Pro tip: You can also read other computer's content without even discovering it first! Useful for finishing missions as fast as possible.
Unlock everything on map?
So according to this guide: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=783339047

You can unlock the whole map by replacing known="False" to known="True". It didn't quite work well on my end - some hidden servers aren't revealed unless I manually connect to them (like 1337.1337.1337.1337).
Hack into computers in game without hacking and/or perils
Whenever you need to hack any computer, just search in your profile: computer name="[computer name]"

Or if you're lazy you can even type this and scroll through the results: "[beginning of the computer name

And you will find username and password in the next 4 lines. For example, search <computer name="Naix Root Gateway> and I'll get:

<user name="admin" pass="roxxane" type="0" known="True" />

Now go on and:

> login
admin
roxxane

Done!
Accidentally deleted files and don't want to start over again
1. Find your mission in game folder. It's located in [game install path]\Content\Missions.
Suppose I was enjoying deleting stuff when doing mission "Bit's disappearance Investigation" that I had accidentally wiped out Bit's server. Now I'll find in this folder MainHub\BitSet\Missions\BitHubSet01.xml which corresponds to my current mission. I can see this mission's goal: <goal type="FileUpload" target="bitDropBox" file="READ_all_hackers.txt" path="Drop/Uploads" destTarget="hubPubDrop" destPath="Drop/Uploads" />
2. Look around and find your file!
In the previous example I would find this file in MainHub\BitSet\BitDropServer.xml:117:
<file path="Drop/Uploads" name="READ_all_hackers.txt">
This would've been the last time I checked this server, but apparently someone's been messing with it.
Bad timing for me but, oh well. I've been working with EnTech, on some pretty heavy projects, and things arent looking so great.
As in, I dont think they want me around anymore, or saying this sort of thing not-great.

I dont know. Maybe i'm just freaking out about it. I'm going to dig around a bit, see if there's any danger here. Sure feels like there is.

3. Shut down game. (remember to save)
4. Copy this file to your save data.
5. Restart game and proceed the mission.

@NicePotato No that's how a fake 1337 hacker does it. A true 1337 hacker do it outside of the box. :-)
Lightningblizerd 4 Jun, 2018 @ 7:30am 
it just gives you all the programs lol did it with a fresh save for labs
NicePotato 4 Jun, 2018 @ 3:31am 
To be a true 1337 hacker you should connect 1337.1337.1337.1337
(try it)

In Labyrinths I delted too many servers and deleted the dumps too... so I hacked the server the mission was hosted on and put it in the right spot :sans: After that I could move forward without problems XD Not rl hack but I guess it counts too?

@lar583 I don't think you can delete a folder ingame... But anyways you can always create a new folder by creating a folder element in your savefile.
lar583 19 Feb, 2017 @ 6:03am 
does this work for any deleted folder ingame? i dont want to restart the game
Lightningblizerd 29 Jan, 2017 @ 11:35pm 
Yes but that works in game.
MygodStudio  [author] 29 Jan, 2017 @ 9:45pm 
@Lighningblizerd Hi that also works but why not just copy & paste instead? It's much faster.
Lightningblizerd 29 Jan, 2017 @ 9:51am 
Put this in your guide if you want but feture me for this method please :D
Lightningblizerd 29 Jan, 2017 @ 9:50am 
OR you can just download extra copies of sshcrack.exe (any .exe will work) , copy the binary of the chosen program you already have found in this guide, and just do replace (name of program) ("binary") ("binary of program to change to") Then you just do mv (name) to (name of the exe or whatever name you want to set it to) There you go.
