What I'm noticing is certain exploit scripts (such as unlocking or downloading password file) only work if a non-root user or root is on, depending on which script you're using. I'm sort of wondering if you need to wait until another user is on (which you can, in theory, monitor through a guest account) and then run the exploit to gain access. So far, this hasn't worked out for me because no one else is ever on and being logged in as guest doesn't count as a user, from what I can tell. But maybe you'll have better luck with this than me? It should totally work so long as someone else is on. I'm not sure if npc users periodically log on and off or if I have to wait for a real player in multiplayer to connect to the machine, as I'm playing online.
But the game is intentionally supposed to be difficult. There's some guides in the Guide section but they're all very out of date and reference things that have been removed from the game, such as nukessh.
Once I get this figured out (and I will, because I get stubborn with things like this) I'm hoping I can write an updated guide.
Many thanks for ur post
and i am also in offline play
I will be waiting for ur guide to read it and benefit from it
keep me in the Loop please I can use ur help :)
You trigger npcs by getting the admin's contact info from the target server and then emailing the admin with a template email. (Covered in the 'social engineering' part of the guide you posted.)
This game is much more complex than I was expecting and I dig it, I'm just having issues getting started.
Thank u for saying that Me and u both :)
thanks
Try using whois on the target machine (every ip has different info). I've also had luck finding a few exploits on the shop for accessing accounts or changing passwords locally
I've found a bunch of exploit scripts to download/view the password file and unlock the proper directory (usually /etc) but they won't work without a user being logged in, and being logged in as guest apparently doesn't count, which is the only account I've been able to access so far. Some of them need root logged in, which I haven't figured out a way to do either.
I grab info from whois and have tried every template email and it never works. I either get an email back saying, "I'm the administrator of this system, you're trying to scam me" (if the template starts off saying I'm an admin) or "There's no user of this system with that name" (for anything trying to get user logins, library versions for exploits, etc.) I feel like if I could just find a system somewhere that's running SMTP, I could maybe use that smtp user list exploit to get an actual user name and then use a template because I have a valid user name, but I can't find an SMTP server running anywhere.
I mean, I've spent _hours_ playing and more hours reading guides on the net (most of which are outdated and no longer apply to the current version) and I'm getting absolutely no where in this game. I've gotten into one router as guest and that's it. I can't do another damn thing. It's starting to get kind of frustrating, honestly. I don't know what I'm missing here or what I'm doing wrong, but, honestly, it feels like it's not actually possible to progress any further than I've gotten.
(as an aside, the funny thing is, I went through a hacking phase in the mid-90s and getting root in real life is far easier than this game. I mean, I doubt anything I did in 1995 is going to work anymore in 2020, but the game itself appears to be set in 1992, so I was hoping the knowledge would transfer over, it does not. Can't just deshadow the password file, download it and run it through a brute force program, I guess. I mean, the exploits I found in game appear to do the equivalent of deshadowing the password file, and I have decipher which I assume is a brute force password cracker, but the password exploits need users logged in for some reason, which appears to be the major roadblock for me.)
what did u do in 1995 ? This is the best place to Brag about it :)
That's about it. I logged in once to see if it worked and it did. I just wanted to see if it was doable and it was. I never had any intention of messing with, or even looking at, anything in the system. I just wanted to see if I could get logged in as root, and I could!
I also put a key logger on a college computer and watched in amazement as the Lab Admin sat down at that computer 2 minutes later and used it. His password was "pumpkin". Mid 90's sys admins sure thought about food a lot.
That stunt got me banned from the computer lab, despite the fact it was the same thing. See if root password works, it did, I was done. But my idiot friend panicked and told the sys admin I had hacked the network. wtf. I was done, I wasn't going to do anything else. The sys admin was pissed I'd just created more work for him, more than being mad at me for hacking. He apparently didn't want to have to figure out a way to prevent key loggers. (He ended up designating one of the three labs as for teachers/admin only and locked the door so students couldn't get in. He wasn't concerned about students getting compromised in the slightest. He eventually let me back in but I was restricted to using one specific computer in the lab, which was monitored more heavily than the others.
All this over me wanting to log in and out as admin.
