Spy missions are one of the most hated mission types in all of Warframe. The lower level missions are fairly simple to do. But once you reach Tier 3 ones it starts to get really complicated.
For those that are unfamiliar with this mission type, in it, you have to hack a console to get the encrypted data. Failure to do so in the allotted time given to you will delete the data and call upon a swarm of enemies to kill you.
There are two main types, Grineer, and Corpus. I will be discussing the Corpus one in this guide since Grineer spy consoles are fairly easy and only require you to press the space bar at the right time.
Corpus missions, on the other hand, are far more complicated. Here is an example:
In order to complete it, each line must be pointing to another one. If any of those lines are left hanging you will fail.

In order to solve it properly, we have to break it down into each individual pattern type.
Trident
These are the ones that you have to move FIRST. Always position them to in such a way that the middle line is facing the center hexagon. This applies to all Trident's regardless of their position.
Crossroad
You solve this the exact same way as tridents, except that you just pretend there is a middle line.
V
I don't have a cool name for this pattern so let's just call it V(for Vendetta). Move these After you move the Tridents and Crossroads
There is an order of priority to move these:
a) Look for a Trident next to it. If there is one, make sure one line is connected to that trident and the other is facing the center hexagon.
b) If there is no Trident, make sure one line is facing the center hexagon and the other is connected to the line beside it.
Loner
You move these after all the other shapes. The only pattern you move after it is the center hexagon.
a) First order of priority is to point it toward a still unconnected line of a trident or crossroad
b) If there is none, point it toward the center hexagon. This is rarely the case.
Center Hexagon
This is the centermost pattern. You move it LAST. If you've done all the steps correctly, the puzzle will be solved after you move it several times. Sometimes you won't even have to move it at all.
Here is an example of me solving the patterns. Note that I might not follow the guide in terms of which pattern to move first, that is because I have already gotten used to them. However, the principles on how to move them are followed:
