In short, don't use bypassers or whatnot, just go straight for the jugular with the admin password crack. This will of course trigger a trace to start. Disconnect (before the password is cracked possibly) and then do your log modifications. This will put it down as Bank Fraud I believe. I'm not ent...

Either try to connect to the ARC CM after you receive the dead agent's email, or BEFORE that point try to find his computer and copy and decrypt the file that's on it. If 14-16 April has passed without any email from ARC, then you've skipped it sans the three random Arunmor missions.

Please don't ever call me or my posts "hypocrit" unless you have a very good reason Sorry, I wasn't trying to offend you by using that word (it has a softer meaning in Dutch so I use it in English at the wrong moments). Read irrelevant, as edited. none of this has anything to do with back...

You could improve the information about the Motion Sensor in it. In my experience both guides are somewhat misleading. Unless the whole idea is to laugh at newbies like me blowing up their gateways when two or more hardware upgrades are installed :p I think the way it works is yellow for one nearby...

So, I would suggest burrowing down fairly deeply into the LAN (i.e. creating a long path from the router), and connecting to some random system (this will give you more time to evade the admin), and only then forcing the locks. Once you have forced the locks, disconnect from the LAN entirely, then ...

I suspect it's impossible for you to inspect the balances of the accounts at any stage as soon as exactly zero seconds in to the game , so I'd love to hear the leap of logic that spawned that. Cheats (if it hasn't been changed in later versions) would make it possible to accept all TaBT missions im...

Hypothesis: Incorrect observation; they're just not Trace a Balance Transfer missions you took.


Hm. That's a nice one. Aka TaBT missions that occured before you created your profile? Yep, that's a good one.

Re: pardon my necromancy

I did the math, and each of those files contains 3 names (27/9). There are 3 names besides the player's name that are missing, and they're all in a row, alphabetically. It's those names that are in file 4. Yes, but it's fair to assume that IV intended that it would have contained the player's name ...

Introversion hired Strategy First to distribute Uplink in the USA. SF added the subtitle "Hacker Elite". SF ran into financial difficulties, and ceased paying royalties to Introversion, but continues to sell the game in competition with Introversion. In other words, if a person buys the g...

It was technically the same game, there is topic regarding it and what happened, so give that a read to get the basic story on what happened to lead up to now with regards to Introversion and Strategy First. In short SF have not paid IV the royalties IV are due. I think that should be enough. What'...

The word 'moderation' has nothing to do with 'mods' - mod is short for modification ;) so no such other subforum exists. The future is the future is the future, Mas's interpretation is reasonable. *slams head into wall* Man that's stupid. Looking that the said forum was mostly about mods I thought ...

As far as I can tell, all of the accounts used in the game are generated at the beginning of the game. Thus, there are several high dollar accounts created initially, which can later be used in "Trace Balance Transfer" missions. The fact that such a mission has not yet been offered does n...

That makes a lot of sense, but it says that its under the employers instructions that they don't allow me to accept the mission. I also checked my criminal record under my ratings, it said I had none. This implies they're trying to trace me, since each "trace a hacker" mission pops up rig...

Go for "Trace a recent balance transfer" missions Another way completely different from using either this type of mission or a normal bank mission is to get all the accounts yourself. Hack the bank admin (of either bank), make sure you have bypassers running, and note down every accountnu...

How so? Since there are so many bank accounts, the existence of large non-mission accounts and the dearth of them are entirely compatible concepts. Unless I'm misunderstanding you? No, you're right, this is possible, and probably the only explanation. But then I'm questioning the creators why these...
