To whom it may concern.
| things get shadier and shadier around GC, dood...
It's scary that already got mostly used to it, dood, at least it is better than master Etna...
| What kind of upgrades are we talking? Like improved ICE and stuff? -CN
| Infosec? ICE?
| >>117594
Intrusion Countermeasures or ICE for short are a form of Matrix protections used for security. There's a variety of ICE programs with a variety of functions, and their lethality and complexity can be characterized by their color, with White ICE usually being used for detection and impediment, all the way up to Black ICE that could potentially kill the decker or diver in question. -CN
| We talking on-site armed personnel, a whole new wave of solid sysops and some pretty fucking scary lookin' Black ICE.
I wasn't kidding, stay safe guys.
~DA70D6
| Jeez black ICE, must be something pretty secret if they're using something that expensive to public entry points. -CN
| Nothing that some social contacts can't fix. Or some C4.
-Ano
| Fine, No Social contacts.
-Ano
| >>117613
I think he was specifically talking about the C4. Can you not do something stupid for once? Just one time?
-TY
| (abd I tagged the wrong post oh well)
| C4 won't exactly fix a data protection issue. Unless you're willing to raid a bunch of augmented merc goons for some server farm you've never heard of, I'd recommend against it. There are plenty of places to hit up left, just be a little more careful, yeah? If you really don't want to be careful, I've got some good prices on a solid operator to help out~
~DA70D6
| >>117629 >>117615
I was joking. The last thing I want to do is get hit up by the police and the mercs that are coming to town.
-Ano
| >>117641
I seen Cain poke around. It look like I'm in the clear, and talking about her, I need to visit.
-Ano
| >>117642
Tell her I will buy her a short of her choice and that im sorry about it. Also let her know im thankful for her helping saving my life
-TY
| (*shirt fuck you too keyboard)
| What? When did you get to know her?
-Ano
| Um... She kinda saved me from bleeding to death. Wouldn't have lived without her help. I kinda owe everyone now. Especially Neon. Pretty sure if anyone owns me know its hims. I am basically breathing cause of him
-TY
| I see. Good on Cain. I guess I might see you there after therapy.
| lol I don't know if you will kid. Im in a tight spot. Ima hide out when the mercs come. I can barely move as it is. I might see you either before then or after but for now I need to rest up. Breathing hurts right now.
-TY
| Eh, fair enough. See you around.
-Ano
| Alright, so uh, I jacked in and took a look myself, honestly I have no idea what's going on but it's a little scary. After a bit of poking around, they've got some crazy looking black ice in two of those server farm buildings. I also saw goons at the front door and everything. Someone was rich enough to pay for all this shit but they can't afford to maintain this for long. If anyone's insane enough to figure out what's going on, I'd say you've got two weeks, tops.
~DA70D6
| While I'm all curious to find out what Corp corruption is going on, sadly black ICE is a little bit above my paygrade. -CN
| Can you physically disable ICE?
-Ano
| >>117689
I mean there's programs that work to specifically counteract certain types of ICE, but those things are usually well secured and just as expensive as ICE. The only other way is to go turn it off in the central security computer or something, and if you made it that far then you kind of defeated the purpose of hacking into the place in the first place. -CN
| I guess wet-work is out the question for you guys?
-Ano
| >>117689
Ye can fight ICE. Deckers have to do it all the time.
Black is scary, but that's not the only reason why any smart chummer avoids trippin' alarms and setting the ICE loose in the first place.
The other reason is if there's one Black ICE program installed...
...it usually arrives in swarms. An' believe me, nothing makes a fresh decker shit their pants in meatspace quicker than their first "oops." -TheGreatAzul
| >>117689
Oh absolutely, cyber security only works in the net. You could bust in, steal whatever computer is storing the data you need and then figure it out from there. Unfortunately, that's what the goons are for.
~DA70D6
| Anyway, just do your usual buisness and don't accept any data theft jobs for the rest of the month and nobody should run into any problems. Either that or go nuts but this ain't my fight.
~DA70D6
| >>117735
I guess you have a point. It's not my line of business anyway, but if you need something made, go to the Cain's Gallery, and ask for "Alfonzo."
| -Ano
| Oh, don't tempt me. I've gone through enough close calls tonight just getting the goddamn camera feeds.
| ~DA70D6
| What? I mean manufacturing, not doing a job on these places.
| Oh I know, I figured what you'd be manufacturing would be of use to whoever decided to make this their job.
~DA70D6
| Nah. But I can do anything you might need, be it mundane or complex.
-AM
| Mmm, black ICE. My favorite. -Neon
| Man it's stories like these that make me wish I had the cash or tech to program my own Black ICE. Would make my life more convenient. -CN
| >>117768
Hey if you want to partner up to make it happen...It won't be easy, but it's not impossible. -Neon
| >>117866
You have that many resources? Black ICE costs like in the million of zenny to make. And that's lowballing it. -CN
| It's not worth the investment. Unless you're already high profile enough to need it, buying high profile lethal shit like that is just telling everyone in the net that whatever's behind it is worth that life. You're scaring away all the little rookies, but someone'll catch on that you're no multimillionaire, and that running with your shit isn't as risky as it seems. You're small, you'd be safer just being subtle.
~DA70D6
| Fair point... -CN
| Eh. Guess there isn't any point in changing a working formula. -Neon
| More like CN's waaay too high profile to get away with making something so appetizing, eh "geekboy"? :P -DarkSmokePuncher
| Showing an overt display of force like that only ever works if you've got the money to find and kill anyone who's good enough to make it through. That last step is uh... A little bit more expensive.
| ~DA70D6
| >>117878
You bring on a good point. And if you ask me, owning one such system only to boast is a waste of potential, money and time as well as a potential danger.
-Falschen
| Maybe I should check it out. I pride myself on being able to take a challenge.

| The turnover rate for the justice wardrobe must be rediculous...
| >>119062
Not really.
We haven't had any problems until recently. And even then most are just MIA.
-Black Panties.
| >>119062 What is actually "rediculous" is your spelling of ridiculous, gurl. Don't come at us with an insult if you can't even spell right. Who doesn't know how to type nowadays? Like it is an essential part of living in the modern world...
-Fuschia Fedora.
P.S. If you are implying that I couldn't break into this, I could. It would just be very difficult and very dangerous, and potentially deadly. Obviously a task for a hero. Question is if it is worth my time or not.
| >>120081
What's great is that now I know which one of you is an ass. The other girl was chill about it.
| >>120192 >>120092
Maybe I am an ass. Still getting used to the whole "Hero" thing, I apologize. I'm still out here busting my ass to help you though, which is more than what most people in this city does to try to help people. In time, I'll prove my worth and show you all I am a hero. Till then, think what you want. Actions speak louder than words, and you'll see my actions soon.
-Fuschia Fedora.
| >>120343
Are you really part of the Justice Wardrobe? Or just another copycat like that Gold Knuckles guy? -Arrow
| >>120346 >>120343 I'm not a copycat, I am the real deal. Look, I'm sorry okay? You'll be seeing me helping in the streets very soon. I promise, I am trying to be a good person and a hero, and you will see it. I am going to help people, I promise!
-Fuschia Fedora.
| >>120402
I will admit it's also important to act tactfully as well. Even if you're doing good but you don't project an agreeable persona, things will start looking bad. Taking a moment to think on what you say in the future may be something worth doing. -CN
| >>120526
Noted. I may be trying to be a hero, but I suppose that also entails learning how to be a 'people person'.

| Seems like there's some infosec upgrades to a few of the more outdated entry points downtown. Scary stuff, 'specially on the the network side of things.
Don't turn vegetable, guys!
