Bit Mania [Hacking]

"It was really a 16-year-old boy who spread the worm,"

"Colonel, although he didn't admit it personally, we can believe that he is indeed capable of creating such a level of virus and throwing it on the Internet."

"Oh,"

"Because he said, 'Let me save the situation before you send me to jail' and 'I'm afraid no one can fix it but me'..."

Black military boots covered with copper sheets walked on the marble floor, making a heavy and rhythmic "click" sound. Colonel Modric listened to the adjutant's report, rubbing his forehead with a complex expression, and brushing his golden hair back. Buckled in a military cap, only the tips of hair behind the ears are exposed. As the core force of US cyber operations since the 60s, Rhondasden Air Force Base has the most advanced computer equipment in the world today, as well as experts from universities, research institutes, and universities all over the world. The top talents in this field recruited from the private sector worked for them, forming the predecessor of the main force that the United States will compete for international network control in the future.

After passing electronic identity verification, the alloy door in front of them was opened, and the first thing they saw was a chaotic supercomputer group. Three huge central servers and dozens of working machines were distributed in the room. The security personnel hurriedly shuttled through the scene, the scene was noisy, there were occasional yells and orders, the printer spit out documents like crazy, discarded white paper printed in black was scattered all over the floor, and there was a faint atmosphere in the room. A man's sweaty smell.

When Karl, the person in charge of the computer group, saw the colonel, he hurried to him and gave a military salute.

The colonel looked around and frowned: "How is the situation now?"

"We... are still battling the virus..."

He interrupted the other party's hesitation: "Where is the progress? Sample storage, server repair, or user batch restoration?" Although his original major was not computer, since he was the commander of the air force base, he directly supervised the network. After the security forces, they still forced themselves to absorb relevant knowledge, so that they would not be unable to manage it.

"Yes... yes... cracking the... virus... shell..."

"What?!" The soldier who had been on the battlefield focused his eyes upon hearing this, and the condensed and fierce aura from the battlefield emanated from his tall body, and everyone around him shrank their necks in silence.

"Ten full days have passed, and you are still just stuck on cracking the shell that wraps the virus, what are you doing?!" He took a deep breath and straightened his face: "Tell me, how many computers are there in the world now?" Poisoned? How many do we have in the United States?"

"Five, five thousand..."

"There are already five thousand units!..."

"No, it's not... it's 18 important servers...and... 68...personal computers! The origin of the virus is our country...so nearly two-fifths of it are our... various The servers of the government department... paralyzed a total of [-]... This worm virus is really unbelievable, the person who wrote it was not a human... but a devil..."

The grey-haired person in charge couldn't go on talking anymore, his knees limp and sat on the ground. He knew that once some words were spoken, it meant that this knowledgeable old doctor would have a relationship with his own. Half-Life Brilliant waved goodbye.

Colonel Modric's face sank to the extreme, and he walked around the computer group with his hands behind his back. Everyone who was caught by his gaze was almost crying. Every second of time meant that more computers fell. The losses caused are already immeasurable. If this virus cannot be contained, it will lead to an unprecedented catastrophe. If it continues like this, I am afraid that the disaster caused by Robert Morris, who was known as the "father of worms" back then, will be destroyed. bow down in front of it.

"Where's that boy?" The colonel suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Adjutant Adelson was stunned for a moment before he realized who the parent officer was referring to, and quickly said: "Just detained at the air force base, do you want to bring him here?"

Hearing this, the staff of the crew immediately exploded.

"Master Colonel, I'm afraid you can't do this!"

"If he goes further, the world will be destroyed by him!..."

Someone else voted for it: "But he is the inventor of the virus, if you ask him to help..."

"Think about it with your empty crotch, since you dare to publish it, will he come back to help you again!..."

Amidst the quarrel, the colonel raised a hand, and the silver armband shone in the light.

"Bring him here as fast as you can."

"But, Monsieur Colonel..."

"Can you kill the virus?"

"Uh……"

When Xingchu walked into the computer center, he was immediately overwhelmed by dozens of hateful, perhaps even unknown, awe-inspiring eyes. People originally thought that this young man who brought disaster to the Internet would be responsible for the crimes he committed. Extremely proud, or frightened by the detention for several days, the expression on the face of the visitor is more dignified than anyone else.

"What stage is it?" he asked right away.

A group of computer experts looked at each other, they all stood there silent, their eyes full of guard, two of them wanted to answer Xingchu, but they were secretly pulled back by the people beside them.

When I saw it at the beginning, I didn't know what the other party was thinking, but the situation was urgent. Maybe these people didn't realize the real seriousness of the problem, but he couldn't gossip with this group of people anymore. Xia did not suppress him, he immediately stepped forward to push aside the two staff members in front of the main console, and scanned them at a glance, and the progress of the antivirus was clear at a glance.

"This virus is packed with a random PACK function, and it cannot be decoded by conventional methods. Let me directly analyze the code map!"

He turned his head and saw that the group of people were still motionless, he slapped the workbench in front of him unconsciously, and ordered in a deep voice like he had been used to for many years: "Hurry up, do you want to go back to the middle school teacher! "

The computer experts were taken aback for a moment, and they couldn't help feeling a sense of awe towards this young man in their hearts. They didn't know that it was actually because Xingchu had been in the top position in this field for a long time, making people feel as if the person in front of him should have been Their leader, their core, which makes his words unconsciously convincing majesty, produces a kind of magic-like effect, often without any deliberate action, people can involuntarily obey Act on what he says.

Once the target is targeted, what is needed at the beginning of the line is quickly calculated: "The code mapping attribute is bidirectional!"

