Poor Daniel.
Clearly the name David is cursed. You did it to yourself
H4xx0r name: Major Spamm4ge
H4xx0r gear: A creepy black iron mask that covers my entire head, and I have to communicate by typing into a keyboard which is hooked into a minicomputer running a text-to-speech program.
With that out of the way, I never saw the movie Hackers in full, and honestly I think I can go through the rest of my life like that. But I have seen season four of Arrow where there was a LOT of hacking going on. Some highlights: Super hacker Felicity is trying to counterhack someone, but the problem is that an evil hacker had hacked her computer and put some sort of evil screensaver up which prevents her from seeing what she’s doing. This does not stop her from hacking a power surge at the evil hacker (I think that’s what happened?) and no one comments on the evil screensaver still being up and how she was still able to pull it off. Also, John Diggle needs to call for help from the other heroes, but doesn’t have a radio. So instead, he somehow uses a freaking TV to transmit a signal to them.
Yeah. It seems that writers still don’t understanding hacking at all, and probably never will.
My Hacker name is Epitaph, and aside from my rollerblades, I always carry a disassembled electromagnet ^^
