About This Game

Every system is a way in

How To Hack In? is a systems-driven hacking sandbox played through your own simulated workstation.

Each new game creates a world of people, companies, networks, websites, relationships, vulnerabilities, and secrets. What you find in one place can be useful somewhere else. That might mean using personal details for social engineering, trying exposed credentials against company systems, or compromising software used by other businesses.

Follow the connections, combine what you learn, and find your way in.

People are part of the network

NPCs have personalities, relationships, routines, and conflicts. Learn about them through social posts, files, transactions, and other information scattered across the world.

The Profiler brings those discoveries together into dossiers. Map relationships, identify useful hooks, connect people to digital assets, and use what you know to find opportunities that technical tools alone would miss.

Plan the operation your way

Gather information through websites, social media, email, files, network scans, and personal dossiers. Then 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 choose from phishing, vishing, pretexting, bribery, or leverage.

• Route connections through compromised machines and clean up logs when you are done.

• Build visual scripts to automate repeatable tasks.

An operation can be technical, social, financial, or a mix of all three.

Attack connected companies

Companies have suppliers, clients, competitors, code repositories, products, infrastructure, and economic health.

Compromise the software they use and carry out supply-chain attacks. If the incident reaches the news, it can damage the company's reputation and affect its stock price.

Rent remote servers, host websites, build command-and-control infrastructure, and manage agents across compromised systems.

Work across a simulated economy

Trade stocks and cryptocurrency, trace transactions, and investigate scam operations - or take them over yourself. Access an underground marketplace through Tor to buy or sell intelligence, hooks, and recovered artifacts.

Choose 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.

Build your hacking workstation

Assign custom shortcuts to individual app windows and switch between floating and tiling modes. Save configurations of open apps, then reload your preferred layout whenever you need it. Build reusable workflows with Visual Scripting.

Develop your preferred playstyle through the Skill Tree. Your CPU, RAM, and connectivity determine what your workstation can handle, while money, tools, and access determine which paths are open to you.

Learn at your own pace

Start with a tour of the workstation, use the searchable Wiki for quick reference, and turn to Guided Mode or Hackopilot when you need more specific guidance. Interactive Academy lessons teach key systems by letting you use them.
