So as I am sat here watching Die Hard 4.0 and loving it even though its the billionth time that I’ve watched it but it still makes me wonder, do you guys think that it would be possible to achieve a “Fire Sale” and hacking into pretty much everything my most curious one is traffic lights
how is it possible to hack into traffic lights… I would love to know how just so I can say I know but not so I could do it
but seriously the ideas behind this film I think is possible, you could disable the entire country remotely from a computer barring the electricity they are able to disable more or less everything :O.
so my question is it possible, to the world of nerd out there… is it possible, I would love to learn the mechanics of hacking like I said not because I’d like to do it but because I would love to learn more about it, do if anyone knows where is a good place to start, please do tell.
And I leave you with my photo of this post
so this is one of my uncles old pets, how magnificent I had the glove on and let it sit on my arm and just to be so close to such an amazing creature was just enough the picture doesn’t need explaining



It would be great if you could do it from a smartphone
yeah it would but could you imagine the chaos it would cause… lets hope its not possible
Your question: Can it be done (in real life)?
No! Given the amount of factual errors made in the film.
Of course the movie script says it can. Why? Because it is written as such…

Will this stop me from watching 4.0 over and over again? No!
Also I’m not sure what you mean by learning how to ‘hack’, as the movie only portrays attempts to crack and thus bring down the system due to those!?
Thank you for the amusing read though.
Haha ok ok I wasn’t thinking hacking, cracking and all out explosions
the film I will continue to watch but yeah if it were possible someone might just have gave it a shot by now
I new the full was highly inaccurate
still like you said doesn’t stop me from watching it
And as for learning to hack, I no the different between hacking and cracking and would like to learn just what the two are
If you really want to learn… Then expect to read a lot and learn how to use your favorite Search Engine to its fullest potential.

Here is a good start: http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/appendixc.html
If you are thinking this after Die Hard 4.0, I can’t wait to see what your postings are after Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, [my heroine, Lisbeth Salander!]
Love your blog and energy that comes with it!
