Matrix Reloaded Nmap Port Scan

Throwback to that scene in The Matrix Reloaded where they used nmap to run a port scan just to see that ssh was running..and exploited a legitimate vulnerability...that would have been over 200yrs old * Welcome to Citypower Grid rerouting * Authorized users only How users must notify sysOps. login: nmap -v -sS -O 10.2.2.2 Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA25 Insufficient responses for TCP sequencing (3), OS detection may be less accurate Interesting ports on 10.2.2.2: (The 1539 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 22/tcp open ssh ACCESS GRANTED ACCESS DENIED

A screenshot from The Matrix Reloaded is paired with commentary about using nmap to scan a power-grid computer and discovering that SSH is running. The joke is that the characters exploit an absurdly old vulnerability with outdated hacking tools, turning a dramatic movie hacking scene into a technically nerdy reaction meme.
