For all its flaws, I love that movie. Based (loosely) on the Beale ciphers, a real-life combination of cryptography, myth, and scams (probably) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beale_ciphers

> It can be configured to have no login. If it doesn't have a login and gives you a welcome prompt it's not called hacking. In order to hack something it needed to be secured to start with. I very strongly disagree with this.
