Comments

Prerequisites

You can obtain HexClock.exe immediately after completing Bit's second mission, "Getting some tools together". Just get your copy of SSHcrack.exe and you have all the necessary.

Obtaining the file

1) Connect to Viper-Battlestation (the IP is given to you Bit in his second email)
2) Use the "scan" command to find the Entropy Asset Cache machine and connect to it
3) Solve the firewall (password: time), and hack one of the four possible ports
4) Once inside, the file will be in the /bin folder. Just scp it to your workstation and you're done!

@FromIwoJima Why do you need a username? You don't need to log in. Probe, then A) type " analyze " a few times until you get a lot of 0's and the letters t i m e , or B) just use the password time. To do this, just type " solve time ". No login required.

@SuperStimpy: in your terminal type "ps", take note of HexClock.exe's PID, and then "kill PID"
