''We're in.''
HE SAID IT. HE SAID THE THING.
Hackerman
Oh, how I cringe when they say THE THING. Same reaction as fingernails on a chalkboard. Ugh.
When running the villain's code for the first time, make sure you always use a computer that is conveniently connected to your intranet and has access to the internal security system.
hahaha
blimey.. perhaps the producers of this movie didnt know this? such a shame
Y...si.Q metio la pata👓🎓📩💻.Uno piensa en tanta gente muerta despues...y😎bue.😆Es fantasy🎭🃏🎥📹.
Sadly it is very difficult to really disconnect every point of connection from a singular terminal to the network. As the connection would be established over the power line.
@@sebastianzietara4018 that would be very cool, to connect over the power line. But, as you can see at 0:40, Q is clearly using standard ethernet.
“Can you get past them?”
“I invented them.”
Immediately gets hacked
Q was such a fraud in this movie
"Can somebody tell us how the hell he hacked us?"
Well maybe because you plugged in an unknown device with access to your entire server, mr hackerman
*"NOT SUCH A CLEVER BOY"*
For a movie that took place in 2012, the directors had a really LOW understanding of how hacking would work. Also, how is Q supposed to be a tech genius but missed the most basic lesson of never connecting an unknown object to your network and much less giving it access lmao
Because the movie would have ended shortly after this scene. Can't have that.
@@TheTallMan50or have better writing?
he learned by no time to die.
But I agree, it's one of the golden rules. NEVER EVER plug an unknown and unapproved device into the network like that.
@@XighorNah you're not a writer
@@jesseowenvillamor6348doesn't take a writer to recognise bad writing, my friend. I may not be a chef, but I can tell when the food is burned
Q missed the most basic lesson in security. The most secure computer is one that is completely disconnected from any network and totally powered down to all its components.
*Air gapped
@@heydonlam5936 And bashed to bits with a flaming sledgehammer
This entire scene is unrealistic.
@@solidwaterslayer It’s “James Bond”. He would be an alcoholic with herpes and ghonnorhea and syphilis if they were trying to make it look “real”.
he is obviously not even A+ certified.
Skyfall was in 2012? Man I feel really old now
@@cenderawasihhh no mate, this was two years after the release of skyfall, which was in 2012 😃
Wow, how time flies!
How about now? 12 years later..
When you see a G in a hexadecimal editor...you know there’s something wrong and it’s for Hollywood lol
or plain english text when you are looking for the Hash value of a password. He is not such a clever boy.
or by just taking a look at the interface that’s being shown. This is the graphical interface ‘hackers’ use obviously
You have some of the brightest computer savants in there, and it takes James to solve the puzzle? Oh please.
Fuck it. The visual interface is not true. Its generally a black and white screen. + you couldn't open them doors without knowing the variables and that should be encrypted using salted hashing. Polymorphic code is a real thing though. I work in cybersecurity in pens testing.
The intuitive insight of the uninformed outsider. Come on... it's a classic trope!
It's the classic "can't see the forest for the trees" idea. Yes they're experts, but they're analyzing the data bit by bit, looking for patterns they recognize. Bond is just standing there with his hands in his pockets watching, but he's taking in the whole scene because that's all he can do. It's not unheard of for an expert who's hyper-focused on something that's his particular specialty to completely miss something that the casual observer notices immediately.
Issa film
That was the meant to be broken easily to gain access to thier connections.
make sure the computer has a s**t tonne of code flowing on the screen otherwise it’s not hacking! and you must have animated GUI to,
The fuck I work in cybersecurity. The visual interface is not realistic
@@FavFriedChicken But it'd be pretty sweet if it was right?
@@FavFriedChicken a polymorphic engine? As a software developer I can confirm that that is a load of fffffffffff
@@hhhharis622 Its not. Its a dated term for polymorphic viruses. Way back in past, computer malware used to "infect" executables. Ofcourse now with signed assemblies and binaries it wont work but back in the day with unsigned executables malware could just append or insert itself in the executable. So one way to detect and remove it was by searching for patterns unique to the malware called signature. The malware writers started writing self modifying code which could produce many different but functionally equivalent copies. These were polymorphic viruses. The code which can give this ability to any malware was called "polymorphic engine". An example will be VCL or Virus Creation Laboratory. Its old outdated and useless now. Those days are long gone.
@@MrRaizada wow thanks for a great response!
"not such a clever boy" I love this
Rubik's cubes that fight back would be the most frustrating toy in existence
I'm surprised Q wasn't fired for this
After that I didn't trust Q's computer abilities anymore.
