The adventure starts with setting up your elite hacking infrastructure complete with virtual Windows system. After some thorough passive recon, you'll craft a sophisticated phishing campaign to steal credentials and gain initial access. Once inside you'll identify the security systems, scrape passwords, plant persistent backdoors, and delve deep into areas you don't belong. Throughout your task you'll get caught, change tack on a tee, dance around defensive monitoring systems, and disable tools from the inside. Sparc Flow's clever insights, witty reasoning, and stealth maneuvers teach you to be patient, persevere, and adapt your skills at the drop of a hat.
