Hey. New to the boards and all that. Used to play a little SR3, and just bought SR4.
Now, if I understand correctly (might not, I bought the book yesterday), though the whole world is wireless most secure locations are protected by some sort of wallpaper or paint that blocks out/in wireless signals, and most proper security is still hardwired. At least that seems to be popular opinion on these boards. So, basically, hackers need to go in with the team to do his work. Much like in a lot of SR3, when everything was wired. However, I had this idea to keep him outside, if that's what the hacker wants. Dunno if it will work, and I couldn't quite find the right gear for the job. Anyway, here goes: Hacker sits outside the location, operating from the regular Matrix 2.0 from wherever he wants to. The characters on location carry with them a small piece of equipment consisting of a transmitter, a cable, and a transmitter. They plant one transmitter – programed to accept the hackers signal, nothing else – outside the building, and plant the other one inside. The two transmitters are connected by the cable, and the hacker has now bypassed the wallpaper without having to take a step. The crew inside can go about and plant more of these as necessary, even wiring them into hardwired security systems, giving the hacker access to what he needs. The thing could even be thrown in through a window, a vent or something by a tiny drone during office times, allowing the hacker to roam the site (assuming he has the right codes, skills, programs and such) in broad daylight without any runners having to actually infiltrate the building. So you get: Hacker – receiver – cable – sender – inside network Would this work? Major issues? |
