🔐Realistic portrayal of hacking industrial control systems
🚔Importance of offline prison networks for security
⏲️Persistence required in the face of failed attacks
🔍Detection risk when using known exploits
💻Alternative methods like reverse shells for network access
Why did the initial attack with the rubber ducky fail?
—The attack failed because it used a known exploit that was detected by the antivirus software.
Why did Elliot try to SSH into the system instead of using a reverse shell?
—While using a reverse shell is commonly preferred, the show portrayed SSH as a way to demonstrate hacking techniques within the prison's network context.
