System Shock 2 Hints
Hack
Most hacking tasks have a minimum skill required. Keypads can generally be hacked with Hack 1 (or sometimes 2), security crates can be opened with Hack 2, replicators can be hacked with Hack 3, turrets can be hacked with Hack 4, and high-security creates (which are rare) can be hacked with Hack 6. Each point of Hack also reduces the chance of failing a hacked node by 10 percentage points.
