Event description

Part movie night, part cybersecurity workshop, join the Tech Learning Collective’s cybersecurity trainers as they take you on a guided tour of Hollywood’s most memorable, fantastical, and even kind of realistic hacking scenes to ever grace the silver screen. From WarGames (1983), to Hackers (1995), to The Matrix Reloaded (2003), and many more, revisit all your favorite hacker movie moments augmented with edutaining commentary from a peanut gallery of cybersecurity instructors!

We’ll watch a clip from the movie, then critique it from a technopolitical perspective. In the process, you’ll be exposed to some indinspensible computer security tools (like nmap!), learn about hacking exploits of yesteryear, and ultimately gain a better sense of how to separate fiction from reality in contemporary hacking dramas in pop culture.

RSVP

Event space is limited to 25 participants! Please arrive 5 to 10 minutes early to reserve your seat and make your donation, or make your donation now and get your reservation ticket online.
