If you get to watch It, I'd be Interested In reading your thoughts.
I've yet to come across someone who hasn't enjoyed It.
One of my favorites that's for sure.

So, I continued to watch this movie from where I left off, and they try to trace where Mitnick is chatting with a friend, and this is what they do, I just found it kinda funny.

I remember this scene, It was when Mitnick was In a Telnet session with a user named Jsz.
"Tracing" by pinging an IP?
Enough said.

Even if they just did a traceroute, it'd look a little more appealing.

Don't forget this was the 90's and internet connection was available only by Modem. Also there is some logic in the ping attempt to get Mitnick. The ISP provide devices that were connected and they ping to check if the ip was alive (This means that a internet connection was established).
1) Scan ISP subnet for all ips
2) Ping them to check who is alive
Well, this section of the forum needs a new hacker movie.
(What about the original?)

The problem with that scene, was they said "anyway of tracing"- with "tracing" being the operative word.
Establishing a connection Is one thing, tracing It's origin Is something else.

Actually.....there are some fun attacks you can do with that. They should very easily translate to the networking stack. Take a look at how KASLR slides are leaked through TLB caches. It uses a quasi-brute force "does it exist and is it active" methodology paired with a bunch of invalid accesses and compares the errors to each other in order to "triangulate" a specific symbol in a random space. Of course, the second stage of that attack would require something different for TCP, but the idea is still the same.

Clever.
The movie's depiction of tracing an IP solely via a ping ICMP echo request, couldn't be further from the truth.
