As great as Rami Malek’s performance is, can we give props to the guy playing Ron? He perfectly plays a person who knows they’re completely fucked and is trying to desperately to stay in control
Ron tries to play into Elliott's insecurities about his Dad when he reveals his passing, as a way to build rapport. Then he tries to shed some crocodile tears. Dude is a master manipulator - Elliott is just so different that it doesn't work on him.
Not a master manipulatior. A pathetic one. He did it out of desperation because he knew he was fucked. But yes, Elliot is one of a kind. Zero empathy towards his opponents.
I still believe that if Ron didn't include that ransom money thing, he had the chance of winning the game of building rapport. But, as Elliot already called the cops, the scene had to be designed in that way.
to be fair, this probably wouldn't work on anybody unless they're incredibly stupid. Easy to see Rohit was trying to con him by instantly going down the dead dad path. Brilliant scene still
If you want to check the data from onion routing you need to know the exit AND entry points. Otherwise you cant use the keys. Elliot only talks about the Exit point. But you're true. It's by far the best series about how accurate hacking can works.
This is honestly, I’m my opinion, the greatest opening to a show ever. It both sets a tone and creates an expectation for the show that it would soon dispel. It also tells us so much about Elliot as a character in such a short span without being too expository.
@@blacknight1313 Wouldn't say it fell flat, more got way too muddied. The story remains intact for the majority of the show, note, I have not finished the show, got most of season 4 to finish. But I have to say, later on in the series, I'd say it started with season 3, the story becomes too vast, too many subplots going on to keep track of. Whenever a character would say something that I am supposed to understand, I never understood what they actually said until an episode later, your just given so many words you've never heard, given at least 6 stories to keep track of and it leaves the mid to end part of the story overly muddy and too hard to keep track of. The story was still good, just not told in the best way.
3:00 "I did not hurt anyone" That is such a good line to describe the fucked up mentality of someone like this. He thinks because he himself never physically did anything to a child that he's done nothing wrong.... He never once gave a thought to how many kids got kidnapped and abused thanks to the market he created.

Yeah! I was 14 and the only reason I watched the first few episodes (this is when the 1st season had come out) was because the Kali Linux blog mentioned that Elliot uses it on a daily basis. Fast forward to when the last season released: I completed it and was in awe at the sheer awesomeness of the show and its filmmaking and how accurately it showed technology (they had to use software and hardware released in 2015 throughout the 4 seasons)! Now it is among my favourite shows!
@@Sakboi2012 It stays within the tor network, an exit node is never needed, the show implies that he somehow intercepted the traffic on the local coffee shop network, through one way or another as a man in the middle, but TOR is built specifically to counter that so yeah that’s “unrealistic”, the only way he could be doing what he’s saying is to get remote code execution on the box itself, which what law enforcement agencies actually do.
Elliott was legit scary here. He's a different kind of intimidating. In a way, he's like a robot (heh). Once he sets his eyes on you, you're done. You can't convince him to spare you and you can't get him to stop.
@@halejandrohd2955 its a stupid fucking line. its like saying ' you made it hard for people to see you, but i can see you'. what. i like the show a lot and love this scene but its a dumb line
those bohemian rhapsody references are funny lol but on a real note, he's a morphine addict in the show, they tend to sound very Shakey and be Shakey. Especially if going through a withdrawal.
He is incredible to watch. His timing. I don't know how else to describe it. He hangs on little micro-moments by not speaking, not doing anything, just in the moment acting. Almost like he doesn't know what he's going to do next. He's just an incredible actor.
I've never seen him in anything before, although of course I know who he is. James Spader has that timing also. It's *such* an unusual way of being in a situation, it's like *real* reactions not "acting" at all.
As soon as Elliot brought up his dad, I knew the other guy was going to try to sympathize with him to try to get on his good side. Thankfully, this show is much smarter than a lot of others, and showed that Elliot already kinda expected that. :)
It has nothing to do with Elliot expecting him to play on some insecurity they share, Elliot is a sociopath and has no empathy, if he wasn't this guy absolutely would've succeeded in manipulating him.
@@sammyhonerd677 Not entirely true, Sociopaths can have empathy, but only to those they develop a strong connection with. They aren't incapable of empathy, that is more akin to the Psychopath, who as the name implies is psychotic, and incapable of developing empathy. This doesn't mean they cannot "care" for people, but they only "Care" for people, because they "Care" about themselves.
@@sammyhonerd677 Elliot is not a sociopath at all. The whole show was about Elliot odyssey of getting control of his life, control he lost due to his personality disorder, he also showed some symptoms of autism.
He could care less about his dad's death. But he jumped on the opportunity to pretend to care in hopes that he'd be let off the hook. The actor sold it well.
I'm just surprised they made the guy a hind00 but then again making him a ju like epstein, maxwell, wexner, dershowitz, fogle, polanski, gates...would be too realistic.
I like how Elliot calls him by his original name to go with his symbolic unmasking. It really solidifies with Ron that Elliot can't be bullshitted with
I did the same thing to an ID thief at my old job. Dude kept on using his stolen identity to purchase orders and call me (I work customer service) but I refused to call him that and insisted on referring to him by his real name, basically implying that I have all his real, verified info including all his work contacts (that I gathered through legally and morally questionable means, of course) and I'm not one to be BS'd with. Like Elliot with kiddy diddlers, I have a grudge for ID thieves because I was a victim of one myself.
Most all online pedophiles all say the same thing "I didn't hurt anyone". This guy takes it one step further by adding "that's my personal life". Weak and pathetic excuse for a human
I loved this scene, then the rest of the show went a waaaaaayyyy different way. I wanted it to be a crime fighting computer guy, locking robbers in bank vaults, helping find kidnappers, rerouting drug shipments and so much more. Oh well
Both actors are incredible convincing. Idk if it’s hard or not, but can’t imagine playing a character with a mental condition, toppled with social anxiety must be pretty hard to do lmao. The actor who also played Ron is also very good. His body language does most of the talking in this scene. He’s seeing a potential end to his entire life and his looking and any angle, desperately, to try to take control or even negotiate his way out of this one.
That's also what makes Elliot's hack more legally ambiguous, I'm not even sure if it is illegal, despite Elliot saying so. If he were identified my the police, he couldn't be charged with bribery.
A great stand alone scene, well-written, sets the mood/tone for the series, and a perfect introduction to the complex main character. One of the all time best opening scenes to a television show.
Heard about Mr Robot and thought to myself "Oh joy, another CSI styled 'hacking' drama" but gave it a go anyway. How wrong I was. This scene alone just hooked me in. So glad I gave it a chance.
For the longest time, I thought it was a teen romance with sci-fi elements for some inexplicable reason... I ended up watching it out of pure boredom and it was the best decision I have ever made.
the great thing is that the show is a solid psychological and political thriller that brings social commentary without being preachy. the hacking part is actually the thing that grounds it in the real world, rather than the other way around.
One of the worst things about pedophiles is that many of them are like this guy: Wealthy, smart and careful, lot of these people out there we will never see exposed :(

