Hacking

## Summary

In fiction (and real life) hacking is the process of breaking into computers, robots, advanced artificial intelligences and/or software and taking control of the system. The process can be achieved through wireless connections or wired lines or through the addition of equipment (corrupted USB add-ons, nanomachines etc). Some fictions even extend the definitions into hacking things like reality or the human mind. In the latter case that would be a form of mind attack and the former is a form of reality warping. Hacking can also be described as a robot mind attack. Since robots are immune to conventional mind attacks hacking would be the next best thing.

## Types

**1: Skid:** Characters with this type of Hacking are called Skids which stands for Script Kiddies. Script Kiddies cannot be considered Hackers and therefore everyone hates them. All they can do is copy-pasting and running scripts or tools someone else has created. They will often threaten you with something they cannot actually achieve such as "I will DDoS your Server" or "I know your IP address" (when they don't even know what an IP address is in the first place). You will find most of these "Hackers" in Minecraft or Fortnite. Abilities: None.

**2: Normal:** Characters with this type of Hacking have already advanced from Skids as they actually know certain concepts in areas such as Networking, Web, Programming and tools. These characters will already try to write their own scripts or tools. This type of Hacking can range from total beginners to expert Hackers.
Abilities: Able to DDoS badly configured Websites and Servers, can exploit 0-day vulnerabilities with premade exploits, can fully compromise networks and systems if he/she has physical access, IP Manipulation (IPv4), can take full control of wireless networks, can make use of port vulnerabilities, able to dox people that give middle to a lot of information, able to configure secure networks.

**3: Godlike:** Characters with this type of Hacking can hack theoretically everything in the 3-dimensional world. These characters are often part of hacking groups that hack huge companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Apple or Facebook and sell their data or make it publicly available in order to fuck those companies. Abilities: IP Manipulation (IPv4 and IPv6), Unknown, probably able to hack the NSA or the FBI and therefore able to exploit technically any device in the world. They can perfectly write their own tools and scripts, knowing every concept/element that has to do with Cybersecurity. For them no system seems to be unhackable. However, they don't understand higher dimensional cybersecurity concepts and are therefore bound to ruling the 3-dimensional world.

**4: Unbound:** Characters with this type of Hacking can hack everything in existence, having no limitations whatsoever. These characters are mostly higher dimensional beings as they can understand higher dimensional cybersecurity concepts and are therefore able to successfully manipulate or hack them. Abilities: IP Manipulation (IPv4, IPv6 and IPv8), can hack infinitely lower and higher dimensions (as they share the same concepts), can manipulate time via Hacking as time is also a kind of dimension, can hack every being in existence except for beings that also have Hacking Type 4 and are also generally superior to the person because they understand the concepts better.
