If the 90s taught me anything, it's that hacking is done exclusively on monochrome green monitors, with dos. Except once they hack in, the monitor is full color, and somehow has access to every video camera on the planet. With the ability to enhsnce resolution seemingly to magical levels where you can see a clear reflection in someones pupil.

ENHANCE!!!

Nah, they evolved way past that in the following decades.

Sometimes when they're in a hurry they create GUI interfaces using Visual Basic to track IP adresses.

And sometimes, if they're very good, a hacker can manually carve a virus in a piece of bone using fractal patterns. They can use that to hack the computer scanning the bone so it adds a zero in thresholds for CPU heat monitoring and make it instantly catch fire.

Are you sure you're a dancing bear? Are you related to the masturbating bear from Conan O Brian's late night show in the 90s?
