Crack into the InterNIC
To crack into the InterNIC, buy the Dictionary_Hacker
v1.0 and use it on the Admin button.
Mole Mission
Hack the admin account of the Uplink Internal Service System. Once there, download the agent lists (you cannot get #4). You will soon be emailed about selling the list.
Cheaper memory
When buying memory in large amounts, purchase it in
24 Gq bundles. It is cheaper than all the others per module.
False alarms
If you have the motion detector turned on, it will
turn red when technicians are installing parts. Do not nuke your
gateway then.
Get extra links
Go to interNIC. Go to "Browse/Search". The large bookmark menu is all of the links in the game. Press the "Plus" button to the left of the bookmark to get it. You can now use them to bounce around your calls.
Avoid getting caught by the sysadmin
When you get to the main server on a LAN, the sysadmin will start tracing you as soon as you connect. The trace tracker starts going off and the LAN map starts showing the sysadmin's progress in tracing you. However, the two are not the same. On missions where you have to destroy the targets system's files, go into the console and type:
- cd usr [press enter]
- delete [press enter]
Then while it is deleting files type:
- disconnect [press enter]
You can now switch to the LAN view and watch the admin, because
the machine will not run the "disconnect" command until
after it is done deleting. When the files finish deleting, you
will be automatically disconnected, and since your watching the
sysadmin you can hit the "Disconnect" button when he
gets too close or the trace tracker runs low on time.
Saving your software
Note: This is only really useful once you have got
the Gateway Motion Sensor and Gateway Nuke. Get a "Copy and
secure database" mission of any kind (corporate, research,
software, customer, etc.) and your employer will give the address
of the fileserver to upload all of the database files to. After
you complete the mission and get paid, do not delete the fileserver
link. Your password and username will work on that system indefinitely;
after they pay you, go back to the server and upload all your
software. Do not bother with Motion Sensor or Gateway Nuke, since
you have to have hardware installed to use them. If the machine
stops letting you copy files, you can delete the database files,
as long as you have already been paid and keep uploading your
software. Then, if you have to nuke your gateway you can connect
again as soon as you get a new gateway. You do not need a Trace
Tracker, and can get all your software back. You need to have
the Connection Analysis, and LAN View upgrades before you can
use LAN software or bypassers.
