I’m aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?

    I was thinking of the Bothan pilot in Wraith Squadron books (SW again, the less consistent part of it). 12 X-Wings drop out of hyperspace approaching a planet. One of the pilots is able to spend no more than 5 minutes to find out some pretty specific shit from governmental archives of that planet, listen to encrypted communications of the Imperials, whatever.

    It’s worse than the Elder Wand in HP.

    In one episode they find some kid’s password protected laptop. The super hacker goes “oh no, I can’t hack that. It’s running Anti-Hack OS! We need the password”. The password ends up being plain text password that a brute force dictionary attack could break in seconds.

    Well, that’s right. Thinking to install Anti-Hack OS is something only that kid can do. The govt is too stoopid.

      You’re ok with little planes flying through hyperspace but draw the line at space hacking, lol
