Our guidance
How do I manage the risk of being caught while hacking?
Every action you perform increases your TRACE level. You must monitor this percentage closely and disconnect from the network before your trace reaches 100% to avoid being caught by the system security.
Your objective is to scan networks, probe services, and crack passwords by typing commands into the terminal. You pivot between servers to uncover secrets hidden within the smart grid while managing your trace levels.
How can I learn the specific commands needed to play?
If you are new to terminal games, the first mission provides a guided tutorial that teaches you commands one at a time. You can also type HELP or add --help to any command for assistance.
