Hello everyone!

As you may have noticed, the code for the public version has been closed for a while, which means that no more updates will be published for the public branch of the game (except for serious bugs that may appear) since I have completely focused on the development of the Nightly Build.

This nightly build is special as it will be the last one before entering the beta version of the game and therefore carries significantly more content than other nightly builds from the past. I preferred not to split this nightly build into two or more parts, since that would entail extra time for fixing regression bugs after each merge, which always tends to take several months, so this time it is preferable to introduce all the planned features in the same nightly to fix all those regressions at once and thus save some time.

As this nightly is going to take me more time to develop than what is usually normal, this time I am going to publish updates (Developer Previews) about the state of the development regularly to keep you informed about which feature I am working on at those moments.

This time, being the first update, I still do not want to go into many details since I am working on several features at once and there are certain parts of the design that I want to finish defining first, but I can tell you broadly what the new attack vector will entail.

The new attack vector, which will complement the current buffer overflow, is being designed with multiplayer mode in mind, specifically for PvP mode. It involves 0-day-exploit attacks combined with code injection, which along with buffer overflow will allow for a more dynamic and balanced PvP between attack and defense, especially among more veteran players.

The 0-day-exploit attack will consist of several phases, requiring in the first of them that players collaborate with each other in order to advance. Upon reaching a certain level, players will be able to obtain limited pieces of information (rumors) which, upon completion, will lead them to a specific network to continue with the discovery of the exploit. This will encourage collaboration among guild members to obtain this privileged information before another group, whether their intention is to attack or protect a specific network or server.

Once this information is obtained, players will still need to do research work to discover and deal with the engineers who have worked on the library that may contain the undiscovered exploit, thus being able to move on to the next step of the attack which will then be more technical for the player.

In the next phases, the player will need to create specific code, which will vary depending on the vulnerability of the 0-day-exploit to continue the attack. Therefore, as an exception in the game, this time players without programming knowledge trying to discover the vulnerability will be at a disadvantage compared to players who know how to program. Hence, exploits of this type of vulnerability will not be generated in stores, unlike the current buffer overflow. Although players without programming knowledge can always use them once they are discovered and published by other players.

What I have described would be the first phases of the attack explained in a general way, the attack does not end there. There are also parts that I am currently exploring such as the introduction of an API that can only be accessed temporarily depending on various factors, or the introduction of additional, smaller attack vectors to help with the balancing of this new system.

In the upcoming dev previews, we will be exploring other parts of the nightly that are also being designed, as well as more details about this new vector attack.

More news soon!

Hello everyone! I would like to share with you the latest news.

The development of the nightly build is already underway, so over the next few days I will publish the last batch of bug fixes for the public version before fully focusing on the nightly build.

As many of you already know, the nightly build is the development branch where new game features are added before moving them to the main branch. Initially it will be available only for debuggers, and later once it reaches a playable state, it will open up to all players to help with testing before publishing on the main branch.

Unlike the previous nightly build, which focused on backend rework to improve stability in multiplayer mode, the next nightly build will again be focused exclusively on adding new gameplay features.

As you can see in the Roadmap, we only need to complete version 0.8 to enter the beta phase. The initial plan is to complete version 0.8 in this nightly. This means that development during this phase will be longer than usual due to the complexity of the features to be added.

Even so, if I see that the nightly build cycle is going to be longer than expected, I do not rule out moving some less complex features to version 0.9, such as "More Hidden and Karma missions" and "Player shops and services", to focus on finishing adding all the remaining core gameplay.

Although I cannot give many more details yet, I can confirm that one of the features in development are the new hacking methods to complement the well-known buffer overflow, in addition to several adjustments and changes also in this method, finally completing all the attack vectors that the game will offer in its final version.

Although there is still work to be done, these are undoubtedly exciting times as we are close to reaching the beta phase and being able to offer a gaming experience much closer to what it will be in its final version. More news soon!

Good news! We have more hackers than ever thanks to our friend Thor on Twitch. To enhance the experience in Multiplayer mode, we've upgraded to a much more powerful server. This will better handle the system load, especially during peak hours, and provide a smoother overall experience.

In addition, the following fixes have been made in Streaming mode:

- AdminMonitor now hides IP addresses when starting a trace.

- General information and error messages now hide addresses, for example when entering incorrect data when trying to log in to an email account.

- The warning window shown after being caught in a trace hides the addresses.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Improvements in Streaming Mode to make it easier to identify the different hidden addresses being worked on.

- ConfigLan now hides the IP address in the Invoice window if the Streaming Mode is enabled.

- Fixed bug in the Social Engineering option "CCTV Access Required" that always responded with the message "I don't work here" even though the email information was correct.

- Fixed bug in the Funny Game social engineering option that caused the NPC to not recognize email addresses of other NPCs in the same network.

- The NPC will not react if the Funny Game social engineering option is attempted to be used from its own email account.

- Fixed bug that caused the game to freeze when launching a script with a call to clear_screen and print within an infinite loop without any wait calls.

Added Streaming Mode! To enable it, go to Menu > Preferences > Streaming Mode.

This mode hides IP addresses, URLs, bank and email addresses in the Terminal and other programs.

Activate this mode if you want to stream in multiplayer mode to prevent viewers from seeing sensitive information that could lead to unfair hacks.

To work with hidden information, you can copy and paste it like any regular text. The terminal and other programs will interpret these hidden addresses normally.

Notepad, CodeEditor and CCTVs are not included in the Streaming Mode at the moment, and any information will be displayed without hiding. The feature is experimental and it will be improved in future updates.

The public build has been updated with the latest available version of the game!

As usual, since the nightly build has merged to the public version, the nightly build has been disabled until the next cycle.

[h3]Backend rework[/h3]

A massive re-implementation of several key game systems has been carried out, such as world generation, script management, interaction with files and devices in general, database management, etc.

This brings several notable improvements, particularly in the Multiplayer mode, where in addition to a significant improvement in script execution speed, the server is now capable of monitoring scripts to prevent excessive resource usage that could cause server performance issues when players executed certain scripts.

In addition to the backend improvements, a new gameplay element has been added, Capture the Flag events! Players can create their own missions to be solved by other players, earning some money in the process.

[h3]CPU Limit & Ram Limit[/h3]

These are the systems responsible for balancing server load.

Cpu Limit assigns a CPU execution time for each player. If the player exceeds this allocated time, CPU Limit will slow down the scripts so that they do not exceed this limit.

