Hollywood style hacking sequence§

#1

You guys know those realistic movies where people are somehow “hacking” and a lot of code scrolls inside windows way to quickly to be read? Know the kind I’m talking about?

Mr Robot is dangerously educating the clueless, so something has to be done!
If you want to convince people you know computers here’s how you can use the cliché:

Open a terminal (CTRL + ALT + T)

sudo apt install pv

(Only the first time)
Then:

locate -r “\.c$” | xargs cat | pv -qL1000

You’re now a hollywood hacker too!

Even cooler: with colors and randomization of input files order!

sudo apt install pv highlight

(Once)
Then:

locate -r “.c$” | shuf | xargs -IX highlight -O ansi X | pv -qL500
