System Cores, Defensive Subsystems and your Virus have:

Line 85:

Line 95:

You fail a hack when:

* your Virus Coherence reaches 0~~; or~~

* your Virus Coherence reaches 0

* the hacking window is closed for any reason such as moving too far away from the Container structure.

* the hacking window is closed for any reason, such as moving too far away from the Container structure or initiating warp during an active hack.

If you fail the hack:

* twice a Data or Relic Site Container structure will be destroyed

* twice, a Data or Relic Site Container structure will be destroyed (with a few exceptions, such as the Storage Depots in Sleeper Caches)

* once a Covert Research Facility Container structure will be destroyed and deal a large amount of damage to all ships in range

* once, a Covert Research Facility Container structure will be destroyed and deal a large amount of explosive damage to all ships in range

* once a Sleeper Cache will release a deadly toxic gas, activate turrets or put up other obstacle

* once, a Sleeper Cache will release a deadly toxic gas, activate turrets or put up other obstacle. Specific information can be found on the respective Sleeper Cache pages.

* once, any hackable container in the [[Observatory Infiltration]] site will activate lockdown

* once, the [[AEGIS Capital Ship Security Facility|AEGIS Encrypted Key Storage]] will spawn a hostile response fleet.

'''Self Repairs''' appears in all categories of hacking difficulty.

'''Kernel Rot''' only appears in Very Easy and Easy hacks by chance from opening Data Caches, and naturally appears in Medium hacking difficulty and up.

'''Polymorphic Shield''' appears in Medium hacking difficulty and up.

'''Secondary Vector''' appears in Hard hacking difficulty and up.

* {{sk|Archaeology|price=yes|mult=yes}}: Required skill for the use of Relic Analyzer modules. Gives +10 Virus Coherence per level.

** Relic Analyzers require Archaeology, and are a fairly cheap mid-slot module used to interact with Container structures. A good amount of your income as an explorer will come from accessing these Container structures, so note this skill's importance!

** Higher skill levels makes hacking Relic Site Container structures easier, with {{sk|Archaeology|V}} allowing you to use the powerful Relic Analyzer II module. Explorers should considering training Archaeology to V, especially if they intend to hack Relic Sites in NullSec or Wormholes.

** Higher skill levels makes hacking Relic Site Container structures easier, with {{sk|Archaeology|V}} allowing you to use the powerful Relic Analyzer II module.

* {{sk|Hacking|price=yes|mult=yes}}: Required skill for the use of Data Analyzer modules. Gives +10 Virus Coherence per level.

** ''A la'' Archaeology, Data Analyzers require Hacking, and open Container structures found in Data Sites, Chemical Labs and Ghost Sites. {{sk|Hacking|I}} has slightly higher requirements than Archaeology I, but make sure you get both skills, so that you can hack any sites you find.