For example, having a script that runs an infinite loop, even if it is empty, will trigger CPU Limit, which will moderately slow down the script. The more scripts running at the same time that are triggering CPU limit, the slower they will all go in order to not exceed the CPU time assigned to the player.

A good practice to avoid triggering CPU Limit is to introduce waits in parts of your program where it is not necessary to be running at full capacity, such as in iterations of an infinite loop. A wait(0.1) in the appropriate place will be sufficient to avoid triggering CPU limit in most cases, as by waiting we are saving CPU time. In addition to wait, the user_input method resets CPU limit for that script.

On the other hand, RAM Limit is responsible for monitoring the real RAM memory usage on the server that is being used by the players' scripts. At the moment, the limit is approximately 512mb, once that point is reached, RAM Limit will stop the program with a notice in the terminal.

512mb is a more than generous amount of memory for a script, if RAM Limit closes any of your scripts, it would be advisable to review your implementation as you are reserving much more memory than necessary.

It is important to note that CPU Limit and RAM limit are only present in Multiplayer mode.

[h3]World generation & Database management[/h3]

Several aspects of database management have been re-implemented to avoid saving redundant data, which was causing very large database sizes over time. This also caused performance to gradually decline as queries were taking longer and longer to execute. Now each network is generated from a seed and only the device data is saved in the database when any change occurs.

This allows for performing database maintenance under optimal conditions, as from now on semi-wipes of the database will be possible to keep consistent performance over time. When these semi-wipes occur, the impact on players will be minimal. It will only affect NPC networks, and the result for the player will be the same as if the NPC admin had restored the computers in a network.

[h3]Capture the Flag[/h3]

Or commonly called CTF, are missions that players can create. You can visit any Hackshop to see the list of available missions.

To create a mission, you first need to rent a server. This rented network will be used as a template for the networks that will spawn when players accept your mission. In these missions, both the creators and the players who solve them receive money. The more players solve and rate your missions, the more money you can make.

[h3]Overwiew[/h3]

In the coming weeks, I will fix regression bugs that may have escaped us during the nightly build. When I consider that the Public version is stable, the next cycle of the nightly build will begin.

The next nightly build, unlike this one, will be dedicated practically entirely to introducing new gameplay elements. You can check the Roadmap to see the progress of development.

Happy hacking!

The merge is planned for approximately 48 hours from now!
It is recommended that you make backups of the programs that you want to keep from the public version, as there will be a database wipe when the merge occurs. Thank you for your testing!

- Fixed bug that caused repeated information to be added to the UI when using connect_ethernet from the ISP multiple times.

Hi people! As you may have noticed, there have been no changelogs on Steam for a while for the nightly build. Due to the special nature of this nightly build, new updates are being released almost every day, especially related to regression bugs caused by the massive changes made in the game's backend. So in order to not spam the news section during this time, the changelog have only been published on Discord.

Fortunately we are getting closer to the merge since the most critical bugs have been fixed, so I think it's a good idea to start posting the progress of the nightly build here again, although I will only publish the changelog here once a week with a summary of the previous updates to avoid spamming. Thank you for your constant support!

The nighly build is designed to help report bugs and provide feedback while the version is finished.
In this branch the updates will be frequent, of the order of several per week.

Important: Changing to the nightly build removes the savegame from the Single Player mode of the Public build and vice versa. Multiplayer mode progress is not deleted even if you switch from one build to another.

Visit the official Discord of the game for more information, support and the latest news from the nightly build.

[h3]Nightly Build Access[/h3]
Go to your Steam library, right click on Grey Hack and choose Properties. Youll see a tab for BETAS.

Click on that, and then in the box enter the code: nightlybuild

That done the dropdown box above should become active, and you can now select 'nightly'.

Thanks for your support and feedback!

Hello everyone! I would like to share with you the latest updates on the development.

There have been some new improvements in the nightly build that are extending the development time more than initially estimated.

Apart from the improvements in the database management, as mentioned in the previous preview, substantial improvements have been added to the execution of scripts by players.

To prevent server saturation issues that cause lags and slowdowns, usually caused by scripts that use a lot of server resources, a deep refactoring of the game has been carried out. Now, scripts will run as actual independent processes separate from the game, allowing for accurate monitoring of how much memory and CPU a script is using at any given time, which is not consistently measurable in the current public version.

This monitoring will allow the server to limit resources for players who are using too much CPU time across all their scripts, avoiding resource saturation and, therefore, the lags and slowdowns caused to other players. Additionally, there will now be a maximum limit of actual RAM memory that a script can reserve during its execution, also preventing complete server crashes if any script tries to use all available server RAM.

These changes also have some positive side effects, as it is no longer necessary to use some artificial limits introduced in Greyscript to prevent excessive memory reservation issues, such as the maximum total number of instantiated elements across all lists and maps in a script, as well as other similar limits.

The difficult part is already done, and the nightly build is now privately available for the debuggers group. Due to the deep changes made in the code, there is work to be done fixing critical regressions, so I cannot estimate when it will be available for everyone, but I hope it will be soon if no unexpected issues arise.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

Fixed regression bug in format_colums causing leading spaces to be ignored.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Fixed bug in "format_columns" scripting method that could cause performance problems if received
very large strings.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

Fixed regression bug that caused commands not to be launched in a safe mode Terminal, throwing the error "script is not attached to any existing terminal"

Hi everyone!

I have some exciting news to share with you. The game server has been updated to a much more powerful one, which means better performance and a smoother gaming experience for everyone in Multiplayer mode. However, due to technical reasons, it has not been possible to transfer the database to the new server.

So, for a few days, the game branch called old_public_build will be activated. This way, you'll be able to access your saved data from the old server, that it will still be online for several days, and transfer it to the new one if you'd like.

Please note that this change only affects the Multiplayer mode, and SinglePlayer mode will remain unaffected. You can access to the old_public_build branch without a password from Steam > Library > Right click on Grey Hack > Properties > Betas

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

Fixed regression bug that caused an error message to be displayed incorrectly when trying to install hardware while one or more scripts are running.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

Fixed bug #967: Exploit failing with insufficient amount of computers connected to the gateway even if the requirements are met when hubs are involved

Hello everyone!
I would like to share with you the latest news about the development.

The public version can already be considered stable, and this means that the next development cycle has already begun. Therefore, the public version will not receive updates for a while until the development of the nightly build ends and merges as usual.

[h3]Internal core systems rework[/h3]

The nightly build has already been in development for several weeks, and this time I am focusing on updating and redesigning several key systems of the game, such as world generation, which dates back to before the full range of IPv4 was included.

