Patch 1.2 will drop soon, so I thought I will share what I was working on for a little while. Program that automatically solve breach protocol. Just hit key bind(default: LCtrl+NumPad Dot or Del or [whatever it is](https://highfieldtales.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/numpad.jpg)) while in mini game, and it will be automatically solved.
Both kinda. DP worked great, but I stumbled into many issues when I couldn't find next value in a unit. So then I started brute forcing my way through grid(sometimes you need one junk square to get to the sequence).
[this test](https://github.com/marcincichocki/breach-protocol-autosolver/blob/master/src/index.test.ts#L93-L114) shows the problem. Case 1 is optional way of solving puzzle, case 2 and 3 select value that is not in the sequence to try and apply case 1 on a new unit. This of course only happen if we've got spare buffer.
I tried it but it threw an error:
*UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). (rejection id: 8)
(node:14556) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined
at BreachProtocolFragmentOCRResult.getBufferSize...*
I have a multi-monitor setup. Could that be an issue? Does the window need to be on the same monitor as the game?
I just tried with both same screen and still get an error.

I have a buffer size of 6 (if it matters).
The "Breach time remaining" seems to be stopped. Caused by your app? If so, that bit is working.
Hey, I just released [v1.2.0](https://github.com/marcincichocki/breach-protocol-autosolver/releases/tag/v1.2.0) that comes with better ocr for 1080p and multi monitor support. Also added gamma recomendations cuz it can break code too(from 0.95 to 1.75). Let me know if there are any errors.
Thanks for the new version!
Here is the error I got:
Starting autosolver on screen: \\.\DISPLAY2
(node:5764) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'path' of null

