There were two large holes in the existing offline server handling: 1. It didn't include IPs, so scripts that used IPs instead of hostnames would get exceptions thrown for "server not found." 2. Coverage was very low for non-Darknet APIs. Maybe most of them don't need to be covered, but many obvious ones like "ps", "killall" and "hasRootAccess" were missing. IMO the only reliable answer is one that enforces *all* are covered via the type system. To accomplish the second part, helpers.getServer() was changed to return null when a server is offline. This intentionally breaks a lot of its utility, which was to return a server unconditionally. To compensate, its utility was increased - it now also does unknown argument processing, allowing it to subsume a common line that all callers were repeating. Some callers switched to ctx.workerScript.getServer(), because they didn't actually need to be using helpers.getServer(). Similarly, a few callsites switched to GetServerOrThrow(), for the cases where it should be guaranteed that the server is valid. The rest are returning a default/failure response when the server is offline. (Except for contracts, which threw on failure already anyway.)

Remarks
RAM cost: 0.1 GB
Function that is used to try and hack servers to steal money and gain hacking experience. The runtime for this command depends on your hacking level and the target server’s security level when this function is called. In order to hack a server you must first gain root access to that server and also have the required hacking level.
A script can hack a server from anywhere. It does not need to be running on the same server to hack that server. For example, you can create a script that hacks the foodnstuff server and run that script on any server in the game.
A successful hack() on a server will raise that server’s security level by 0.002 per thread. You can use hackAnalyzeSecurity to calculate the security increase for a number of threads.
Example
let earnedMoney = await ns.hack("foodnstuff");
