PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer:
Visanj T’shkali
Affiliation: Closed-Market (Heavily Restricted)
Model: Venom Slicing Software Package
Modularity: None
Production: Semi-Unique
Material(s): Computer Code

INCLUDED PROGRAMS & THEIR FUNCTIONS:
  • Slicer Virus - General computer virus able to confound, disable, and bypass a variety of systems and software.
  • Coded Eraser Virus - Erases all trace of slicing activities and presence across a host of computer systems.
  • Tionese Program - Compound multi-directional navcomputer virus, able to confuse and disrupt fleet-wide hyperspace navigation, scattering fleets and causing premature and unscheduled departures from hyperspace, redirecting and reprogramming of hyperspace navigation programs to create misdirection and confusion, etc. Upon leaving hyperspace, virus then attacks and disables navigational computers, preventing reprogramming and shutting down hyperdrive systems.
  • Mynock Virus (Modified) - Extremely persistent and pervasive slicing program, targeting and purging entire databases to eradicate stored files and creating cascading systems failures or eliminating entire archives, such as wiping out whole research databases, etc. at blistering speeds.
  • Purge Virus - Working its way through and penetrating all internal security programming, this virus can assume full control over a central computer core, locking it down with a time-sensitive self-replicating virus, able to freeze out users and prevent access to information, systems controls, etc. before the time expires, simultaneously disabling all systems and deleting all files present therein. Can be used to hold computer systems ‘hostage’.
  • Retrovirus - A counter-acting computer virus, capable of delaying and disabling counter-slicing programs to allow original slicing attacks to continue.
  • Black Envy - A rapid-acting self-replicating virus developed by Black Sun and capable of spreading throughout entire groups of ships such as fleets and fighter squadrons to saturate their systems and transmit navigation data, communications transmissions, locations, etc. back to the slicer. Effectively can infect a small fleet and monitor its activities and internal communications without detection except by dedicated virus detection software, allowing users of track and observe enemy activity and communications in virtual real-time.
  • Modified Dark Virus - Able to infect a communications record, including digital messaging, electronic mail, etc. creating and forwarding copies of the entire contents of communications archives before deleting the original files.
  • Iron Eclipse - Able to take over and reprogram droids, allowing remote command-and-control, overriding safety protocols, meaning droids can and will then attack sentients.
  • Modified Snooper - Capable of entering a database and thoroughly searching its entire contents, including encrypted and ‘hidden’ files and sub-files.
  • TunnelNet VPN - A confidential virtual private network, able to maintain excellent integrity for live-HoloNet streaming and transmission of large packets of information bypassing censorship protocols to allow viewing of any of a variety of material while offering anonymity and protection for the viewer.
STRENGTHS:
  • One Heck of a Key: Uses powerful programming to launch covert yet massively powerful attacks, able to bypass extensive security protocols and encryption and digest through volumes of data rapidly and thoroughly to obtain information or assume control over targeted systems, then can effectively end the attack without a trace or wreak havoc on enemy systems as its user decides.
  • You do You: Can function autonomously, conducting attacks or remotely-controlling systems independently of its user, enabling them to carry out other tasks simultaneously.
  • Slicer’s Multi-Tool: Uses a tremendous programming package and slicing database, able to provide a potent slicing methodology and information foundation, able to react with impressive efficiency, effectiveness, and power to overcome a variety of security methods.
  • Hit from Every Side: Able to launch a simultaneous multi-vector attack, effectively operating as several attacks at once, able to defeat several security protocols at the same time and speed up slicing attack times significantly.
WEAKNESSES:
  • Looking for a Connection: A software suite, such as the Venom, no matter how powerful or how ruthless, still requires the hardware necessary to employ it. Given the complexity of the Venom package, the sheer computing power needed to employ it to its fullest capabilities, and the many functions it is capable of employing, the hardware and communications systems required to make it work must be highly-advanced. Without any such hardware, the Venom in and of itself is nothing more than useless code.
  • Secrets are Meant to be Found Out: The package’s various programs and viruses all have varying levels of detection evasion protocols, meaning that potent, dedicated virus detection and counter-slicing/monitoring programs may be able to detect attacks in time for countermeasures to be taken. The intensity of the attacks made using the Venom’s various software will increase the likelihood of detection by degrees as each of the programs are activated. In short, the more powerful the attacks, the greater the possibility of detection.
  • Nothing is Unbeatable: A powerful-enough counter-slicing/security system or an expert slicer or slicers working together can, with proper equipment, circumvent, counter, or disable some or all of the various programs included in the package if detection can be made in time.
DESCRIPTION:

The impetus of the Venom was to create a powerful bundle of pervasive and intense slicing programs and viruses, capable of penetrating virtually any computer system, network, or communications web, provided enough time can be had over a sustained connection. Like any snakebite, the Venom first neutralizes enemy systems’ defenses, decreasing resistance and weakening them as it spreads before effectively paralyzing and debilitating its targets, stripping the information locked away within, and if desired, wreaking havoc on those targets with potentially catastrophic effects.

The Venom combines a vast database of slicing methods, computer languages, operating systems, encryption/decryption, programming, etc. to make a most effective tool against any of a very broad range of systems, protocols, and programming. Heuristic programming allows the Venom to adapt and overcome new challenges quickly, probing for and exploiting weaknesses as they arise, making it incredibly versatile and adaptive. Furthermore, the Venom learns from experience, increasing its speed and effectiveness over time and use.

However, in the end, it remains simply a software package, and thus is only as good as the hardware it is working through. A sustained, strong connection is required with adequate memory and computing power behind it. Also, like any slicing software and viral software, it can – with sufficiently powerful monitoring and detection systems – be discovered and if done so in time, suitable countermeasures can be enacted to reduce, prevent, or cancel attacks.