Well he gave the information on how the guy looked, he's Indian bro not white. Very huge difference so if he seen a white male walk out in a hoodie why would he stop him
This feels like a very confident Elliot. An Elliot that isn’t being affected by the schism within his personality. He’s very on point and confident. He doesn’t seem nervous at all. He’s very poised and direct and maintains more eye contact than usual. This is a beautiful scene.
As a Cybersecurity student currently studying about Networking, There are so many things i learn from this series, like Onion Routing, Honeypot, Firewall, etc. My Cyber lecturer even suggest to watch this Series and make a resume summary in Final Exam last Semester as this has so many keyword we can get and learn about it.

@@beccabellcampbell4682 Malak in No Time to Die was terrifying in my opinion as his character is so damaged in the movie he is willing to harm and kill "anyone" to achieve his twisted goals.
This scene was really well done and tells so much about Elliot's character and motivation. Most show openings are a hit or miss but after watching this opening for the first time I knew it was gonna be an amazing show!
"It's good. So good, it scratched that part of my mind. The part that doesn't allow good to exist without condition." Such a good line. Also really hits home if you suffer from anxiety and depression.
It also hits really different when you’ve watched the whole show and realise why Elliot had that part of himself in the first place, and how it ties into what he found out about this dude when he hacked him
Having a rather pessimistic mindset towards the world doesnt automaticially mean youre depressed. It also depends on your surroundings youre living with, and the cards you were given.
Probably the best opener to a tv show, wasn't sure about it at first but after this scene it had me absolutely hooked. I also immediately related to Elliots character as the introverted loner type which isn't something you see often as a main character.
The Mastermind wanted to confront Rohit in person, not to work on his social skills, but because subconsciously he's aware of the sexual abuse Elliot endured as a child, so was compelled to seek out the satisfaction of looking his surrogate abuser in the eye as he delivered justice without yet understanding why. It's great when a talented show-runner knows exactly the story he wants to tell from the very start.
The show also ended when it should. It did not continue forever. All good things must end before they make the mistake of prolonging it to much to make more money.
@@vidal9747 Actually I think they had a 5 season plan that got trimmed to 4. I may be wrong, but Elliot uses a lot of exposition about the Deus Group at the start of S4 instead of pealing the layers of the stories like they did in previous seasons.
🍷😆 Like how he shares preferences he is willing to jerk off to when he mentions about some harmless BDSM, And there fore not take offence about it. In any case he makes a point on how far the other guy has let himself push moral boundaries.
This is such a good character introduction. Nothing big like a fight scene. Just a bunch of dialog and signs of anxiety and you can tell what this dude is made of. Incredible character.
I like the look on Ron's face, when Rami told him about his father. The look actually indicates that he might get through to Rami, and make him forgive him, or at least make the situation negotiable.
It's incredibly-subtle acting, but so damn effective. He sees a potenti angle to exploit to try and negotiate his way out, so tries to appeal to Elliot, make himself seem more human and understanding.
@@mryellow6918 it still does protect you very well, or atleast as long as you're not against some heavily/goverment funded adversary, tor itself uses 3 layered encryption which starts at your browser and ends at either exit node or at the webserver itself if it's a dedicated onion webserver, and even when it ends at the exit node your connection is still encrypted by TLS/SSH basically HTT/PS. The way Elliot compromised the server in this video is pretty simple, he didn't really exploit the onion routing at all. In a dedicated onion server the server is actually the exit node or the last node. The server itself was directly connected to the lan in the cafe(basically being hosted there), and everyone on the cafe's wifi was on the same connection as the server. All Elliot did was to find out that a server existed on the network (most probably due to the high bandwidth usage) and then he was able to compromise it by probably exploiting one of the plethora of pre-existing server vulnerabilities. And, looking at the existing ( or atleast known ) attack vectors of the Onion Routing framework there exists only a few. The more known one being "Exit Node MITM Attack", which could be easily avoided by using HTT/PS based websites as your traffic would be encrypted by PMS even after leaving the exit node, and SSL downgrades are blocked by most browsers, and while there exists "SSL certificate attacks", they could only be carried by someone who has access to be able to create a Certificate from a trusted certificate authority, again that being possibly only possible for the government. And the other one being controlling the Entry and exit nodes(and if possible the node in between too as while it's technically possible to correlate metadata between entry and exit nodes, it's a tedious and could not work sometimes if the traffic is high on the nodes.), But then again for that you basically need to operate a large number of onion routing nodes, which basically translates to high financial ability, which is only possible for very heavily funded organizations. Such as government.
@@ExtremeMan10 Never knew that anonymous mode was to protect, it was simply made to keep stuff away from your history, cache, temporary directory, autocomplete, keeping stuff separate from plugins and possibly to enforce a few policies like disabling screen capture and restrict memory access to other processes. Other than that it doesn't do much. Also tor is still secure as long as you're either not dumb enough to frick your Opsec or are being targeted by some NSA level organization.
@@wrockd What I mean by it is that what you view in Anonymous mode is still visible to your operator or internet provider, so it wont protect you. I dont judge people on what they relief themselves on, as long as its fiction Im not judging but if it was, lets say "real" and rest I dont think I need to write then police would be on you in that very instant. Only time I use anon mode is when using source code without cookies saving on my main browser but yea you are right, when you mess up one small thing on tor and you are done.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Recently saw something (think it was vice) about people seeing men in suites following them and it turns out it's the number one sign of schizophrenia.
I thought this scene is elliot being an edgy vigilante and doesn't care about money. but, after 407 this is cleary a point to a revenge against elliot's past
It's insane to think that this first scene played such a important role in the plot down the road. It seems to disconnected until you really find out more about elliots past and everything comes together. Sam Esmail is truly a genius writer
The series could have been better. I quit watching when it started showing his delusions, and it made the entire show seem like a big day dream and not real. If they had just stuck with hacking in general and not done the mind games I would have stayed watching it.
I didn't have the slightest idea about the theme of the series when I randomly clicked on it after seeing the name "Mr. Robot". I thought it was something related to a humanoid robot. But this starting scene got me so hooked that I binged the entire season within hours.
