The Hacker Project - a free online game

you would be surprised

...

uh huh.. back to the topic at hand...

yes, it has been requested before, but hell.

i can only think of two ways to organise:

by name
by ip

my suggestion was to add a *last* option

to be honest, i would prefer a search function, but one step at a time

Now, the current problem is that ANYONE at the very beginning can break into anyone else's computer.

0.1 attack >0.1 defence.

This leads to severe frustration as some peopel just want to be mean and delete/kill all processes, even if their targets in question were simply dling improved defences.

MY suggestion was originally: make it like hiding files. 0.1 defence > 0.1 attack. However, this would have lead to severe wierdness about the servers.

Therefore, im wondering if it is too much to ask for beginners to start with a 0.101 (or something perhaps a 0.106) password/firewall protect. Or in fact, just start with a beginning firewall/pass word protect that is higher than the beginning firewall/password breaker.

I know this does not address the uber-strong hackers from still wrecking carnage, but one step at a time? =/

thoughts?

IT says in teh manual:

 Since the file is intercepted directly from the router and the communications are encrypted, the file will also be encrypted with a version equal to the intercepted software version

i interpret this as:

player Y has intercepted player X's file, version 0.25.  player Y therefore needs a decryptor valued at 0.25 or above inorder to use this file.

Am i correct? or does the program file have to be encrypted in the first place for the decryption part to take hold?

minor suggestion here.

atm i like the idea of having load levels, (i.e, running password at double if you have the system resources)

however, i would like the option to crack two-passwords , if not more, simultaneously rather than having to do it one at a time.

He's not talking about the gold ftp server. they are useless to clans as only the account holder can access it.

he means buying a new server entirely. plant defences, use it as a means ot transferring stuff.

not cheap at 20k though.

well... i have some people i already don't like in this game..

let's say they've been doing a lot of things they don't know about ^_^

hmm..

would it be considered for this to work in reverse?

i know its an utter pain for newbies who get infected to then have to download at a snails pace due to compromised bandwidth.

just a thought

=(

it will allow you to upload and download faster, but it also depends on where you are uploadingto/downloading from.

i'll leave this one to the admin and i'm slightly confused about this myself.

things which deter hackers:

large co-operations. Lots of logs to sift through

gateways with active defences. takes time, and if you plant modified logs, they might take the bait.

a bounce trail which goes in a loop.

(A big scary warning message saying follow at your peril or something similar xD)

Reformat and change ip?

I do. ALready traced dozens of people in this game, an un-deleted log is not above my scrutiny.

you cannot delete installed virii without appropriate anti-virii

however yes, you can upload/install it on target gate way and delete it from your gateway, but that is tedious and you will need to re-download it every time you want to upload it
