Story
IdleOS is an idle hacking game played through a life-like command line. Type commands, spin up virtual machines and build an operation that mines, parses, cracks and matches its way from a high school student's records to classified government servers, and keeps running whether you're watching or not. Run the whole operation Every skill feeds the next. Mine logs, parse it into usernames and encrypted passwords, crack them, match them into credentials, then compile everything into the payloads you need to hack. Every process runs on its own, and VM windows let you keep several of them cranking at once. 42 processes across Mining, Parsing, Cracking, Matching, Phishing, Decoding, Compiling and Hacking Open VM windows to run processes side by side Overclock for speed, but watch the temperature: overheat and everything slows to a crawl Phish for combat supplies with Spear, Whaling, Smish and long-running Traps that keep filling even while the game is closed Upload your way up Every location has an upload goal. Package what you've made, let it upload in the background, and complete the goal to gain access to the next location, with new targets, new processes and new upgrades...
