Incognito reduces the strength of passive transmissions sent to the main system by defenders while hacking. Most (all?) defenders have 1 or more alarms which send a transmission which raises the alert level on the site. If the alert level gets too high, you will be kicked off the site.

If you have a Network Interpreter or Network Scan installed, you can see the passive transmissions. You receive a different message depending on the strength of the transmission:

You see a tiny transmission heading back from the defender towards central security. It's probably not a threat yet.

You see a transmission heading back from the defender towards central security. That might become a problem.

You see a large transmission heading back from the defender towards central security. Damn.

Incognito will reduce these transmissions by 1 alarm per incognito bonus. Network Silence can also permanently disable alarms to reduce passive transmissions.

Most other actions on the site (such as browsing files) are also reduced with incognito. See alert level for details.
