Hacking the System Audience Reviews

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
chasingthewind-49172 There are several very good suggestions or tips so far but on many occasions such as smashing a car window with a rubber mallet won't get you very far...which they did. Calling 2 small (I know how powerful they are because I use them in various applications and sizes) magnates industrial. Truing to trip a light. No, not good enough. They are powerful but only for a very short distance. There are other devices that claim the same thing but to change enough conductance you need something that outputs a larger field than those magnates he used. The copper wire is an OK idea although a larger coil (diameter) might be the better bet. Not for a bike but maybe a car. An electromagnate would carry a much much larger field. The trunk tips were very nice info for people. There are so many to list but the fact that there IS a lot of good information kind of balances out the fakery or the misrepresentations by either design or by mistake. But they are there. Best thing to do is be careful if you try this to see if it works. Always have healthy suspicion and awareness of what they are showing you. And when there are situations that are told to be authentic make sure you question why no one is reacting to it or to the people with the camera equipment....
Shane R Let's get straight to the point. If you have half a grain of common sense, then this show is straight up garbage. You're led to believe you're going to see the host choose and break into a car, which is true, if by that you mean "the host chooses the clearly staged car and opens the door easily without any extra work and the camera intentionally blocking the view, after which the host uses a large set of skeleton keys to start the engine and drive out of the scene". Everything about this show is so cringe worthy. They create OBVIOUSLY staged scenes and expect to fool the viewer by showing feeds from "hidden" cameras. Absolutely everything about this show is old, rehashed garbage. If you've spent 10 minutes on the internet, you've already seen everything this show has, and you've already seen half of it debunked. Nothing in this show is a "hack".
admin-94484 To start off, kkp-14365 is a moron. That reviewer is the only reason I created an account."The "info" in this show ranges from recycled gossip to outright incorrect." - I may not say that I agree with 100% of the show, but much of it is logically sound. This statement seems to imply that there is not much fact or reason in here."...there is very bad advice that can compromise yours security, to advice that could lead to legal trouble if you accept it." - There are a couple things that I would never attempt here, but Brian Brushwood makes warnings about them."There is nothing new here. The errors are glaring, and some are downright brain-dead errors." - Much of this will be new to many people out there. Sure, not to me, but there are plenty out there. Also, going back to my response above - Brian makes reasonable statement for most things in the show. This guy should "show his work" when making argument by stating specifics instead of generalizing the whole show."Using "This is my password" vs "k2j340@" is not stronger. The ignorance required to think the first is better, simply because of more characters, shows a complete misunderstanding of security." - Incorrect, all things being equal. The longer the password, the less possible it will be to attack by way of brute force or dictionary attacks. There is a reason that there has long since been a trend in sites requiring more complex and longer password. Other types of methods, like exploiting vulnerabilities in software, may be possible and no length or complexity will save you. The mere fact that using exploits is not the only way to bypass security (since brute force is an option) makes the lengthening of passwords a useful method."Errors such as this abound, and the fact that the creators of this "entertainment" pass themselves off as experts only makes matters worse." - I do agree that this is really focused on entertainment.A lot of the "hacks" here employ some sort of social engineering methodology. That is what Brian Brushwood is good at. And social engineering works.
Reuben Cao I saw the show on National Geographic, the Host is Brian? i think, he is funny, the format is a story-setting. Each episode, Brian gives a scenario, and how to hack your way through each of them , very addicting. His scenarios aren't crazy like what to do when you are at the edge of apocalypse, he uses everyday life scenario and made it very very entertaining. I mean He teaches you how to buy mattress and made it so interesting. How cool is that? I got hooked the first 5 minutes. His hacks are very simple, yet very very informative and useful. I have never learned so much in 30 minutes. Brian is very charismatic, Jason his friend is very smart addition. They are informal but also the show is definitely very unique. I think they are gonna be huge, better than regular "survival" show.
