Programs
In Bitburner "Programs" refer specifically to the list of .exe files found in the Programs tab of the side menu.
Unlike .js scripts you write for yourself with JavaScript, Programs are supplied to you by Bitburner and are only "programs" in name; they do not require or allow you to access actual lines of code. Instead once you have a Program you will be able to use it directly as a function in the Terminal or scripts.
[n00dles /]> run BruteSSH.exe
[n00dles /]> scan-analyze 10
or
ns.sqlinject("n00dles")
After meeting the Hacking Skill level threshold shown on each Program, you have the option to Create Program, allowing you to do that as a focused or unfocused activity. The time needed to create a Program generally increases with their level requirement, and scales with your stats.
Alternatively, you may also find the same Programs available for purchase by connecting to the in-game Darkweb, accessed after finding a tech store in a City and purchasing Tor ("The Onion Router").
