luckily, if you have backup x-servers, you can just immediately reboot and it's suddenly much easier. lul.

bruh. I swear there is literally not enough time to open the ports to get icarus, let alone to actually remove the files.

No, when I was 16 I thought it'd be a cool mysterious backstory thing

Hey Kwiper, big fan of hellsec and hellsec 2 but before i play core is there a prequel to it? as in the beginning L states he's ordered you back and if core is a sequel game i don't want to continue before playing the first one

despite not explicitly stating it or suggesting to it at all, all my friends are convinced that the character L is a death note reference

is this... aperture science?

oh ok

Because it uses features only available with the labyrinths dlc

why does it need labyrinth dlc

I failed at the first Sequencer mission, and I can't even give it another shot?
I don't think the time is enough to open all the 8 ports, at least not in the 1st try.

Thank you though, for encouraging me to check the source files for the first time to look for fstopICaRUS 22.15.293.240

Also I've found a cheat server, check it if you need. 666.666.666.666

Next I'll play hellSec

I have now completed Murder Room, hellSec, hellSec 2, and Core. Here's my overall review:
-Each time, the ending has felt urgent. You built the tension well and the time you put into testing the timers really shows.
-The stories you've crafted for your extensions are phenomenal. I was thoroughly invested each and every time. Even when something was buggy, I was happy to push through it because I wanted to know what was going to happen. Your brand of humor brings life to your NPCs, even if they are only text.
-Having played four of your extensions, I was excited to see the evolution of your development and your growth as a creator.
Thank you for the hours of fun.

so uhh, i'm stuck at the first mission, i uploaded the data file to the core drop server but i can't do anything? clicking live projects brings up no projects available, please help

awesome extension, endfight took some retries but I managed to find a queue for which comes first

Man, ICaRUS took me 4 tries to beat the first time. That timing is TIGHT

i couldn't complete it.

thanks again for the extension, it was great to play, nice story, and the endfight was rough but fun aswell :-) thnaks again for that great work

You pretty much have to know that the SQL, Torrent, and RTSP crackers all bypass the proxy, the SSL one bypasses it as well, but by the time you've finished one or two of those 3 the proxy should be bypassed anyway. The only way i was able to beat it was by having the whole thing for the SQL one already typed up when i connected. but i was also able to clear my logs as well. thankfully it seems to use all default ports, so you can use that to your advantage.

But, overall, a fantastic extension!

I enjoyed it but I have to say, the ending is WAY too hard, for me at least. I couldn't do it because there's just no time.

Fun extension, loved both endings. Thanks for making it!

1) potential proxies.
2) You can't avoid it. It's scripted.
3) Deleting logs won't work. It's scripted.

Watch a playthrough of the extension (spiderbenb's is the only one I think) and find the ISP section to see how they managed to get through it. The main thing really is just to type faster. There's the tab button which will auto complete commands to help with that. If hundreds of people can do it, you can too.

@anna.bl It's a scripted section specifically designed for you to *not* avoid. Just remember to have two or three shells up and remember you can run certain programs while a proxy/firewall is up.

krollbotid it funny how hacknet works am i right and not going to lie i did that trick with all of kwipers stuff (sorry kwiper)

Yeah, it's meant to represent the bad end, but obviously there is a way to recover your process.

And... i repeated with ICaRUS Core 3 . Sequencer attacks in this extensions are really strange.

Well, it's really strange. I fail hacking ICaRUS Core 1 (there was only 1433 port to hack left) and had reset my VM with deleting my x-server. After that in terminal I see titles of extension in terminal. After that I backed up my x-server (thanks Theme Changer), reloaded and as I see my VM isn't destroyed and ICaRUS Core 1 has only 1433 port left to hack, i hacked it and deleted all ICaRUS files on that node and storyline continued. Was there any bug or it works properly?

Is it normal to see titles in terminal after failed sequencer attack?

I honestly loved this, though my game did kinda 'break' after... endgame stuff....

Still excellent extension, feels like it does belong in the game, though after the end... its feels like we are not yet done.

