Theft can only be attempted during a 1-hour period every 3-4 days, roughly around a 6 hour exit window chosen by the Skyhook owner for their reinforcement timer.

Specifically, Skyhook vulnerability windows are based on the defender's chosen hour, offset by a value taken from a Gaussian distribution (bell curve) with a standard deviation of 3 hours. This means that it is possible (though unlikely) for a Skyhook to roll a vulnerability timer well outside of a defender's chosen hour[https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/skyhook-enhancements-live-now-faq].

Following this distribution, a Skyhook has a 68.2% chance to come out some time within a 6 hour window of the defenders' chosen hour. Otherwise, there is a 27.2% chance that it will instead come out at some time in the 3 hour window before or after their preferred time, a 4.2% chance it will come out 6 hours before or after their preferred 6 hour long time window, or 0.2% chance to end up at a time in the completely opposite timezone.
