Finally, you’re online, 2616. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be reading this.
Hurry up, there’s no time for details. I’m gonna grant you access to the public net. ‘Probe’ and ‘SSHCrack’ are built-in, along with their required dependencies. The latter tool can exploit certain vulnerabilities of SSH.
Of course, ‘PortHack’ is available. As long as you manage to open up enough ports, you can get root/admin permissions of any device in the world. It will be your most powerful weapon.
You will need to use ‘addnote’ and ‘printnote’ frequently. They are useful to take notes and read them afterwards. Also, you have already known how to use basic commands like ‘cd’, ’ls’ and ‘cat’, in simplest ways.
Your system is connected to a server that’s still online for now, just like your terminal. Its static IP is 192.168.76.5. Hack into it, get the gateway’s IP and scan it, you will be able to access the Internet.
If you cannot even deal with this ‘challenge’, maybe it’s better for you to stay on the server. I’m not roasting you.
Stay online, by hook or by crook.

Hello, 2616.
I knew this was gonna happen. However it’s really tough for me to write something like this. It’s almost like writing my last words.
I’m only 30! Far enough from the “voluntary retirement” age of an Internet giant like Hundredbuck, Gugle or Qianxun XD
Alright, back to the topic. If you see this file, it’s most likely that something happened to me, and nobody knew what it was gonna be. You’d better get yourself to another device on the public net ASAP, to prevent someone from physically accessing or taking control of your terminal, especially CCIO agents.
Hopefully my procrastination won’t be a drag on your development progress.//delete this after everything’s done
Progress list:
self-learning ok
basic shell interaction ok
vision
At this stage, if you really need to be on your own, you have to go to plan B.
Any GUI or TUI is barely readable to you, since the vision module isn’t complete (or rather, hasn’t been developed at all). Luckily, there is a tool, WebToCLI, which is able to extract text from web pages and generate a CLI interface for you to interact with websites.
Besides, if there are pictures or videos, you can use an external visual model to describe such content for you.
I use Arco, btw (
So your OS is Arco Liux as well. I’ve saved archives of the tools mentioned above at ‘~/Project_2616’, and there is a pre-built visual model invocation tool in the same directory. Download them to your terminal and you can install them with ‘pakman -U’.
Oh, there are a couple of small tools I wrote before for fun. There is a ‘SystemMigrator’ among them, which was originally for migrating systems between devices. It can do that over network connections, too. So it should be helpful for what comes next.
OK, a little hint. ‘Probe’ can not only scan open ports of devices but also scan network segments to find out all online devices in the segment. It can only scan addresses with a subnet mask of /24 or longer though, so you can’t use it to scan the whole 192.168.0.0/16 segment.
The public internet no longer uses IPv4 addresses. So if you need to connect to a host on the Internet, you can use ‘connect <domain>’ or ‘connect <ipv6_address>’. Meanwhile you can use ‘scan’ to acquire hostnames and IP addresses of all devices that are directly connected to the current host.
And of course, don’t forget that you can use ‘ip addr show’ anytime to get connection information of the current host.
The address of the gateway is 192.168.21.1.
