Review + Bugs
Hello,

if you take a shot at playing this extension, be ready for:

- not completable gameplay (as of November 2020)
- english in bad to ok form, with a high variance (multiple authors?)
- many(!) typing errors in the early parts (at least 2x times relevant for the mission goal)
- an almost non-existent story. ~150 nodes to hack but many feel kinda random. Hack one node, scan, get next node, etc. until target node.
- the last mission before credits is nothing special
- some parts feel like once separate extensions or story lines where merged for this extension. e.g. the microsoft nodes (~10) require an increasing amount of port hack tools and each node gives you the tool required for the next node. Only ... you already have all the needed tools at this point from earlier missions?
- many IPs in a strange wrong format

For the extension author:

The extension can not be completed in it's current state AFAIK.

The "Discord Data" ( 196.616.643 ) node is not hackable in it's current state. The SSH port is possible by launching the tool and dc'ing. But Porthack can't complete with such a short trace time. And there is no "in-game" hints anywhere on the credentials for that node. Even if you could complete that node you soon after stumble over other non completable content.

The "Jason Work" ( 549.146.999 ) node has some RAM content that can be dumped. But the game doesn't give you the needed "MemForensics.exe" anywhere to read out the contents.

Even if you had the MemForensics.exe you would get stuck immediately again, as the IP from the mem dump ( 135.643.123 ) is supposed to lead you to the "Discord Mac users" node but that doesn’t work as an earlier node in the game "Michael Miller Computer Work" also has the same IP and thus you are stuck again.

The “Hardware apple” node ( 128.99.12359 ) is also unhackable (inviolability) and doesn’t not have the password set to arduino as the mail in Steve Jobs mail account suggests.

The Apple node ( 6812.64670.64 ) is also unhackable. It needs 10 open ports for Porthack but only 9 are available. The admin password is not discoverable “in-game”.

What’s up with that disturbing track for the "deep web" mission?

And btw. the facebook mission where you need to replace "faceandbody" with "facebook" has 2 bugs.

1) The mission can be immediately completed by just replying to the mail without doing anything, as the goal keyword is already contained in the target index.html
2) The target index.html doesn’t even contain "faceandbody" but instead it reads "faceandnose"
