Destroy a Computer System
Missions Descriptions:
Elite agent required for destruction of computer system

Ranking: Skilled
Difficulty Rating: 6
Required Software: Password Breaker, Voice Analyser, Proxy Bypass/Disable v5, Firewall Bypass/Disable v5

First, go to InterNIC, and look for the Public Access Server of the Target Company. Add this server to your links, and also add the phone number of the system administrator. Connect to the Administrators Voice Phone system, and start the Voice Analyser. Wait till the call has finished and the voice has been recorded, and then disconnect. DO NOT CLOSE THE VOICE ANALYSYER. Now, connect to the Central Mainframe, making sure that the bounce point just before the Target computer is the Public Access server for that company. Use your Bypassers/Disablers on the Proxy and Firewall, and then enter the 'Voice Print Identification' section. Press the play button on the Voice Analyser, and wait for the button to turn green, and then click on it. Enter the Password screen and break the password. Once you are inside the system, enter the console. Open the usr directory (type 'cd usr') then type 'delete'. After that, close the usr directory (type 'cd ..') open the sys directory (type 'cd sys') then 'delete' again. Once this is finished, you can type 'shutdown' and disconnect from the system. Clear your logs, the go to the Uplink News page, and wait for news that the companies system has been destroyed. Once this appears, you can reply to the mail and finish the mission.

NOTES: When typing in the console commands, you don't have to wait for the current action to finish before typing the next one, as the console will remember what you have typed, and complete the actions in order.

Trace a Hacker
Mission Descriptions:
Trace a hacker who recently broke into our systems
Trace an unauthorized money transfer

Ranking: Experienced
Difficulty Rating: 7
Required Software: Password Breaker, Decypher v3, Voice Analyser, Log Un-Deleter, Proxy Bypass/Disable v5, Firewall Bypass/Disable v5
Other Requirements: Something to note down IP's

To start with, you will need to break into the computer of the company that hired you, as they do not give you sufficient access to view the logs. Once you are into the system you are told in the mission statement, enter the Logs. On the email, there will be a date and time that the hack occurred. This isn't the actual time, this is the time they first noticed it. Look though the logs, and look for the one with the closest date BEFORE the one you are given. This will be the log you need to trace. Use the Log UnDeleter on that log, note down the IP and the time/date of the log, and disconnect. Enter the IP you noted down into the IP Lookup to add it to your links. Now break into that system, enter the logs, and look for a log that has the same date as the one you noted down (It should be a bounce log). Use the Log UnDeleter on that log, and note down the FIRST IP on the bounce log (the 'From' IP). Disconnect from the system, and repeat this process until you get to a Personal Computer. Reply to the mail, adding the name of the person who owns the computer to the mail.

NOTES: If you take one of these missions, make sure it isn't more than a couple of hours old, by checking the date it was posted. If the mission is too old, it will be impossible, because the hacker will have gone back and totally removed his logs.
Make sure you delete your logs between every connection. Do not leave all the logs until you have finished the mission as you maybe passive traced before you are finished.
If the Log points to a bank (or it is an Unauthorized Money transfer mission, which starts at the bank) make sure you hack the admin section and not someone's account. The logs you need cannot be found in an account.

Money Transfer
Mission Descriptions:
Our Esteemed colleague wishes to make a donation

Ranking: Experienced
Difficulty Rating: 7 - 8
Required Software: Password Breaker, Proxy Bypass/Disable v5, Firewall Bypass/Disable v5
Recommended Software: Monitor Bypass v5

Connect to the bank told to you in the mission statement. Disable/Bypass the Proxy and Firewall, and the monitor if you can, and break into the account with the Password Breaker, using the account number you were given as the User name. Once you are into the account, enter the 'Transfer Money' section. Type in the Bank IP and account number, and then the amount of money, in the relevant boxes, and once you are sure all the numbers are correct, hit the 'Transfer' button. Reply to the email after you have transferred the money. Despite what the mail says, you don't have to delete the statements, but don't forget to clear your own logs!

