update, 2 more since my last post.
1 was an exact clone of the small 2 room gurista I mentioned before.
2nd found with radar was a non gated area with 3 hacking cans and a single Arrogator guarding them. The cans yielded 2 EM Physics datacores, 2 Grav physics cores, and an Hydromagnetic Physics core.

Seems to me that Reward to Sec status is messed up 
0.0 hacking plex with 12 sentries, multible BS and cruisers drops 7 cores and an empire one drops more or less the same loot for a fraction of the difficulty

The Encryption books can be found inside the Hacking complexes that are in the corresponding Empire COSMOS Constellation.
Have fun searching for them

Found so far:
A belt with 40 Omber and Kernite roids (about 50/50) in 0.7 space. Some frigs spawning there now and again. Refined ore was worth about 20 million ISK.
A belt with 12 Gneiss and Dark Ochre roids (about 50/50) in 0.3 space. Rats up to battlecruisers spawning from time to time. Refined ore was worth about 25 million ISK.
A belt with 10 Gneiss roids in 0.4. No idea what rats as I didn't stay long, the roids held between 1500 and 2800 Gneiss each.
A drone complex with 1 stage in 0.7. Five small drones - totall waste of time.
A drone complex in 0.2 with two stages. Second stage held one BS size drone. Escalated to a 'drone freighter' 7 jumps away, that also dropped drone minerals only.
A Sansha complex in 0.2 with two frigs and a stasis tower. More rats spawned upon hacking of the 5 containers there (dropped datacores and decryptors).
A 'Sansha Minor Annex' in 0.3 space. First stage held 1 BS and 12 sentry guns. Upon moving towards an acceleration gate 5 more BS and some cruisers and frigs spawned. The Slave Commander dropped a crystal tag for the gate. Behind the gate 19 BS (up to 1.5 million bounty) plus support and cruise missile batteries owned us (totally unexpected in 0.3). Centus Bunker, a Sansha Control Tower and a complete asteroid belt of Hemorphite and Hedbergite. Tough cookie for low-sec. We haven't gone in again yet, so can't say if anything good is dropped.
Now recruiting!

1. hidden asteroid field
-.6
-when you popped a roid, rats would spawn.
-lots of omber and kernite roids - golden, silvery, luminous.. etc
-had a strange bug, if you went into the center of it, it knocked you out at 600m/s
2. blood hideout
-.5
-about 3/10
-lots of blood structures in the 2nd part
-not many rats, after blowing up one of the structures, got an escalation expedition
had to chase down 3 of the blood with 1 named.
unfortunately, it deadended on the 3rd part of the expedition.
lots of fun, but very disappointing when we reached a deadend.
Will post more as I find more.

After finding around 7 Complexes and some hacking/arch site today, i just found a Serpentis Hacking Site in 0.4 Space 5minutes ago and looted:
Incognito Data Interface 2-Run BPC
and several Datacores
The Site was quite small (50km diameter) with 4 frigates & 3 cruisers in it, but when getting near a container, some more waves spawned, like 2 cruisers 4 frigs per container, so no big deal)
But where did I put my gallente skill ... Anyway, Invention: I'm Coming!
So Folks out there: It IS worth the time, if you just put enough effort in it (btw: was a serpentis but found it with RADAR for those who wanna know)
Curious could you tell me the parts list on those interfaces? is it regular ore or special parts required?
edit: Also people posting in this thread, where are complex names coming from? With no beacons on the stuff I've found, where is anywhere is a name?

And for the names: Just zoom out to systemmap once you warp at 0m and you will see a little indicator with the name of the plex/site/belt right next to you ;)

I've found the same complex twice now, took me about 1.5 hours each time to find the bloody thing (and plenty of probes). I've only done the complex once though (first time wasnt exactly exciting).
Complex: Hierarchy
Where: Drone 0.0 space
Difficulty: Probably a 3/10, max was 3 cruisers, rest was drone frigs
Structures: The 2nd level contained a structure called Hierarchy, dropped nothing for me
Comments:
At warp in there are only 6 or so drones, but once you start to move towards the 2nd stage gate, more will start to spawn. Not terribly exciting and my raven didn't really have an issue tanking them.
The first stage contains 3 unstable wormholes, and 1 of those 3 is covert in bunkers. Not exactly sure what to do with them, the info-text of the wormholes says this:
"Your sensors show readings of the chart when you aim them at this peculiar phenomenon. From what little information you can gather you surmise that a stabling mechanism of some sort is needed for it to be safe to venture through the wormhole. But the readings also seem to indicate that this wormhole might not be a totally random natural phenomenon, but rather something that was created. When or by whom is impossible to tell and where it leads is an even bigger mystery."
So I want one of those "stabling mechanisms"

Two comments:
Ravey: the ôbugö in your hidden asteroid fields seem the spawining of a force field, like in some of the hidden sites of the Cosmos missions. Have you looked if there is some structure responsable of the effect?
Caletha: you could to try a with a disposable ALT and some warp stabilizers? It seem a possible solution. If you try, keep us posted.

