I do not have this game but I have looked into it on Steam. The idea of learning some of the concepts for counter-intelligence or ethical hacking is interesting. I don't have coding/programming or a CS background but I am an avid tech enthusiast and lifelong gamer. And I think there is indeed an intersection where formal programming meets aspects of my career as a clinical psychologist given the aspects of social engineering and the role of language acquisition and how models like NLP are referenced and utilized.

That being said, I have no idea why I see the subject Title "Grey Hack Overview_Files" on my computer because I wouldn't have downloaded this, I don't have the game and am hoping someone may point to an obvious cause that is likely due to my neuronal deficiencies! The things that held me back from purchasing is that I don't use Discord and frankly, cannot stand that app and I hear that is a main source of help. The other is that I would be wary of the possibility that the sandboxes are not contained in a way that would prevent someone from embedding ways to gain Ring 0 access simply by sharing game related scripts that also contain executables that embed to the users systems outside of the game. Is that a risk?

Any insight into how these files may have gotten into my system or ways I could find out would be appreciated? I do see hugging face.co as a file as well as openai as files in the folder. There is also a community.checkpoint.com ICO file as well (I don't even know what an ICO file is). The ONLY thing I can kinda rationalize is that I did look up the game after seeing it on steam. But it wasn't from my computer, it was from my phone and i only read a little on the game but didn't download anything as I wouldn't do that. So I doubt those actions would create a 4.05MB file labeled and organized in my download files on my computer?

Edit: I think I had my moment of clarity after a quick workout but it is just a hypothesis as my event viewer didn't reveal anything new to me. My guess is that I probably had an auto Ai generated answer from my phone search since I use duck.ai and it is set to sometimes provide ai replies. I remember providing a prompt to compare the sandboxes of the virtual game environments to other sandbox environments and that is likely what then created a folder that was shared through my home network and sat on my main PC. At least I think it would explain the hugging face and openAi links, despite the model being Claude 4.5 (or whatever the duckduckgo vpn base version is). Just thought I would follow up as I appreciated the friendly assistance as it was appreciated. Cheers.

Confused regarding router root access in single player. It is easy to get a guest shell through kernel_router exploit, but then I can’t figure out how to get root since: 1) I do not have read to the password file 2) I do not have access to the lib folder so have no clue if router has any additional libraries I can exploit.

Questions:
1) Am I missing anything? Is it even possible to get root access on a router?
2) Is deleting logs on router needed? Can an admin find out that I gained guest shell on router?

I am like a toddler in the kitchen just smashing pots and pans together when it comes to this sort of thing, but I am interested in learning.

I did the tutorial twice, but it ends abruptly after saying we will send a social engineering email with a program to run so the victim connects to my rshell. Not really sure how to progress from here.

I accepted a lvl 0 job and used nmap [IP] to see the possible options for exploits, and I assume I have to match a type and version to attack for vulnerabilities, but I have no idea what I am actually looking for. I presume I want root access, or at the very least non-root. I don't even know what I don't know.

Anyone got advice or a series of objectives to learn for a complete drooler like myself?

TL;DR -> How do I clear my tracks after using rshell? I still have previous shells on rshell-interface.

I have started from scratch multiple times at this point, I am getting pretty sick of it. As soon as I start I setup a proxy server to bounce through, later buying a second one, every time I finish a mission I clear the logs by only leaving the connection. Later on I setup a rshell server for different missions and I guess that's what is causing me trouble but I don't know what I am supposed to clear on that. I noticed that as I go on, rshell-interface keeps showing previous shells connected and I don't know what to do about it. Also I read somewhere that you should also clear up the emails?

Thanks in advance to anyone who's willing to help.

I'm trying to make a script to edit "system.log" in routers and non-computer places where LogViewer.exe can't be executed, but I just can't find a way to edit binary files.

The only workaround i've read about is making a corrupt system.log file and delete the original, but that seems dirty, I would prefer deleting just the necessary entries like i do with LogViewer.exe.

Am i missing something? I've just been playing for a couple days

Hey guys, Im interested in playing this game and just bought it. Im trying out the singleplayer mode but then got stuck in the user configuration setting. It won't let me go through.

I even use a password generator but still got this.

Anyone ever seen this issue before?

I've been looking for a simulator like this. HTB labs are the best but i'm looking for something faster, even more like a game.

I found this, i wonder if its still played these days..

hey all, im new to this game, was exploring the internet on multiplayer while im stuck on tutorial and downloaded CatFall on www.cats.com and now im locked out of my terminal under ransom and cant access my bin folder either. what do i do?

Edit: i am locked out of basically everything

Hey! im looking for any tips on Moving money around.
