== Your tools ==

[[File:IGloves.png|link=Insulated Gloves]] '''[[Insulated Gloves]]''' for mitigating shocks. Hackables have power lines, and cutting/pulsing these without gloves can and will harm you. It's possible to hack without them, but it will be slow, painful, and you'll need ointment.

[[File:Screwdriver_tool.png|link=Screwdriver]] '''[[Screwdriver]]''' for opening up panels and the like. A necessary tool.

[[File:Wirecutters.png|link=Wirecutters]] '''[[Wirecutters]]''' for cutting and mending wires.

[[File:Multitool.png|link=Multitool]] '''[[Multitool]]''' for pulsing wires. Not necessary for most hacking, but makes life a lot easier.

[[File:Signaler.png|link=Signaler]] '''[[Signaler]]''' can be used as a ghetto alternative to a Multitool and to pulse wires remotly. Attach one on a wire, then use a second signaler to pulse that wire.

[[File:Blueprint.png|link=Station blueprints]] '''[[Station blueprints]]''' for easy peasy wire identification. If you can get it, it contain a map of all the hackable wires when read. It will remove the need for testing wires to find their function.

=== [[File:door.png|64px|link=Airlock]] [[File:glassdoor.png|64px|link=Airlock]] [[File:Airlock2.png|64px|link=Airlock]] [[Airlock]]s ===

Both internal and external access airlocks are hackable. Wires are randomized at the start of each round, but are standardized throughout the station, e.g. every orange wire might toggle the bolts. This is probably where you'll be doing the most of your hacking. Remember, cutting power to the door will stop everything else from working.

# Screwdriver in hand, click on the airlock to open the panel and expose the wiring.
# With multitool, wirecutters, or an empty hand, click on the airlock to access the wiring.
# Fiddle with the wires by pulsing to test each one and cutting what you need to.
# Screwdriver the door again to shut the panel. If the panel is open and you don't have a screwdriver, you can open it by using your ID on it.

* There are two main power wires and two backup power wires.
* Disabling main power will make the backup work in 10 seconds. Disabling both will make door lose power until something is restored.
** If the door is unpowered, it can be opened with a crowbar, unless the bolts are down.
* Disabling AI control will make AI/Borgs unable to interact with this door; they can still hack in by either of power wires. It takes around a minute, and once the door is hacked, they'll be able to use it without AI control wire forever.
* Disabling safety will make the door close even if there is a human in it.
* Disabling timing will make it close almost instantly.

==== Airlock Strategies ====

* '''Ghetto hacking''' involves accessing a useless airlock and cutting all of the wires in order until the bolts drop, making a note of the wire you just cut. Keeping this in mind, you can now open restricted doors by cutting all the wires except the bolt control and then crowbarring that fucker open. Useful if you don't have a multi-tool. Note that this is a bad idea if you lack gloves.
* '''Open ID restricted doors''' by pulsing a main power wire and then crowbarring it open. If it's bolted, be sure to pulse the bolt wire before you kill the power or you're shit outta luck for a minute. (You can shorten this by cutting and mending the power wire, but by then the power would probably have reset anyway. Still, taking 20 seconds less to unhack the Escape shuttle doors is always good)
* '''Create a pain-in-the-ass-obstacle''' by dropping the bolts, cutting all the wires, and then welding the door shut. This is especially effective if you happen to have the only pair of insulated gloves on the station.
* '''Remotely pulse an airlock''' by attaching a signaler, which when signaled pulses the wire it's attached to. This allows you to remotely bolt and unbolt a door, for instance. Be sure to turn off the speaker so no one can hear it being toggled.
* '''Use multitools for bolted ''' as they are awesome. First find two wires of importance: the bolts wire, and the main power wire. Pulse a random door to find out the wires. If you get shocked, close that hacking window and move onto another door. Once you got the main power wire, head to an unbolted door, pulse the wire, crowbar it open. You get a larger window of time to crowbar, and you can do it without gloves. If a door is bolted, pulse the bolts wires, and go and cut the power then crowbar it.

