Uplink Hints
Any special notes?
1 of 6: Remember that whenever you log _in_ to a system as admin, an active trace will start no matter what.
2 of 6: You have an option here. In every government-run Database, actually.
3 of 6: There are three user handles to all the Databases. Admin, Readwrite and Read.
4 of 6: Readwrite users can read and modify the records, without anyone tracking them (well, beyond the Monitor as you hack the first time, that is).
5 of 6: Just hack in as readwrite, (disconnect if you don't have a Monitor Bypass) and reconnect. No traces to be found.
6 of 6: You'll still have to bypass the Proxy system, though.
