Electric Empress is the undisputed top rank. Name another Netraver who infiltrated a city’s GeoCore sec codes? If she dived deeper and set that core to critical, she could’ve nuked Pallad City from below.

Nah. Problem with Electric Empress is she has limits. She’s strictly gray hat, so who knows what she’s really capable of? Skilled Netraver, sure, but not in the same tier as the Black Queen. BQ is legendary. She collapsed multiple megacorps in a single day and bypassed Enterprise-class Net-barriers like they were vaporcode.

Srsly? U people need 2 learn bout real NETRAVERS, not lo-tier hackrs. Only 1 name u gotta kno. PSYCHO CIRCUIT.

Circuit’s batshit insane, but no one can blast code like he can

Was waiting to see someone mention Circuit. Guy’s a legit criminal. Definitely the most notorious Netraver on this list and probably the most skilled, for better or worse. @StrangleOrder, strongly doubt Electric Empress could’ve dived enough to overload the GeoCore. I hear the final barrier on those things will literally fry your system. And if you Netdive with a neural interface, we’re talking instant brainburst.

I wonder how many of these rampant AI incidents these nutters are actually behind?
Also, this is why you should not connect potentially dangerous equipment to the internet without some well-engineered barriers. I’m not talking about network firewalls here, I’m talking about interfaces made by electrical engineers as opposed to by programmers. Because what can be programmed can be reprogrammed.
Well, when they added rewiring by software commands, this was bypassed as well, but real engineers in the real world don’t have to worry about that! …yet. (when we do we’re in deep shit, can’t have that anywhere near something that has to be somewhat secure, things will have to become significantly less connected)
With the recent hacking and shutdown of the pipeline on the east coast of the U.S. this shit is all too real.
With Reena due to go undercover shortly Madison may not have someone to watch her back, like in this case.
Reminds me of character designs from the early 90s
