Human, I'm 28, been in InfoSec for ~10 years. Granted, I was lucky enough to be interested in and peruse this as a professional branch when I graduated college in 2016. I am also an adjunct professor at my local university, where I make it a salient point to remind my students of the history of hacking. We talk about this still.
I also start every semester off with the opening scene of Hackers - the best hacking movie ever made :)

- claytongulick 5y agoI still vote for Wargames :-)
- amiga 5y agoFerris Bueller's Day Off has some inspiring hacks :^)
- randombits0 5y agoThat’s got data encrypting algorithms, you’ll never get through that!
- rbanffy 5y ago> Counterpoint: _Sneakers_: the thinking person's hacking movie. Lacks the soundtrack. I always work to music to help focus.
- cholmon 5y agoLacks? No way. Sneakers' score features Branford Marsalis, which is very different feel to Hackers (which is also great), but imo very evocative of the the playfulness, mystery, & intrigue of the crypto storyline.
- rbanffy 5y agoBoth have good soundtracks, but Hackers is still better. ;-)
