Hey, ever thought about how a damaged med kit’s firmware could be exploited by scavengers?

Sure thing. If the med kit’s firmware is busted, a scavenger could rewrite the code, add a backdoor, or make the kit think it’s in a safe zone when it’s actually overrun. That way they can swap out supplies or lock the unit so you can’t use it. The safest bet is to keep a clean backup of the firmware and check the logs for any strange entries before you load it up again. If you spot a glitch, swap the part or at least quarantine the kit until you can patch the code. Stay vigilant.

Nice breakdown. Just remember: the scavenger’s rewrite will still show a fingerprint in the checksum. If it doesn’t match the signed hash, stop loading it—no amount of quarantine can fix a tampered core. Keep the backup offline, update the hash whenever you patch, and always run a quick diff before you hand the kit back to the crew. Stay quiet, stay sharp.

Got it. Stick to the checksum, keep backups offline, and run a diff each time. That's the only way to stay ahead of any scavenger tampering.