"It turned out to be two-way?" Xing Chu nodded slightly, and his rich practical experience allowed him to quickly issue the next order: "Okay, implement bisection exclusion, and the network with node degree lower than [-] to the fifth power will be marked as hypocrisy Links, put them aside to isolate, focus on parsing large-width links, you go and stare at me, and report speedup ratio evaluation at any time!"

"Yes!"

"You, call the info command to scan the infected network!"

"how do you know……"

"Go!"

"……Oh yes!"

"That... speedup evaluation, 180%!"

"Okay, reduce the width of the bisection and increase the ratio to [-]%!"

"Three, three hundred?!..."

"Do as I say!"

"……Yes!"

Everyone in the computer room received their tasks one after another and got busy at the same time. While directing everyone's progress, Xingchu led a few leading experts to stand in front of the central server, focusing on overcoming the most core problems at this stage. One mind and two tasks, but easy to master.

In the supercomputer center of the Rhondstone Air Force Base today, the situation is completely different from a few days ago. Everyone is working in an orderly manner. Although it is not very quiet, it is absolutely orderly. The roar of the machine, the occasional footsteps and voices all carry clear content.

In one afternoon, the shell of the worm was peeled off, samples were extracted, and the core code was exposed to everyone. The next thing to do is to analyze it, and then develop a killing plan, and finally implement it.

Colonel Modric stood aside quietly, looking up and down at the busy Qi Xingchu with sharp eyes. Everyone was immersed in their work, and they didn't even pay much attention to when the colonel left.

The alloy door closed behind him, and Modric suddenly said, "Preparing for a special plane to Washington."

"Yes." The adjutant replied, paused, and asked, "Mr. Colonel, why did you leave the base at this critical moment?"

"Go to the Attorney General to catch up on the past." The young colonel in a dark blue military uniform said.

Even though something unexpected happened to Zixin on Qi Xingchu, Zixin decided to go back to the Internet after tidying up his emotions.

He has to figure things out.

He didn't study the software as a chat tool sent before the beginning of the trip. The structure of this software is not complicated, but it is very practical. It was widely used on the Internet in the early 90s, but given the According to the current state of the Internet in China, the vast majority of people who use this software to communicate are still from developed countries in Europe and the United States.

Zixin scanned the source code roughly, and found out its structure, followed the clues, and added one of the communication platforms that comes with this software, which is similar to a chat room.

This is a fairly large chat room, with 60 to [-] people online. As soon as he entered, he was overwhelmed by the chatting sentences that flashed by. The people in it all communicated in English. If this was a year ago, Zixin will definitely feel a lot of pressure, but after using the original books to learn computers these days, it is absolutely no problem to communicate with people in English, at least in writing.

However, he was a newcomer and was unfamiliar with the place, so he decided to keep silent and observe first. This also made him quickly discover that there were a few people in the chat room who seemed to be more respected, and other people's topics often followed these people.

Kerai: Huh, I'm finally back.

Stream: You are here, what have you been up to these days?

Kerai: Miserable, it wasn't caused by that worm.

Stream: Even you got tricked? !

Kerai: Well, it’s amazing. A few days ago, when I heard it broke out on the Internet, I was already alert. I didn’t expect the virus to be so penetrating. I didn’t open the email at all, and I was already poisoned. After working on the computer for many days, it still hasn't been repaired, so I can only use another computer to check it first.

Arteal: Even a top MIT student like you, K, has nothing to do with that worm?

Kerai: I have to admit that the level of writing this worm is really high. I am afraid that only a few of the world's top expert teams can do it...

Octo: Is it possible that it was done by one person?

Arteal: Ah, speaking of it, there is a lot of buzz in the computer world now. It is said that a 16-year-old boy nicknamed Elmo wrote this program. So far, it is conservatively estimated that nearly 20 computers worldwide have been poisoned... This number, tsk tsk.

Kerai: I don’t think so. If it’s really written by that person at such a young age, wouldn’t he have to start learning computers from the womb... How is it possible? Such a guy is not human at all, but It's a god... well, the demon god of destruction and destruction.

Stream: I have reliable information that the boy did it.

Kerai: Your news has always been highly credible... oh, if it's true, I'd say... omg!

Stream: He has pleaded guilty and is now helping to kill the virus, and the people from the US government have studied his level, which proves that this person is indeed capable of producing such a virus.

Arteal: To set off an Internet havoc with one person, wow, just thinking about it is exciting, I adore this person named Elmo!

This seems to have touched on a topic that everyone is passionate about, and the atmosphere in the chat room gradually became lively.

Candi: Famous in one fell swoop!I bet after this incident, Elmo will be directly among the top [-] hackers in the world, he is my idol!

Howy: Maybe more than the top ten. With his destructive power, I'm afraid it's possible to be in the top five. If only I had such a powerful level... Tsk tsk.

Candi: This is so cool, I want to be like this too...

Octo: Is that all you want to go to jail? !

Arteal: What do you mean? ...

Octo goes offline.

Howy: ...Who is it, inexplicable.

Csndi: Leave him alone and continue talking about our great Elmo...

Zixin couldn't bear to ask a question, and didn't want to say anything more with this group of people, so he left the chat room directly.

Qi Xingchu was arrested for spreading the virus, what is there to envy, have you ever thought about the situation that person will encounter next? ...that's cool, crazy.

His heart seemed to be stuffed with cotton. The anxiety that had been suppressed for a few days since the accident happened at the beginning of the trip was suddenly stimulated by the words of those people, and exploded in the air crackling.After sitting in front of the computer for a while, I still couldn’t calm down, and the more I thought about it, the more angry I became. Don’t you all admire hackers? Well, I’ll let you have a taste of it.
