How to Hack in?

How to Hack in? is a systems-driven hacking sandbox played through a simulated workstation. Each new game generates a world of people, companies, networks, websites, relationships, vulnerabilities and secrets. You investigate connections and combine what you learn to find ways into systems, whether by using personal details for social engineering, trying exposed credentials on company systems or compromising software used by other businesses.

Investigate people and networks

People in the world have personalities, relationships, routines and conflicts. You learn about them through social posts, files, transactions and other scattered information. The Profiler gathers discoveries into dossiers so you can map relationships, identify useful hooks and connect people to digital assets, finding opportunities that technical tools alone might miss.

You can collect information from websites, social media, email, files, network scans and personal dossiers. An operation can be technical, social, financial or a combination of all three.

Choose your approach

• Crack credentials and explore internal networks.
• Scan for vulnerable services and move between connected machines.
• Find and exploit vulnerabilities in websites and admin panels.
• Profile targets, uncover Weak and Strong hooks, and use phishing, vishing, pretexting, bribery or leverage.
• Route connections through compromised machines and clean up logs afterward.
• Build visual scripts to automate repeatable tasks.

Target companies

Companies have suppliers, clients, competitors, code repositories, products, infrastructure and economic health. You can compromise software they use to carry out supply-chain attacks. If an incident reaches the news, it can damage a company’s reputation and affect its stock price.

You can also rent remote servers, host websites, build command-and-control infrastructure and manage agents across compromised systems.

Use the simulated economy

Trade stocks and cryptocurrency, trace transactions and investigate scam operations—or take them over. An underground marketplace accessed through Tor lets you buy or sell intelligence, hooks and recovered artifacts. You decide what to do with the information you uncover: expose wrongdoing, help a victim, use evidence as leverage, manipulate stock prices or profit from a criminal operation.

Configure your workstation

Assign custom shortcuts to individual app windows, switch between floating and tiling modes, and save configurations of open apps to reload a preferred layout. Visual Scripting lets you build reusable workflows. The Skill Tree supports different playstyles, while your CPU, RAM and connectivity determine what your workstation can handle. Your money, tools and access determine which paths are available.

Learn the systems

You can start with a workstation tour and consult the searchable Wiki for quick reference. Guided Mode and Hackopilot offer more specific guidance, while interactive Academy lessons teach key systems through hands-on use.
