Recently, I saw a hacker-themed German movie , "Who Am I - No System Is Safe." (Attached is the translation of the film: "Who I Am: No System That's Absolutely Secure")
Before A bang, there is little contact with hacker-themed movies, the reason is well, one is not very understanding, and the other is that this kind of movie will generally make people think about it very scarily, although it will not be made horrifying, but it will make you goosebumps.
Because the internet is all around us, we are constantly in contact with the online world, and in the process, we unconsciously leak our own information, and it is easy to become the target of the kidnapping of network operators.
When it comes to hackers, everyone has an inexplicable admiration for the fact that they can infiltrate all corners of the online world through a computer. Not only is it free from the shackles of the real world, but it also has the ability to manipulate the network and the real realm of the network that is connected to the network.
Top hackers can follow the network cable to the network of the most stringent national security and secrecy department to "visit", but also maintain a state of "not entering the door", after all, walking outside the door others can not control you, you have to break in to see that it is done to death.
The male protagonist is a forced person who wants to get the attention of the whole world.
The male protagonist Benjamin has dreamed of becoming a superhero since he was a child, but becoming a superhero requires two major conditions:
(1) Sad personal experience: transparent enough that even the school disdain the existence of bullying.
(2) Tragic family background: poor environment, early death of both parents.
It just so happens that this benevolent brother is a "heavenly man", and the two major conditions are fully satisfied, and thousands of decays and fortunes are in one.
As the saying goes, I don't do heroes who do! Who else is worse than me? Who else!
The male protagonist begins to desire to save the world to gain his sense of existence, so he wears a specific set of combat suits every day to travel from place to place, looking for those who are tormented by desire - of course, I am talking, the takeaway brother.
Although this strange man lives in obscurity in real life, when he touches the keyboard, he becomes a top computer hacker, with a talent for c/C++ and other programming languages and hacker death IP tracking, and can easily track any information of any person.
The male protagonist who is so transparent will go to the dark web from time to time to worship his idol.
What is the dark web – a network that is not found by the average browser and search engine. All kinds of illegal transactions can be found on the dark web: drug trafficking, identity forgery, hiring killers...
The dark web is 400-500 times larger than the bright web and stores more than 90% of the internet's information, in other words, the information we get when we browse the internet is just the tip of the iceberg.
Mortals such as me may not be able to become dark web users in their lifetime, but there is always the possibility of becoming the prey of dark web users.
No kidding, maybe the camera in front of your computer has become a channel for others to spy on you
In the pyramid position of the dark web is the idol of the male protagonist - MRX. He's a hacker superhero, and he has three rules of belief.
First, no system is secure.
Second, if you dare to do it, you can win.
Third, have fun in virtual spaces as well as meeting spaces. (In other words, don't limit your fun to the virtual world.) ）
These three sentences are almost the internal driving force of the male protagonist's behavior in the film, and MRX is also a key figure who promotes the male protagonist's death throughout the film.
The male protagonist opens his fingers in the online world, enjoying unrestrained freedom and great self-satisfaction, but at the same time he also falls into the abyss of breaking the law.
The film begins with the male protagonist sitting in the interrogation room and narrating the incident to the female protagonist, who is an investigator.
The male protagonist once met three hacker friends by chance and formed their own hacking organization "CLAY".
The wandering but leadership-oriented Marx —
Stephen, who is in a thrill-seeking pursuit—
The calm and cautious Paul —
Hackers differentiate themselves by attacking network systems with increasingly high levels of defense.
Together, they played a video of Hitler at an internal German conference, a prank of German stock movements, an intrusion into the lighting system of a drug manufacturing building, the hacking of pornographic platforms, an attack on the ordering system of e-commerce...
Their behavior caused a huge stir on the Internet, but when someone mentioned CLAY on the dark web, the big god MRX said contemptuously "Who is CLAY?" ”
This made the arrogant and arrogant Marx very dissatisfied, and he was determined to do something bigger to gain the attention of the great gods.
They decided to invade bnD (headquarters of the German Federal Intelligence Service).
Joke! Is the Intelligence Bureau invading as long as you want? There must also be a limit to the loading!
Of course, no system is absolutely safe, and there is no end to death.
Overnight, clay became famous throughout the Internet and was revered as a great god. But.
Yes, the "but" came
On the night that the four of them went to Hipi, the male protagonist saw that his first love that he was struggling to pursue kissed Marx.
MD！ I considered you a friend, but you robbed me of my first love!
Can you bear it?
Of course not!
In a fit of rage, the male protagonist sent the information secretly stolen in the Intelligence Bureau to mr. MRX.
A piece of information of countless value in black and white was so easily transferred to others by the male protagonist, I think his father and mother died early, otherwise they would be angry with him sooner or later. After all, there is really no hacker who can do such selfless dedication of the male protagonist.
In fact, after so long of mixing, the big god MRX is not a vegetarian, and cooperates with Russian internet gangsters behind his back. After obtaining the information of the male protagonist, he immediately killed the hackers related to the Intelligence Bureau, and transferred the murder to the CLAY combination that was active in the Intelligence Bureau that night.
In short, the male protagonist and the other three inexplicably became the target of the Russian and German authorities.
In fact, seeing here A Bang felt that the other three people were also quite pitiful, originally adhering to the principle of "not entering through the door", low-key and connotative to tell everyone that a "visit here" can make a lot of money in the hacking world, but I did not expect to be killed by the silly white sweet male protagonist.
Asking the world, what is the pig teammate, the Orthodox people live and die.
The silly white sweet male protagonist decided to find out the big god MRX and remove everyone's suspicions, but he did not expect to be taken a step ahead by the big god and exposed the IP address. (It turns out that you are a big god or your big god.)
）
So the film returns to the interrogation table, and the first half ends.
The second half began to reverse, the female investigator began to overturn the male protagonist's previous narrative, and then finally there was a reversal, all the foreshadowing had been buried at the beginning, you can look carefully.
To paraphrase a phrase from The Liar, when doubt is lifted, it is conviction. A story with loopholes can make people suspicious without thinking, and only then can it be more likely to make people fall into misunderstandings.
A little disappointed is the arrest of the god MRX, too quick and too easy, but the flaws are not hidden, this film is mainly a psychological game between the male protagonist and the investigator, and to a deeper point is a more philosophical question: WHO AM I? Ah Bang's clumsy writing really can't be expressed, and can only be understood that it cannot be expressed.
After watching "The Invisible Guest" and "Extraordinary Suspect", Ah Bang did not feel much novelty about such films that derived clues and information about events under interrogation, or that I had already preset it in my mind. (In addition, these two films are also recommended for everyone to watch, spoilers are not interesting, after all, from the beginning it was a routine.) ）
However, this film is still worth watching, A Bang feels that the biggest highlight is the presentation of the gray scene during the hacker confrontation, replacing the operation of the network with a figurative scene, which makes me, a layman, also feel very interesting.
However, the film has a small anti-transfer that I think is interesting, I thought that the male protagonist was a provocateur, but I did not expect it to be...
