the real life…….
Previously I thought that showing off is the only purpose of the Hackers, but the more you go deep into it, the more you come to know that the hackers usually maintain a “Code of Silence” for whatever they’ve done, and don’t tell anyone what they are upto, so this is the only glitch that all movies possess, they use hackers for show off but in real life, a hacker may pretend that he don’t even know a word about computer……
For the multiple monitors, all I can say is, The more you have, the more you gonna want for more……
No matter how many monitors surrounds you, you’ll still need more…..
Good point, if you prepare and have the exploit and process ready to go, then you can take over a system in ten minutes.
U forgot that giant servers are ALWAYS refered to as “Mainframes”
Haha yah, that word really annoys me.
Just like anything in the movies they have to make it bigger than what it really is, To keep you on your toes. One thing is they always have an so called advisor/expert that they get to help make these movies look real. You got to wonder what the hell they’re thinking. About the monitors, I can’t live without 2. Now the wall is a little extreme. You know you need alot of them when you control the world at your finger tips,Ha!
Yah, once you get two, you don’t even know how you survived with one! lol
I actually loled, thats very good, great post
Also, one way of stopping the web cafe timer is buy enabaling task manager via cmd (which would normally be disabled) and the stop the times that your internet cafe uses
Don’t forget encryption. There’s always someone there that can break the latest encryption scheme in 10 minutes,…typing fast at the keyboard!
haha, you’re right.
your site is one of the best. i have to get your book.
thanks. yah, you’ll like it
.
yeah, and you got one of the best phishing tutorials.

Live Free or Die Hard is a good example of all of this.
Don’t forget hackers can make a bomb out of your computer!
So far I am loving the site! Some funny and informative posts! This had me laughing at work lol. You forgot one crucial detail though. After the enter key is pressed, they will yell “I’m in!” or “We’re in!” Depending on the size of the team (only if they aren’t cool enough to do it single-handedly).
Haha! good point.

if so plz do a reply about it
wilson, phishing pages and malware are the easiest ways.

@febin well if you infect someone with malware.. then you can pretty much get any password they type into their computer.
