People (#1 comment? really?) have noted concern about this actually hacking people. Its not. the ip's are all 2-digit base-10 numbers, true ips have 4 numbers ranging from 000-255, this would also be 2-digit base-16 number. If they were smart enough to make a game like this actually get through firewalls/antivirus software while using dummy ips ... well, frankly, the guy wouldn't be doing this, he would have the far less fluctuating aid of an AI program designed to do this for him.
The usage is 'probe {IP} {Guess}'. For the guess, you are told if the actual port is higher or lower so you can adjust the value and guess again. Hope this helps!

Really enjoyed playing the game, not sure if you have plans to expand upon the story mode , the game definitely has potential for expansion.

Eventually the help menu gets so long I can''t see all the commands on in the game screen. Scrolling the text would be nice for this as well as to look back up at things. That or being able to make the text smaller as it's fairly big

> mine [ip] [mac0]
where you already did input an IP previously . then i would do
> mine [ip] [mac1]
> mine [ip] [mac2]
if there was more devices to mine ..

I have no clue what I am doing and am inputing random values. I have no idea what all these numbers and letters are. Add something defining what all the numbers are please. Not everyone is tech savy. Might be a good opportunity to teach some terminology and get their lips wet so to speak.

Confusing and convoluted. Bitburner is 100x better than this game, and fits the genre way better. This game doesn't even have case sensitive commands...yawn. Artificially slow commands for inject, that lock you out of even typing...yeah, that makes a looot of sense...no UI, no actual code, ugh...

for the confused people - its used (or at least i use it like that) -MAC0- or -MAC1- etc, the # isnt a hashtag, its a number btw.
fun game, i like it

Anybody done a screenshot on the coordinates after using the locate command? I was too slow, but I'm curoius where it points at :)
You can use the 'probe' command to find the port. The usage is 'probe {IP} {Guess}'. For the guess, you are told if the actual port is higher or lower so you can adjust the value and guess again. Hope this helps!

Ugh I thought you could watch the hack ending if you got the pay ending so I wasted a bunch of time getting the pay ending first.

I could see myself losing a whole weekend to this game..in a good way. I enjoyed the active interface, even if it did become a little stale after a while. IMO, lose the voice and resort to text-based conversation. I'd also work on the story, like maybe he works with local police using his hacking skills to find his daughter, or needs to mine devices to break into some large business, or has to extract data from a foreign or local government (using the money from mining to purchase hardwaare/software upgrades). I see a lot of potential for this game. I hope the developer can make it happen. Good job person!

Desperately needs more content and maybe some adjustment for some stuff. For example, no idea how or why to even use IP Shortcuts when you can just type it in the first time and then bring a command that previous used it via the up/down cursor keys. Would have preferred to have access to the SSID index (command being [ssid#] or something?) just like I would have access to the MAC index.
Maybe replace the IP Shortcuts by being able to call up previous commands, instead of that being available from the start? I mean, once I learned to do that my time to do stuff definitely decreased a bit.
Beyond all that though, needs some ambiance beyond the typing. Like the humming of the cooling fan, the clicking you can hear from older computers as they boot up or run stuff. Man, I have so many suggestions and not a whole lot of space to fit them in since there are word limits on comments.
