Hey, I've got kind of a complex question regarding cyberware and its link to the Matrix.
Much like a hacker/technomancer can take over someone's drones, is it possible for them to also take over someone else's cyberware? I admit to having only skimmed the rules thus far, but it's a question I'm sure will come up. How exactly would someone hack into a piece of cyberware to control it? Through the owner's PAN/Commlink first? Would it be at least two separate tests (one for commlink, one for cyberware)? |

everything has wifi, even people's underwear. So everything can be hacked if the target is careless enough to leave them exposed.
two ways to hack a guy cyber: 1. The target is a retard and has it subbed to his comm. The hacker then hacks the targets comm and has access from there. 2. the hacker is within 0 signal range (a couple of meters) and can skip the commlink and go straight for the goodies. ways to stop it: 1. turn all the wifi on the cyber you want to keep safe OFF. Uhh thats the only way i know of to stop it lol. Some things I have read hinted at just making the stuff run in hidden mode but hidden stuff can be hacked still so I dont know how that is safe. |

You could try putting a really nice firewall on it. Talk to the resident hacker.

Nah, I like creating my own threads to just add to the confusion. I'm subversive to your sensibilities that way. |

some ice may help to. hmm, i wonder. if a pan is one whole node, and a limb is part of said pan, would any patroling ice go after anyone trying to hack the limb? could save on the ice costs (if your not a dirty thieving pirate that is). |

Well personally I've always been fond of using a Betagrade skinlink capable Datajack as a really nasty chokepoint to the rest of my ware when I actually have a reason to connect my cyber to my wireless PAN as opposed to my seperate skinlinked PAN. :cyber:
