Safe decryption, the powerful rating 1 comlink.
Having stolen encrypted data file to decrypt at my leisure I am concerned that it could contain IC or a data bomb, not trusting myself to notice such I load the file onto a cheep rating 1 comlink along with a rating 1 decrypt utility. With some effort (using low end decrypt prog) I crack open the file. The ice or data bomb attempts to run but the system is already running the maximum number of programs. I see 3 possible outcomes. The IC runes, the comlinks response drops to 0, the system may crash or continue to run will all programs (including IC) working at rating 0, thus nothing bad happens to me or my file while I deal with the IC based on my skill alone. The system crashes and with luck I got an idea of where the IC/data bomb is giving me an advantage when I try again (I copied the file). The IC/data bomb fails to run at all because there is no runtime available, i can now read the file at my leisure while the IC waits for the system resources it needs to fry my brain. What do you good people think of this. Edward |
