DWAINE..zards.

[Zamujasa]

The thing about DWAINE/TermOS is that, unlike something like chem, you can't figure it out just by typing/clicking random things and seeing what happens. You have to know specific commands, command sequences, and functions, and it really gives very little in the way of hints of what these things are. One letter off and you get nothing. For example, spoofing a login can be decently rewarding, but while you can get a decent idea of what a login packet looks like using the packet sniffer, how are you supposed to figure out how to make and send that login packet, short of someone else telling you how? Parts of it are hinted at, but there's still a couple of parts missing from what you can hack together with just the hints I've seen, and it requires the use of a couple of things that don't actually seem to be documented anywhere ingame. Hell, I don't think it's even possible to figure out how to use a printer without consulting the wiki - basic functions like piping aren't mentioned anywhere in the DWAINE help files.

There's actually a page on the wiki that does mention piping:

echo [text...] will print provided text to the current output stream. By default, this is the user's terminal. This may also be piped into a record file by use of ^. For example: "echo Hello, World! ^ ./file" will create a file named "file" in your current directory (Assuming you have write access) containing the the text "Hello, World" "|n" may be used to establish newlines.

As well as printing:

Any valid document copied to the mountpoint of a printer will be printed. The printer mountpoints are in /mnt, and are generally prefixed with "lp-". cp filename /mnt/lp-artlab, will order the printer in Artifacts Lab to print the contents of filename.

...the page in question being TermOS.

It was more of an example. Easy to make, has a huge effect. DWAINE gives shortcuts to things that are more easy to do discreetly.

There's really little that you can do with TermOS/DWAINE that actually has more than a minute effect, and that's really just fucking with the buddies or calling the shuttle. Messing with the telepad will be annoying if anybody's doing telescience but outside of that it's fairly inconsequential.

...with the caveat that, of course, this is just based on my knowledge, so there's always the possibility of additional stuff that I just don't know about. Given how much of TermOS/packeting/DWAINE is generally unknown I wouldn't be surprised.