IMPORTANT: You must reply to the mail before you delete the transfer logs, or your employer will say you haven't transferred the money.

Ruin Life
Mission Descriptions:
Highly skilled agent required for removal job

Ranking: Knowledgeable
Difficulty Rating: 8
Required Software: Password Breaker, Proxy Bypass/Proxy Disable v1.0, Decypher

Connect to the GCD, and break in as you did in previous missions. Enter the search section, and type the targets name into the search box. When his record comes up, you will need to add 2 criminal convictions (It doesn't matter what, you can have them arrested for anything). Once you have added 2 things, add something with the word 'Parole' in it (i.e. 'Broke Parole'). Once that is done, click the 'Authorise Arrest' button, close the box that pops up, and disconnect from the GCD. Clear your logs, then go to the Uplink News page, and fast forward 3 hours, until the Arrest appears. Once it has, reply to the mail and finish the mission.

NOTES: This mission is really easy, and it is possible to do a large number of them at once. If you want, you can take a group of these missions, and do them all in one connection to the GCD.

Frame a user for computer crimes

Ranking: Uber-Skilled
Difficulty Rating: 9 - 10
Required Software: Password Breaker, Proxy Bypass/Proxy Disable v1.0, Decypher

Connect to the GCD, and break in as you did in previous missions. Enter the search section, and type the targets name into the search box. When his record comes up, you will need to add 2 criminal convictions (It doesn't matter what, you can have them arrested for anything). Once you have added 2 things, add something with the word 'Parole' in it (i.e. 'Broke Parole').

Frame a person for Bank Fraud
Mission Descriptions:
Frame a man for bank fraud

Ranking: Uber-Skilled
Difficulty Rating: 9 - 10
Required Software: Password Breaker, Log Modifier

Connect to the Bank specified in the mission statement, using only 3 or 4 bounces. If you use too many, the mission won't work. WITHOUT bypassing the security, attempt to break the password on the Banks Admin section. When the trace has started, disconnect from the bank after a few seconds.
Now connect to your first bounce point (InterNIC hopefully), break into the admin account and access the logs. Look for your bounce log from the last connection (It should be the third one from the top) and use the Log Modifier on it. Change the log so that the 'From' IP is the one given to you in the mission statement (i.e. Change 127.0.0.1 to whatever IP you have been given). Delete the 'Admin Access' log, and disconnect. Go to the Uplink News page, and fast forward, until news that the target has been arrested for hacking the Bank appears. Once it does, you can reply to the mail and finish the mission.

Frame person for Data Destruction
Mission Descriptions:
Frame a user for destruction of data

Ranking: Uber-Skilled
Difficulty Rating: 9 - 10
Required Software: Password Breaker, Log Modifier, Proxy Bypass/Disable v5, Firewall Bypass/Disable v5, Monitor Bypass v5 (Voice Analyser, Decypher, depending on the security of the system)

Connect to the system given to you in the mission statement. You must only use 3 or 4 bounce points on this mission. If the trace is too long, the mission won't work (you need the trace to be about 25 seconds). Bypass the Proxy, Firewall and Monitor, and then crack the password. After this, you must act quickly. Enter the console, open the usr directory, and delete the contents (type 'cd usr' then 'delete'). As soon as this is finished, disconnect from the system, and quickly go to your first bounce point (InterNIC hopefully) and break into the Admin account. Look for your bounce log from the last connection (It should be the third one from the top) and use the Log Modifier on it. Change the log so that the 'From' IP is the one given to you in the mission statement (i.e. Change 127.0.0.1 to whatever IP you have been given). Delete the 'Admin Access' log, and disconnect. Go to the Uplink News page, and fast forward, until news that the target has been arrested for hacking the company's system. Once it does, reply to the mail and finish the mission.

NOTES: You will only get a couple of tries at this before it stops appearing in the news and the mission becomes impossible, so make sure you get it right the first time.
