The Hacker Project - a free online game

I can't say this is logical but it answer my question. Thanks DamascuS.

My noob question on hide/encrypt: is it useful at all to hide/encrypt your file if you only have 1 server and no secure FTP? That's because when you hide/encrypt a file and you still want to use it every now and then, you will have to keep a unhide/decrypt soft available on the server. So if someone breaks into your server, it's always a cakewalk for him to unhide/decrypt the file and do whatever he want, right?

The fact is my CPU=1100, which is not CPU>1100, and I'm out of protection. I have error in my previous expression so here it goes again.

A player is still in protection when:
(CPU<1100 or CPU=1100)
AND
(Bandwidth<10 or Bandwidth=10)
AND
(log in every 7 days)


A player is no longer protected when:
CPU reaches 1100 or above(>= that is)
OR
Bandwidth reaches 10 or above(same as above)
OR
(not logged in for the last 7 days)

A player is still in protection when:
CPU<1100 or CPU=1100
OR
Bandwidth<10 or Bandwidth=10
OR
(not logged in for the last 7 days)

Ah well...

That contradicts then.:S

OK, here's my serious question:

CPU=1100
BW=8KB

Here is my current hardware and why did I get cracked by someone? I think I'm still under newbie protection no? For more details: some people logged in my gateway, install the adware virii in the harddisk(I downloaded it a while back to use it on a potential inactive I found, but I could not upload it because the target is still under newbie protection), and uploaded a higher version of adware virii. I killed the upload process and was trying to get rid of the installed one. Then someone bounced onto my gateway and disinfect it(after I changed my password). So I have to thank the second visitor(or maybe they are the same person who knows) for what he/she did so far.

I have no hard feeling at all, but I have to know: is it a newbie protection bug?

Thanks, Krieger. Didn't expect the info is hidden in News section though, as when I started a game, I only check guides and FAQs, but not news...

Hi, all,

Another noob question from me: When will the newbie protection end? Is it a fixed period or determined by hardware / software, mission completion? And how long will an inactive not login to be out of newbie protection?

Thanks for the reply, Zac.

And that brings out my second question: What's the use of installing virii onto other servers at all, described in newbie guides? Newbie like me have low version files and chance of someone already having higher version of spywares installed on the servers is so big. So my collecting HPD from virii from anywhere is always doomed to profit interception and IP exposure no?

Hi, all,

Here is a noob question on spyware. Suppose I install a virii onto a mega-corp server to gather HPD and there is a spyware of higher version running on the server. Will it intercept all my profit and log my IP? The game guide says the spyware is installed on gateway, but what's the use to log gateway IP if it's already installed there?

Hello, all,

It's Serin here. I came across this game yesterday and found it's quite interesting. Here's my best wishes to all and hope to meet you ingame.
