## What is Hack NET?

It's time for a FOURTH Hack Run!

Note: Hack NET is the fourth installment in the Hack RUN series. You should play 'Hack RUN' before starting this game. 

A seemingly routine request for help turns deadly quickly in this version of the Hack RUN series! When the network you are hired to hack reveals its secrets, will you be able to use that information for good? Hack NET uses old-school prompts (like DOS and UNIX) to access virtual programs and systems. Gain access to users’ files and emails to discover new ways to dig deeper and deeper.

Hack NET includes these newly developed interface enhancements:

GAME CENTER SUPPORT 
Earn achievements and track your leaderboard score against other players. 

CONVENIENT MAIN-MENU POPUP 
Enables you to access important content quickly. 

CONFIGURE TEXT & BACKGROUND COLORS 
Choose from black, white and green. 

PERSONAL NOTEPAD 
Keep track of where you’ve been with the built-in notepad. 

Additional enhancements: 
> More “substantial” levels. Earn your way to the final goal. 
> New modes of communication to “interface” with users.
> More levels than in Hack RUN, Hack Run ZERO or Hack TIME.
> Added 'font' command to change the font size

Stuck on a level? Just use the 'hint' or 'answer' commands to help you along. 

*** Make sure to play the FIFTH game called Hack WATCH after you finish this one! *** 

Hack NET is a game. It is not a tool or aid for learning how to hack into real computer systems. i273 LLC does not endorse hacking.

### 1/5 — In-game browser broken?

*2025-01-12, version 1.2*

Would love chance to play this instalment but pretty sure game-breaking issue with all things web in-game? Fix please so I can give the usual 5-star treatment!

### 4/5 — Fun, but stuck

*2021-07-13*

The story’s immersive, but I’m stuck on the “please check the permission code help” part.

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2020-01-08*

Great series overall, but this one had a few bugs at the end. All of the video calls wouldn't play. Tried going through the mail to do that, and they never played. Lost good bits of story/help without them. That aside, great play and much more difficult which was nice.

### 5/5 — Love them

*2019-04-19, version 1.2*

I love the game series, what I like the most on this one is that we finally get to see more of the fun girl behind all the character’s voices, I loved Priscilla particularly. I don’t know if the girl that does the voices is also the developer or the writer but you are amazing, glad we can see more of u!

### 5/5 — My favorite game!

*2015-04-04*

I played the first three games a while ago and loved them! And when I heard about Hack Net, I played them all over again!!! This series is by far my favorite game!

### 5/5 — Great 4th Game

*2014-11-05*

Loved them All! This one is pretty challenging, but the hints and answers are very helpful. Try it with the iPhone 6 fixes.

### 2/5 — Ok game

*2014-11-02*

Good story line but, the game was way too easy.

**Developer response:** That’s awesome you were able to solve the game so easily! We’ll try to make a harder version for those of you who are uber gamers. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing!

### 5/5 — Played hack run and zero. Hack time and net are on my list.

*2014-10-05, version 1.1*

These games are amazing. I would be really happy to have more of these games made. I would buy them all. They really are so simple yet so fun. Amazing. It really makes me feel like I'm a hacker. 5 stars!

### 4/5 — Addictive!!

*2014-09-22, version 1.1*

This game is addictive I have lost so many hours playing this, I have surprised myself aswell...BUT It won't let me get past level 38 when I try to log in as as "uriel" it says I am already logged in and it is really frustrating, even when I ask for the answer it tells me to read the txt message to get to level 39 I have read this many times! Please could you fix this so I can carry on playing p.s I have all 4 of these games

### 4/5 — Dur mais meilleur qu'avant

*2014-07-16, version 1.1*

J'adore la nouvelle façon d'interagir avec la compagnie que l'on attaque. Avant, on pouvait seulement affecter les serveur et autres via la ligne de commande. Mais maintenant, on peut effacer du contenu web, déclencher des événements et avancer de niveau juste avec le navigateur!
En plus, l'histoire est toujours aussi accrochante même si le principe et la façon de procéder reste les mêmes.
Je remercie l'auteur d'inclure les commandes "hint" et "answer" qui me permettent d'avancer quand je suis coincé. Les niveaux sont plus dur à mesure que l'on avance dans la série...

J'espère que la série va continuer encore longtemps!
