Get it right.  If you learn anything about hacking from TV/movies, it should be that frantic typing and quickly navigating through elaborate 3D interfaces is a requirement for breaking crypto!

Actually, I'm fairly sure it's entirely dependent on how quickly you can mash the fuck out of the keys.

Always enjoy hearing about SR on TV Smiley Makes me laugh at producers sometimes Roll Eyes

They had a reference about it being a black market, but the trades happend on IRC so the guy was easily traceable.

He shoulda used TOR Smiley

Or jump off points.
Oh my god that is great. I really need to go to Defcon.

As do I. That was the first Defcon talk I ever listened to in full. So I guess movies have it right Smiley
