A new feature is available that enables you launch remote attacks with your malware virii.
Attacker notes:
- the remote malware is activated in "Software", each malware has "Activate / Remote / Destroy". Click on "Remote" and enter the IP address.
- it costs 20% CPU / Memory of the vir requirements on the vir holding server to start a remote malware task
- it takes longer to complete a remote malware attack, depending on virii version / run hours = attack power
- the abilitiy skill in malware does affect the remote malware time to complete
- it costs 10 AP to complete a remote malware process, can be completed on virii server or remote server. You need to be the owner of the mal vir, and the vir has to be installed and ready. If it is disinfected, it won't work.
- malware remote attack power is only 5% and will reset your vir timer just like a normal attack, while activating directly on host will get you the full 100%
- the IP of the server holding the malware virii will show when you start the remote malware process.
(note that you can install malware on NPC servers / group servers and activate them remotely on some target server)
- so you can install your malware on captured systems and start them up remotely from there, saves some resources, ofc malware farms are ok too
- if someone cracks the mal attacking server, the remote attack process can be easily stopped from there on the source, so you might want to pass / fire protect it before attacking
- you don't need to crack the server you wish to attack. Just need the IP and then wait for it...
- "Change IP" will intrerupt outgoing remote attack tasks from the IP that is changing. It will not affect malware farms or their own malware attacks.
Defender notes:
- if you crack the source server IP (the vir server), you can stop the incoming remote malware attack
- you can kill / stop an incoming remote malware attack on the remote host by using the "Remote Attack Disruptor" (RAD) software below
- so a third party can help the defender by running RAD, crack servers attempting remote malware and stop their attacks, etc.
- "Change IP" will intrerupt incoming remote attack tasks
New software:
- Remote Attack Disruptor
- takes 15 minutes to complete
- targets remote attack process and tries to kill it (5%-50%, depends on version of disruptor, V 45 is maxed 50%)
- cost to complete: 2 AP
Other patch notes:
- added a select box that enables you to start multiple (up to 15X) tasks at once on some softwares, VI, PT, RAD (you need it sometimes since it's chance based)
- added Virus Breaker, Virus Identifier, Process Tracer, Remote Attack Disruptor to software dealer
- I'm going to work on the Faction Work missions now, where you will be sent to do remote malware on other players for profit
