The Hacker Project - a free online game

I know quite a lot of things about computers. Ok, right now, there's no such thing as a kernel available in task manager. The only thing that even remotely resembles the kernel is the total usage of cpu/ram/bandwidth. Now if you hide a process, you can merge it with another process. Mostly renaming the process to mimic something that is normally running in background. A proper way to actually hide is running a rootkit into the kernel. Now imagine the unused computer resources as your indication of idle processes or other things. Now you will notice if the numbers of all running processes does not equal to the remaining available resources. This is also a game, so I know this is not supposed to run like a real computer or else I would have suggested adding a bunch of processes the server runs and allowing us to hijack those processes to hide our activities.

If you still question my knowledge on computers, ask a question and i'll respond as quickly as possible.

And hidden files can be detected. A bit-image copy and running detection algorithms to find hidden partitions. But the problem, these aren't running, so they are easier to hide. Processes are harder, but can be masked with other processes. Like unnamed processes running.

umm, cpu/ram/bandwidth will still show usage. It's just hidden. Now, that's the first clue something is not there. that's why it's more balance with showing certain clues that it has been tampered....

It depends on both. The level of the hider determines how well it's hidden. The unhider determines if it can recover the hidden process.

do what you do about hiding and unhiding files. But the level of the hider would determine how hidden it would be. Like, it could be just hiding the ip. Or even hiding the process, leaving a "unknown process" on the task manager. And unhiding is the same, but it takes AP to unhide. Like logs. But this is all heresay.

Lol, i played uplink, so that's how I know logs are important. But I am still not used to my tasks showing which ip it goes to....

Can we have a way to hide processes? Like do what most systems do, add a system process you can see. Like if you noticed system is using bandwidth, something is wrong. Would be a nice feature to have. Also, prevents people from finding who is running what process instead of bouncing too often. This can also fix the problems of people deleting other people's processes.

I think the better idea would be to make a self-note about the last log entry on your system. That's how I would know if any new logs were formed if the date has been changed.

I think it would be nice to not let anyone know if any changes were made to the logs.

Like if i deleted a log. And then try to recover, it would say use a higher version.

Now if it was not modified, it would say it was not modified. Why not make it that if you don't have a high enough version, say no changes were found. And do the same thing as it was not modified. That would just make a person more determined if it was modified...
