[5e] Technomancer and editing files
Fatespinner:
Hi all,
I have a question about the Editor form. Let's assume the TM wants to modify the recording of a security camera. Does the TM needs to get a mark on the camera before he can use Editor to modify the data or can he do it directly? A normal hacker needs to get a mark on the device, then on the file and the he can edit it.
Does the same apply for files on a host?
Banshee:
Complex Forms do not require Marks
Fatespinner:
I know. You don't need to have a mark on the file itself. But do you need to have a mark on the device where the file is stored? If you would need no mark, then you could easily getting any file from a host. If you need one, then you can't simply remove your image from a video file with the form.
Xenon:
You typically cant edit files stored inside hosts from the outside and you typically first need a mark on the host before you may enter it.
Banshee:
Pretty much what Xenon said.
There is no mark required for a complex form in any capacity... but the technomancer does need to have access. Which usually involves marking a host to get inside but there are ways to get in a host without marking it.