I've cleared two low sec Sansha hacking sites and between them I only got 2 datacores. I only have hacking 3, I don't know how much of an effect the hacking skill level makes. ~2/10 difficulty.
All in low sec:
Minor Sansha Annex. -1 Drake latter in the second stage I'll be taking back something bigger. 20 BS + cruise and heavy missile batteries all of which agro on warp in. Unexpected but cool :). ~5 or 6 / 10 difficulty.
2 of one sort of drone site. Got an Expedition to another site one time but not the other. ~2/10 difficulty.
A different drone site. ~3/10 difficulty.
One arcsal site. Archaeology and salvage cans and a few rats. ~2/10 difficulty.
One small belt in a 0.4. Dark Ochre roids, Gneiss and Crokite! Only 2 of the roids were Crokite and they only had 800 and 900 units each. When the server is up I can say exactly how much of each of the other types their was but it was approximately 3000 Dark Ochre and 5000 Gneiss.
A couple of 2 stage Sansha plexes with nothing interesting about them.

Ive found four things so far .
Two hacking sites in 0.0 few Battleships and frigs and turretts. Loot hacked was a few datacores. No good loot from anything else.
Third thing found In 0.0 was Serpentis Fortress Quite a few ships there and a gate the first part kiled all no good loot nothing in structures etc .
2nd stage few ships killed all, no good loot blew up Fortress and got a message telling us to go somewhere to get some items in a certain time .
Went there few frigs cruisers there killed them. No good loot . Was then told to go somewhere to recieve a 1 billion isk reward so went there few frigs and cruisers again. message come up u have been coned there is no reward.
Fourth site was a belt in 0.0 with one bistot in it .

My first exploration site:
Name:
"Serpentis lookout"
System security:
0.6 in Gallente space
Difficulty:
Somewhere between a level 2 and level 3 mission. I could finish the complex (2 pockets) in a cruiser without problems. The first pocket had around 20 frigates and destroyers, one 60k-bounty-cruiser (all Serpentis) and one light missile battery (3 or 4 groups). The second pocket around 25 frigates/destroyers and 5 or 6 cruisers (all Serpentis, again 3 or 4 groups).
Found items/structures:
Nothing special, ordinary Serpentis loot, Serpentis bunkers, a communication tower without noticable loot. The only remarkable item was a Beta hull cargo expander (a 6-7 mil item) in one of the frig wrecks.
In addition the first pocket had 3 or 4 Hemorphite asteroids (in a 0.6 system!) and the second pocket around 10 Omber roids.
Additional comments:
- After killing every ship and structure I wanted to scan the ore amount of the asteroids in the complex but when I came back the deadspace was gone only the ship wrecks were still there
- Scan time to find the deadspace: Around 60-75 minutes with all four probe types.
- The multispectral probe told me two frequencies: One Radar and one "unknown". So I decided to use Radar probes and I expected to find some Sansha or Blood Raider complex. But it was a Serpentis, only the light missile battery in the first pocket was a Sansha battery. This is a little bit strange that only this single battery should have caused the Radar frequency although all other ships and structures were Serpentis. But maybe I found the complex with the "unknown" frequency spectrum and not the one with Radar frequency

Heya,
Found s.th. yesterday but couldn't investigate it any further cause of some stupid bug -.-
so I hope someone in here has found s.th. like that before and can give me intel on what I missed.
Situation:
It was a Base 3, Lo Sec, Hacking Site. (quiet 0.4 System)
Ok, i found plenty of them, but this one was different. One of the Containers in there was guarded by an "Medium EM Forcefield Battery" with a couple of Shield Recharger Arrays attached and 14km radius. So you coudln't use the Codebreaker straight away, but had to detroy that Forecefield first. (There were also, like in any other Base 3 Hacking I found so far, a couple of Frigs/Cruisers that guarded more containers)
Due to the Bug, I don't have any more Intel about that thing (couldn't even get the FField down or check one of the other containers), but as I said, maybe one of you has.

update,
the small gurista plex I've gotten (3 times now in different places) is Guristas Hideout
today it actually escalated and gave me 1 hour to go 6 jumps to expedition "The Soothsayers"
When I arrived at location (35 minutes left on clock) saw 3 targets briefly at 250k which quickly vanished and it gave me a message about my 'hunch' not panning out this time.
anyone had any luck with expeditions?
perhaps I'll try approaching cloaked next time.

