TutorialGettingStartedText: "Todo...",
TutorialNetworkingText: "Servers are a central part of the game. You start with a single personal server (your home computer) " +
"and you can purchase additional servers as you progress through the game. Connecting to other servers " +
"and hacking them can be a major source of income and experience. Servers can also be used to run " +
"scripts which can automatically hack servers for you.
" +
"In order to navigate between machines, use the 'scan' or 'netstat' commands to see all servers " +
"that are reachable from your current server. Then, you can use the 'connect [hostname/ip]' or " +
"'telnet [hostname/ip]' commands to connect to one of the available machines.
" +
"The 'hostname' and 'ifconfig' commands can be used to display the hostname/IP of the " +
"server you are currently connected to.",
TutorialHackingText: "In the year 2077, currency has become digital and decentralized. People and corporations " +
"store their money on servers. By hacking these servers, you can steal their money and gain " +
"experience.
" +
"Gaining root access
" +
"The key to hacking a server is to gain root access to that server. This can be done using " +
"the NUKE virus (NUKE.exe). You start the game with a copy of the NUKE virus on your home " +
"computer. The NUKE virus attacks the target server's open ports using buffer overflow " +
"exploits. When successful, you are granted root administrative access to the machine.
" +
"Typically, in order for the NUKE virus to succeed, the target server needs to have at least " +
"one of its ports opened. Some servers have no security and will not need any ports opened. Some " +
"will have very high security and will need many ports opened. In order to open ports on another " +
"server, you will need to run programs that attack the server to open specific ports. These programs " +
"can be coded once your hacking skill gets high enough, or they can be purchased if you can find " +
"a seller.
" +
"In order to determine how many ports need to be opened to successfully NUKE a server, connect to " +
"that server and run the 'analyze' command. This will also show you which ports have already been " +
"opened.
" +
"Once you have enough ports opened and have ran the NUKE virus to gain root access, the server " +
"can then be hacked by simply calling the 'hack' command through terminal, or by using a script.
" +
"Hacking mechanics
" +
"When you execute the hack command, either manually through the terminal or automatically through " +
"a script, you attempt to hack the server. This action takes time. The more advanced a server's " +
"security is, the more time it will take. Your hacking skill level also affects the hacking time, " +
"with a higher hacking skill leading to shorter hacking times. Also, running the hack command " +
"manually through terminal is faster than hacking from a script.
" +
"Your attempt to hack a server will not always succeed. The chance you have to successfully hack a " +
"server is also determined by the server's security and your hacking skill level. Even if your " +
"hacking attempt is unsuccessful, you will still gain experience points.
" +
"When you successfully hack a server. You steal a certain percentage of that server's total money. This " +
"percentage is determined by the server's security and your hacking skill level. The amount of money " +
"on a server is not limitless. So, if you constantly hack a server and deplete its money, then you will " +
"encounter diminishing returns in your hacking (since you are only hacking a certain percentage). A server " +
"will regain money at a slow rate over time. ",
TutorialScriptsText: "Scripts can be used to automate the hacking process. Scripts must be written in the Netscript language. " +
"Documentation about the Netscript language can be found in the 'Netscript Programming Language' " +
"section of this 'Tutorial' page.
Running a script requires RAM. The more complex a script is, the more RAM " +
"it requires to run. Scripts can be run on any server you have root access to.
" +
"Here are some Terminal commands that are useful when working with scripts:
" +
"free - Shows the current server's RAM usage
" +
"kill [script] - Stops a script that is running
" +
"nano [script] - Create/Edit a script
" +
"ps - Displays all scripts that are actively running on the current server
" +
"run [script] - Run a script
" +
"tail [script] - Displays a script's logs
" +
"top - Displays all active scripts and their RAM usage
",
TutorialNetscriptText: "Netscript is a very simple programming language implemented for this game. The language has " +
"your basic programming constructs and several built-in commands that are used to hack.
