A few tips

A few tips on how to better play Hacking Sim

Cloudsec

Stealing accounts
Cloudsec will very often offer you missions to "Steal Sweam accounts with at least 10 games" or "steal a Mamazon account worth at least $20" etc. When Cloudsec offers you this kind of mission, you don't have to use Show_me to steal the account from. Instead, you can steal the account from another one of your clients' targets while you're searching through their file system. Just make sure that the account that Cloudsec is asking for meets the account you stolen from, as usual.

This can save you money and time from cracking show_me ips (This includes the exploit compilation you have to do later on, this can get expensive). You cannot do this, however, if they ask you to steal from a specific IP or phish a certain person for the account.

Phishing

When you need to phish a person to get into their network, 98% of the time their primary interest will have exactly 6 hits (that is, keywords they put in), and their secondary interest will have exactly 4 hits. This makes it extremely easy to find out what their primary interest is to phish their account.

Here is a small list of all the interests some commentators and I have found so far, categorized:

Serverzilla

Serverzilla serves as an infinite storage of files for you and you can transfer between Serverzilla and yourself instantly. This makes it a feasible resource early game for storing exploits (I like to store basically all my kiddiesdb exploits I've already used in my serverzilla and check when I need it, and compiled exploits ) and later on for storing dlls and documents. It can even become a valuable resource for storing login info for later selling to Cloudsec, if you get a grasp on what Cloudsec might want. Managing the storage between you and Serverzilla is critical because you will rack up tons of exploits.

Ripperjack

When getting to the part you have to crack ftp and ssh servers, you get access to a new tool called Ripperjack. Ripperjack comes with 4 different dictionaries: Reverse, Diablo, Phantom, and Blade. Now the first thought that might have come to your mind is: "Man, this keytesting is taking way too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ long" Well, let me tell you; you can reduce the time it takes to successfully use ripperjack to 25% (Or even under if you weren't efficiently putting a new ripperjack dictionary in as it completes).
Instead of using one terminal, you use 4 terminals. Set up your command with all the parameters, excluding the dictionary, and paste it into each of the 4 terminals, each using a different dictionary and run the command as you go. Reorder the terminals so you can see some of the text on each terminal. Given you used every available dictionary on the terminals, one of those terminals will crack the password and give you access into the network.

Wifi Encryption

Higher tiers of Wifi Encryption (WEP, WPA, WPA2) Offer increasingly slower detection rate. That is, the higher encryption network you're connected to, the more suspicious activities you can perform before the red bar at the top right of your screen becomes dangerously high. (Needs confirmation)

Mining

Once you get to a certain point, you can start mining shellcoin. I'm gonna tell you, Mining is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LUCRATIVE. LODES OF EMONE- Sorry my killing floor vibe kicked in. What I'm really getting to is, Mining really helped me personally in purchasing all of the upgrades by Ripperjack. In fact, I was purchasing them so fast, I was basically spending more time waiting for Mamazon to deliver the hardware than actually hacking.
What I recommend is keeping at least 2 graphics cards in a rig, make sure your graphics cards don't expire, and you'll reap so much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shellcoin you won't know what to do with it.

Mission: Card skimming

In the current version of hacker simulator, the mission to "Capture 10 credit cards with the skimmer" is bs. for starters, the Skimmer and blank cards are considered delivery items (meaning you can only buy one thing at a time, at least on my save) Each skimmer lasts for about 3 dumps, then it'll be "Stolen". During this time, you won't be able to complete most of Reskator's missions, as you won't be able to buy the Cardwriter or Keyloggermonitor tool. Queue up skimmers and micromanage the atm, you're in for a long wait.

Even then, there's something the game won't tell you: All your captured dumps are thrown into your SERVERZILLA's text folder. This is also the case for captured credit cards using a keylogger while using Keyloggermonitor

Props

A special thank you to Mr. Pink and Richard Siegers who have assisted in the phishing section. I couldn't have done it without you!

Hey guys,

so due to YouTube being actual pricks about my "Hacker Simulator: How to Reset Police Tracing" Video (Marking it for "Harmful or dangerous content")

I have decided to privatize all the Hacker Simulator videos.

This is so I don't get a 3 strike out for some actual bullshit.

This is fucking ridiculous.
Appeal: Rejected
TeamYoutube: Rejected.

@hiendong0123 This is my best idea for you. I don't know if you use Steam Deck or if this game is even compatible with Steam deck, but this method will ONLY work if you have two Windows PCS.

First, get on the computer with the MOST PROGRESS IN HACKER SIMULATOR. Open file explorer and navigate to %appdata%, This will take you to a folder called Roaming. Navigate back on your file path to get to Appdata, then navigate to Local/Hacker_Simulator. You want to copy the Saved folder, put it on a thumb drive or use OneDrive, and then put the file on the computer with the LEAST PROGRESS. Delete the Saved folder on the computer with the LEAST PROGRESS, and then paste your saved folder in.
As to actual cloud saving, seems like Hacker Simulator just doesn't support that. Sorry to say, but you'll be doing manual transfers of saves.

please help me , i play on stream , but stream does not save cloud , i switch device and play again from the beginning , even though it's still the same account

[Payback401]

something to help people who cant beat the timer from typing everything. go ahead a open the notepad in game and pre-type as much as you can so that all you do is copy and past. also if your just looking for documents as soon as you finish downloading the file just click the X on the terminal and it will disconnect and timers will stop then turn in your work

@Decline
Damn dude, I was actually thinking of doing something like that

[Decline]

just created a python script that lets me take a screenshot of a targets interests on fishbook, it automatically reads, detects text, and tells me what account to use.
the list in this guide was very helpful in development

[jpnoir]

hi, I dont know if its a glitch, I seem cant mail the printed card, (mission requested and the right card) at the mailbox.

[dustystax]

@hottythotty If you do not have a contract nothing will populate in fishbook therefore netcat will not grab anything. So in order it would be contract, netcat, search contract target on fishbook, select the correct phising account, then netcat will connect you. Hope this helps
