I apologize if this has been asked before, but could not find answers.

SR4A Page 235:

"In order to hack a node, you must either be within mutual Signal range of the target node's device or have an open subscription with the node through the Matrix."

and

SR4A Page 224:

"Subscribing to a node is a Complex Action (Log On, p. 231)."

and

SR4A Page 231:

"LOG ON (SYSTEM)

You open a subscription to a node, and your icon appears there. This requires no test, but does require either the proper authentification to an account (such as a passcode) or a hacked account."


So how do I hack into a node across the country?? I am not in mutual signal range, and I need a subscription before I can hack into it, but need to hack into it before I can establish an account to log on! Can I log on with a Public Account (not considered a subscription) and then try and hack a user/security/admin account? That however invalidates the statement from page 235.

Please help
