The new patch introduces the largest and most complex update we’ve ever had in the last two years of development. Partnership with Uplink, new Hivemind Cyber Range universe, the launch of the Game Editor Toolset and more!
Hivemind was initially a covert communications network between Intelligence Agencies, similar to SIPRnet. Over time, mercenary organisations joined the network and it is now an underground cyber range, a virtual environment used for cyber-warfare training and technical development. It provides tools that help strengthen the stability, security and performance of cyberinfrastructures and IT systems used by government and military agencies.
As a player, you can access this sandbox via the Hivemind icon at the bottom of your screen, (5th Icon). More than 63 Hiveminds are currently being built with a variety of difficulties and challenges. It’s a huge undertaking and we hope it will add a completely new playstyle to NITE Team 4.
Player Created Servers can be rated based on fun, difficulty and content quality. You also have the average time it will take to break in. Other types of ratings and filters will be added later, to give you more control over what type of cyber range you wish to play with.
In 2001, Introversion Software had created a game that would kick off a genre: hacking simulation game. Uplink has won countless awards and achieved a cult status for many members in the hacking games community.
Starting today, all Uplink owners will automatically get a unique Stinger OS skin. To unlock the skin, you just need to have Uplink in your steam library.
Owners of the Network Administrator can design and create their own Cyber Range in the Hivemind network. In the Stinger OS, a new icon on your left will give you a link to the game editor.
Network Administrator has access to a dashboard showing how many players have access to the cyber range, who succeeded and the global experience they had. The editor includes the same tools we used to design and create all of the missions in NITE Team 4 with some limitations, to keep things simple.
You can create your own technologies and vulnerabilities. Design puzzles of any type, with many network layers to break in and investigate. Advanced Module includes File Browser support, Active Directory, Smart Phone and even Man in the Middle attacks.
