Viewing Single Trivia

In the Space Administration HQ mission, a set of large screens in the satellite control room display a window of code showing how hackers took down the NOA's main terminal. They used the real-life Nmap network scanner tool and executed a script called "sshpwn", which uses a security exploit named "SSHv1 CRC32". This is a reference to a scene from the 2003 film "The Matrix Reloaded", where Trinity uses Nmap to execute a fictional self-written script called "sshnuke" to take down a power grid with the SSHv1 CRC32 exploit. While the sshnuke script was created for the movie, SSHv1 CRC32 is a real vulnerability for Secure Shell Protocol version 1.0 discovered in February 2001.
