It also showed that realistic hacking could make for interesting screen drama. Hacking a offside backup company by coming in for an interview and installing a trojaned wifi router.

For anyone wanting the opposite, Mr. Robot had great hacking scenes

In more than one meaning of the word “hack”; the axe scene was horrifying and so well done

Haven't seen that one, but the one I remember was from Matrix Reloaded.
Trinity used Nmap to scan for vulnerabilities and then used a SSH1 CRC32 attack, which was a real world loophole in computers back then.

And the tech world definitely noticed. There were a lot of discussions about how cool that was on blogs and forums back then. I think even Wired Magazine wrote about it.

The guy who wrote Nimap was apparently also very much stoked to see his tool being used when he watched it in cinema.

That would be an amazing experience. Such high praise.
