I'm doing the missions where you have to trace a programmer who has been hacking into a particular company...
They gave me level 3 access but I dont understand the point? Surely I would need admin access so I can look at the logs no?

So I hack in but I can't see any log that is close to the time/date that the company said they were hacked.??

Ive not started with the LAN business yet... Is it to do with that??

Thanks!

Keep in mind that another hacker may be using a log deleter or log modifier. The timestamp of the hack is often correct, and you will begin tracing the bounces the other hacker used. Use IP Lookup to add those sites to your map.

You will, of course, be hacking into the systems on the bounce route, so don't neglect your own security measures while hunting down the other guy.

IIRC they don't give you any type of access. You indeed have to hack the admin account to look at the logs. As Nick said, use a Log_Undeleter (try doing it on the log just before the one with the time given in the email).

Yeah, they don't trust you with any real access, so you have to go ahead and get it by any means necessary :D.
