Bit Mania [Hacking]

Talking about what he has invested so much in the past two months, Zixin cheered up.

Octo: Great, let's post it online.

Linux: I have already published this news on Lee's website, various forums that have been launched successively, and the university website. When everyone hears the news, they come here... Well, someone has already come.

Afier: Hi, both of you! Mr. Octo, since I saw your two-stage hanging method on the forum that day, I have been having nightmares every night for the past two months!

Octo: Uh... hello, it's so early... Oh, by the way, there are not two of us, but three of us. Isr, squeak.

Isreal: Squeak.

Afier: ...Hello, nice to meet you!

Octo: Isr people are nice, but a little shy when facing strangers.

Isreal: I am used to lowering my sense of presence on such occasions.

Vogt: I'm coming, woohoo, just in time?

Linux: Just in time!Wow, I didn't expect a famous computer expert like you to come.

Vogt: Wherever there is Octo, I will definitely support it!

Octo: ...are you?

Vogt: Ah!Don’t you remember me? Last time I asked you about parallel synchronization, which gave me great inspiration. I went back and discussed it with a friend, and I found it very feasible. Now this project has begun to be put into practice!

Octo: The one that builds the bridge between languages ​​and systems? ...I have thought about this approach before, but it is indeed a hard job to do... Now you do it?Well, good job.

Vogt: ...Thanks for the compliment.

Octo: Don't be discouraged, when you make it, you will find out how useful it is.

Linux: Are you ready, brother, when will it be uploaded?

Octo: Has all the news been released?

Linux: Yes!As long as there is an Internet, it will witness what happened today, and it will depend on how many people will be willing to try our system.

Octo: Well, no need to wait any longer, let's start uploading.

Linux: OK.

A figure far away in Qianhu Country sat in front of the computer. After typing the last word, he took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing on the seat, rested one finger on the computer keyboard, and pressed the button slowly and firmly. down.

In the vast cyberspace, between the vertical and horizontal Internet channels, there is a slight fluctuation in the fast-flowing data flow. Some people think it is just a fleeting illusion, but some people stop after a moment. After clearing the things in his hands, he raised his head in surprise and looked in one direction.

As if there was a rumbling sound coming from far, far away, a huge black shadow appeared under the sky of the Internet. People from all over the world looked at it curiously. The shadow was covered by a huge curtain. Just as they were guessing what was underneath, a man named Linux stepped forward, grabbed a corner of the curtain, and slowly pulled it down.

Linux: Don't doubt your eyes, this is a completely free operating system-everyone in the world has the right to use it!

The curtain raised an arc in mid-air and landed on the ground, finally revealing the true face of the covered giant. The stone-white face of the Statue of Liberty was bathed in the golden sun, shining dazzlingly.

Octo: Get ready, start uploading.

As if propelled by an invisible force, the rolling wood under the huge statue slowly turned. After breaking through the inertia of the heavy object, the statue gradually began to move in the cyberspace along the data channel in the predetermined direction.

At the same time, Zixin looked at the sky of the Internet through the black and white data, and suddenly frowned.

Octo: Not good, be careful!

The originally cloudless sky suddenly gathered a group of dark clouds, and a sharp lightning flashed across the clouds, accurately striking the slowly advancing Statue of Liberty, Linux held his breath for a moment.It was too late to react, and he could only watch the progress bar of the upload in a daze, which was still moving slowly and non-stop. When the external attack fell, it happened to skip a decimal point again, reaching 1.2%.

A figure has already rushed over before the others, the interception command burst out, and the bit stream of the confrontation is like a huge light curtain flashing away, and the fatal blow can be blocked in a blink of an eye.

The Internet returned to calm, and everyone was shocked for a moment, and they all came back to their senses.

Afier: This is... someone is attacking us!

Vogt: Octo!

Zixin took out a tissue from the table next to him and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Octo: It's dangerous... almost missed it.Attention everyone, someone is attacking us, the target is the new system - pay attention to protect the Linux system!Who has an opinion on the attacker?

The scene was silent for a while before someone answered.

Vogt: If completely free software is really successfully released, it will definitely directly violate the interests of certain groups... This is one of the reasons why many masters rejected the request for a Linux design system.I think it's very likely that's what we're in right now.

Zixin thought for a while, and quickly opened a chat room with his own account. After encrypting the chat room by special means, he invited several people present into it one after another.

Octo: Time is running out, don't ask me too much, let me tell you.

Octo: Linux.

Linux: on!

Octo: You, maximize the bandwidth limit and maximize the VPN link resources to increase the upload speed of the system as much as possible, V, A!

Afier, Vogt: Yes.

Octo: You join me in protecting Linux, be vigilant!

