Hacknet is an immersive, terminal-based hacking simulator for PC. Dive down a rabbit hoIe as you follow the instructions of a recently deceased hacker, whose death may not have been the accident the media reports.
Players navigate systems by typing authentic UNIX commands like "connect 192.168.1.1" and "scan -p 22", execute precise technical sequences to breach computer networks, and manage time-sensitive trace mechanics, forcing quick disconnections to avoid detection
Exploit specific network ports using tools like SSHCrack.exe, progressively unlock more complex system access through strategic tool acquisition, crack security by understanding port vulnerabilities (SSH, FTP, Web Server), develop logical strategies to bypass firewalls and proxy systems, and learn trace prevention techniques in real-time scenarios
Follow cryptic instructions from a deceased hacker named "Bit", uncover plot details by excavating hidden emails, IRC logs, and system documents, drive investigation through player-initiated exploration, and reveal a multilayered cybersecurity conspiracy
Minimize graphical distractions, focusing on raw text interactions, embed authentic hacker culture references, use an underground electronic soundtrack to heighten tension, and simulate genuine computer system interactions
Master increasingly complex command-line techniques, solve intricate network puzzles using logical deduction, develop intuitive understanding of system vulnerabilities, and unravel a sophisticated narrative through systematic exploration
Empower players with technological agency, challenge intellectual problem-solving skills, provide satisfying system penetration mechanics, and teach fundamental computing principles through interactive gameplay