@@swaffelkonijn1752 Yeah. Interest in computers and related topics provides better experience. When you understand why it was such an impossible task that they pulled off, it makes the show an adventure. Besides the show isn't a plain hacker show, it provides much more.
SPOILER: This is probably when the Mastermind was born. Eliot Prime hacked the network, and the CP triggered a flashback he couldn't mentally handle, so he created a new persona who couldn't remember, but could so something for the victims he was witnessing in the moment.
For 4 seasons I've been thinking this was a pilot episode mistake. He's holding eye contact and being confident. Elliot isn't like this for the rest of the show, but we always see the mastermind. This is the real Elliot.
coming back to this scene after the series finale blows my mind at how truly planned out the whole show was. rarely do we get to experience a story fully and exactly as the creator intended and that's what makes mr. robot so special
This is one of the best beginnings to a show ever. And, what we all missed, is that the beginning of this show his character pretty much gives away the twist almost immediately. Such a brilliantly written TV show and clearly the part that catapulted this young man into stardom.
Rewatching this scene years after the first time, and a couple of years after finishing the finale, it makes you realize how amazing it is. Linking the finale to the very beginning, or vice versa, it's pretty genius. It gives this scene a more powerful meaning. That's so crazy.
@@petergusev999 They’re there to arrest one man. Contrary to popular belief, black hoodies don’t make you a suspect. Especially when police are apprehending a man as identifiable as Ron. Leaving a building as police turn up is not a suspicious activity especially if you can hear their sirens. It’s completely normal.
I love how he goes from “I refuse to pay you, I will _not_ give in” to as soon as he hears “anonymous tip” going “wait, how much do you want, I’ll pay I promise!” Phenomenal acting on all sides.
I saw this scene randomly with my best friend. We were hooked up, searching for more information about this new show. We used to have "Mr Robot saturdays" for marathons eating junk food, talking about hacking, society...and intimacy. Every moment, every ep, we watched it together, suffered, learned and loved with Elliot and other characters...like Trenton, god we loved Trenton. Time passed and she became my girlfriend. This show turned our minds into a mix of anxiety, curiosity and a delightful story. Thanks for this show Sam, we love you.
This was one of the strongest openings of any show, ever! You have to give props to both actors in this scene, as they both made this scene as exciting and memorable as it was. Shows need to pay attention to this opening...This is the proper way to grab viewers right from the opening. And, this show was able to keep their viewership with the same kind of exciting content. And sure, Rami Malek definitely made his bones on this show, but his talent carried him the rest of the way. Great scene from a great show!
@@matthewallen2273 If you're only going to watch one scene, this is the scene to watch! And, there should be nothing stopping you from seeing the whole thing, my friend. So, go ahead and indulge; it's worth the watch!
at 2:52 you can feel the anger in Eliot's voice even though he sounds very monotone even someone like himself feels rage towards this evil creature of a person
This opening scene was as good as I remember, having watched the entire series. I'm struck by how very bold it was -it tells an entire story arc (and very well) in 5 minutes, gives a large amount of main-character setup, thoroughly messes with audience expectations, and has a high intensity to it as well. It's incredibly dense in retrospect. I think the rest of the series more than lived up to it. Just incredible work.
I'm surprised how no one is mentioning that once what is revealed about Elliot near the end of the series that no wonder this was his first target on the show
@@madensmith7014 no clue. Just started watching the first Naruto and searched how many episodes “baruto naruto new generation” there are and google pops up and says “who killed naruto”
I really hope more and more people will discover this show, I'll admit the long stretches between seasons did make certain things hard to follow at times. And I would usually rewatch every season right before the next one came out. Now that you can just watch one episode a day or binge it in a week, you will probably be able to catch things more easily. I will say it was a smart choice to have the first episode be filmed in an almost David Fincher kind of way before they created their own language with the camera to tell this story. The pilot is so good that it will hook you in and you will likely not notice that things have changed until you are about halfway through the season, and even then you believe that part of it is because they are trying to show with the camera how the drugs are affecting Elliot's mind. So when you get to season 2 you are just used to that this is the look of the show. A friend of mine recently started to watch and I can't wait for her to get to the silent episode, how that episode has not been deconstructed as a masterclass in show don't tell by video essayists is beyond me.
Probably because Buffy the vampire slayer did the same thing, "Hush" in season 3. I think it won an Emmy for it and was such a watershed moment in TV so no doubt that they took the idea. Which is fine, people do that all the time in art but just saying but Buffy was very influential. Don't particularly care for it now that I'm older but still.
@@jazzercise300 He was very open that he stole from pretty much everyone. He followed the old saying "steal from everyone and it's called research, steal from one and you are just a thief." Don't remember that episode of Buffy but it's been over a decade since I saw it. I was just very impressed by the fact that I did not notice that the episode was silent until there was actual dialog by the end.
@@firstlast9846 right? I remember playing Until Dawn when it came out and after finishing it I went to the iMDb page and had to look up what my boy had done up until then. I saw that Mr. Robot had aired two episodes or something and this amazing journey started there :')
This is one of the best opening scenes to any show I've seen. I remember the first time I saw it, the pilot was airing on TV that day and I had no clue what show it was, but I watched this scene and immediately knew it would be amazing. What's striking is that Elliot comes off like this total weirdo with these alien mannerisms and terrifying stare in his eyes, and yet his actions are utterly heroic. It's a great way of introducing him as this bizarre yet deeply sympathetic character to spend the rest of the show with.
I'm so glad to have found this show and finished it in my life. The bloopers were just the cherry on top. I needed this to get through the past few months. Thank you everyone to the cast, crew director and producers (I know its you Christian and sometimes Rami too lmao)
This is the best show I have ever seen, start to finish. I watched the entire series nearly three times. Masterful storytelling, acting, and everything in between. Excellent show!
This scene is even more powerful once you’ve watched the show all the way through. Oddly enough, this scene has more foreshadowing than any other scene in season 1.
This is the scene that hooked me to this show. I just recently finished season 4 and I can safely conclude that Mr. Robot is probably the best show I've ever watched. I highly recommend it to anyone who is in cybersecurity, or really just a tech nerd in general. 100/10.