==== Secure airlocks ====

Some airlocks are more secure than normal, and their wire panel is covered by a layer of shielding. To see the airlock's security level, examine it.
There are 3 levels of airlock security:<br>
* '''Normal security'''
Normal airlocks, they have no additional security.
* '''Medium security'''
To create a medium security airlock, use 2 sheets of '''metal''' on a normal airlock with an open panel.<br>
No change in door resistance.<br>
To access the wire panel, you need to:
# Open the panel with a '''screwdriver'''.
# Slice through the wires' protection with a '''welder'''.
# Proceed as normal.

* '''High security'''
To create a high security airlock, use 2 sheets of '''plasteel''' on a normal airlock with open panel.<br>
Armor is multiplied by 1.5, making the door harder to destroy through brute force.<br>
To access the wire panel, you need to:
# Open the panel with a '''screwdriver'''.
# Cut through the '''electrified''' protective grille with '''wirecutters'''. If you don't wear insulated gloves, you may get shocked.
# Slice through the outer layer of plasteel using a '''welding tool'''.
# Remove the outer plasteel layer with a '''crowbar'''.
# Slice through the inner layer of plasteel using a '''welding tool'''.
# Remove the inner plasteel layer with a '''crowbar'''.
# Proceed as normal.

=== [[File:APC2.gif|64px|link=APC]] [[APC]] ===

Controls power to its assigned room. All APC breakers can be accessed via Power Monitoring Computers regardless of the lock status, so hope that whoever's fucking with the power isn't paying attention.

# Screwdriver in hand, click on APC to open the panel and expose the wiring.
# Click with an empty hand to access the wiring.
# Fiddle with the wires by pulsing to test each one and cutting what you need to.
# Screwdriver it back up to toggle lighting, equipment, and atmospherics as you see fit (unless you've killed the power).

* Cover lock prevents the APC from opening. If it's off, you can use a crowbar to open the APC.
* Interface lock prevents anyone from using the APC. It is normally removed by swiping an ID card.

What safer way to release the [[singularity]] than doing it REMOTELY! That, or you can hack it to make it shoot more powerful particles!

#Setup the PA if you haven't already, then use a screwdriver on the computer to open the panel/expose the wires.
#Now click on the computer with a hand to bring up the wire menu. Here you can then get your tools in hand.
#*'''Power wire''': ''Pulsing'' toggles the PA on or off, ''cutting'' it will disable the PA and stop it from turning on.
#*'''Strength wire''': ''Pulsing'' increases the strength of the PA, ''cutting'' it will set the strength to 0 and prevent people turning it up.
#*'''Interface wire''': Interface wire will stop people being able to use the control computer. ''Pulsing'' will toggle this, ''cutting'' will turn it off until mended.
#*'''Limit wire''': ''Cutting'' will allow the PA to be turned up to strength 3. When ''pulsed'' it will make a large whirring noise.
#*'''Nothing wire''': Will do nothing, it's just here to make it harder.
#Close the panel for the PA to then work again. '''IMPORTANT:''' Don't forget to scan the parts again.

You can also attach a [[Signaler]] to these wires to release the singularity, such as remotely pulsing the strength wire. Bonus points if you also pulse the interface wire so that people can't stop it!

=== [[File:Syndicate_Bomb.gif|64px|link=Syndicate Bomb]] [[Syndicate Bomb]] ===

A bomb! Are you a bad enough dude?

# Check the description of the bomb to see if you have enough time left to even attempt a defusal. Use your best judgement for how much time you will need.
# If the timer is very long, you might want to ask toxins for a bomb suit in case you fail. You'll still be killed, but at least you'll leave a cloneable corpse.
# Screwdriver in hand, click on the bomb to open the panel and expose the wiring.
# With multitool, wirecutters, or an empty hand, click on the bomb to access the wiring.
# CAREFULLY fiddle with the wires by pulsing to test each one and cutting what you need to.
#* '''Boom wire''': ''Pulsing'' will explode the bomb instantly if the bomb is live and ''cutting'' will do much the same! There's no way to prepare for the boom wire if the bomb is already live, it's just an inherent risk. Cutting a boom wire that's not live will make the bomb unusable.
#* '''Bolt wire''': ''Pulsing'' will hint at this wire's function, ''cutting'' will release the bolts holding the bomb down if they were activated to begin with. Ditch that bomb!
#* '''Delay wire''': ''Pulsing'' will add time to the clock of the bomb, giving you a little more breathing room.
#* '''Proceed wire''': ''Pulsing'' will reduce the clock, making your life that much harder. ''Cutting'' this wire while the bomb is live will explode the bomb!
#* '''Activate wire''': ''Pulsing'' a bomb that isn't live will start the countdown and ''cutting'' a bomb that IS live will stop the countdown. If you've identified this wire, you've won!

