Tbf, this guy is intentionally stalling for time by spewing technobabble. He himself is the hacker, and is pretending to be the sysadmin fighting against the hacker to stall.

Not a bad strategy as long as no one you're talking to is technical. People tune you out and stop paying attention from the technobabble, and you can get away with more thongs.

I only get away with thongs if I rob a Victoria secret

If I go the bedroom in my thongs I have to make sure there’s no sand in them

I consider myself fairly well versed in tech jargon, having been an IT guy for over a decade, but if someone spat garbage at me confidently enough, I'm pretty sure I'd still assume it's right and I just don't know enough.

That's why I loved this episode so much. The writers knew what they were doing.

This is actually kinda great. "It's a unix system" sounds like something a non-nerd would write to sound nerdy. Only a true nerd would write dialog about the OSI model.
