Hollywood Hacking Tropes, Phone Tracing and Password Cracking
The hosts discuss common inaccuracies in television depictions of technology, such as the "90-second trace" for phone calls. They criticize shows like NCIS for depicting hackers guessing complex passwords based on personal details like a pet's name. They contrast these tropes with the more realistic "human hacking" shown in the series Mr. Robot.
