Jul 30, 2015 at 12:43 comment added SirParselot I read through all the comments and then checked out the link and it was better than I had expected. +1 for exceeding my expectations
Apr 11, 2015 at 20:06 comment added Loktar @AdamJensen bleh yeah the site was on my colo server which sort of died Ill try getting it back up in the next day or so.
Apr 11, 2015 at 12:33 comment added Adam Jensen I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED for guihacker.com

Jul 14, 2014 at 2:20 comment added abnry This made my day, it is so funny!
Jul 8, 2014 at 17:33 comment added Kaz Wolfe I made another variation of this fiddle, with HEX and randomly generating IPs and MAC addresses. If you want to take a look at it, jsfiddle.net/KazWolfe/ugNeh
Jun 25, 2014 at 6:00 comment added Vince @Loktar I'm using Firefox 17.0.7 Nightly (unfortunately our sysadmins wont allow updates on that...)
Jun 24, 2014 at 14:13 comment added Loktar @Vince must not be using a modern browser?
Jun 24, 2014 at 12:41 comment added Vince For me it just throws an error: ReferenceError: requestAnimationFrame is not defined -> requestAnimationFrame(render);

Jun 16, 2014 at 13:37 comment added Loktar haha good point I should have had it spit out hex.
Jun 16, 2014 at 9:23 comment added JimmyB Nice one! :) - But what's with all those floating point numbers?! Serious hackers always have their screen full of hexadecimal numbers, if not binary! ;-) I'm expecting to see this thing in a Hollywood movie, where it seems they're always in need for "seriously technical" looking hacker screens!
Jun 13, 2014 at 10:12 comment added Daniel Johnson Done some modifications, had this running all day at work! danj.eu/hack
Jun 13, 2014 at 7:16 comment added asprin I just signed up to let you know that this is awesome. I tried a version without the graphics and it looked even more intriguing. I agree with @YoshiBotX on some input once in a while to make it appear even more real :)
Jun 13, 2014 at 5:19 comment added Mark Micallef Holy Bullshit Bytes, Batman! Yes, I think this is how Joe Public imagines hacking.
Jun 12, 2014 at 11:43 comment added rwenz3l it would be awesome to ask for permission/password every x minutes so even though you don't work and want to make it look like you do, though, you even enter something very strange once in a while!
Jun 11, 2014 at 22:34 comment added Tomas great, very beautiful and hilarious! :-) +1

Jun 11, 2014 at 22:12 comment added Loktar @Tomas lol this comment thread is so long but there is a fiddle a pen and a github repo also edited the question and added links.
Jun 11, 2014 at 21:48 comment added Tomas please, post a jsfiddle!
Jun 11, 2014 at 16:22 comment added Jake Sellers then you're not faking it! :)
Jun 11, 2014 at 16:11 comment added daviewales What if you work as a security tester?
Jun 11, 2014 at 15:38 comment added Jake Sellers @daviewales: prolly not a good thing to be doing at the office...
Jun 11, 2014 at 7:56 comment added daviewales If you want something that looks a little like this, but actually does stuff, try cracking a WPA2 WiFi password with aircrack-ng. Here is a picture (OK. It doesn't look much like it at all... =P)
Jun 11, 2014 at 0:11 comment added Dennis "TPS Reports"...brilliant.
Jun 10, 2014 at 23:28 comment added millinon You should add fake wget and nmap output! People might actually recognize them from movies, and the commands can be 'confirmed' with real output...
Jun 10, 2014 at 20:43 comment added MrTheWalrus Had this running for all of 30 seconds before my fellow developers came over to ask what I was hacking into. I think that counts as a success, so +1
Jun 10, 2014 at 18:18 comment added Jwosty @marczellm no, it needs those completely meaningless bleeping noises whenever it prints a line, like it would have if it were in any TV show (e.g. CSI or 24).
Jun 10, 2014 at 16:34 comment added marczellm It needs some bleeping sounds when you hit keys.
Jun 10, 2014 at 15:42 comment added Cruncher @Loktar please let me know if you get success!
Jun 10, 2014 at 15:41 comment added Loktar @Cruncher you could probably use node-webkit as well actually... might give that a shot today.
Jun 10, 2014 at 15:00 comment added Cruncher @Lembik If you can port it to an SWF file I think you can do it
Jun 10, 2014 at 13:23 comment added Timtech 'Performing DNS Lookups for' needs a space at the end of the string. I like it a lot :)

Add code formatting!
Jun 10, 2014 at 4:25 comment added Loktar @Pathachiever11 I have it on codepen as well codepen.io/loktar00/details/jbCzt
Jun 10, 2014 at 4:23 comment added harsimranb I just created a jsfiddle for this. Pretty neat stuff! jsfiddle.net/XR393

Jun 9, 2014 at 21:39 comment added Loktar @user2719875 haha yeah for sure, Im going to put it on github tonight as well. Thats hilarious. Something else to do is put it in fullscreen mode (F11) then you wont see the page title anymore
Jun 9, 2014 at 20:39 comment added user2719875 I sat in the Toronto Public Library with this open and I noticed people behind me looking at my screen. This looks pretty 'scary' to a nontech guy. Can you can make guihacker.com allow us 2 change the title of the page to whatever we'd like, and if we can add in our own lines which will appear in the green text? I was thinking about making the title of the page 'Toronto Public Library Internet Access' and making the green lines say 'Accessing Toronto Public Library Security Database..' 'Accessing usernames and passwords...' 'Access Granted..' This may get me in some trouble but it will be fun.
Jun 9, 2014 at 15:21 comment added Loktar @TimS. lol I agree, maybe Ill add some customization options to it (color, removing or adding the graphic outputs ect.) regardless it would be hard to fool a tech person with it, I could definitely fool my mother in law though.
Jun 9, 2014 at 15:08 comment added Tim S. Hollywood-style might fool the average person, but not the average techie (even cursory): green text (unless that's what you have your terminal/command line set to) is not normal, and the visualizations don't make much sense.
Jun 9, 2014 at 4:33 comment added user23446 Why the graphics too? Wouldn't having the console alone make it look more believable??
Jun 8, 2014 at 19:06 comment added qwr The best part is the bars bouncing up and down; it's clear they don't represent any real data!
Jun 7, 2014 at 20:45 comment added Loktar Not quite sure actually, lol i've had it running on my third monitor in fullscreen mode all day.
Jun 7, 2014 at 19:36 comment added user9206 I want it as my new screensaver!! In fact, how would you do that in ubuntu?
