Hacking f_society

Mr. Robot is a show on AMC about a disturbed hacker attempting to thwart an omni-present oligarchy while at the same time trying to suppress a dark alter-ego modeled after his own father.

Notably, the show tries to portray "hacking" realistically (inasmuch as it can without entire episodes dedicated to watching Elliot pore over the documentation of a specific vulnerable version of httpd running on Windows Server 2000), and I appreciate it. Well, mostly.

With that in mind, let's break a Mr. Robot themed VM together, and maybe learn something about webapp security along the way.
