Question: Who is Thomas Gabriel?

What was his plan to get segments of

code?

Answer: Previously Thomas Gabriel was D.O.Ds (Department of Defense) chief programmer
for infrastructure security but later he became the threat for the USA. He leads some computer
hackers transferring sensitive data to an operative of a terrorist group, under the guise of testing
security systems. This leads to a breach of an FBI facility's computer system, as the computer
hackers who aided the scheme are dispatched by the terrorist mastermind Thomas Gabriel,
instead of being paid for their collaboration.

Thomas Gabriel gets the code to break into Woodlawn which Farrell unwittingly provided to
him. As Gabriel was Chief Programmer for Department of Defense Infrastructure Security and
Woodlawn was his brain child, he'd know that it exists and how to activate Woodlawn into
downloading the country's financial data, which is why he started the "fire sale".

That means his plan to get the segment code was “fire-sale”

Question: Who is Matthew Farrell? What role did he play in the movie?

operative of a terrorist group, under the guise of testing security systems. This leads to a breach

collaboration. Matthew Farrell did play an important role in that movie. First he used by the
Gabriel and after that he caught by the NYPD Police Detective John McClane. McClane
transports Farrell to the FBI's Washington DC headquarters and its head, Deputy Director
Bowman, in the midst of a shutdown of national transportation systems. Farrell tell them about
the fire-sale and gave them idea about what was going on. Matthew Farrell help to solve the
problem and caught Thomas Gabriel. Without his help it won’t be possible to solve the problem
and catch Thomas Gabriel.

Question: What is fire-sale?

Answer: Fire-sale is taking advantage of the vulnerability of the nation's computer-controlled

infrastructure and attacked entire national infrastructure, take out all the transportation, financial
base & telecom sector, all the utilities like Gas, Water, Electricity, and Nuclear etc as a result all
the share price fall and sold at a very low price.
Question: Why did Matthew Farrell direct McClane to the power
superstation in West Virginia?

Answer: The whole point of fire sale is not run by remote, major utilities are not so they can
breach the security by physically present there. National power grid the gas and electronic is
divided by 3 zones- eastern, western and central with primary hub. Gabriel already took the
eastern hub so Farrell believes that the power grid will be the next target, and directs McClane to
a utility superstation in West Virginia, where they find Mai and her henchmen. McClane is able
to kill all of them

Question: What is Woodlawn?

Answer: Woodlawn is ostensibly a Social Security Administration building, but in reality a

top-secret National Security Agency operated building that serves as a back-up of all financial

financial systems
