Tech Hammer

Ha, truth...she is indeed a very scientist!

"I believe in God..."

"I know, but God won't bless me because I can't afford indulgences. The truth doesn't sell indulgences, but it can bless me!"

…

"but……"

"Nothing but, Mr. Sackler, the truth tells me that if you want the big guys you represent to get along harmoniously, there are two ways. The first is to crawl down, accept your teachings, show absolute obedience, and so on. When you are happy, you can more or less enjoy a bowl of rice; one is to stand up straight, you give me a slap, and I slap you back. If it hurts, you will naturally understand. I prefer the second one. I can't help it. When I was a child My father beat my bones hard, and it hurts even more when I bend them."

"So let me give you a suggestion. In the future, we can either not interfere with each other, or of course we can cooperate. If you want to cooperate, please show sincerity and respect. I don't have a sense of humor, and I can't make jokes. I even suspect that there is someone else. A little bit of depression. When someone makes me unhappy, I always think about how to pull someone to blow myself up. That’s it, but I succeed every time. Don’t you think it’s irritating?”

…

"Okay, I accept your explanations, but one thing, Ning, I'm sure, whether it's Intel, Microsoft or Cisco, as far as I know they all show enough respect for you..."

"Mr. Sackler, although your words of respect are indeed a bit exaggerated, I admit that they did not provoke me this time..."

"So……"

"But I can't bring CNN to blow up with me! It's not impossible, after all, they are using the Internet, but it violates the law after all. After all, I like to do things within the scope of the rules, so I can only suffer these The company has been shut down. I actually feel quite embarrassed, but you should know that when a person instinctively wants to fight back, he will definitely use the most convenient way. Who makes them more closely related to my research direction? "

"Please also inform them for me. If something like this happens again next time - I actually still have some inventory here. I can do it three or five times this way. It shouldn't be a big problem. That said Well, in the future, whoever troubles me, I will trouble them, whoever troubles my partners, I will trouble them, and whoever troubles our March Smart Platform, I will trouble them, if they think it is unfair. , can also come to me and cause trouble. Jianghu, it’s just retribution for wrongs.”

"But that's not fair!"

"No, no, no, Mr. Sackler, from my understanding, this is standard equal treatment. Just like in competitive sports, you can't be said to be good and fun-loving, and others will have to give in to you, right? At most I can only say that everyone is not used to it yet, and it will be fine if they get used to it in the future.”

…

"Is this also the behavioral logic that the truth tells you?"

"How do you say it? Maybe you don't know that my name comes from a Chinese idiom, which is better to be broken than to be ruined. Forget it, without taking up your rest time, why not let me share with you a poem I learned when I was studying. Yes, I can still recite the poem now. My father forced me to memorize it very well. But because it is a Chinese poem, it may not rhyme well when recited in English. You can just listen to it. Anyway, the meaning is That’s what it means.”

"The name of this poem is "Prison Song", and the text of the poem is as follows: The door is locked for people to come in and out, the hole is open for dogs to crawl out, a voice shouts - Come out, I will give you freedom! I long for freedom , but I know deeply, how can a human body crawl out of a dog hole? I hope that one day the fire underground will burn me together with this living coffin, and I should get eternal life in the fire and blood! This poem gives Here you go, to encourage you, Mr. Sackler.”

…

"No, no, no, Ning, you should know that I didn't want to hear these verses when I called you so late. Although they are very impressive, some of my friends hope to get the vulnerability information you mentioned, even if it requires paying. Some unreasonable costs.”

"Haha, look at what you said. I'm not a robber, Mr. Sackler! There must be a misunderstanding. I informed them according to the rules, and then submitted it to the most formal vulnerability sharing platform in China according to the rules. , and there is no intention to hide any secrets! So if they need the details of these vulnerabilities, they only need to contact the platform! If I have to say there is any big advantage, it must be to respect and abide by the rules!"

"But the accepted rules have never been like this. Ning, according to the rules recognized by everyone, the scientists who discovered these vulnerabilities should not only notify the publisher, but should submit the details of the vulnerabilities to these developers for convenience. They do it for the world's sake by addressing these vulnerabilities."

"No, no, no, those are what you call recognized rules, not our rules. You know, I am Chinese, and the rules I recognize are to abide by Chinese laws and regulations, and strictly abide by the rules prevailing in this land. Play by the rules. Let me give you a suggestion. There is a saying that when you are in town, do as the Romans do. Just follow our rules. Maybe this matter will be resolved smoothly? "

…

"So is there really nothing we can do? Even if it's like what I said before, maybe we can make some compensation on other levels?"

"Haha, Mr. Sackler, you are my friend, so I think you should understand me! Again, I am not a robber!"

…

"So, goodbye! Best wishes!"

"Goodbye, Mr. Sackler, everything is well!"

…

After hanging up the phone, Ning Wei took a long breath, feeling finally relieved physically and mentally.