He had to undertake a cybersecurity training course for sure
I'm studying IT and in my networking security class, they teach us that no system will never be fully secure, instead of pointing fingers, we're taught to keep everything running even if there is a breach and document the incident
The music in this film is just phenomenal.
Especially in this scene, it just matches perfectly.
Poor Q, Silva didnt hack them, Q hacked them for him!!
I do love the smirk James with Q at his offhanded comment about designing the system.
Now he knows, don’t connect a known enemy’s laptop to the mainframe of mi5 lol
so thats why my friends I insist you to use a VPN
TODAYS VIDEO SPONSER "NORD...
*tells cool dialogues*
*also plugs a possibly rogue system into the Secure Mi6 network*
*3:31** ''NOT SUCH A CLEVER BOY 💀''.*
Oh, shit. Shit, shit, shit. (Sighs) He hacked us.
Ah, if only MI6 used NordVPN.
Lol this movie was made in 2012 NordVPN wasn´t even a "thing" back then
Or VMWare
I am laughing at this
Yeah this is the way before VPM to became real popular
@@joseqmedina101nord was found in 2012
"Can someone tell me how the hell he got into our system?!" - I would have thought that was fairly obvious Q..............
He plugged the computer in himself... lmfao
"He hacked us!" No, he didn't! You did this to yourself when you plugged an infected computer into your intranet!
Where Q goes s**t x3 makes me go nuts
Ben Wishaw would be a brilliant Doctor Who...
(1:11) "Looks like obfuscated code to conceal its true purpose. - security through obscurity"
Works also perfectly in real life :)
It's notoriously the weakest form of security.
when hacking in movies still doesn't make any sense ^^
You don't really see so many computer hacking specialist people in one comment section . I feel blessed around these specialist 😁
Most of the keyboard warriors just like show themselves as experts. They think people from bond production don't know anyone who understand hacking or anything. None of these keyboard warriors could make such a film which could reach such wider audience in the world.
1:40 *"Going somewhere?"*
Silva: "😈" Lmao! 😂.
Damn it, Q, talk about a rookie mistake.
If you want to do analysis, you do it on a computer that isn’t connected to the network.
The more I get into computer science, the more annoyed I am at the comments. You really want to see a realistic hack? Because it’s boring. This is actually one of my favorite, not too comic and cool visuals. Not realistic, but unless you want to watch a movie explain Sql injections, this is a really cool way to explain it to audiences.
Plus, we don’t know if the computer is actually connected. It might be a secure network but there was some vulnerability that broke past the firewall. Heck, maybe he left a back door when he first worked at mi6 which could allow access from that secure network to the main one which q didn’t know about. Stop complaining about realism, if you want realism, go watch a hacking documentary.
You arent wrong tbf
I think worst thing is that the the terminology and explanations are misleading. Maybe it doesn't matter since people shouldn't be using info in a movie seriously to safeguard their real life computers.
It looks cool but shatters the realism for the tech savvy audience and even others. After all, I think most people would say "eehh, that's a bit cheesy" that MI6 was hacked since they carelessly researched a potentially dangerous device, providing it even a little access to internet/network.
They should've taken your ideas to explain the hack, like there was already a backdoor. That would satisfy everybody in the audience!
Most of these keyboard warriors can't make such a film which could reach wider audience. They are always ready to find faults in the film. The biggest obvious point is to show that silva wanted Q to open the drive.
Mr Robot was great and way more realistic.
It's just a matter of not taking your audience for braindead springles.
I wouldn't necessarily care about realism if they just thought of another way than making Q a moron. Maybe a traitor supplied Silva the WiFi password. Anything so it's not an idiot plot
That's what MI6 deserves for hiring the lead singer of The 1975 for its Quartermaster!!
People have a go at Q but it was bond who spotted the underground station name which started it all.
Someone was going to find it
I love how Hollywood thinks this is what hacking is. Also, you can't just hack into an intelligence agency's security system. Lmao.
Maybe you can’t, newblord😎
My hacking station has over 1GB of RAM
Didn't the Russians do that to America?
Depicted as It is ....would had Been Boring as shit....
writing "you can't just hack into an intelligence agency's security system" not long after Russians hacked basically every American agency and noone knew for months....
You can't expect much from a series whose original author stole a ton of ideas.
so you're telling me that Q is hailed as some tech genius and prodigy only to run unknown code on an unknown computer that he plugged directly into the local network and internal security services? Bro's brain is smoother than a bowling ball
A subplot of this movie is the hubris that is imbedded within MI6. Q thought he was better and his hubris led to the breach. I do not think the writers did a great job of pointing this out as it happens multiple times.
