About Blackdoor

Blackdoor is a game tagged Simulation, Hacking and Programming by Static Signal, released Aug 6, 2026. It has 20 Steam reviews (Positive). The Steam games most like it include Hacker The Dark Shadow, Torrent Empire and HackMeNow.

You're a hacker with a terminal and four terrible scripts - time to rewrite them. Hack servers by writing actual code in a custom scripting language: probe ports, crack passwords, steal data, and get out before the trace completes. The better your code, the better you hack.

  1. Sep 20, 2026 v1.1.2 - Performance and bug fixes

    Script PanelsScripts can claim their own real display panel now, instead of only ever printing lines and reading one at a time - open_panel() grabs one from a script panel in your layout.cfg. The Layout Designer can build one visually and …

  2. Sep 13, 2026 v1.1.1 - bug fixes

    Bug Fixessqli() no longer crashes a script when a target has no configured routes - returns a normal checkable result instead.Object literals, lists, and function calls can now be written across multiple lines.ls now shows real file permis…

  3. Sep 10, 2026 v1.1.0 - Persistence

    This is the biggest update Blackdoor's had since launch, and it's less about any one feature than about the world stopping being so still. A server used to be a filing cabinet - it sat there with its files and its users until you did somet…

  4. Sep 1, 2026 v1.0.6 - workshop and scripting fixes

    NewAction link syntax (open a firewall port, view server users, etc. from an HTML page) is now documented right in the Workshop editor when editing an .html file, instead of only existing in an external doc.A new editor= option in ~/.confi…

  5. Aug 23, 2026 v1.0.5 - workshop updates

    NewThe mission editor's IRC Chatter sequences can be edited after adding them now, not just deleted and retyped from scratch.The mission editor's SERVER field is a real picker now, pulled from your own saved servers, instead of a free-text…

  6. Aug 18, 2026 v1.0.4 - adjustments abound

    NewString formatting: "%s connected on port %d" % \. %s for any value, %d/%f for numbers, %% for a literal percent.rm_dir(conn, path) - recursively delete a directory and everything inside it.get_unix_time() - real wall-clock time, for ben…

  7. Aug 12, 2026 v1.0.3 - many fixes

    NewBackup copies of the 5 starter scripts now live on the drop box, under /tools/starter_scripts/. Broke your own copy? Grab a fresh one any time.publish

  8. Aug 8, 2026 v1.0.2 - Fixes Round Two & More Bits!

    Newexit() - halts a script immediately, even from inside a function. return only pops back to whatever called that function; exit() stops the whole script right there, at any nesting depth. raise("message") (alias: error()) - same idea, bu…

  9. Aug 6, 2026 v1.0.1 - Launch Day Fixes

    Bug FixesImported modules couldn't use any builtin or API function inside their own functions - calling log(), int(), str(), connect(), or anything else from inside a function defined in an import'ed module failed outright with "'x' is not…

  10. Aug 1, 2026 Demo Update - v0.11.2

    FeaturesRecovery shell for a deleted root filesystem - if you (or a script) rm -r your own machine's / directory, the terminal now drops into a bare recovery> prompt instead of leaving you in a broken, half-working state forever. Only basi…

  11. Jul 29, 2026 Demo Update - v0.11.1

    FeaturesMusic, for real this time - the music command is live: view the playlist, music next / music prev to skip around, music to jump straight to a track, or music set to loop one track on repeat instead of rotating, for anyone who just …

  12. Jul 26, 2026 Demo Update - v0.11.0

    FeaturesCustomize your UI layout - ~/.config/layout.cfg (same idea as blackdoor.conf's theme customization) lets you rearrange every pane on screen. Just write "width height content" per line and panels place themselves automatically, left…
