ELI5: What is hacking actually, and why are movies still always getting it wrong?
gpt
Hacking is basically just getting a piece of software (or hardware) to do something it wasn't meant to do. 

Why movies get it wrong? Because it's not entertaining to show some guys sitting around, trying hours upon hours to find some weakness they can exploit. There's no thrilling "who can type commands faster" duels with the admin or anything... it's really just someone sitting on their computer, trying to figure out the internal workings of something in order to exploit them.