@@BillybillybillyrockingThis and the Last Jedi have idiot plots, evil triumphs because good is dumb.
He didn't hack them, he used the hallmark arrogance of MI6 in the 007 world against them.
Solving a rubix cube that fights back!
-I'm taking that 1
“I invented them”
Power move and a half
idk...
- can this security system be broken?
- ofcourse, i invented it
@@romanrutkowski331That shouldn't make it any easier to break it. That's what not relying on "security by obscurity" means. Linux kernel developers shouldn't be able to root a Linux box they're not authorized to any easier than anyone else.
Q is hte type of guy who would open a exe file called "notavirus" and wonder why his files are all encrypted
3:25 uh, I’m no IT genius but it might have something to do with that computer you just plugged into your network
00:39 for someone who supposed to be so smart, why would you directly hook up a computer like that directly into the company's Network....🙄
That's what happens when writers that probably think Google is the throughway to the Internet and have a bunch of those spammy taskbars installed are tasked with writing a tech savvy character. All they had to do was write this scenario on some sysadmin forum or subreddit, and they'd have been bombarded with reasons that it would fail and what they should do (aka have Q do) instead.
you'd think that a program that opens all doors in a facility, you'd think the prison door would be somewhere else.
But yeah for an organisation like MI5/6, you'd be frogmarched out the door for a move like that.
Q really didn't think to establish a virtual machine beforehand? Lmao
Should've used a virtual machine.
MI6 should have been well funded enough to afford few throwaway workstation and internet connection isolated from their own network... Alas, they spend all their money in 1970s to 2000s on flying cars etc. Now a day they can only afford a gun and a radio -- minimal! Not exactly christmas.
@@MrRaizada Well after all of that the computer screen says: “Not such a clever boy” which is of course directed at Q. The movie established before hand that Q was indeed quite cocky such as when he says: “I could do more damage on my laptop in my pyjamas before I’ve had my first cup of Earl grey.” and “Only 6 people in the world could program safe guards like this. I invented them.” MI6 most likely did have isolated system he could’ve decrypted it on but, as Silva said, “not such a clever boy”.
@@thepolitegamer1966 Indeed! Q forgot if you can talk to a machine, the machine can also talk to your machine. LOL!
What amuses and frustrates me is how easily they could have foiled his escape if they'd put him in a cell with an ordinary, non-electronic lock. Just because we've got all this advanced technology doesn't mean the old methods aren't still useful.
Or not plug his laptop into the same network that controls all your doors?
@@oliverford5367 Yes, but that wouldn't have mattered if there was an ordinary lock on the cell door. Sometimes we overlook the simplest solutions.
He was ready to blame someone.
I have this theory: That Baron Samedi appears on the Craig films but as a constant pressence. Like in the opening of Spectre when 007 is dressed up as a skull with a hat or the Silva's hacking animation in Skyfall. I have to rewatch the first two to see if there are little nods.
Although Granborough Road is a disused Metropolitan Line station, it certainly wouldn't show up on a map of subterranean London, as it's over 40 miles outside London!
Brilliant move Q. Allowing a foreign laptop into your network. Not like you could have put it in a honeypot or a separate network.
Q’s line sound like a student from the high school writers team wrote it. He’s hacking me, we’ve been hacked, he’s a hacker .. lmao what is this
“Not such a clever boy.”
I love that part where Silvia's stretching with a devious look on his face. Brilliant 😂
2:40 Do they even know that hexadecimal numbers only go from 0 to F? I'd be terrified to see a G in there...
After the great Desmond Llewellyn, this Q is a favourite of mine because of how much he says a certain word beginning with S....
This sort of thing amuses me so much. Even if - and it is a very big if - Silva could program some hidden code to hack MI6's systems once they plugged his computer into their network, nowhere has all their door locks controlled by a hackable computer network.
This is why every high security location on the planet, from nuclear silos to Number 10, have physical keys and a sturdy lock. We've never come up with anything better.
You don't want a jail that lets it's prisoners out every time there's a power cut, a fuse shorts out, or someone hacks the network.
I also love that Hollywood thinks this is what hacking is. This is just as realistic as the movie _Hackers_ with it's "TYPE COOKIES!"
Facebook/Meta does. When they had a BGP/DNS outage they couldn't get onto their own buildings easily as key cards required Facebook servers.
