I think another Hacker keeps getting me

Postby Theneler » Fri Oct 06, 2006 5:19 am

I hacked in to the Bionet Mainframe, routing through their Main System.
Shortly after, theres a " Track this hacker " mission that Uplink wont let me access, so i assume its me.
I cleared my logs out of both systems, and internic, but I keep getting disawowed. I have my save game ( don't have patience to keep restarting ) but can't figure it out.
Normally I get sacked april 12, midnight. I went back to the Mainframe, and cleared out more logs and that delayed it 4-5 hours. But I cleared Internic, the Mainframe, and their main system, and I still get caught everytime.
Any suggestions?

a) When you get disavowed, you get the info about which company got you. Perhaps you are cleaning up the wrong company.
b) are you sure you are using a log-deleter which is good? Which level does your log-deleter have?

I using V4 the " Impossible to Trace " one.

My profile says I got caught for hacking the BioNet Internal services machine. So I restored, went there, and the logs are empty. Now I routed THROUGH that machine into the mainframe, so I thought, maybe its the mainframe that i left a trace on, but because of the nature of mainframes, it was saying it was the Internal Server. So i went to the mainframe, and i did leave 2 logs there, so I deleted them, then went back to internice and deleted those as well. This delays me getting caught by 4 hours.

Yeah I definetly can't figure this one out. Just tried again. I get caught for hacking the Biogenic Internal Service machine.

So I went to the mainframe, routed through the Service machine, and deleted all logs. Then i went to the Internal Service machine, deleted all logs, and even destroyed that system using a sys-delete/shutdown. All of this routed through Internic. I then went and deleted ALL logs of internic, except the first login I ever did ( so it showed connect-disconnect ), and i STILL get caught.

Perhaps the order to capture your gateway is already sent to the FBI.

Perhaps you deleted the log entry for your connection to internic?

have you installed security on your gateway? You can detect the Feds poking around then blow up your gateway in the nick of time, you know!

Is it not possible that some hacker was hired to frame you? I would chack the mission board from your oldest save to see if there were any "Trace this hacker" missions that you can't accept.

I think your best bet is to just nuke your gateway.. Put any important files in a File Server and nuke it :P

I think that what's going on is you're deleting the wrong set of logs on InterNIC:

I then went and deleted ALL logs of internic, except the first login I ever did ( so it showed connect-disconnect ), and i STILL get caught.


You wanna delete all your connections prior to the hack and leave one short connect-disconnect, not make it look like you've stayed connected to Internic for 3 straight weeks.

Just after your first hack, you will see this in the Internic Logs:

21:05 password accepted from 127.0.0.1
21:04 connected from 127.0.0.1
21:03 routed 127.0.0.1 to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
21:02 disconnected from 127.0.0.1
21:01 password accepted from 127.0.0.1
21:00 connected from 127.0.0.1

Remember that at 21:06 you'll leave a disconnect, so what you'll wanna do is delete it to look like this:

21:04 connected from 127.0.0.1

Now after your second hack, it'll look like this:

21:09 Password Accepted from 127.0.0.1
21:08 connected from 127.0.0.1
21:07 routed 127.0.0.1 to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
21:06 disconnected from 127.0.0.1
21:04 connected from 127.0.0.1

Delete everything but the connect at 21:08 and then disconnect. This way it looks like you never even connected to the machine until after the second hack. To a third party hacker all they would see is:

21:10 disconnected from 127.0.0.1
21:08 connected from 127.0.0.1

Vets, please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but if it looks like you've stayed connected to Internic since March 24 won't that throw a red flag?

It doesn't look for suspious logs such as being connected for long periods or missing connect/disconnect logs. It only looks for logs created during the timeframe of the hack.
