I remember watching Season 1 or Mr. Robot and seeing "@kali" as the hostname while Elliot is typing. I thought it was a bit overtly "hackerish" to have him using that. It's Ubuntu with some pentesting stuff installed by default, isn't it? Nothing that couldn't be accomplished with a regular OS install without drawing unneeded attention to oneself by using a l33t distro. Mind you, I can't remember if it was a laptop he was on at the time or not. It would make more sense to have Kali on a desktop, where you're less likely to be observed.

Fair enough. It struck me as the cool thing to show the viewers, which aroused scepticism.

What about the ones that aren't?
