Anybody watching "Mr. Robot"?

Post #403,427 by drook 7/14/15 8:24:14 PM Reply	Anybody watching "Mr. Robot"? Computer security guy is approached by a shadowy hacker group asking him to be the inside man in a plot to overthrow the global financial system. Somebody finally got a decent consultant and listened to him. References to Anonymous, IRC, Linux (including Gnome and KDE), security protocols ... everything seemed roughly right to me. Even the scene where he phishes someone and plugs the info into his password cracker seemed reasonable. Surprisingly good. And surprisingly risqué for basic cable. -- Drew

Other than that, well done so far. I occasionally pause and explain bits to M and then they do as well.
