All right Snake. With the help of Omar you were able to hack through the firewall on security accounts in two complex actions. the node reached threshold of 8 in his analyze attempts meaning that Omar has been spotted but not you. The node is on general alert and on restricted alert against Omar.

Since the goal was to get you inside it would be smart for Omar to log off and run.

[Sichr]

consider it done.

[Sentinemodo]

I've updated the node entry post.
Sichr you got two options now. Spoofing the trace or physically running away before they'll finish it.

[snake_eyes]

Inside the node Mouse was looking around. Immediately after the alarm two security hackers were scrambled fully loaded with offensive software. They are sculpted like the Shaolin Monks assuming battle stances. There are two IC present sculpted like a ghosts or spirits of air. Closer inspection would be needed to identify their purpose and loaded software.

You got five combat turns (15 complex actions) breathing space before they'll find out it was two of you hacking in. they will know so after the access log will be updated. until that you expect them to run trace on Omar and sniff around to see if he managed to do any damage before he left

Any way to deal with my trace in memory before it's written to the log files? I'm thinking that if the data is not logged, they probably won't know I'm here. Machine sprite, maybe?

Can I analyze their icons w/o alerting them to my presence?

How long would it take to create another security account and spoof a log in command by one of the spiders access id. The thought being that they would be less likely to remove an account "used by one of their own" which could buy me another way in.

Can my Sleuth Sprite erase my data trail?

Is it necessary to deal with the spiders and agents or can i slip past them on to Red Wire's node?

[snake_eyes]

Kour JDA is there anything you're doing meanwhile?

befor i go in i would like to recieve a answear from Omar
either he does the data search or he does not, still just waiting.
then infiltration in a way or other.

Kour, what question(s) are you waiting on?

i asked to do a data search on the event that is taking place inside the mall, to see if i can use it as cover to get in, as infiltrating without my suit and no armour would be an invitation to kill me in an instant.

1. Any way to deal with my trace in memory before it's written to the log files? I'm thinking that if the data is not logged, they probably won't know I'm here. Machine sprite, maybe?

2. Can I analyze their icons w/o alerting them to my presence?

3. How long would it take to create another security account and spoof a log in command by one of the spiders access id. The thought being that they would be less likely to remove an account "used by one of their own" which could buy me another way in.

4. Can my Sleuth Sprite erase my data trail?

5. Is it necessary to deal with the spiders and agents or can i slip past them on to Red Wire's node?

1. The trace is already being written. The reason they don't yet know about two entrances is that there is massive amount of data being logged every second, and the browsing tools need dome time to process it. to remove it from the access log you'd need write access to the access log and for that you'd need admin priviledges.

2. yes

3. one complex action to create the account (mind that it would be logged in the access log that this account was created by your access-id). one more to find security hacker access id in the current priviledges table, one more complex action to spoof log in command.

4. he would need to accomplish point 1.

5. you can slip past them - no problem about it. one action to log one to red wire node with security priviledges.

[snake_eyes]

Not sure how you will want to handle the bot-net creation process or how it determines the information pulled back or any combat that may occur before they decide to reboot the nexus node.
One CA down 14 to go.
Now what kind of goodies do we have in Red Wire's node? Looking for hidden nodes and other misc matrix perception (2 simple actions):

Computer(4)+Analyze(5)+2TM-2(sustaining) hidden nodes, general:9d6.hits(5)=4, 9d6.hits(5)=3
13 CAs left.

[Sentinemodo]

not sure yet about the botnets. i need to reread that part and then we will resolve. the initial issue is that the account can be used by a single entity at any given moment so you first need to create another one for the sprite to allow him starting up programs on node resources. this will consume one action. starting up the program will take another. after that i need to read

i'll do so tommorow. pdf reader got fixed today on blackberry playbook and i can finally read my books

[JDA]

Will post in a couple of hours. Need sleep.

[Sentinemodo]

ok. botnets need preparations to  be used. sprite will try to create one by loadng up programs as soon as possible.

he have come up with the following script for each new agent:
1. after loading load up a copy of yourself
2. load armor
3. load attack
4. if attacked retaliate else load copy of yourself

to allow the sprite to use node resources you need to create an account for the sprite with security priviledges this is software + edit(2) test
this will take one complex action to complete. you don't have the time to hide it, but there is no need for that as well.

Sprite has no agent program nor the attack/armor programs so it will use the ones used by the node.

if that is ok. we'll proceed. you may make initiative rolls for you and a Sprite as well.

Omar continues probing Diamond.

[JDA]

Okay, an incredible week of all kinds of distractions, but am ready to get back to the game. Ryker pms team " I'm going in chummers"

[Kouryuu]

the matrix will take just a few seconds right so in RP sense it would make sense to wait for the 'trix fight to end.

[Sentinemodo]

true. matrix scenes can drag for a while. Snake how do you feel about doing this on skype or gtalk?

btw. did you notice new theme on the forum? i am constantly logged on but today i've changed machines and entered the forum without logging on to see something decent actually. they installed it probably the same time as they broken the grey theme.
