The Hacker Project - a free online game

Ahh, my bad, for some reason I was thinking the generic start option was there and run would in this case start the more temporary programs.  You're right, and it seems especially odd since install is there.

F>  Some Riolic viruses have had their activations canceled or were forgotten for some other reason.
G>  Other people downloaded that particular adware because of F and use it.

I've seen evidence indicating that both of these are true.  Hell, I even have one of that filetype waiting to be activated (I took the activation from someone who disinfected one of my virii.)  The file seems rather widespread, while writing this, I happened upon someone who had a renamed version of it for example.

Well, right now there are 1-2 extra pages to click through for every program you run, so, without a fairly major change, or a series of popups, that makes sense.

With those stats, a format would take 133.333 days...  So that's rather unlikely.

Yep, has been for quite a while now apparently.

As per the previous thread, the Logic Bomb is TNW too.

In that specific example, a mission for the order seems a little silly.  There are only 24 combination, it seems like any mission is going to be harder than just trying those.  I'd suggest giving the order as you get them.  (i.e.  On completing the second mission, "You now know 2 octets of this IP!  xxx.168.xxx.20").

I like the file assembly mission idea a bit better though, current file spawning feels like it needs something to supplement it after we get a certain length into a round (like now).

It should basically be a matter of adding two lines and some curly brackets really.

Gah, I somehow managed to leave a zero off my 32000 when I tried to check and couldn't figure out what went wrong.  I feel much better now. XD

Only 632 for that one...  Wow that makes my Adwares feel worthless.

Apparently I'm not aware of much.   

Anyway, kudos, I wish you'dve added an update so I could've thanked you then.

...Wait, what?...  Last I was aware, malware disinfects weren't working, and even if they were, your malware, which you reported earlier as being the v2 out there, would not have any AV capable of disinfecting it.  No overload bombs over v0.5 are capable of being disinfected atm.

...Weird.

You ARE aware that there has been a v1.76 server since last Thursday or so, right?...  In the coming weeks, it seems likely that we'll see quite a few higher than that.

According to every forum search I can think of, if he ever gave any time estimate other than saying it was about the same as activation time,  the post no longer exists.  I've seen the half number flying around a bit, but it is most likely just speculation

The thing is, the game guide talks about preventing revelation from destroying the world after all 10 have been activated.  It implies that if all 10 are stopped, then the world is saved (though it seems the reset still happens in this saved world somehow?).  If the disinfect time of the most recently activated one is over 24 hours, then that is impossible.

...Furthermore, if it takes 40+ hours to disinfect, activating one every 6 hours would still be troublesome.  In that case, if you were coordinated and activating v0.1's, nobody could keep you from getting 7 infected, at which point you would be be deadlocked if you had steadfast disinfectors.  If the 40 number is right, and activation and disinfects scale like normal viruses, then a coordinated group, installing a 0.136 virus every 6 hours, would be impossible to stop.

The activation thing is a global timer.  Meaning that once one has finished activation, nobody in the game can finish another activation for the next 6 hours.

This is well deserved and has been a long time coming.  I don't comment much on public activities, but I have to say, I would support this course of action even if I had nothing to do with SGP.