This time the two of them chatted with each other without any irritation, at least not more than the first time they chatted with each other. At least Ning Wei never used any foul language from beginning to end. This shows that although it is difficult to establish a friendship between the two, it is at least moving forward.

Of course, it could also be that the other party gave the money...

For a reasonable person, it would be very embarrassing to curse someone even though they have given him money. Moreover, the curse words in the English department are actually just a few words that are repeated over and over again. They are far from as broad and profound as the Chinese language. There are N kinds of expressions of Chinese curse words, so swearing in English is actually a very boring thing, and it seems special. not educated.

Then he put the matter behind him.

Yes, the part he was responsible for has been done, and the rest should be the responsibility of the vulnerability receiving unit.

From Yan Ming's layout of the turbulence algorithm, Ning Wei discovered a truth. His heart was not dirty enough, and could even be said to be too pure. Many times I am still too thin-skinned and am too embarrassed to directly ask for benefits.

If you really want to talk about how to make full use of the technical information he submitted, you still have to watch other people's performances.

And it’s already starting to take shape.

For example, he has not really announced on the Internet that he packaged and uploaded these vulnerabilities through the information platform, but it has been widely spread on the Internet. There is no one behind the spread of this kind of news, and he would rather be beaten to death than believe it.

After all, the circle of programmers has never been very big, and the recommendation algorithms of those small video platforms are even more confusing on the issue of quantity. At least what Ningwei sees is that a certain programmer has other problems on the small video platform. The video with the most likes has just exceeded 100,000. It is still a video that has been pinned to the top. The data has been accumulated for more than half a year.

The number of likes for the video that was just posted that exposed the big news has exceeded 200,000. Even if Ning Wei rarely pays attention to these video software, he can analyze that this kind of data is extremely abnormal. The official does not vigorously provide the amount and is everywhere. It's basically impossible to get out of the circle in such a short time.

If the official recommendation algorithm has not been hacked by programmers, then the answer is obvious...

This is actually quite good. He is only responsible for the technical work of lighting the fire. As for the hard work of adding firewood in the later stage, it would be best if someone takes over.

…

"Mr. Lu's incident makes me very embarrassed. You know, we are building this platform mainly to share the collected network security risk and vulnerability information with platform members. Of course I know that win10 is a Microsoft product, but there are also The problem is, Microsoft is not a member of our platform! According to the rules established by the platform, we have handed over the details of the vulnerability to you, which violates our regulations."

"Liu Chu, you can't say that, can you? It is an internationally accepted rule to submit vulnerability details to developers as soon as possible..."

"Yes, Mr. Lu, you are right. I also know that this is the case, but let me tell you, this should be a rule that restricts vulnerability discoverers, right? You also know that these vulnerabilities are not our technical staff What was discovered was discovered by Professor Ning from the Frontier R\u0026D Center. For me, I can only act according to the rules. Please tell me. I have submitted the vulnerability information to you. If you leak it, what will happen? It’s a big trouble, and the higher-ups are asking me for trouble again, who should I talk to for explanation?”

In the office of the person in charge of the China Network Security Threat and Vulnerability Sharing Platform, Liu Qingyuan was doing Tai Chi with Lu Zhengyao, president of Microsoft Greater China.

It's been going on for a long time... but the attitudes of both parties are very peaceful and friendly, which is actually quite good. The only problem is probably that a lot of time is wasted.

Of course, it's hard to say whether the emotions of the two of them are as peaceful as they appear on the surface.

For example, did Microsoft leak its important vulnerability information?

Lu Zhengyao didn't know how Liu Qingyuan had the nerve to say such things, but there was nothing he could do about it.

It’s not fun once anything is put on the line and the rules are involved.

After all, rules mean constraints, and no one likes to be constrained.

And Liu Qingyuan was right about one thing. The so-called rule restrictions were for the discoverer. In other words, Lu Zhengyao could indeed find Ning Wei, but the problem was that he had to find Ning Wei.

It’s not like I’ve never been to Yanbei University. First, I was stopped and couldn’t get in. I finally found some connections to get in, but no one was there after I got in.

Of course, everyone has Ningwei's email address and phone number, but the phone calls can never be reached, and the emails he sends can never be answered.

Some people have also inquired that Ning Wei went to the R\u0026D center, but those who are always very well-informed have not yet found out where exactly that place is. Of course, even if they did, they probably wouldn't be able to get in.

It was really embarrassing. For Lu Zhengyao, he could sit in an office in advance with Liu Qingyuan, the main person in charge of the platform in front of him. He already had some business dealings on weekdays, so he was given face. If you speak too harshly, you may be kicked out...

After all, this is the territory of China, which is different from the pirate mentality. The communication method of hidden needles makes people have a tangled feeling of not knowing how to exert their power.

