Watching #hackermovies all night for the New Year and realized I’ve watched more than I thought … also I don’t know why take down is so funny to me 😂

I can see why the Hackers vs. Sneakers movie debate is so strong.

I can also see why they both have such a significant passion around each of them.

Let me hash it out - tell me if you agree.

Hackers.

This brings those that were on that side of the scene back to nostalgia. The times of phone phreaking and dialers, undocumented phone numbers, accessing local known BBS and unknown wardialed places. Hanging out with friends, raves and parties, the outcasts in their own clique of "don't care" who thinks things.

Was it elaborate over stated visuals fore dialing up into computers? Far Fetched a bit in the hacking with ease of doing things like credit card canceling and people who were very much alive but now deceased.

Yes - of course it was. However from that time were people that closed their eyes and would hope that traveling through the telco wires and connecting to the computers would look like that if they could extend themselves into the systems they were connecting to.

Sneakers.

This is for the grown-ups, that were already on the other side of the Phone Phreaks, the ones learning how to defend and break up the dial ins, the calls and the mischief. The ones who were already in the system wishing they could "go home again" and be the same. The Sneakers team has a mission, ethics, discussions on right and wrong. Attacking and defending and working for the way that benefits humanity and safety.

The Sneakers are now, what once were the Hackers. They are past the mischief, the causing trouble, and using that knowledge to defend and do what is right for the world order of security and ethics because they were once the Hackers.

@48kRAM I remember the first time I saw one of these #Cray1 #superComputers .

It was in the #movie Sneakers. The 2 protagonists sat together on the circular bench seat of the Cray in a glassed room discussing the changes in their lives that came to that point.

I remember a quote (probably paraphrased):

"Organized crime isn't really that organized"

One of the classic #hackerMovies .
