I just finished watching the first episode of what seems to be a pretty epic show based around hacking , it appears to be a bit more realistic compared to shows like person of interest and crime dramas that use the term ' cross reference ' to the extreme .
The name of the show is ' Mr Robot'.
From what i have gathered from the first episode the main character is an IT professional working (outsourced) in the infosec department of a global conglomerate , without giving too much away the main character is an introvert with a disdain for society yet he feels a need to act the part of a vigilante with incredible IT skills .
Within the first episode his entire world is changed when a DDOS attack of colossal proportions takes down the servers he is in charge of , however upon inspection of the downed servers the situation becomes more sinister .
If i had to describe the main character in a sentence it would be ' an introverted Dr House working in the infosec field .'
@wendell I think this may be something you and tek members might find interesting
A promising new tv show that seems to use actual pentesting & computer science terminology correctly
Been watching it since the release of the pilot and it's actually pretty good. Huge cliff hanger in the most recent episode.
