FWIW, Little known fact: Matrix 2 used real vuln (SSH CRC32) for trinity power grid hacking scene.
Even better to know: the scene was completed before the CRC32 vuln was public. So the scene used real 0day vuln...
Source? After some googling, I can only find that this is a 0day in the matrix universe, but not in the real world at the time the scene was made (matrix reloaded is a 2003 movie, vuln was discovered and patched around 2001.)
