Bit Mania [Hacking]

A military vehicle was driving along the highway in the countryside at high speed. The buildings of the large air force base gradually appeared as the field of vision approached. The military vehicle stopped directly at the base outpost. After showing the ID, the large alloy gate of the outpost was blocked. Open, the vehicle started again, and in less than 10 minutes, it finally stopped at the Network Digital Warfare Department of the air force base.

This air force base has a history of nearly half a century. It is one of the most important air force armed forces in the United States. It covers a vast area, has a national aerospace technology research and development center, and a digital information combat force, which shows that it must be strictly guarded.

The United States was the first country to put forward the concept of "cyber warfare". To put it in perspective, in the early 90s of this century, yes, it was almost the last year when Zixin was still in middle school. The special war in the Gulf launched by the Coconut Country was set up with a huge network of information arms. Rhonda Stern contributed a lot to it. I have to say that the results of that battle are really enough to make the Americans eat their marrow for a long time. In those days, when Hua Guo, the post-war country with patches on his trousers, was beaten back to the mainland in disgrace (here refers to the Vietnam War). Completely cured his faults, and even prescribed too much medicine, let the United States see clearly the fastest way to realize their ambitions.

Looking out through the car window, Xingchu saw the appearance of the building of the Digital Warfare Center. He knew that nearly ten years later, the three-storey building in front of him, whose windows were all armed with bulletproof glass, It will expand its surrounding area by four or five times as supporting facilities. The Secretary of Defense of the United States personally issued an appointment. Admiral Modric, as the young first commander, will command this giant beast. This place will no longer be a small one. Instead of being a small information deployment station, it has been transformed into the core of the US cyber armed force - the Cyber ​​Security Command.

At that time, the United States will arrange for troops to receive a series of professional war training closely related to the network at the air force base. Cyberspace will become a combat platform with the same importance as land, air, sea, and even space. At that time, the world's The history of war will officially turn a new page—entering the era of full-spectrum warfare between strong countries and weak countries!

Full-spectrum combat, to put it bluntly, means that when launching any action against a certain country, you only need to grasp the absolute advantage in information and intelligence, know all the arrangements of the opponent and what to do next, where the soldiers are, where the food is, Where is the king, and then quickly issued a corresponding plan to the special forces from the perspective of God like a cheater, and acted in lightning, so that the opponent would have no power to parry.Obviously, the party with full-spectrum advantages occupies a terrifying dominant position in the war, and the capture operation of Osama bin Laden in later generations is a very representative battle among them.

In a messy mind, thinking about the past and future, Xingchu walked into the combat center surrounded by a group of special forces. The equipment, checkpoints, and even many faces along the way were familiar to him. This is the place where he worked for nine years in his last life—— From 98 until Luo Zixin's death.

In fact, counting the years of confrontation with Octo, it is far more than these nine years.At the end of 93 in his last life, his family’s company was attacked by hackers. This was the first time he knew O’s name. After the new semester started in 94, he submitted an application for changing majors to his university, and devoted himself to studying computers until he In 96, war was officially declared on Octo.

To say that Qi Xingchu was in a hurry back then, and the computer he learned as a monk halfway through, the reason why he was able to compete with a ghost like Octo was because the things this guy learned were very purposeful, specifically to deal with hackers. One of the victims, the combined pressure of a sense of crisis and a sense of responsibility is enough to unleash the huge potential of the creature itself. The talent may not be as heaven-defying as Zixin, but it is extremely rare compared to ordinary people. He also has the exclusive teaching of a famous teacher, a genius The distance with the ghost is still infinitely narrowed by various factors.

There are nine or ten years in life, when you are willing to devote yourself to something. What's more, for young people, the proportion of color is often exaggerated.When Qi Xingchu learned the news of Octo's death suddenly, his heart was very empty.After Luo Zixin's death, he had been disheartened for a long time. The opponent he had been competing with, and even the character who changed the trajectory of his life, suddenly disappeared. The jumping code and data seemed to be a glimpse of yesterday. The human face was nowhere to be seen.

He thought that after Octo was arrested, he might change his past, or he might still stick to his own way. For this, he made various preparations. Even if that person had completely deceived himself, he still had a glimmer of hope. I really didn't expect that person to die violently due to unknown reasons shortly after being imprisoned.

There are some endings that you will not be able to accept for the rest of your life.

Afterwards he submitted his resignation letter, and wanted to live a peaceful life, but unexpectedly, after the resignation letter was handed in, he completely lost his freedom. From the initial house arrest to 24-hour surveillance, overt or covert agents got rid of him like tarsal maggot Do not drop until rebirth.

