I've seen so many ridiculous "hacking" sequences in films that I really wasn't expecting this series to go into as much realistic detail as they do. Also most hacking stuff in films is at its worst when it comes to the dialogue which somehow always has to have something to do with shutting down a "mainframe". But this series does a great job both from a tech and dialogue perspective. There's even a scene where the ma…
Do check it out.
Otherwise: great show getting so much stuff right without boring the hell out of people who don't recognise what's on the screens. That's special. I love it.
Actually, I'm pretty sure a lot of security professionals don't use Kali Linux because 1) they only need a subset of the pentest tools, 2) many companies' internal monitoring systems trigger alerts if they detect someone is using Kali Linux/BT (via OS fingerprinting). This is only my anecdotal experience though - thoughts?
One thing that bugged me: why is he using DVD-Rs? I (almost) haven't used such ancient technology in years. Many modern computers don't even have DVD drivers. And then with hand-written labels on then. WTF? Those can be found and read(!) by laymen. No way! He should just have a few (encrypted) externel HDDs or use cloud storage or something.

Actually, he uses a software called DeepSound to encrypt the data as audio files (music), the hand-written labels are album/artist/band names of the audio files.

There's even a scene where the main character and the CTO of another corp (trying not to spoil anything), have a conversation about gnome vs. kde. Haven't watched the show, but this reminded me of that awful line from The Internship , a film I was baited into watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpdngXQOkBI
1. Interns worried about jobs after internship at GOOGLE 2. Google has live support chat. HA-HA-HA.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I feel sorry for the lead character and he obviously has problems, but the wannabe CTO of EvilCorp reminds me more of Dexter. This is the first TV show I've enjoyed enough to schedule for it in a long time but that character (Tyrell Wellick[1]) is a bit too dark for comfort.

There's also some Macbeth and Hamlet going on here.
