Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Arunmor

In the game, there are numerous fictional companies, some of which have been named after the developers. Arunmor is named for developers Thomas ARUNdel and Mark MORris.

2. What is ALWAYS the password to the Uplink Test Machine?

Answer: Rosebud

Every server (excluding OCP, Steve Jackson, and Public Access Servers) requires a password for access. However, some system admins don't like to remember "gibberishy" passwords, and make an easy one (Good for us!).
An allusion to Citizen Kane, presumably, "rosebud" is always the password to UTM.

3. Can you be actively caught while hacking InterNIC, the InterNet Information Center?

Answer: No

InterNIC is also a good first bounce for any hack, as its password never changes during the game. Additionally, the admins never track you.

Answer: Trace Tracker

TT Version 4.0 is best, giving a second by second countdown.

Hardcore adrenaline junkies might like the cheaper version 1.0 or even going into a blind hack.

Eventually, you can buy the HUD-Map View, which replaces the TT, but doesn't beep. It also frees up processing power for your Password Breaker and other tools.

5. "Hello. I am the system administrator. My voice is my passport. Verify Me." What tool is used to crack the encryption that accompanies the above phrase and what is the cost of the right one?

Answer: 5000 Cr- Voice Analyzer

The Voice Analyzer is chiefly used in bank hacks, but is also on secure servers, some LANs, and ARC Central Mainframe. Regrettably, the sound is almost the same for every single person.

6. "Greetings, Dr. Falken. Would you like to play a game?" While this may fly over the heads of younger gamers, veteran geeks will recognize it from one of the movies "Uplink" was based on. On that note, what is the Protovision Game Server's password?

Answer: Joshua

"Wargames" is the movie hinted at in the question. In 2006, Hollywood finally reached out to the geek niche...and decided to make a sequel to it. Seriously.

7. What is the other word for a Grade 12 Agent?

Answer: Intermediate

Rankings are the official measure of who's on top in the underground world of hacking. There's two types: Official Uplink Status, and Neuromancer (Good or Evil?).
Intermediate ranking decrypts the Social Security missions.

8. Introversion threw in loads of Easter Eggs into "Uplink". Here's a question about Introversion's philosophy: What are "we the first" of, according to them?

Answer: The Children

The answer to this can be found by getting disavowed, then checking your score. Clicking the button on the top left brings up the answer screen.

9. Not all systems are created equal. For you, it's the slower trace the better, because a slow trace gives more time to tamper with system files. So, which of these systems has the slowest trace?

Answer: International Academic Database

IAD is a snail pace, period. Traces upwards of 400 seconds are easily possible with good bounces.

10. The music of "Uplink" is another part of the hacker ambience. As many agents know, it wouldn't be "Uplink" without the futuristic beats of 2010. Which is NOT an official "Uplink" song?

Answer: Xanadu

Xanadu is more of an '80s pop song.

The Blue Valley is the best song, in my book, but they're all good. They're downloadable, too. Just Google "uplink music".
