Bitburner toolkit scripts

These are the scripts I used to beat the BitBurner game.

Update: Oct-2024

Major updates have been made to the codebase, introducing a new automated workflow based around the 01.js startup script. This update shifts away from manual deployment towards a more streamlined approach.

Key additions:

• New automated startup system via 01.js
• Added hackerSpider.js for intelligent hacking management
• Enhanced serverScanner.js
• Added a few contract solvers for the contracts I have done.

Strategy

The core workflow is now:

1. Run 01.js to initialize all core systems:
   • crackerSpider.js for getting rootAccess
   • hackerSpider.js for optimizing the hack loop
   • purchaseServers.js for private server purchasing
   • starters/buyTORRouter.js to automate the purchase of TOR Router, which then triggers the automation of Executables purchase.

After this, I just start with mugging, then faction rep farming once available.

Legacy Tools

deployHack.js remains available as a legacy tool for manual deployment when needed, but is no longer part of the primary workflow.

Core Scripts

01.js

The primary entry point for the system:

run 01.js

This single command initializes the core scripts and begins automated operations.

hackerSpider.js

Advanced resource management that:

• Automatically calculates optimal thread distribution
• Selects the most profitable targets
• Maintains efficient RAM usage across all servers
• Periodically reviews and adjusts strategy

purchaseServer.js

Server infrastructure management:

run purchaseServer.js [ramPotency]

• Automatically purchases and upgrades servers
• Scales based on available resources
• Supports custom RAM growth targets

Utility Scripts

• info.js: Server analysis
• serverScanner.js: Network scanning functions
• logManager.js: Logging tool, right now only used for crackerSpider

Contract Solvers

Located in /contracts/:

• caesar_cypher.py: Encryption solver
• max_subarray_sum.py: Array optimization
• triangle-minimum-path.py: Path finding

Disclaimer

Those were all quick scripts developed to beat the challenges of the game. Time is the biggest constraint, I was not focused on optimization, but just getting the job done. :)

There are a couple of scripts I borrowed, credit is given to the script's first lines.
