All that information needs to be protected from hackers and criminals who want to access it, steal it, and use it without our knowledge or permission. Customers expect Apple and other technology companies to do everything in our power to protect their personal information, and at Apple we are deeply committed to safeguarding their data.
In this mode, two teams face off as Hackers vs. Defenders. As Hackers your job is to work with your team to Hack one of the two sites on the map to gain points. After three points have been attained, the Satellite will punish your opponents by frying them to a crisp. As defenders, your job is to stop the hackers at all costs!
Shooting Showdown 2 Hack
Unlike other battles, killing the entire enemy crew won't defeat the Flagship. Instead, a message will state that the AI took control of the ship. The Flagship will then behave like an automated ship: undamaged systems are treated as manned (even those that are hacked), and damaged systems are all progressively repaired at a set rate, except those with fire or a breach in their room.
Like any other ship, the Flagship consumes 1 drone part to deploy its hacking drone. This means it is possible (yet difficult) to avoid being hacked entirely by shooting down 10 hacking drones in a row with Defense Drones. However, this approach is very unreliable due to Drone Targeting Glitch (all images) and overall possibility for a defense drone to miss its target; additionally, many other projectiles (including missiles) are being shot at your ship, which can destroy or distract the defense drones. See another approach to handle enemy's hacking.
Like on the previous stage, it is possible to avoid being boarded entirely by shooting down the Boarding Drone until the Flagship runs out of drone parts. Since it uses 4 drones at once, this can happen quite quickly.
Phase 1 will use level 3 hacking against you. This can range from trivial to deadly, depending on which system it hacks. The system is randomised each time, so it may be wise to jump away if the Flagship hacks a critical system. Do not jump away if you only have 1 turn remaining before the Flagship destroys the base!
The worst hack targets are usually weapons or shields. Beware using a defence drone to shoot down the hack; this rarely stops all the hacking drones, but it does change the hack timing. If you allow the hack to land immediately, then a shields hack will end before the Flagship can fire its laser or beam weapons.
Perhaps more importantly, an immediate weapons hack will mostly overlap with the Flagship's 10-second cloak. Delaying the hack changes this timing, with the result that you may be prevented from ever firing your weapons! You will not encounter this elsewhere in the game, since no other enemies have both hacking and cloaking.
It's sometimes possible to use a defence drone to selectively block hacks. You can watch where the drone is aiming, and then unpower if it looks like the hack is heading for an unimportant system. This could result in a delayed weapons or shields hack, however!
With cloaking, even a single point of damage to the missiles (including ion damage) will allow your cloak to recharge in time for the next volley. The damage does need to come early enough, not immediately before the missiles fire. With both cloaking and hacking, hacking the missiles will allow you to cloak every volley.
With hacking, cloaking, and a teleporter: hack and cloak missiles, while boarding the ion and beam weapons. This neutralises the Flagship's offence. You can then board missiles and gradually kill off the enemy crew, who will have difficulty escaping to the medbay since hacking locks the doors.
Text called "White Noise" will also appear on the screen during Nonstop Debates, moving around the screen and making it harder to hit weak points. White Noise can be removed from the screen by shooting it. Successfully shooting white noise will add seconds onto the time limit, but accidentally hitting White Noise with Truth Bullets while aiming at a Weak Point will decrease the time limit. From Danganronpa 2 onwards, White Noise takes multiple shots to destroy as the game progresses.
For a game with such a silly tone, it always felt off to me that I could make DedSec's likeable Marcus Holloway shoot to kill. Killing cops and pedestrians and even the "bad guys" was, for me, at odds with the philosophy of the underground hacker group and its mission - to gain more followers on social media by humiliating corrupt companies and the morally bankrupt establishment.
Watch Dogs 2 had just two non-lethal weapons, the 2EZ Stun Gun and the Thunderball. Neither was particularly useful out in the field. So, in a bid to play Watch Dogs 2 the way I felt it should be played, I'd focus on completing missions through the use of the drone, camera hacking and the odd triggered stun explosion. Still, I always felt that Watch Dogs 2 could have done with a few more non-lethal weapons, because sometimes even the best laid plans go pear-shaped. Thankfully, that's what the game is getting with the latest DLC.
That's a fun use for the thing in single-player, but it's in multiplayer that the paintball gun comes into its own. It's the perfect weapon for trolls. It doesn't do a lot of damage, which makes sense, but it does splat colourful blobs onto the camera of the player you're shooting at, which obscures their vision. When you're on the receiving end of paintball gun fire, it's incredibly annoying. When you're spraying someone with it, it's a laugh. This kind of trolling is exactly what I want from Watch Dogs 2 multiplayer. This is DedSec, after all.
But in this specific case, the FBI is asking for much less than a general back door into encrypted iPhones, and the Bureau argues there's ample precedent for its request. The police have long asked telephone companies, banks, landlords, and other businesses to help them spy on the activities of criminal suspects. As long as the requests are narrowly targeted and receive proper judicial oversight, they have not been especially controversial. The FBI argues that by asking Apple to help them hack into Farook's iPhone, it's just exercising the same kind of power in the digital realm that it's long exercised in other areas of life.
We can expect Apple to challenge the magistrate judge's order. The case's ultimate significance may depend less on whether Apple wins or loses than on the precedent that's set in the process. Giving law enforcement agencies broad power to order technology companies to hack into their customers' devices could be terrifying. But the courts may be able to find a legal principle that allows access in compelling cases like this one without making device hacking a routine law enforcement tool.
Technologists say that if technology companies deliberately weaken their encryption products to accommodate the US government, they'll simultaneously make those products more vulnerable to hackers and foreign governments seeking to exploit those same weaknesses. Either you build data security systems from the ground up to be unbreakable, in which case the government can't crack them either, or else you deliberately create exploitable security holes, in which case a whole range of bad actors can exploit them.
Apple has tried to tie the debate over the San Bernardino request to this larger debate over back doors, arguing that it shouldn't be forced to provide law enforcement with a back door into its products. But a crucial difference here is that Apple isn't being asked to proactively introduce a security vulnerability into every iPhone. Rather, it's being asked to help hack into the phone of a dead terrorism suspect.
Finally, the FBI notes, only Apple can aid the FBI here. The iPhone is designed to only accept software updates from Apple. That means that even if the FBI were able to create its own hacked iPhone software, it wouldn't be able to install the software on Farook's iPhone without Apple's assistance.
John demonstrates his precocious hacking skills at a Van Nuys bank on Roscoe Boulevard. But not too fast, amateur location scouts: The ATM in question is no more. The building now houses a medical clinic.
Fittingly, the chase sequence in the parking garage beneath Pescadero was filmed at the future site of the Petersen Automotive Museum. At the time of shooting, it was a vacant building that had once housed an Ohrbach's department store.
T2's fiery final showdown was filmed at the enormous Kaiser Steel Plant, which at the time of production had long been abandoned. Opened in 1942 by Henry J. Kaiser to provide steel for the war effort, it closed in 1983 and was later sold to a Chinese steel company, who disassembled the plant piece by piece and shipped it to China.
