Matrix Sequel Has Hacker Cred
from the in-a-Hollywood-production?--who-knew-it-was-possible? dept
Techies seem to enjoy poking fun at various movies that try to show hackers at work - since they always get something (and often everything) wrong in a terrible Hollywood attempt to show hacking to a general audience. So, imagine their surprise to find out that some hacking scenes in the Matrix sequel (no, I still haven't seen it) seems to show real hacking tools being used properly. Considering the Wachowski brothers' attention to detail, I guess it's not that surprising.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

No Subject Given
as in something credible is believable or plausible, so whereas most movies hacking scenes are implausible or unbelievable, this one uses real (believeable) hacking techniques/tools, which give the film credibility with hackers. hacker cred. whee!
