I can't remember where the idea for this came from, but I do know I was a little miffed that for a story all about digital surveillance, we've seen about as much actual hacking as DYOS XI. Plus, having worked in DOS since my first computer, I thought I'd show off my command-line skillz. =P

'doctorow' is a reference to the author Cory Doctorow. ASCII Liam Neeson adapted from this portrait by ThreshTheSky.
