Huuugo25207y90% of hacker scenes are absolute bullshit. Only rarely seen actually real desktops with a terminal or even nmap running in them. Most of the time they show some Photoshop made up GUI or an editor with some HTML boilerplate

@Huuugo @aravindio yeah, it depends on the show, or movie. CSI has a famous scene... https://youtu.be/hkDD03yeLnU
But I've seen actual Bash and sudo prompts on the hacker scenes in House of Cards.
Even the 3D filemanager in Jurassic Park was a real thing in the 90s. https://youtu.be/dxIPcbmo1_U -
cosme1877y@MechAnimals Also I heard that they put a lot of effort in the scenes in Mr. Robot that shows any terminal and stuff like that.

Whenever I see a programmer or hacker coding in a movie, I pause the movie and see if I can understand what the code is trying to do. If I can't understand it, I feel sad the rest of the day thinking I'm not a good enough programmer.