For a while, patches and workarounds for these systems were sufficient to keep the game world running while new playable features were being added, but at this advanced stage of development, these outdated systems are causing various problems that are interfering with the development of the game, so it is time to review and re-do the necessary systems, such as world generation, interaction with files and devices in general, web page management and search, etc.

These internal changes will be transparent to the player, as gameplay will not change, but will bring several visible improvements such as a drastically smaller savegame size in Single Player mode, greater overall stability of the game in both Multiplayer and SinglePlayer, and greater game response and script processing in certain circumstances, as well as the correction of known bugs (like the file content corruption bug) among other improvements.

Not only will it result in a more stable gaming experience, but these internal improvements will facilitate the inclusion of new features listed in the Roadmap.

[h3]CTF and more missions[/h3]

Although this nightly build is mainly dedicated to improving the backend of the game, some new gameplay features will be included.

Support will be given so that players can create CTF (capture the flag) events in a more "official" way, with several tools to facilitate the creation and dissemination of the news that a new event has just been created and its rewards.
In these events, a player will create a challenge that other players must overcome, such as obtaining a specific file from a remote server.

There will also be new hidden and karma missions, more elements of lore, and a complete replacement of the art shown on websites and images of JPG files.

Due to the special nature of this nightly build, it is possible that it will be available publicly earlier than in previous cycles.
More news soon!

Miniscript updated to latest version 1.5.1!

Miniscript is the language on which GreyScript is forked. Due to various changes and improvements of the new Miniscript some scripts may need some adjustments to work with the new version.

This build also adds a new general scripting method called get_custom_object which returns an empty Map object that can be used to share data back and forth with programs launched with shell.launch

In addition to the Miniscript update, various improvements and fixes have been made on server side to improve stability.

The experimental build will remain open for a couple of days In case any tester needs to copy any script left there.

This build updates Miniscript to the latest version 1.5.1

Miniscript is the language on which GreyScript is forked. Due to various changes and improvements of the new Miniscript some scripts may need some adjustments to work with the new version.
During the experimental build, the testing will focus on compatibility with scripts from the old version as well as performing several stress tests on the server to verify that no new bugs has been introduced.

This build also adds a new general scripting method called get_custom_object which returns an empty Map object that can be used to share data back and forth with programs launched with shell.launch

Once the experimental version is considered stable, it will be merged into the public version without a database wipe.
Still in the case of some unforeseen critical bug found during testing it is possible that the Miniscript update will be delayed until the Nightly build.

The password to access the experimental build is: expbuildtest

Thanks for your reports and feedback!

The public build has been updated with the latest available version of the game!

As usual, since the nightly build has merged to the public version, the nightly build has been disabled until the next cycle.

Note that version 0.8 is not complete with this update, there are still future additions to be included to consider version 0.8 complete.

[h3]Network layer rework[/h3]

The network layer has been completely replaced by a new system improving overall stability in Multiplayer, as well as fixing various issues that could arise when using slow or unstable connections like some Wi-Fi connections.

In addition, these changes in the network have also allowed certain improvements in the scripting system, facilitating the inclusion of new elements, as well as increasing the speed of execution and response.

[h3]Economy[/h3]


The first iteration of the economy is completed. This brings several important changes to different aspects of the game along with the inclusion of the Blockchain service for players to create their crypto-currencies. Note that everything is simulated, there is no real crypto in the game.

Players who create a coin have to create services that will be used by other players. The popularity and value of these coins will largely depend on the services created by these players.
These services, coins, as well as the wallets, can be hacked, being able to manipulate the value of a currency in various ways or even destroy it, affecting everyone who is using it.

In addition, now the players will have to face different monthly payments of services that they hire, such as rental servers or ISP.

[h3]ISP[/h3]


ISPs (Internet Service Providers) have been introduced allowing the player to rent their own network. This includes the possibility of being able to connect from your computer to your own network through the network cable instead of Wi-Fi, which may be beneficial for certain situations. In addition, it also adds the possibility of deactivating any installed network card from the desktop widget.

This type of networks are very similar to rental servers and their configuration is done in the same way using ConfigLan.

When hiring ISP or renting a normal server you can choose between different internet speeds that will influence the total monthly cost.

[h3]Summary[/h3]

In addition to the main changes, different aspects of the game have been improved and lots of bugs have been fixed. The tutorial has been improved as well as the manual. Here is the changelog with a summary of the changes.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Replaced Game Network Layer.

- Economy revamp.

- Added auto-script execution in players computers when the system boots. You need to place the desired scripts to be auto-executed inside the folder /etc/init.d

- Added new scripting objects: Service, Blockchain, Coin, Wallet and Subwallet

- Improvements in the manual and the tutorial.

- Added new programs in shops: wallet and Stocks.exe

- Moved rental servers purchase from shops to IPS webpages

- Removed starter money when registering a bank account and implemented coupons when starting a new game that can be exchanged for hackshop programs and exploits.

- Added new Service object to the scripting system, which can be obtained by importing libssh.so, libftp.so, libchat.so, libhttp.so, librshell.so, librepository.so libraries using include_lib.

- Migrated the chat, ssh, ftp, rshell, http and repository services installers from shops to scripting, as well as the binaries to start and stop the service. You can check the source code of the installers using CodeEditor. For example CodeEditor.exe -code ssh-server

The nightly build is open to everyone featuring a renewed game network layer and Economy system redesign.

Note that the Nightly version is unstable, may contain game breaking bugs and the savegame can be deleted frequently. So It is not recommended for new players.

The nighly build is designed to help report bugs and provide feedback while the version is finished.
In this branch the updates will be frequent, of the order of several per week.

Important: Changing to the nightly build removes the savegame from the Single Player mode of the Public build and vice versa. Multiplayer mode progress is not deleted even if you switch from one build to another.

Visit the official Discord of the game for more information, support and the latest news from the nightly build.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Replaced Game Network Layer.

- Economy revamp.

- Added new programs in Shops: blockchain-server (it will install the blockchain.so library), coin_miner, wallet, Stocks.exe. You can check the source code with CodeEditor.exe -code of coin_miner, and wallet.

- Added two new scripting objects: blockchain and wallet

- Added two new scripting methods under general: create_wallet and login_wallet.

- Added new scripting methods under blockchain: create_coin, mining, coin_price, show_nodes, show_history, amount_mined

- Added new scripting methods under wallet: list_coins, get_balance, transaction, buy_coin, sell_coin, get_pending_trade, cancel_pending_trade, get_global_offers, list_global_coins

- Fixed several issues with ConfigLan.exe which could cause the network to become corrupted after trying to make changes to it.

