Subject: [Linux] Matrix runs Un*x

Made it into the showing last night at Newark shopping center. There's this scene where Trinity needs to crack into a system. So what does she use?

nmap and ssh ::-)

What's funnier than the matrix running Un*x? The matrix runs unpatched Un*x! She's able to exploit one of the bugs in ssh V1 and get a root shell.
