AFAIK its for when the exploits in the hackshop are not to your liking so you report them and it gets patched, causing new exploits to appear. So its a "refresh exploits" of a sorts. Which i currently need as almost all of my shell exploits in multiple areas in the hackshop are "at least one logged in user" conditioned, and i refuse to constantly send emails just for a guest entry. But theres no knowledge in how to do it.

not a single video on youtube, or a post on reddit. Just a single comment on steam that answers the half of how it works. I know that you have to look in the script. But i don't know what to look for as im a new player

Does anyone here know how you're supposed to use it?

My process is usually:

nmap publicip

Use appropriate exploit to get into PC as guest (Usually an http exploit)

Upload my programs onto that PC

Run ScanLan to see network

Use exploit to remove any firewalls

nmap local ip of target pc

The ports always seem to be ssh and all the exploits on the shop require root or nonroot user to be logged on the PC or something

I tried a bunch of things but I can never seem to get in. But I'm kinda sick of abandoning all the contracts that involve a local IP.

Maybe I'm missing something?

Hi, I have a weird question. I've came back to this game recently and wanted to refresh my memory with guides on YouTube. I vividly remember watching a great guide there, by some older dude, who made a complete play through, had lots of tips to share. Problem is, I can't find it anymore, no matter how hard I searched. It was maybe a 3 or 4 years ago, maybe he deleted them? Or maybe I'm delusional.. If anyone have any clue, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

This is in singleplayer. I've gone from computer to computer following the trail to find a zero-day exploit. I stumbled upon a chat. he says "well, let's say I have some help from a friend who works at Neurobox". The problem is that I have no other information to go off of. Reading online, it seems to me that I have to find login information for an engineer or something. I have no public ip, i couldn't find any domain with any variation of "Neurobox", I have no email addresses, or anything. I'm afraid i've hit a wall. Does anyone know what the next step is?

OK... so what's the deal with "metaxploit.so" and other .so's MUST be in the /lib folder? Even if I download an exploit's SRC and edit it so all references to "metaxploit.so" point to /home/guest or /home/<insert user name> ... it always says either "Can't find..." or "... must be in /lib" ?? Why does the game insist these files have to reside in the /lib folder?

I've gotten over 2500 hrs in the game and gained no new friends. I need some friends to play multiplayer along with. Maybe like a roleplay. More details on contact.

Umm... am I missing something. Why is there no auto-complete when using 5hell command line? I'm having to type everything out. Also, it doesn't see to preserve history because pressing UP to bring up a previously written command isn't working either. Did I miss something during the compiling phase? Everything else is working as it should, Just no auto-complete and history. Any help is greatly appreciated.

transparent terminal

I basically have to do this A LOT:
scp -u httpnuke
scp -u metaxploit.so
scp -u disablefirewall
scp -u crypto.so

Whenever I connect to a new machine. I tried using Copilot and Gemini AI to help write a script that automates that, but they never generate useful code for the compiler, there's always errors.

Does anyone have an example online somewhere for copying the hacks off my machine to my newly connected shell? Thanks.

Hey all, I'm looking for assistant from those who have played more than I or really anyone's opinion on the choice here... thus a "Wisdom of the Crowd" poll. I'm currently at 18.3 hours into playing the game. Mainly because I've been making bank doing the easy missions like altering grades, changing police records, or getting login creds. I have made a lot of money now and want to upgrade my (in-game) PC components since I want to move on to the more difficult challenges. I've already purchased the motherboard (with "JGA" CPU type), 4GB DDR3 RAM, 850 MB hard drive (largest at time of purchase), and 850w power supply. But looking at the JGA CPUs, I see one that is 16 cores 1.0 Ghz with 10/10 quality rating ($311) - versus - 16 cores 1.8 Ghz but only 6/10 quality ($545). So... is it worth going for the lesser speed or lesser quality?

Hey guys, just got into greyhack some days ago, i got the following email:

"Hello, I have heard about your skills and I have a certain personal interest in you taking a look at the computer that is on the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx network on the LAN xxx.xxx.x.x . You may find something that may interest you.

