- You should see a blue [Owned] next to the process that belongs to your gateway in remote systems "Running Software". This helps identify your own processes.

- Bounce connection has been improved, once you bounce every action you make on the remote server is logged with the last bounce IP not the gateway IP. This does pose some identification issues when accessing the "Running Software" of the remote host to complete a task since the task will be marked with the last IP you bounced, but the update that tags [Owned] to your processes will help here.

- Anti-virus will not detect hidden active virii, but it will report that there is something hidden it can not see, and you should run a better File UnHider on the gateway to be able to AV the file. This makes hiding of active virii very important to protect them against AV.

- When an upload is finished and task is completed, the bandwidth will adjust on your gateway properly to run the other download / uploads.

- Anti-virus on Public and Secret servers can be run with more then 100% CPU / memory. This is because there are disinfect missions that require the AV to run on the server.

- added a little log link next to the process type, when clicking this log link it will open up the connection server lol of the admin that made the process.

- bounce connection will make a log on the previous and next target, something like "Proxy connection from [IP] to [IP] established."
- the origin of the proxy connection will look like this in the server logs: "Origin proxy connection to [IP] established." The server with this log is the first link of the bounce.
- log time when doing a bounce is preserved to keep the consistency of the bounce, e.g. if you connect at 00:00 to the first node and then at 00:10 to the next, the logs will be entered at 00:00 time. This should make bounce connections easier to track down.

- increased the public servers capacity and power so they can hold more virii 1

at the moment there are no missions on the first secret server =/

Hm, there should be a few on each server...
If you accept them all it's normal that they don't show up you should check the Mission Data...
918  HP Info Terminal / F.A.Q. / Re: secret server on: June 24, 2008, 01:09:56 PM
Yeah they could follow the route but they have to hack each server you bounced and check the logs to get the prev IP until they reach your gateway.

But you don't want to bounce via the secret server because you would give the secret server IP away and then have more competition on making the missions on the secret server.

we were having our first hacker war on teh omnicron server this morning, with people trying to install and kill the adware bot =P...

(p.s, i think that there should be a report log function, as some swearing broke out when things got a little tense =/)

We have a filter, we could filer bad words in logs  1

But was the hacker was fun?   laugh

Also, if you click on "HP partner" in the game on the left main menu, you can pass your partner link to others.

That way you gain HPD and credit that you could use to upgrade your Hacker Project account to Gold.

And remember to vote, the vote sites bring in new players.

One other thing, most small reward files take a lot of time to delete. Is there anything you can buy to make it go faster, or are you always going to have to wait so long?

It won't go faster because the others will be at a disadvantage but you can upgrade the CPU and if you find secret servers you will have less competition on the missions and be able to run more tasks at once, completing more missions and gaining more HPD.
922  HP Info Terminal / F.A.Q. / Adware Spam Daemon - first step in virii HP Dollar making on: June 24, 2008, 12:15:36 PM
"Adware Spam Daemon" is the first virii you should install on others ingame gateways. It requires some CPU, mem and 3 kbs free bandwidth.

You can get the virus at any "True Light Software Repository" public server from the "Public FTP"

How to install and gain HPD:

- connect / bounce to the target IP
- acquire Admin access
- goto your gateway "Files / Programs"
- find the VIR file "Adware Spam Daemon" and click "Upload"
- wait for the upload to complete, you can do other hacks in between
- when the upload is complete, connect to host again and complete the upload process
- goto host "Files / Programs", find the VIR file and click "Install", should take only a few minutes
- Once installed, check your "Software" in the left main menu, you should see the VIR file in there
- Disconnect and do something else


Collect HPD virus profits:

- the VIR you just installed is working, consuming the target resources to your own benefit
- in "Software", check out when the file has run 1 hour or more
- make sure you check the host Running Software for any spyware installed, if the spyware version is equal or greater then the vir you just installed it will steal your profits when you try to collect...  1

- click "Collect" to receive the profits it has made for you
- you now have the profits and can do other stuff like installing more virii files (like the File Share VIR)  13

Other tips:
- If you are online and notice something in your "Running Software" like "Receiving Upload file Adware Spam Daemon" kill the process quickly  13


Good Luck!

