TOP 10 HACKING MOVIES........

The BEST way to follow a path is to watch its imitation and it is always pleasing to see movies that involve computer hacking or hackers in action. Although most of these films don't always represent the real deal …but on feedback I get a suggestion to post more movies/stories regarding hackers….;)
I have here my top 10 all time favorite hacker movies that involve computer hacking. Share your comments with me please and rank it again according to you…coz I may be bad in ranking sector…:P


10. THE MATRIX (TRILOGY)


An all time list of movies about hacking is never complete without including The Matrix. Its trilogy is a mainstream success, so I presume that you have seen at least one instalment or know something about The Matrix. But for those of you who are clueless, the film tells the story about a computer hacker known as Neo (Keanu Reeves) who learns from mysterious underground hackers about the real nature of his existence and his main role in the war against the controllers of it.


WarGames is a film about a young hacker who unknowingly gains access to WOPR, a United States military supercomputer programmed to predict possible after-effects of nuclear war. He gets WOPR to run a nuclear war simulation, initially perceiving it to be a computer game, which caused a national nuclear missile scare and nearly initiates World War III.

6. HACKERS


I think this movie is really popular among geeks for two reasons: Angelina Jolie and well, it is a story about hackers. The film follows the adventures of a group of gifted high school hackers and their involvement in a corporate extortion conspiracy. The lead character, Dade "Zero Cool" Murphy (Jonny Lee Miller), is arrested by the US Secret Service for writing a computer virus, banning him from using a computer until he turns 18. Years later, he and his hacker friends discover a plot to unleash a dangerous computer virus allowing them to use their computer skills to find the evil computer genius behind the virus while being pursued by the Secret Service.


    5.SWORDFISH

                                                                                  
If you are a big fan of Halle Berry and of course, computers, then this movie is for you. This action-packed film involves a high-tech robber/villain named Gabriel Shear (John Travolta) against Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman), a super hacker convicted by the FBI but who is trying to stay clean. Gabriel is the leader of a covert counter-terrorist unit called Black Cell who wants to steal $9.5 billion worth of money from a secret government slush fund (codenamed Swordfish). But since it's locked up behind a complicated encryption system, he offers the desperate Stanley $10 million to hack into the system and steal themoney for him.

 4. DIE HARD 4.0
                       .

The fourth instalment in the Die Hard series is geeky enough for me to be included on this list. The story revolves around a group of super hackers/cyber terrorists who plan to hack FBI computers and takes over several U.S. technology infrastructures. Thanks to Bruce Willis' immortality and the aid of non-evil computer geeks headed by Justin Long (aka The Mac Guy), the movie has a happy ending.

                                                                                    



3.SNEAKERS


Sneakers is a star-studded film that tells the story of Martin Bishop (Robert Redford), head of a group of experts who specialize in testingsecurity systems. When he is bribed by Government agents into stealing a top secret black box, the team find themselves involved in a game of danger and conspiracy. After getting the box, they discover that it has the capability to decode every existing encryption system around the world. The problem is that the agents who hired them didn't work for the Government after all.

“THE MOST THRILLING FIGHT BETWEEN 2 HACKERS IN THE HISTORY OF U.S. EVER !!!”


Kevin Mitnick
Tsutomu Shimomura
             The story that I gonna tell you now is not new…its too old story but I’ll assure you that you guys gonna like it , because this is the most thrilling true story about the biggest war between a BLACK HAT CRACKER v/s WHITE HAT HACKER.                                  The black hat hacker was  Kevin Mitnick and white one was Tsutomu Shimomura . Although  Kevin Mitnick was not the first hacker but I am personally impacted by the art of performing hacking by this guy.
                Kevin Mitnick, "America's Most Wanted Computer Outlaw," eluded the police, US Marshalls, and FBI for over two years after vanishing while on probation for his 1989 conviction for computer and access device fraud. His downfall was his Christmas 1994 break-in to Tsutomu Shimomura's computers in San Diego, California. Less than two months later, Tsutomu had tracked him down after a cross-country electronic pursuit. Mitnick was arrested by the FBI in Raleigh, North Carolina, on February 15th, 1995 charged with stealing 20,000 credit card numbers.
