Reticularium

I like HD, it makes possible to see more details.

In Die Hard 4, in the scene where Matthew is chatting with Warlock right before McClain visit, Matthew’s desktop is visible on his Apple monitor. First interesting thing, there is Windows. Not looking like default Windows theme of course, but some icons on the desktop make it apparent (e.g. Cain and Abel – Windows password recovery tool).

Another funny thing is some kind of console there that is running.. what do you think? – of course nmap! Since The Matrix nmap is a must have utility for any serious movie about hackers (product placement, huh?). But what Matthew is running it against? Some Government or Pentagon servers? Not at all, the exact command is:

So he is doing his hard everyday hackers work scanning the nmap utility developers’ website and the host specially created for everybody could test nmap against it :)

I am not blaming anybody, this movie is much better in this regard than most of others. After all, what else would they scan?

Looking through job alerts I receive by email from oDesk I often see requests similar to this:

Some malicious user infected all htm and php files off our server with a iframe in the end off each file. I need to remove it from all files

These requests make me think that some webmasters don’t understand how it works.

Просматривая предложения о работе для фрилансеров, я часто вижу примерно такие задания:

Какой-то пользователь заразил все htm и php файлы iframe -ами, дописав их в конец файлов, мне нужно удалить их все

Это наводит на мысль, что не все вебмастеры понимают, как это работает. Это не “какой-то пользователь” заразил вам файлы, это, фактически, сделали вы сами.
