Exploring the Hacker Tools of Mr. Robot
I've seen so many ridiculous "hacking" sequences in films that I really wasn't expecting this series to go into as much realistic detail as they do. Also most hacking stuff in films is at its worst when it comes to the dialogue which somehow always has to have something to do with shutting down a "mainframe".<p>But this series does a great job both from a tech and dialogue perspective. There's even a scene where the main character and the CTO of another corp (trying not to spoil anything),  have a conversation about gnome vs. kde.<p>EDIT: after doing some reading looks like the writer/creator is responsible a lot of this realism see: <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2015/06/24/mr_robot_gay_character_sam_esmail_explains_why_the_show_needed_one.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2015/06/24/mr_robot_gay_c...</a>.
