Anyone else here play hacking games? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

yotta · 05-27-2003, 09:47 PM

I just started working on HackQuest again, and managed to complete another challange. That always puts me in a good mood :-) (My stats page)

Anyone else play these?

cheese · 05-28-2003, 01:58 AM

i have played Uplink that game is great and for $10 its a great buy

DarkPho · 05-28-2003, 02:06 AM

I played a demo of Uplink, but i got caught and couldnt figuire out how to pay the fee. I'm sure i pay the money to someones bank account

yotta · 05-28-2003, 03:17 AM

I have a copy of uplink, and it's fun, but... Well, it does't require a whole lot of thinking. It's really a very glorified script kiddy sim/spy game (which doesn't make it ant less fun, and it DOES have a plot, which sadly most online hacking games lack). Most people don't even know how to bypass a javascript applet. http://www.try2hack.nl/ is a pretty good site for newbies, I just started and got to level 6, no sweat. Anyhow I find these sites a good (FREE) way to have fun. If anyone wants to brag about thier skills, I'd welcome sombody to compete with

Peetster · 05-29-2003, 03:48 PM

Yotta, I just started today, thanks for the link! I've completed 9 challenges in about three hours.

Aeos · 05-29-2003, 07:35 PM

try2hack.nl as i last recall only goes up to lvl 13.. havent done that in so long of a time.. But yus its a great area for n00bs to learn, starts out easy , then gets into some stuff that you need to explore for, covers alot of the basics, really nice and its free.

This you? You're doing pretty well

Antagony · 05-30-2003, 12:14 PM

I don't have much to do this weekend, so maybe I'll check this stuff out.

jujueye · 05-30-2003, 12:28 PM

yotta - I'll kill you! I just casually browsed out to try2hack and am stuck on a level now, but I can't stop fiddling with it! Damn! This is lots of fun, and in spite of all the negative publicity hacking gets, it really is educational. Thanks for the link.

happymaan · 05-30-2003, 05:14 PM

Wow, try2hack.nl is really fun...but I suck at it....anyone mind giving me a hint (not an answer) to level 2. I'm no hacker, but I'm having fun trying.

Is that the one with the Flash login?

Ever open up a JPEG or an EXE in a text editor? Remember how crappy it all looked?

TerresqueÜ · 05-30-2003, 06:37 PM

Wow yotta you donated a whole five Euros! I'm JK, im gunna check this out.

dim5 · 05-30-2003, 07:38 PM

Looks like an interesting concept. I saw the thread title and I instantly thought of Nethack. Has anyone else here made an attempt for the Amulet of Yendor?

Yup. That's me. I'd ask you for hints, but then I wouldn't learn. Got the first crypto one today, it was pretty cool.
:-)))

twister002 · 05-31-2003, 05:52 AM

I'm on the first Javascript prompt one, haven't had time to go back and work on it more.

Silverbrain · 06-01-2003, 07:12 PM

I trying the HackQuest.de place, so far up to Javascript 7. Others Ive tried, just feel like im missing something, enjoying it alot though!

Just tried the cracking one, found a decompiler, opened it up and just went hmmmmmmm for a couple minutes. Im sure this is all easy once you know what your looking for )

Peetster · 06-01-2003, 07:23 PM

Every one I've gotten has been an "of course!" moment. Best link yet.

yotta · 06-02-2003, 12:50 AM

BTW, One of the things I like about hackquest is you can do challenges in any order.

Dim5: I've played nethack a bit. I don't know anybody that hasn't gotten the amulet without cheating.

Peetster: If you haven't noticed, the challange titles are hints.

I did 'Linux 1' from hackquest friday morning before work. That was fun

Also, check out http://hackergames.net/ , there's a bunch of challange sites there.

Peetster · 06-03-2003, 07:44 PM

The challange titles are the best source ever. Especially if you look at them literally. I'm about to get my first jewel in the javascript section.

0987 · 06-04-2003, 11:22 AM

Played uplink... got bored... went back to first person shooters..

mykockle · 06-04-2003, 12:16 PM

i might just have to take a look at this later

evolart@hotmail · 01-13-2008, 10:18 PM

I've been playing Hack Wars lately it's an online hacking game that is free to play. It's currently in beta and it's a ton of fun hacking other players and stealing their money and overwriting their scripts. Everyone is really cool and friendly even while they are hacking the hell out of you =)

Check it out at www.hackwars.net

biznatch · 01-14-2008, 12:23 AM

is try2hack actually down? This is what's displayed: "Try2hack will be back soon!"
Or is this part of the challenge?
