Understanding Access Codes
Access Codes are secure digital keys that control access to specific zones, simulations, or restricted environments within HackaByte. They ensure a progressive, permission-based structure for each participant.

Types of Access Codes
- Permanent: Unlimited use; grants core access to standard challenges and tools.
- Time-Limited: Valid only during specific hours or events; ideal for timed tests.
- Usage-Limited: Allows a limited number of attempts to access a resource or simulation.
Why Are Access Codes Important?
Access codes maintain integrity, security, and progression throughout the HackaByte platform. Without them, users would be able to jump ahead or enter areas without proving their readiness. They’re essential for:
- Enforcing permission boundaries
- Regulating timed or limited-access challenges
- Unlocking premium or hidden features
How to Use an Access Code
Step 1: Obtain Code
Codes may be given via email, event dashboards, or earned through challenges. Keep it secure.
Step 2: Navigate to Entry
Visit the simulation or restricted tool you want to access. The code prompt will appear.
Step 3: Input & Validate
Enter your 6-digit access code. If valid, your permissions are updated instantly.
Step 4: Start Mission
Once validated, the environment will unlock. Prepare your tools and begin your mission.
Step 5: Code Tracking
Each use is logged to your profile. Usage-limited codes will decrement with each attempt.
