Spider Murphy

Spider Murphy is a known Netrunner from the Cyberpunk 2020 game setting, also appearing briefly in Cyberpunk 2077 assisting Johnny Silverhand, Shaitan and Rogue in the bombing of Arasaka Tower in 2023.

Overview
Spider Murphy is generally accepted as being one of the best Netrunners in Night City circa the early 2020s. Her quotes and stories are often shared with the same reverence as those from other legendary netrunners like Rache Bartmoss, Frack and Edger.

Spider Murphy's first cyberdeck was a Hitachi-Radio Shack 95, which she used to hack into a Zetatech sales office - from there, she falsified order data to have Zetatech send her a new Parraline 5750A deck.

Spider Murphy is much more skilled than other top-level corporate or mercenary netrunners. She uses a completely custom cyberdeck that is faster and more secure than decks used by other top-level runners. She tends to use utilitarian and non-lethal software, in contrast to Bartmoss who liked to use flamboyant and deadly programs.

In-universe, the book Rache Bartmoss' Guide to the Net was edited and compiled by Spider Murphy; the text contains interjections and clarifications from Spider Murphy as well.

Spider Murphy is fond of quoting famous and well-known philosophers and public figures, a habit she shares with T-Bug.

She is known for sometimes using the image of a well-endowed anime girl as her net icon.

Quotes
"You guys who live in Realspace; you move so slow. Me I like Netspace. It moves fast. You don't get old, you don't get slow and sloppy. You just leave the meat behind and go screamin'.

''First system I ever hit, I think they had some weeflerunner playin' Sysop for them. I burned in, and jolted the guy with a borrowed Hellbolt, and did the major plunder action all over the Data Fortress.''

''Somewhere out there is a guy with half his forebrain burned out. I wonder if they ever found the body. I wonder if they'll find mine the same way..."''

Alternate Timeline:

In Firestorm: Shockwave Spider Murphy recovered Alt, marked her personality file and threw her somewhere on the net to be retrieved later. She also captured Kei Arasaka in his escape submarine and pressured him into committing "seppuku" by running the Soulkiller 3.0 on himself; he then did so.