Keep in mind that randomly cutting live bomb wires carries a 40% risk of sudden death when pulsing carries just a 20% risk of sudden death! Ultimately you will HAVE to cut a wire to stop the explosion, but with a little research with pulsing you can improve your success rate. There's a test bomb in the armory if you want to practice without the risk of boom.

**''Pulsing'' does nothing.
**''Cutting'' will do nothing, as long as the AI link light is on. If the AI link light is off, cutting and then turning the AI link back on will cause the cyborg to be slaved to an AI, but not synced with it's laws.
**''Mending'' this wire will turn the LawSync light back on as long as the AI link light is also on. The cyborg will then resume syncing with the AI's laws. If the AI link light is off, mending this will turn the light on, only for it to turn off again.

*'''AI Link''': If this light is on, it shows that the Cyborg is slaved to an AI and must follow that AI's orders. 
**''Pulsing'' this wire allows you to pick an AI for the cyborg to be slaved to if there are multiple AIs. If there is only one AI, pulsing this will simply turn it on and slave the cyborg to it, if it is off.
**''Cutting'' this wire will cause the Cyborg to be unslaved from the AI and bound only by it's laws. This also turns off LawSync, as the cyborg has no AI to sync to.
**''Mending'' this wire does nothing. You need to pulse it to reconnect it to an AI.

*'''Camera''': If this light is on, it shows that the Cyborg's camera is operational. If it is off and the wire is mended, then you have a [[traitor]] Cyborg.
**''Pulsing'' this wire will focus the Cyborg's lens, allowing you figure out which wire it is. It will also kick out anyone who is watching through the camera.
**''Cutting'' this wire will deactivate the Cyborg's camera, causing it to show as "deactivated" on the Security Console and the AI's camera list.
**''Mending'' this wire will reactivate the Cyborg's camera.

*A fourth wire, '''Reset''', has no light associated with it.
**''Pulsing'' this wire will reset the cyborg's module, allowing it to re-pick it.
**''Cutting'' this wire has no effect.
**''Mending'' this wire has no effect.

An emagged cyborg will have no LawSync or AI link and cannot be reset: it must be deconstructed and rebuilt.

Remember, cyborgs are very expensive! Do not destroy them unless the cyborg is completely out of control, and resetting the AI and LawSync status doesn't work.