Nah, I think it flew under the radar more than going over people's heads. I recall in Australia, it was on a streaming service which was absolutely terrible in both quality of service and steaming selection (I don't recall what it was called, but I really wasn't surprised to hear that it didn't last long), and then I don't have a clue where Mr. Robot ended up after that. I've only seen the first two season because of that. But yes, it was a great show, but it never really scored mainstream popularity, and I think that may have been to do with availability.
This scene is really telling given the huge twist we learn in Season 4 (if you know, you know). Sam Esmail knew where his story was headed, ultimately, and this scene confirms that.
yeah he's so desperate to cling onto something that will spare him of getting what's coming to him. The whole time he's dumbfounded, wondering who tf is this kid and how does he know so much life-ruining info about him, and as predictable as it sounds, the second Elliot mentions something that makes him seem vulnerable, he visibly goes "eureka, this is what I will cling onto" and tries to seem empathetic, "i feel your pain, we're both human, see these tears? please don't utterly ruin my life" and then he starts crying, as a silent way to beg without actually saying it, but Elliot doesn't react with empathy, so he jumps to the next conclusion: blackmail - so he gathers whatever little courage he has left to pull the macho act, in a really pitiful attempt to show Elliot he has the upper hand... obviously this is completely worthless because Elliot isn't doing this neither to find an ally, to blackmail or for a reward... what's most impressive about his scene is that it's literally the first episode but you're already getting a massive foreshadow of what's to come, and the actual subconscious motive that brought elliot to take Ron down
Sad to know this kind of stuff doesn't happen in real life. Hackers could do a better job in order to save humanity. Great powers comes great responsibilities.
White hat hackers do exist, but it's underground same as Elliott. If they publicise their methods and/or actions it gets harder to do. If you want something on a similar vein, channels like Scam Baiter and Jim Browning post videos on their hacks against scam callers. You'll also see that their videos are shared between call centers and makes their work harder.

