Open World - Early Access and more!!!

Patrick Greatbatch (co-author of The Black Watchmen) is back with a new set of open-world missions starting in October! Open-world missions blend in-game investigation with real world research involving websites, emails, phone numbers, etc. to increase the level of immersion and realism.

The first set of missions takes the player into the inner workings of a secretive government organization, private prisons and deep-rooted political corruption. The investigation is ripped from the headlines and explores complex problems facing real world governments today.



October 2nd will be our official Early Access kickoff party at SecTor 2018! The event will be streamed online on our NT4 Twitch Channel. If you are in the Toronto Area, let us know- we have a couple of VIP Tickets for you!

With the release of Early Access comes a set of new rewards! NT4 Hoodies, Military Backpacks, Trench Coats and The Park (Steam Key). To celebrate the event we have created 3 new NT4 Skin for each of the Secret World Legends factions: Illuminati, Dragon and Templar.

These new skins will be automatically given to anyone who owns Secret World Legends in their Steam library.



The new academy is live and will have more than 25 missions. Basic Terminal Operations is accessible right now and will be followed by Digital Forensics next week. Each training exercise is fully voice acted with Sergeant Catherine Wheeler and Security Analyst Dylan.

Also, the team started working on a new module called Blackhound. The module combines existing tools like Cobalt Strike and Bloodhound to focus on privilege escalation and pivoting. You can learn more about Bloodhound here >>



Cheers!

Hi everyone! We are excited to show you some of our ongoing work on the Academy, the training and tutorial center of NT4.



The Academy will include 5 certifications and 15 training missions at launch. These will teach you about the various tools and techniques featured in Stinger OS. Certification topics include:

• Network Intrusion
  
• Open Source Intelligence
  
• Social Engineering
  
• Data Forensics
  
• Advanced Attack Vectors
  
• And many more...

The goal of the certification center is to give you everything you need to know to master all of your hacking modules, attack strategies, and features of the Stinger OS. (Workspaces, multithreading, advanced terminal commands, etc…)



You will be able to earn three levels of mastery for each certification. (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) These levels are based on the speed and precision of your attack. For example, to identify potential entry points on an external network, OSINTSCAN should always be your first source for information gathering, since it is less noticeable than a SFUZZER dictionary attack on a DNS server.

Next week, we will introduce our new Social Engineering Toolkit for mass mailing and spear phishing a target network.

Version 0.10.6 is now available! Here's what to expect.

• New mission: Operation Dragon Scale: Chapter 3
  
• New tool: Audio Forensics
  
• New feature: Quick Link to Turbine C2

Analyze audio to quickly highlight key information.

Clicking your current remote address (on the top right of your screen) will now direct you to the Turbine C2 registry.

• Fixed a problem that prevented scroll bars from appearing in certain display configurations
  
• Fixed a problem which would cause mission progression in ODS Chapter 1 when a player had not yet completed the objective
  
• CID Backdoor windows that are playing audio can no longer be closed prematurely
  
• Minor text fixes
  
• Video optimizations

We are excited to announce the release of a new public demo for NT4. This preview includes the new mission center, xkeyscore data forensics and the ability to play in co-op multiplayer.

Only one mission can be played in the demo. If you want to try more tools and features, you are welcome to pre-order and join the closed beta!

Please report any and all issues with the new release in our Technical Support thread!

Bug fixes, UI upgrades, and a new addition to the multiplayer experience!

We’ve updated the way that XKEYSCORE documents are saved, so they should be higher resolution and better optimized. ZOOM, ENHANCE!

You now have the ability to communicate over voice with your teammates while connected to a shared server! In this release, voice chat automatically starts when you’ve connected to a server.
This is the first release of this feature, and we’re anticipating that some players might run into trouble with it. Please report any and all issues with the new release in our Technical Support thread on the forums!



We’ve updated a bit of the UI having to do with multiplayer and customization. Everything should look and feel a little more cohesive!



Our development team has been hard at work chasing down bugs and optimizing the game’s code. Hopefully this will result in an overall more pleasant gameplay experience for you all!

In this release we've added a few new things that we're excited to share.

Player Avatar

You can now upload an avatar to represent yourself in NITE Team 4. You can also select which of your available titles you'd like to display with your avatar.

News Stream Live

We've implemented the much beloved News Stream Live mission from our Alpha client into the beta client as "Operation Dragon Scale". Play or replay it now!

XKEYSCORE Document Update

We've added a context menu for files uncovered in the XKEYSCORE module, so you can more easily open them in a new window or add them to your active case file.

We didn't do an official set of patch notes for 0.10.1, but there were some pretty big changes. First, we made some big adjustments to the UI that we hope you will all find intuitive and satisfying. But more excitingly, NITE Team 4 is now multiplayer. You can hear Anashel discussing the changes from our previous patch and see him showcase some of these functionalities in this announcement video!

Next week, we're aiming to add News Stream Live parts 2 and 3 into the beta client, as well as a voice chat function.

For the end of April we hope to be able to include three new modules:

• Email phishing attacks
  
• Active Directory support
  
• Hash interception and password bruteforcing for credential escalation

As always, thank you all so much for your continued support and enthusiasm!
