Hah, had to google it to realize it was a reference to "script kiddies" (wannabe hackers).  Anyone else who googles it, "skiddies" also has another definition listed for it in the Urban Dictionary but I don't think the two are related. :D

Quote from:  the article above
"All of this had been done within 30-40 minutes. Could of been faster if I didn't stop to laugh so much." ...

 :D

I loved "Hackers" too but after being in the IT community for years, you see how ridiculous the "hacking" part of movies are.  Some of the stuff is sort of legit, like Trinity hacking in Matrix 2 and some of the stuff in Live Free or Die Hard, but the speed at which it is accomplished is pure BS.  Speaking of Die Hard, my wallpaper right now is a screen cap from the movie showing Justin Long's character using nmap to do SYN Stealth port scans on a couple IP Address looking for ports open for SSH (22TCP), web servers (80TCP), and DNS servers (53TCP).

You can see where other movies have used nmap at nmap's own site.

http://nmap.org/movies.html

Very true. As is the case with most fiction portraying certain real-life or would be imagined as real-life scenarios.

And I thought of the back to the future movies (particularly the first one) when you said that above. ^

It's funny watching those movies now, but I really love them, so heh.  ;D

I remember hearing about Hackers 2.

Yeah Hmed,, those were cool movies if you can forget the laws of physics ( the law of the concervation of energy, etc.)

I keep my standards low.

There is a huge misconception that there was a Hackers, Hackers 2, and Hackers 3.  It comes about because when someone asks about decent hacker movies, the ones usually mentioned are Hackers, Takedown, and Antitrust.

Takedown is a pseudo-true story about Kevin Mitnick, who wasn't really a hacker but rather a social engineer.  I'm sure most people here have heard of him.  My supervisor at work met him one time somewhere and said the guy is a sociopath.
