The Hacker Project - a free online game

Will look into it, it seems that it's counting the tasks from server A to B regardless of witch is first...

It's a good idea to temporary restrict access if you provide a non-existing IP 5x times in the last 5 minutes... It would simply say you need to wait x min x seconds before trying to connect again and could be like a fail-safe against bots and penalty, I mean not many players can fail 5x times because you're usually clicking links in the IP Db...

The restriction will be on all connecting / bouncing and counting failed attempts will only count for providing non-existent IPs.

I'll check this out.

Well, I've asked people not to try and guess IP's using the connect window, I can log connection requests and if I see too many tries from a player in a short time can auto send a bot warning, put a bot flag up or something on him etc...

Or we can put a timer on it that will only allow a connection request every 3 seconds... this would mean you would also have to wait 3 seconds between bounce nodes too.

Please comment, we'll see...

Ok, after reading everything I find there are things that should have been brought forward to me by both groups involved in this dispute.

First of all, I fixed the server id in IP Database issue the moment is was brought to my attention.

Please remember that anything that can be used as an advantage against others and that bypasses the normal operation of HP can be considered an exploit. Using a server id to identify another players server after he changed IP could be considered an exploit.

I understand that you would want the above exploit exposed but the right thing todo was to report it so that it could be fixed, and not take it where bugshunter went to the extense of stealing and hacking into others people accounts.

Now HP is a game about hacking, and I can tolerate a degree of freedom of action but hacking other accounts is just wrong, so bugshunter will be banned at least for the remainder of this round. Also, is he wants to play in the next round, I expect that any bugs / security issues he finds with HP be reported immediately so that it can be fixed in order to make HP a better game.

Thank you.

Sir Emi

ok, should be better now... if it's a reddish color then you already voted for that number.

Ok, so the numbers without link means you already voted for it today.

Also, there are two sites that redirect the browser two times, so you got to hit Cancel two times then OK for those... you'll notice those sites as it gets out of the game to the game site, just try again there...

Yeah I think I can remove the link from the number if it's voted for, I'll check it out thanks.

Yeah, missions shouldn't be affected in any way by the voting system update...
I will check that out, thank you.

Rewards for voting for the game are now improved and more reliable. You receive the reward only if you vote.

Reward is now in PvP points that can be exchanged in the PvP store. Also, changes to get the higher bonuses have been increased and the special bonus of ability points went up from 10 to 25!

Important: Some vote sites are redirecting your browser so it is important that you click Cancel so you remain within the game and then when prompted click OK to get the reward.

The HP forum has been moved to the new address at:

Thank you.

Yeah, this is an excellent idea, I'll see what we can do 

When you do some damage in a PvP mission for PvP points, the total damage in HPD is calculated. The values used are that of the "Hardware dealer", without any bonuses.

So if you destroyed some CPU, HDD, mem, band, those are all calculated and a total HPD destroyed results. Then, 15% of that is calculated and then divided by 35 HPD that is how much 1 PvP point is worth. The amount left is the PvP points you get as reward that you can then convert into bonuses in the reward store.

Hope that explains it.

Yeah... nothing interesting going on in this town... but that means I got more time to work

You should get 1 PvP point is worth 35 HPD.

When you destroy some hardware, you get 15% of the destroyed hardware in PvP points.

Example: 100 Mhz CPU is 300 HPD destroyed, and you get 15% of that would be 45 HPD, that's about 1.28 PvP points, and it gets rounded out so if you get less then 0.5 PvP points damage, you won't get any...