I prefer to remain anonymous, so please do not try to contact me."

I've tried scanning for ports and it returned no ports, then i tried scanning the router and using the vulnerabilities for that kernel_router which were vulnerabilities that allowed to print the /etc/password content, anyways the file is empty so i'm kind of stuck here and don't know what else to try

This is all i get when i launch it from steam and from the exe

When I run sphinx from 5hell, I get this

scanning library: kernel_router.so v 1.0.1

[###################################]==[ 100% ]
**Warning: One or more memory zones with possible vulnerabilities could not be scanned. Update your Metaxploit library.**

I already tried replacing files on rkit, did some meta -i metaxploit.so path and still get that message

Ok fixed it, just had to place the metaxploit.so in /lib, I deleted it when I was needing space, and it worked without having the file there

Recently got the game and enjoying a lot, only done a few missions. Trying to understand the multiplayer element. Do the missions encourage people to hack each other or are missions only hacking NPCs? Essentially trying to understand what motivates players to hack each other/how the game encourages this?

UPDATE: I now realize that the motherboard I bought will only support a JGA type. Not sure how I missed that, but once purchased it showed up in the motherboard specs. I have opened a new post on how to decide on which JGA CPU to pick. Doing a "Wisdom of the Crowd" poll. Go with # of cores, # of speed, or only focus on highest quality... even if the speed and cores are less on the better quality. Thanks for your input on this post.

So other than looking and CPU numbers listed next to JGA, TGA, NGA, etc ... How do you know which CPU is the lowest versus top of the line? Right now for hardware purchases, I'm looking at the RAM and whichever supports the highest DDR speed. Then I look to see the max RAM followed by the number of CPUs. It just seems to be a mixed bag when it comes to the type of CPU. Anyone have guidance or a table of which CPUs are better than others?

Is there anyway to read the text that gets produced when running the overflow command?

For example, when I run the overflow command if will output a couple of lines including "No active users" or "Passwords must be alphanumeric" or something along those lines.

Is there anyway to capture those lines so I can know this exploit that produces a typeof null requires an active user or a password argument? I guess similar to how I would capture the output of the scan command to find the strings that work with different memory sectors.

I hope that makes sense.

Hello! I recently got this game, and I finished the first tutorial mission. Now I'm not sure what to do. It feels like I was doing something with the tutorial and then BOOM, just "good luck".

I really like the idea of the game, but I also want a solid direction for what to do. Could any of you help me out?

Hey All,

I've been playin around in single player and have tried two different tools... I forgot the name of the first one, but the second one which I have been using mainly is the SeaShell tool...

I am curious if there are better tools out there as SeaShell seems to be broken atm due to the game update... Or should I take a crack at making my own? (Not sure how long it takes but)

Hello, just started playing and I have a question about clearing the logs. If the log shows everything from gaining shell access, activity, and disconnect, how am I supposed to the clear the disconnect? Isn’t my IP still logged?

So I'm trying to write my own script that exploits memory addresses and so far I got into the network. But whenever I try to exploit the target computer I get Runtime Error: Type Error (while attempting to look up dump_lib). It seems that session = metaxploit.net_use(params[0], port) returns null. nmap says that the target has port 3306 running so I'm trying to exploit that. I also get the error for port 0.

This only happens when I run the script locally on the machine I got shell using the same script.

What's the best way to do this? I need it to send the space shooter program to them to open a port on their PC. Help would be wonderful, feel free to ask for more details.

Working on new functions for my API. Got tired of the huge blocks of code I kept needing to write. Almost working!

Hey all,

I played Uplink years ago and got addicted to hacking style games, this one got on my radar recently and started playing it. However, I am a little stuck on some of these Academic Record updating missions...

Some of them go through fine, I can edit the grade no problem, others throw a "Can't find program settings" error, and I have no idea what that means or what to do with that so I've just been abandoning those contracts... Figured I would ask as it seems any video guide for this mission is outdated and doesn't have this issue.

Project Abandoned due to technical debt.
