Your stats can be found in the Overview panel, the Stats subpage of the side menu, or with API methods like `ns.getPlayer()`.

Affects:
- Time needed to execute `hack`, `grow`, or `weaken` and similar methods
- Your chance to successfully hack a server
- Percent of a server's money stolen when hacking it
- Success rate of certain [crimes](crimes.md)
- Time needed to create a [Program](programs.md)
- [Faction](factions.md) [Reputation](reputation.md) gain when carrying out Hacking Contracts or Field Work
- [Company](companies.md) [Reputation](reputation.md) gain for certain jobs
Gain Hack experience by:
- Manually hacking servers through the [Terminal](terminal.md)
- Using `ns.hack()`, `ns.grow()`, or `ns.weaken()` through scripts
