Academic Change Mission
I'm new to the game and wondering how to get started on the Academic Change mission. I've received the email with the ip and name of record to change. I used the whois command to locate the email and name of the administrator. What do I do from there?

you can "nmap" the ip adress, then you see which ports are opened.
for example, if "http" port is opened, buy that "shellweb" version in the hackshop (ex:

PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION
80 open http 1.2

this means that you need a program to get in via "http"
one of these programs is "shellweb", it gives you the access to the server as a guest, but you need, in this case, the 1.2 version of "shellweb" (the same of the version of the port)
then you`re in as a guest.
i suggest you to write the command "ps" to see which other server`s users are logged in, if one of them has written "dsession" on the left, means that you are being traced,
if you are, write "FileExplorer.exe" in the terminal as fast as you can and go to the folder called "var", then double click on the file system.log and delete the log that says "Shell obtained...".
Then EXIT IMMEDIATELY by writing "exit" in the terminal,
if you are being enough fast, you`re safe, delete the mission`s mail and start a new mission.
if you wrote "ps" and it says that noone is logged in, check all the folders until you see a program called "StudentsViewer.exe", run that and go to the student that is the mission about, then, do what the mission ask, go to the folder "var", double click on the file "system.log", delete the log that says "Shell obtained" and exit by tiping "exit" in the ternminal.
now answer the mission`s mail writing "done" or anything else.

The mission is done :D

Now, i`ll suggest you another thing
if you are in and you are safe cause no more users are logged in, before exiting from the system, go to the folder "home"
then, get into a User`s folder, get into the "Config" folder and copy the file "Bank.txt" on your desktop.
then download "decipher" from the HackShop and type in a new terminal "cd Desktop" and then "decipher Bank.txt"
as you can see the program has started deciphering the User`s Bank account`s password.
now, open a new FileExplorer.exe (the icon on your desktop) and go to the Desktop`s folder, then, double click on the file "Bank.txt"
it opens with "Notepad.exe", now you will se something like:

194563794:Uncihoefbh29vrhf0-93490y9wqvy6803r09

The numbers before the ":" symbol are the User`s account.
now, follow the steps

-Open Browser.exe by double-clicking the icon on your desktop,
-write in the search bar "bank"
-open one of the links
-go to the section "Login"
*The numbers that you see in the "Account number" sring are your Bank account`s number,
copy that on Notepad.exe an let it opened*
-clear the Account Number`s string and write the hacked User`s number there (in this case, the hacked account number is "194563794")
-use the password that the "decipher" terminal gets
-press "Login"
*Now you`re in the hacked user`s bank account, you can see the amount of money exc...,
you can also see a button called "Perform transaction"*
-press the button "Perform transaction"
-select the amount of money and write your User`s Bank account number on the string "destination account"
-press "new transaction"
-now press another time on the section "Login"
-as you can see your user`s credentials are default
-login to your accont
-check that the transiction has happened

Now you have much money XD

do this for as much users as you want :D

Good Luck and let me know if you need something else, my multiplayer`s nickname is "N", sometimes you will find me online, I`m happy to help you if you don`t understand something or if you need everything else :steamhappy:

Thanks for the tips! Mission success! Any advice on how to get started on a police record mission? After using the nmap on the ip address, it says the smtp port is open, so I bought the highest level shellmail program to hack. But I need a username and password. Tips?

ok so you want to do a who is and smtp-user-list scan so you can send one of them an email to get their password. if you have the name of the administorator then you can email any of the people as the administorator to get them to email you their password and with these credentials you can use the shellmale software to get it

Can this question be answered for the current version of the game?

I'm so confused. I've only been able to hack people that provide a name and you can use "whois" to find the admin and use the login issues social engineering email. I've downloaded a few different exploits for ftp and http and they always require a user and it always says "No active user found". What do I have to do?

They don't always require a user to be logged in. A lot of them do, but not all.

First, you need to read the exploits descriptions before you buy them. It will tell you what it gets you, and what the requirements are. Sometimes you'll have to try and see if they work. Depending on what information you know, you could use Social Engineering to trick somebody into logging in, or you could get them to open a malicious file, etc.

If that doesn't work, then trial and error with the ones you have available. If you can't get anything to work, then you're going to need to learn the scripting language, GreyScript, because there are still undiscovered vulnerabilities in every version.
