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.

    The date in the real world, actually, is not 2199. Its closer to 2499. Morpheus mistakenly believed it to be closer to 2199 because he thought it was a century since the first One released people and started Zion. The Architect, however, has revealed that this is actually the 5th or 6th Zion.

    hmm. yah, now that you mention it, I believe the hacking did take place in the matrix, so would simulate the infastructure of the present day, but she was hacking into a 'core network' outside the matrix (controlling matrix-external security systems) wasn't she? I duno. I guess I'll have ot go see the movie again and re-confirm.
