Chu Qiao took a deep breath, feeling a mixture of nervousness and excitement. She knew this mission wasn't just a technical challenge, but also a test of her logical thinking and problem-solving abilities. She sat in front of her computer, waiting for the system spirit to transport her to the virtual network environment.

The system spirit's voice sounded again: "Employer, are you ready? Once you enter the virtual environment, you will have a brand new identity - a network security expert. Your goal is to protect the network from hacker attacks, and you must also learn how to defend and counterattack."

"I'm ready." Chu Qiao answered firmly.

As the system spirit activated, Chu Qiao's eyes flashed, and she felt as if she were being sucked into a digital vortex. When she opened her eyes again, she was in a high-tech control center. The screen displayed complex codes and network traffic graphs, and around her were the busy cybersecurity team members.

Chu Qiao quickly adapted to her new environment and began working on her first task—a simulated DDoS attack. She needed to analyze the attack pattern, identify the source, and implement defensive measures. She opened a terminal window and began typing commands, running Nmap to perform a port scan and identify possible intrusion points.

As time went by, Chu Qiao became increasingly immersed in the mission. She learned how to set up firewall rules, monitor network traffic, and use encryption technology to protect data. She discovered that these technologies were not just tools for attackers, but also important weapons for defenders.

Chu Qiao's fingers danced swiftly across the keyboard, her eyes glued to the screen, not missing a single unusual move. In this virtual online environment, she not only had to learn hacking techniques, but also apply them to protect network security.

As Chu Qiao further analyzed the DDoS attack patterns, she began to understand how attackers flooded the target server with large numbers of packets. She quickly adjusted firewall rules and set up traffic filtering to reduce the impact of invalid packets on the server. She also configured an intrusion detection system (IDS) to monitor the network for suspicious activity in real time.

In a simulated attack, Chu Qiao successfully tracked the source and implemented countermeasures. Using honeypot technology, she lured the attacker into a trap network, thus protecting the real server from damage. In this process, Chu Qiao not only learned how to defend but also how to fight back.

Chu Qiao also delved into cryptography, understanding the importance of encryption technology in protecting data transmission. She learned the difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption and how to use hash functions to verify data integrity. This knowledge made her more adept at handling sensitive information. As her assignment progressed, Chu Qiao also began to focus on web security. She learned how to identify and protect against common web attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). She ensured the security of web applications by writing and reviewing code.

In this virtual network environment, Chu Qiao experienced countless simulated attacks and defense drills. Every challenge made her skills more sophisticated, and every success made her confidence stronger.

While completing her tasks, Chu Qiao also read the resources recommended by her system's book spirit. She spent her evenings flipping through books like "The Hacker and the Painter" and "Network Security Fundamentals: Applications and Standards," gaining a deeper understanding of hacker thinking and the fundamental principles of network security.

As the mission progressed, Chu Qiao's skills became increasingly refined. She began to predict the attacker's next move and prepare in advance. She was even able to design traps to trick the attacker into revealing themselves, thus driving them out of the network.

In the end, Chu Qiao successfully completed all the tasks. She not only learned hacking techniques, but also became a true network security expert. She knew that these skills would play an important role in her fast-travel journey, whether it was protecting information security or helping her better understand the world.
