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.
haha this was really funny and smart
pretty good man but u 4got to talk about the one thing where u fight off 10 people at the same time haha
haha, yah that’s a good one.
Yo dave, this is a sweet Melna-site. Good work. Stay high pimping
Yii
EPIC!
I am going to Blend this into my Presentation I got tomorrow about Malware and how hackers work at a LAN-Party. Those guys wont get the joke. But Ill be Laughing my ass off ^^
Thanks
Haha that’s awesome.
np!
ROFLMAO !!
gr8 one !! I watched Swordfish and then came to know how stupid movie makers can get…
Nice effort dude
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.
How can u 4get da MATRIX???
You forgot l33t sp34k

also can you tell me how to connect internet in backtrack through mobile modem, i’m using motorokr e6 with bsnl connection, if u are from india u’ll know BSNL
Sure there is, there is software that will crack it.
Keshav, I don’t know of any “specific” courses/books for backtrack, but you can find lots of information on video sites like youtube.com. Not sure about the mobile modem.. i bet someone on http://forums.remote-exploit.org will help you out.
hehehe .. you are damn right dude ,,
dude thats really great article.
I think that hollywood should stop sensationalizing
hackers.
how do i get these hacking books as am in Nigeria?
you can’t purchase from Amazon?
THe only one missing was that the progress bar would say exactly what your doing like above the progress bar would be written “Hacking into FBI central data base 52% complete”
Awesome Post!
is there any way to hack e mail accounts!!
i mean any softwares made for it!
if so plz do a reply about it
wilson, phishing pages and malware are the easiest ways.
how does a malware be useful in hacking an email account ??
@febin well if you infect someone with malware.. then you can pretty much get any password they type into their computer.
Hello David,
I read your book these days, when i started reading the book it tooks me 6 hours to read , last night i was reading until 5 pm because it was so interesting and I could not stop reading. I am studying Information Security can you recommend me another good book for Hacking or Computer Security.
Best regards,
Gazmend
@gazi, sure check out Counter Hack Reloaded.. search it in amazon.
Haha. This is great post. I am going to post this on my site, and give credit to you. (if don’t want it, e-mail me back)
@james, awesome. post a link back if you wish.
I really don’t understand that how can I do this, but I just stumbled through google and want to understand this, will you mail me please with more details? pls
@usi, this article is just a joke.. its not really hacking.. just making fun of how movies portray it.
hey dude,
loved your book,love your site
you forgot the going trough the etherlink cable and out of the other computer, that’s always on
Each time i see this movies its so funny, but dont leave out CSI and all this tv series hahahaha. Good article man beatifull way to put it.
Thanks
U r a lifesaver dude. Cool stuff keep it up!!
Ha! Yes those are very irritating aspects of hackers in movies, but regular hacking is very hard to make compelling to watch for your average audience. I like to compare it to using a defibrillator to bring a flat line patient back from the dead. The function is even in the name DE-fibrillator for fixing ventricular fibrillation.
It would be nice to see how much more is done through social engineering as opposed to “rerouting the encryption through a Canadian firewall.”
I take issue with your premise that “…attempts [are] made by hollywood to try and portray hacker’s realisticly in their movies…”.
In fact, I see no evidence that Hollywood attempts a realistic portrayal.
Yeah, and when you hack someone else’s computer, the graphical interface fades from the screen.
@Felipe, haha so true.
@Lee, well they make some attempt but fail miserably.. you know they attempt to when you see real hacker programs appear in movies..
hahahaha genau so ist es Booom und reingehackt xD weiter so
Hey You Should Also Talking About Metasploit And Exploit That Can do Everything You Haven’t Think And also Hacking Into UNIX systems I Have Read About Cisco Firewall what is This Can We break It Please Mail Me At salmankhan.khan8@gmail.com With some Metasploit reverse ayload Command Thanks In Advance David
I like it when they have random html all over the place though! At least its closer to the real thing than a big Padlock on the screen that you code up a key for and insert it in to break into things.
@Salman, yup good topics.
Very nice, BUT Whenever the guy is about to complete 99.9% or something; his MOM or GF shut his computer down!
Sir,
Have u read digital fortress by dan brown ?
And most of these filmy hackers will wear a headphone without any reasons and would hack without any programming!!!!!
I just love this one, it’s the best yet. In the movies they rob banks by driving minis through the sewers. James Bond as a car that turns into a helicopter, and Spider-man swings from skyscrapers. It’s entertainment, hacking is not cool, it’s just plain old boring. Learn a programming language for a start I am sure that before you finish that exercises you will have decided it’s not like the movies. If you really want to do it though and have the patience good luck.I’ve refereed a good hacking site which speaks about only hacking. i.e.Learn Hacking
It is, obviously, a nice article. I liked. Can you please write something about “How different languages like HTML, PHP are important to learn for a Hacker ?” and how these languages contribute in a Hacker’s jobs. I wanna this article, plz help !!
Thanking you … and Have a Nice Day all !!
Or just use http://hackertyper.net/ ROFL.
You need a monitor that projects the code onto your face so that everyone in the vicinity knows you’re working on code.
Hahaha! You got a nice list there! I always wonder why do they portray hackers like that can’t they interview someone who at least knows how hacking really is. But well maybe if they do it would become very boring movie.
You forgot to say that we have to run CLIs on all monitors and the foreground should be green and the background color should always be black
