    just to check if i get it right in a nutshell:

    A) If my hacker is in zone of control of an enemy repeater he can reach any other enemy hacker (because they are connected).

    A2) The connection to an enemy repeater works only direct from the hacker and not through any friendly repeater?

    B) a killer hacking device can only attack hackers but ignores firewalls.

    C) as reaction to a hacking attack a hacker can try a reset (wip role) which works similar to a dodge.

    Is there anything else which protects against killer hacking except a bullet between the eyes :) ?

    Thanks!

    No, that was N3. In N4, the KHD only has a single effect : "Allows the use of the Cybermask and Trinity Hacking Programs." Basically, a list of 2 programs, and Trinity doesn't bypass firewall MOD.

    Correct
    Correct, no daisy chaining repeaters
    As above, they no longer ignore Firewalls
    Any trooper can always Reset against a Hacking Attack
    Most hackers can also respond with Oblivion which will Isolate the enemy hacker and disable their KHD (along with any other comms equipment) or they can use Carbonite to Immobilise the enemy hacker.
