This is the best hacking script that I could come up with.
Fully optimized, works with parallel tasks, minimal runtime.
Introduction
Hey all,
this is my idea of the ultimate hacking script.
Not only does it generate a lot of money in the least possible time, but it also generates a lot of hacking exp.
It took a hot minute to make, because neither am I a programmer, nor do I know any JavaScript.
UPDATE Version 2
I wanted to make a quick update, since I’ve converted the initial version to a lighter and simpler version using the batch method, as suggested by ICU大师 in the comments. The size was reduced by roughly 3 GB, so it now requires 6.5 GB to run instead of the 9.55 GB previously. In my testing, the amount of hack threads did not change. The next plan is to implement the functionality to hack the same server from as many different servers as the sleepTime allows. I will focus on purchased servers, so it’ll be up to 25 servers hacking the same server.
I mentioned this in the comments in the code as well, but I recommend running the script on ‘home’ and using purchased servers to run the worker tasks on for maximum RAM.
When starting out you can also use the RAM of the hacked servers.
You need to have all 5 script files on ‘home’ or the server you’re starting it from. Also this doesn’t buy the necessary *.exe files for port opening, so you have to do this manually.
Even when just starting out, I highly recommend purchasing servers for hacking. The available RAM on the servers that you can hack in the beginning is really limited. Even the total amount of all server is only around 3000 GB RAM, I haven’t checked if this is randomized.
A 128 GB server only costs around $7m. Follow the tutorial, hack n00dles a few times and you should have enough to buy one server.
USAGE
// This will hack 'joesguns' and use it's own RAM home: run masterHack.js joesguns // This will hack 'joesguns' and use the RAM of the private server 's1' home: run masterHack.js joesguns s1
If you have any questions regarding the usage or the code itself that might not be answered in the code, feel free to drop a comment.
TL;DR: scrip gud, munny and hack exp go brrrr.
