Hack Ex 2 is a real-time multiplayer hacking game where every target is a real player. Scan the network, break through firewalls, crack passwords, and drain crypto wallets — while other hackers try to do the same to you. This is the sequel to Hack Ex, the original mobile hacker simulator played by millions. Rebuilt from the ground up with crews, PvP raids, a shared Crew Server, daily missions, and a deeper endgame. SCAN & EXPLOIT Find targets, read their defenses, and launch your attack. Bypass the firewall to get in, then crack the password to reach the wallet. STEAL & STASH Drain crypto (in-game) from rival wallets, then move it to Cold Storage before someone hacks you back. BUILD YOUR ARSENAL Upgrade your Bypasser, Password Cracker, Spam, Rootkit, Siphon virus, and more. Use a Keygen to unlock software on the cheap. Every upgrade makes you faster and deadlier. UPGRADE YOUR RIG From a basic Raider to the Nova Ultra, your device and network speed decide how fast your hacks land. Faster rig, more targets per hour. DEFEND OR GET WRECKED Firewall, Antivirus, Password Encryptor: layer your defenses or wake up to an empty wallet and a trashed reputation. CREW UP Join a crew for encrypted chat, coordinated PvP raids, and crew-wide Rootkit debuffs on rival hackers. NEW: CREW SERVER Pool Crypto into your crew's treasury and build a shared server that buffs every member: • CPU: faster firewall bypasses and password cracks • NIC: faster downloads and uploads • RAM: extra Spam slots for every member • Uplink: more targets on every scan • Storage: room for more members Keep the treasury funded to keep the server online. The strongest crews run the strongest hardware. CLIMB THE RANKS Daily missions, login streaks, and PvP leaderboards. Reach Level 50, then trigger the Reboot Protocol to start over with exclusive hardware and passive abilities. CUSTOMIZE YOUR DEVICE Unlock wallpapers as you upgrade. Collect themed packs like NetRunner, Sentinel, and the Legacy Collection. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Available in 12 languages, on phones, tablets, and foldables. Free to play. No hacking knowledge required. This is not a real hacking tool — this is a game.
