I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but not too long ago I saw a blog post where the author mentioned in passing that an entire episode of the show Mr. Robot was based on a writeup the author did about a private CTF challenge, and they knew because the show even used the same solution which happened to be the organizer's telephone number. All searches with these prompts yield nothing but posts about the show, but the blog post I'm looking for had nothing to do with the show.

I don't remember where exactly I saw the post. Might've been in a Primeagen video, might've been posted in this community. I know at least that it must've been on the 22nd of December, as I apparently googled for "mr robot" on that day, and I remember specifically searching that as I have not heard of the show before this blog post.

Alright I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask either but if I were to guess it is s01e6 that they are referring to, I had forgotten about that show! It is really a great show from what I remember, especially that episode. Definitely worth a watch if you have not, I should watch it again.
