Thanks for the help ManoftheSea, most appreciated.

Hide / UnHide and how it works here:

Sniffer Daemon Virus =>  Use Anti-Spyware AV to disinfect!
Data uplink hijack => hijacked files can only be downloaded one time for each file!


sticky  :)

So far you can remote AV or use a Scanner on another server to run a job for you and scan a target... You have to click scan on the remote server file.

I have a question about encrypt and dencrypt.

If i have a Encryptor and encrypt a virus, it cant be use after someone unencrypt it, but me too need unencrypt it for use it? if i load it to a remote server it will be encrypted?

So, in that case i need a encryptor and a better dencryptor to work well?

Thx in advance.

Yes.

What I do is Hide/Encrypt, and unhide/Decrypt on my server, begin the upload, and Re- Hide/encrypt on my server again. Then I finish the upload later, and install immediately.

OK, Thx, i need better dencryptor them

I dont know aboyt encrypt/decrypt, but you don't have to unhide a file to use it, you only need to run the unhide on your gateway and then you can upload it.

I've updated the program costs / requirements information.

Remember to multiply the requirements with (version / 0.1) to find the exact resources for any software.

The following are errors I found based on information provided here vs in game.
As you can see the pattern repeats.  Most of the HDD calculations differ from what is in game.  Are you rounding it off or something to that effect?

There are also a couple of CPU conversions that don't match up with what you posted.  It seems that the game is dealing with decimal points that it does not show us as the players.

I've sent you a forum PM virus man with the exact size of the software types.

The game rounds size down to two decimals for Mb and Gb.

To get the exact size, use the data in the PM for kbSize and use this formula:

Thank you Sir Emi

And this valor?

Decryptor V .5935
Stat   In Game      Forum
CPU   11,870      2554

Seems like some thing is wrong

with 2000 CPU for each 0.1 => 2000 * 5.935 = 11870 CPU

That's with the forum value.

I see the error, him take the 2554 value from the above program

Yeah I was half asleep when I made that post.  I just forgot to update the number for the forum.

Question: When exactly is the file version of the Data Uplink Hijack Virus used for?

I dont see any mention of it in the table above, so am i right in assuming a file version of 0.2 will only intercept files of version 0.2 and below?

It is the Encryption level it uses on the software it intercepts

I thought the Encryption level of the file was the version of the file that you captured?

It might be.  I forget to be honest.  And since Decryption uses WAY to much in resources it is really a mute point.  Example a V1.0 Decrypt uses 20,000 MHz CPU and 500,000 mb of ram

From the game guide: "the file will also be encrypted with a version equal to the intercepted software version"

IMHO, pointless.  Any file you want is going to be either A: higher version virii (which means you need a high version decryptor which has already been pointed out as pointless) or B: on someone's private server being transferred to another person's private server, so unless you get lucky there's really nothing worthwhile to capture with a hijacker.

I know I don't go uploading anything to somewhere where someone else has installed virii except for more virii (and usually on secret servers)

Well, thanks for the input, but it has to be said that i agree with both of you, it is absolutely pointless to capture ANYTHING, fair enough, its just like downloading something without using your BW, but on the other hand, you are never gonna be able to decrypt something you actually WANT, going by what virus man's estimates, who has 20,000 CPU free to decrypt some 1.0 file?, which would furthermore have to run for countless hours!

I think this should be given a re-think, and as a suggestion, using the whole storyline about the software being intercepted over an encrypted communication, the version of the actual hijacker virii should be used.

Need to add the virus identifier to the list:

MB: 17.42
CPU: 30
MEM: 1150

Not sure about the official description though.
