GUI interface using visual basic to track the killers IP address CSI

Lol. For reference, this is one of the many classic pseudohacker babble references from the television show CSI [1]. Brought to you by your average screen writer who probably thought that dragging an icon from the desktop in Windows 95 to the Recycle Bin also deleted the corresponding files. [1] - ▶ this video

> Most non-technical business stakeholders don't really understand what we do. You don't see shows about awesome devs doing awesome shit, like you do for lawyers, doctors, business people, etc. All they know about us is that we're nerds who work like two hours a day and can't be bothered to go into the office. You do, but it's even more ridiculous nonsense fantasy than a typical doctor or a lawyer show (e.g. all the hacker girl scenes like ▶ this video , link ).

Have you ever created a GUI interface in Visual Basic, and seen if you could track an IP address? ( ▶ this video for the younguns)

Not sure anything can beat the famous CSI hacking the killers IP address using a VB GUI Interface scene. ▶ this video

“Enhance!”[0] may no longer qualify as comedy, but this[1] will never fail to entertain ;-) [0] link [1] ▶ this video

It's unrealistic that someone would write a GUI interface in response to an active computer attack. The reference: ▶ this video

My favourite is CSI New York - "I'll create a GUI Interface using Visual Basic, see if I can track an IP address" ▶ this video

This feels like a weird "Mainframes are making a comeback", submarine article[1] targeted at people likely to buy stock, especially the "Mainframes Today" section. There also seems to be a (legally obligated?) disclaimer at the top that they're a stock holder, quickly moving on to why you should buy IBM stock, with enough "build a GUI in visual basic to track their IP address"[2] tech-speak gobbledygook to confuse/convince the average investor. That's the only sense I can make of it... [1] link [2] ▶ this video

The solution to this has been know for a while, its creating a GUI interface in Visual Basic to track the domain's IP address.[1] [1] ▶ this video

I don't want to be confrontational, but I really don't understand the point you're trying to make. Why a neural network, why VLC? I understand that you are suggesting it would be possible to strip the watermark, but the way you've said it sounds a lot like "create a GUI interface using visual basic, see if I can track an IP address"[0]. Which is to say, you've not said what you would do to defeat it, but how you think it would be implemented... which doesn't really tell us anything about HOW you think it could be defeated. >You just can't effectively watermark data intended for human consumption, our tolerance for intentionally induced noise is too high. If this were true, steganography[1] would be useless in practice (it isn't). I would suggest reading up on digital watermarking[2]. [0] ▶ this video [1] link [2] link

and this [1]! Both still make me laugh after the 100th time. I'd love to have been in the room when the writers actually thought these scenes up. [1] ▶ this video

I was really confused by this headline -- having not seen the show, but knowing an indie video game by the same name ( link ) that used the word "hacking" to describe RPG-ish battles set inside the circuitry of other robots. It is refreshing to see on-screen depictions of hacking that use legitimate tools in ways they're actually used in, instead of "GUI interface using visual basic to track the killers IP address" ( ▶ this video ).