The culprit of this helpless situation, he remembered, was a strategy of the United States that had never been seen in the world. It had a romantic-sounding code name called "Red Coral".

It was also this red coral that made him see clearly the face of the US military, and he also broke his mind to have anything to do with the US. Therefore, in this life, he would rather sit in prison for a few years, belittle his own sense of existence, and then leave He can escape from here quietly, but the appointment contract, which is no different from a contract of sale, is determined not to repeat the mistakes of the previous life and sign it.

As for the purpose of Modric's coming to find him today, if Qi Xingchu is like others, Monk Zhangba probably still can't figure it out, but as a reborn, how could he not know what will happen next.

"I called you here today because we have received information that hackers will attack the San Diego Supercomputing Center and let you join our network defense," Admiral Modric patted Xingchu on the shoulder and let him think highly of him. Here comes the look: "It's good for you to be nice tonight."

Xingchu thought to myself that I can't bear your little "benefits", not to mention that you can dig out a person who was imprisoned three years ago to help, how frightened you should be for that "him".

On Christmas 1994, a hacker invaded the San Diego Supercomputing Center alone. As one of the most prestigious computer resources in the world, San Diego not only has an extremely large database, but also is equipped with the world's top-level cyber armed force. However, people broke through numerous defenses and sneaked in, wantonly deleted and altered research materials of inestimable value, threw a humiliating challenge letter to the well-known computer security experts in the industry at that time, and walked away.

The influence of that Christmas gift has become a nightmare for a group of people even after a few years. With such a big hacker, he only knows two, one is Octo, and the other is——

The contemporary hacker god, Kevin Mitnick.

And the victory of this Christmas battle has almost demonized Kevin's name. The media frantically reported the deeds of this super hacker, because of him, the individual heroists went crazy, and blind admirers came from all over the world. Localities swarmed, and national leaders began to lose sleep all night.

However, Xingchu was slandering in his heart, but he still complied with the other party. Modric thought that the young Chinese in front of him was completely in his hands, but he didn't know that Xingchu had other ideas in his heart.

When the security experts in the crew saw the general walking in, they all stood up and saluted. When they turned their eyes to Xingchu, their expressions were different. Xingchu stayed here briefly three years ago because of the "bright as day" virus. For a few days, although he left a deep impression on people at that time, three years have passed in the blink of an eye, not to mention the changes in appearance brought about by Xingchu's growth, and people's memories of him have gradually faded, but there are still some Shao Shao has a good memory, and after seeing him, all of them have complicated expressions.

Everyone has arrived, and the time for Kevin to launch the attack is approaching every minute. If Kevin's invasion of San Diego is his personal act, why can the military predict it... Xingchu looked up at the general, The other party immediately cast a proud look that showed his wrists to the sky.Qi turned his head away silently, and his contempt for this group of people deepened in his heart.

He worked here in the past and he is well aware of the many ugly inside stories of the headquarters. Kevin Mitnick had already intended to wash his hands after he was released from prison the previous time, but the military sent someone to sneak to the hacker god , Provoking him to commit a crime again, this method is commonly known as "fishing".

But a slap can't be made, and Kevin wasn't firm at the time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be easily teased successfully... What a mess.

In fact, he doesn't want to meddle in today's affairs, although it is not difficult to change today's history with his level of more than ten years beyond the times.

Of course, helping the military catch hackers or helping hackers evade capture is nosy. To put it bluntly, he has already expected Kevin's aftermath. The need to intervene, of course, is a later story.

What he has to do now is to protect the database in San Diego from a devastating blow-the data stored there are the hard work of thousands of scholars, the real innocents in this battle, and these academics As a result, it has now become a bait that the military discards in order to arrest hackers-according to his words, it is simply chasing after the root.

The idea in my heart has been made up a long time ago. When I came to the monitoring equipment, I checked the network status through the data on the display screen. In the eyes of people like him, the obscure symbols described all kinds of strange things as if they had life. known things.

The Air Force Base has already applied for permission to connect to San Diego's intranet. In his eyes, the firewall of the San Diego Supercomputing Center more than ten years ago is full of loopholes. If you act rashly, you will be subdued immediately.

Xingchu pretended not to know, and didn't need to care, and quickly set up alarm programs on several ports that hackers are used to using, an impeccable act of goodwill.Not long after, there was a barely noticeable fluctuation on the switch monitor. The other experts in the base were still preparing nervously, but they frowned at the beginning of the line——

Kevin Mitnick has arrived.
