INTERNET WORM
Instant Event
An undergraduate "accidentally" releases his homework onto the Internet. Curiously, only your rivals' sites are affected... Downs every other players' sites for one turn. All of them.

UNIX PASSWORD SECURITY FLAW
Instant Event
Another one? You may look at one other player's hand.
Matthew E. Grossman 2
GULLIBLE CONGRESSMAN
Instant Event
You convince the government to finance the "information superhighway". You may place a site into play untapped and without paying any further cost.

FORGED SPAM
Instant Event - Spam
You forge a spam originating from the target site. It goes down for one turn.
Matthew E. Grossman 1
CANTOR AND SIEGEL
Instant Event - Downgrade
Those darn lawyers get an account on the target site. It is permanently removed from play.
Matthew E. Grossman 2
MASTER CRACKER
Instant Event
"I'm doing this for scientific purposes...really!" You may look at one other player's hand and take one card to add to your hand (if you want to).
Matthew E. Grossman 3
FLAMEWAR
Instant Event
Causes the target player to miss his next turn as he is drawn into a massive flamewar. Also blocks the effects of a Righteous Rant (no one gains cred).

CHILDHOODS' END
Instant Event
Our brothers in intelligence arrive from the stars in time to save humanity from its own folly. This card negates the effects of Global Thermonuclear War; GTW is removed from play and all players still in the game draw until they have three sites in play again.

DIRTY GIFS
Instant Event - Spam
You forge a post to c.i.announce saying that dirty gifs are on the target site, when they are not. Target site goes down for one turn.
Arne Knudson 1
HOT SITE
Instant Event - Downgrade
One of your rival's sites finds that it has been playing host to a huge library of copyrighted porno GIFS. Reduce the value of that site by 1, or remove it if it was already a 1.

OLD FART
Instant Event
Say "I was on the net when you were still toilet-training" and reverse any cred damage done to you by the previous card -- he who played it takes the damage instead.
Eric S. Raymond 2
TROGLODYTE FLAMER
Instant Event
A gray eminence from the days when ITS or TOPS-10 reigned supreme scorches target for ignorance of 36-bit computers and ineffably superior pre-UNIX operating systems. Target's cred-gaining attempt fails.
Eric S. Raymond 2
RAPID DEBUGGING SKILL
Instant Event
Negate damage from a SERIOUS BUG REPORT if played immediately after SERIOUS BUG REPORT is played.
Eric S. Raymond 3
NAZI EMAIL SPAM
Instant Event - Spam
Play this card immediately after suffering a cred loss. A site that you secretly control becomes the source of Nazi email, and everyone forgets about you while they hunt down the Nazis. Sacrifice one site with computrons at least equal to the amount of cred you would have lost, and keep the cred.
Matthew E. Grossman 3
COOL SITE OF THE DAY
Instant Event
All players vote on whether the target site is host to a "Cool Site of the Day"; if it is, the controller gains 1 cred, but the site goes down for a turn, as hordes of people connect to it to find out what was so cool.
Duncan Blake 1
THE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD
Instant Event
You skip the cold, impersonal world of 7-bit ASCII and verbally intimidate the hell out of the target player. You get to look at the top card in his deck.
Michael Tresca 1
GRUBORTROLL
Instant Event
Taking on the persona of a disbarred lawyer, you launch a frontal assault on Usenet customs and common sense. Then, while everyone is distracted, you can proceed with your schemes. Take an extra turn.
