Walkthrough.
Let's start!
trust.sentience , then just follow orders till step thr33, msg part.
It asks for the second part of the key, see? You have only the first half.
Well, one user can get one half. Get it? *1
Okay, I'm assuming you got both parts. Good. *2
You are now sentient. Angie, what a nice girl! Msg her something in return.
Huh, your first custom script. Run it, it's safe atm.
Find Bo Yi's username, I think it's kinda easy. *3
You can mess with angie's script, feed fishes and stuff. Ain't that a cute little girl?
But, back to business. Tell her bo's username.
Join the channel. Look at all em, listen to em, they are nice guys, dont you think so?
Okay, now we need to get into halperyon.helpdesk . Hm, it asks for password? Hm. Let's try random one? Like, password:"abc"
Oh, look, a hint! Fortunately, there's mutiple answers coded, so try anything blue. *4
Hm, options. Let's check both of em, can we?
Hm, getting started gave you third option. helpdesk_roster . And notices gave you a hint on the password.
Well, let's try to log into helpdesk_roster, shall we?
You need roster_pass. Hm. Try some famous dogs. *5
Wow, scripts! That's what you have needed. Great. Past one of em into chat.
Well, time to hax. Just run script, get type of lock it requires and write {lock_type:"unlock/open/release"}
Some locks like ez_35 require additional parameters like "digit". So it'll be {ez_35:"unlock/open/release", digit:0-9}
Notice that strings require " " to work, but digits and any numbers do not.
Well, hack all of them, it's not that hard. One of them requires kernel.hardline- it's kind of "hacking mode", in full game it's always required for hacks.
Hm, they are speaking about some kind of code. Look closer at success messages after each hack. See em? All three? *6
Hmmm, they suggest you to enter all of it into helpdesk. Nice. Do it.
Ugh, spooky. Trust no one, tho you can trust that particular guy. Write in chat that you found nothing.
Ugh, text, text, text. Join faythe's channel for more text.
Time for petra. Relatively hard part. Try to do it yourself, please?
Well, check petra.che_trust, then petra.che_trust{}. Ok, che gave you a location.
Well, check all activities now, maybe you'll notice something by yourself. I hope.
Read everything, letters, notes. Maybe you'll notice some WORDS. I hope.
Noticed it? Well, copy it to scratch, we'll use it bit later. *7
Notary needs an item, we don't know it yet. Some later.
Disposal doesnt let you retrieve anything. And I don't think any of letters worth disposing of?
Hm, notices say that retrieve can be forced. Let's try? *8
Now it needs checksum. Think, what can possibly be a checksum? Right, the one thing you copied earlier.
Hm, something about notatizing a corgi.. Hmm.. Do it maybe? Notarize corgi. You got a piece! *9
Time to celebrate!.. Or no? New script to hax! Run it.
Oh no... That's a good lesson for after-vLAN: always check_level of unknown non-fullsec scripts. Don't run unknown scripts.
Well, tell them you're done. More hacking incoming! And you get useful information about how scripts work. Read it all please.
Tell them when you are done looking at scripts.trust and stuff.
Well, back to business. Run that scam script again. Hm, now it says stuff... NOtice difFerent Letters. Blue is key, pink is value. *10
Well, some message. Eh, nothing useful. And che got hacked. Btw che got a corp, join it.
Heh, another lesson: if you hack someone, he can find you in logs- and hack back. Be careful.
Okay, laundery list script. Let's see what it does...
Ok, it's a list. Check their level it you want. Run any of them, notice how you should call it properly and arguments.
Hm, you can just take money? Awesome! Don't be too greedy, though. For me 3MGC per use is okay, it may be less or more.
If you take too much, script becomes inactive. Run laundry list again, get new batch.
Well, somewhat like 15MGC in total would be okay.
Now, sys.init. Maybe twice if you want. That'll be enough. You can't buy on market without initing at least once.
Shopping time! Let's market.browse .
Well, buy anything you want, tho in chat they told what you'd need. If you buy something, they'll explain what it is in chat.
Well, inited twice, expose balance and xfer_gc_from bought, everything is good. Hack time!
Run yrollam.extern_f1elo3 . Hardline required. Enter the hardline. Run again.
You know how to hack locks. GJ, you have breached him.
Expose_balance out of him. Wow, that's a lot of money! sys.xfer_gc_from him.
Okay, choose your side. Choose wisely, you won't be able to join opposing chat with the same account. (hah)
Well, epic speech. Cool. Time for the final challenge!
I won't be able to help you after you start. It's randomized.

Some hints: you can restore breach time by re-running firewall. All riddles are googleable and easy. Logs are going from bottom to top, so keep it in mind.


Well, see ya on the other side of The Great Hack!
Well, looks like we need second part. But this user can't join second side's chat. Notice? This user. *11
Well, you can re-run everything again. Or just scroll back in logs and find second side's chat and password. Join it, get 100MGC and init.
Good. Time for The Great Hack number two. Pretty much the same thing, but from the other side.
Okay, you got second pass. Nice. You know what to do next, I am not needed here. *12
Migrate to the MUD. Bye, angela. Bye, mallory. MUD have it's own villains and heroes.

*4 sky, sea, ocean...
*5 "pluto" worked for me, I don't know many of em
*6 c0o:"grave", wzj:2, a3z:"cradle"
*7 2410
*8 force:true
*9 a844z:39182
*10 raise:"hell"

Thank god i got this sh!tty game off my account and got a refund, like how bad can a developer be when he writes an in-game guide for new players! Jesus, GUI looks really good and i loved the feeling the game gives but gosh i cant help but uninstalling it for that very part of it.

guess the password! Nope, hint: "blue" uhmm.."Blue"? WRONG, it's SKY.
dude GTFO of my game list for god's sake, god bless Hacknet.:steamfacepalm:

just in general. don't worry though, I figured it out; I just didnt realize that I had to pretty much explore every option available, and to look at the text and everything in order to find the proper hints for the problem at hand.

Which passwords?
Crisp 30 Jun, 2018 @ 8:19pm 
I'm having a real hard time finding out how to solve the passwords. Where do I find the codes? am I missing something, or is this guesswork?
Anihillator  [author] 13 Jan, 2018 @ 9:44pm 
That'd be not a guide, that's boring.

sys.migrate {confirm:true} - finishes entire vLAN whoop whoop
PoolSponge 2 Jan, 2018 @ 9:39pm 
it is for the petra office mission and you need to go into the notary activity and input the word corgi
Architector #4 2 Jan, 2018 @ 4:01pm 
What is "corgi" and what is "notarize"? Should I go learn english or what do I do to "notarize" "corgi"? ._.