Sometimes when I delete a file, it says it deleted, but I check and it's still there, and it doesn't count as my mission being complete.

It may have been a bug that was fixed, you should try it now, if you can get a small reward mission it will take only a couple of minutes.

I also posted a quick guide on the delete mission:

924  HP Info Terminal / F.A.Q. / Newbie Mission Tutorial on: June 24, 2008, 11:41:49 AM
Here is the fastest way to complete the "Delete File" mission:

- Access the target, start the delete file process.
- Hack something else while the process is running
- Monitor your gateway delete process and when completed
- connect to the target IP in green in the process
- Access Running Software on the target
- Look for the file # corresponding to your gateway IP (there may be more hackers with task complete on the same file, ignore that and click complete on your task)
- Pay attention if it says it deleted the file, or better yet check the remote logs. It may say the file is not there, if that is the case then you were too late, someone else got it first.
- File deleted, access "Mission data". Search for file # you just deleted, you can use the browser search function
- Note the mission details, it should say in red: "File Deleted"
- Complete the mission and get the reward


Other tips:
Try to get a mission with a low reward at first, e.g. delete a Log Deleter for example, it may be better in learning how to complete the higher reward ones because it takes only a couple of minutes to delete a lower size file as opposed to a big file that could take hours.

The time may seem like a lot to wait in the beginning but once you upgrade your CPU and you make like 10-15 missions at a time, you'll find yourself completing jobs faster then you can start them.

What you need to do is check the Bulletin boards on those public servers, and only take the 5 - 15 HPD missions, 5 at a time in the beginning. Don't worry about being traced in the beginning, they can't really damage you because if they do you can format and get all the basic software back.

So once you got a few hundred HPD, just invest those in CPU until you get like 1500 CPU and do lots of missions like that. When you have enough HPD invest in some viruses and other cool stuff and you should be fine 1

And now this message
2 mission(s) have been removed having been completed by someone else!

That is a normal message, missions are public you are competing with the others on completing them. It's basically the first to complete the mission is the one who gets the reward and all the others get this message and if they have a del process on the same file it will say "Target file not found!" because someone else got there first.

The gateway file delete should work fine now, just tested it.

Thank you

Deleting files on gateway was not completing the process, it has been fixed now.
927  HP Info Terminal / F.A.Q. / Find secret servers on: June 24, 2008, 12:20:06 AM
Once you get some HPD from some missions or virii, you might want to visit the software dealer to "Purchase target IP" and get the "Budget hacker server IP".

It will possibly give the IP of some secret servers of the mega-corporations or True Light. The servers can contain additional and higher payed missions and may be less crowded and good places to plant virii.


What to do when you reach a secret server:

You don't need to access the secret server admin, click on "Public FTP" on it and download / see the protection software.
It should be a better protection software on it. Now while you wait for that, access the "Bulletin Board" and get some secret missions. The missions may require better software to crack into the other mega-corps secret servers, don't despair the soft should be easy to find / research.

Now while you wait start researching some Password Break software to match what you saw in the "Public FTP" on the server, or go around the lower public servers searching for a better Firewall Bypass and Password Break software to match what you saw on the "Public FTP" on the secret server, it should be easy to find, the files spawn as mission objectives.

Well The Hacker Project has lots of unexplored features now, but we'll certainly add new ones as we come up with more ideas.

There are many types of software we may add later.  1
929  HP Info Terminal / F.A.Q. / Bulletin Board - where you get missions on: June 23, 2008, 10:07:39 PM
The bulletin board is just below the server description, right of the Crack Admin / Admin Login.

If you connect to a True Light server or mega-corporation server you should see a Bulletin Boad link. Once in there, click Accept on a mission and go to Mission Data to see the details.

The download remaining time is shown in the Running Software on host that initiated the download as well as the remote host receiving the download. It's not showing a percent but rather the remaining time needed to get the file. Also note that if you begin several downloads at one bandwidth will be split increasing the time needed to complete the download.
