So true dude, everything so far I have seen on this show is a legitimate hacking term and makes sense, Except for the part where he rang his phone off that guys phone and then deleted his number from the call log... His number would still be on that guys phone record that he made a call to that number, so that was a silly move unless it was a burner number.

I don't have a smart phone so I couldn't really call bullshit on that scene. I assumed his number would still be on the phone record, but is the record view able by the owner of the phone or would the owner need to call his service provider to grab the number?

I did find it hard to believe that Angela, one of the lower level managers at Allsafe, didn't know what a rootkit was. Some of the hacks are kind of grasping though. But I don't want to spoil it for ya.

Yeah the owner of the phone should get a phone statement of all the numbers he has called, well I do anyways for my work phone and personal, but nonetheless it would only take a call to his carrier to do it, and yeah I thought her not knowing what a rootkit was a little odd as well hahaha

In a way elliot reminds me of dexter but in the hacker world
