* StickyFingers: You can copy and(/or) delete literally any file on any computer you hack. Whether it's a good idea or even matters depends on the mission, but pretty much every executable has to be copied from someone else's system (though some are gifts). If you're in a hurry but looking for a specific file, one tactic is to just copy everything and look through it later.
