Found some very special “make it look hacky” bash in criminal minds.
That’s some shitty ‘hacking’…
But what makes these shell commands ‘bash’ exactly? Seems like this could be a half-dozen shells.
Also… why are ‘hackers’ always using a shell in some gui program?
I guess I just used bash as deonym for shell. Sry. It was late and I was tired.
Hey no worries, I dunno why I even called that out. Lack of sleep due to back pain and responding to posts at 2am I guess

An actual CLI would frighten the windows users watching the show.
“Scary how hackers are always using DOS prompts isn’t it?”

Yeah everyone knows the real way to hack Linux is to do
tree /Lots of weird looking text output means lots of hacking
Making a new python environment
This guy pythons
I was playing DMC: Devil May Cry (the prequel one) and they used a bunch of mount commands on a screen to show Virgil hacking the network
TBH, on ancient insecure systems that might work.
Not very exciting though
Ah look at the cute little Viewsonic birds on the upper left. :D
/root
root~/../rootroot/ls /root/I’m in!
This guy didn’t LS or LL lol just changed directories 4 times and then…?
Coulda thrown a couple
ls -las around and he woulda been goldenI have bash_alias open in another window so you can see:
ls='ls -alph --group-directories-first --color=always'root='sudo rm -f / \ hunter2'
It makes me happy that I actually understand this stuff now lol
I’m sure there’s a community for nonsense TV/film hacking/Linux screens. I can’t remember what it’s called.
I don’t know if equivalent exists on fediverse, but r/itsaunixsystem is available on $that_other_platform.
Bones shows an “Amiga”, that looks suspiciously like an IBM PC-AT complete with 5.25” floppy playing Doom.
It’s not an Amiga, looks more like an old grubby fvwm or dec osf1 with uuhhh what was that window manager again?
The OP screenshot is from the TV series “Criminal Minds”. My comment is about a TC series “Bones”.
The UI in the OP screenshot looks like an X11 window manager from the mid to late 1990’s.
Ah indeed, I was talking about the screenshot. Sorry about the confusion.
I‘m in.
We’re home
Heresy indeed. The Codex does not support this shell.
lmao
I’ve told the wife I can’t watch these shows because of how bad the tech always is, and I can’t stop myself from losing suspension of disbelief when something like this happens
The only exception is Mr. Robot. Check this command the main character runs as root:
shred -uz /*Only show I’ve seen where they show real commands with really damaging effects.
I remember watching the first episode and he brought up a terminal and thinking “here we go” then…“holy shit… Those are real commands”
That and the explanations I was ready to laugh at for being terrible, then… Wait, no, those actually make sense
And it is also great television. For me personally, the best I’ve ever seen. Whoever reads this and hasn’t seen it already: Do it! And watch it all! Some might think season 2 is a little slow (I still liked it), but season 3 is just incredible.
Yeah, I’ll admit I kind of stalled out in season 2 but I’ve meant to go back and finish… It would be easier if my wife liked that sort of TV 😅 I’ll just have to watch it alone 😭
This still makes me laugh:
That should only shred the top level files in the root directory though. Since shred doesn’t do it recursively and doesn’t know what to do with subdirectories.
Do any distros store system critical files at the root directory? It’s all subdirectories on mine. I guess if you were storing important data files in the root directory they would get shredded but that’s really bad practice anyway and I doubt it’s super common.
I’m curious what this does, I’ll run it when I get home.
I have this vague memory of one of the CSIs showing a list of IP addresses with 4-digit octets… I get not wanting to risk using real IP addresses, but at least use 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x x
Same issue here… Now with the TV serie called “The Equalizer” (2021-*).
OMG, they just got root access!!!
Heresy? In my Linux command line? It’s more likely than you think
“I’m in.”
Viewsonic monitor tho. Nostalgic AF
Just wait until they discover rm, mv, and mkdir!
mkdir /dir cd /dir cd /dir mkdir 2 cd /dir cd /dir/2 cd /dir mv 2 /2 cd /2 mkdir /dir/3 rm -f 3
