This was a pretty fun extension to the game considering that pretty much all the popular mods need the dlc. However, I'm pretty sure there's a typo (or bug with the game maybe) with one of the passwords in the CTF mission: sundial is spelled sund14l in the txt file, but I had to use it as sund141 in the big password with all 4 chained with underscores I looked at the mod files, and there doesn't seem to be a typo, so not sure what's going on with that.

Hi i just finished the extension (i think ? it endded when i returned the secret files, maybe i missed some content ? and i hope Hacker wars 2 will come one day !

Hey pixel. Did you perhaps lose one of the previous battles before? You may have had one of your EXE files corrupted.
Go ahead and delete your SSHCrack.exe file and re-download a new one from the Backup server!

Hope that helps! Let me know if you'd like further guidance.

How to hack Curs3 ?
when I use SShcrack i hev block from game

i need help with the ctf mission, i dont know how to decrypt the last file in the server farm #274

bruh the presenter talks over my firewall thing as it sometimes even brakes it wth

I know I'm saying it might not be possible, but is it possible to translate it into Japanese? (I use google translate because I don't understand English)

Thanks for your authorization, I have created a repository on GitHub, you can check my latest progress here. https://github.com/qwq233/HackerWar-Chinese-Translation-Project

Hi there @gao_cai_sheng, that is a very kind offer indeed and definitely would be highly appreciated, if you think you're up to it! If you have the time to do a good translation I'd be more than happy for you to have a go!

I'm afraid I don't know any Chinese myself so will be unable to review anything you submit. Once you're happy enough with it, send me a GitHub link or something and I'll be happy to upload here or you can upload yourself so long as you leave credit somewhere

Hello, I am a fan of this game from China.
i found your extension in the workshop and was surprised by its amazing.
But the language of this extension is English, so some Chinese lovers may have language barriers and cannot experience this extension, so I want to try to translate your extension, hoping to get your authorization

I really liked some of the details, such as having Naix as an enemy, the virus hidden as a pork cracker on defeat or the multiple ends (although I only did one) .

If it wasn't for the l33t, I wouldn't know whether it was about unknown or me, so I'm on the l33t speak's side

Haha, thanks for the kind words. And just like! The l33t speak revolution has BEGUN!!

It was nice ^^

I picked "unkn0wn" as my nickname this time, pretty awkward ^^'

Nice mod, but i would really like a multiplayer

Thanks @Michael! It means a lot to me, even now!!
Hi there @Panda. I've posted some info in the Help discussion for you! I hope you'll find it helpful, but if not, pop another message there and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

REALLY, I'M STUCK. HELP PLS

Is there any walkthrough video? I stucked in Crypto-Splinter mission.

Fun extension, thank you for making it.

@Kyouma lmaooo I just remembered that, had me crying and yelling and looking for something to hit because I didn't know if it was the game's font fault or mine for being blind

So to everyone struggling with the Capture the Flag mission after browsing the file to see if I was mistyping and after reading a lot of the comments the mistake I was making and the one a lot seem to be making is the final password is sund_14l (lower case L is the second one not a 1)

@Admiral Joshua
No worries! I know it isn't your fault. You did try to help me the other time and we couldn't find the issue. The hint, could be a bit more refined tho.
I forgot the exact order, but the order I believe was ReadMe #103, #206, #097 and the hint could have been more like, R1_22_33_34 or something like that, where the first letter (or number) is the number (or name) of the servers.
Great extension tho. I'm trying to make one by myself and while I have the story, the overall .xml editing is long and can be quite confusing. My hat off to you sir.

Hi there @Yeou. Thanks for the tip!! Maybe Hacknet doesn't really like my `_` in the password after all?? That's actually a really nice quick way around for those who are completely stuck. Sorry I couldn't have been of more help! Honestly that puzzle isn't my finest work!! Could use a bit of tidy-up and planning for the future!!

Glad to hear you've enjoyed the extension though!!

Ok. Nvm. I sort of fixed it by myself. I didn't want to use this method but... for anyone who experience the same problem as I do, do this.
Warning. Spoiler included.

Go to: SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\365450\937939681\Missions
You will see a file called CaptureTheFlag.xml

Open it up. (I recommend using Notepad++)
At the top, you will see

<goal type="getstring" target=" p4tch_sund141_w1r3d_h4ndsh4k3" />

target="p4tch_sund141_w1r3d_h4ndsh4k3" is the one that we need to type in our reply email.

I've just changed this set of string to p4tch and it worked perfectly.
I have no idea why the original password did not work.
But this method will fix the issue for sure.

It's a shame that I had to go through this. It isn't the creator's fault either.
My thanks to the creators of the extension.

Hey I'm back. Still can't figure out how to finish Capture the flag mission tho.
I know the final password (as you have told me before). It's
midn1gh7_w1r3d_sund141_ov3rfl0w
Yet, when I attach this to the email (the one that gives you information to start the mission), it keep says that I have not completed the mission. I am wondering what I have not done. I have found the last server and I have opened all .dec files. I really want to continue this extension but even after a complete format of my computer, this mission still is not working. Is it a different email address that I need to attach the password to?

