Moin Moin DD Listers, Tonight on CBS the TV show 'Scorpion' premieres. I figured the list might be interested in a TV show that is less CSI bogus "hacking" sequences and actual _real_ exploit scenarios (as best as Hollywood could stomach). The guy the show is based on, Walter O'Brien, actually was involved in catching the Boston Marathon bombers, so the stories are loosely based on that event and other terrorist cases he worked on or were planned attacks. He's a good guy doing the grunt technical computer science / artificial intelligence work behind the scenes :)
You might see: Immunity Silica, Kali / Backtrack, Linux, fierce.pl, metasploit, netcat, etherape, Burp Suite, nmap, Shodan, aircrack, Tor, Iceweasel, WebSecurify, and ~20 tools in total on the show! Most of the scenes content was generated on Kali using real tools in simulated environments. You can see a good close-up at 2m03s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU_hJscvdXU#t=2m3s More details below on the show and Walter O'Brien: http://www.cnet.com/news/the-origin-of-scorpion-the-real-world-story-behind-cbss-new-drama/ *** Disclaimer: I was an advisor / creator for many of the hacking sequences you will see on the computer screens. -- Regards, Kristian Erik Hermansen https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristianhermansen https://google.com/+KristianHermansen _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list [email protected] https://lists.immunityinc.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
