Description
Do you like hacking into systems? Are you any good at it? Come prove it!
Start: Side Jobs, The House of Congo
Introduction
You have a job: Hack Checking, accepted at The House of Congo in the Sirius system.
Find Goetia in the Security offices.
Next NPC: Goetia – Caracal Elite (No Pronouns Please!), Security, The House of Congo
- Approach Goetia.
You walk over to Goetia, who notices you and pats a nearby seat.
Goetia says: Right, you ready? Here’s the process. I’m going to give you a few publicly available details about my program, then you try to hack into it, disrupt it, whatever. You’ve gotta do it through the from this connection, though, so my monitoring software can keep track of what you’re doing. Chances are you won’t get anywhere, but I’d rather run a test every tenspan than have to deal with crackers.
Goetia speaks fast, barely giving you time to activate your CORETECHS.
Goetia says: Questions? No? Okay then, give it a good few tries so we can call it a day.
- Install spyware on Goetia’s CORETECHS.
- Flood the system with traffic.
- Try to gain entry with brute force.
Spyware:
(Intelligence check)
You sneak some spyware into Goetia’s CORETECHS. While you don’t get access to Goetia’s program in time, it helps point out a weakness.
Goetia says: I wasn’t expecting that! Nice one, <name>. I’ll have to shore things up…
- Flood the system with traffic.
- Try to gain entry with brute force.
Flood:
(Intelligence check)
You use a system of bots to try to flood Goetia’s program. It’s barely slowed down, but Goetia seems impressed nonetheless.
Goetia says: Not bad. I need to have another look at my DDS…
- Try to gain entry with brute force.
Brute force:
(Intelligence check)
You use a brute force attack to try to guess a password. You don’t manage to gain entry, but eventually Goetia stops you.
Goetia says: That’s enough of that, <name>.
- "Is that enough?"
Me: Is that enough?
Goetia says: Yes, that’ll do for now. Thanks, it was kind of fun! If you pop by another time, we can try again.
Goetia smiles, curls up on the seat and starts snacking on an algae bar.
Congratulations!
