more questions about the matrix Options

[makari]

I keep having little questions and for some I find answers pretty quickly but i figured I'd start this post to help me get some input and clarification on these things.

1. if I spoof a command for a drone to slave itself to my commlink instead of it's current node... and it works, he is now slaved to my commlink, does this mean that he now recognized my personal commlink admin account as his master? or would I still need to spoof commands or hack an account in order to control him? also, when the drone switches to be slaved to my commlink what happens from the security riggers point of view? does the drone just dissappear from his network so that he would need to scan for the signal and start from scratch to get that drone back?

2. can spoofed commands be given a timer? so you could spoof a series of drones to all slave themselves to your commlink in 20 seconds giving you time to issue the orders to all your targets and then setup a jammer so that all the drones switch to your control and then a jammer goes off hopefully killing the security riggers connection? if you give a spoofed command a 20 second timer, is there a reasonable chance that security personel might notice the spoofed command before it goes off? or would it not register as anything unusual until after it went off?

3. If I have hacked into a node and want to checkout what forms of protection is has and how they are configured how would I do this? a simple matrix perception test? at what level? my main goal would probably be to find out if there is an active security hacker or rigger, and if so where he is physically and what programs he has available... so how would I go about that without setting any alarms off?

4. for run assistance, lets say a stereotypical warehouse break in, lets say there's a spider with a network of security camera's, door controls, and various freight drones and maybe 1-2 surveilance or combat drones. so we're planning the run and I'm the hacker going to clear the way for the party... is it possible to hack in, make an account, and then do things like loop camera's, open and close doors, have a drone load our cargo for us... without the spider noticing? I dont see how but I'm curious.. and if I'm right and it's not really feasable(sp?) then what's my best option for taking out the spider, or atleast taking control long enough to do the run?

Thanks for your input, you guys are really helping me understand the whole matrix section much better

I'll be adding more questions as they come up
