Hacking the device

Having troubles hacking it.
I was only able to add user permissions  in the user folder but cant do anything else.
I don't really understand the puzzle side of this minigame. (all those 4 digit numbers don't make sense to me the way they work in each folder)
Any tips/help? :s
Also cant find the NPC who would tell me how to join fanatics.

This quest is not mandatory to advance the game story (so it's a side quest) so we deliberately made it quite difficult, and more like an inside thing for people who might be tech-savvy. I won't give away the solution myself, but maybe other people will :)

As for joining fanatics - hint: talk to freedom guys and ask them about that.

After over an hour of trial and error (forceing the game to exit without saving inbetween) i became seriously pissed off, but then i came up with a solution to the hack, instead of hacking the device, i hacked the order_quest_rosco_device.js file so any action on the terminal gave the the function TerminalSuccess(). Not exaclty what i was suppose to do, but i figured hackings hacking, doesnt matter what i hack, as long as the end result is the same, quest complete.

Well, that's one way to look at it :)

Hi there.. new to the universe and have been trying to figure this out..

Fairly tech-savvy but have yet to figure out the sequence.. Just to be sure, there IS a way and a way that WORKS 100%? lol

I just want to make sure it's a viable quest and in working order before spending more time, LMAO :D

Cheers,

Well it is definitely a solvable quest, but we made it as an extra quest that is not mandatory to progress in the game, so we made it extra difficult :) One small mistake and BOOM.

Ha, yeah I've noticed.. Still working on it but didn't have much time yesterday..

It's clearly tricky in what commands are allowed.
