Password guessing

A big and recent offender occurs in Ozark, where Laura Linney needs to get into Jason Bateman's computer but doesn't know the password, so she picks up a magazine or some shit and reads the bar code or ISBN number and it works. Biggest joke I've ever seen, especially considering there was no precursor to her being able to guess that. Like even if Bateman said to Linney at some point "oh I like using ISBN numbers as passwords" or some shit like that, then I'd get it. But there was no pretext whatsoever.

That said, aside from that and a few other things that bugged me, it really is a good show.


I've actually found out the password to my friends computer like that back in the day. His parents locked it out when they weren't there and I was guessing password from stuff around the desk. Turned out it was a phrase on a cd. Hacker/detective skills+1000 when it worked hahaha!


tbh, just pass guessing has always driven me crazy.

In high school situations, people having like 5-10 minutes to talk in-between classes. When I was in school you got about 5 minutes between class, which was just enough to go to your locker, get books for the next class, and get to class. If you carried all your books with you you would maybe get 1 or 2 minutes to talk if that. You never got to have long conversations, that only happened during lunch and maybe study hall if you had a teacher that let you talk.


Same. Half the time it wasn't even enough time to use the can while going from one wing of the school to the other. Never even had time to use a locker.

I'm sure people have tried it after seeing it done on tv, tbh.
