Bank Traces

Every time I try to hack a bank, I transfer the money, then I delete the transaction logs, and then delete the other logs aat InterNic, but they still cetch me. What do I need to do?

right, but three lefts do."

hmmm, did you use log deleter 4.0? Did you delete the logs at BOTH BANKS? Did you delete the logs in under a minute (yes, they can passive trace you that fast.) If you did that, then there is no way they could catch you.

If your trying to hack the Uplink bank they always catch you after a certian time you could totaly destroy all proof and they will still find out.

also make sure to send the money through many banks before your uplink account.

I don't think that's a good advice. I have hacked a bank account and deposited the money on my account in the same bank. I have deleted the transaction logs (v4), I have deleted the routing logs at InterNIC. They never traced me.

I think it is actually recommended to transfer the money to an account in the same bank as you can then delete the transaction logs very quickly and conveniently.

Also - don't know what changed, but now I am able to rob an account without even raising an active trace, so I have plenty of time doing everything.

Not necessary.

Ok, since the demand seems to be so great.. here's my guide to bank robbery, uplink style.

Suggested Software: log deleter v.4, monitor bypass v.5, proxy bypass v.5, HUD connection analysis

Take a trace balance transfer mission and do it, remembering the info on the account to.

Write down the uplink bank's ip and your account number.

For speed purposes, save a connection route to uplink's bank, using a large number of bounces.

Then make a long connection to the target bank.

Bypass the monitor, then the proxy.

Break into the target account.

Check the balance and write it down.

Hit transfer money, enter your info as well as a fat lump of cash to send to yourself. DON'T disconnect yet.

Enter the statement portion of the account, and delete the log of the money being sent to you.

Close the connection, kill your logs at interNIC. Fast.

Load up your connection to uplink's bank, connect.

Bypass the security, then log into your account.

Enter the statement section, delete the money received log.

Disconnect, delete logs at interNIC.

Now, if you did it right, you should get an email jumping you up a couple of ranks. If you get this, you're in the clear. Have fun with your new trinity!

That's the work of our good friends bypassers- if you have the monitor bypassed, they will never start an active trace unless you log into the admin account.

Ok I'm definitely not clear on this but could someone please clue me in.

I just downloaded the game and played for a few hours and the furthest I got was to as high as I could with the unregistered version.

As far as I can tell the only way to hack an account is to somehow get an account number, log onto the bank, bypass or disable the proxy and monitor, then use the password breaker to get the password to the account, then transfer money to your account at any bank, delete the logs on interinc severs afterwards and then go into the hacked account and your account again and delete the transfer money log, then once again delete the logs at interinc.

If this is the case then how do I get an account # and can it be done unregistered.

And what is the point then of hacking the admin account on a bank?

You can get an account number through one of the "Trace a Transfer" missions. When you find the account number where the money was transferred, write it down. You know it has a lot of money in it (usually over 1,000,000).

Set up ANOTHER account anywhere... it doesn't matter. Write down the IP / Acct. No.

Log into the bank (through several scure connections / InterNIC) where the account you want to hack is. Turn on your Connection Analyzer, Monitor Bypass, and Proxy Bypass. Type in the target account number and use the Password Breaker to crack the code. Once you're logged in, go to Transfer, type in the IP / Acct. No. of your OTHER account. Type in desired amount and click go. It should go through. Now, delete all record of the transaction from the Statement section using the Log Deleter 4.0. Log out and erase all connection details from InterNIC. Log into your OTHER bank account, check and make sure the money has arrived, and delete all details from the Statement section using Log Deleter 4.0. Make sure Proxy / Monitor Disable is on. Log out and delete all connection details from InterNIC. You should do this VERY FAST so they can't get a passive trace on you. Now, lay low for a few days to make sure they didn't trace you (I just FFed 2 days).

Now, pretty much the same process. Log into your OTHER bank account, bypass monitor / proxy, and transfer all money to your UPLINK account. Erase all transaction logs from Bank. Erase all connection logs from InterNIC. Connect to UPLINK bank account, bypass monitor / proxy, check to make sure the money is there, and delete the Transaction logs. Disconnect and delete InterNIC logs. Lay low for another few days to make yourself feel important.

That's it... you don't even need Admin access. Just make sure you back up your User file before you try just in case. With luck, you should now have 1,000,000 in your UPLINK account, so you can buy anything and everything you want.

------------------

Wow, thats all.

THank you, I'd think that those banks would have a firewall also, but hey everybody loves low budget. It's just that I'd think the designers would have made it harder to get hordes of money.

One question remains however, which is just more of a curiosity- Then what is the point of hacking the admin access of a bank?

The point of hacking the Admin of a bank is that you can get a list of every account number and password. Hehe. I use this method, as it means that when I access the persons account, I don't use password breaker and don't get actively traced.

However, hacking the admin takes a while. You need a massive bounce (to get enough time), and you need to have the admin's voice, a decypher AND a password breaker.

It can be done in the unregistered version, though. I managed it in the 40 minute demo!

oohhh all the passwords. twitch

So all I would have to do is then delete the money transfer logs right.

just hack one account get the money then buy the stuff and hack admin.
It'll be just like buying money for free!!! 😄 😄

When I need more time for something I just go to interNIC and add all of thier links to my map then connect to allllllllllllllllll of them.

Super congradulations on getting that far in 40 minutes by the way

I can hack an admin on a bank system without raising a trace. I can stay and do all I want how long I want. It wasn't always like this, even though I was using the same SW tools (only my processor speed was 900MHz, now it's 1600MHz). I think that as you progress through the game and your ranking is higher, the game somehow simmulates that you are more proficient in your hacks and make them work better. That's the only explanation I can come up with.

This I did with 3 banks - all the time with same results:

  • connected, applied all v5 bypassers, clicked administration
  • hacked the password, hacked the ecliptic cipher, hacked the voice auth
  • entered the admin account, took as long as I needed to copy all the account numbers
  • closed the administration (without disconnecting from server) and sequentially password cracked all the account numbers I copied.

All this without being actively or passively traced - not even once!

Now I own access to all accounts in these 3 banks. I get missions to inspect transactions on accounts which I have inspected long ago. 🙂

------------------

Alright, I have a problem with banks.

I know how to hack one, I have stolen about 10 mil total for my users (I usually just dont spend it, makes it too easy)..Alright, I entered one of the storylines, so I decided to use the money I stole. I logged on to the bank, transfered the money to my uplink account, and started spending. The only problem is, the money isnt being taken away from my uplink account, its being taken away from the one I transferred the money from! Any way to change this?

Yeah....if your about to buy something, click on the money symbol to bring up your accounts. The account highlited is the one that money will come out of. So make sure you click once on your uplink account to have it take it out of there. Make sure you don't double click cause then it'll dial it up for ya.
