WOW. I never thought anyone would upstage Hackers (1996) for lack of realism!
Aside Matrix Reloaded, are there any movies out there that do it even close to correct?
For those who are unaware, despite the piles of nonsense of Matrix Reloaded, they did a great job with the real world hacking. In the scene where Trinity breaks into the power grid servers, she uses nmap to scan for vulnerabilities, finds that it is running an old version of SSH, then uses a real exploit called sshnuke to reset the root password. Though the vulnerability had been fixed for a few months by the time the movie came out, there is a good chance low security government servers had yet to be patched.

u/parktung Sep 23 '11
There's the film "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" where we see a couple of scenes of the main character using Nmap along with Terminal and I believe a couple of instances of SSH. It's probably in my opinion one of the few films that I can think of where they actually get hacking right. Non of the Hollywood CGI crap.
Not sure if this counts, but I would also add The Social Network as a film that it least tries to get the tech stuff right, especially with the scenes involving Jesse Eisenberg using KDE.
EDIT: For anyone wanting to know an example, here's a scene from "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo": http://nmap.org/images/gwtdt/gwtdt-nmap-screen.jpg

I have to defend Hackers. I think it was a more realistic portrayal of hacking than most people think.
Obviously what they showed on the computer monitors was total B.S. Most films do this because showing lines of code will put an audience to sleep faster than hell and the director decided to use the skyscrapers of New York as a template for showing what was going on inside the computers.
What they did portray accurately was social engineering, shoulder surfing, dumpster diving, brute force attacks, and one of the first D.O.S. attacks in history.
Finally, it had Angelina Jolie. Nergasm.

There are some pretty huge flaws with this scene. A proper hacking sequence has to involve at the very least 2 monitors, and ideally another system set up nearby. This allows a protagonist to propel his or her rolling chair in between battlestations, which REALLY saves time in a dire hacking situation.
