What is Blizzard Updater?

[Panto Ocelot]

I logged onto the Credits server you find after you beat the game a long while after I originally finished with my old save when I heard the Beta for the DLC was released, I probed the system and found Blizzard Updater on port 3724 in it, with all the other ports you find.

I've got everything from Clock.exe to the Honey_xserver.sys, and don't see anything new in the credits server's /bin that I don't already have, nor any idea where any other hidden things could be.

So, anyone have an idea what this is?

I can't tell if thats the actual response or a joke.
But ether way, thanks, I could've guessed that.

[cataclysm]

nah i don't do jokes, sure the odd quip, jape or a pun if see it, but otherwise i'm all out of jokes.

there is a good chance dlc will do something with it, or maybe it's just filler, like most of the logs.
perhaps it will be used to test mods when those come around.

[Panto Ocelot]

Speaking of logs, I liked reading the bash logs you find, its how I found out about the site.

> init pass_tracer.exe -u /Pantone Ocelot_

*looks over to the agent* it´s supper secret but i´ll tell you. it´s not added to the game and won´t be added anytime soon. but don´t tell anyone about this super secret ungeuessable fact.

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed you had no way to talk in the IRC. Only put text in the "additional details"

[Zapytajnick]

Nono.. He meant, real MultiPLAYER He had an idea that you could open someones CD Tray via that command.

[cataclysm]

the demo game of this had multyplayer where you could freak other people out doing that

[Zapytajnick]

So what happened? :}

[cataclysm]

it was underplayed(and not a littlebit at that) and as such it was shelved, also it was over a lan network and not the internet.

also back then(from what i could find) is that the commands weren't as snappy as they are now and as such the ability to rofflestomp was both hard to do and hard to counter

[Zapytajnick]

Hacknet is a story game based of hacking. The only reason for you to buy it is for Plot and/or "feeling" like hacker.

[Cytex]

or you got it for free on humble :D

Though to be honest, after playing I would have been happy paying for the game regardless. It is really good at what it does.
