And here we see an expert hacker at work, with just a few commands as a root user, they managed to gain root access.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Shoutout whatever the fuck this de is, is it lxqt?
Ah look at the cute little Viewsonic birds on the upper left. :D
How is changing directories “hacking”???
Who said it was?
You did
Where?
Where the fuck do you think?
I don't know. Tell me.
Well according to you changing directories is “pro Linux hacking”.
But yes let’s keep pretending it’s a big mystery.
Well, since obviously no one ever has, let me introduce you to the concept of "sarcasm", which everyone else here understood. Just keep getting angry for no reason.
So angry grrrr. Good luck with your hacking
If you ever need help with language concepts, just ask ChatGPT. It has some good definitions and examples for you. This will help you in a language based environment like Lemmy. 👍
Just keep changing directories and the mainframe will be confused and overwhelmed and tHeN ThE SyStEm cOlLaPsEs, MaN!!!
Congratulations! I see you know how to change directories. That's quite a breakthrough.
I was playing DMC: Devil May Cry (the prequel one) and they used a bunch of mount commands on a screen to show Virgil hacking the network
TBH, on ancient insecure systems that might work.
Not very exciting though
That's some shitty 'hacking'...
But what makes these shell commands 'bash' exactly? Seems like this could be a half-dozen shells.
Also.. why are 'hackers' always using a shell in some gui program?
Yeah everyone knows the real way to hack Linux is to do tree /
Lots of weird looking text output means lots of hacking
Making a new python environment
This guy pythons
Also… why are ‘hackers’ always using a shell in some gui program?
An actual CLI would frighten the windows users watching the show.
"Scary how hackers are always using DOS prompts isn't it?"

I guess I just used bash as deonym for shell. Sry. It was late and I was tired.
Hey no worries, I dunno why I even called that out. Lack of sleep due to back pain and responding to posts at 2am I guess
just tried to re-watch "the girl in the spider's web", the not-sequel to fincher's masterpiece that's "the girl with the dragon tattoo". I remember hating it way back when and went in with a "how bad can it be" attitude... dios mio, what a colossal mountain of shit. the "hacking" in OP is hard sci-fi compared to this turdistan, and that's the least of its problems.
someone posted already the gell-mann amnesia effect and this applies to everything. how guns are portrayed in movies as magical. cars and how they're driven. the laughable naive cop shows. medical procedures. legal proceedings. journalists and their MO.
you hafta run your brain at 110% at all times to be able to somewhat disregard the learned idiocy that was programmed into you from an early age. here's hoping we have the infrastructure in place so generations that are coming can avoid becoming similarly handicapped.
Thank God actual cops haven't watched those TV shows and movies.
OMG, they just got root access!!!
Heresy? In my Linux command line? It's more likely than you think
"I'm in."
Viewsonic monitor tho. Nostalgic AF
NO MR HACKER PLEASE. NOT MY KDE DOTFILE!!!!
SOMBODY HELP, HE IS RICING MY DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT!!!
HES POSTING IT ON UNIXPORN THAT SICK FUCK
I upvoted, but the im*ge didn’t load, so I hope that it’s something funny or relevant
