:backdoor_builder()

Creates a reliable way back into a breached database or network.

If successful, this subroutine creates a permanent “backdoor” into a closed network or database, allowing you to access it at any time. This backdoor can be detected during successful programming reviews made by the target.

  • Acquisition Cost: 5 XP | 50,000 Dollars | 500 Credits
  • Digital Noise Generated: 2
  • CODA Cost: 5
  • Requirements: Network Connection
  • Subroutine Traits: Secure Access / Security Clearance Acquisition
  • Range: 100 Meters / Network
  • Target: A digital Device, Closed Network or Database in which you currently have access.
  • Turn Portion: Full Round Action

Effect: Roll an Engineering Skill Roll. The DC is 10 - 34(determined by Narrator) depending on the security level of the Device, Network or Database. Small businesses and non-profits will have lower security, and corporations and government entities will have higher security.

Success: If the user Succeeds in meeting or exceeding the DC they Successfully create a back door into the Device, Network or Database. 

Back Door: A user with a back door in a system can re-enter and inject code and subroutines without needing credentials or breaching into the system again.

Failure: If the user Fails to meet or exceed the DC the creation of a “back door” is unsuccessful and an additional 3 Digital Noise is generated by this instance of the Subroutine. 

Overpower: Spend 1 additional CODA to: 

  • Add +2 to your Engineering Skill Roll made for this Subroutine.

You can overpower as many times and in as many ways as you can afford to do so.
