Stuck at the Pacemaker? It says to connect to 111.105.22.1, but it doesn't work? How do I get the admin password for the second login?

As the mails you just read said, those pacemakers stopped working for no apparent reason. Maybe you can find some traces of a hacker inside this pacemaker? The clue you are looking for is not located on the pacemaker screen, but in it's files

I have found the both the Doe's Battlestation and the Proxy he's using with the SQL crack in it. However after that point I lost my lead. The only computer I haven't cracked is the CSEC server and I couldn't find the RTSP crack. What do I do now?

Nvm I have just found my lead. It is in one of the HEARTBEAT users' dedicated servers.

Hi there!
It's i from the extension discord server. Well I have broken through to the pacemaker and connected to the IP in the logs. Then from there i went onto the forum 4chin, and afterwards I ended up lost. I can't seem to find the fifth tool RTS, to break into forum 4chin which i assume is the next step, unless I'm completly wrong?

The 4chat server is your "hub" server per say. It's a message board with multiple threads leading you to the rest of the game. It should be the top button on the node, you don't need admin access for any of this

Hey again! So I'm currently with entech it resulted into nothingness? I was in the E-mail got into RC got into his Phone but found nothing of note? It also doesn't seem like i don't have the right tools. Some help where to go next would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like RC left a note on his ePhone about some app used as payment for his dirty deeds. Maybe this could be some clue to find a trace of the culprit?
Also keep in mind the password to get into any ePhone device!

Greetings, just hit the brick wall..

I got the speech about finding out the killer and my own identity, as well as the "plan" to take out the contract network that the killer is involved in.. and that's where it stops. No clue or lead about where to even look for the network

There should be a total of three clues inside the game. Each clue is accompagnated by a single piece of port Cracker. Once you've got them all, you should be able to hack into a computer you didn't have access to before. If you found out about the contract network, you should know which organisation you should help with the information you gathered!

Hate to say it, but I still have no idea how to approach this situation..
I am aware of the 3 locations of each portcracker (should they be the only ones in question), however I cannot seem to figure out any clue out of them.
Besides that do I not know about a computer that I never had access to before, besides IPs that are legitimately impossible to crack (like more ports needed to crack than actually given)

I'm afraid I missed, forgot or skipped something or I'm just too stupid putting some sense into this predicament...

You may want to investigate the mainframe of the NBI, this is where you need to go next

Right... the CSEC Contracts are what went out of my head entirely, so I didn't even have the website..

Thanks a lot for your help, wonderful extension!

Hey there! So. I'm with where the killer is exposed and all. But.. I can't seem to make my way into CSEC drop. I'm missing RTSP. And i am not sure if i just missed it, or am i supposed to go somewhere else. Thanks so much again for always replying it helps so much!
