WarGames movie - Mr. Potatohead! Backdoors are NOT secrets

why didn't he just google it? and what the hell was that big room with all the books...and that strange thing at 3:48??
i bet the password was something personal, like the dude's son's name.
fortunately, the military would never have a single point of failure for every nuke in the inventory.

The use of this strange thing is best illustrated in the first two minutes of Ghostbusters 1 ;-)

"could you wait here?"
"sure, why?"
because computers are a man's business, baby."

The Famous Back Door LOL  see Eddie Izzard's sketch on this site, Computer Encore...... hilarious....

I love these two characters. Should have had their own movie...or sitcom.

a record came out just after this film was made.bit of a rave tune,that sampled."what;s the differance"does anyone know who it was by.

i did have the record but lost it years ago,

I love the song that starts at 2:53 and if I'm correct and someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this part but this was the movie that when it came out it started the Computer Hacking and got people interested in it and it really took off when the movie HACKERS was released. Either way that you look at it this was the start of basically an Illegal craze that still continues to this day.

The song is called History Lesson by the Beepers.

Is it? I always thought it was part of Arthur Rubinsteins score. I dig it nonetheless.

the movie tron is what popularized hacking IMHO.
