I guess what I'm wondering, does the spoof program (since its a program) count as a potential vector by which a trojan can access your own node? In this case, as noted, the node is the smartlink command functions that have instead been layered with said trojans. The intention is a trapped door, even if you flash a fake id to open it up, the act of opening it up sets off the trap right? Or is that out of the realm of whats possible via matrix?
Kinda like oldschool tar-baby or something |

as the persona doing the spoofing do not need to be inside the target node at the time of the spoof, there is no way for any virus to infect the spoof program (trojans are potential virus carriers, not viruses themselves. Their name comes from the trojan horse).

Unless someone was trying to full hack your smartgun node, but then I guess you'd just load IC instead. |
