I mostly ignore the game mechanisms for hacking because they aren’t useful abstractions to me but I was just thinking how funny it is you can have a futuristic brain chip in your head that can only do a ping sweep and like one type of hack. I can’t decide if it’s funnier if that’s like some sort of technical limitation, like there’s only enough space for 5 python scripts, or if it’s some sort of capitalist hellhole reason like metasploit has a subscription mechanism that’s somehow worse than ida pro.
