Why not just make 255.255.255.255 louder?

Re: What's your favorite hacker movie?

256.256.256.256 because it is like broadcast, but louder.
(Paraphrased from the Spinal Tap movie.)

Another classic!

Yep. I spent a little time trying to track down some of the other threads on this, but only managed to find a thread on the worst hacker movies.

The only winning move is not to post.

So, your vote is for War Games?

How about a game of 'Favorite IP Addresses'?

I like 127.0.0.1. No place like localhost

Re: What's your favorite hacker movie?

I hate to be the one guy who lists this, but Hackers is up there with me.
simply because in the face of all the "movie hacking" the one thing that was pegged right on was the hacker mentality.
Just my 2 cents.

Takedown?

Spaceballs? (Is this a way to refer to your real guess?)

Re: What's your favorite hacker movie?

I've always liked Brazil, Robert DeNiro as a rogue HVAC tech was always funny.

Sneakers and Wargames are two of my favorites, but I'm surprised that no one has brought up the greatest hacker flick of all time..

Do I dare speak it's name here?

Takedown?

Re: What's your favorite hacker movie?

Colossus: The Forbin Project
2001 A Space Odyssey
Doctor StrangeLove
Brazil (even though people seem to hate it)

Technology run a muck theme going here

Any Bond movie, though the character Q is there for comic relief(more so as the series progressed) he is no doubt a hacker.

All the ones to be mentioned and mentioned above.

Demon Seed being one of my favorites just because it's so ridiculous. (home automation run a muck)

Re: What's your favorite hacker movie?

How about commentary about some of the best social engineering / information reconnaissance in a film? My personal "off the top of my head" list would include...

Sneakers
Catch Me If You Can
Lucky Number Slevin
Ronin
Equilibrium
Jason Bourne trilogy
Ocean's Eleven
heh... and the beginning montage of Wedding Crashers

Re: What's your favorite hacker movie?

I always thought that Wargames best captured the true mentality of a hacker. One of curiosity and a desire to learn. I also like the scenes where David is doing research on the man behind the system, trying to find a backdoor. That was a lot better presentation of hacking technique than a bunch of random formulas and symbols flying across a screen as some chumps sits behind an 8 inch monitor with sunglasses on in a pitch dark room.

This is why WarGames is hands down my favorite hacker movie. To bad you killed our credibility when you said Antitrust was pretty good

Re: What's your favorite hacker movie?

I have never seen Wargames as old as it is. I have been told to check it out, but I get to lazy to download the movie. For the topic though, I would have to say "Antitrust" was one of my favorite hacker movies. The reasoning being that it really did have a good plot. Landing a dream job in a company developing software, but finding out there is more to the company then you think.
