Hacking the System

I had trouble finishing the first episode. This show just seems to either state the obvious or make up facts. I did think it was funny that when trying to break a car window they used a rubber mallet and act surprised it didn't work. Just more mindless garbage for people to watch. Please don't think this trash is real or that it really works. Also just saying your an expert in something doesn't make you one, who is this guy and why would I just believe that hes an "expert". Maybe the show gets better after a few episodes? I'm not sure but i do know that what I have watched could have been produced better by a high school AV club.

I saw the show on National Geographic, the Host is Brian? i think, he is funny, the format is a story-setting. Each episode, Brian gives a scenario, and how to hack your way through each of them , very addicting. His scenarios aren't crazy like what to do when you are at the edge of apocalypse, he uses everyday life scenario and made it very very entertaining. I mean He teaches you how to buy mattress and made it so interesting. How cool is that? I got hooked the first 5 minutes. His hacks are very simple, yet very very informative and useful. I have never learned so much in 30 minutes. Brian is very charismatic, Jason his friend is very smart addition. They are informal but also the show is definitely very unique. I think they are gonna be huge, better than regular "survival" show.

The "info" in this show ranges from recycled gossip to outright incorrect.

It may be entertaining, but in the first episode, which is the last I'll watch, there is very bad advice that can compromise yours security, to advice that could lead to legal trouble if you accept it.

There is nothing new here. The errors are glaring, and some are downright brain-dead errors.

Please, do not use a longer password simply because it is longer.

Using "This is my password" vs "k2j340@" is not stronger. The ignorance required to think the first is better, simply because of more characters, shows a complete misunderstanding of security.

Errors such as this abound, and the fact that the creators of this "entertainment" pass themselves off as experts only makes matters worse.

Stay away, unless you watch for laughs.

Thing shown in the show are really useful. I'm a private investigator and some of these are trick I use. The host, Brian Brushwood, has a great rapport and is really fun to watch. Fans of Scam school and Con College will be familiar with his work. The show has a very light and family friendly atmosphere while also being very entertaining and teaching helpful tricks and shorts. The show focuses on safety and convenience. Seriously, it's awesome! Sometimes I ask myself "why do I even have cable?", then I remember this show. It's fantastic. Stop reading, right now and go watch it. You won't be disappointed. 10/10 I couldn't ask for better content

Let's get straight to the point. If you have half a grain of common sense, then this show is straight up garbage. You're led to believe you're going to see the host choose and break into a car, which is true, if by that you mean "the host chooses the clearly staged car and opens the door easily without any extra work and the camera intentionally blocking the view, after which the host uses a large set of skeleton keys to start the engine and drive out of the scene". Everything about this show is so cringe worthy. They create OBVIOUSLY staged scenes and expect to fool the viewer by showing feeds from "hidden" cameras. Absolutely everything about this show is old, rehashed garbage. If you've spent 10 minutes on the internet, you've already seen everything this show has, and you've already seen half of it debunked. Nothing in this show is a "hack".
