Wireless plugs

So let's begin ...

Technology wise, it my seem strange that in a not to far future people plug to his gadgets (guns, cars, etc) ... and it is. So ...

Wireless switch - Surg:N - Cost:100ed - H.L.:1
This implant let you connect wirelessly to any device prepared for it (50-500ed). The Wireless Switch must be used in along an appropriate link (cybermodem, vehicle, smartgun, etc) and have a 5m range.

That's all? Not exactly. This technology is useful for the average Joe, but anybody who expect to be in daily firefights would be wiser to pack old interface plugs. "Why?" you should ask. Because wireless signals can be disrupted, or worse, hacked.

Signal disrupter - Cost 295ed
This small gadget (the size of and old PDA) has the capability to disrupt signals in a 30m radius. His rechargeable batteries last for 3 hours of continual use. Ideal to disable phones on theaters, cinemas and the like.


Hacking a wireless connection.

Now, you are wondering how you can hack a wireless smartgun or smartcar. It's quite easy, really.

You will need to locate wireless spots (LOCATE REMOTE), sniff the wireless signals, decrypt them and fake them so the device believes you are the legitimate proprietary. Or you could assault it's datawalls and the use a CONTROL REMOTE command.

To sniff signals you need a specialized program, and have to succeed in a STR test (1D10 <= Program STR), then you need to decrypt the acquired data as usual, finally fake the signal with another specialized program and succeed on an opposed test (1d10+Attack STR vs 1d10+Defense INT).

Programs:
Sniffer v1 - STR 3; UM 1; Cost 300ed
Sniffer v2 - STR 5; UM 2; Cost 500ed
Signal faker v1 - STR 3; UM 2; Cost 400ed
Signal faker v2 - STR 4; UM 3; Cost 600ed
Signal faker v3 - STR 5; UM 4; Cost 850ed

To randomly determine the defenses of a wireless ready item, roll 1d6+2+nº CPU as the Datawall STR. Most wireless apparels use a single CPU to manage the comunication between devices, so it's INT is +3. Secure devices use more than one CPU, strengthening it's defenses and improving it's capabilities.

So ... wireless things not that cool anymore, uh?
