What You Could Expect To Find In The Modern Day Hacker’s Backpack

What exactly goes into hacking? And no, I'm not referring to the brain work, but the actual hardware used the the men and women who take the risks, for whatever reason.

Elliot Alderson’s backpack is basically the second star of the show.

Throughout Mr. Robot, the trusty black bag makes a regular appearance as the source of all Elliot’s hacker accessories, from his laptop to cellphone and whatever else he needs to haul around with him.

And, compared to many other replications of computer hackers, Mr. Robot comes the closest to portraying them.

So what’s in the bag? Thanks to Life Hacker:

According to some snoopers on Reddit, the backpack on the show is (most likely) a 3V Velox II and, alongside a copious amount of drugs here’s what tends to be inside:

  • iPhone 6 Plus
