¶ ⚙️ Function
BoostExploit(onSupport): Increases any Exploit's power by +2 while Black_Hat is public on the fieldDataTransfer(onAttack): If an Action card is supporting a Barrier, one Function from that Action can be transferred to this Exploit
These effects allow Black_Hat to be used both as a standalone attacker and as a support card, strengthening other Hackers' offensives or stealing useful Functions mid-attack.
¶ ♻️ Strategy
Black_Hat can serve as a key piece in offensive Hacker decks, especially when paired with lower-cost Exploits. Keeping it Public early enables immediate synergy with other attacks through BoostExploit.
The unique DataTransfer ability enables creative disruption — copying support Functions from Admin Actions and turning their defense into offense.
¶ 🛠️ Technical Background
¶ 🧩 Definition
A Black Hat hacker is an individual who exploits systems illegally, often for personal gain, sabotage, or political agendas. Unlike White Hats, their actions are malicious and unauthorized.
¶ ⚙️ How It Works
Black Hat hackers use vulnerabilities in systems — often leveraging malware, backdoors, phishing schemes, or stolen credentials — to gain access, escalate privileges, or exfiltrate data.
¶ 🔎 Examples
Ghost_Net: A large cyber-espionage network discovered in 2009 that infiltrated high-profile political targets globally.Shadow_Brokers: A group that leaked NSA cyberweapons, including EternalBlue, which was later used in WannaCry ransomware.- Tools like Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, and BackOrifice are often associated with Black Hat activities.
¶ ⚠️ Risks / Importance
Black Hats pose a major threat to global cybersecurity. Their activities can lead to massive data breaches, financial losses, and geopolitical disruption. The cat-and-mouse dynamic between Black Hats and security systems fuels much of modern InfoSec development.
¶ 🧠 Trivia
BoostExploitreflects how Black Hat hackers often use established attack tools to amplify others' work or coordinate strikes.-DataTransfersymbolizes the tactic of reappropriating legitimate system tools for malicious use — a hallmark of advanced attacks.- The artwork portrays a faceless, shadowy figure — representing the anonymity and mythology surrounding Black Hat hackers.
