February 24, 2006Groan. Wanna learn how to break into Vegas?OK, so I normally groan at the technical inconsistencies when I watch movies that include hacking. Heck, even in the Matrix I groaned when I watched Trinity use nmap. And lets not even discuss Harrision Ford as a CSO of a bank in "Firewall". Anyways, today I am groaning for a different reason. And that's due to cheesy acting, not bad tech. And that's ok. There is a really funny movie on MSDN TV this week called "The Code Room: Breaking Into Vegas". In it, they show attack and defense of the online casino app at the "Plaza Hotel". It's actually done pretty well. They show real world attack vectors like SQL injection and session hijacking and discuss how to mitigate against it. I had a real chuckle when Frank was holding his Threat Modeling book and going on about enumerating the threats by analyzing the current codebase. Oh you didn't know? The cast is full of security engineering geeks that we all know and love. Well worth the 30 minutes, if nothing more to get a chuckle. And hopefully... some of you may learn a thing or two.
