Hello list, Here is a list of skils that I've drafted up for a hacker. Let me know if its good enough. or if you would like to make changes. hacker skills: level 1: compdecs (advanced) This will give the hacker the abbility to install software used for ahacking onto the compdeck. level 3: encryption (level 1) Well. this one is quite obvious. There are three levels of encryption. This will give them the abbility to either crack (encryption level 1) data encryptions, or set up there own data encryption. level 5: robot programming This will give the hacker the abbility to create or program robots. (note: the robot must be created by a scientist, but the hacker will program it.) level 6: virus building (level 1) Another obvious one. They will be able to build (level 1) viruses, and infect people with them. Unless, they have had a virus detection program installed. level 8: connection tampering This will let you intercept data going back and forh on a connection. (note: you may be discovered) connection tracing This will let you trace a connection to a person. (good if you wanna find out where they are) level 10: encryption (level 2) firewalls (level 1) This will give the hacker the abbility to program firewlls, and also break through some of them. level 13: security annalisys This will give you the abbility to do annalasys on a connection, or firewall, without using the software. (which uses memory) level 15: penatration (level 1) This is where things get fun; the hacker may be able to break down the firewall, decrypt the data, but they have to be able to pinatrate through stuff. (don't know if this is needed) level 18: encryption (level 3) level 21: virus detection This will give the hacker the abbility to program virus detection into a computer. (will let you know if a virus was detected, depending on the hackers virus level) level 24: virus building (level 2) level 26: firewalls (level 2) level 28: intrusion detection programming This will give the hacker the abbility to detect someone breaking into there computer or ship security systems. level 31: virus building (level 3) level 34: connection drop This will give the hacker the abbility to disconnect someone using there compdeck. (can't be used on ships) level 37: hardware (level 1) Will give the hacker the abbility to install hardware into a compdeck. E.g memory, processor, etc. level 40: connection spoofing Will let you hide your connection so that it can't be traced. level 43: bank transmissions and inquiries Will let the hacker transfer funds from account to account (assuming the first account is theres) with out having to be at a bank. Also lets the person inquire as to how much money someone has in there bank, when there last deposit was, and when there last withdraw was. level 46: hardware (level 2) Will let the hacker install processors, memory, and etc on ship computers. level 49: internet masking This is like spoofing, but its a bit more detailed. You can totally hide yourself, until you make an intrusion, and then you spoof the connection.
