I search for a way to get some invites.

Thats a good one

Okay well need some kind of tactical before entering. Headcount, Sams querry responded, security network breaches etc. We have enought time to even probe the network.
Well there is one thing we need to know first

Where is the chip
Did I missed its location in descriprion? Or the only thing we know is that it is inside the building (  )

3)Locate server
4) Create distraction while Sam is stealing the thing

No doubt

Guys, I got few thoughts on the current matrix rules in play.
Strong encryption, makes most of the hacks virtually unplayable.

I mean that it does not take a rocket development engineer degree, to install and run encrypt on everything with 24 hours interval.
I've been a little liberal with this, judging in some cases that people without technical knowledge might not do so , but it's gonna be the case for any node, that have even most dumb security hacker....

I'm considering dropping that rule, and revert to normal encryption to improve gameplay.

The other though regards the cyberware, drones and other stuff that is considered peripheral node. those nodes do not have capacity to be encrypted at all, unless they are specifically upgraded with node.

thoughts/opinions?

Welll. Encryption key is possible to obtain from some other source. I think that this would demand us to play smart...pickpocket someones commlink, disable it and use its AcessID, find the part of the network with lowest Response rating pickpocket someones commlink, , since it willl run low rating encryption, but with the same key...at least for user account etc.  Influence and mind control spells and spirit powers also apply...like "Send encryption key to this commcode" etc... IMO story tool

BTW...Im quite sure that passive or hidden nodes cannot be targetted by Spam :p

yes they can

1. they can find you (finding hidden node, is only matter of time)
2. they can bypass your filters (passive mode is just a filter anyway)

[Sichr]

bypassing the filter means beating the firewall IMO...but I like the view on the spammed street...just not surer if that cannot be avoided by experienced hacker...

Knowlage rolls 3 in 1
Yakuza Denver 2 hits/7d

among the various thigns you recall:

• To get on the invitation list, a Yakuza member must sponsor you. Technically, this means that a verified Yakuza member must come with you or add you to the invitation list using valid credentials on the parlor server.
• The entrance itselft is free.
• Prostitute services start at 100 nuyen per hour.

Mouse, you had the access code to Yoshiros com, can you use it to get us invited?
Or we could ask mayuri's lover to do it. And of coyrse if you search you will find a individual selling invites, just need to do the data search.

"Finding a person that will put you on invite list" using matrix search.
the test is DataSearch skill + Browse program + (optionally) VR bonus
since this is a simple query, matrix wide, it's a complex action in length.
I'm affraid though that the treshold is 5.

There is a little problem so far with finding that one.

just treat it like a background count of sort. basically the link is busy filtering the spam, it is not a complete DOS but it is reducing it's Response rating. I didn't wan't to put the modifier on response tests only only though, because each time you interact with other nodes (either to hack it, or simply use) you open yourself just a bit for the spam to try to get through the filters, hence there is a -1 to all matrix actions.
