Decrypt.py: Act like a decrypting hacker on tv

[exogen]

Using aircrack-ng to get onto a wifi network looks surprisingly like you'd expect from a movie: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/screenshots/aircrack-ng.gif (pretend those digits are constantly updating)

Link for lazy Mac OS X users:

curl -O https://raw.github.com/jtwaleson/decrypt/master/decrypt.py; chmod +x decrypt.py; ls -la | ./decrypt.py

It's useless, but pretty nifty at 80x24.

So... uhh...

this one-liner will download and execute a python script.

would really suggest that you read the script before executing it.

Also see Hacker Typer for a web browser version. :)

wget https://raw.github.com/jtwaleson/decrypt/master/decrypt.py; chmod +x decrypt.py; ls -la | ./decrypt.py

It doesn't bite.

After commenting out line 20, this is actually pretty awesome.

This is quite possibly one of the coolest Python scripts I have ever seen. I'm going all the way to Hollywood baby.

Maybe I don't watch enough television but I don't think I've ever seen this effect in any TV show or movie. Anyone know of a show that did this?

I seem to remember something similar in Wargames from the 80's.

Fun with jp2a and the images from the Curiosity rover. You can act like you're intercepting the signal or something.

Does it work with a over ssh?

[dag11]

Yes.
