Playing tips Here are a few tips for playing Uplink.
Advice for buying software and hardware
- When buying Software, only buy the highest version. If you can't afford the highest, do a couple more jobs until you can. This way you will save your self the trouble and money of upgrading later on. This is especially important with LAN software, as LAN security varies slightly, and there is no guarantee that v1 software will work on even the simplest of LANs.
- If you can afford it, buy the Proxy and Firewall Bypass instead of Disable. It may be more expensive, but it will make your life a lot easier.
Hacking Tips
- Don't bother with the Dictionary Hacker; it is a waste of time. Stick with the Password Breaker.
- If you have to use a Proxy/Firewall disabler, start it before doing anything else. Wait for the trace to start before proceeding. That way you won't be waiting for it to finish while your clock ticks down and you are in the system.
- Don't waste time while doing a job. Anything else you have to do can wait until a job is finished.
- Always clear your logs as soon as you have done the mission. If you leave them, you will likely forget and be caught.
- ALWAYS keep an eye on your Trace Tracker when doing a job.
