Has anyone here seen this flick?  I was kidnapped and forced to at gunpoint recently. Well not really, but if I knew what I was going to see, it would have taken that!  Now to be fair, I was very tired and was half asleep when I was watching it so take what I say  in that light.  Any one here that watched, please correct me if I am wrong.

Was it true that the “hacker” had high jacked thousands of boxes in Russia?  The FBI could not stop him because every time they black holed his high jacked computer another one of his would connect to the DNS server?   Is that it?  Did I miss something?  I must have.  First of all, so what if he had 1000 or more boxes, just keep black holing them if need be. So what if it took a few days. In the movie, the FBI agent gave up after about 2 tries I think. Why not take out the first and secondary DNS servers if you actually had the power to black hole?  That should do it.  Where these servers or normal home boxes he high jacked?  Can’t remember.  There is no way a home machine could host thousands upon thousands of connections with live streaming video.  No way he could have really owned that many high speed servers even in a 3rd world country.  Oh well, just another movie stereotyping hackers as evil I guess. Again, please correct me if I missed something.

Untraceable?  That's 2 hours of my life that I'll never get back.

Just couse his acting was kinda wooden doesn't mean that there is no hope for him. Hope that your movie is better than kev's.

dont know about you but i aint paying to watch dudes stare at a screen for 16 hours to maybe see EIP=41414141...whoooo hooooo

i agree i like the "crappy" hacker flicks.

Hackers is a classic.  That is the one thing my girlfriend and I can agree on, we both love the movie and watch it together once a year or so.    I actually won a rather sweet backpack at a security conference last year for my geeky knowledge of all things from that film.  I think it peeved off some people when I raised my hand every single time they asked a question related to that movie.    It was a game of questions regarding hacking movies.  So they had a few from Matrix, Wargames, Firewall, Hackers, Sneakers, and a couple others.  I dominated the Hackers movie questions though.   For the Matrix, they asked what the exploit was that Trinity used to gain root access.  Was pretty fun.

Entertainment is my main requirement for a film to be 'great'.  Probably why Army of Darkness is my all time favorite film.  Cheezy... unrealistic.. but damn it's awesome.

aw, that's just what we call pillow talk, baby
