Hacking Interface

Initially, Psycho Patrol R’s hacking interface can appear overwhelming. However, breaking down the UI simplifies the process significantly:

Understanding Device Networks

The hacking screen shows a network of interconnected device names, each representing a device within your immediate environment. Examples include:

Intranet: Your own hacking terminal
Security Camera (e.g., 5Security Camera): Cameras and other hackable objects identified by numbers

How to Select Devices to Hack

Each device on the network has an assigned number. Use these numbers in the IP Address box to select and access specific devices. For instance, typing “5” accesses device number 5.

The CHAR, HEX, and VISUALISE Functions

Here’s what these buttons mean:

CHAR: Displays text characters (letters and symbols) used for passwords.
HEX: Shows hexadecimal codes corresponding to CHAR characters (useful for advanced hacking).
VISUALISE: Primarily aesthetic; limited practical use.

Additionally, use the +/- buttons to cycle through character combinations and find valid passwords.

Performing Actual Hacks

With a basic understanding of the interface, you’re ready to perform your first hack:

Enter the targeted device number (e.g., type “5” for “5Security Camera”) into the IP box.
Press CHAR to view potential password characters.
Cycle through combinations using the +/- buttons, focusing on recognizable words rather than random characters.
Identify full, logical passwords (e.g., “SOVEREIGN”) to unlock device access.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully hacked into your first device.