Created new external download link in the description. I have done the same for all my other extensions for those who don't have Steam.

thx @Canon

FStopdevicescan phones always have the Password FStop @cold

I'm stuck on the part where im trying to get into the CEO's phone after getting fstopdevicescan but the password alpine doesn't work. I even checked the CEO's laptop from the last F-stop mission and I couldn't find anything on any of the other F-stop servers in the mission
other than the mail server which has a whitelist on it.

RIP my save broke after Icarus Attacked

What a cool fanmade extension well done Kwiper

ok thx btw didnt watch credit soo i might just ask here kek

The one at the end? It's a remix of The Ultimate Show from Super Paper Mario

i wanna know wat is the battle song tho its soo good.Just say on my profile thank u

Awesome extension, just finished it. I never spected THAT end lol. Nice work!

That´s such a great workshop, thank you Kwiper for the great work. The new hacking tool animation was pretty nice and the story was cool. No wonder you were mentioned in the news of Hacknet for one of the best workshops of this game. ;) keep up the good work :)

A really great extension! I really enjoy playing it. I played until the point where I need to get my port crushers, after ICaRUS attacked , but i was dumb enough to actually delete them instead of downloading them, because I spaced out,. Ah well, I guess, thats what you get for not being concetrated. I just have to find the motivation to start all over again :D But I am sure i will be playing it again soon :D Thank you!

thanks!

Pretty sure I changed it to uncle. In mythology, that's Daedalus

so who the fuck is father of ICaRUS?

Glad you enjoyed it! The credits thing is a thing that most people don't like (read: everyone doesn't like), and I've stopped doing it (and it only took me two extensions to learn my lesson.)

Maybe you will see them in another extension... hmmmmm

This has to be the best Hacknet Extention i Have ever played and i plan on playing the rest of you addons Kwiper. Thank you for giving me SO much fun for the 10hrs it took me to complete. just one complaint, dont put the credits in when you get hacked that was a bit annoying but on teh hole GOOD JOB!!! i hope to see L, Hel and Cardinal again in another Extention =D

Also, I didn't lose any cracker when AI attacked me . How? I just rename them all with mv. mv SSHCrack.exe ssh, mv FTPBounce.exe ftp, etc. Not only this greatly improves hacking speeds, but it also protects me from addon authors trying to slow me down :D

Otherwise, I'm grateful. This was a pleasant gameplay session with a believable story. At first I was reluctant about actually shutting the AI down, but the "malware injection" part convinced me.

And only because you provided TraceKill at the start , I will let those goshdarn 10 gazillion symbols long firewall passwords with 0-s in them slide by. Otherwise you would have had to burn in the hell you created yourself :D

Just finished playing this through. Googled the guide for #18 in the Infiltration part (forgot that you need to open EVERY file you find in this game lol) . Additional credits after failed Core hacks were unnecessary - just made a crap load of backups of x-server with ThemeChanger and was able to recover that way.

@Kwiper, you should've put the last cracker not only into one of the Gauntlets, but also somewhere else. It took me a second re-read of the guide and two hopeless attempts on Core 1 to figure this out.

This extension had it's own unique storyline, though I feel as if the missions between the core events didn't really feel fun to play & complete. At the same time, since the final part was quite difficult for me, I must say that not having the ability to replay (without playing around with nodes and system files in terminal mode) felt really annoying.

I did have a lot of fun though, and I thank you for making this. :)

It's not meant to be easy.

bro for the trace aversion sequence why does the server you have to go to have a trace it self it make it harder to get in the the sever but right now am asking how the hell do i get past this part eazyer

Quick review for anyone looking to play:
The ending is quite the heart-pumping adventure. Rest is a bit slow, but that's expected of something developed as quickly as it was. I feel like this could be quite impressive, given a dedicated dev cycle. There are some unique plot points that can get you invested, and it's more Hacknet, so what's not to love? It also uses a couple tools you might not have gotten to use before, which is neat.
Character development really helped sell the original product, and it's a bit lacking here. There's also the needlessly long firewalls - without TraceKill, it'd be one thing, but since you have that from the start it's somewhat redundant. You can just sit there with it active forever without consequence.
All that aside, it's a fun little journey with some interesting forensics - nothing on the level of Labyrinth's, but it'll still give your noggin a good twist if you aren't prepared. Also, make sure you know terminal usage, because you WILL need it.
