NS.nuke() method

Runs NUKE.exe on a server.

Signature:

nuke(host: string): boolean;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
host	string	Hostname/IP of the target server.

Returns:

boolean

True if the player runs the program successfully, and false otherwise.

Remarks

RAM cost: 0.05 GB

Running NUKE.exe on a target server gives you root access which means you can execute scripts on said server. NUKE.exe must exist on your home computer.

Each server has a different number of required open ports. If that number is greater than 0, you have to open its ports before nuking it. You can check the requirement with getServerNumPortsRequired or getServer().numOpenPortsRequired.

Note that the server's required hacking level is not a requirement of nuking. You can nuke a server as long as you open enough ports, regardless of your hacking level.

Example

ns.nuke("foodnstuff");
