Hi
in a german online forum someone claimed that a TMs Head essentially is a node and thus vulnerable to Intruder attacks. Is it really possible to hack into someones brain, by simply using ordinary Programs designed to crack open computer hardware? I find this very hard to believe...what do you think? |

I would make a snide remark about the Matrix or Johnny Mneumonic, but I won't.... ;)

You still don't hack The Brain - you hack an HAL compatible to normal matrix usage.

Funny, I thought someone would have made a comment about the poor guy's ghost being hacked by the Laughing Man...
"I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes..." :D- |

It doesn't work like that, or otherwise you could hack the persona of a hacker. Having a hacker appearing in front of in the matrix doesn't let you hack his commlink, you still need to find it and hack it directly if you want access. A technomancer has a (living) persona, but no attached commlink. Like the persona of a hacker, he's crashable, as you can take the persona down with Blackhammer etc, but you can't actually hack it directly |
