This might seem like a strange question, but what would you use for creating the typical hollywood hacking scene?
I got this request from a friend and my brain was blank. All I could think of was all the nmap scenes from movies like The Matrix and so on.
But this would need to be done on a Mac with default OSX, which I think is some flavour of *nix, right? They have no internet access so preparing with external tools is out of the question.
I was thinking along the lines of writing the equivalent of /var/log/messages to screen maybe...
./configure && make
cmatrix
in a terminal window.
