Huh. Cool to see this get some space on the HN front page. I created the Tumblr https://moviecode.tumblr.com/ a few years ago and I've started this channel to go a little deeper into some of the examples. Hope people like it.
Next up: two episodes of Knight Rider, Westworld (1973) and Swordfish.
Yes, thanks. I have that one in the queue to do a video on. But thanks for that link as I'm trying in the text beneath the videos to credit people who discover these things and I'll add that.
Do Person of Interest please :). They actually used Shellshock on-screen as an exploit quite soon after it was in the news, and also AFAIR featured Stuxnet dumps.
Revolution had some Lisp code in the first season[0].
Oh man, I loved Whiz Kids when it was on TV. I'm not specifically looking for bugs or 8 bit stuff just really spelunking into where the code came from. The Westworld one is very interesting because it's 1973 and Westworld was the first film with computer graphics in it... I finally figured out what's being shown.
Not a movie but there's a wonderful source listing in Lost Universe (I think) where the C code starts with some macros that use setjmp/longjmp to implement gosub/return. Will try to find specific episode/timestamp when I get home.
