Grey Hack News

This update focuses on usability improvements in the UI.

• The default color of remote connection in the window bar has changed. This change will not affect players who use their own theme.
  
  
• When root user privileges are obtained, the glow of the window will change to red. This also applies to visual programs launched from a root terminal, since privileges are inherited.
  This color can be changed from Menu > Preferences > Appearance
  
  
• Updated the icons shown in FileExplorer to reflect the file type.
  
  
• CodeEditor now saves files with the extension ".src" by default.
  
  
• When double clicking from FileExplorer/Desktop in a file of type ".src" it opens automatically in the program CodeEditor.
  
  
• Notepad and CodeEditor allow to select existing files from the saving dialog, avoiding having to write the name manually whenever you want to overwrite an existing file.
  
  
• When Notepad and CodeEditor are closing, a warning is displayed if there are changes without saving, allowing the file to be saved at that moment.
  
  
• Fixed bug in FileExplorer that caused the error message "Can not open. Binary file" when launching a terminal type program. Now FileExplorer launches the program from a terminal.
  
  
• Performance improvements on client side.
  
  
• Fixed bug in shell.scp_upload and scp causing the terminal not to be released after copying.
  
  
• Minor bugs fixes.
  

• Fixed bug in file.copy within loops, causing erratic behavior.
  
  
• Fixed regression bug in file.copy that caused that the changes in client were not received.
  
  
• Fixed bug #354: hardware damaged warning notifications stack up a lot when running a script with a function that pauses the script, causing internal game crashes and massive lag.
  
  
• If there is a hardware error, the script is canceled completely.
  

• Fixed bug #351: API functions that pause the script sometimes hang the terminal
  

• Fixed regression bug from the last update that cause "net_use" can't connect with the router using the public ip.
  
  
• Fixed issue when launching FileExplorer in remote computers as guest.
  

• Bug fixed by not giving the correct privileges when exploiting a vulnerability that gives a non-guest shell.
  
  
• "net_use" can now be used with lan IPs.
  

• Moved scan and scan_mem methods to Metaxploit library. Now these methods require a MetaLib object as an argument. This allows to scan the libraries remotely using net_session.dump_libs.
  
  
• Simplified the names of the variables found when performing a library scan to remove characters that are not accepted in a terminal input.
  
  
• Optimized calls to the database from scripting to avoid redundant writes, negatively affecting performance.
  
  
• Fixed memory leak in SinglePlayer and server side, especially notable in loops using the scripting system.
  

• Scripting max limit execution time removed.
  
  
• Fixed bug #345: text copy doesnt work in Accounts window.
  
  
• Fixed bug when canceling active commands like file.copy, decipher, etc. Causing unexpected behaviors.
  
  
• More regression bugs fixed about the game engine update.
  

• Updated Unity version for first time in the development. This change brings substantial improvements at the development level that I will implement in successive updates.
  
  
• Fixed bug when injecting an incorrect lib, causing the player unable to re-log again after exiting the online mode.
  

• Fixed potential issues that could be causing the bug #335
  
  
• Fixed bug in the terminal that allowed the player to enter commands while the terminal was in standby mode while processing, when using methods such as inject_lib, decipher or file copy.
  
  
• Fixed bug #295: Terminal Auto Scrolling #2
  

• Temporary fix in stores to avoid extreme lag in the browser when there are many items.
  
  
• Fixed bug in the npc admins, causing that the libraries of the computers were not updated, and therefore the exploits that require versions of libraries higher than 1.0.0 were useless.
  

• Fixed bug that prevented escalating privileges using sudo -s after having gained access to a shell as guest or normal user.
