Dueling hackers, combining the excitement of people typing with the thrill of network protocol loopholes being exploited.
Line 14:
* ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]'' has a few examples.
* Happens in ''[[Cannon God Exaxxion]]'' as both sides run a propaganda war against each other.
* In ''Demon Hunters: Dead Camper Lake'', two Cyborg [[Dueling Hackers]] complete with ominously named programs with skull icons, while sitting face to face at the same table. Eventually, the losing cyborg shrugs, picks up his laptop and clubs his enemy to death.
* A slowed down and scaled up version: The ''[[.hack]]'' plot-lines for the ''Twilight'' manga and anime involve a group of hackers breaking down an [[MMORPG]] while the game's programmers try and counter the slow infection.
* ''[[Hanaukyo Maid Tai]]''. In episode 8 the Jihiyou family hacks into the MEMOL supercomputer to steal information (and possibly activate the mansion's [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]]). Grace manages to defeat them.
Line 34:
** Also, [[Playful Hacker|Boris]] kills time by hacking into Western computers and taunting his opponents as they try to thwart him.
*** He even thinks of unplugging his computer in the end, when he gets hacked back. He doesn't just pull the cable out though, but rips out whole racks of gear and throws them on the floor.
* In ''Demon Hunters: Dead Camper Lake'', two Cyborg [[Dueling Hackers]], complete with ominously named programs with skull icons, while sitting face to face at the same table. Eventually, the losing cyborg shrugs, picks up his laptop and [[Fighting Dirty|clubs his enemy to death]].
* ''[[Resident Evil (film)|Resident Evil]]''. In the first movie Kaplan has a hacking duel with the Red Queen AI to bypass her defenses.
* [[The Core]] treated Rat's interaction with security systems this way, as though he were dueling with the security programmer. After breaking into DESTINI and shutting it down, "Your kung fu is not strong."