- Improved ConfigLan.exe to allow managing the monthly payments of the servers.

- The monthly payment of the servers is made globally, if the global payment fails, all the servers are deactivated. From ConfigLan.exe you can individually activate the servers you want, but if the next global payment fails again, it will be deactivated.

- Added auto-script execution in players computers when the system boots. You need to place the desired scripts to be auto-executed inside the folder /etc/init.d

NOTES:
- New hacking method delayed due unexpected technical issues.

Known issues: When creating a new game in Single Player mode, the loading time is significantly longer than in the public version.

Thanks for your support and feedback!

Hello everyone!
I would like to share with you the latest news about the development.

The first iteration of the economy is almost completed. This brings several important changes to different aspects of the game along with the inclusion of the Blockchain service for players to create their crypto-currencies. Note that everything is simulated, there is no real crypto in the game.

Blockchain
The creation of a coin is a trivial process and limited to one per player, since the important thing is that said coin has some value in the future. As in real life, the blockchain system is practically hack-proof and it is not a centralized system on a single server, so we start on the premise that the coins created in the game are safe.

Players must mine the coin and make buy/sell offers for its value to increase. As in reality, users specify the price in a free market system. Therefore, if you want to sell/buy coins, you must provide a price at which you want to sell/buy, and the buyers/sellers must accept the proposed price.
That system is the one that will determine the approximate value of a coin based on the last transactions made. Therefore, it will be the users themselves who will finally determine the prices of the coins.

Although it is possible to consult the offers of the players, the purchase or sale is not made directly between them like in a store, but the transactions will be completed automatically if the proposed prices are greater than or equal to any available offer.

Mining
The mining process is based on a reward system, and just like in real life, depending on the power of the computers mining the same coin, it will be decided which player gets the reward between each mining cycle.
This means that even if you leave a computer mining constantly, it does not guarantee you the reward if other players are mining the same currency with more powerful machines.
In addition, several machines can be used to mine for the same Wallet, creating the possibility of having farms. Therefore, the more computers you have mining a coin and the more powerful these are, the more likely it is that you will get the reward.
At the moment, due to certain technical limitations, mining requires active terminals and the player to be online, although this may change in the future.

Banks
To avoid inflation when you want to sell coins in exchange for the base money of the game, all purchases and sales are made directly from the bank accounts of the players, therefore the money will be moved instead of new money being created.
From now on banks will charge fees for keeping your money and for transactions made, so it is not a bad idea to invest in some crypto-currency where there are no taxes on your money.

Also to avoid inflation, NPCs will no longer receive monthly payments in their bank accounts, in addition to the money available in them being considerably reduced.
Other recurring payments have been implemented, such as rented servers, where your payment will be monthly, and will increase exponentially depending on the number of servers you hire.

Since a stable economy is one of the most difficult aspects to achieve in an MMO, various adjustments and changes will be made during the nightly build based on feedback and testing.
For this reason, unlike previous nightly builds, some of the new features such as the inclusion of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) will be added during the public Nightly build, since I will try to limit database wiping as much as possible during economy testing.

So it is very possible that the public Nightly Build will be available before other previous versions.
The experimental branch will be closed in the next few days, since the testing of the new network system has concluded and it will be included in the nightly build.

More news soon!

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Fixed Bug #851: objects on subnet not seen as on same subnet in router LAN exploits if the target is connected to a hub.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Fixed issue in the mail program, which allowed players to use certain tags to display UI elements reserved to be summoned only by mail from Npcs.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Admin tools updated.

Hello everyone!
I would like to share with you the latest news about the development.

The public version can already be considered stable and this means that the next development cycle has already begun. Therefore the public version will not receive updates for a while until the development of the nightly build ends and merges as usual.

Version 0.7 is now finished and so the Nightly build will start with version 0.8.x. The Roadmap has been updated to reflect the last updates.
As always remember that the roadmap is an overview of the development and there are planned features that are not included there. The order in which new features are included may change at any time.

The next Nightly build will bring a completely revamped network system, improving overall stability in Multiplayer, as well as fixing various issues that could arise when using slow or unstable connections like some Wi-Fi connections.
These and other improvements are currently being tested in the experimental branch of the game, which could be considered a pre-nightly build. You can join the official discord of the game for more information about how to access the experimental branch.

In addition to the new network system, the nightly build will completely revamp the game's economy, which until now was a placeholder.
This will bring certain changes in banks, making it no longer so easy to empty bank accounts and get away with it, as well as greater security that will make it significantly more difficult to make transfers without being traced.
In addition, the player will have to face additional payments, such as the monthly payment of rentals, fees on bank transactions, fines if the police catch you, etc.

This leads to other alternatives to get money, adding the possibility that players can create their own cryptocurrency using a dedicated scripting API. Note that everything is simulated, there is no real crypto in the game.

The use that the players give to each published currency and other factors, such as mining, will decide its value in the game and, as it happens in reality, this value can fluctuate. Therefore, it will be necessary to plan when is the best time to buy/sell or exchange currencies, also adding the possibility of carrying out attacks to manipulate the market.

Due to the complexity of maintaining a stable economy, changes and adjustments will be added depending on the feedback during the nightly build and successive versions of the game.

In addition to the economy, the Nightly build will add two new main hacking methods, apart from the well-known "overflow" in libraries, increasing the chances of entering systems and also new methods to defend against these new possible attacks.

Apart from this, there are more features that will be included in the next Nightly build and will be revealed as development progresses.

More news soon!

The public build has been updated with the latest available version of the game!

As usual, since the nightly build has merged to the public version, the nightly build has been disabled until the next cycle.

[h3]Hidden missions, secrets and lore[/h3]

Hidden missions around the world have been added, as well as other secrets, rewarding the exploration.

Now there are new types of files, such as images, chat logs and PDFs.
In many cases the information found here as in other types of files will be banal and will not have any relevance, other times they will offer interesting information about the world and what happens in it, and other times they will be clues that will lead to discovering a hidden mission.

Not only are these new types of files can be tied to missions, but any existing system could provide a valuable clue, such as emails, system logs, web pages, etc.
These hidden missions have a history, are more complex than direct missions (hackshops) and may require access to different networks in order to be completed.

You can choose how the mission will be finished, for example, in the case of discovering a crime, you can notify the police or extort the criminal, in which case the actions you take will have an impact on your karma level.

In addition to the missions hidden around the world, other types of missions of similar complexity and difficulty will be triggered based on your karma + reputation and will be much easier to access. More hidden/karma missions in addition to more secrets will be added during next updates.

