How do I shutdown companies systems via their consoles

[jacobfields]

please help me....i have no idea how to do it.

what do i type into the console? i want to destory all their files and shutdown their system aswell

ok, first make sure you have any security taken care of by disabling/bypassing the proxy and the firewall

then from the console type the following (don't type in the stuff in the brackets) :

cd usr

delete (wait till thats finished)

cd sys

delete (wait till thats finished)

cd log

delete (wait till that's finished)

shutdown

this will try and reboot the system, and since you deleted all the system files it will crash

make sure you go back to your first bounce point and delete the logs that you left there, or modify them so someone else gets blamed.
then fast forward time until you see that the system was destroyed in the news, and reply to the mission email

By the way, you dont have to wait for the command to finish before going on to the next one. Simply input all your commands one by one and the console will remember what you typed and do each command in order, that way you dont waste time typing in commands! This way, you will be entering commands while its doing something, so no time wasted

I actually have a problem related to this.

I got everything, but when it's deleting "os.sys" it takes FOREVER. I can understand why, but I still don't know what to do. When I start the sys deletion process I have about 100 seconds to do it, and I stick around until about 10 seconds and then disconnect. How long does it take to delete? Also I must have about twenty or thirty points in my connection chain but I just CAN'T get it any higher than about 100 seconds at the start of deletion, what can I do?

Attack it with a virus instead.

[ajm51987]

Heuh...where do I get a virus?

[D3adKl0wn]

if you follow the storyline you'll ge tthe revelation virus

[Lord_Doskias]

if you were far enough, you could try revelation...

[ajm51987]

okay, so, umm, I'm not far enough and I need to complete this mission, do you guys have anything a bit more pragmatic for me?

[Lord_Doskias]

you could delete all the normal files in the usr dir, then delete the log files
then delete as much of the sys folder as you can
then reconnect, delete the new logs (takes a second or two)
and then finish deleting the sys files, then reboot
have you tried that?
it takes a bit longer, but you have more time if you do it right

[ajm51987]

yes actually i tried that. The weird thing is, when i reconnect after having "deleted" the kernal and boot file, it deletes them again! In any event, the point is, I'm soo stuck.

[Lord_Doskias]

odd that you cant get your tracer time over 100, more connections doesnt necessarily help
what you should do is find all of the banks, and make accounts with them; if you have an account on a system it takes longer to trace you through, that should help. right off the bat, you can get all the banks. if you just get like 5 of them, it takes like 90 sec, so that should help

now that i think about it, it does take a while to delete the os.sys, and yeah, the kernel and boot files come back after you disconnect heh

there is nothing more satisfying then taking down a company repeated times ( uplink internal system )

it doesn't show the 'files deleted' message after deleting the sys files, but you can see when it's done deleting them -> wait until a blanc line appears just under the 'deleting OS.sys' line, then you can proceed to the logs...

had me puzzled the first time too...