I was really enjoying this extension until I reached the poorly-explained, over-complicated Capture the Flag mission and had to give up out of frustration. Still, it has some ambitious ideas and hacking into an opponent's computer before you get hacked yourself is great.

I just finished the expansion it was quite good ! At the last mission to either give unknown guy or Cyber. I first thought the unknown as he "helped" me. I was looking around and find a txt that was decryption code. Cool hiding spots!

Overall I quite enjoyed it!

Hi there @Sara. Sorry I never got back to you!! Glad you managed to fix it!! And thank you so much for the feedback!!!

Hi there @Inadversary. Yep, it sounds like one of the opponent hacker's got to your EXE files. Don't worry though, just go into your files and delete your Webserverworm.exe file, then go ahead and download a new copy from your backup server!! Hope that helps!!

I have a problem with the command WebServerworm. Every time I try to use it. All it does is popup a menu on the side saying "error" and it doesn't go away until I crash.

actually nvm, I have no idea what I did but I solved it, I guess that's what matters.

Great extension!

I forgot to add an 'a' between I'm and young God damn it.

Hey! I'm really glad such a great extension exists (I wanted to cry because all the good ones require Labyrinths and I'm young, broke, child. Time to blackmail my dad.) Anyways, I've reached the Capture the Flag thingy, and I'm trying to decypher the secret_stash.dec I got from #097, but all the passwords are wrong! (cookie, sund141, and another one I forgot.) I'm pretty sure that it should be sund141 but no matter what I do, it doesn't work. Help? Again, this is an amazing extension, great job man!

https://steamcommunity.com/id/bastian4506fortestsubject/screenshot/958602832015140086 i think theres an problem

Sounds like a hackathon, or whatever the hacking community calls them. I'll try it out. Hopefully it doesn't require the DLC, which I don't have. I think a multiplayer implimentation would be really cool!

This extension is great, but you should add something if we kill forkbomb before it crashes computer.

It seems to work properly after I change entire account. Sorry

I reinstalled it, but it's still some sort of buggy. For example no buttons for login into gmail and double "Gmail" head text

On XNA version of hacknet. Gmail doesn't work. It's just closes for some reason.

As long as it happens :) Thanks!

Okay, I just double checked the Workshop files with my files, that really is the solution. Very very strange issue indeed. I'm really sorry that it has meant you can't continue. At least you haven't missed out on too much more ;) Also really glad to hear you're enjoying it! I'd definitely love to make one too, but I wanna make sure I do it right, so it's probably not gonna happen for a little while sadly :( But it will ;)

Thank you for your help :)
Unfortunately that is the exact code I've found. I've done Steam cache check before and nothing popped up. I am thinking of just restarting the game. But I am enjoying your extension. And I'd love to see Hacker Wars 2.

Okay, sorry to hear you're having issues. I've heard a lot of people having issues with that mission so don't worry, you're not alone. Looking at my files I have the exact code here, with no other missions goals so it should automatically complete. So, I'll pop the code here under spoiler tags, and you can check it with what you've found! p4tch_sund14l_w1r3d_h4ndsh4k3

There, I hope that helps you, if it doesn't I'm not exactly sure what the problem might be and I'll have to take another look at the files for you! Other than that, thanks for playing! And let me know if that helps or not :)

Haha yeah. I haven't played HN for some time and I thought porthack was visible in the bin folder! But I am stuck in somewhere else now. I got the strings, a_b_c_d where a b c d are the "passwords", but whenever I try to replay back the string it says the mission isn't finished. It won't allow me to reply. I know I got the right words.

Oh no, Porthack is built in you should be okay without the exe to use that command ;) But glad to hear you managed to solve the issue!! Really hope you enjoyed the extension albeit rather confusing towards the end... ;)

Nvm. I got it. Though I my bin file never shows Porthack...

Ok. I'm confused. I am stuck from the beginning. No ID or PW to login to the Unknown's Depository nor is there a way to login to my own backup server. I found a program called Forkbomb though. Not sure why it is there because it just crashes my ingame computer.

This sounds so cool. I'm gonna give it a try once I beat the main game.

Cheers, looks great.

Having an issue. When I first start, I scan and find my backup server, but can't find any other servers anywhere via scans, email, etc. No way to progress whatsoever. I've played the base game, Labyrinths and 5 mods so am very comfortable finding every possible tiny clue, but I see nothing so this must be a bug (or I'm really missing something obvious?).

This extension is awesome, but there seems to be a problem where the opponent's invasion happens before the countdown has finished, so basically for 5 seconds I can't defend myself (the countdown clears your input every time), while the opponents are hacking me.

I finished the both ending, I really liked it !

Hmm, okay, this sounds like an odd issue to say the least. I would try recovering your data first and completing that, then you should be able to take on the contract again. Now that you've deleted everything from Curs3, try uploading something random to his bin or sys folder and then deleting that again... That should get the mission to complete itself... might have just glitched out, or you might have JUST ran out of time. But no worries. Hope that solves the problem for you man!
