There are a zillion near - time to come scifi film that have hackers in them doing highly technical things like “ hacking the planet ” or “ bringing down the whole system . ” When filmmakers do n’t desire to sound like total imbecile , however , they call a real cyberpunk to refer — a hacker likeFyodor , whose real - life software cock “ nmap ” was used by uber - hacker Trinity in The Matrix and evince up in a Bourne Identity cameo . Fyodor also consult on the hack scenes in Live Free or give way Hard ( he ’s not convinced his stimulant made the flick any more realistic ) . Though he think The Matrix is the best scifi hacking movie out there , Fyodor has a surprising option for “ good geek porn ” in a cyberpunk movie .
He says futuristic thriller and cheesefest Antitrust work him smile :
Antitrust may not be naturalistic , but is good geek porn because what eccentric does n’t want to be flattered with the idea that Microsoft and other giant corps all respect your mad skills so much that they ’ll send out beautiful women ( and , regrettably , assassins ) to seek to pick your brainpower . Even Bill Gates was begging that bozo to work for him , but he was chillin in his garage doing his own matter . It is a pretty terrible motion-picture show , but I did recover it somewhat entertaining .
Fyodor , whose hack pseudonym comes from Dostoevsky ’s Notes from the Underground , helped io9 get its name too . He was the lofty owner of io9.com before we got root on his boxful and stole it aside . Thanks , Fyodor !
