Chart time - seems to do increased damage if you use Offence, otherwise does 1-2 damage.

EDIT: When leading with Defense, I got the "The feedback chatters against your connection, but your defenses hold." message 11 times so far. But — twice it did damage instead, shown below. Both times it used a Simple Filter to block a Midgard Shield. It seems that the Defense is "used up" blocking the Midgard Shield so cannot be used for blocking the Static? Both times, only did 1-2 damage which may or may not be a coincidence.

You queue up a batch for Static Feedback containing Simple Filter, Crash Script, Brute Strike, Direct Command, and Tactile Command.The Midgard Shield tries to block Direct Command, but you protect your function with Simple Filter.#Your batch slams into the loop, but it just integrates the attack into its static feedback.#The feedback chatters against your connection, dealing 1 damage to your system's hardening.#Subrelay Quad-448's automated defenses follow your tracks, increasing the Alert by 6. Without the way you slipped through the system, that could easily have been 2 alert worse.#Your connection flickers for a moment, then goes dead. Well, looks like it finally managed to block you.

You queue up a batch for Connection Buffer containing Simple Filter, Crash Script, and another Crash Script.The Midgard Shield tries to block Crash Script, but you protect your function with Simple Filter.#You crash out the buffer. Well, anyone who was depending on that will definitely be annoyed.#The feedback chatters against your connection, dealing 2 damage to your system's hardening.#Subrelay WTR-944's automated defenses follow your tracks, increasing the Alert by 7.#Your connection flickers for a moment, then goes dead. Well, looks like it finally managed to block you. Your biofeedback system does not take it kindly, shocking you for 6 damage as you're dumped.#You've earned 2 XP in Perception#You've earned 1 XP in Reflexes

Further edit, with two Static Feedback active, sometimes the first is blocked, sometimes the second is blocked, sometimes both. (there are the only 3 data points I have with 2 active and using defense):
