I've been reading a lot of Unwired recently in an attempt to better understand all things Matrix. I've been reading about slaving and I had an idea, but I'm not sure how it plays out.
If I have Commlink 1 plugged into a datajack, and everything I want connected to it either wired in or skinlinked then that'd be unhackable, correct? (Unless someone was touching me) If I then have a second commlink slaved to the first, and connected to it by cable, but wireless and matrix connected, how would it be hacked? You have to hack the master to reach the slave, but the master is unreachable unless you can hack back to it through the second device? I aren't sure. Thats why I'm asking. It's more of a thought that came to me rather than something likely to come up in a game, but I was musing over it and thought I'd ask. Cheers for any insights |
