Changes since v0.1.7.1
Domains, registrars, and hosting
Domain ownership has been reworked because directly buying a domain and automatically publishing it from a home machine blurred together several separate steps: registering a name, controlling its DNS, and hosting the service behind it. Domains are now managed through in-game registrar providers, where players create accounts, purchase domains, and control their DNS records through a more deliberate checkout and configuration flow.
Domains now use personal signing keys for DNS changes, and recovered registrar accounts can manage the domains they control. One web server can also host separate sites for multiple domains, making hosted infrastructure more flexible. DNS trust controls have been expanded so a resolver can trust every root served by a chosen DNS server.
New missions and system repair
Two new missions have been added, including new objectives and distinct public routes across multi-network targets.
rootpkg can now inspect installed libraries, install missing components, and repair damaged software. Installing software also brings in the core libraries it requires, while missing commands provide a clearer hint about which package to install.
Injected Lua payloads now provide clearer feedback when they fail immediately, making it easier to distinguish a failed payload from a failed exploit attempt.
Accounts and local machine management
Added useradd and userdel for managing local machine accounts.
Banking, mailbox, and registrar account recovery now work more consistently with the services and domains players control. Registration and checkout flows have also received clearer validation and feedback.
Browser, search, and world updates
Browser tabs now retain their own address entry, so switching tabs no longer replaces the address currently being typed.
Public search results have been expanded with registrar, hosting, logistics, retail, and construction organisations. Generated hosting organisations now use more varied identities while avoiding collisions.
Configured web servers can expose directory listings where appropriate, and terminal or service startup failures now return a clear error instead of leaving a stalled session.
