Ah yes. To stop a hacker you need the power of...double hacking!

I was looking for this comment. You find that damned Ip address with your GUI, and your fancy non-sequiturs.

I raise you the episode of "Bones"where a man inscribed bone with a virus code thats scanned into the pc via holographic 3d scanner

Glad to see I'm not the only other person who is highlighting that shows bullshit. The hacker bad guy was so fucking awful.

I've seen students doing it. Obviously not simultaneously, but typing in alternately on the same computer. They were going fast

Of course it works, split screen games had it decades a go. And there are like millions of open screens in there

Sure! One to type the letters and symbols, another to handle numbers and arrow keys! Just like 2 player on dos games!

Aahh you've aged me. Good ole DOS games. I still remember getting arrested in Leisure Suit Larry 1 for not typing "zip up my pants".

Just..uh...unplug the ethernet cable? Or, hm, idk, press the power button on the pc. Hack over.
TheDarkNerd
Or, like that guy did in this gif, unplug the monitor power.
accountjustforcommenting
If this is serious, its not really correct. If you got ransomware on your pc unplugging the ethernet isn't going to do shit.
Well, it will air gap it if its an active attack. Then you can attempt recovery or destroy the drives to prevent it spreading on the network
Yes but there's many more steps, both preventative and recovery, then just unplug the ethernet and you're safe.
It can also be a mistake to shutdown your pc. There was one variant of ransomware with keys still in the ram, unless you shutdown
In the example of this post, it was ridiculous of course, but it sounds like the firewall rules were incorrect if a "port scan" is an issue
Especially if you're dealing with servers with critical public facing services. Can't just unplug it, that would defeat the point.
z4zen
Oh yeah. In IT security, and never seen a hack like this in 15 years. The only time you know you been hacked, is about a month...
FlyingButtPliers
SQL Slammer you knew exactly what happened. Pulling the plug worked. If anyone remembers that.

EternalBlue worked the same way and people other than boomers remember that.

That one public share folder some bullshit program made you set full permissions to "everyone" can't be accessed by some user and all the 1

Closest you come is a DDoS
later when they dump your info on the interwebs. ASSUME BREACH! Change your fucking password, and make it a passphrase.
BunnyBooBear69
Oh you mean a month later when all of a sudden every file is encrypted and renamed with the exact same extension, like *.[BiG-CoCkzz] ?
ThisIsJustAPreview
Correct horse battery staple!
RationalViking
Good tips. "Passphrase" changed my way of remembering passwords ever since I heard it
suddennr1
Passphrase is good but you still different ones for different places. Even better is a password manager and easier to use.
I figured out a system involving my age, what year it currently is, what it is for, and which language makes most sense (as I'm bilingual)
So I never have the same password, but I kinda still do, because it's all follows the same system.

An extra character adds much more complexity to a password instead of random gibberish, if it takes a day to brute force a single character
Might as well take 60 days instead of 12 if any and all characters cam be brute forced

MVEMJSUNP for My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Popsicles. Add numbers and symbols, vary the case, and you're golden.
Sadly no more popsicles, though
That seems more like the original system's weakness without the strength of the passphrase system

So using a 8 character pw with special chars, numbers, etc is stupid. So: RealisticallyThisPasswordIsMuchHarderToGuessInABruteForceAttack.

In Gaius's defense, he was trying to erase falsified footage of himself entering the Caprica Defense Mainframe building.
I'm quite sure they were intentionally spoofing "hacker scenes" in TV shows and movies. Notice how the boss just just unplugs the thing.

I remember somebody claiming to be "in the industry" made a similar comment. It's just kind of a game to see how ridiculous you can be.
KoRplussomeletters
Someone defeats a firewall... in VR, for some reason... and gets a message "You are now committing a felony"
I remember in another episode he shoots the computer and says "game over" or some shit so I'm thinking it's intentional.

Compare to doing the same thing with driving a car, another common piece of technology. They're in hot persuit, and not just 1/
getting the car to drive twice as fast by two people pulling randomly at the wheel (that's the least of the cringe in this clip), but 2/
meanwhile shouting postulates of how words vaguely related to cars in general are causing things that don't make sense or break physics. 3/
Then they get the car to fly off by shouting car-related words and pulling the wheel randomly, butt really fast. It's a 4-year old's 4/
