Computer Backdoor
Prerequisite: Knowledge (technology) 1 rank.
Benefit: Install a hidden computer code.

After successfully breaking into a specific computer system, the character can install a “backdoor,” a piece of code making it easier to break into that particular system in the future. Writing and installing the program requires a Knowledge (technology) check (see chart below) but once successfully installed it automatically defeats that system's security upon return trips. Level of Security DC Minimum 25 Average 30 Exceptional 40 Maximum 45

It is important to keep backdoors hidden from the system administrator, who is always on the lookout for such invasions. A backdoor automatically allows the character entrance to a particular system, but every time he uses it he must make an opposed Knowledge (technology) check against the administrator. Failure means the backdoor is discovered and will be deleted before the next time the character returns.
