Uplink Hints
How do I get in?
1 of 6: You have done at least one mission like this.
2 of 6: During the Tutorial you hacked into the Test machine, copied a file and got out.
3 of 6: It'll just like with the Test machine. You won't have a password and they will track you (with consequences, though).
4 of 6: Connect through as many systems as you see fit. Refer to the 'Active tracking' section for hints.
5 of 6: Use a Password Breaker to get in, get to the File Server and do your stuff.
6 of 6: Don't forget to de-log! (check the 'Passive tracking' and 'Logometry' sections for more details)