That is considered masterful manipulating? I thought that was too obvious and desperate.
If anyone is wondering, everything Elliot described when talking about hacking is actually pretty accurate and realistic

Definitely one of the best
And then the story fell flat
@@blacknight1313 Wouldn't say it fell flat, more got way too muddied. The story remains intact for the majority of the show, note, I have not finished the show, got most of season 4 to finish. But I have to say, later on in the series, I'd say it started with season 3, the story becomes too vast, too many subplots going on to keep track of. Whenever a character would say something that I am supposed to understand, I never understood what they actually said until an episode later, your just given so many words you've never heard, given at least 6 stories to keep track of and it leaves the mid to end part of the story overly muddy and too hard to keep track of.
The story was still good, just not told in the best way.
Agree 100%. This and maybe the newsroom, for me are the best opening for a tv show

"I did not hurt anyone"

Yeah! I was 14 and the only reason I watched the first few episodes (this is when the 1st season had come out) was because the Kali Linux blog mentioned that Elliot uses it on a daily basis. Fast forward to when the last season released: I completed it and was in awe at the sheer awesomeness of the show and its filmmaking and how accurately it showed technology (they had to use software and hardware released in 2015 throughout the 4 seasons)! Now it is among my favourite shows!

@@Sakboi2012 It stays within the tor network, an exit node is never needed, the show implies that he somehow intercepted the traffic on the local coffee shop network, through one way or another as a man in the middle, but TOR is built specifically to counter that so yeah that’s “unrealistic”, the only way he could be doing what he’s saying is to get remote code execution on the box itself, which what law enforcement agencies actually do.

I like how Elliot calls him by his original name to go with his symbolic unmasking. It really solidifies with Ron that Elliot can't be bullshitted with
I did the same thing to an ID thief at my old job. Dude kept on using his stolen identity to purchase orders and call me (I work customer service) but I refused to call him that and insisted on referring to him by his real name, basically implying that I have all his real, verified info including all his work contacts (that I gathered through legally and morally questionable means, of course) and I'm not one to be BS'd with.

Both actors are incredible convincing. Idk if it’s hard or not, but can’t imagine playing a character with a mental condition, toppled with social anxiety must be pretty hard to do lmao.
The actor who also played Ron is also very good. His body language does most of the talking in this scene. He’s seeing a potential end to his entire life and his looking and any angle, desperately, to try to take control or even negotiate his way out of this one.

For the longest time, I thought it was a teen romance with sci-fi elements for some inexplicable reason... I ended up watching it out of pure boredom and it was the best decision I have ever made.