"Liu Chu, you have to give me an explanation on how to solve this matter. Vulnerabilities are unavoidable. After all, it is our operating system. We are more concerned and more capable than any third party to fix any loopholes in the system. , even if it’s for China’s network security, we shouldn’t be excluded, right? Besides, our cooperation has always been quite pleasant.”

"That's what I said too! But rules are rules. Really, Mr. Lu, please don't embarrass me..."

Just as he was talking, Liu Qingyuan's phone rang. He showed an apologetic smile and answered the phone first.

"Hey, oh, the results of the expert test have come out? How are the results? Oh...it matches the description. Then we still have to listen to the experts' advice and just do what the experts say. That's it."

After saying that, Liu Qingyuan hung up the phone, then looked at Lu Zhengyao, smiled and said, "Where did you just talk?"

…

America, 3:30 in the morning.

When the news began to flood in China, and three hours ago when the news began to flood on the Internet, all the big guys realized that they were not the only ones who had received a kind call from Professor Ning.

So in the middle of the night, many big guys couldn't sleep.

Many people are waiting for the result of the communication between Sackler and Ning Wei. At this time, the complete version of the conversation between the two has been transmitted in the signal to the ears of these big guys who have not yet been able to sleep.

"I like to do things within the limits allowed by the rules, so I can only aggrieve these companies..."

"Whoever troubles me in the future, I will trouble them, whoever troubles my partners, I will trouble them, whoever has trouble with our March Smart Platform, I will trouble them..."

"The most I can say is that everyone is not used to it yet. Once you get used to it, it will be fine..."

…

This sentence after sentence penetrated into everyone's ears, making people feel mixed emotions, as if there was blood from the mouth, stuck in the throat, and wanted to spray out but couldn't...

Is it wrong for them to do nothing about their feelings? So no matter what happens, you still have to trouble them? How could Professor Ning speak so arrogantly and unreasonably?

Really, it’s nothing if there are bugs in the product.

Every year, bugs are exposed in their products. The scary thing is that they know that there are major bugs, but they have no idea what level of bugs they are. What is even scarier is that these big bugs are suddenly exposed at the same time.

The reason why they must pay attention to it is that the loophole was exposed by Ning Wei.

This person has been recognized as a geek in the mathematics and computer industry, and he can always do some incredible things. Especially when these vulnerabilities are combined with intelligent platforms, this matter becomes very difficult.

The March Intelligent Platform has been running for nearly a year, and many technology companies have more or less seen the capabilities or destructive power of strong artificial intelligence platforms. Although everyone is working hard to analyze and research, hoping to make similar intelligent software to compete with March, the current situation is that we don’t have a clue yet.

Against this background, when I heard Ning Wei's words, I was not only angry but also terrified.

I am afraid that my opponent has learned not to practice martial arts!

"China's official vulnerability information sharing platform has confirmed that it has received the vulnerability information submitted by Ning. If according to what he said on the phone, the destructive capabilities of these vulnerabilities may be astonishing. Referring to the severity of Java log4j2, it may cause a wide range of information Crisis, and more importantly, when multiple problems are exposed at the same time, it will have a huge impact on the entire network security environment, and this matter must be properly resolved."

"How to solve it? We don't know the details of the vulnerability now. Should we ask our technicians to analyze the code one by one? We should be the first to know the details of the vulnerability, but now the rules are broken!"

"Actually, what I don't quite understand is that this incident could have been avoided. You should know that Ning is a lunatic! Why bother provoking that lunatic again and again?"

"Provoke? Pat, this is a country of free speech!"

"Haha... That's very good, Mr. Zuckerberg. I appreciate your attitude very much, but when the private content of Facebook users is released tomorrow, I will definitely like every private content that is released!"

"Actually, you really can't blame us, Pat. No one would want to encounter this kind of thing. Of course, even if they thought of it in advance... Do you think we can directly block the accounts of NBC or CNN?"

"I think what you said makes sense, Jack, but you should fly to China to talk to Ning instead of explaining it to us here! If that lunatic can accept your explanation and apologize to everyone , I promise that next time someone dares to target you in the board of directors, we will unite to support you..."

The current CEO of Twitter was so criticized that he had nothing to say!

This is the tragedy of Twitter. Because it does not adopt equity classification, it does not have absolute control over the company like Zuckerberg of Facebook. Therefore, when the equity ratio cannot take advantage, the management can easily be eliminated by the board of directors. recall.

Not long ago, the major shareholder of Twitter had conflicts with the management due to various issues. Jack Dorsey was almost directly dismissed by the board of directors. So if you really want to say it, this boss is probably the most stressed at the moment. Of course It can also be the one with the least pressure. Anyway, if you don't get along with the major shareholders, and it really doesn't work out, you can give up the burden...

"Okay, gentlemen, you are not allowed to go online and quarrel with the microphone and camera in the middle of the night! If the quarrel can solve the problem, I can go to rest first, and when you have the result of the quarrel, we will solve the problem again, how about it?"

The old man who had been silent spoke, and the big guys were silent.
