two sux

Oh, in sewer room btw 🙂

AH! Oh, it's a SHE. chuckle Cool. Okay. Not being a hacker myself, what I can think of off the top of my head, is that he frequently uploads his data to an external drive. he also has a wipe program that can be triggered remotely, but that's like blowing up your own house to keep someone from stealing the family jewels, a last resort. In this case, 2 successes mean she gets in -- is she looking for anything in particular? He has a home server, but his laptop is used most frequently, and is likely easier to hack, since it's a tool.

He also has an annoying habit of naming his files completely off the wall things.

Well, I gave her a dice pool of 8 (Still possible ) and a merit for hacking just to give the poor dear a chance

For example, a guy he did work for that was a real skinflint, he might name, "That cheap asshole's porn collection"

g Coolness.

Back and here!

I'd say she gets into his laptop, and can poke around. She finds work files, and the company he -- works for? Is called I.C.E.D iT, LLC, but if she checks it traces to a New York PO box, and a KC physical shipping address; a discrepancy.

Is she looking for profitable info, or personal info?

WB, Shades!

This is Ego stuff. She wants to hack others to prove she can 🙂

chuckle So she needs something that she can't get publicly. Hmm.

2 successes got her in; his work files are not protected further. She can find out a list of his clients, and possibly some credit card info. His notes on the customers, and the aforementioned files that are named as personal insults; apparently this guy takes data from clients that try to rip him off. I assume his personal files are trapped; if you don't succeed in getting past the password request, it tries to upload a virus to the accessing computer.

3 sux his personal... long enough to put in her own greeting... but she now has to make another roll to avoid getting backtraced?

Sounds about right; that I think is a contested roll, since she is actually trying to let him know she was there. 🙂

More of a gift waiting forh im was the idea, but by all means, his virus going probably lets him also know 'hey I'm going to destroy an intruder...thought you might want to know ' 🙂

Oh she failed!

8 dice and she failed. Sad

Even spent a wP

nod She got 3 suxx to hack his passwords, let me see how many he had to set up the defense and virus? And this is a nasty thieving virus.

Sure.

I think her current reaction fits either way 🙂

Nope, she got in easily.

Let me see if the virus was any good.

Cobra Baroness (Nosferatu Hacker): "There we go... Cobra Baroness is the best..." She plants something, then curses "Fuck Fuck fuck" Desperately she begins to tap away trying to close and isolate the incoming virus "No no no no..."

Oh ~ count as strike lines in here

Huh

L 2 succcesses. It crashes her drive, but she is able to block the upload of her own personal info.

And she can recover her data; he must have not been expecting anyone to really try this when he wrote it.

L Okay. Safe to say he finds an animated giff of 'The Baroness' from the 80s GI Joe TV show making a spanking motion on his system now?

L Yes.

Contested rolls to see if he can trace her now? She won this round, actually. He'll shore up his defenses later.

And it will be straight successes vs success? If he wins, the more successes means a better fix on her location? Failure, he can't do it, botch, "That bitch is in Montana!"

Tracing she isn't as worried about...she's in the sewers on the hotel's wifi 🙂

But sure Ill roll

g Well, if she doesn't care if she's found, no matter, then. I assumed she wanted to throw him off.

She blocked it.

What a waste of a roll 🙂

8,7,7,10,6, 7,8,9,3

Ice is one very angry hacker. hats off to the lady

And she gets her pick of one file to have skimmed -- if she's looking for his personal stuff. One is a very strange kind of video, and the other is apparently info he wanted to hide about a job he did for 'that slutty chick'.

Let me roll randomly on that.

Oh, and F wants to know if I'm Ice Player 😉

L You can be mysterious if you want.

Too late

^_^

Hidden job for that slutty chick is what I got

Who is Madeline, who are the 'fuckhead Varich' whose data he grabbed from (Paris?) -- something about a diplomatic meeting. Probably Renfaire, since it refers to people by feudal titles. (I'll check with the player to see what he was able to swipe off the diplomat's laptops and get back to you -- he swiped what he could before burning their laptops out.)

Heh. All gibberish to CB 🙂
