Hacking Test and Results
Ive tried hacking various things so far. The following are the recorded results.

Trade Terminal w/ Security Decryption System: Gave buy/sell bonus equal to Medium status. I dont know what the % is quite yet. The price for Hull parts at the target station was at 527 and was reduced to 506. Its possible there was already a discount on the Hull parts, but the station was only about 25% full.

Production Terminal w/ Security Decryption System: no noticable effects. Efficiency stayed at 122%, production cycle time stayed constant, and production per hour stayed the same at 1068.

Construction Line Terminal w/ Security Decryption System: no noticable effects. As with Production Terminal, there was no change in efficiency, time or parts per hour.

Storage System Control Panel w/ Security Decryption System: Dropped about 150 hull parts out of 5283 on the station and some medical/food stuff. Doesnt appear to be particularly useful.

It would appear that the only useful thing in the Engineering room to hack is the Trade Terminal if you are going to be making multi million $ buys or sells.

I would really like to see more feedback so its clear what is happening.

One of the hacks make all trade offers disappear, station is in stasis for some time then.

Do you remember which station you did the hack at?
If you want also to see what says about this topic a person that studied it and played for 600+ hours check this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hif0w9W5Qqc
PS: If you hack wharf or shipyard and go close you can see that there are a lot of cargo around the station to grab. The best deal I made with hacking is over 20 Million hacking Argon Prime Wharf when it was full. And anyway you can't sell those tools how told dev they didn't allow this to incentivate people use them.

Decent videos, even with the accent :)
i hacked the production lines of my smart ships competitor in the sector adn it worked wonders, sold all my stock and cornered the market.

You're brilliant. You reminded me of all the hacking games out there. I still never played the infamous Shadowrun on Genesis. Hacknet looks great and has an amazing soundtrack. Thanks!

Hacks are the same in every station. It was in engineering bay I think. You can make the station drop goods, halt their production line or halt their trade activities.
