As mentioned earlier, computers store, manage, and compile information. Hacking, then, involves doing stuff with that information. Whether the hacker wants to add data, grab data, lock it down, corrupt it, or whatever else, the roll is the same. For each half hour or so spent inside the system, the player rolls Intelligence + Computer to perform the desired tasks. Again, time equals risk, and botched rolls (sometimes even failed rolls) alert the sysadmin.

A variety of tasks have been listed on the Computer Systems chart. The more extensive and complicated the task, the longer it’ll take and the higher the difficulty will be.
