Network scanner

The network scanner is a holotape in Fallout 4. The player can insert this holotape into one of the Institute terminals to infiltrate their network and recover information.

Location
The tape can be given to the Sole Survivor by Sturges during the quest Inside Job or by Proctor Ingram during Outside the Wire.

 * If the holotape is activated from within the Pip-Boy it will still say "Internal Network Detected" and then stay there until the Pip-Boy button is pressed again to exit the tape.

If using a Xbox controller on a PC the on screen instructions to press X to insert the holotape are wrong. The correct instruction should be press A to insert the holotape and X to remove it. Rules minded people can appear to be stuck in the institute if trying to follow the instructions.
