Inventory of data centers in Hollywood movies
Hollywood particularly prefers to use the data center as a movie scene. In many feature films, there is always someone who sneaks into the machine room and places a destructive mechanical device near the server. Usually, he will grab a network cable at random, connect it directly to the laptop, and then send the malware to the server.
Most of the time, these scenes are to create tension, but in these five movies, they look very funny.
Paranoia (2013)
Wrong content: actors sneak into the data center to steal secrets.
Starring Liam. Hemsworth is not the only flaw in this thriller. Some suspense shots even dabbled in the knowledge of biometrics, such as scanning the fingerprint on the spoon with the iPad, and then using the fingerprint image in the iPad to remove the server password. Later, Hemsworth played Adam. Cassidy sent some flash pictures from his mobile phone to obtain the password of the secret passage entrance; This seems impossible. He can even press a button on his watch to turn off the power of the whole building; Some even shouted in panic, "Let our IT department answer the phone!". In any case, the server in the data center looks very real and easy to access from a main channel.
Entrapment (1999)
Error content: The protagonist connects to the network and prepares to steal funds.
In Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones's crime thriller "Sneaking Trap", the leading actor sneaks into the computer room and successfully opens the cabinet. They quickly used jumper wires to change the flow, leading to securities trading can be completed without any password. Virginia Baker, played by Zeta Jones, pulls something like an Ethernet cable out of her laptop, and suddenly the alarm goes off. When this happens, it means that your hacking has triggered the alarm system.
Ocean's Eleven (2001)
Error content: someone's confidant connected a network cable to the computer to obtain the video recording of the entire casino.
This movie has taken the data center as one of the classic movies in the past decade. One of the criminals in the movie (Livingston Dell, played by Eddie Jamison) sneaks into the casino's data center. He connected a device with an Ethernet cable, and miraculously was able to access (here is the most important spoiler) the video stream data of the casino security surveillance video. Don't worry about whether intruders need to write down route instructions to find the computer room. Because this seemingly impossible task, he finally successfully found the correct server cabinet and network cable. Even if you can easily redirect the video, the signal is still encrypted to prevent external access.
Created by: Zhanji Legacy (2010)
Error content: There is no hot channel in the data center, and the hero can log in to the server directly.
The film takes the pair as the shooting scene. One thing is certain: it should look like something will happen in the future. The problem is that the programming genius who created the virtual world should know that the data center has hot channels and cold channels, but each server is evenly separated like a checkerboard. Of course, this layout will make it more difficult for intruders to connect to the server. In addition, the main actor (Sam Flynn, played by Garnett Hedland) uses something that looks like a Nokia phone and invades a running server. You would think that at least he should be using the iPhone
Hacker (1995)
Error content: The data center server is an empty, laser filled, luminous blue box.
When you watch the film Hacker in the 1990s, you may have good memories, but the high-tech data center shown in these scenes is ridiculous and unrealistic. The server looks like something from the electronic world war: a luminous glass column composed of multiple lines of text, smart sound effects and laser light. In reality, even the most powerful high-tech data center will be designed to be very common: the purpose of this design is to ensure the security, efficient processing and convenient access of the data center
