Untraceable

Publicated on : 1211477762
Okay, this is a new movie. And it seems that hacking has become a trend in new movies. Pretty cool, anyway here is untraceable a nice thriller. Now it seems they consulted a hacker afterwards, because the original screenplay is pretty ridiculous. Nonetheless, the new scene transcript is pretty accurate actually. That can be done. But still, all they need to do is take down his DNS, but they go on saying: We have no jurisdiction there LOL :) And later on they ramble about computer backdoors and all, but hey you run Safari! how about using Opera or Firefox next time in a movie? Overall, nice movie far more accurate regarding hacking than die hard 4 and worthy to own in my opinion.









Now the accurate part:



14:50



BROOKS

Let's shut him down!



MARSH

I just did. (using Safari lol)



BROOKS

There you go!



MARSH

I'll type in the address again...



BROOKS

Huh.



MARSH

it's been doing that all night, the sites IP keeps changing constantly, each address is an exploited server. It's running a mirror of the site, then flushes a name server that uses a low TTL, your computer constant queries the name servers record, and that's how it keeps giving you a new address consistently, Look there are thousands of exploited servers on the Internet, so he isn't going to run out of victims anytime soon. But he accesses his machines so quickly, he's got to running his own botnet, I mean we are black holing his IP, and every time he pops up!



Original screenplay:



BROOKS

What's that?



MARSH

Chat-room shorthand. 'Glad You Enjoyed The Show. More To Come.'



The emoticon comes strutting across the screen. It stops and laughs mockingly at its audience. Brooks smirks--



BROOKS

Cocky little bugger.



MARSH

He can afford to be. His site's incredibly sophisticated. Every frame of the video's hidden and relayed among all of its viewers. Lots of viewers...lots of relays, like a mosaic...and it's impossible to tell where it originated. It's almost like he's built his own peer to peer serving network for every frame.
