How do you open ports?
I just got this game to try something new, but I stumbled on one problem with the game, I can't open ports... Please explain this someone!

select a PC, type "probe" then "porthack" into the console. As you progress you will unlock more items to break into tougher security measures.

Not what I meant, I know how to crack the system, but I don't know how to open a specific amount of ports necessary to do that...

Well if it requires one port open you can use the sshcracker.exe to unlock the SSH which is port 22. The other ports each have their own program that you need to use to open that port. So if you need to open 3 ports you need at least 3 of the different programs. These programs are unlocked as you progress and do more jobs.
Oh! I didn't know that thank you! I never thought of that! I'm on a 3 port lock and a 4 port lock networks so I suppose I must do some other levels first...
Again, thank you. I restarted the game because I messed up BADLY going the wrong direction at the wrong time, was sloppy, and didn't have the right software. Now I'm getting somewhere! Like I said, thank you, I couldn't find any tutorials online...

I'm getting "open additional ports on target machine" on Viper's, when "porthack" after "probe".

Whether main game, DLC, or Mods, the number of ports needed for crack is any ports you can hack. Only exception will be breaching a firewall or proxy, even then there are exceptions. If doing the main campaign, you should find everything you need just before it's required.

Break the security, ports, then porthack. Utilize trace kill or similar if possible.
