I guess you could add some sleep(1) inbetween

Needs to be a sleep(3) and sleep(5) between the last ones just to add suspense
- sleep $(( 1 + $RANDOM % 5 ))
- Needs a 99% print too just before the 5 second sleep. Followed by a 99.9% and another 2 second sleep. Never print 100 and just run a traceroute in a loop.
  Followed by a "we're in" from the hacker as we're made to believe he's reading the console spam like he's Neo from the matrix as he types faster and faster into an unresponsive terminal window.
This is Python. It's already show enough.

what about the sleeps between each print?

where's the comments?

why isn't it DRY?

3/10 code, PR rejected.

where’s the comments?
// this prints 80%
- This is python

You know hackers in the movies are very polite and care for their user. When they are hacking or wiping the disk they show proper progress. That is much better user experience than many corporate products. Be like hackers in the movie.

Ransomware has better tech support and customer service than your cell phone provider or ISP.
- Their profits come from actual "customers". They can't just layoff half of their work force and use stock buybacks to make the line go up. Shit has to actually work.

The Hollywood command is effortless and runs on terminal

Did he type the furiously on to the keyboard? No? Then it's not hacking.

I have seen like 2 movies where the hacker just ran a script and danced around the room until the progress bar got to the top, then he hit a couple inputs and ran another script and went back to dancing. It was so surreal to see something so much closer to real than the feverish hammering in a keyboard.
- ah yeah, I'm always dancing when hacking gov systems
- Which movies?
- There's also The Core where the hacker says "yea, I can do it", demands unlimited hot pockets and all of Xena Warrior Princess on VHS, then locks himself up in his room.,

- Classic! Sometimes I call it up just to enjoy that feeling.

have you seen who runs the fbi? this'll probably work irl

It takes skill to hack such an organization using only printf

You'd be surprised how versatile that one thing is. Or, should I say, how much abuse it gets at ioccc.....

I've been hacking the world this whole time!

The hacking in Mr Robot looked more authentic, I really liked it. But they usually just executed some random scripts without printouts lol.

behind the scenes: youtube video of a python loop

But look how much effort he put into ricing his terminal this guy's good.

Yeah, few people know that the FBI tells you the progress when hacking them.

"ChatGPT, write me a program to hack the FBI"

Prints a long summary with hallucinations

what HP printers really do

In Soviet Russia, print() statement runs on printer.

Guys, you can't just come in here and post exactly how hackimg works.

That's illegal!!1!

not even a loop.