He was also taking this matter very personally because of his past. He harbors a profound hatred for pedophiles.

Probably the best opener to a tv show, wasn't sure about it at first but after this scene it had me absolutely hooked. I also immediately related to Elliots character as the introverted loner type which isn't something you see often as a main character.
It makes sense why it the first. If you watched the ending
being introverted is cringe. go outside loser
The Mastermind wanted to confront Rohit in person, not to work on his social skills, but because subconsciously he's aware of the sexual abuse Elliot endured as a child, so was compelled to seek out the satisfaction of looking his surrogate abuser in the eye as he delivered justice without yet understanding why.
It's great when a talented show-runner knows exactly the story he wants to tell from the very start.

I like the look on Ron's face, when Rami told him about his father. The look actually indicates that he might get through to Rami, and make him forgive him, or at least make the situation negotiable.
It's incredibly-subtle acting, but so damn effective. He sees a potenti angle to exploit to try and negotiate his way out, so tries to appeal to Elliot, make himself seem more human and understanding.
Wasn't sure if I was the only one who noticed that or not... it was like the only thing he could try to exploit
What I love the most about this show is that they don't "dumb down" the tech talk, it's actually accurate. For the most part.
True, people think that anonymous mode or TOR will protect you but oh boyy they would be surprised.
@@ExtremeMan10 tbf it used to
@@mryellow6918 it still does protect you very well, or atleast as long as you're not against some heavily/goverment funded adversary, tor itself uses 3 layered encryption which starts at your browser and ends at either exit node or at the webserver itself if it's a dedicated onion webserver, and even when it ends at the exit node your connection is still encrypted by TLS/SSH basically HTT/PS.
The way Elliot compromised the server in this video is pretty simple, he didn't really exploit the onion routing at all. In a dedicated onion server the server is actually the exit node or the last node. The server itself was directly connected to the lan in the cafe(basically being hosted there), and everyone on the cafe's wifi was on the same connection as the server. All Elliot did was to find out that a server existed on the network (most probably due to the high bandwidth usage) and then he was able to compromise it by probably exploiting one of the plethora of pre-existing server vulnerabilities.
And, looking at the existing ( or atleast known ) attack vectors of the Onion Routing framework there exists only a few. The more known one being "Exit Node MITM Attack", which could be easily avoided by using HTT/PS based websites as your traffic would be encrypted by PMS even after leaving the exit node, and SSL downgrades are blocked by most browsers, and while there exists "SSL certificate attacks", they could only be carried by someone who has access to be able to create a Certificate from a trusted certificate authority, again that being possibly only possible for the government.
And the other one being controlling the Entry and exit nodes(and if possible the node in between too as while it's technically possible to correlate metadata between entry and exit nodes, it's a tedious and could not work sometimes if the traffic is high on the nodes.), But then again for that you basically need to operate a large number of onion routing nodes, which basically translates to high financial ability, which is only possible for very heavily funded organizations. Such as government.
@@ExtremeMan10 Never knew that anonymous mode was to protect, it was simply made to keep stuff away from your history, cache, temporary directory, autocomplete, keeping stuff separate from plugins and possibly to enforce a few policies like disabling screen capture and restrict memory access to other processes. Other than that it doesn't do much. Also tor is still secure as long as you're either not dumb enough to frick your Opsec or are being targeted by some NSA level organization.
@@wrockd What I mean by it is that what you view in Anonymous mode is still visible to your operator or internet provider, so it wont protect you. I dont judge people on what they relief themselves on, as long as its fiction Im not judging but if it was, lets say "real" and rest I dont think I need to write then police would be on you in that very instant.
Only time I use anon mode is when using source code without cookies saving on my main browser but yea you are right, when you mess up one small thing on tor and you are done.

