921 Dr. Z Reappears (3/4)

Chapter 921 Dr. Z Comes Back (34)

New York.

In a certain apartment building in the suburbs, there is a dark room with curtains closed, and the air conditioner is fully turned on. The dark tones and shivering cold in the room reminded one of a hospital morgue.

If it weren't for the three large screens on the table, a few empty cans of Coke, and the whining case, it could be said that there was no breath of life in the whole room.

Returning from the entrance with a pizza he just ordered, a man with a gloomy expression went back to the computer desk and sat down, holding the mouse and clicking twice.

On the three screens in front of him, there were strings of codes spreading out like a waterfall on the interface with black background and white frame.

Ordinary people would be dazzled by the complexity of this code if they saw it, but for him, he knows every string of characters on the screen like the back of his hand.

"A big fish..."

"Let me catch you! Perfect!"

Smacking his tongue, the corner of Lone Wolf's mouth twitched triumphantly, he grabbed the pizza and took a bite.

This time it is "Convenience Network".

Although there is no instruction from the BOSS, he believes that it is time to expand the battlefield beyond the media.

After all, they are not a well-disciplined and unified organization anyway, and he can't think of any official website of Huaguo Media that hasn't been hacked.

Through the deadly lines of code, he seems to have seen the desperate expressions on the faces of those people who are tens of thousands of kilometers away from him, who are anxious but helpless in the server room.

But at this moment, he suddenly received a private message from his account on a trading forum on the dark web.

"... Has the 'takeaway' I ordered arrived?"

The takeaway here naturally does not refer to real takeaways, but broilers that are often used for DOS attacks or other bad things.

For a hacker, catching broilers can be said to be a basic skill. He also has a lot of broiler reserves, including many high-quality goods, but what he is going to do now is an earth-shattering event, buying from colleagues on the dark web. A little bit is far more efficient than grasping slowly by yourself.

Looking at the unread message mark, Lone Wolf muttered to himself, holding the mouse and clicking on the private message.

However, at this moment, he was stunned when he saw the content of the private message.

【Well, kind master let me give you a chance to reform, or you should turn yourself in (')】

"...Pfft."

"Hahahahaha!"

Leaning back on the computer chair with a belly laugh, the Lone Wolf casually threw the private message into the recycle bin while suppressing a laugh, then logged out of the vest account used for trading, and logged in to the spare one.

"It's so funny... I found the vest I used to trade and thought I could be dealt with? Turn yourself in? Go eat shit!"

It's not hard to find their trading vests, and now the whole hacker community is paying attention to this matter. Those who choose to trade broilers at this time are either sellers who want to provide them with bullets, or members of Predatory Eagle, that is, their own people.

As long as you see his transaction information, you can guess who this vest belongs to with your toes.

However, he didn't panic at all, because trying to find its real body from the vest on the dark web was even more difficult than throwing a dart at random on a map of North America, hitting his address.

But at this moment, he suddenly found out from the corner of his eye that on the interface on the left screen, a line corresponding to the address information of the official website server of Huaguo Jinling University suddenly lit up with a green mark.

This means that the server that he planted a Trojan horse and was physically disconnected from the network by the administrator actually turned on and connected to the network? !

Are you so unafraid of death?

"Hmph... You idiot who can't control himself."

With a slight sneer in his mouth, Lone Wolf put his hands on the keyboard, ready to teach those who are overwhelmed.

However, when he pressed the first button, he froze.

I saw a dialog box suddenly popped up without warning, and it also carried a string of characters with unknown meanings.

【(*ω)╰hi╯】

Lone Wolf: "???"

...

Internet Supervision Bureau.

2.17 Office of Major Cybercrime Squad.

Although the wall clock on the wall has turned, the people sitting here are still working overtime.

There was a bottle of air-conditioned Jianlibao next to the computer desk. Director Hong, who was staring at the computer screen meticulously, suddenly said something cursing.

"MMP's, it's like whack-a-mole!"

Yes, whack-a-mole.

The other party is like a group of rats who have fled into the granary and built a nest, gnawing here and there, making them exhausted in fighting the fire, but treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

Standing in the network supervisor's office, Director Li of the Science and Industry Bureau who just came over from the Shangjing National Hotel, asked with a frown.

"Has the safety warning document been sent out?"

The technician sitting next to him glanced at his boss and saw that the boss nodded, then looked at Director Li and said with a bitter expression.

"It has been sent, but to be honest, it is not very useful. Even if companies such as Tencent and Ari have not been notified by us, their security teams can still do a good job of protection. Even if some small and medium-sized enterprises have received our notification , it doesn't do much other than resign yourself to fate there... I think instead our safety alert document may be spreading panic."

Director Hong reprimanded in a low voice: "Being prepared is better than not being prepared, or do you have a better way?"

