Another fantastic episode of Mr. Robot gave CTO Corey Nachreiner plenty to analyze for hacker street cred in his Mr. Robot Rewind column on GeekWire.
Episode nine had several spot-on hacking moments, but a few strange missteps and holes that stand out in what would otherwise be a perfectly accurate real-life hacking scenario. This episode also pushes the boundaries of what is possible today – one major hack involves some theoretical hacking scripts that seem to be based on real research, but don’t actually exist yet.
As always, this articles include spoilers and lots of technical details, so be sure to watch this week’s episode before reading!
