Unlike Darlene and the rest of FSociety, I did not know what a Raspberry Pi was, so I had Bazzell explain it to me.īazzell added that this scene highlights some common vulnerabilities of corporations today, particularly the fact that a network is only as safe as its weakest link. Elliot discloses that he wants to use a “Raspberry Pi," to gain access to Steel Mountain’s climate control system and destroy the tape backups by increasing the facility’s temperature to a point at which the tapes will melt. These scenarios echo that which Elliot’s plan seeks to exploit. When a disaster strikes, and the building is flattened or burglarized, the backups are worthless. “I have consulted numerous organizations that backup to external hard drives that are left on-site. “One important rule to backups is that you have an offsite copy,” stressed Bazzell. Tapes can easily store hundreds of gigabytes of data and come with a reasonable price tag, but that isn't to say that they don't come with risks. All corporations have some type of backup data solution and despite the fact that a tape backup solution might seem like an antiquated method, it is often an appropriate solution for many companies. Elliot’s plan hinges on the fact that E Corp’s data storage facility, Steel Mountain, relies on a tape-based data backup system.