" +
" Variables and data types
" +
"The following data types are supported by Netscript:
" +
"numeric - Integers and floats (6, 10.4999)
" +
"string - Encapsulated by single or double quotes ('this is a string')
" +
"boolean - true or false
" +
"To create a variable, use the assign (=) operator. The language is not strongly typed. Examples:
" +
"i = 5;
" +
"s = 'this game is awesome!';
" +
"In the first example above, we are creating the variable i and assigning it a value of 5. In the second, " +
"we are creating the variable s and assigning it the value of a string. Note that all expressions must be " +
"ended with a semicolon.
" +
" Operators
" +
"The following operators are supported by Netscript:
" +
" +
" +
" -
" +
" *
" +
" /
" +
" %
" +
" &&
" +
" ||
" +
" <
" +
" >
" +
" <=
" +
" >=
" +
" ==
" +
" !=
" +
" Functions
" +
"You can NOT define you own functions in Netscript (yet), but there are several built in functions that " +
"you may use:
" +
"hack(hostname/ip)
Core function that is used to hack servers to steal money and gain hacking experience. The argument passed in must be a string with " +
"either the IP or hostname of the server you want to hack.
Examples: hack('foodnstuff'); or hack('148.192.0.12');
" +
"sleep(n)
Suspends the script for n milliseconds.
Example: sleep(5000);
" +
"grow(hostname/ip)
Use your hacking skills to increase the amount of money available on a server. The argument passed in " +
"must be a string with either the IP or hostname of the target server.
Example: grow('foodnstuff');
" +
"print(x)
Prints a value or a variable to the scripts logs (which can be viewed with the 'tail [script]' terminal command
" +
"nuke(hostname/ip)
Run NUKE.exe on the target server. NUKE.exe must exist on your home computer.
Example: nuke('foodnstuff');
" +
"brutessh(hostname/ip)
Run BruteSSH.exe on the target server. BruteSSH.exe must exist on your home computer
Example: brutessh('foodnstuff');
" +
"ftpcrack(hostname/ip)
Run FTPCrack.exe on the target server. FTPCrack.exe must exist on your home computer
Example: ftpcrack('foodnstuff');
" +
"relaysmtp(hostname/ip)
Run relaySMTP.exe on the target server. relaySMTP.exe must exist on your home computer
Example: relaysmtp('foodnstuff');
" +
"httpworm(hostname/ip)
Run HTTPWorm.exe on the target server. HTTPWorm.exe must exist on your home computer
Example: httpworm('foodnstuff');
" +
"sqlinject(hostname/ip)
Run SQLInject.exe on the target server. SQLInject.exe must exist on your home computer
Example: sqlinject('foodnstuff');
" +
"While loop
" +
"A while loop is a control flow statement that repeatedly executes code as long as a condition is met.
" +
"while ([cond]) {
[code]
}
" +
"As long as [cond] remains true, the code block [code] will continuously execute. Example:
" +
"i = 0;
while (i < 10) {
hack('foodnstuff');
i = i + 1;
};
" +
"This code repeat the 'hack('foodnstuff')' command 10 times before it stops and exits. " +
"Note that a semicolon is needed at closing bracket of the while loop, UNLESS it is at the end of the code
" +
"For loop
" +
"A for loop is another control flow statement that allows code to by repeated by iterations. The structure is:
" +
"for ([init]; [cond]; [post]) {
code
}
" +
"The [init] expression evaluates before the for loop begins. The for loop will continue to execute " +
"as long as [cond] is met. The [post] expression will evaluate at the end of every iteration " +
"of the for loop. The following example shows code that will do the same thing as the while loop example above, " +
"except using a for loop instead:
" +
"for (i = 0; i < 10; i = i+1) {
hack('foodnstuff');
};

TutorialTravelingText:"There are six major cities in the world that you are able to travel to:
" +
" Aevum
" +
" Chongqing
" +
" Sector-12
" +
" New Tokyo
" +
" Ishima
" +
" Volhaven
" +
"To travel between cities, visit your current city's travel agency through the 'World' page. " +
"From the travel agency you can travel to any other city. Doing so costs money.