For those who want to do direct and simpler missions, in addition to the hackhops, now the web pages of the police stations are also enabled to accept jobs, giving positive karma and reputation. On the other hand, certain missions of the hackshops, although they also give reputation, in many cases will provide negative karma. More direct and indirect missions as well as more lore will be added in future updates.

[h3]Mail program nenewed[/h3]



The mail program has been renewed to be able to manage the inbox more comfortably. The option to include attachments in emails has been added to be able to send them to other players as well as anti-spam options.

The first iteration of the email scripting API has also been added, allowing you to read and send emails to other players from the terminal.

[h3]Custom Wallpaper[/h3]

Now you can use your own wallpaper. You need to add the images you want in a folder on your real computer, preferably with a maximum size of 1920x1080 if you use a 16:9 monitor. Then in the game, from the Appearance application it will be enough to choose the image from the same dropdown where the game's default images are.

[h3]Apt repositories[/h3]



The apt-get system has been added, providing repositories that players can create and new scripting APIs to access to them.
Also by default hackshops have this service enabled so you can update or install your programs from the command line without using the browser.
In future updates a GUI layer will be added to apt-get so that its use is not only restricted to the terminal.

[h3]import_code[/h3]

Added method import_code. It imports the contents of the text file indicated on the path parameter. This method is useful for all the code of a program to be distributed between several different files and also to avoid the limit of characters allowed by text file.
Keep in mind that this process occurs in compilation time, this means that you need to put the complete path as an argument in import_code, as if you store it in a variable it will cause a compilation error.

Example:

//main.src
import_code("/home/user/my_module.src")
print("bye")

//my_module.src
print("hello!")

#Output
hello!
bye

The nightly build is open to everyone featuring new hidden missions around the world, in addition to other secrets and more!

Note that the Nightly version is unstable, may contain game breaking bugs and the savegame can be deleted frequently. So It is not recommended for new players.

The nighly build is designed to help report bugs and provide feedback while the version is finished.
In this branch the updates will be frequent, of the order of several per week.

Important: Changing to the nightly build removes the savegame from the Single Player mode of the Public build and vice versa. Multiplayer mode progress is not deleted even if you switch from one build to another.

Visit the official Discord of the game for more information, support and the latest news from the nightly build.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Added 16 hidden missions; 8 Hidden, 8 Karma, 2 reserved for white and black hats respectively. During the Nightly build more missions will be added.

- Added 4 new direct missions and updated the internal system that manages them. Since direct missions were not initially within the scope of this nightly, there are improvements and new pending missions reserved for future updates.

- Added new type files; chat-logs, PDFs and images.

- Added first batch of lore in the game that you can find over the network.

- Renewed Mail program.

- Added option in Mail program to attach files.

- Added option to use custom wallpapers, go to Settings>Appearance to know how to install them.

- Improved ScanLan.exe to be visually consistent across all resolutions and UI scales.

- Now you can also open the users panel by clicking on your username in the upper right corner of the screen.

- Bug fixes and general code improvements.

NOTES:
- Trace system and npc admin backups disabled temporarily.
- For testing reasons, direct missions of a higher level than the one you have can be accepted.

[h3]Nightly Build Access[/h3]
Go to your Steam library, right click on Grey Hack and choose Properties. Youll see a tab for BETAS.

Click on that, and then in the box enter the code: nightlybuild

That done the dropdown box above should become active, and you can now select 'nightly'.

Thanks for your support and feedback!

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Fixed major regression bug that prevented the missions status from being saved when exiting the game in Single Player mode, causing the accepted missions unable to be solved when starting the game again.
Multiplayer mode was also affected when restarting the server.

- Fixed Bug 676 - Can't complete starter mission after replying with correct password. (Affected by the error mentioned above)

NOTE: The fix applies to missions accepted from now on. Missions prior to this patch will still not work.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

Fixed bug that prevented e-mails from being sent from an npc account, making it impossible for the "Funny Game" social engineering option to work.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Fixed Bug #674 - Firewall exploits are generated that require a non-root user on the router/switch.

Note: The fix also applies to Firewall exploits previously generated to this patch, although in the description of the store it could still shows "non-root" as permissions obtained but they are "guest".

Hi people,
I'd like to update you on the latest news in the Nightly Build.

As I mentioned in the previous reports, this Nightly Build will feature new hidden missions around the world, in addition to other secrets, as well as the development of karma and the reputation of the player.

The system of direct missions, provided by hackshops, has also been completely rewritten to improve its stability and and allow a greater variety in these missions.
New direct missions will be added that will only be available at different reputation levels, leaving the currently existing missions for the lower levels. The difficulty of the missions will increase according to their level, and may involve access to several different networks to complete them.

Besides the hackshops, the web pages of the police stations will also provide direct missions, where you can also report the crimes you have discovered in indirect missions while exploring the world, obtaining as a reward money and positive karma.

Unlike indirect missions (Hidden, Karma) that require the player to investigate and meet clues that lead him to the next step in the mission, direct missions require a specific objective for his resolution.

Speaking of other things, some secondary features have been added by popular request.



Now you can use your own wallpaper. You need to add the images you want in a folder on your real computer, preferably with a maximum size of 1920x1080 if you use a 16:9 monitor. Then in the game, from the Appearance application it will be enough to choose the image from the same dropdown where the game's default images are.

Also with the revamp of the email program, the possibility of attaching any type of file to emails has been included to be able to send them to other players.

The Nightly build will be publicly available in approximately 3 weeks. For debuggers, as usual, it will be available a few days before.

More news soon!

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Fixed bug in the generation of some networks, causing crashes in the scripting system when performing simple commands such as nmap towards these networks.

- The users of the new bank accounts generated from now on are alphanumeric. (related to the previous bug)

- Fixed bug in aireplay when introducing the bssid with some value in lowercase, causing the command to get stuck after find the router.

Hey hackers!
I'd like to update you on the latest news about the next version of the Nightly Build.

As I mentioned in the previous report, this Nightly Build will feature new hidden missions around the world, in addition to other secrets, as well as the development of karma and the reputation of the player.

At this moment, the development tool for the creation of these missions is finished. This will allow me to be able to include varied missions quickly, making it only necessary to focus on the design of the mission, since once the design is finished, its inclusion in the world is carried out in a matter of minutes.

At the moment there are 10 new missions created, and this number will increase in the coming weeks until reaching the approximate number of 40 missions for the publication of the Nightly Build to continue increasing during the Nightly public development.

