Kevin David Mitnick (Kevin David Mitnick, born in Los Angeles, USA in 1963), some critics call him the "number one computer hacker" in the world.
In the late 1970s, Mitnick became obsessed with radio technology when he was still in elementary school, and soon became a master in this area. Later, he quickly became fascinated by a computer in the community "primary school club", and learned superb computer expertise and operating skills there, until one day, the teachers discovered that he used his school’s computer to break into other schools. He had to drop out of school because of his network system. Some communities in the United States provide computer network services. In the community network where Mitnick is located, home computers are not only connected to companies and universities, but also to government departments. Of course, these computer domain gates will have passwords. At this time, an unusually bold plan was formed in Mitnick's mind. Since then, he tried to crack the high-level American military codes with patience and perseverance far beyond his age. Soon, Mitte, who was only 15 years old, broke into the computer mainframe of the North American Air Defense Command System. At the same time, some other friends rummaged through the data of all nuclear warheads directed to the former Soviet Union and its allies, and then slipped quietly. come out. This became a classic in the history of hackers.
The war game is a movie adapted from this life experience of Kevin Mitnick, but the movie articulates the story, increases the ups and downs of the plot and people's desire for peace, and increases its viewing.
Overall, this movie is still worth watching.

WarGames quotes

  • McKittrick: [McKittrick approaches Falken's group on stairs] I don't know what you think you can do here, Stephen.

    Stephen Falken: [suddenly noticing] John! Good to see you. I see the wife still picks your ties.

    McKittrick: What is- What has this kid been telling you?

    Stephen Falken: [looking at screens] How far's he gone?

    McKittrick: Well the President about ready to order a counterstrike. That's what we're recommending he do.

    Stephen Falken: It's a bluff, John, call it off.

    McKittrick: No, it's not a bluff. It's real.

    Stephen Falken: [raising his voice from stairs] Hello, General Beringer! Stephen Falken!

    General Beringer: [standing] Mr. Falken you picked a hell of a day for a visit!

    Stephen Falken: Uh, uh, General, what you see on these screens up here is a fantasy; a computer-enhanced hallucination. Those blips are not real missiles. They're phantoms.

    McKittrick: [McKittrick approaches Beringer] Jack, there's nothing to indicate a simulation at all. Everything is working perfectly!

    Stephen Falken: But does it make any sense?

    General Beringer: Does what make any sense?

    Stephen Falken: [points to the screens] That!

    General Beringer: Look, I don't have time for a conversation right now.

    Stephen Falken: [Falken speaks as he approaches] General, are you prepared to destroy the enemy?

    General Beringer: You betcha!

    Stephen Falken: Do you think they know that?

    General Beringer: I believe we've made that clear enough.

    Stephen Falken: [face to face] Then don't! Tell the President to ride out the attack.

    Colonel Joe Conley: Sir, they need a decision.

    Stephen Falken: General, do you really believe that the enemy would attack without provocation, using so many missiles, bombers, and subs so that we would have no choice but to totally annihilate them?

    Female Airman First Class: [on loudspeaker] One minute and thirty seconds to impact.

    Stephen Falken: General, you are listening to a machine! Do the world a favor and don't act like one.

    Female Airman First Class: [on loudspeaker] One minute and twenty seconds to impact.

  • McKittrick: General, the machine has locked us out. It's sending random numbers to the silos.

    Pat Healy: Codes. To launch the missiles.

    General Beringer: Just unplug the goddamn thing! Jesus Christ!

    McKittrick: That won't work, General. It would interpret a shutdown as the destruction of NORAD. The computers in the silos would carry out their last instructions. They'd launch.

    General Beringer: Can't we disarm the missiles?

    Pat Healy: Over a thousand of them? There's no time. At this rate it will hit the launch codes in... 5.3 minutes.

    General Beringer: [smiles sarcastically at McKittrick] Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks.

    McKittrick: I don't have to take that, you pig-eyed sack of shit.

    General Beringer: Oh, I was hoping for something a little better than that from you, sir. A man of your education.

    Major Lem: [holding a telephone] General, it's the president.

    McKittrick: What are you... what are you going to tell him?

    General Beringer: I'm ordering our bombers back to fail-safe. We might have to go through this thing after all.