" +
"Each city has its own set of companies and unique locations. Also, certain content is only available to you " +
"if you are in certain cities, so get exploring!",
TutorialJobsText: "Hacking is not the only way to gain money and experience! Located around the world are many " +
"different companies which you can work for. By working for a company you can earn money, " +
"train your various labor skills, and unlock powerful passive perks.
" +
"To apply for a job, visit the company you want to work for through the 'World' menu. The company " +
"page will have options that let you apply to positions in the company. There might be several different" +
"positions you can apply for, ranging from software engineer to business analyst to security officer.
" +
"When you apply for a job, you will get the offer if your stats are high enough. Your first position at " +
"a company will be an entry-level position such as 'intern'. Once you get the job, an button will appear on " +
"the company page that allows you to work for the company. Click this button to start working.
" +
"Working occurs in 8 hour shifts. Once you start working, you will begin earning money, experience, " +
"and reputation. The rate at which you money and experience depends on the company and your position. " +
"The amount of reputation you gain for your company is based on your job performance, which is affected by " +
"your stats. Different positions value different stats. When you are working, you are unable to perform any " +
"other actions such as using your terminal or visiting other locations (However, note that any scripts you have " +
"running on servers will continue to run as you work!). It is possible to cancel your work shift before the " +
"8 hours is up, but doing so will result in you gaining only half of all of the money, experience, and reputation " +
"that you had earned up to that point.
" +
"As you continue to work at a company, you will gain more and more reputation at that company. When your stats " +
"and reputation are high enough, you can get a promotion. You can apply for a promotion on the company page, just like " +
"you applied for the job originally. Higher positions at a company provide better salaries and stat gains.",
TutorialFactionsText: "Throughout the game you may receive invitations from factions. There are many different factions, and each faction " +
"has different criteria for determining its potential members. Joining a faction and furthering its cause is crucial " +
"to progressing in the game and unlocking endgame content.
" +
"It is possible to join multiple factions if you receive invitations from them. However, note that joining a faction " +
"may prevent you from joining other rival factions.
" +
"The 'Factions' link on the menu brings up a list of all factions that you have joined. " +
"You can select a Faction on this list to go to that Faction page. This page displays general " +
"information about the Faction and also lets you perform work for the faction. " +
"Working for a Faction is similar to working for a company except that you don't get paid a salary. " +
"You will only earn reputation in your Faction and train your stats. Also, cancelling work early " +
"when working for a Faction does NOT result in reduced experience/reputation earnings.
" +
"Earning reputation for a Faction unlocks powerful Augmentations. Purchasing and installing these Augmentations will " +
"upgrade your abilities. The Augmentations that are available to unlock vary from faction to faction.",
TutorialAugmentationsText: "Advances in science and medicine have lead to powerful new technologies that allow people to augment themselves " +
"beyond normal human capabilities. There are many different types of Augmentations, ranging from cybernetic to " +
"genetic to biological. Acquiring these Augmentations enhances the user's physical and mental faculties.
" +
"Because of how powerful these Augmentations are, the technology behind them is kept private and secret by the " +
"corporations and organizations that create them. Therefore, the only way for the player to obtain Augmentations is " +
"through Factions. After joining a Faction and earning enough reputation in it, you will be able to purchase " +
"its Augmentations. Different Factions offer different Augmentations. Augmentations must be purchased in order to be installed, " +
"and they are fairly expensive.
" +
"Unfortunately, installing an Augmentation has side effects. You will lose most of the progress you've made, including your " +
"skills, stats, and money. You will have to start over, but you will have all of the Augmentations you have installed to " +
"help you progress.
" +
"To summarize, here is a list of everything you will LOSE when you install an Augmentation:
" +
"Stats/Skills
" +
"Money
" +
"Scripts on all servers EXCEPT your home computer
" +
"Purchased servers
" +
"Hacknet Nodes
" +
"Company/faction reputation
" +
"Jobs and Faction memberships
" +
"Programs
" +
"TOR router
" +
"Here is everything you will KEEP when you install an Augmentation:
" +
"Every Augmentation you have installed
" +
"Scripts on your home computer
" +
"RAM Upgrades on your home computer",