To implement these new missions, the mail system has been rewritten, and incidentally the mail client has also been renewed so that its use is more comfortable and stable, also allowing the player on some occasions to respond specific phrases to certain emails.

In addition to the missions, there are already fragments of lore and a definitive background (context) for the world of Grey Hack, where players can learn about it in the various PDF files that they will find on the network. This lore will sometimes be directly and indirectly related to the new missions.

At the moment I still can not give a specific date of when the nightly build will be accessible, but its development is going well, without blockers or technical problems, so we are closer every day.

More news soon!

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Guest users can no longer launch computer.connect_ethernet and computer.connect_wifi methods.

- file.set_owner and file.set_group methods respect the file permissions instead of always requiring the root user to be able to execute these methods.

- Fixed internal crash in the terminal when trying to copy empty text, spamming the game log.

- Fixed bug that caused websites that were inaccessible due to changing IPs to continue to appear in web searches.

Hi people!
I would like to share with you the latest news about the development.

As some of you know, for some time the development has been focused on the nightly build, therefore the public version will not receive updates for a while until the development of the nightly build ends and merges as usual.

Here are some details of what you will find in the next nightly build.



Hidden missions around the world have been added, as well as other secrets, rewarding the exploration.

Now there are new types of files, such as images, chat logs and PDFs.
In many cases the information found here as in other types of files will be banal and will not have any relevance, other times they will offer interesting information about the world and what happens in it, and other times they will be clues that will lead to discovering a hidden mission.

Not only are these new types of files can be tied to missions, but any existing system could provide a valuable clue, such as emails, system logs, web pages, etc.
These hidden missions have a history, are more complex than missions on request (hackshops) and may require access to different networks in order to be completed.

The player will be able to choose how the mission will be finished, for example, in the case of discovering a crime, you can notify the police or or extort the criminal among other options, in which case the actions you take will have an impact on your karma level. Note that these actions may trigger future events even if the mission has been completed.

In addition to the missions hidden around the world, other types of missions of similar complexity and difficulty will be triggered based on your karma + reputation and will be much easier to access in addition to frequently having a continuity in their history between them.

For those who want to do direct and simpler missions, in addition to the hackhops, to which new missions will also be added, now the web pages of the police stations are also enabled to accept jobs, giving positive karma and reputation. On the other hand, certain missions of the hackshops, although they also give reputation, in many cases will provide negative karma.

The value of karma represents what type of hacker you are on the network and this together with your reputation can open or close doors in game events as well as the options that can be presented at the time of completing a mission.

To achieve this variety of missions, the npc system will be rewritten so that the AI has a more natural behavior and that its habits can be included as variables to take into account to solve certain missions or trigger a specific event.

Although these missions may eventually be repeated, as they are generated in procedurally created systems, the ways to access the systems involved in the missions will be different each time.

For the first public version of the nightly build, around 40 new missions of various types will be included, as well as other types of content that we could call lore.
During the development of the nightly build the number of missions will gradually increase until reaching an approximate number of 80 missions.

The number of missions will continue to increase in the next development cycles, although these are focused on other systems.

More news soon!

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- CCTVs now have a user created with the name "cctv", whose password is the one required to access the camera instead of the root password.
NOTE: This change only applies to CCTVs generated from now on. The CCTVs generated prior to this update will continue to accept the root password to access.

- Added Social Engineering option to ask the network administrator for the password of a specific CCTV. The name of the administrator, the local address of the camera and the name of any npc that exists on the network are required.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Fixed regression bug that caused emails with the details of some missions not to be received, especially affecting police missions.

The public build has been updated with the latest available version of the game!

As usual, since the nightly version becomes the public version, the nightly branch has been closed until the next cycle.
Here is a summary of the main changes and features.

[h3]Player custom networks[/h3]


Now rented servers are expanded to rented networks!
By renting a server, new devices can be added to the network, such as routers, switches, hubs or more servers to improve the security of your network, in addition to being able to add firewalls.

With the new ConfigLan tool, you will be able to remotely manage your networks, as well as reset them to their original state if for some reason you have lost the possibility of re-entering the network, either due to a configuration error or a hack.

[h3]Sniffers[/h3]


With the introduction of sniffers, players can capture the passwords of npcs and other players.

Now the ssh and ftp services allow an encrypted connection, causing sniffers to only capture encrypted passwords. Although ssh and ftp have a default encryption method, it is easily creackable, since the source code is available for study in the Manual.

Therefore players can program their own encryption system to be used with these services, so that other players can try to crack the encryption system to obtain the password.

This mechanic consist of two scripts that will have to be installed on the server, Encode and Decode. Where sniffers can also capture the source code from Encode, but not from Decode.
As you can imagine, sniffers and encrypted connections will have more prominence in Multiplayer mode than in Single Player mode.

[h3]CCTV[/h3]


Security cameras have also been implemented, adding one more attack vector.
In some networks you will find security cameras installed, usually in companies, that can show the interior of these buildings. If you look closely at the environment you may find useful information.

The cameras are accessible through the browser, since they use an http server to make the connection, although they require a password to access.

[h3]Reverse shells[/h3]
That is, the victim connects to you, instead of you to the victim. This technique allows access to computers that do not have any service installed.

Reverse shells implicitly include the use of a Trojan, since to perform a reverse shell, you must first get the victim to execute your code through social engineering, and this code will install a local service that will connect to your IP as soon as possible, giving you access to a shell.

Keep in mind that you will have to have a publicly accessible service, such as ssh, for this technique to work, making you vulnerable to attacks from others.

[h3]Firewalls[/h3]


Firewalls can be activated on routers, and can be configured to block the entry of traffic through a specific port, or on the contrary allow access to certain IP addresses.

While some versions of kernel_router.so may allow an exploit to disable the firewall, the secure versions will need a bit more work to get through the firewall.

With the new scanrouter tool, which you will be able to find in hackshops, you will be able to scan routers from the outside to know their firewall configuration, in this way you can know which IP addresses are allowed, opening a possible entry to the system when connecting through a machine with a allowed IP.

[h3]Bug-fixes and other improvements[/h3]


Improvements have also been added to the interface as well as to the search for content from other players in the internet seach engine, sorting player made web pages by popularity.

In addition to this new features, a significant number of bugs have been fixed. You can check the details in the changelogs of the nightly build prior to this version.

Thanks for your feedback and support!

- Reverted change in network generation, which forced the root password to be different on each device on the network.

- Increased starter money for testing purposes.

The nightly build is open to everyone featuring new hacking techniques, new devices and more!

