Stacca Stacca!
This is an amazing film. Part of an italian TV documentary it shows two hackers doing some hacking via X.25 into a US military system. You get to see as they go through the various hurdles, such as stealing access via fake credit card, password guessing, and… well, just password guessing really.
They then start printing out some data from the system to the screen, and as it is scrolling by it turns to gibberish and they start yelling: “cut it! cut it! they are tracing us!”

Why am I so unimpressed by these strikes? Israel and the US have failed to target significant elements of Iran's nuclear materials and production infrastructure. RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER are tactically brilliant, but may turn out to be strategic failures. 🧵 1/17
