Introduction

Hi.
...
Welcome to my guide on how to get every achievement in Hacknet!
So, I've listed it in an orderly fashion, so you can just go to whatever achievement you want.
This is listed from most completed to least completed.

Entropy

Be granted an account within Entropy
---

  1. Hack into Entropy test Server
  2. scp Entropy_Induction_Test
  3. Hack into Slash-Bot News Network
    Now you have a choice.
  4. rm config.sys
    OR
  5. mv config.sys "WHATEVER_YOU_WANT"
    Either way, you only need to mess with the file "config.sys" in the MsgBoard folder.

Now reply to the email "Confirmation Mission" and you should get the achievement.
If you haven't gained it, just continue through the story.
That's it.

CSEC

Be granted an account within CSEC
---
This doesn't matter if you went through Entropy or /el/.

  1. Hack into www.cfc.com
  2. There's nothing there! Scan.
  3. Hack into CFC Corporate Mainframe
  4. There's nothing stating the 11 Secret Herbs and Spices! Scan.
  5. Hack into CFC Record Repository
  6. scp Seasoning_Order_Placement_Template_Pt1.docx and Seasoning_Order_Placement_Template_Pt2.docx
  7. Upload those 2 files in the CSEC Drop Server

You should get this achievement after that. If you don't keep playing through the story. You should get it.

Makeover!

Run ThemeSwitcher.exe
---
After joining CSEC, you'll get an email stating that the asset server now has a program called "ThemeSwitcher.exe"

  1. Connect to the CSEC Asset Server
  2. scp ThemeSwitcher.exe
  3. Run ThemeSwitcher by using the command "ThemeSwitcher" :P

To the Wire

Disconnect from a traced system with less than half a second to spare

This one is easier than it looks.

  1. Connect to any system with a trace. My favorite is CCC Hacksquad Filedump
  2. Probe and start hacking
  3. Now, you wait.
  4. ...
  5. When the timer starts beeping a lot, you probably want to run the command "dc"
  6. RUN THE COMMAND!!!

PointClicker

Purchase the final PointClicker upgrade
---
Very. Easy. Achievement.
You need to have took the Entropy mission "PointClicker"

  1. Create a PointClicker account
  2. Hack into PointClicker
  3. Find your save. It would be [YOUR_USERNAME_HERE].pcsav
  4. Edit your points. Give yourself, lets say, 1,000,000,000,000,000 points.
  5. Now you should be able to buy the final PointClicker upgrade. Scroll down on the PointClicker list, as there are a lot of upgrades.

Hacknet

Basically, beat the game.

  1. Connect to Porthack.Heart
  2. Porthack Porthack?
  3. Credits. You've beat the game.
