📄 FACKER — User Guide (Fake + Hacker Simulation App)

🧠 What is FACKER?

FACKER is a macOS interactive simulation app that combines fake “hacker-style” effects with system dialogs, voice narration, and Terminal animations.

It is designed as a visual prank / cinematic system simulation, not a real hacking tool.

Despite the name and visuals:

• ❌ It does NOT hack devices
• ❌ It does NOT access your files, messages, camera, or email
• ❌ It does NOT track you or store personal data

It only creates a local scripted experience on your Mac.

📥 Installation Instructions (IMPORTANT)

After downloading FACKER from itch.io:

⚠️ Step 1 — Move to Applications Folder

You MUST move the app here:

👉 Macintosh HD → Applications

Or:

1. Open Finder
2. Locate FACKER.app (usually in Downloads)
3. Drag it into the Applications folder

⚠️ Why this matters

If you run it from Downloads:

• macOS may restrict permissions
• app behavior may be inconsistent
• security warnings may appear more often

Running from Applications ensures proper execution

▶️ Step 2 — Launch the App

• Open Applications
• Double-click FACKER
• If prompted:
  • Click Open

🔐 If macOS blocks it

If you see:

“FACKER can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer”

Fix:

1. Go to System Settings
2. Privacy & Security
3. Scroll down
4. Click Open Anyway

🎮 How to Use FACKER

Once launched:

1. User Setup

You will be asked:

• Your age
• Your name

These inputs control how the simulation behaves.

2. Interactive Choices

You will see buttons like:

• “Ok”
• “I quit”

Your selections affect the script’s flow and tone.

3. Simulation Sequence

FACKER then runs a staged experience:

🧠 System Dialog Phase

• Fake warnings
• “tracking” messages
• dramatic prompts

📷 App Simulation Phase

The app opens:

• Photo Booth (camera “access” illusion)
• Messages (fake message access)
• Mail (fake email access)

⚠️ These are only launched visually — nothing is accessed.

💻 Terminal Sequence

A fake “hacker terminal” opens and displays:

• INITIALIZING...
• SCANNING NETWORK...
• IP FOUND: (your public IP)
• ACCESS GRANTED

This is a visual simulation only.

📡 Final Sequence

• “FOUND YOU!” message
• Voice commands (speech playback)
• IP address displayed again
• Dramatic “RUN” sequence

⚙️ What FACKER Actually Does (Technical Summary)

FACKER is built using AppleScript, which:

• Runs system dialogs
• Uses say (macOS voice engine)
• Opens built-in apps (Terminal, Mail, etc.)
• Executes a web request to get your public IP:

  curl ifconfig.me
  

Important:

Your IP is:

• publicly available information
• not private system data
• only displayed for effect

🎭 Purpose of FACKER

FACKER is designed for:

• 🎮 Entertainment / prank simulation
• 💻 “hacker aesthetic” experiences
• 🧪 AppleScript learning project
• 🎬 cinematic fake system UI effects

⚠️ Safety Notice

FACKER:

• Does not install anything
• Does not modify system files
• Does not collect data
• Does not persist after closing

Everything is temporary and local to the session.

💡 Tips for Best Experience

• Use in a dark room for effect
• Do not multitask while running
• Keep sound on (for voice narration)
• Let Terminal finish sequences fully

🧠 Summary

FACKER is a harmless macOS simulation app that creates a fake “hacker takeover” experience using system dialogs, Terminal animations, and app launches. It is purely visual and for entertainment purposes only.
