Or we could ask mayuri's lover to do it.

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

Mayuri would know how

[Kouryuu]

Knowlage rolls 3 in 1
Denver Gangs 1 hit/8d
Yakuza Denver 2 hits/7d
Triads Denver 3 hits/7d
If Sam is satisfied with the knowledge he has he will take a nap for the drive if not then he will do some more data searched

does he know anything about the triad attack on the last yakuza data center?
any presence of triads in the area of the target?
any other gangs showing presence

[Sentinemodo]

Nothing in particular on the Triads, past the normal gang wars activites in Denver.

other gangs in the area:
top-tiers are
Godz (of course) - go-gang roaming all over Pueblo, orignating from now-defunct Ute sector
Ghost riders - another go-gang roaming PCC

second-tier are
Zombies - thrill gang
Dambusters - go-gang

thrd tier
Komun'go/Dogmen/First Nations - smuggling/thrill gangs

This particular area is claimed by Yakuza of course, but this is a patch of no more then few blocks radius.

As far as the encryption goes, I would think that there would be some limitations based on the nodes hardware ratings. A really tough encryption would require more resources in order to run the encryption/decryption algorithims (the tougher the encryption/the more resources.) Despite "today's" resources, there are still limits.

from my experience
encryption slows down processes on the pc, if you keep the whole sys encrypted every file needs to be decrypted and encrypted and then again - making the system a slowpoke. single files you use rarely like information storage can have heavy decryption because they do not need to be accessed by the system for everyday functions.

hope you get my idea. :|

There is a cost - it's called response.
You need one copy of the encrypt rpogram to encrypt node then the other to encrypt communication. If you don't have them optimized it takes half of the processing power you usualy have add analyze,and stealth and if you have less then 6 response you're already on the verge of loosing one point.

There is no other cost though, and I see no reason that everybody shouldn't be using it. If they have computer skill level 2 it's a must.

The real problem is that it makes hacking on the fly practically impossible, and I do like hacking on the fly.

Ive got only two things to say

Are there any unanswered questions left?

If no, IC please what do you do. Everybody is online often enough to push the action further...

just doing some thinking on the best approach, either blow stuff up to make them panic,
or infiltrate do it stealth
or mixed
or just let the guys jump coms until they get to the server, these days you do not have to be present to hack something

also i think we could call Dean the hacker i have my sin from, he might be interested in the server for some gains as well some Yakuza secrets you know

but i lack time to make up a bigger post ATM

Just so you don't worry that you'll be bored during this run, Hackers alone would be unable to complete it. You've got GM's word on it.

[Sentinemodo]

guns smokin', doors blowing out, server ripped from the floor ... that approach hasn't been tried yet in any of the previous runs
shall we start rollin'?

[Netzgeist]

Is Lips able to cast Orgy? 'Cause that would be so fitting...

[Sentinemodo]

The AR looks. Interestingin that it has half naked manga-like babes
You didn't spot anything dangerous from. Tthe ccode perspective, but it might be your tiredness and or spam load.

Thats doable

The bouncer that's controlling entry...how is he checking for people with references? I'm thinking about either hacking a couple of people in line and either copying or borrowing their invitation. My character should be able to determine if that's feasible.
