>>>>>[Well, for those that don't know, I follow Shark. Shark is the Destroyer, the Death that comes to claim the weak and the injured, so that those that remain are stronger for his passing. When I kill, I make it quick, clean, and without suffering. I do not kill mindlessly or without purpose, but I show no mercy to those who meet my blade in combat. Any that fall to my blades were too weak to live, and one day I, too, will prove too weak. This is not a thought I relish, but one that I am at peace with. One day I will be just a little too slow, and then Shark will come for me.

And yes, Vexboy, I'm helping you even though I know you were Star. If you ask around about me, you'll find that I spent some time on the bright (ok, less dark) side of the shadows myself. We all have our reasons for being here. Some chose this life. Some were born into it. Some were cast out for offenses real or imagined. And so on. If you allow your distrust of, say, all former corpsec to prevent you from joining a team with them, then you will find yourself running with very few friends and limited options.

Also, I did make several grand off that transaction myself, just as a middleman.

Scatter, one should be careful not to show one's ignorance. You may be hot stuff in your little corner of the Matrix, but reputation is key. A reputation for doing the things you've done in this conversation will get you blacklisted, if you're lucky. If you're less lucky, you may find that you piss off people who either have the chops in the Matrix or the material world to find you and make your life miserable, or know other people who owe them favors that do. If you're really unlucky, someone decides that turning you in for a bounty is easy money. I believe MCT still needs TMs for their garden, for instance.]<<<<<

>>>>>[I am telling you that this is for a reason. Don't blame me. I rather like you Vexboy. I think I shall start thinking of ways to prove it. Ps. im not gonna post the image but whats with file name EQ? I mean is it because you like moon horses or....?]<<<<<

>>>>>[ I concur with the previous replies here.  You only break into systems because it's your job, not because you can.  If you start doing that, you will end up pissing off someone who has no sense of humour and who will try to get you back.  And you never fuck over your teammates that way.  When I work with a new team, I do look at their defenses, but I just analyse them, I don't break in.  That's something that every hacker and techno should do, so you can tell your teammates to upgrade their defenses.  Some people have no sense of danger when it comes to the matrix, which is strange as we had it and systems like it for quite some time now.  You think people would have learned by now. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[Thanks everyone... Also im not prejeduced against ec star for the record. People have been prejeduced against me. So i was worried. Anyway... he uh... he is still on my commlink. But I cant track him down. The worst part is now I think he is STALKING ME. I think I may have done something to him at some point. I dunno. But I wanna handle this. I appricate the help Predator but I am settling this myself. That asshole underestimates what a shadowrun with an advanced knowledge of criminal psychology can really do.]<<<<<

>>>>>[That complicates matters a bit, but in my opinion not by all that much.  The same principle that applied back then for your home system, just to give an example, still counts.  Get a very high firewall and a good analyse program.  Add a small script that defines how your analyse program should behave and you can keep all but the most determined hackers out.  But it still amazes me that there are still people out there who have firewalls I can pilot a T-bird through.  Very nice in your adversaries, but I don't tolerate it with my team mates.  Luckily I'm with a semi-permanent team and I educated them. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[Vexboy, here's Matrix Security for Non-Hackers 101. Whenever you think someone's screwing with your 'link, reboot immediately. Even if you don't think that, reboot often (every few hours), just in case. Have diagnostic software running to catch potential hacks in process. If you can afford it, carry multiple commlinks, each under a different identity: one on silent for work, one running in the open for walking around, like a civilian would. Remember, with enough time and effort, NOTHING is unhackable. The only question is whether someone can get in and out without getting caught. Devices are tools. Learn to use them, but do not depend on them to the point where you cannot function without them. If you have implants (especially cybereyes or cyberlimbs or the like) get the best link you can afford. Nothing sucks more than having your eyes cut out during combat.]<<<<<