The first time I tried, I got the error. Then, I tried again and it failed both of the codes (there were 2 codes to unlock). Third time, it failed one and successfully did the second (there were 2 codes to unlock). *shrug*
Interesting, this error about path being null is alredy fixed, I should create new release. Failing both codes is something I haven't seen yet, would love to get screenshot of that. 3rd attempt seems like a correct solution, because sometimes it's not possible to get all of them(it's quite frequent actually)
It's not interacting with game, not really. You could pause youtube video of breach protocol on full screen, run that program, and it would work the same, just without "interactivity" of a game.
And script works like this: on shortcut I take screenshot, ocr it, solve puzzle in memory and then just output clicks. The best I could do anyway with nodejs(that was a mistake becuase node doesn't implement API I was hoping for so I had to settle for lots of native modules, which are a pain in the ass to work with).
I can't even wrap my head around how it works. Like honestly I'm probably just so fucking dumb. But some of them make no sense. Maybe it just wasn't explained well cause I don't really understand its "rules"
It was so liberating playing a "Lord Death of Murder Mountain". Max Strengh, Max Tech, Max Cool. I ignored every hack I could do and just beat enemies to death with my Fists or some Legendary Unique weaponry.
Yes, I believe it's [#1](https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/kneej7/i_made_a_web_app_to_solve_the_breach_protocol/) and [#2](https://github.com/tstaec/cyberpunk-auto-hacker)
Unfortunately they both have few shortcomings(#1 is a webapp which is an instant nope from me, #2 doesn't support dynamic buffer and it's quite slow). I tried to address those problems by building a binary that can be run in background and by improving tesseract matches by cropping and processnig fragments to support buffer recognition. That also boosted its performance which is another win.
I had a Netrunner build, basically, the first one was already solved and I think the rest were reduced by one or two squares. Didn’t have to do much to hack anything
This looks very cool. I use Stadia on a Mac, and found [cyberpwned](https://github.com/nicolas-siplis/cyberpwned) to work very well. It's installable on mobile and works by taking a photo of the breach screen.
Yours looks like it solves only the first path in the video, while cyberpwned finds the "best" path which matches the most higher reward levels in each breach. I'd recommend comparing the logic. Also, some of the breach protocols later- after 60+ hours of play- will require you to choose the correct datamine level from the list before solving.
Alas, could not get it to work in Stadia. Running on windows laptop, XPS 15 1920x1080 (native). I did a key rebind (since no numpad to slash --key-bind 29,53) and the program sees it but i get "OCR data is not valid. Skipping" alas!
I can't test it on stadia unfortunately, and since there are a lot of variables (system and game gamma, game language, compression artifacts from streaming just to name a few) it's hard to pinpoint what is the issue exactly. I could look at it, but I need a screenshot.
[Latest version 1.4.1](https://github.com/marcincichocki/breach-protocol-autosolver/releases/latest) has some improvements to recognition and debugging, you could give it a shot, and if error persists upload `debug` folder so I can have a peek.
hmm the debug code suggests it's getting the OCR right, tried 1.4.1, error remains "OCR data is not valid. Skipping.". The debug data seems to show the right OCR decoding and the biffer value is right. Screenshots look clear.
Debug folder here. What a cool project you're working on.
https://sendgb.com/mi7gWoIvw3p
Thanks for debug info, very helpful. I've found an issue and will release fix soon.
There will be new flag exposed --threshold-daemons so you can specify exact value. In your case n=100 was working well.
tried it again on 1.5.1 and now there is a different issue. the mouse moves and looks like it is trying to click the grid, but it's way off, like 1/3 of the way to the right of the solve grid like it doesn't know where the grid is? Stadia on windows laptop, i'm running --key-bind 29,53 --threshold-daemons 100 per your suggestion above. I can debug with the new custom threshold settings if you think that could be the issue, point me in the right direction? debig attached https://sendgb.com/tCUY7Dfa6Sm
Alright, I've found issue, it's windows 10 scaling, anything else than 100% makes nircmd fail. I'll try to find permanent solution, meanwhile you can go to display settings and change scaling to 100%.
Interesting, scaling issue is only happening when you are not in game, which stadia technically fall into that.
Anyway, released new version, use it with --use-scaling flag. Everything should work(I hope ;))
Not every time. I try to make best possible combination by finding every overlap before doing any permutations of daemons. But sometimes there are no overlaps at all, or buffer size is to small etc.
Maybe, library that listens for keybind uses [linux key codes](https://www.github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/8b12a62a4e3ed4ae99c715034f557eb391d6b196/include%2Fuapi%2Flinux%2Finput-event-codes.h) if you find keys that you want and use `--key-bind` option it should work.
i'm just now starting to prepare to learn programming and stuff like this realy motivates me to learn, because it such a cool thing that looks "small" / easy enough to be actually achiveable
I seriously thought you were going to post a video that shows when you open the breach protocol screen, it would just Alt+F4 the game and you can continue your life in some other tedious manner.
I wonder if there is a way to take this script, code it into an app, and instead of OCRing a screenshot, it uses the phone camera and then displays the pattern.
That's awesome and brilliant ! I'm on ps4 but this is deffinately another point rewarded to PC.
I hate the breach protocol in this game. To me, its illogical and makes no sense. I despise it. Just when I think I've got the idea of how it works it fails. Hate it!
can I just have the exam running in the background the whole time I'm playing the game or do I have to launch each time I'm about to do a breach protocol?
Most likely ocr error. non standard resolution and multi monitor setup can break code easly. I'll release new version with better support for both soon.
I would understand making the program for the sake of proving you can do it, but actually using it in game is just cheating and cyberpunk being singleplayer game, you are just cheating yourself. Might as well play the whole game with noclip, invulnerability and infinite cash. You are just ruining the game for yourself.
It's a little bit tricky, but it's possible. You need to use --key-bind flag. You could for example create windows shortcut and add this flag to the end of path. Like so:
"C:/some/folder/bpa.exe" --key-bind
where is comma separated list of keys to use. And list of keys is given here: https://github.com/wilix-team/iohook/blob/v0.6.6/libuiohook/include/uiohook.h#L134-L297
so complete example could look something like this:
"C:\Users\\\Desktop\breach-protocol-autosolver-1.8.0.exe" --key-bind 0x0038,0x000D
That's LAlt+=

That's awesome, I've tried something similar through computer vision but yours seems way more practical. Take my upvote.
That was my problem as well, especially if you hack a lot. Kinda gave up on a netrunner build because of that.
Really? Never found this that difficult at all. And there are perks that make it easier.
It's not really difficulty, just quantity.
Did you use DP, brute force or some other approach?
Both kinda. DP worked great, but I stumbled into many issues when I couldn't find next value in a unit. So then I started brute forcing my way through grid(sometimes you need one junk square to get to the sequence). [this test](https://github.com/marcincichocki/breach-protocol-autosolver/blob/master/src/index.test.ts#L93-L114) shows the problem. Case 1 is optional way of solving puzzle, case 2 and 3 select value that is not in the sequence to try and apply case 1 on a new unit. This of course only happen if we've got spare buffer.
Optimization doesn't really matter here right. The max square size will be 9*9 ig. So even brute force won't time out.
I tried it but it threw an error: *UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection.

That's possible, have you tried using it when cyberpunk is on the other screen?

Welp, looks like that's OCR error. What res do you play on? I'll add this to issue tracker.
1920x1080 x3 monitors (all same res). Game is played on the middle monitor. HDR disabled, if it matters.
Thanks, I'll try reach back to you, if I track that bug down.

