Degrees

I can't figure out what to do on the missions to give someone a first class degree. What do you do?

  • Connect to the International Academic Database , using a number of bounces.

  • Use the password cracker to hack into the site. I normally transfer all my RAM to the cracker and ignore the Trace, but you get soo long in the IAD it doesn't really matter

  • Search for the Name of the guy you want to change

  • He should have a graduate qualification of Class 2 or 3. Change it to a Class 1 (i.e. just delete the '3' and type '1'

  • Log out, deleting your logs or whatever you want to do...

As a good tip, take on multiple jobs that have ou going into the academic database. Since the trace there is so long, do multiple jobs at once. Lots of money!

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

Actually, I've noticed that the trace at the Academic Database is usually the shortest of all the places I hack into, except for the Social Security DB.

Eh? I usually get 1200 seconds, rather than 300 or 200.

I didn't count, but that sounds more like my experience, too. Even when all I did was bounce through a half-dozen anonymous links.

I think I've gotten as high as 1400-1500 seconds, depending on what admin accounts I've had left-over.

If anyone feels I have too many links in my sig, please make a website about it and I will link to it in my sig.

I don't know what I was thinking, because every time I crack into now, I get 180 seconds. How did you get up to 1500 seconds, by the way?

You go through every server on Earth (well, for probably 2000+ you do). šŸ˜‰

Yeah, I found a bunch of links from the different places I hacked into and got my trace time up to 1030 seconds.

You do know that you can get links to most of the systems in the game from browsing InterNIC's database, don't you?

I managed to get 1800+ seconds when I was hacking into the IAD, as I think they have a very slow trace. I needed about 30 of it though, so it was a bit of a waste of time all that mouse clicking...

Yeah, when I hack a server that I know won't trace very quickly, I tend to only do a few bounces, usually just through my main bunch, and a few others I have accounts on. Whether that's laziness or good planning, I'll leave it for you to decide ;).

I have to create a degree for a guy called Benjamin Bennet but whenever I enter his name and start the search it just zooms through all the names untill the very end, then stops. What am I doing wrong? Please help! :frown:

I think so, yes. SHould I put a space after the "Enter Name Here" text or not? Should there be a space between his names (Benjamin and Bennet)? Should I use capitals or lowercase? šŸ˜• I'm sure I've copied it out exactly as I got it... :frown:
