Trouble Hacking Banks [SOLVED]

[metzer]

I'm having trouble with bank hacking (for missions and profit).

I hacked into the Primus International Bank Admin area as a test, and wrote down 3 sets of user credentials. I then erased my tracks. I assume this worked, because I did it many game days ago and have not been arrested. I've actually been working on regular missions for several hours since, with no trouble whatsoever.

Now I'm trying to steal some money. Here's what I'm doing:

Phase One: Stealing the Green

1. Connect to Primus International Bank via about 20 servers, with InterNIC as the first hop.
2. Activate Monitor Bypass and Proxy Disable (both V5).
3. While they run, I log in to one of the accounts I have a password for (1249456/ombudspe). This is not done with Password Breaker.
4. Transfer Money > My bank's IP and my account #, amount = 13276.
5. Once Proxy Disable succeeds, I push Transfer and I get a notice that it is complete.
6. Access user's Statement, use Log Delete (v3) to remove the record of the donation.
7. Disconnect.

Phase Two: Covering My Tracks

1. Connect to Uplink International Bank via the same path as my previous connection, with InterNIC as the first stop.
2. Activate Monitor Bypass and Proxy Disable (both V5).
3. Log in to my legitimate account using my user/pwd.
4. Once the Proxy is disabled, I access my Statement and use Log Delete v3 to remove the record of my receipt of the money.
5. Disconnect from UIB.
6. Connect to InterNIC by way of a random set of 4-5 computers.
7. Access the server log and use Log Delete v3 to erase any record of my connection path - I've actually begun clearing 10-15 log entries in frustration.
8. Disconnect.

As far as I can tell, this should work perfectly.

• There are no transaction records linking me to the transfer.
• At no point is an active trace started.
• Every connection attempt is routed through InterNIC, which I sterilize.

For some reason, a minute or two later I get the black screen of death. What am I doing wrong?

Solution: Log Delete v3 is not good enough for hacking banks. I had to use v4. Since upgrading I have successfully performed the operations listed above 3 times.

You could have just edited your post.

And you could have just not posted. :)

As for the original post: Yeah, you need the top software because banks can be pretty angry when you take all their money!

[threeright]

easiest way is to go for the IP is to go to the first place you have bounced from and delete the logs there (log delete v4). you dont have to delete other logs because when chased after they are all dead ends to that one place which you deleted.

Actually, when stealing money from banks you HAVE to delete the transaction logs as well as break the connection chain, providing you have no intention of getting caught.

Solved, here, via my own experiences:

That's a bit long so here's a summary:

-Always use Log Deleter v4. Anything less and you WILL get caught.

-Delete the victim's statement showing the money transfer to your account. ALWAYS use Monitor Bypass v5, THEN Proxy Bypass v5 so that they don't get suspicious.

-Delete the statement in YOUR bank account showing the money received.

-Delete the Internic logs completely, making sure to remove all bounce logs and admin access logs.

-Do things in this order, because if you try to sterilize Internic before you delete the statement in your account showing money received, then you WILL get caught. This is what messed me up before, that I didn't do it in that order.

Hope this helps, till then.

also i have tryed to bounce from places that don't have logs like public access severs and different phone numbers after the internic to cutt out the passive trace so i can hack a bank and stay logged in the admin for long time and i have found when doing this my rank goes up but you must first bypass the moniter then ya can go from admin and transfer money like this is what i have done to steal money i guess you would call this a walkthough or some kind of some thing but this works

once the game has givin you a mission like trace a recent balance transfer or to see how much this persons loan is or some type of bank hack that ya must complete

first connect to the bank click about and get the admins number call it and get voice analizer then disconnect
next connect to the bank with internic as first hop and like i do use next hops or hop as places like the admins phone ya just called cause it has no logs and i use more then one place to be safe then connect to bank
next BEFORE any thing else must bypass the moniter i8 think i used moniter bypass 5 i think thats the highest moving right along
now ya can continue to hack the bank complete the mission once have done so you can creat a account at the bank still no need to disconnect cause if ya used a high enough moniter bypass you will have no trace and if ya bounced though places that don't make logs then ya will still be safe
after makin a account make ya way to the admin part to do so just hit done in the account after loging in the admin you can see all the accounts in the bank i get my paper and pen for this one cause there is useually more then ya can remember so i write like hum 5 or 7 down not the passwords you can but but at this point in game i have lots of cpu power and memory so i can have any thign i want movin along once ya the first account transfer money to your the ONE YA JUST MADE at the bank delete the logs before ya leave the account and login your account at that bank delete the logs there and repeat process with all accounts if you wish but i have found that the longer you stay logged in that bank and keep hackin all the accounts your rank will grow i am not for sure why but it does
and last but not least BEFORE you leave the bank delete all logs in the admin account and all logs from the transfers i used the lv 4 log deleter and make sure all logs all gone from what ya did and simply disconnect and now ya have clean money ya can connect login you account from the bank and transfer to your uplink bank and not worry bout gettin traced well i didn't and i didn't get cought but i did again delete the logs from that tranfer also just to be safe
and that is it have fun takin money from everyone in every bank

while i done all this i used moniter bypass v5 proxy bypass v5 and log deleter v4 and first bounce was internic and next few bounces was places that makes no logs and maybe 10 to 20 more bounces just to be safe but no need but better safe then sorry

oh and give me feed back if this was help full in any way

cause i use this hacker tacktik every time i play and it would also be of great use to bounce though places that use no logs so no passive trace can be done and make sure they are directly after internic
my bad so long but this may help some and some may already know

is better i think and faster also i think maybe because i use it is why i think so much of it lol

Also notice that everyone who had a problem on this thread managed to solve their own problems

i dont get why anyone cares that they spam. its probably the reason they do it, to get attention from the big time veterans...

You might have a point there.
And plus, we're obsessed with highering our post count so we just reply to anything and everything we can!

You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man.

I know this is kind of a big time difference but I really need help.

I did everything the guide says EXCEPT the Monitor Bypass, i dont have that BUT, i purchased and started using a whole new Gateway (best gateway possible) which I upgraded to maximum possible specs (the account had 903994 credits in it!), but I still get caught for hacking Uplink Corporation Bank

Basically, do i really need the Monitor Bypass even after doing all this or have i done something else wrong
