![]() ![]() He decided to leave behind some notes in case all hell breaks loose. Adaptational Personality Change: A subtle one - in the original game, the only log written by the Hacker depicts him as a resourceful and somewhat cocky individual, thrilled by his deal with Diego but worried by consequences it might bring.Adaptational Hairstyle Change: The remake gives the Hacker a cyberpunk haircut rather than his original mullet.In the Nightdive remake, the Hacker broke into TriOptimum's system to get info on the military neural implant in preparation for stealing it, which explains why Edward offers it to him in exchange for removing SHODAN's ethical restraints. Adaptational Backstory Change: In the original intro, the Hacker is arrested for acquiring information on Citadel Station, which he did for unclear reasons.He ultimately managed to power through the Citadel Station with nothing but his sheer wits, determination and resourcefulness. Action Survivor: Despite the neural enhancements, the Hacker is ultimately, in the words of SHODAN, an insect, and will not survive more than a few hits against the regular cyborg enemies.Six months later, he woke up to the station under the thumb of SHODAN, and as one of the few surviving humans, it was up to him to clean up this mess. He did so, and had the neural interface implanted. ![]() Fortunately for him, the said station's supervisor, Edward Diego, required his services and promised him freedom and the military-grade neural interface, all he need to do was to remove Shodan's ethical constraints. The Hacker was caught by the TriOptimum security forces during his attempt to hack into Citadel station's data for the information on the military-grade neural interface. Tldr disproportionate positions & differing incentives means hacking back is rarely possible, rarely worth the time & often doesn't get you the hacker anyway, unless they do something extremely stupid.The protagonist of the game. Best left to government agencies.Īs an example, I've spoken with network forensic analysts (qualified as one myself but dont do this anymore) who have hunted a hacker group for years and only got them when they logged into their own Facebook using a victim's network. By the time you got to the source they'd likely moved on anyway Even if it were legal where you are, it's not really your concern (as a business), you're focused on getting back up and running.Īttribution is possible but it requires huge resources & it needs the attacker to fuck up. You'd need to then install monitoring software, find the next upstream server. Even if you hack whatever server or system is communicating with whatever compromised you, you've just hacked a disposable asset. Now consider the attacker - usually controlling a botnet or maybe a single c&c server, likely with several layers of network indirection (VPN, tor, proxies, etc) between them & that server. With scale comes complexity and with complexity comes more potential for an obscure vulnerability. The more pieces in your system, the more software that needs to be kept up to date & more accounts that can be breached, more people to phish. we're more likely to be dealing with ransomware that targets businesses, and therein lies the heart of the issue.īusinesses by nature need to have an online presence, often with numerous services & servers exposed. I know people see scammer hackers like Jim browning and think that it's just a matter of technical expertise, but a) it's likely nowhere near every scammer they run across that is hackable, and b) they aren't really the type of cybercriminal cybersec deals with.