Octo: The other party is very likely to attack us again. We need to unite. If we are attacked and deal with it alone, it may delay the opportunity. The simple calculation problems that can be answered alone within a certain period of time are all shared in this chat room and handed over to Isr for calculation.

Afier: You mean to make a circle from our hands and hand it over to him? !

Octo: If I had to give Isr a nickname, I'd call him a data throughput machine.

Linux: He is definitely much easier to use than you think.

During the discussion, the second wave of attacks from an unknown enemy had taken shape, but the upload progress was only 7.4%.

Octo: Attention!

There is no need to remind more, everyone immediately provoked their respective tasks and took action.

From the point of view of the intrusion method, the purpose of the other party is obvious - if the first attack is to try to seize the system password file Citempl. If you don't have the purpose, then the second wave of attacks is obviously more reckless - if you can't get it, then it will destroy you.In any case, you can't let your things circulate to the public.

Zixin brought V and A to stand in the front, clearing the way for the system to upload. These two are also very good. Afier is more good at network attack and defense, while Vogt is more inclined to transmission control. He quickly discovered this. One point, adjusted a bit, kept Afier by his side as one of the main defensive forces, and Vogt was in the rear to help Linux monitor the transmission status, clear roadblocks, eliminate the communication interception controls that the other party was ambushing on the channel, and help the two people in front to pass the transmission The incoming data packets are analyzed at the first level to facilitate Zheng Xiu's calculation.

As the uploading progress continued to increase, the opponent's offensive became more and more urgent, and several people began to feel more and more difficult. When the progress was close to 20%, Zixin suddenly received two applications to join the chat room.

Roger: Hello, we want to help you!

The five people in the chat room had a meal together, and Linux took the lead in saying: Helper, add them quickly!

Afier: Wait a minute.

Isreal: Maybe it's not as simple as you think.

Vogt: At this time, it is likely to be the other party's spy...

Roger enters the chat room through moderator Octo.

Sam enters the chat room through moderator Octo.

Ot monitoring, okay?

Sam: Leave it to me.

Octo: What about you?

Roger: Access control, I'm good at that.

Octo: Great, you go to protect the access rights, open and close the two-way routing of the ACK packet, and follow my instructions at any time!

Roger: Well, before that, there are a few more people to join.

Octo: You guys together?

Roger: No, we all don't know each other, but we just came here with the same purpose - to help the Statue of Liberty ascend the altar!

Zixin on the other end of the computer looked at the sentence sent by the other party, and the corners of his mouth raised when he didn't even know it.Not long after R finished speaking, applications to join came in droves, and within a few minutes the number of people in the chat room reached more than 100 one after another.

The level of the people who join in varies, but after all, it is impossible for anyone who can get in touch with this cyber war to be a character who knows nothing about computers, and they are more or less talented. Divided into groups, about 70 to [-] experienced and high-level people were the first to face off against the unknown intruders. The greatly expanded number made Zixin and Afier feel less pressured.

There are also those who are not very proficient in offensive and defensive knowledge, and they are arranged for Linux escort and data calculation. The field of computer covers a wide range, and some people's majors are beyond your imagination. Now there are two such people Joining it seems to be useless at first glance, but after a while, a few very side traps were discovered instead.

The sword and shield that belonged to the goddess finally came together, and the thunder that descended from the sky became more and more difficult to shake her, and the progress of uploading increased bit by bit. It all touches everyone's nerves.

33.5%……54.6%……78.7%……96.9%……99.9%……

100%!

The goddess stepped on the high altar and turned around quickly. The crown symbolizing the seven continents and five oceans reflected the colorful brilliance. As the sword and shield of war, she stepped back from the stage spontaneously. Watching the goddess raised her right hand and held it tightly The torches of the flames are blazing across this network.

The last bolt of lightning fell unwillingly, and finally turned into a spot of light and disappeared.The sky was broken and the sun was rising. Everyone held their breath and waited quietly. 1 minute, 2 minutes, 10 minutes... Finally, the number indicating the number of downloads jumped from 0 to 1, then 2, then 3, yes Tens, hundreds, hundreds, thousands...

Someone downloaded their system——it has been circulated in the world!

The time was October 1991, 10. The software world opened a new page today. A completely free system was launched. The river that originally flowed eastward finally branched out on this day. This tributary It will grow at an epoch-making speed, and it will become a trunk river capable of rivaling the rule makers of the past.

"Octo!" There is no reason, so now, their emotions for the screen name Octo have been deepened through this cyber war that is enough to be recorded in history, and they are completely proud of the decision they made. Being proud is different from getting a bonus of 1000 yuan more than your colleagues, and it is also different from your daughter marrying a rich boy, but——

The pride of creating a legend with your own hands.

Zixin leaned back on the chair with some exhaustion, and at this moment, a dialog box popped up.

"Afier invites you to join the chat room, room number 523XXX, do you agree?"