"...There is no way, the best way in cyber warfare is to turn defense into offense, switch the offensive and defensive positions, and make the opponent exhausted."

After these words were uttered, the office fell silent, only the sound of typing on the keyboard remained.

Director Hong coughed lightly and said.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. The higher authorities will definitely not approve the initiative to attack. Once we take the initiative to attack, it means that Huaguo's official forces have participated in the attack on overseas servers. No matter who makes the first move, it will be in the wrong." What we... what we have to do now is to find enough evidence to make the country where the IP is located cooperate with us in arresting people, instead of expanding the incident."

Not to mention that the opponent's server does not know where it is, once the Huaguo cyber warfare troops take the initiative to attack, the diplomatic losses caused by the paralysis of several websites are far incomparable.

What's more, the International Lunar Hadron Collider Symposium is currently underway. If the diplomatic turmoil caused affects the progress of the meeting, it will hit the opponent's arms.

After clearing his throat, Director Hong continued to ask, "How is the restoration of the website going?"

The information security engineer sitting in front of the computer pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in a tired voice.

"The domain name hijacking of Toutiao.com has been restored... I have restored at least ten websites so far, but this is simply not the way to go."

At this moment, the technician who was sitting at the computer desk next to him and wearing military uniform suddenly said loudly.

"Received an alarm, and a new website found abnormal traffic. After inspection, it was confirmed that the domain name was hijacked."

Before Director Hong of the Internet Surveillance Office could speak, Director Li anxiously asked, "Where is this time?"

"Convenience Network."

Hearing that another website had fallen, Director Hong thumped the table angrily.

"What the hell!"

The flames of war have spread beyond the realm of the news media and have begun to spread to the websites of government departments.

A drop of cold sweat slid across Chief Hong's forehead.

Although the websites of several major government departments have been defended and strengthened, Huaguo is so large that there are other places besides the central government. It is impossible for them to take care of so many websites. They can only rely on the strength of the local network department to defend themselves. And when the time comes, they will be caught in a new round of firefighting, and they will be exhausted in it.

And that's not what he's most worried about.

If the opponent further expands the battlefield and expands the target of the attack from the website server to the medical, electric power, logistics, and transportation systems of various places, it will cause greater harm...

In that case, the loss might be a bit overwhelming.

But at this moment, the information security engineer sitting in front of the computer desk suddenly frowned and approached the screen.

"Wait, something seems wrong."

Director Hong was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Several pieces of traffic data we were tracking were suddenly interrupted..."

Hearing these words, Chief Hong's expression darkened immediately.

"Did you get discovered by the other party?"

The information security expert shook his head, "I'm sure the other party didn't find us...but they just retreated one by one for no reason."

Director Hong frowned, and was about to ask what was going on, when a loud voice suddenly came from the side.

"The domain name hijacking of Bianmin.com has been lifted!" A man in military uniform sitting in front of the computer suddenly stood up and said excitedly, "They seem to have really retreated!"

Director Hong frowned, gritted his teeth and stared at the screen in front of him, thinking carefully.

"...But why did they retreat suddenly?"

The information security expert sitting next to him shook his head.

"do not know……"

With his professional ability, he can be 100% sure that the few pieces of traffic data he tracked are absolutely impossible to be aware of his surveillance.

However, the opponent just stopped inexplicably, without any warning.

Although for those websites that were attacked, this is a fortunate thing. But for the task force of the Internet Supervision Bureau, this is definitely not something to be happy about.

If they can't catch people, it means that they can make a comeback at any time.

If they don't know why those criminals retreated, I'm afraid they still won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

Looking around at everyone in the office, Chief Hong said in a firm tone.

"Continue to investigate, no matter what reason they stop, no matter where they hide in the ends of the earth, you must find them for me!"

"Yes!"

Although it is not considered a victory, it can be regarded as a phased result if the enemy retreats.

The soldiers in the office are full of fighting spirit and continue to struggle on their posts.

Director Hong nodded, and was about to sit back on the office chair, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and a staff member who looked thin walked in quickly.

"Director!"

Director Hong: "What's the matter?"

"Just now, our department's mailbox received a...somewhat special alarm email."

"What mail?"

"The body of the email only has a string of strange codes, and there is also written on the signature..." The staff member had a hesitant expression on his face, he hesitated and continued, "The IPs of the murderers have been found... something like that."

The murderer's IP was found?

When hearing these words, Chief Hong was taken aback for a moment, and then his face burst into ecstasy.

Realizing a possibility, he immediately asked, "Who sent the email? Did the person who called the police leave their contact information?"

"No..." Director Hong grabbed his shoulder and asked, the staff member tremblingly shook his head, "...the email only left a name on the signature."

"Who?"

"Doctor Z..."

Director Hong: "...?"

Director Li: "???"
