Nmap Featured in The Matrix Reloaded

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the ain't-that-special dept.

rajiv was among dozens to report that unlike most "Hacks" in film, The Matrix reloaded actually has an ounce of reality where other films would rely on fancy 3D graphics. You can see more at Insecure.org where they have screenshots. It's only on screen for a split second, but Tritnity uses Nmap to find a vulnerable SSH server, and then exploits it using the SSH1 CRC32 exploit from 2001.

    Is there anything morally wrong with downloading an esoteric release of Reloaded online? I went to the movies, paid my money, contributing to the $44 billion or so profit of Warner Brothers. I don't feel guilty downloading a crappy quality VCD to notice all the details and things I missed. (But I did notice the terminal with ssh and nmap on it).

    Nothing wrong at all.

    ...who's always talking during the movie. Hey, do you have a cell phone too? And a beeper? Maybe a crying child or two?


    All of this managed to make my Matrix experience just that much harder to enjoy.
