Jerry Bell @jerry

Local news interviewed a security company. Two employees were showing how hacking is done 😂😂

@jerry "Let's take some B roll of those guys working on their computer."

"They're playing MineCraft."

"Doesn't matter. It'll look good on-air."

@jerry I would expect that from Fox 5 but not WSB. ;-)

@jerry wow they're just not giving a fuck are they? fun.

@jeff they are making full use of their 15 seconds of fame.

@jerry I can't take hackers serious without a proper ski mask.

@cwcopa I suspect they wanted to but either didn’t have them handy or were told they wouldn’t be recorded with them on. either way, SAD.

@jerry It is. I watched it at least 10 times and it went worse with every time.

@cwcopa I thought it was epic and is probably exactly what i would do if i were in the background of a story being recorded about hacking

@jerry I mean, that's not entirely inaccurate. They have a screen shot of what might be Ida Pro with x86 assembly code and a control flow graph. That's a pretty legit portrayal of reverse engineering, IMO.

@thedagit you’re right - it was clearly ida pro, but I was referring to the keyboarding, not what’s on the screen.

@jerry @thedagit software testers call it "think time", it is a perfectly valid concept, too :)

@jerry WOW 100% realistic because we all know 2 people 1 keyboard is the only way to hack.

@jerry what's that, IDA? How dare they show something that makes sense?
