Experience a truly authentic hacking simulation. Hacknet also provides a supportive learning environment which empowers newcomers to master fundamental concepts and commands commonly found in real-world cybersecurity practices. Become a true cybercriminal and protect cyberspace from evil forces.

Key Features of Hacknet

Real Hacking Experience: Based on actual UNIX commands, Hacknet delivers a genuine hacking experience, moving beyond Hollywood's exaggerated portrayals. Immerse yourself in authentic cyber warfare as you navigate firewalls and exploit system vulnerabilities.

Unlock the Mystery of Bit: A hacker is dead, and the media narrative doesn't add up. When contacted by his digital "ghost"—an automated failsafe system—you're drawn into the shadowy world of underground hackers and cybercrime.

Full Immersion: You are thrust into a persistent virtual world, without levels or overt game mechanics to disrupt the illusion. Follow Bit's guidance, or explore independently, uncovering clues and snippets of information across diverse systems. Become a true black hat hacker.

Accessible but Uncompromising: While demanding, Hacknet's design and learning curve allow players with no prior terminal experience to enjoy and master the core elements of real-world hacking.

Killer Soundtrack: Immerse yourself in a compelling gameplay with an electrifying soundtrack featuring underground artists like Carpenter Brut (Hotline Miami) and Remi Gallego (AKA The Algorithm).
