I stumbled on this paragraph: Wi-Fi Detection its on page 256.
It say that security will more likely than not be scanning for hidden networks, since an unknow hidden network equals an intruder. Now this seems reasonable, in fact having seen it, I cannot imagine matrix security not doing something like this. Now scanning for hidden networks in generel is on page 225 under Detecting Wireless Networks: Electronic Warfare + Scan (15+, 1 Combat Turn). Lets say you have an automated system with good rating concidering a starting or low Karma team that would be a dice pool of 8. Lets just do the convert to hits meaning 2 hits each combat turn. So after 8 combat turns the system have found and possibly triangulated the location of the intruders. In other words do to this rules you either have to hack into the system and stop the scanning or you will fail unless you can do the run in 8 combat turns or less. Now you can also choose to go primitive and not use any Wi-Fi at all and more and more points me into the direction that Shadowrunners should use no Wi-Fi in most cases. Any comments, something I have misunderstood? |