A friend of mine got a "Large bistot field" or something to that effect in his home 0.0 system.
He mined out around 70k bistot of the various flavors.

Found a 'Exploration small hedbergite hemorphite jaspet' in a .8 system.
about 3 cans full of those 3 low sec ores, 8 rocks total.
the initial signal on multispec was grav. Took a couple sets of quests to get a hit as it's closest object was planet 1 of a 9 planet system and coverage was funky first time around. even when I got a hit it was .03 strength and 1.5 mil km dev.
Took 9 sifts to get a 250k deviated signal.... close enough, warped to it and bm'd a collideable object there and fetched my hulk. (had to switch to regular strip miners as carebear me never bothered to train up low/no sec refine skills and couldn't put h/h or j crystals on)
Still 1.2k zyd and a nice pile of nocx in safe space. I'll take it

so these things are out there me thinks each little downtime CCP are adding some variants - id like to see upwards of 500 of mre or perhaps randomness within each one just to keep things fresh - its coming along nicley found 2x in high sec boht 70m of omber inside (70m ISK worth of various sub types)

Found: Dirty site in 0.2 system believe it to have been an unknown sig
Consisting of two levels. The first level, has nothing to shoot, but has drone structures/radiance structures + various other structures and gate to next level. Next level, also nothing to shoot at but has a radiance warp gate, which I cannot activate, has anyone else come across one of these or is it a bug? Gate info reads.
These natural phenomenum that rumour says will hurtle those that come too close to faraway places. Wary travelers stay away from them as some that have ventured too close have never been seen again
Sounds Cool just wish I could get the gate to work

Just for curiousity, what was the name of the site?
I found also Angel hacking complex Base 4 and dam me i din't hacked all the databanks cos i warped out for some reasons and after that site desapear :(( i'm pretty sure there was a minmatar interface cos it was extremelly hard to find it, dam me dam me

The entire exploration experience so far has left me quite fustrated. I and my corp have 2 goals with it, obtain invention items and gas cloud mining equipment. The rest is not of real interest to us.
So far, I've been beating the bushes around tribute and vale for about a week and a half (vale because of the hidden cosmos areas). I've found:
Several coral rock formations. Generally with bistot in them, which made our miners happy but not me.
Several complex type finds, "Guristas Fortress", etc. Takes a crew to do and doesn't drop a thing.
Several Archeology complexes. After accessing them, I get salvage components, and several T2 2 run rig BPC's. This is the only good thing I've found.
I have found no hacking type complexes at all in over a week of searching, none.

in related news I haven't found any Ladar sites yet, are they all low/no sec?

I have found:
Arcsal base 1 serpentis - some rig components, but was gone before I could figure what to do in it (was my first site)
Arcsal Base 2 serpentis - 2x bpc of a tech 2 rig (drone mining yield bonus, who uses them?) and a gallente encryption book
Independence - This one was bugged
Hacking base 3 serpentis - NO bounty, No loot, NOTHING hacked (out of the 6 cans)

Guristas Lookout
found in a 0.7 system
two deadspace pockets and only let upto destroyer sized ships in
3 cruisers in first pocket 25 frigates (respawning weak belt rats after clear out)
second pocket 2 cruisers (one angel) and 10 frigates
Nice to look at and a total waste of time to do anything else with. Minimal loot, poor salvage. Killing structures yielded nothing, not even the overseer.
On further inspection first pocket showed 3 Hemo roids and 8 jaspet roids, all tiny. Second pocket had 10 omber roids also tiny.
Remember barges and haulers are not allowed into this area so all mining would be by destroyer including hauling. I couldnt be bothered tbh for the tiny amounts but I just wanted to give a complete report.
I too found this mission. It was in a .8 system. It seems as though CCP didn't do enough QC on these missions before they were released.
Example: When you come to the first gate of this plex, it tells you frigate class ships only. When you come to the second gate of the same plex you are told that this gate can handle up to BC sized ships. Tried to BM the second gate and come back to it, but it only brought me to the first gate.

"Only good thing" sounds like extreme understatement. Yesterday I have seen a T2-rig-BPC for 600Mil on the contract market (but to be honest I don't know if it was sold for that price). Congratulations!
But interesting to know that T2 rig BPCs can drop in complexes, I thought they could only be created in a successful invention job.
