Digital Plague

The network is vulnerable — infiltrate it! Click compromised nodes to deploy attack payloads that spread through fiber connections to adjacent servers. Each hacked node generates code points for evolution: choose faster propagation, stealth masking, or firewall bypass algorithms. Security programs actively hunt your malware, quarantining infected nodes and severing connections. Levels escalate with denser network grids, faster security sweeps, and encrypted nodes requiring multiple infection attempts. Advanced mechanics include honeypot nodes that trap your payloads, redundant connections that reroute security, and core servers that must be compromised to complete each stage. Evolution paths define your strategy — brute force overwhelms quickly but triggers alerts, while stealth worms spread undetected through backdoors. Hack the network, evolve your virus, and achieve total system compromise before the antivirus catches up.
