You see Rami (Elliot) all over now he's become a MASSIVE star, but Carly (Darlene) hasn't had the followup success as much. I haven't seen her in anything else after Mr Robot. Also I recently found out that Rami has a fucking twin brother! They were identical up until they were 18 then starting looking a bit different. Rami even did his brothers Greek exam performance as his brother (Sami) was gunna fail lol and his teachers didn't know. To pass the class (Greek language class I think) he had to do like a Greek tragedy on stage and he nailed it lol
Well... first off: Rami is the main star of the show Second off: Rami has been in big budget movies and shows before Mr. Robot. For example: Need for Speed, Night at Museum, The Master, The Pacific
I am at this very moment doing exactly the same thing, with the Pringles can as well, in order to log into a Wi-Fi that is three blocks away and offset my GPS location to get more doordash orders
I remember when Kali was called "backtrack." I actually still have a CD of it somewhere around my house, I used it when I was in school to gain access to wifi, since at that time Wifi in schools was commonly WEP. The sad part is a ton of places still use WEP.

Police apparently aren't the only people to still use fax. An avionics factory I worked at had a fax machine apparently for the sole purpose of recieving reports from the fire alarm panel right next to it. No idea if there was some genius reasoning behind it.

Love how he uses the Pringles can as WiFi booster, takes me back to 2009 or 2010 when WiFi Cantenna with Pringles can was popular MacGyver style way of boosting your WiFi but in reality the diameter of Pringles can is not ideal for 2.4Ghz but more close to 5Ghz WiFi instead...but hey it worked back then lol.
I had better luck with a small salad bowl as a parabolic dish, but I used aluminum foil as a reflector. This was back in the day when people wouldn't lock up their Wifi with passwords and left it open.
@@elsoudani4028 The foil in the can acts as a wave guide, a bit like a telescope. Instead of the receiving being a tiny wire in the USB dongle, it's the entire mouth of the can. This gives a much larger aperture and thus, more signal. This means that a weak WiFi transceiver can be made stronger, so one out of range gets into range. In reality, it increases the signal strength by about 1 bar, not great, but it can make a difference.
About the pringle antenna, it does not work that well in real life, a bigger can works much better, like a Maxwell House coffee can, but I understand this is a TV show which I really like myself as all the hacks are legit. For DIY antenna, using a wok as parabolic reflector works best IMHO 8-)
why dont you make a video and share your design of a wifi extender. there is plenty of views with a video like that. just remember to make it simple at first so everyone can do it them self then you can make a more advanced version for the handy diys
actually it does... because the pringles can is the optimal diameter as well as being slightly lined with aluminum foil... you dont want WIDE you want narrow to... shoot the wifi adapter antenna out and GRAB the wifi signal far away, the maxwell can is wide and wouldnt likely be as good at least imo, kinda why the pringles can is the "meme", a japanese guy figured it out after a bunch of trail and error, pringles worked WAY better then other methods he tried.
SPOILERS for Season 3 finale (just in case) I'm curious about that too. Maybe Mr. Robot wanted to come back for the CD with the keys that could decrypt E Corp's data? Not sure what would be the point of that though, as it was already well hidden from Elliot
There is a Red Wheelbarrow menu lying in the pile of post at the door - it is very, VERY subtle. That is what Mr. Robot wanted to come back for, because it contains a cipher that leads to the phone number to Tyrell. You can see Mr. Robot decoding it in the next episode.
