[p]Here is the sneak-peak whats coming on hackhub:[/p][p]https://forum.hotbunny.dev/threads/6-hackhub-devblog-5[/p][p][/p][p]Hello Hackers! We are back with a major update bringing significant fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and new features to the core gameplay experience.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]💻 System & Tool Updates[/h3]

• [p]Command Renaming: The [c]ipconfig[/c] command has been renamed to [c]ifconfig[/c].[/p]
• [p]Metasploit Enhancements:[/p]
  • [p]New Exploit: Added the new exploit: [c]exploit/multi/fileformat/office_word_macro[/c].[/p]
  • [p]Payload System: Metasploit now supports a dedicated payload system. Certain exploits can now take a payload as an option.[/p]
  • [p]Initial Payload: The first payload, [c]bearos/meterpreter/reverse_tcp[/c], has been added. This payload allows you to establish a connection to your target's system via a reverse TCP connection after a successful phishing attempt. Note: The specified [c]LPORT[/c] value must be defined on your current network ports.[/p]

• [p]Sqlmap Fixes: Various error fixes have been implemented for the [c]sqlmap[/c] command.[/p]
• [p]Apt-Get Command Update: The terminal command content for objectives requiring an [c]apt-get[/c] installation has been updated. Example: Python3 installation - Old: [c]"apt-get install"[/c] New: [c]"apt-get install python3"[/c][/p]
• [p]Networking Tool Synergy: Logic for the Kimai and Wireshark tools has been added to the game, allowing for data theft from cookie-based websites. Initially, this works for firewall login credentials.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]✨ Quality of Life & UI Improvements[/h3]

• [p]New Terminal Autocomplete System: The terminal's autocomplete mechanism has been replaced with a structure similar to real-world operating systems. For example, navigating to [c]/home/user/desktop/files[/c] can now be completed by typing [c]"ho"[/c] and pressing tab (to complete to [c]"home"[/c]) and then [c]"/home/u"[/c] and pressing tab (to complete to [c]"/home/user"[/c]).[/p]
• [p]Terminal Prompt Style: The default terminal prompt style has been changed from "Modern" to "Default."[/p]

• [p]Goagle Mail Updates:[/p]
  • [p]Improvements have been made to Dark Mode in Goagle Mail.[/p]

• [p]Objective Logic Fixes:[/p]
  • [p]Bugs in the objectives for the Database Theft mission have been corrected.[/p]
  • [p]Objectives that required prior objectives to be completed but could be finished out of order are now correctly restricted: they will only appear and be completable if the preceding objective is finished.[/p]
• [p]Minigame Bug Fix: Fixed a bug where the minigame would continue for a short period after the timer had run out.[/p]
• [p]Typing Minigame: 10 additional code blocks have been added to the Typing mini-game.[/p]
• [p]Sound Fix: The main menu sound problem has been corrected.[/p]
