Triangulation complete.

Post by Charlie »

Within the last week or two, Charlie has been getting pinged regularly with tracer, in spite of successfully silencing it or sabotaging it. I understand that being an allurist means higher chances of getting caught, but does it also affect hacking?

Her notoriety is low.
Hacking 20
Intelligence 23
She uses V6 of everything.
She's hacking from terminals within private lair(s).

I know her intelligence is a ways away from being capped, but up until a few weeks ago, she was doing pretty darn well for herself when silencing and sabotaging. Now, she might successfully get through 2-4 nodes before getting her signal triangulated out of the blue.

The security levels of her hacks hasn't gone up (still 18-20/21).
System level green.

Am I doing something wrong? Is the fact that she's become an allurist a source of the problem?

The description of the modulation monocle implies that tracers and warriors spot you as you enter the node, before you even do anything. I know I used to be caught often enough for finding three tracers even if immediately silenced or deleted successfully.

That would explain a lot then. Odd that she's not had any issues this long. Perhaps there simply are more tracers nowadays than there were previously, or her criminality has brought them on. Either way, I don't see the point of silencing tracer and armouring warrior when your system is in the green and doing so won't change anything or impede you from moving forward... if they ping you when you enter the node anyway.

That being said, the sabotage hacks page on the wiki has the following information:

Alert Level:

Green: No chance of your location being revealed.
Yellow: 1 in 5 chance of your location being revealed.
Amber: 1 in 3 chance of your location being revealed.
Red: Location is revealed


So I'm guessing that isn't how it works for the evidence hacks and daily hacks, just the business hacks. I was under the impression that it was universal.

You need to silence the tracers if you intend to do anything else in the node, such as when they are in file nodes. I do believe the location reveal thing is the milkshake that brings the cops to the yard of the building you are in, definitely for the daily and possibly the evidence types. I think the evidence type non-greens used to boost my chances of being shot walking past cops.

i am quite sure this is unrelated to the topic on hand ... this has todo with hacking player owned businesses, and if their security can back trace you
