by using false contactlenzes, blood and urine.
- The assassin: Where she blows -up a pc with a disk (kewl)
- Any "many" episode of star trek voyager. This must be one of the 
easyest starships to hack into. And Tovak (the volcan keeps having to 
update the security protocols)
- Freedom downtime: Haven't seen this movie but it is" a feature lenght 
documentary about the free Kevin movement and the hacker world"
- Computer chronicles: 
http://www.archive.org/movies/computerchronicles.php. This is / was a 
famouse computer television show.
You can download all sorts of computerrelated episodes. (and in 
different kinds of quality) ;-)
- Hackers Computer outlaw: a documentary about and with wozniak, captain 
chruch and Kevin Mitnick
