Data items are generally found in pcs, laptops and cellphones. They might also be found as random loot on enemies.
Data items can be read in the library after Doug Schultz awoke and set up his decryption system. (Which happens one day after he awoke) He will wake up the day after you tell Davis Cray that you brought back the medicine. (You will receive a quest for that on day 3)
There are 150 data items to be unlocked, but there are way more that can be found. Each 10 unlocked data items are worth experience as a repeatable goal. Therefore they are a source for some Stat / Skill points and additionally all 150 are needed to unlock the achievment "H4ck3r".
Each of the data items is secured with an password. The "software" provides you with the length of the password and some suggestions.
There are 3 stages of password strenght. The first will set you up with the missing letters, which you have to set to the right order like this: The missing letters are "een" and the word has 5 letters. The set letters are Qu_ _ _.
This would naturally lead to the password "Queen".
The next stage is similar to the first but instead has l33t speak in it. That means that some letters are replaced by numbers. 3 = e 4 = A 5 = s 8 = B Watch out, in the game the number 1 and the small L (l) look extremly similar.
The third stage is way more difficult. It mixes l33t speak in BUT it won't tell you what the missing letters are. Just some set letters (often in l33t speak) and the right length. This can be quite exhausting but, the missing letters will never be in l33t speak!
The passwords are as following: (further pws will be added later)
