赛博骇入器“赛博骇入器”一开始是被传统派碟客用来嘲笑开始在黑市上出现的粗糙技术(最初被称作“赛博插口终端”)的贬义词,但它已经被黑客们当作了一种荣誉的徽章。他们认为这是一种不使用试图支配矩阵的当局的工具而夺回矩阵的方法。这个名字因此存留了下来。
对于那些不愿意接受赛博插口殖装所需的大量手术的人来说,一种外部版本已经被设计出来。这些笨重的设备只要求用户有一个可以用于连接的数据插口。它们比赛博殖装的功能更有限,但它们也不需要进行侵入性手术。
赛博骇入器的设计是为了取代植入式赛博插口的地位。它们与植入式数据插口和赛博碟板链接,以提供碟客的数据处理和防火墙属性所需的额外处理能力。赛博骇入器需要与植入式数据插口进行有线直连以发挥作用。这样一来,赛博骇入器的功能就和植入版本差不多。然而,赛博骇入器不能提供任何矩阵主动性奖励,而且需要植入式赛博插口或共鸣属性的矩阵极限动作也不可用。任何可以增强赛博插口功效的特质都不适用于赛博骇入器,除非它们明确说明。当使用赛博骇入器时,你不能切换你的数据处理和防火墙属性。它们可以被增强,但不能用其他属性替换。
除此之外,赛博骇入器是非常笨重的硬件。到目前为止,还没有人成功地制造出比RCC更小的赛博骇入器,这使得它们很难被隐藏起来。这也导致了某些人创造性地将其伪装成合法的电子设备,比如键盘式吉他。
除了节省精华损失之外,使用赛博骇入器也有一些好处。使它们不能更快地处理数据的同样难题也使得它们更容易抵御入侵,从而形成了一个坚实的防火墙。由于硬件的侵入性较低,使用赛博骇入器的黑客受到的生物反馈伤害总是眩晕伤害——即使他使用热模VR。
值得注意的是,虽然一些超企最初研发了类似赛博骇入器的技术,但这些项目均已被悄悄关闭。超企不希望在公开市场上出现使矩阵更容易访问的技术,因此他们假装这是不可能做到的。所有的赛博骇入器都是黑市商品,在没有任何合法企业的官方认可的情况下生产的。其中一些是小型碟客工匠的工坊生产的,但更大规模的非法技术生产已经成为一个足够有利可图的业务,以至于一些其他合法的公司部门正在调整其商业模式以利用该需求。一些公司甚至已经拥有品牌型号,例如山口组·武士刀、艾瑞卡·霍夫匠、黑手党·顾问、克莱姆·好斗者、麦克休·超大的我和塔可寺·黑曜剑
(译注:或者音译成“塔克坦普雷特·马夸威特”)。尽管合法企业假装这些代表了犯罪行动的商标侵权(有时他们说的甚至是实话),犯罪集团组织已经发现赛博骇入器与定制赛博碟板组件是一个极为有利可图的收入来源。

CYBERHACKS
“Cyberhack” began as a derisive term used by traditionalist deckers to demean the rough tech that began to emerge on the black market (originally dubbed “cyberjack terminals”), but it’s been taken up as a badge of honor by hackers who see it as a way to take back the Matrix without using the tools of the authorities who seek to dominate it. The name stuck.
For those unwilling to undergo the extensive surgery needed for a cyberjack augmentation, an external version has been devised. These bulky devices only require the user to have a datajack with which to interface. They are more limited than the cyberware equivalent, but they also don’t require intrusive surgery.
Cyberhacks are designed to take the place of an implanted cyberjack. They interface with an implanted datajack and cyberdeck to provide the additional processing power required for a decker’s Data Processing and Firewall attributes. A cyberhack requires a wired connection to an implanted datajack in order to function. In this way, a cyberhack functions mostly like the implanted version. However, a cyberhack does not provide any Matrix initiative bonus, and the Matrix Edge actions that require an implanted cyberjack or Resonance attribute are not available. Any qualities that improve the effectiveness of a cyberjack do not apply to cyberhacks unless they explicitly state otherwise. When using a cyberhack, you may not switch your Data Processing and Firewall attributes. They can be enhanced, but not changed with other attributes.
Furthermore, cyberhacks are bulky pieces of hardware. So far, no one has managed to make one smaller than an RCC, which makes them difficult to conceal. This has led to some creativity in disguising them as a legal electronic device, like a keytar.
There are some advantages to using a cyberhack, other than saving on Essence loss. The same challenges that make them less capable of faster data processing make them easier to secure against intrusion, resulting in a solid firewall. Due to the less intrusive hardware, a hacker using a cyberhack always takes Biofeedback damage as Stun damage—even when using hot sim VR.
It’s worth noting that while some megacorporations originally developed technology similar to cyberhacks, these projects have been quietly shut down. The megacorporations don’t want tech that makes hacking the Matrix more accessible on the open market, and so they pretend it’s impossible. All cyberhacks are black-market items, created without the official sanction of any legitimate business. Some of these are small deckmeister shops, but larger-scale illegal tech manufacturing has become a lucrative enough business that some otherwise-legitimate corporate operations are adapting their business model to take advantage of the demand. Some even have brand models, such as the Yakuza Katana, Erika Hoffmeister, Mafia Consiglieri, Krime Slasher, McHugh’s SupersizeMe, and Taco Temple Macuahuitl. Though legit corporations pretend these represent trademark infringement by criminal operations (sometimes they’re even telling the truth), organized crime syndicates have found cyberhack and custom cyberdeck component production to be a profitable
revenue stream.
