Cyber Heroes

"Other 'Vulcans'..." Colonel Lei pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say. Computer technology has developed to this day and has penetrated into every corner of society. Network security companies are actually a kind of mercenaries and arms dealers in disguise. .'Vulcans' are all 'black hat' hackers, guys who are passionate about technology and like to crack software, find loopholes, or make profits or become famous. These guys who wander on the edge of the law will do their best to hide themselves , but they are really good at hiding..."

Xiang Shan smiled: "Just say you don't know."

"I can only say 'not sure'." Colonel Lei also smiled: "Sometimes you think you have caught them, but that person might be a stand-in. There may also be a group sharing the same ID, and under the same vest. The situation of a team of people. These can’t be said.”

"However, the more famous one is probably the arrest of Vulcan in India a few years ago."

"I actually caught one." Xiang Shan was a little surprised.

"After all, he stole the national secrets of a certain country. Although the country's network security personnel are not as flamboyant as those hackers, they are not weak either. He himself was not careful." Colonel Lei said: "After being arrested in India, he was extradited to Europe The trial in a certain country resulted in a sentence of more than 200 years. After about half a year, many 'cyber arms dealers' came over there and wanted to pay the parole bond for this hacker. Including some companies in our country."

"Uh, wait a minute..." Xiang Shan asked: "So many families together? Or is it a bidding process?"

Director Hu smiled: "This cannot be public, but it must involve some exchange of interests."

Xiang Shan frowned: "Can he move freely after he is released on parole?"

"According to the law, he can only move around designated communities, and if he goes out, he must be followed by a guardian or his agent." Colonel Lei said: "He must wear electronic shackles and must report his movements at any time."

"Uh... all this must be under the supervision of the 'keeper'?"

"right."

“Can the conservator withdraw the parole bond?”

"anytime."

Xiang Shan rubbed the bridge of his nose.

He had a vague feeling that "Vulkan" was probably in some inhumane state.

"Director Xiang?"

Xiang Shan thought for a moment: "This is simply an ideal employee. He can't decide his own whereabouts at all, and he basically has no power to negotiate with the employer. Otherwise, he won't even have any freedom at all."

That period of "exchange of interests" really had the flavor of "auctioning human beings."

Colonel Lei nodded: "If I were the boss, I might also like to use this kind of employee."

Director Hu said, "At any rate, it was the hacker who chose it himself. It may not be what you imagined, Director Xiang."

"Yes." Xiang Shan nodded. He has never been afraid to speculate on human beings with the worst possible malice. Maybe he was overthinking this time.

but……

Xiang Shan looked at the tablet that was still lit on the side. That page is where "Zhu Rong" discussed "Sita" with other hackers.

Xiang Shan has never seen "Zhu Rong" and doesn't know whether this guy is male or female, old or young. But judging from the technical content discussed, this guy has a passionate soul. Xiang Shan also looked for "Zhu Rong"'s past speeches on this forum and read some of the vulnerabilities and codes he released.

Xiangshan cannot yet outline a programmer's personality through lines of code, but he does believe that the programmer's personal preferences exist in the code and can profile the programmer's personality.

He just vaguely felt that... Zhu Rong was like a free bird.

——Go and catch that person...

Xiangshan couldn't help but think.

Of course, Xiangshan is not excusing this information terrorist. Although her behavior of stealing technical information and then sharing it was very appealing to Xiangshan, it was indeed an improper act that disrupted order. Xiang Shan had no intention of "not wanting to catch him".

But Xiangshan only hopes that after being caught, "Zhu Rong" will become a bargaining chip in the transaction and become a pawn of some online arms dealers.

That's such a shame.

"If Zhu Rong is caught..."

Director Hu was afraid that the chief scholar's "stubborn temper" would come up, so he said: "This has not been decided yet. After all, we don't know which country 'Zhurong' is in and what purpose he has. Everything has to wait until he is caught. .”

Xiang Shan nodded.

Colonel Lei said: "In addition, 'Hephaestus' should be owned by a Japanese. He is the leader of a well-known hacker group. It is a semi-public activity, the kind that walks in the gray area. They have always claimed that Wanting to grab the ID of 'Jiagu Tuming' means that you are very interested in the myth of your country. Of course, our country's 'Red Hat Alliance' has already said that it wants the ID of 'Zhurong', but it has never been available. turn up."

