We have all seen many movies like Hackers which pass off ridiculous 3D animated eye-candy scenes as hacking. So I was shocked to find that Trinity does it properly in The Matrix Reloaded. She whips out Nmap version 2.54BETA25, uses it to find a vulnerable SSH server, and then proceeds to exploit it using the SSH1 CRC32 exploit from 2001. Shame on them for being vulnerable (timing notes).
Too long, and the 15 minute dance number in the middle of the movie threw me a curve. A decent editing job(cut approx 40 minutes) would have helped tremendously. At least we know the direction 3 will take(Watch the 13th floor if you're curious).
I watched the movie(twice) yesterday and I agree with williamwbishop.
The movie is not the greatest and it also does not live up to its expectations.
I am a bit disappointed but the action scenes were great.Haven't seen as good a car chase since Terminator II -Judgement Day.
As for the ssh server,I wonder how many of the movie watchers knew what that was?
And the two systems- sounds funny.I wonder how they coexists.
The worst part of the movie is the ending
To be concluded...
That means everyone has to watch the last part.