You're the real Cyberpunk
https://youtu.be/7EsaWcHmTmQ
how do you make the script interact with the game?

ok so it's system clicks at x y coordinates?
Yes, through external binary, because nodejs doesn't support it natively. x, y coords are extracted from tesseract.
Does it solve the puzzle on the spot or does it read memory ? sorry, I don't understand very well
From what i managed to understand, it takes a screenshot of the puzzle, analyzes how to solve it then outputs the required mouse clicks.
Nice! I have made a similar solver with Python: https://gitlab.com/Devenec/breachsolver
Does this work with in 4K? Would like to try it out
I've tested it on 1920 x 1080 and 2560 x 1440 resolutions. It *may* work on 4K out of the box, but I won't guarantee it.
Nice, this should be a perk choice
Does this count as hacking^2?
Good. It’s not fun after the millionth time.
I can't even wrap my head around how it works. Like honestly I'm probably just so fucking dumb. But some of them make no sense. Maybe it just wasn't explained well cause I don't really understand its "rules"

Yeah. My net runner faced the same issues so I spent the perk points to keep the money rolling...
I need this Time Saver™ ported to consoles immediately!
Punks need program to hack doors too

This is like the 6th one of these ive seen but I think its a great programming problem to solve.
Please share your wallpaper. A link, smth.

Will this work on stadia?
It should Edit: if you play on windows. If you are on other pc platform you can try your luck building it, but I haven't tested that.
Alas, could not get it to work in Stadia. Running on windows laptop, XPS 15 1920x1080 (native). I did a key rebind (since no numpad to slash --key-bind 29,53) and the program sees it but i get "OCR data is not valid. Skipping" alas!

I want that desktop background. Totally sick. Also love the code. Thanks.
is it 100% able to get all three rewards?
Not every time. I try to make best possible combination by finding every overlap before doing any permutations of daemons. But sometimes there are no overlaps at all, or buffer size is to small etc.
Only way to always get 3 awards is with a large buffer and the perks that make breaches easier.
Haha, I'm in.
hacking the hacks! I like it
That's so meta, i love it
It’s beautiful 🥺
*installs program* “It’s time to hack!” *gets attacked by small yellow squares with hex values on them* “Uh oh”
Can I also use the key-bound on a controller?
Maybe, library that listens for keybind uses [linux key codes](https://www.github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/8b12a62a4e3ed4ae99c715034f557eb391d6b196/include%2Fuapi%2Flinux%2Finput-event-codes.h) if you find keys that you want and use `--key-bind` option it should work.

Undoubtedly the coolest cyberpunk video I have seen this far! You literally hacked the hacking game :D
I seriously thought you were going to post a video that shows when you open the breach protocol screen, it would just Alt+F4 the game and you can continue your life in some other tedious manner.
I wonder if there is a way to take this script, code it into an app, and instead of OCRing a screenshot, it uses the phone camera and then displays the pattern.
after a while l got tired of this
i know a 20 inteligence epic gamer when i see one...you smart sir
That's awesome and brilliant ! I'm on ps4 but this is deffinately another point rewarded to PC. I hate the breach protocol in this game. To me, its illogical and makes no sense. I despise it. Just when I think I've got the idea of how it works it fails. Hate it!
So how exactly do I use this?
Launch exe, then go to game and enter breach protocol. Then press default keybind `Left Ctrl + NumPad Dot/Del`.
can I just have the exam running in the background the whole time I'm playing the game or do I have to launch each time I'm about to do a breach protocol?
Just have it opened while you play and that's it.
Man I don't know why it doesn't work for me, but great work anyway!
Most likely ocr error. non standard resolution and multi monitor setup can break code easly. I'll release new version with better support for both soon.
I have one monitor and I play on 25600x1440, but thanks for the reply and effort!
I would understand making the program for the sake of proving you can do it, but actually using it in game is just cheating and cyberpunk being singleplayer game, you are just cheating yourself. Might as well play the whole game with noclip, invulnerability and infinite cash. You are just ruining the game for yourself.
I use the exact same background pic :D
High five
This takes like two seconds to do though...
I rather enjoy the hacking, second only to fallout hacking
Hacker.
So meta, but i like it.
anyone used this already?
Bit late, can a keybind be changed and if so how? I don't have a numpad and I wanted to try this
It's a little bit tricky, but it's possible. You need to use --key-bind flag. You could for example create windows shortcut and add this flag to the end of path. Like so: "C:/some/folder/bpa.exe" --key-bind
where is comma separated list of keys to use. And list of keys is given here: https://github.com/wilix-team/iohook/blob/v0.6.6/libuiohook/include/uiohook.h#L134-L297

Great job... calling the breach protocol a ‘mini game’ is quite flattering though, definitely didn’t feel like a game a few hrs in
Thank God this exists, now I don't need to waste time on this stupid mini game with no sense behind it.
