Not defending against hostile hacking seems like a really bad idea when your most significant enemies are the other Zoneminds.
Well, not armoured against in that 'if you start getting hacked connect to your next highest admin-bot and it'll set you straight.'

Since ALL the zoneminds rely on wireless comms to keep everything in line humans can start with a jammer and then exploit hacks that will only work if the bot can't phone home.

The zoneminds can't exploit this because both sides would have the problem.

Example: Dumbot hunter if given two targets of equal importance traveling in opposite directions at equal speed will freeze, call the nearest admin bot for priority, and chase whichever one the admin bot says to.

Humans can therefore jam dumbot hunter and have two targets of equal importance separate away from it, leaving it paralyzed with indecision and unable to call for help, thus allowing hidden human #3 with a portable EMP to get a good bead on it (or depending on how bad the indecision paralysis is, just walk up to it and hack it with a close range radio that can penetrate the jamming)
