Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

Shengda indeed attaches great importance to anti-cheating programs. Even if "Legend" is no longer Legend, the three online games "MapleStory", "Ragnarok" and "Legend" are still Shengda's blood-making machines.

Nearly 80% of the group's revenue comes from this, and almost all of the revenue is used to support Chen Tianqiao's "Online Disney" dream.

If it were not a true dream, how could the Shengda box released in early November sell for 7,000 yuan!

The Game Division also held a small meeting on Monday afternoon for this purpose.

Li Yu, the president of the business unit, looked at the brief report in his hand and said: "Is this Huoyun Company the same company that operated 'Huorong Security' a while ago? Is it also in Shanghai?"

Several project leaders nodded. Zhang Haijian, the person in charge of "Legend" said: "It's them. The other party is very sure that we can go over and participate in the implementation at any time to see the effect. But judging from the other party's tone, I'm afraid the price will not be high."

Low."

Lin Xiaoshan from "MapleStory" has been very angry with cheaters recently. He seems to owe eight million to everyone: "As long as we can really counteract the memory plug-in, we will be willing to give up tens of millions of levels! As long as the game can return to the normal environment, players will

Returning thousands of dollars only takes a month or two!"

Several other projects also nodded, especially "Ragnarok". This game has been almost ruined by cheaters. Jiang Cuifeng feels that he is not far from unemployment. If there is such an effective anti-cheat program, "Ragnarok"

Legend" Maybe he can still be saved.

So he spoke in support: "With Huo Rong's technical strength, I think the possibility is still very high. Let's see if it works first and then say it. It doesn't cost money to see it."

Seeing everyone's urgent need for anti-cheat programs, Li Yu made a final decision: "Then let's go and have a look together. Select two games, bring along the technicians, and let's go and have a look together. We are all in the Magic City, so it won't take long."

The person Gong Yu contacted was Zhang Haijian from "Legend". After the two parties communicated, Huo Yun immediately started to get busy. The person coming this time was the God of Wealth, so naturally he had to entertain him well as he was giving money.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, a group of people from the Shengda Game Division arrived at the Jinbo Building. Various people came, including number 89, and the arrival of Li Yu, the president of the division, was something Gong Yu did not expect.

This must be hosted by Wang Zheng personally, otherwise it will appear disrespectful.

Huo Yun's conference room was not big. In order to make it less crowded, the only people present were Wang Zheng, Gong Yu, Fang Xing, and Zhou Ruoyun, who was responsible for serving tea and water and taking meeting minutes.

"Welcome everyone from Shengda. The company is relatively small, so it makes you laugh."

Wang Zheng and Li Yu sat across from each other and took the initiative to communicate. Li Yu was less than forty years old and the boss of a division of a listed company, which certainly had his own merits. Wang Zheng certainly would not neglect the other person.

Li Yu exchanged a few words and then took the initiative to get into the topic: "Mr. Wang, we are very interested in Huoyun's anti-cheat program. So the main purpose of coming here today is to visit. I think with your company's technical strength, we will definitely be able to

Eye-opener."

Mr. Wang did not refute, the technical level of "E2E" is there, no one will be able to crack it and understand its principles twenty years later, let alone now.

"As the saying goes, let's pull it out whether it's a mule or a horse. We at Huoyun have just entered the industry, and our technical accumulation is definitely not as extensive as Shengda's. If there are any shortcomings, I would like to ask Mr. Li for more guidance."

Fang Xing arranged for people to power on the two servers and a computer brought by Shengda and set up a small local area network. Shengda was worried about server leaks, so it did not connect to Huoyun's network. Screen on the computer

It is also amplified through a projector so that everyone in the room can see clearly.

Wang Zheng transferred "E2E" to another USB flash drive in advance, without copying it to the computer. He opened the "E2E" program directly from the USB flash drive and selected the clients of the two games "Legend" and "Ragnarok"

, clicked the blue eye button.

In less than a minute, the blue eyes are completely closed, which means the encryption has been successful.

"Is this enough?"

Everyone in Shengda looked at each other, was it so fast?

Wang Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "The server also has to operate. Please be patient."

Because it was a demonstration, the server was also equipped with a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, making it very convenient to operate. With the other party's technical staff here, Wang Zheng quickly encrypted the servers of both games.

Then he stood up and returned to his original position, saying: "The data has been encrypted. You can try the effect."

As a game manager, I am naturally very familiar with the popular plug-ins on the market. There are even several difficult-to-solve plug-ins stored in the computer, which can be used directly by opening them.

The first person to get started was Zhang Haijian, the person in charge of "Legend". He logged into the server to create a character and played for a few minutes without plug-ins without any impact.

Then, under the expectant eyes of everyone, he opened the plug-in that was currently causing him the most headache.

The plug-in can be run, and the plug-in interface can even be called up in the game interface. Zhang Haijian's expression was not very good on the spot. But he was originally in charge of this matter, and of course he couldn't change his mind at the last minute, so he integrated the plug-in's attack multiplier, acceleration and other functions.

Open.

If there is no effect, Gong Yu will not blame me for not giving face.

Zhang Haijian thought, turned off the plug-in interface and started to operate the game characters to attack monsters, huh?

Isn’t the plug-in enabled? Why is there no response?

After bringing up the plug-in interface, the plug-in still runs normally. Turning on the plug-in function is also smooth, but the attack value and speed in the game have not changed at all.

"What's the principle?"

With doubts, Zhang Haijian tested seven or eight more popular but difficult-to-ban plug-ins one after another, all with the same result:

The plug-in runs normally, but the data cannot be modified. Neither the memory plug-in nor the packet plug-in work.

Zhang Haijian was unpredictable. He stood up and showed his thumb: "Mr. Wang, you are really amazing!"

Wang Zheng smiled and motioned to the person in charge of "Ragnarok" to try it out as well: "Just because one game is effective doesn't mean that all of them are effective. Try more and we'll have enough time."

The game "Ragnarok" had flaws from the beginning, which led to unscrupulous cheating. The developer had no choice but to redo it.

However, the cost of redoing it is too high, not to mention the time and money consumed. Who can guarantee that there will be no cheats after the redo?

So it just dragged on, and now the game is basically out of date.

Jiang Cuifeng adopted the same test procedure as Zhang Haijian and tested more than ten plug-ins in succession, but all got the same result: the plug-in could be opened but the function was ineffective.

The two tests took almost an hour.

When Jiang Cuifeng stood up, he applauded. For a while, applause continued in the conference room.

"Mr. Wang, your technology is so powerful. Can you give us a brief introduction?"

Li Yu also came from the grassroots level of online game operations, so he naturally knew what this technology meant. As soon as the applause stopped, he immediately asked about the technical principles.

Wang Zheng had no choice but to start cheating, saying: "We call this anti-cheating technology eye to eye, which is E2E. This technology uses a new encryption technology to encrypt the data generated by the game client. In addition to the same encrypted services

No other program or even the operating system itself has permission to decrypt it."

"At the same time, it also adopts an original link protocol. While the transmission rate is greatly improved, the decryption speed is also very fast, which basically does not affect the game delay."

"In addition, as you have just seen, our anti-cheat technology does not ban cheats, it just makes them ineffective."

Li Yu also asked curiously: "Yes. Logically speaking, wouldn't it be more effective to ban directly? In the future, players will not dare to open cheats."

Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Mr. Li, those who use plug-ins to play games really love games. How can they make money from games if they are all blocked?"
