- People were also known to connect to the Cortex illegally, co-opting someone's account or hacking into a public terminal with false credentials. It was possible to locate someone within a ship's orbit via node tracking—but from there, unless they were using landlines to connect, it was very difficult to pinpoint someone's location with only a Cortex trace.
- Nothing is known for certain about Cortex origins, as he has never shared details of his past and he is such an unique case that there no other basis for which to speculate on where he came from or when he came to be. To make matters more difficult, few, who still remain alive today, have seen him until the past year, and even then it is usually only in passing.

Most likely, Cortex was a silithid who evolved beyond its own species with the ability to control minds, usually those of other silithids and beetles. There have been other theories tossed around, by whom it is unclear, but all are equally possible given Cortex's unusual status. One theory is that the silithid form of Cortex is just a shell, a host body that the larger brain is using for transport and protection. This is supported by the overly large nature of the brain and the poor support the silithid body gives it. However, this could also be due to Cortex's shell appearing to have been badly damaged, leaving the brain exposed. This could still have been a result of the transplant of the brain into the bug.
