Codebreaker Supercomputer
2-POINT PULLING STRING
PREREQUISITE: INFLUENCE (INTELLIGENCE)
One of the NSA’s most prized acquisitions is a giant supercomputing facility in a remote corner of the Arizona desert. The custom-built supercomputers housed at the facility are designed specifically to break codes and computer passwords as quickly as possible. Even the most secure encryption or password schemes in use today can usually be broken in a matter of hours by these computers. Access to the facility is highly restricted. Logging onto the system via telecommunications link requires a Standard Computer Operation Check. Any Computer Hacking performed while connected to the “codebreaker” supercomputer reduces the Difficulty of the check by two levels and take only one quarter of the usual time.