Is it on Netflix? I started watching it since 2015. It is not Netflix Original though.
Best series for programmers
No one will regret this
And pentesters too
@@thugelchapo7998you know any other series related like those? (pentester etc..)
@@Injvred- there is some movies, but they like "press enter to hack"
@@Injvred- I don't know any series, but I know a movie called Whoami that is also realistic
@@thugelchapo7998 whoami is confusing as mr robot does too lmao (even mr robot eps 4x12 is titled whoami)
5 years ago, this show inspired me to start learning about cybersecurity. Now, im close to graduating with a BS in Cybersec
He is the perfect definition of "I cannot be bought, I cannot be bullied into what you want and because of that, I absolutely terrify you."
Superman said something like that, but nicer.
Elliott having _already called the cops_ reminds me of Veidt. "I already did it twenty minutes ago."
I really hope more and more people will discover this show, I'll admit the long stretches between seasons did make certain things hard to follow at times. And I would usually rewatch every season right before the next one came out. Now that you can just watch one episode a day or binge it in a week, you will probably be able to catch things more easily.
I will say it was a smart choice to have the first episode be filmed in an almost David Fincher kind of way before they created their own language with the camera to tell this story. The pilot is so good that it will hook you in and you will likely not notice that things have changed until you are about halfway through the season, and even then you believe that part of it is because they are trying to show with the camera how the drugs are affecting Elliot's mind. So when you get to season 2 you are just used to that this is the look of the show.
A friend of mine recently started to watch and I can't wait for her to get to the silent episode, how that episode has not been deconstructed as a masterclass in show don't tell by video essayists is beyond me.
Probably because Buffy the vampire slayer did the same thing, "Hush" in season 3. I think it won an Emmy for it and was such a watershed moment in TV so no doubt that they took the idea. Which is fine, people do that all the time in art but just saying but Buffy was very influential. Don't particularly care for it now that I'm older but still.
@@jazzercise300 He was very open that he stole from pretty much everyone. He followed the old saying "steal from everyone and it's called research, steal from one and you are just a thief." Don't remember that episode of Buffy but it's been over a decade since I saw it. I was just very impressed by the fact that I did not notice that the episode was silent until there was actual dialog by the end.
We needed a season 5, but I'm not complaining. Mr. Robot turned Rami Malek into a leading man and ended up being one of the best TV shows of all time.
We don't. The series ended amazingly.
13/1/22: I agree w Malek being a leading actor and Mr Robot being amazing, but everything else is a no
Nah Until Dawn turned him into a leading guy - - guy outshined everyone’s performance in that game.
@@firstlast9846 right? I remember playing Until Dawn when it came out and after finishing it I went to the iMDb page and had to look up what my boy had done up until then. I saw that Mr. Robot had aired two episodes or something and this amazing journey started there :')
I came here from "Mamaaa"
@@firstlast9846 Psh, it's all about Night at the Museum. What's an "Until Dawn" or a "Mr. Robot" to "Night at the Museum 1-3?" Lol.
This was one of the best ways to open a series, instantly fell in love with the storyline
This is one of the best opening scenes to any show I've seen. I remember the first time I saw it, the pilot was airing on TV that day and I had no clue what show it was, but I watched this scene and immediately knew it would be amazing. What's striking is that Elliot comes off like this total weirdo with these alien mannerisms and terrifying stare in his eyes, and yet his actions are utterly heroic. It's a great way of introducing him as this bizarre yet deeply sympathetic character to spend the rest of the show with.
This was the start of the rabbit hole, and dang it was a hell of an experience. Great show
you have no idea ... look up Epsteins flight manifests .. then you can go down a REAL rabbit hole ... do it for the children ...
I'm so glad to have found this show and finished it in my life. The bloopers were just the cherry on top. I needed this to get through the past few months. Thank you everyone to the cast, crew director and producers (I know its you Christian and sometimes Rami too lmao)
Had Raimi opened his eyes a little wider, I feared that they would just pop out.
He is an Arab Christian, they are persecuted in Arabia
This is the best show I have ever seen, start to finish. I watched the entire series nearly three times. Masterful storytelling, acting, and everything in between. Excellent show!
what a terrible taste
I love that Mr Robot is actually accurate about the hack techniques
This scene is even more powerful once you’ve watched the show all the way through. Oddly enough, this scene has more foreshadowing than any other scene in season 1.
i worked for a company that logged and shut down cp sites, i quit after a year, and it took 5 years of therapy to deal with it
This is the scene that hooked me to this show. I just recently finished season 4 and I can safely conclude that Mr. Robot is probably the best show I've ever watched. I highly recommend it to anyone who is in cybersecurity, or really just a tech nerd in general. 100/10.
I've never seen the show but this just really makes me smile, we need more hackers like Elliot
Yeah in this scene he's doing everyone a favor. The collapsing the world economy part of the show is a bit different though
@@frankegordon326 Yeah. People seem to lock into one thing. Even when they were attempting to erase the "Global debt" that had it's own major issues people were overlooking as if it was some magical idea. For instance, the people whom lost all their money as there was no record of the bank having it, sure it helped quite a lot of people, it also destroyed as many lives.
Many of them are like him. Their stories are unheard though.
@@sammyhonerd677 destroyed lives? No it only helped people, people with massive debts were freed from it and were much happier, and rich people just got humbled and put on the same level as everyone else. True equality
"it scratched that part of my mind, part that doesn’t allow good to exist without a condition",
after the final episode almost everything what Elliot says can be treated either as a foreshadowing, or as an important part of his character development
After learning what his father did to him, this scene hits harder
what did he do? i know he pushed him
@@muddisaedi7450 Wait until season 4 episode 7 "407: Proxy Authentication Required"

