| **Daemons** are [[:security measures]] with harmful effects. Daemons can be installed on [[:mainframe devices:]], so that the daemon's effect is triggered when all [[:firewalls]] on the device are broken. Daemons can also be triggered by the programs [[:programs:Faust]] and [[:programs:Fool]], walking through an [[:mainframe devices:emitters#Infrared Emitter]], using the [[:weapons:Overclocked Neural DART]], or by [[#scripted events]] in some [[:missions:]]. | **Daemons** are [[:security measures]] with harmful effects.

| The following daemons can be installed randomly on some [[:mainframe devices:]]. Daemons are never initially installed on mainframe devices at [[:mission difficulty#mission difficulty 1]], but always appear on some devices at [[:mission difficulty#mission difficulty 2]] or higher, excluding [[:mainframe devices:Security Cameras]]. Daemons can also be installed on devices (including cameras) during a mission by triggering [[Fractal]] or [[Fractal#Fractal 2.0]], accessing the [[:mainframe devices:Server Terminal#Primary Server Terminal]] in a [[:missions:Server Farm]] mission, or [[:KO|knocking out]] a [[:guards:Modded MkI]]. | The following daemons can be installed randomly on some [[:mainframe devices:]].

| If a device has a daemon installed, it will appear in the [[:Incognita]] view with a dark red textured border. The name of the daemon installed on the device can be revealed by hacking a [[:mainframe devices:databases#Daemon Database]], or by using [[:agents:Decker]]'s [[:augments:Neural Networking]] ability, a [[:items:Scan Chip]], or the program [[:programs:Daemon Sniffer]]. | If a device has a daemon installed, it will appear in the [[:Incognita]] view with a dark red textured border.
