Battle Royale
Ultra-violent Japanese survivalist cult classic, pitting teenagers against
themselves and the state. Uses nmap, although you need to be quick to spot
it, the concept of logic bombs, and a frantic hack with life as the flag.
The ultimate expression of coding to a deadline.
Film Four and Sky screen it occasionally, so although not full mainstream,
it is a well regarded film. I believe a high budget sequel/remake is
planned.

"Swordfish"
Washed out hacker writes a hydra in 20 seconds (including 3D
graphics)
which allows him to gain access to US gov systems while being given
oral "attention" by a hot woman ;)
I've been doing security work for some years now, but still
can't seem
to land jobs like that ;)

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.