@@muddisaedi7450 Let's just say a lot of scenes, and dialogues from seasons 1-3 will change meaning and make a lot more sense once you see season 4 episode 7

@@prankstereddy SPOILERS!!!
later revealed that elliot's father (edward) sexually molested him, that's why he created mr robot in form of his father to be coping mechanism "you're father that i wanted, not father that i had"
and that window scene, actually mr robot trying to protect darlene and elliot from edward that being mad (forget why) and the only way out is jump out of the window
Bro I just fucking served Rami a beer in my local pub SUPER unexpectedly and had a full blown conversation with him like a normal human being. Guy is a great character and was so chilled and wanted to relax from a long day no doubt. Best moment of my life by far.
Hands down the best introduction to any show I've ever seen. Got me hooked from start to finish.
When you rewatch this scene, you can understand the last season about elliot ... it was a big spoiler at first, but we passed it and enjoy it.
The actor playing Ron is unbelievable! Truly very under-rated!
This is one of the best shows ever made and people rarely talk about it. I think it went over a lot of people’s heads, sadly.
Nah, I think it flew under the radar more than going over people's heads.
I recall in Australia, it was on a streaming service which was absolutely terrible in both quality of service and steaming selection (I don't recall what it was called, but I really wasn't surprised to hear that it didn't last long), and then I don't have a clue where Mr. Robot ended up after that. I've only seen the first two season because of that.
But yes, it was a great show, but it never really scored mainstream popularity, and I think that may have been to do with availability.
@@blakesby the first 3 seasons are on Stan and the 4th is on binge and binge is awful
Brilliant scene the spark in his eyes when Ron says it's his personal life is genius. Almost indecipherable but some disgust escapes.
I don't think I've ever seen such a well-written show as this one, ever.
breaking bad

This scene is really telling given the huge twist we learn in Season 4 (if you know, you know). Sam Esmail knew where his story was headed, ultimately, and this scene confirms that.

@@krakeronkrak4365Nope, that’s revealed in s1 not s4. He’s referring to the *SPOILERS*
fact that his dad molested him as a child
3:48 he's acting nice in hoping that Elliot would show him mercy
yeah he's so desperate to cling onto something that will spare him of getting what's coming to him. The whole time he's dumbfounded, wondering who tf is this kid and how does he know so much life-ruining info about him, and as predictable as it sounds, the second Elliot mentions something that makes him seem vulnerable, he visibly goes "eureka, this is what I will cling onto" and tries to seem empathetic, "i feel your pain, we're both human, see these tears? please don't utterly ruin my life"
and then he starts crying, as a silent way to beg without actually saying it, but Elliot doesn't react with empathy, so he jumps to the next conclusion: blackmail - so he gathers whatever little courage he has left to pull the macho act, in a really pitiful attempt to show Elliot he has the upper hand... obviously this is completely worthless because Elliot isn't doing this neither to find an ally, to blackmail or for a reward... what's most impressive about his scene is that it's literally the first episode but you're already getting a massive foreshadow of what's to come, and the actual subconscious motive that brought elliot to take Ron down
I like the catatonic tone that elliot speaks in. Its almost like he's a computer himself trying to process human emotions.
Sad to know this kind of stuff doesn't happen in real life. Hackers could do a better job in order to save humanity. Great powers comes great responsibilities.
White hat hackers do exist, but it's underground same as Elliott. If they publicise their methods and/or actions it gets harder to do.
If you want something on a similar vein, channels like Scam Baiter and Jim Browning post videos on their hacks against scam callers. You'll also see that their videos are shared between call centers and makes their work harder.
Anonymous takes down pedos daily from my understanding
You could do a better job at educating yourself or you might end up saying things the make you look stupid
There are plenty of “good hackers” out there. They just don’t need accolades so won’t brag about who they took down or what they did at parties.
Hahaha you can’t save humanity. Humans are doomed for self destruction it’s only a matter of time
Mr. Robot is the best piece of art I've ever seen! I'm in love with this masterpiece, man.
I'm glad this show shows that hackers fail multiple times before they are successful
this is the greatest show ever created to me.... the ending was one of the most beautiful thought provoking tragic concepts I've ever been apart of... truly... this show and every actor and actress is beyond amazing
This was the clip that really got me into watching Mr. Robot. I just finished watching and I cannot describe how awesome it was. 10/10
Pilot episode was the best.
Each episode was best
@Xrew but his real name is Rohit Mehta he changed it to Ron when he bought his first coffee shop 6 years ago. Now he got 17 of them with 8 more coming next quarter.
I don't think you know what a pilot episode is
@@thugelchapo7998 Why is that?
It's the start of the best series ever!
100 TBs, y’all know how much memory that can hold. That’s 25 million photos or 50 thousand hours worth of CP. And its sad that even though it’s just a show there are some actually sick people out there that do that stuff