Note that the Nightly version is unstable, may contain game breaking bugs and the savegame can be deleted frequently. So It is not recommended for new players.

The nighly build is designed to help report bugs and provide feedback while the version is finished.
In this branch the updates will be frequent, of the order of several per week.

Important: Changing to the nightly build removes the savegame from the Single Player mode of the Public build and vice versa. Multiplayer mode progress is not deleted even if you switch from one build to another.

Visit the official Discord of the game for more information, support and the latest news from the nightly build.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Added firewalls in router and switches devices.

- Modified routerscan script in hackshop to show the firewall information from any router/switch.

- Added vulnerability in router/switches that allows disabling the rules if used with metaxploit.firewall_overflow

- Added ConfigLan.exe tool to remotely manage your networks, as well as reset them to their original state if for some reason you have lost the possibility of re-entering the network, either due to a configuration error or a hack.
Any rented network will add automatically the public IP in the /home/user/Config/ConfigLan.conf

- Added Sniffers: players can capture the passwords of npcs and other players.

- Added ssh encryption: Now the ssh and ftp services allow an encrypted connection, causing sniffers to only capture encrypted passwords. To configure it, you need to edit the file /server/conf/sshd.conf

Thanks for your support and feedback!

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- The RAM memory of the routers has been increased.

- In addition to ScanLan, routers can now run the visual programs FileExplorer, Notepad and Terminal.

Hi people!
I would like to share with you the latest news about the development.

As some of you know, for some time the development has been focused on the nightly build, therefore the public version will not receive updates for a while until the development of the nightly build ends and merges as usual.

Unlike previous nightly builds, this time all the features planned for this development cycle will be included before opening it for public testing.

Here are some details of what you will find in the next nightly build:

[h3]Player custom networks[/h3]


Now rented servers are expanded to rented networks!
By renting a server, new devices can be added to the network, such as routers, switches, hubs or more servers to improve the security of your network, in addition to being able to add firewalls.

With the new ConfigLan tool, you will be able to remotely manage your networks, as well as reset them to their original state if for some reason you have lost the possibility of re-entering the network, either due to a configuration error or a hack.

[h3]Sniffers[/h3]


With the introduction of sniffers, players can capture the passwords of npcs and other players.

Now the ssh and ftp services allow an encrypted connection, causing sniffers to only capture encrypted passwords. Although ssh and ftp have a default encryption method, it is easily creackable, since the source code is available for study in the Manual.

Therefore players can program their own encryption system to be used with these services, so that other players can try to crack the encryption system to obtain the password.

This mechanic will consist of two scripts that will have to be installed on the server, Encode and Decode. Where sniffers can also capture the source code from Encode, but not from Decode.
As you can imagine, sniffers and encrypted connections will have more prominence in Multiplayer mode than in Single Player mode.

[h3]New devices[/h3]


In addition to anticipated devices, such as printers or smartphones, security cameras have also been added, adding one more attack vector.
In some networks you will find security cameras installed, usually in companies, that can show the interior of these buildings. If you look closely at the environment you may find useful information.

The cameras are accessible through the browser, since they use an http server to make the connection, although they require a password to access.

[h3]New hacking techniques[/h3]

New APIs will be added to the metaxploit library to allow reverse shells. That is, the victim connects to you, instead of you to the victim. This technique allows access to computers that do not have any service installed.

Reverse shells implicitly include the use of a Trojan, since to perform a reverse shell, you must first get the victim to execute your code through social engineering, and this code will install a local service that will connect to your IP as soon as possible, giving you access to a shell.

Keep in mind that you will have to have a publicly accessible service, such as ssh, for this technique to work, making you vulnerable to attacks from others.

More news soon!

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Fixed bug in the Trace System, causing all networks to be considered as high security.
Except in Banks, Police Stations and Hackshops which are high security networks, now the Trace System will start depending on the competence of the admin, this means that, for example, there may be administrators who will not react to a shell obtained, but will with a deleted file.

- Routers now have FileExplorer installed by default in /usr/bin.
Note: this change only affects the networks that are generated from now on.

The public build has been updated with the latest available version of the game!

As usual, since the nightly build has merged to the public version, the nightly build has been disabled until the next cycle.

In addition to new features, this update fixes a significant number of bugs, including performance issues that the server was experiencing lately in addition to data loss from the database.

Keep in mind that version 0.7 is not yet complete and its development will continue in the next cycle of the Nightly Build.

[h3]Local Network[/h3]
Unlike the previous version where all the computers in the network hang on a router, now local networks can have more than one router and their computers can be grouped into switches and hubs.
Because of this, certain computers on the network can be protected in various ways from unwanted access from outside, in addition to the usual methods.

Depending on the type of network and how big it is, you may have to hack more than one computer until you can reach your destination, although a large network is not necessarily more secure than a small network, it all depends on how it is configured.

One of the main changes is that routers and switches can now be accessed using exploits in the same way as with a computer. In addition to being one more access door to the target, access to these devices will help players to update the libraries of their routers by downloading the newest ones from these devices in addition to being able to access the saved connection logs.

Now you may notice that there are fewer ports open to the outside when you do an nmap, this does not mean that there are no more active servers on the network, and the router access can be very useful to enter to the network.

[h3]Scripting changes[/h3]

- A dynamic scripting speed system has been introduced, adapting to the load of the server at that moment. This results in a significant increase in the speed execution.

- Now the print command works in realtime, therefore you can see the text output of your scripts even if they have not finished running yet.

- wait method re-enabled.

- computer_ports renamed to device_ports

- computers_lan_ip renamed to devices_lan_ip

- Added methods connect_ethernet, network_gateway, active_net_card, ping, connect_wifi, active_net_card, clear_screen

- All commands migrated to the scripting system.

[h3]ScanLan[/h3]

This program allows you to see in detail how the network is built and the devices connected to it. Remember that you must upload the program to a device connected to the local network and run it to see the information of that network.

The local network will be expanded in the next cycle of the nightly build to include more different devices, such as printers, smartphones, etc. as well as sniffers and firewalls will be reactivated and completed. In addition to the option for players to build and expand their own networks.

More news soon!

- Fixed bug in the generation of the local network that could cause a wrong configuration in the portforward of the main router, causing various problems such as not being able to access a website or the ssh server of a rented server.

- Added missing documentation for ping command and scripting methods get_switch and shell.ping and shell.scp

The Nightly branch is open featuring the new LAN system!
Here you will be able to access the newest version of the game to help with testing and feedback by the time it moves to the public branch.

