So I'll ask for his access ID and System rating
Not on my watch Chrona :/
Au thorization and Au thentication
In order to allow you access to anything beyond a public account, the
node must be given three things. The first is your access ID, which
is automatically given when you log on. Second, the node must have
your access ID associated with an access level/account privileges (for
example, your soycaf dispenser will have your access ID on a list that
shows that you have an admin account on its node); this is called authorization.
Third, you must have some way of proving you are the
person who has the authorization in question; this is authentication
p. 225
It is the same way as in modern web. You go to a page (node) and you see what is published. You don't automaticaly gain ability to see who is logged, whats are their access id (logins), is tracing or anything if it is not publicly publishing it.
You need to authenticate as an user/security/admin.
If you authenthicate as a owner (Boer in this example), using his accessId and password you'll be granted his rights, if he is smart enough he will have other more secure account for admin access. (most people don't, two passwords are more to rememeber than one, and people are lazy)
So, until you hack yourself in as user/security or admin you matrix perception allow you to see standard cube within Pueblo Matrix area traingulated to position in denim club that happens to be commlink of certain human. and you can judge it is firewall rating 3 based on your experience, (matrix perception), default sculpture, had you critted, you might have guess with close to certainity that this kind of firewall sculpture is usually built upon NovaTech Navi OS. It could have been Iris Orb as well as they form 90% of the OSes at this rating.
