Relive Jurassic Park’s Iconic Hacking Scene Right From Your Browser

For the most part, Jurassic Park isn’t the kind of movie you’d want a chance to live out, what with the mortal danger and velociraptors and all that. But thanks to the amazing Jurassic Systems website, you can experience of of Jurassic Park‘s safer thrills first-hand: getting hacked by Dennis Nedry.

Thanks to this little Javascript/HTML5 toy programmed by Tully Robinson, you too can experience the wild frustration of being screamed at in pop-ups for not having said the magic word . It’s probably the closest you’ll ever come to being Samuel L. Jackson. All you need is the attitude and like 40,000 cigarettes.

Jurassic Systems itself is a little bit of a one trick pony — the terminal has about five actual commands, and you’ll be hard-pressed to do anything but get yourself locked out. But that one trick is so good that who cares? Maybe someday we’ll get a chance to try our hands at that Unix file system. Until then, good luck accessing the main security grid.
