Hi to all,

- Gattaca: Good sf-movie: Where a guy needs to decieve the authorities by using false contactlenzes, blood and urine.
- The assassin: Where she blows -up a pc with a disk (kewl)
- Any "many" episode of star trek voyager. This must be one of the easyest starships to hack into. And Tovak (the volcan keeps having to update the security protocols)
- Freedom downtime: Haven't seen this movie but it is" a feature lenght documentary about the free Kevin movement and the hacker world"
- Computer chronicles: http://www.archive.org/movies/computerchronicles.php. This is / was a famouse computer television show.
You can download all sorts of computerrelated episodes. (and in different kinds of quality) ;-)
- Hackers Computer outlaw: a documentary about and with wozniak, captain chruch and Kevin Mitnick
It shows the evolution of computerhackers
- In the realm of the hackers: an other documentary about to the australien hacking scene.
A very good documentary.


I can help you with the last two. But please contact me off the subject.

A bit off the wall, but as good a place to post this as any :)

I'm writing a tutorial/courseware on security (both basic topics and
programming) and I'm looking for clips from movies or tv to introduce
subjects - I've found that videos work well with introductions and short
breaks to getting the audience in the right frame of mind (as well as
getting them relaxed).  So far I have the following....

Jurassic Park - insider threat (the programmer gets the system to bypass
security while he steals the DNA/embryos)

Sneakers - Cryptography (when the team discovers it's a crypto box they
have)

The Net - Personally identifiable information (main characters personal
information is deleted)

War Games - [Not sure yet, not managed to pickup the film]

Hackers - [Not sure yet, not managed to pickup the film]

Any other suggestions?  I'm only wanting short (5min) sections, but I'm
willing to edit bit's out if needed.

Cheers,
Mike.
