The hacking mechanics described here have been completely replaced by Novos. The Hacking page provides an overview of the current mechanics. |
Note
As of July 21st, 2016 all of these searches are obsolete. Attempting to use them results in:
The search doesn't come back with any results. It seems those systems have been shut down.
Searches allow you to find new sites on the Net. They typically cost one energy and link to one new site. Repeats of sites are possible, although rare with just a few known sites.
Each search links to a specific type of site:
| Method | Result |
|---|---|
| Access Node | Gather other user's sites within your network. |
| Intrusive Search | A search for higher security sites. |
| Maddening Search | Let a strange viral mass search. |
| Signal Finder | Locks on to the strongest signal. |
| Target Search | A simple search for low security sites. |
| Viral Interpreter | A search for infected sites. |
| Viral Search | A virus-driven search. |
There are additional ways to find sites:
- Follow the datastream of a network/infected site
- Applying Relay Code to a site (consumed on use)
- Using Search Integrator (consumed on use)
- Using Unstable Integrator (consumed on use)
- Browsing Secure/Hidden Files on a Advertising Agency, Antiques Shop or Formatted Site (possibly giving partial access)
No longer available:
- Using infection attempts
- Having wild virus active at rollover.
There are also hacking encounters found by directly visiting computer systems.
