The sequel to the OG mobile hacking game, Hack Ex, is here. Hack Ex 2 is a real-time multiplayer hacker simulator with crews, PvP raids, and daily missions. Thousands of players compete in real-time to hack each other's in-game devices. Scan for victims, crack their defenses, drain crypto wallets, and upload viruses to slow your opponents — but stay sharp, because someone's trying to do the same to you. SCAN & EXPLOIT Find targets, assess their defenses, and launch your attack. BUILD YOUR ARSENAL Upgrade your bypass, cracker, spam, rootkit, siphon virus, and more. Use keygens 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 determine how fast your hacks land. Faster rig = more targets per hour. STEAL & STASH Drain crypto (in-game) from wallets. Be sure to store it in Cold Storage before someone hacks you back. DEFEND OR GET WRECKED Firewalls, antivirus, encryption — 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. CLIMB THE RANKS Daily missions, login streaks, and PvP leaderboards. Every hack, every upgrade, every defense matters. CUSTOMIZE YOUR DEVICE Unlock wallpapers as you upgrade. Collect themed packs like NetRunner, Sentinel, and the Legacy Collection. The OG mobile hacking sim returns — now bigger, deeper, and more competitive. The OG mobile hacking sim returns — now bigger, deeper, and more competitive.
