New GM here. I've done some searching, but haven't found answers to a few hacking/rigging questions. Hopefully someone a bit more familiar with SR4 can help me...
1. It states that standard electronic devices only have admin accounts. What exactly defines a "standard electronic device"? Is a commlink a standard device (thus adding +6 to all attempts to hack a commlink), or does it have the three different levels of access? 2. When hacking a drone, and the drone is on a rigger's subscription list, do you hack into the drone (using the drone's stats); or into the commlink of the rigger controlling the drone (which might have different stats), and from there into the drone? One example would be a patrolling police drone, as mentioned in the "Interacting with AR" sidebar. 3. Do technomancers leave a datatrail that can be tracked, or do they just leave a matrix signature only other technomancers can detect, or both? Any help would be *greatly* appreciated. Thanks... :wobble: |

A little more info on hacking a drone would be helpful, yes. In terms of your PAN, if you slave all of your wireless devices to your commlink (smartgun, cybereyes, whatever), a hacker would have to access your commlink before fiddling with your peripherals. Right? How is this different from a drone that's subscribed to a rigger's commlink? Why would a hacker be able to spoof a drone without going through a rigger's commlink, but not be able to hack the cybereyes of a street sam (when the eyes are slaved to his/her commlink)? Or am I off base here? As for hacking commlinks, judging from some of the other replies, there seems to be some debate on whether or not commlinks have multiple levels of user rights. Seeing as how commlinks are pretty much everywhere, and PCs are almost required to carry them, a little more rules clarification would have been appreciated... Finally, as for technomancers and datatrails, I guess that means a technomancer would have to project some sort of access ID? It's just hard for me to grasp the capabilities of the technomancers... Thanks everyone for the replies. I hope they keep on coming... ;) |
