So we're doing a run vs a military installation
I'm the primary combat decker.
I assume the host will be hidden.
So I started thinking it's LOG+Electronics-Noise vs Defense assuming no other modifiers to spot it.
However, I got to thinking- there's no matrix perception rules in Anarchy per se.
Is it an oversight which my roll would solve.
Or something like spotting a hidden host is supposed to just be narrated out without dice rolls?
How would you guys handle it?

Most Matrix actions are going to be Hacking + LOG Tests.
Electronics + LOG Tests are used mostly for physical electronics (wires and chips, etc).
Perception tests are LOG + WIL. I take this to mean Matrix Perception and Astral Perception as well.

I thought that Hosts aren't a physical thing at all and they are purely matrix constructs. However, physical devices can slave to a Host in order to share data and have IC protection. So you wouldn't be detecting the host, but terminals/commlinks/sensors connected to the host. To do that, you do a Snoop action and use Electronic Warfare + Intuition vs Logic + Firewall. Now, to go in the other direction: If you're on a host and you want to find a physical device (e.g. slaved camera, terminal, commlink), it would require a Trace Icon action using Computer + Intuition vs. Willpower + Sleaze.

This is talking about Shadowrun: Anarchy. It's way easier than that.
It's going to be some Hacking test or Perception test with a difficulty set by the GM. Personally I prefer a perception test.
