Guide to PortSign

The Demo Tutorial
It may be useful to print this tutorial so it is easily accessible.

Welcome to the PortSign Tutorial for the Demo!

This guide will show you a basic way to crack into a computer server, and allow you to become more familiar with the PortSign interface.

PortSign is a virtual internet...
Just like on the Internet, there are many thousands of computer servers, vulnerable to attacks from hackers.

PortSign features OVER 20,000 servers on its virtual network,
with new ones coming and going all the time!

Three specific servers in PortSign have been set aside, which are only accessible in the demo version. These are to help you learn some of the basics.

These numbers are called IP address, and represent the location of a
target computer in PortSign.

Just like the place you live has an address in the world,
so do computers have an address on a network, called an IP address.

Let's look at cracking into this server first: 1.2.135

To gain access to this server, we need it's password.

There are several ways to get, reset, and change server passwords in PortSign, however in the demo version only one tool is available for this purpose - the basic password cracking tool.

On the menu, click on the item "Pass Cracker". You will see this window appear.



In the text box, enter the IP address of your target server. In this example, we are going to use 1.2.135 as our target. Enter "1.2.135" into the IP address box and click the Start button, as shown below.



Within a couple of minutes (possibly a little more), the Password Cracker tool should announce that the Password has been cracked. The password will be shown on the screen.

To allow you to crack the password yourself, it will not be shown in this tutorial.

Once you have the password, note it down somewhere, and click on the X to close
the Pass Cracker tool.

On a most basic level,
The process of cracking into a server involves

1) Finding the targets server IP address
2) Using a tool to gain access to the target server password
3) Connecting to the server

As we already have the server password, we can now move on and connect to the server.

Click on the larget CONNECT button at the top of the menu.
You should see the following window appear.



Enter the IP address of the target server in the box.

Like last time, it is 1.2.135

Click the Connect button (or press the enter key).
This is where you enter the server password. Type it in and hit enter.



At this point, you may notice that the Risk Factor % (Shown Below), is slowly getting higher.
If this gets to high, like above 45%, you should disconnect from the server and then
reconnect, or you are at risk of being caught hacking, and you may be fined.



Back to the connect window, if all went well, you should see a whole lot of interesting functions which can be performed on the server.



You can explore all of these yourself later, but in this tutorial, we are just going to take the money and run. (Hopefully before they trace you). Click the button labelled "Transfer Funds".



At this point, click the "Transfer" button to confirm who you are transferring the server money to, and how much you are transferring. (Both these options can only be changed by players with full PortSign accounts.



If you like, and if there are any files, download them and quickly click the Disconnect button before you are caught.


Congratulations..!
You have just stolen money from your first server.

To help you become familiar with this, try using the same method
to crack into the two other demo servers. Their network addresses are shown below.

Too easy? Just wait until you unlock the Key Code tools.

Most servers in PortSign are not vulnerable to the Password Cracking tool,
and other advanced tools are required to gain any kind of remote access.


Unlock Everything!
Many targets cannot be hacked without using the advanced tools which are only available through Systems II, to players with the full version of PortSign.