The three of them chatted some more.

Since they don't know which country or region "Zhurong" is currently located in, all major powers in the world are gearing up and preparing to raid any place in the world at any time. In theory, within the next few weeks, a "United Nations military force" could raid any room in the world.

When Zhao Xiangshan and his group came in, Colonel Lei had already worked in the "227 Special Project Working Group" for some time and knew some secrets. Naturally, he and two other colleagues performed the docking this time.

Then, it was he who recruited Xiang Shan into this special project. The two people are considered acquaintances. According to the "rules", there is a certain amount of human contact here. And now, Xiangshan is theoretically one of the top leaders of the "Hanuman Working Group".

So Director Hu specially brought him here to meet him.

If nothing else goes wrong, Colonel Lei will be responsible for connecting with Xiangshan from now on.

Until Zhu Rong was caught.

During the conversation, Colonel Lei vaguely mentioned that the fleet was preparing for war because of the turmoil caused by "Zhu Rong".

I'm afraid this is the case for both the United States and the Russian Federation.

It is unprecedented for one person to stir up the world.

After Colonel Lei left, Xiangshan watched the discussions in the "Risk" community again and recorded some inspiration from time to time.

At night, he was still studying what the hackers were talking about.

Zhu Rong seemed to be in a similar time zone to him. The two people's active time is actually about the same. Of course, it is also possible that "Zhu Rong" is a guy who sleeps day and night.

Xiang Shan's eyes were sore from watching, so he threw down the tablet and rested for a few minutes. Then, he took out his mobile phone and opened QQ.

Xiangshan is also a science fiction novelist in his spare time. This is one of the reasons why he and Jing Hongtu can have an in-depth chat. In China, he also published several short stories. Magazine editors and reviewers also attracted him to join some groups of science fiction authors.

Xiangshan happened to see a guy talking nonsense, saying that his work had been bought by a film and television company, and he was preparing to make a movie.

The review process for science fiction film projects is now very loose. Dozens of major production projects are approved every year.

Xiang Shan glanced at the guy's ID, but couldn't remember what his work was. After searching on Baidu, I remembered that this guy is best at writing "communication" stories. Most of his works are stories about humans and aliens establishing friendship in a relaxed and humorous way.

Xiang Shan put down his phone.

He thought of Zhu Rong again.

In the past two years, "Ender's Game", a science fiction novel about the war between humans and alien Zerg for many years due to misunderstanding, has been dragged out into a series of movies, TV series, and games. All kinds of popular and unpopular ones were brought out and bombarded with the public.

In these works, the aliens are not always friendly and easy to communicate with. There are also vicious invaders.

However, among this type of movies, they all emphasize that "human beings will never succumb to alien invaders if we join hands."

Probably those bureaucrats hope that the public will think that "aliens are a common concept."

At this stage, the topic of aliens is extremely hot.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a return to the classical trend.

Few people know that this is government manipulation of popular culture.

In the eyes of the public, the cause of these topics is the alarmist news from NASA that year - a celestial body named "Ogun" may be an alien artifact.

"I don't know why." This news triggered a retro trend of science fiction elements.

But "Ogun" is just the beginning.

Thinking of this, Xiangshan felt heavy.

The actions of major countries express their attitudes.

The more the attitudes of the big powers are like this, the worse Zhu Rong's position becomes.

Xiangshan looked at his tablet again.

He was still just browsing. All operations on this tablet are monitored by network security personnel. As an outstanding researcher, Xiangshan has the privilege to use it at any time. Xiangshan uses this tablet to browse the "risk" community during his break, which means that a group of network security personnel must be working overtime.

In fact, Xiang Shan also felt quite sorry. But today he really wanted to see the discussion of these hackers.

The reason why "risk" communities continue to exist is because major powers do not want to alert others.

"Zhu Rong" released "Sita", and within a few days, the website disappeared.

Doesn’t this further indicate that there is something wrong with “Sita”?

But when a group of powerful hackers became interested, Project Rama was in trouble.

According to their plan, they will first capture Zhu Rong, and then control Zhu Rong or other hackers to publish other information on this website, pretending to be "other secrets" to attract attacks.

No matter what, Zhu Rong will definitely be controlled.

but……

Xiangshan suddenly had an idea.

ticket!
