Cyberpunk 2020 Software

This article requires cleanup.

Software, also known as programs, are the work horses of Netrunning; they do the fighting, protecting, decrypting and sneaking the 'Runner. If a Netrunner is a cybernetic magician, then programs are his spells, there at his mental fingertips.

Program chips are inserted into your deck before the start of the run. Once you're in the face, you're committed. However, if you're willing to dump out of the Net and abort the run, you can change chips (1 turn). You'll have to jack back in and retrace your steps, but this time when you meet that Brainwipe, you'll be ready.

You can copy almost any program in your arsenal. However, Anti-IC and Anti-Personnel programs cannot be Backup-copied because they have special copy-protection routines that erase the chip in the copy process, requiring a new copy program. You can attempt a copy using your Programming Skill against a Task Difficulty of 28.

All you need is the Backup utility, a data chip, and a chipreader to put it in. A chip holds 1 MU, but Backup is designed to break a larger file up over two or more chips.

Chips cost 10.00. Copying the contents of the average deck will cost between 100 to 300 eurodollar.
