Random thoughts for a Friday...
Authored by: Russ R. on May 16, '03 10:04:10PM

Another thumb up for The Matrix Reloaded. I will also be going a second time - just to try and figure out some of the techno-babble. Geez - at least I understand most of the stuff on this site...

Wasn't that a Unix prompt where Trinity entered the commands to shut down the power grids?

Not only was it a unix prompt, but it was a real hacker tool, too! Nmap, that is. The sshnuke program wasn't real, but what it did was also possible, the SSHv1-CRC32 exploit was discovered, IIRC, in 2001, and patches were made available. There are 2 exploits for it out there, but neither is called sshnuke and both just dump you into the root shell rather than resetting the password, which is what the sshnuke program did (and it reset it to Z1ON0101). Of course, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I did see this article about it, and saw screenshots from the nmap website. Very cool, eh? Now I just gotta go watch that darn movie!

It was a UNIX prompt. It was actually a very realistic hack she used. Read this slashdot article about it or go to Nmap's home page
