This isn't something I've ever had to bother with much in past editions of SR but it seems like drones have become cheaper and there's no real reason for anyone with a comlink not to use one...or is there?!?

Taking the drone rigger from the rulebook as an example, how easy would it be for a corp spider to turn his drones against him? If he's jumped in then it means cybercombat in the drone node right (and therefore probably not worth the effort)? Otherwise it's a case of spoofing or outright taking over the drone. How easy is it to find the drone's node on the matrix for example (still new to this wireless world as you can see (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sarcastic.gif) ) and then tinker with its programming?

Thanks very much
