Hacking is really annoying and hard.

IF you have the science, activate the computer console.

Then it'll give you a wall of characters, with some words thrown in there.

SLOWLY, move along EVERY character, ALL OF THEM. You'll notice sometimes you highlight a string of characters. If you press X on here, it'll say "Removed Dud" or "Replenished allowances" Removing all the duds will making guessing the passwords alittle easier, but it's still a guessing game.

Usually I guess 3 times, and then look for all the duds and have a chance to get a replenish allowances.

It depends on what you're hacking. Sometimes you'll turn off gun turrets. Sometimes you turn on Gaurd Robots, sometimes you get information for quests.

complete guessing game.

also I forgot.

when you're trying to hack and you guess wrong. It will say something like "Incorrect passphrase 1/5 correct" The 1/5 or 1/6 or whatever number of letters the password has gives you hints.

It tells you how many letters in the word you picked are correct. Which helps you narrow down the selection of passwords.

Hard? Not really. Hacking in Spinter Cell Chaos Theory was a pain in the arse and you were on a small time limit. This is like a walk in the park once you get the hang of it. You choose words that contain letters to the actual password. There's a word in that list that is the actual password and it's about 30xp if guessed right. It'll say how many letters you have correct. If you gain all the letters, you get the password. If you're having a hard time and down to one chance, escape and go back to it. It all restarts. All of those other characters are just jibberish. Just choose the words.

Try this application:

http://fallout3hacker.appspot.com/fallout3hacker.html

Let me know what you think or if you have any problems using it. It may seem kind of slow... it tries to do the calculations on the server. I'm not sure if that's the best way to do it yet.

Fallout 3 hacking is ridiculously easy. When you pick your first choice... pick a word that has a similar set of letters together to eliminate all the possibles in that category. For instance... pick a word ending in "ing" or ending in "tion". And when it tells you the number of letters correct... the letters are not only in the word but they are in the right spot in the word. Example: if you pick the word poop and it says that you have 3/4 correct, and there is a word like pool. the 3 are correct and in line with the right word. POOp > POOl. But polo would only come up as 2/4 correct since the o's aren't in the right spot. POlo. And also... save it before every hack. If you fail, just load it and do it again. It's worth it for the exp. you get every time and for the things that hacking unlocks for you like items and whatnot.

Hacking is very VERY easy, as long as you actually understand what it means. Just pick the first word, then look how many letters match, and go find the next word that fits. If its not that, compare the two, and get the next one. There isnt often more than two words that have matching letters to your first guess.

I would pick the first 3 words every time. If it wasn't one of those I'd back out and retry until it worked. Never took long.

I think the best, logical method is this: - Pick the first word and see how many letters are correct (let's call that number X). - Look for the next word that has exactly X letters in common with the first word and enter it. - Repeat until you find it, restart if you run out of tries. The reasoning behind it is that if the first word has X correct letters, the password obviously must have exactly X characters in common, it can't have more or less, because then the word you picked would also have to have more correct letters.

its no guessing game,there is a way but the first word you choose is a guess. you realy need to take a bit of time though. when you choose a word it will appear on the bottom right of the screen. a number will appear telling you how many characters are correct in that word. now highlight each other word on the screen 1 at a time,compairing that word on the bottom right with the highlighted word(which should also be on the bottom right). list all the words that have the same charecters in th same position on paper if you need to eg: shAKE>>>quAKE= AKE 3 characters...and so on. then choose a word from these choices you have narrowed down and repeat the process till you get the word and become a winner :)

The purpose of the app that I wrote is to remove the time that it takes to count how many letters words have in common. All you have to do is enter each word in exactly once and it suggests a word for you (which you don't have to choose). When you click 3/5 for a particular word then it filters the list for you showing you all of the words that are left which had 3/5 letters in common. There are some cases where the first word you choose would not allow you to get the correct word in four tries, but they appear to show up very rarely. It's just easier to let something else do the thinking for you =).

Ue this method it is simple, when you first begin choose a word then slowly go threw the text on screen you will highlight characters that look like this or [..?=*}], notice the brackets at the end, some will have multiple ones connected when you select these they will remove the wrong choices and some will give you a 4 more chances to guess. If you go threw the whole screen of text most times you will be able to eliminate all the wrong choices and still have 3 or 4 guesses left or it will leave only 2 to choose from. This is the best way to hack the computers and easy once you use this method there is no more guessing involved.
