===== Hacking =====

Hacking in Hacker Corp means gaining game access to another simulated server. There are two main methods: brute-force and exploit attacks.

====== Brute-Force Attack ======

Brute-force attacks use Cracker software against a target password.

The time required depends on:

  * Your CPU.
  * Your Cracker version.
  * The target Password Hashing version.

Successful brute-force attacks can reveal the root password and add the target to your [[Hacked Database]].

Bank account cracking works similarly but targets a bank account password.

====== Exploit Attack ======

Exploit attacks use FTP and SSH exploit software after a port scan.

  * FTP access allows uploads and downloads.
  * SSH access allows many management actions.
  * Both together can provide broad access.

Firewall version can block exploit access.

====== Staying Connected ======

You stay connected only while your software still meets access requirements.

You may lose access if:

  * Your required running software stops.
  * The target upgrades or runs stronger defense.
  * The target IP changes.
  * The server is formatted or reset.

====== Bank Hacking ======

Bank hacking discovers or uses bank account credentials. Bank actions can create logs and should be handled carefully.
