      LOL I’m thinking of shows where they infiltrate evil headquarters. The nerdy computer whiz Asian girl with the green side ponytail goes click-click-click, and then before you could find a song on your own computer she’s like oh look, here’s the incriminating evidence that proves they’ve been dumping toxic waste into the river for 30 years!

      I don’t know about OP, but I remember reading and watching a lot of videos about blue hat hacker, whose sole job is to break things then report to secops so they fix it. They test everything including social hacks and physical ingress testing (getting in and out of a place they aren’t supposed to be in). One described their job as professional trespasser. The crazy shit they did was simple and could get them walking right into data centers without anyone noticing.
