NEGOTIATOR NERDS

THE NEGOTIATOR is the spin-off movie to last year's BAYSIDE SHAKEDOWN 2 and it's all about terrorists in the Japanese subway system and it's the number one flick in Japan right now.

Check out Joi Ito's blog. He's a computer guy hired by THE NEGOTIATOR crew to make sure all their hacking and technical stuff looks good onscreen and is accurate. There's lots of juicy nuggets on his site, like the following:

"They should also have developed a computer virus that installs backdoors on hundreds of broadband-connected Windows-running PCs, to use them as non-logging traffic relays/proxies. The IP traffic would travel from an unsecured WiFi AP to a relay daemon running on a hijacked PC, and thus be very difficult to trace."

I understand if you say this to a geek they actually spontaneously orgasm. He even has a wiki page.
