2ndratequizzer got close.

The answer is nmap, a port scanning tool which can be downloaded from insecure.org. Typically, it is used by hackers (ethical or otherwise) to first find out which ports on a target machine are open.

  1. Featured the Source code of nmap

  2. Trinity in Matrix Reloaded using nmap to port scan and attack the “Grid System” using a well known attack called SSH1-CRC to gain access. This was even featured in a BBC news article. This is also the first Hollywood movie to show a proper hacking scene.

  3. Many people claim to have seen nmap in action in this movie. Screen shots are available all around the net.
