Cool Game: Lost (for the l337 hAx0R in all of us)

[GasX]

Lost

What is it? It's a web based hacking simulation game. It looks pretty cool, but I haven't played enough to see how fun it is yet.

 

[bunker]

Pretty damn confusing at first. I'm doing my first mission and it takes two real life hours :|.

I can't see myself playing this for too long.

 

[GasX]

Yeah - It seems to very slow, although not slow in the insufferable Nation States sense of the word...

Im Lost

 

[Atlantean]

I am not sure I get it

 

[KingNothing]

I don't get it either, how do you do a mission?

 

[GasX]

Once you join you have to set up your computer, download software and start accepting missions....

 

[bunker]

You just accept the mission, then wait 2-2 1/2 hours for it to complete on its own.

First you have to go into management and set up your computer. Then go to Internet and hit the warez shop for some software. Check the mission server and look at the missions to see what software is necessary for the mission.

 

[bunker]

Don't we have a member named iamwiz here? There's someone with the same name doing the same mission as me right now.

 

[GasX]

Maybe it's time for an AT cell

I didn't get an answer to this on the DC thread, so I'll pose the question to you guys as well.

If this simulation is so realistic, couldn't the guy running this forward all hacking attempts to any server he wanted to hack?

 

[bunker]

There's no actual hacking going on. It's just his program that takes in the variables (your equipment, software, experience etc...) and spits out a result based on some template he's developed.

So....no.

 

[GasX]

This game teaches you hacking the way Diablo2 teaches you to fight with a sword - It doesn't.

Still fun though.

They are in the process of fine tuning the game and everyone is getting reset. The game goes back online tomorrow.

They did a complete reset and reopened today. (The game is in beta).

Join now and you will still be level one along with everyone else.

note : YOU DO NOT DO ANY REAL HACKING IT IS ALL SIMULATED>

have fun...

I sent a request to him last night, I'm still waiting, but in my mission log it says [ATOT]yomicron, so...I've kinda joined.

 

[TuxDave]

Where's the ATOT cell leader? I want in!

Sent a request to the "Anandtech" cell.
