The Hacker Undergroundspace are a very-loosely-knit group of Fen computer professionals and dedicated hobbyists who have pledged to use their "l33t sk1lls" only for good.[1] Not all members of the Underspace are AIs, although the majority are.

Their major effect is the tightening of computer security throughout Fenspace; a common Underspace pastime is to attempt to penetrate a computer system, then report on the result to the system's owners.

During the Boskone War, the Hacker Underspace Network worked with the Banzai Institute[2] to serve as Great Justice's data gathering and analysis group, at a level of effectiveness on par with government intelligence agencies.[3]

Known Members

Notes

  1. Well, most of them have pledged that. Trigon is a known member of the Underspace, after all.
  2. The Banzai Institute maintains one of the most detailed information networks in Fenspace, with the Global Frequency touching on all divisions of society, both on Earth and in space.
  3. If the Boskonians are making a profit, they have to sell somewhere, and that makes waves. Someone will hear it, and someone will tell someone else, and sooner or later, the Blue Blazers find out. From there, it's a matter of data analysis and statistical projection, activities at which the Underspace excels.