Note that the Nightly version is unstable, may contain game breaking bugs and the savegame can be deleted frequently. So It is not recommended for new players.

In this branch the updates will be frequent, of the order of several per week.

Important: Changing to the nightly branch removes the savegame from the Single Player mode of the Public branch and vice versa. Multiplayer mode progress is not deleted even if you switch from one branch to another.

Visit the official Discord of the game for more information, support and the latest news from the nightly branch.

[h3]Local Network[/h3]
The first version of the new local network system is ready!

Unlike the public version where all the computers in the network hang on a router, now local networks can have more than one router and their computers can be grouped into switches and hubs.
Because of this, certain computers on the network can be protected in various ways from unwanted access from outside, in addition to the usual methods.

Depending on the type of network and how big it is, you may have to hack more than one computer until you can reach your destination, although a large network is not necessarily more secure than a small network, it all depends on how it is configured.

One of the main changes is that routers and switches can now be accessed using exploits in the same way as with a computer. In addition to being one more access door to the target, access to these devices will help players to update the libraries of their routers by downloading the newest ones from these devices in addition to being able to access the saved connection logs.

Now you may notice that there are fewer ports open to the outside when you do an nmap, this does not mean that there are no more active servers on the network, and the router access can be very useful to enter to the network.

In this first version, network cards and hardware firewalls are available, which can be configured from any router or switch.

During the development of the nightly build, new devices will be implemented on the network, as well as new hacking methods, such as sniffers, and the possibility that the player can design his own network when renting a server. At the moment, as a placeholder, the networks of the rented servers are generated randomly and you can update the hardware of any computer present on the network.

You can find basic documentation of the new ScanLan in the manual. This information will be improved and completed when it is ready for the public branch.

[h3]Scripting changes[/h3]
During the nightly build, more changes will take place in the scripting system, in addition to the exploit system. At the moment these are the main changes:

- computer_ports renamed to device_ports
- computers_lan_ip renamed to devices_lan_ip
- Added methods connect_ethernet, network_gateway, active_net_card, ping.

[h3]Nightly Build Access[/h3]
Go to your Steam library, right click on Grey Hack and choose Properties. Youll see a tab for BETAS.

Click on that, and then in the box enter the code: nightlybuild

That done the dropdown box above should become active, and you can now select 'nightly'.

Thanks for your support and feedback!

[h3]Changelog[/h3]
- Fixed critical bug in Single Player mode, causing library vulnerabilities to be different for the same versions after restarting the game.

NOTE: If you have started a game in Single Player mode before this version, it is recommended that you delete the world and start a new game or the bug will persist.
To delete the world in Single Player mode, select the "Delete world" option before starting the game.

Hello people!

I would like to share with you the latest news in development.
In the next Nightly Build the local network system will be introduced.

Unlike the public version where all the computers in the network hang on a router, now local networks can have more than one router and their computers can be grouped into switches and hubs.
Because of this, certain computers on the network can be protected in various ways from unwanted access from outside, in addition to the usual methods.

Depending on the type of network and how big it is, you may have to hack more than one computer until you can reach your destination.

This system "unlocks" other parts of the development that were waiting, such as network sniffers, firewalls and network cards, which will finally be ready for nightly build, as well as new methods in the scripting system.

During the development of the nightly build, more devices will be introduced in the local network such as printers and smartphones, in addition to allowing access to routers and switches via shell.

The new local network system will also be used on rented servers, allowing players to build their own networks.

More news coming soon!

The nightly build is open to everyone featuring the new world generation system and players Guilds!

Note that the Nightly version is unstable, may contain game breaking bugs and the savegame can be deleted frequently. So It is not recommended for new players.

The nighly build is designed to help report bugs and provide feedback while the version is finished.
In this branch the updates will be frequent, of the order of several per week.

Important: Changing to the nightly branch removes the savegame from the Single Player mode of the Public branch and vice versa. Multiplayer mode progress is not deleted even if you switch from one branch to another.

Visit the official Discord of the game for more information, support and the latest news from the nightly branch.

[h3]New world generation[/h3]
With the renewal of the generation system, it is possible to explore more than 4 billion ips, all of the ipv4 range. Adding computers on LAN, you can reach a total of more than 20 billion computers to explore.

The new system allows a greater number of computers in LAN as well as better control over wipes during development.

Although the improvements in the variation will be completed during the nightly build, you can already notice some changes in the variation and the number of services generated in certain networks.

[h3]Guild System[/h3]
The first version of the Guilds is ready!
Using the guilds, players can create groups to organize.

NOTE: Certain features such as group missions and bank management are not yet available, they will be completed in the next updates.

[h3]Known issues[/h3]
- Trace system is disabled temporarily.

- Admin restoration is disabled temporarily.

- Although npcs have associated email and bank accounts, this accounts do not exist in the world. This means that the missions can be completed but you cannot hack or access these accounts.
This is because the bank and mail system are being replaced by improved versions to adding related incoming features.

Hi all!

I would like to update you on the latest news in development. There are exciting new improvements!

For a correct implementation of the Guilds, certain improvements and expansions in the world generation have been necessary.

From now on Grey Hack will have more than 4 billion IP addresses to explore, basically all existing addresses in the ipv4 range, or in other words, any IP address now exists in the game. If we consider the number of computers on LAN for each network, we can be talking about much more than 8 billion computers to explore.

The new generation system also brings improvements at the development level, allowing "forced" wipes no longer necessary if some aspect of the generation between updates was modified.

Also the loading time at the start of the game has dramatically decreased, especially noticeable in the Single Player mode where the player loads the world on the client side.

And most importantly, the new system will improve the variation between generated networks.

This feature is practically finished and is currently being tested in the Nightly build privately while critical bugs are fixed.

The Nightly build will open for everyone in the coming weeks.
More news coming soon!

Hello everyone!

Finally, the public version can already be considered stable and this means that the next development cycle has already begun.

As always, you can take a look at the Roadmap to know the next features that will be included, although you have to remember that they are not done in order.

The next major update will bring the Guilds or Clans system, that will include other features on which it depends, such as new services, the beginning of the development of the economy, new commands and improvements to the scripting system and a renewed world generation system among others.

As usual, the public build will stop receiving updates until the next major update, and very soon the Nightly version will open with the last version of the game available, where you can help test the new features and report bugs before moving it to the public build.

From now on, the Nightly development cycles will be much shorter, since all necessary base features are finally implemented. Therefore, major updates of the public version will be more frequent.

As always, thanks for your support and suggestions.
More news soon!
