QUOTE (SpasticTeapot @ May 9 2009, 10:05 AM)  Actually, there's a 100% guaranteed way to keep drones from getting hacked. Run 'em by a tether. I never said it was a particularly practical way... Definitely Impractical... Though Hacking the tether point could still give you control of the drone... |

You could also turn off your drone's wireles capabilities. It would purely run on its own dog brain and provided list of instructions. Downside is, if you need to change your plan (and frankly when don't you), you are shit out of luck.

QUOTE (Tymeaus Jalynsfein @ May 9 2009, 09:58 AM) But that does not meazn that it cannot be hacked... once you are in, you can cause all manner of mayhem to the Jumperd in rigger... Of course, if you are completely hardwired, then no hacking is possible... But then you will not be hacking/rigging outside of the closed network either... Quite right. I later posted "can be intruded on" but did not correct my original post. |

I was wondering...No on mentioned just using EW and jamming the whole dang network. You could do that and still be able to use your stuff provided you have your very own keys and encryption in place to ignore your own jamming. We do it even today.

While this is indeed true, I think that I will let someone else tackle this one...

For one thing, it makes any kind of stealthy approach impossible. In the wireless world of 2070 people tend to notice when all their junk stops working. |

QUOTE (Method @ May 13 2009, 03:20 AM) For one thing, it makes any kind of stealthy approach impossible. In the wireless world of 2070 people tend to notice when all their junk stops working. True but you are trying to stop a huge truck with all of these drones that are really hard to hack on the fly. They are making noise, so you shut them up. At that point there is no need to stealth. Just take out that truck. Well I guess you could just air strike the damn thing and be done with it. A couple of 500lbs bombs should do the trick. Seriously though. I have read the Unwired book and sure as a GM he would get away with that once, Maybe even twice in game. Why? Because he put in all of that prep time to come up with a good plan. But after that you would have to expect that the opposition isn't stupid and will come up with counter measures for just such an action. So sure go ahead and do all of that stuff. I will as the GM...BLOW YOU UP! I have bigger guns I have more people And I have a Gamemaster screen I can cheat if necessary |