==Tips==
* You can get 1000 watt powercells out of space heaters for your evil needs.
* Hacking doors: Cutting the power wire does 10 seconds to back up power. But pulsing also switches to back up power after 10 seconds, meaning if you want to open the same door for your exit you need to pulse the BACKUP wire to interrupt power. It switches back to primary after 1 minute again. Best thing is to pulse both the primary and backup then crowbar - that should give you the old style 1 minute window.
* To restore primary power to a door immediately, cut then mend the primary power wire. Cutting + mending is incredibly useful when you've accidentally electrified a door, or shorted APC power.
* Use screwdriver on mousetrap, attach to an igniter instead of a timer when making a grenade assembly, you've just made a landmine. Combine with a 100-100 potassium-water mix and anyone who steps on it will regret it.
* Singularity’s EMP can be abused to short out lockers.
* Inject plasma into a battery and insert it into a stun baton/prod. The next time someone attacks with the baton on it will blow up on them, seriously wounding both the holder and the stun target. Doing it with a high capacity battery or better will create a blast strong enough to turn the floor under the attacker to space, which will suck in the people caught in the blast and crit them before they can wake up. Use it as a suicide weapon or place it in the halls for some gullible fool to get himself killed with <s>if you want to be banned</s> '''if you're an antagonist.'''
* You can emag the light replacer, which causes all of the lights to be filled with plasma which will ignite if the light bulb's turned on.
* There is a single power cable supplying the entire station with power. If you don't feel like spending crystals for a power sink and you don't get seen for a minute near engineering, you can disable the power grid so that only very competent engineers will spot your sabotage. Though this only works if the solars aren’t set up.
* You can emag buttons to remove access restrictions.
* Wall-mounted flashers and portable flashers can be disabled with wirecutters.
* If you screwdriver a heater you can take out its really crappy battery or adjust the temperature it outputs. The highest setting, 90 C, will actually hurt people extremely slowly if they aren't wearing internals.
* You can screwdriver Detectives revolver and load .357 in it, but you can get blown up by this revolver. ADDED: Remember to unload the thing while you're doing it, or you'll shoot yourself in a similar manner to sawing a loaded shotgun.
* As a traitor engineer, you could easily do the following:
*# Go to a room, like a construction room, and find the APC's wire that shorts out the power.
*# Grab two signalers and adjust their frequencies.
*# Go to telecomms, in a hardsuit, and attach a signaler to the APC's power wire, which you found before. Close the APC and leave no traces.
*# You can now disable comms any time you want for a few minutes - and unless someone checks the APC and/or doesn’t look too closely or asks the AI, they will think it was an ionospheric anomaly. HONK.
* A good way to manually disable tcomms temperately is to set the filtering frequency on the hub to some number like 0.1. It'll block everything and most engineers don't know how to fix it.
* If you want tcomms down for good, disconnect the network links. There are -very- few engineers who can fix that, and it'll take over ten minutes if they're experienced with how tcomms works. It'll probably force a shuttle call.
* Another thing that can break tcomms: changing network of the machinery. It also breaks all links. Especially if you change it from tcommsat to something like tcomms or tcommsats, which is not that obvious when you take a look at it without knowing what is the issue. And even if they relink everything again it won't work. And then even if they realize that the problem is with the network name, when they change it back, it will reset all the links again!
* If you see a pAI with a great reputation who you like, and someone else has claimed it first, use an emag to unbind it.
* If someone is hacking a door and you want to keep them from following you, and you know all or most of the wires:
# Cut 1-3 useless wires (typically some combination of Door Control, ID Wire, Timing, Safety)
# Cut the bolt lights wire
# Cut the bolts wire
# Cut every other wire except the shock wire
# Cut the shock wire
:This makes it incredibly obnoxious to follow you - if they don't know the wires and don't have insulated gloves, they're SOL because even the AI can't help them pursue.
* Cutting the shock wire doesn't shock you, as far as I have been able to tell. Mending it, on the other hand....
* If you want to test hacking doors without pissing off sec for breaking in somewhere and you have maint, you can make your own airlock with the aux tool storage thing and make it somewhere obscure.
* Put bombs in the backpacks of brain-dead or catatonic people. ADDED: Advanced version: Get mouse traps, connect one with signaler with set frequency, then make a bomb with signaler on the same frequency. Put both in backpack. Wear it or leave it somewhere/on someone. ADDED: Wizard Mode: Take your 6 max cap bomb and build 6 voice analyzers from an autolathe. Set the trigger words to "Pete", "beat", "chick", "chicky", "boom". Find 6 station bound radios, and place each of them in a backpack with a corresponding bomb hidden about the station. Sing the song that ends the station.
* The secret to hacking syndi bombs effectively is to remember that the only wire that doesn't do anything on pulse when the bomb isn't live is the boom wire (aka the one to attach a signaler to after you start the countdown for 4 hours then call attention to it).
* You can wrench syndibombs to the ground so they can't be immediately picked up and spaced.
* Deactivating cameras has them show up as (Deactivated) to anybody scrolling through cameras, but disassembling them completely removes them entirely from the list.
* You can make remote voice-activated bombs:
*# Attach Voice Analyzer with a Remote Signalling Device and set a frequency and a code-phrase.
*# Make a grenade or a bomb, but instead of an igniter+timer, use an igniter+signaller and set it on the same frequency of your voice signaller.
*# Now the grenade/bomb will blow up once you speak the code-word!
* On a similar note, you can keep a 'revenge bomb' on you using a voice analyzer. If someone manages to send you in crit, you can whisper the code-word with your last breath (using .w), to activate the bomb, and make your killer regret his actions.
