A useless web page on the information super-collider AKA "The Inter-Web"
This is a page devoted to passwords, passcodes, keys, secrets, and general computer security related to hacking/cracking/computer-crime/"whatever" in movies and sci-fi flicks. At least two movies listed here are actually web-based movie-hype-sales-thingies so should not really count. Find "Movie Passwords" and "Movie related passwords" for common movies here. Movies reviewed appear in the list at the top. Movies to be reviewed are in the list at the end.
If you can think of another movie, e-mail me with the title and reason it is hacker cracker/security related. You can also notify me of mistakes if you wish! (I can include your correction along with your handle and/or e-mail address on the web page if you permit me.)
While this page contained reviews for all movies, this page became too large to be useful. This page has been broken-down into separate pages-- one for each movie:
Since copyright prevents me from scanning images and screen captures into images to be served on the web, I am trying my hand again with ASCII art to create my own impression of content. Please use your imagination when viewing the ASCII art - you will need it!
You will see movie titles as links listed in the far left column, and to the right of each title, you should see an IMDB link. The link with the name of the movie should take you to a page where you find my review of the movie for passwords, passcodes or interresting computer security issues. The link to the right of each movie should take you off my site to IMDB to permit you to review details about the movie.
