FRAGMENT02:
Attack in the "Network"
-Attacks in "Network"-
Computational load attacks
Attacking an opponent using high-load computation is the most common attack method in a network.
For an embody frame that repeats advanced calculations just by existing,
Overload due to logic attacks from the outside will hinder the operation,
The part that was attacked cannot maintain its existence and is damaged, or it temporarily loses its function,
In the worst case, the main computing engine burns out, and the damage is fed back to the operator, making it impossible to recover.
In general, "forced withdrawal processing -abort-" is performed before that happens,
If there is an overwhelming speed difference between the attack calculation and the defense calculation, even the withdrawal process may not be in time.
The encryption armor is to prevent logical attacks from the opponent by advanced continuous encryption,
By providing the auxiliary sub-computing engine, the defense computation can be performed independently of the main computing engine.
■ Logic Blade [Gumblar]
One of the D-rank weapons favored by KoN members.
Aimed at shaking the existence by overloading the opponent's calculation engine with difficult calculations
A short-range equipment with a particularly simple shape among arithmetic weapons - logic weapons -.
The Logic Blade itself only has the seed value for the operation, and the generation of the operation itself is done by the main processor of the Embody Frame that uses it.
Therefore, even with the same equipment, the power varies greatly depending on the specifications of the embody frame.
Since the seed value generated by the sword differs, many people carry multiple swords, such as two swords and three swords.
Logic blades have different ranks depending on the seed value of the sword. .
Logic weapons can be used not only for attacking enemy embodies, but also for destructive hacking that leaves traces.KoN members tend to dislike vulgar hacking behavior.
■ Operation Armor [Dorabella]
An encryption armor that counters logical attacks by performing real-time encryption against arithmetic attacks.
Although it is said to have encryption performance equivalent to Layer 2, it is not an official evaluation.
It has a sub-computing engine that is independent from the computing engine of the Embody Frame itself, and acts like a second brain.
The Dolabella was designed by KoN as a countermeasure against the armored surfaces obtained by Iizuna's trial operation, but the sub-computing engine is excellent, and it is widely used inside and outside of KoN, not only by Iizuna users.
This is because KoN adheres to the idea of copyleft.
The downside is the bloated existence weight due to its excellent computing power, which is about 45% more weight than the main body of Iizuna.
However, it can also be used as a booster by diverting the computational power originally used for defense to the computation for propulsion, and this drawback is covered to some extent.
Can be equipped with multi-purpose connectors in various locations on the fuselage.
■ Storage cell type AR pistol [Staxnet]
A D-rank ranged operational weapon made by HAL, a company jointly funded by the government and the private sector.
HAL's common standard called "Storage Cell" is pre-loaded with advanced calculations, allowing attacks to be carried out without consuming the calculation power of the Embody Frame.
Used in various weapons manufactured by the company, there are several ranks depending on storage capacity and read/write speed. The D-rank storage cells used as standard in "Staxnet".
The barrel of the storage cell rifle originally manufactured by HAL was cut down, and the stock was changed to a stabilizing brace, making it a design that emphasizes ease of handling with one hand.
The power has decreased accordingly, but this is the result of the emphasis on mobility for a hidden god who acts alone.
■ Invisible Halo [Alberti]
Equipment called "Concealment & Enemy Ring" produced by HAL, similar to Stuxnet.
While the Stuxnet is a versatile weapon, this one was designed for Inugami.
It can respond to various situations by switching between "concealment mode" that reduces its existence density and "enemy search mode" that detects a wide range with one piece of equipment.
With this product, HAL planned to expand its lineup, which had been devoted to weapons, but it was unable to eliminate the drawback of being able to conceal and search for enemies at the same time, and in the end the initial lot for PO "N" only produced.
