Zhao Xiaodong is a hacker enthusiast. Since he learned the legendary story of Kevin Mitnik, the world's number one hacker from his cousin who was in college during the summer vacation, he has developed infinite yearning for the mysterious profession of hackers. During the summer vacation, he rubbed his father to buy him a computer, and then couldn't wait to connect to the Internet. Under his cousin's guidance, he understood some basic operations of computers and how to surf the Internet. At the same time, he also learned several good places to learn hacker knowledge. They are Hacker Home, Hacker Base Camp, Black and White, Yanhuang Network, and the personal website of the Hacker Home Webmaster. These websites are all the Chinese hacker websites that Zhao Xiaodong can find.

He was determined to become a hacker and registered an account on the BBS of the first four websites. He spent almost every day in these forums this summer vacation, learning hacking knowledge from other netizens with better skills than himself. These days, his computer technology has indeed improved significantly, but it is only in computer applications, but his hacking technology has not increased much. After all, there is too little hacking knowledge that can be learned now. Those who understand technology are unwilling to explain slowly from the basics. They are often the core members of the website discussing issues, but he can't understand what they are discussing at all.

Two days ago, Zhao Xiaodong learned about another hacking website from other people on the forum, which was a newly opened website called "Hacking Academy". Zhao Xiaodong felt friendly when he heard this name. Isn't this name meant that it is a place to teach others hacking technology? But can he really learn technology?

With a skeptical mood, he found the Hacker Academy, and then couldn't wait to register an account and enter the forum. He found that there were few registered users here and few posts. However, Zhao Xiaodong found out from these posts that he had been looking for for a long time - basic knowledge of hacking. The administrator - the online name is kingson - took the actual intrusion combat as an example, with detailed explanations and noun explanations interspersed in the middle, and wrote the intrusion process in detail. At the end of the article, he also pointed out the network knowledge that needs to be learned and mastered. Although he only posted a few posts, the quality of these posts was surprisingly high. Zhao Xiaodong was surprised to find that he could understand some of these posts and understood what aspects he should work in. He immediately fell in love with this place and decided to become a loyal member here in the future.

Since this forum was newly opened and its popularity was really low, Zhao Xiaodong began to actively promote the Hacker Academy on other hacker websites, and also posted several posts there, but these ad posts were quickly deleted by the other party's management staff. He was also warned that if such posts were posted, the ID would be deleted and the IP would be blocked. In desperation, Zhao Xiaodong had to secretly send a message to others in private and introduce them to the Hacker Academy. In this way, many people were pulled to the Hacker Academy. After their efforts, more and more people came here, and they all became loyal users. However, compared with other forums, the number of people here is still too small. Some people began to offer suggestions to the webmaster Kingson and suggested how to promote the website, but there was no feasible solution.

Today, Zhao Xiaodong just started the filming and waited for Hacker Home to continue to promote text messages, but when he opened the page, he found that the homepage of Hacker Home was actually hacked! Instead, he was replaced by all-black background and yellow text. What surprised him was the big yellow words:

"Hacking Academy" friendly inspection

Hacker Academy did? Zhao Xiaodong reacted that this may be the fastest way to promote the website that Kingson and others thought of. Those who come to Hacker Home must be hacking technology enthusiasts. When they see this page, they will definitely think that Hacker Home's technology is not as good as Hacker Academy, otherwise how could it be hacked? This is simply a naked provocation! Invading other websites to increase their popularity, someone proposed this method and was incorporated into the plan, but Zhao Xiaodong did not expect that they were hacking all the hacking websites. In general, Hacker Home is currently the largest hacker website in China, with more than 10,000 registrations. It is said that its webmaster Blackfire is a very powerful guy.

Although Zhao Xiaodong did not agree with this publicity method, the incident had already happened. He felt that he should make full use of this opportunity to increase the popularity of the Hacking Academy, so he decided to post on other hacker websites to promote the incident. He also took screenshots immediately, intending to use it as evidence. However, when he clicked on the website of "Hacking Camp", he actually saw the same scene just now - the black background and yellow characters!

Did you take action at the same time?! Zhao Xiaodong immediately opened the Black and White and Yanhuang Network. As expected, all four websites were hacked!

A big deal! Zhao Xiaodong was both surprised and happy. What he was happy about was that the Hacker Academy had indeed had the skills and even hacked the four major hacker websites in China. However, he was also a little worried at the same time. After all, in this way, the Hacker Academy was a enemy on all sides. As a new opening, it seemed a bit inappropriate.

Zhao Xiaodong opened the Hacker Academy website and saw that everyone was discussing this issue. The number of registrations in the forum has been rising, and the number of online users has repeatedly broken through historical records. In just over an hour, the number of registrations increased by nearly one third! The effect is indeed significant.

Zhao Xiaodong also joined the discussion and posted a post to raise his concerns. As soon as the post was posted, the webpage could no longer be opened. Zhao Xiaodong thought to himself that the server might be subjected to retaliation attacks.

He quickly refreshed and finally the interface of the forum appeared again. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he found that the forum's internet speed was extremely slow. Then, his system was also slow, and the mouse moved like a snail.

Poisoned? Being infected with a Trojan horse? This thought flashed through Zhao Xiaodong's mind.

It's impossible. I'm using the safest Linux system, and there is no virus at all. The Linux system is well-known for its excellent design and is highly recommended by Kingson, the webmaster of the Hacker Academy. No Linux viruses or Trojans have been found. The virus only exists in Windows operating systems with many vulnerabilities. Zhao Xiaodong quickly denied this fact.

He carefully checked the system and found that the CPU usage rate accounted for 99% of the abnormal proportion. He also found that a process occupied most of the resources, but at his level, he could not determine what the process is for and whether it was a system process.

He endured the speed of the snail and waited for a long time to finally open the page of the forum. He saw that many people had posted about this strange symptom. Later, some people said that this abnormality was not discovered. Everyone started to argue, and the focus of the debate was whether it was caused by the virus. The positive side believed that this was a virus, and it was poisoned because of the opening of the Hacker Academy's web page, which means that the Hacker Academy was captured. The anti-side insisted that there were no viruses under Linux, Linux was safe, and the hacker Academy had never been successfully invaded. In addition, those who used the Windows system also said that there was no virus and stood on the other side of the anti-side.

Is it really a virus? Zhao Xiaodong really doesn't know which side he should stand on.

The four major hacker websites were hacked by the Hacker Academy at the same time. This news is undoubtedly a bombshell for many hacker beginners. Most people don’t care about what technology they used and how they hacked them. They only value the results. The hard-core supporters of the Hacker Academy praised this behavior and even "run around" around. Supporters of the four major websites came over to register an account to specifically engage in verbal battles. Civilized people protested against this behavior, while those who did not pay attention to their image cursed...

The first generation of Chinese hackers immediately focused on the Hacker Academy, a just-in-the-breaking hacker forum.
Chapter completed!
