🛠️ Note: This update is still in development and hasn’t been released yet. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming in HackHub!

Hello Hackers! We are back with a major update bringing significant fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and new features to the core gameplay experience.

💻 System & Tool Updates

• Command Renaming: The ipconfig command has been renamed to ifconfig.

• Metasploit Enhancements:

  • New Exploit: Added the new exploit: exploit/multi/fileformat/office_word_macro.

  • Payload System: Metasploit now supports a dedicated payload system. Certain exploits can now take a payload as an option.

  • Initial Payload: The first payload, bearos/meterpreter/reverse_tcp, has been added. This payload allows you to establish a connection to your target's system via a reverse TCP connection after a successful phishing attempt. Note: The specified LPORT value must be defined on your current network ports.

• Phishing Template: A new "Event Ticket" phishing email template has been added. Victims who open the harmful software sent through this email will randomly (or fully configured) trigger a reverse TCP connection back to you.

• Browser Update: The tab structure in the Firebear Browser has been updated to align with modern operating system tab layouts, and its behavior has been adjusted accordingly.

• Sqlmap Fixes: Various error fixes have been implemented for the sqlmap command.

• Apt-Get Command Update: The terminal command content for objectives requiring an apt-get installation has been updated. Example: Python3 installation - Old: "apt-get install" New: "apt-get install python3"

• Networking Tool Synergy: Logic for the Kimai and Wireshark tools has been added to the game, allowing for data theft from cookie-based websites. Initially, this works for firewall login credentials.

• WIFI Cracking Improvement: The modem model number will now appear 100% of the time in the modem interface of all connected Wi-Fi networks, enabling the use of the Fern tool to crack the interface password.

✨ Quality of Life & UI Improvements

• New Terminal Autocomplete System: The terminal's autocomplete mechanism has been replaced with a structure similar to real-world operating systems. For example, navigating to /home/user/desktop/files can now be completed by typing "ho" and pressing tab (to complete to "home") and then "/home/u" and pressing tab (to complete to "/home/user").

• Terminal Prompt Style: The default terminal prompt style has been changed from "Modern" to "Default."

• File Explorer: File listing and drag operations have been changed, and the File Explorer now uses a new list view.

• Goagle Mail Updates:

  • Improvements have been made to Dark Mode in Goagle Mail.

  • Pasting copied text as a reply in Goagle Mail now removes all unnecessary spaces. This fixes instances where a mission was incorrectly marked as incomplete despite the correct text being sent.

• Handbook Search: Search functionality has been added to the Handbook, allowing for detailed searching of categories and resources.

• Twotter Updates: The Twotter icon has been renewed, and the ability to add images to posts has been enabled.

• UI/Optimization: General UI improvements and optimizations have been made.

🕹️ Mission & Story Fixes

• Story Completion: The story missions are now complete, and player choices have been added to the game. The final missions will change based on the selections you make.

• "The Journalist's Sister" Questline: Numerous bugs in The Journalist's Sister quest series have been fixed. The connection and target company discovery between Part 7 and Part 8 have been changed.

• Objective Logic Fixes:

  • Bugs in the objectives for the Database Theft mission have been corrected.

  • Objectives that required prior objectives to be completed but could be finished out of order are now correctly restricted: they will only appear and be completable if the preceding objective is finished.

• Minigame Bug Fix: Fixed a bug where the minigame would continue for a short period after the timer had run out.

• Typing Minigame: 10 additional code blocks have been added to the Typing mini-game.

• Sound Fix: The main menu sound problem has been corrected.

• IP Request Fix: Fixed a bug where requests sent over an IP address were being blocked via the router IP address.

• Blocked Page: A "You have been blocked" page has been added. You will now encounter this page when trying to access a blocked address in the browser.
