Hacking: To use one's skills to gain illegal or unauthorized access to a file or network.






Selina was and always will be a thief, and she's honestly able to gain access to so many things.

So please let me know what she can with you.


Also: Selina has her on encryption (cat-crypts)
yeah, im amazing at coming up with names
It will of course be heavily encrypted, but of course it's not foolproof.
People with amazing hacking skills can obviously crack it.
Just let me know if you are about to ;)

Level of encryption she can hack & Encryptions she cannot hack: ...I am sort of baffled by the percentages thing. Is there some correspondence between the percentages and how any particular code reacts to a brute-force cipher vs an information-theoretically secure system?

Things she should be hacking & Anything else of interest: Basically, I am always up for hacking or whatnot and while Thrice is a big time computer nerd, I can't really see him needing to encrypt anything of his own.

If other folks ask, he'd be happy to sort out some security for them.

I suppose the most common types of encryption that tend to pop up on the network can be found here. Which I know isn't the best explanation, but hopefully it will give you some idea of what people are doing with all those numbers on top of their tags.

Hrm! That helps a great deal, thank you.

In that case, I'd say that should Thrice decide to encrypt things, he'd be in the 80%(ish) range. He does this sort of stuff for a living, but unless he's inexplicably hauling about state secrets, he's not really going bother with anything more complex.

It's possible to hack into, but about on par with getting into a banking system and he'd probably notice that someone had been poking through.