1. I don't care how much money I'd make. I am not playing a digital security specialist and saying "I'm/We're in." It's as gauche at this point as "Zoom and Enhance," or "As you know."
2. Everyone else already covered it. Thank God so many people saw it at once. MI6. Brightest minds of the country. And you aren't metaphorically flipping switches in the dark in a darkness you know to be hostile ON AN AIR GAPED SYSTEM.
But that's less character incompetence and more writer Boomerism, so, I'll let it pass.
This time.
A few gigabytes of RAM should do the trick...
literally the stupidest thing you can do. Why plug a potentially dangerous machine into your own network? And wouldn't firewalls have at least done something to stop it?
I needed some perfume
*Dennis Nedry (from Jurassic Park):* Ah Ah Ah! You didn't say the magic word!
*Q (James Bond series):* He hacked us.
Anybody else think that Helen mccrory sounds like Umbridge lol
Zhu Li, do the thing!
Zhu Li: 0:50
Should have tried to turn it off and on again
RIP Helen. So sad you're no longer here to dazzle us with your elegance.
@TheSGFGamer 🤣 2 yrs later. Helen McRory. Actress in Skyfall who died ..... cpl yrs ago 🤣
RIP Helen McCrory.
Crazy to think that this film was released in 2012. Also sad to realize that Craig officially retired from the Bond role after No Time to Die.
I think my journey as a 007 fan has cone to an end.
This Q is a quota hire.
A good thing he learns better in the next two movies.
Laws of hacking scenes in movies. It must have visuals and turn red when got hacked.
I love this scene
Bond: ‘Go in on that’
Q: ‘Can you be a little more specific look at this fucking thing’
bond is famously telepathic
so he is some massive computer genius and he just plugs the villains computer into his own network like that?
doesnt take a genius to use some elementary failsafes like vpns, VMs etc.
what an absolute bullshit scene
Q should have gone incognito
Security through obscurity
Paddington bear said shit
Q forgot to turn on his NordVPN
I've just found a USB stick lying around in McDonald's. Q, should I plug it in and take a look?
Narcissa and Voldemort in a bond movie together!?
LOL this is like computer security 101
This was a horribly thought-out concepted scene and executed - high school computer classes teach this as what not to do
High school computer classes won't however have Granborough in hex 😅
The prime minister in this movie is a snob nobody talks to M like that
This movie was a complete trainwreck, yet I remember lots of people saying it was good.
Let's Enhance!
Dam isn’t Paddington good with code cracking 😊
When you forget to use incognito mode
I don’t care what y’all say abt Q being stupid and this scene being unrealistic (even though you’re probably right) , an attack on Q is an attack on me fr..😞💔💔
My favourite part
Over confidence ... Hacked! ... Ohh no fu......
Going Somewhere 😂😂😂
Ok the writers are obviously the most stupid. But say it was real, then Silva’s plan to hack the servers by assuming they would connect his laptop was dumb. But then the fact that MI6 does, is so dumb.
And then the question “can someone tell me how the hell he gained access” lol what? Do these people even work with IT? 🤦♂️
2:40 “grn br”
I created the tetris.
connects potential compromised device to corporate network.
biggest IT rookie blunder,
Silva would have been stuffed if they had but in a metal jail cell e
I know Victor Krum I have a basic understanding of coding. Only language I know is python. But don’t do anything stupid and reckless pls the human shields (your neighbour) might die
Its what happens when you’re using Windows and not MacOS. You get hacked
That is because there is nothing to hack on MacOS. Expensive piece of plastic that has only half the power at best compared to cheaper windows computers. Oh, and good luck running specific programs on Mac, the last time I checked you guys need exclusive versions since your apple club is "exclusive" ;)
@@LakituKoopa let me guess. You have never tried an Apple device right? Actually all the programs work fine on my M1 processor. And the macbook is far from plastic its more like metal
@@dimitarpetkov4442 tried more than enough to know that students with macbooks have difficulties to connect with projectors and that people who try to repair them are in hell since they nearly can't open those things.
Its because the projectors are shitty not the macbook
@@dimitarpetkov4442 well not shitty enough to work with any other device. And it happened in 5 unis I stayed. Every single time. No one wanted to work in group projects with mac users.
I am now very curious and wish to watch the whole thing
Thank you for all the views! this was really amazing ;)

This guy is supposed to be a genius 😮 even a level 1 network technican would have know better 🙄 than to connect a unknown laptop to MI6 network.
Really missed M

me trying a program crack feel like.
Lol
Noob hacker, this is why you use a Virtual Machine. A VM can be used to insulate your core systems from a hack.
