go to upgrade gateway

and go for the VIRTUA NET R-ACESS gateway

the description says with it you cant be caught, but i daren't ever let me timer get anywhere near to test it out tbh!

hmm so basically it prob gives you a one off - if you get traced that machine gets taken away but nothing else... if not you keep it until u do?

Ah well. When your at level 5 you have to trace a bank detail. I have all necessary tools, but the trace bar goes faster than the password breaker so can't get into admin!

hmm, could be the case, but i aint risking being caught to test it :P

i think im at the stage where you are now, lots of bank things appear to be popping up, and even with monitor bypass, get traced :-(

one thing i read online is that its harder to trace you if you go through
a) more machines
b) if the machines you have an account or already have a valid password at
c) if they have government machines

so my trace route goes through all the banks (opening an account with each of them, and all the government databases), so gives me a *bit* more time, but im not that quick, i think i may need to buy some more cpu upgrades or something

must earn money and see :-/

im tempted to try and rob a bank to, lol, but am scared :-/

MercilessKiller

time to start again!
