Chapter 4 Black Hat Conference
Zhao Yuan did not have money in his bank account. Not only that, he also learned about capitalist "overdraft" consumption and owed more than 6,000 US dollars in his credit card.
Not to mention Du Mingkang's own account, his people are already dead, and all the accounts are cancelled by the bank.
Du Mingkang can obtain some funds by using hacking methods. However, such methods are not only disgraceful, but also leave traces. For the sake of security, Du Mingkang does not want to use this method to obtain money.
He is not able to do whatever he wants on the Internet. He will not touch many confidential information and a database of secure information at will.
Moreover, the money he needs is not a small amount, so he still has to think of other ways.
There are many ways to make money on the Internet. As a data life, with strong computing power and data manipulation capabilities, there are many ways to make money by Du Mingkang.
"To quickly obtain a large amount of funds... maybe, this method can be used." On the Internet, Du Mingkang found an excellent opportunity!
...
United States, Nevada, Las Vegas. This is the largest city in Nevada, an internationally renowned tourist city, and has the top entertainment industry!
Local time, on July 22, a group of visitors from all over the world were staying in a five-star hotel in Las Vegas. Without exception, they were representatives from major Internet companies and information security companies in the world.
Many of them are big names and great masters in the field of information security.
These information security masters are here to participate in the world's annual "Black Hat Security Technology Conference"!
Black Hat, also known as hackers, has a little bit of praise. The Black Hat Security Technology Conference was founded in 1997 and is recognized as the highest event in the world's information security industry! Well-known companies, government researchers and top private teams will send representatives to lead the design of information security ideas and technology trends.
In a premium suite in a five-star hotel, Dong Ang, an information security technician from China, was typing on the laptop keyboard in the room.
He is not very old, just 25 years old this year, has a fat figure and few hair, and is already a famous figure in the field of information security. Since he was a child, Dong Ang has been particularly interested in computer technology, especially hacking technology. When he was in high school, he had hacked the school's servers and some small websites.
When he arrived at university, he was even more in the field of computer science. Before he graduated, he was booked in advance by Internet companies and poached with high salaries.
After working for three years, Dong Ang decided to start his own business. Now Dong Ang is the head of a small information security team. He is working together with several subordinates and apprentices.
Dong Ang was the first time he attended this World Black Hat Safety Technology Conference. He specially brought several employees to see the world.
"Dongdong." Someone knocked on the door.
"It's not closed, come in." Dong Ang said without raising his head.
Two young men walked in, both of them were Dong Ang’s employees and apprentices, one named Lei Lin and the other named Wang Ziliang.
"Boss, what are you busy with?" Lei Lin walked over curiously and saw that there was a small game interface on Dong Ang's computer screen, with pixels moving on it.
"Pixel game?" Wang Ziliang said in surprise, "Boss, the Black Hat Conference is about to begin the day after tomorrow. Are you still in the mood to play this kind of game? Can you decompress it?"
"I don't want to play either, it popped up by itself." Dong Ang's eyes were still staring at the screen, his tone was quite helpless.
"What?" Lei Lin and Wang Ziliang were both shocked. Dong Ang meant that this game "invaded" his computer?
"No way?" Lei Lin said in surprise, "Boss, your computer security protection is world-class. It took us a week to crack it. Who can hack into your computer?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but I have to say that there are people outside of people, and there is God!" Dong Ang sighed deeply, "The people who attended the Black Hat Conference this time are all world-class technical geniuses, and there may be many world-class hackers. Someone will definitely hack into my computer, but I didn't think it was so fast!"
"And, I can't crack it for a while!"
"What? Who did it? What virus is this?" The two of them were even more surprised when they heard Dong Ang's words, looking at his computer and asked.
"Just this pixel game? It looks like a product of the last century!" Leilin complained.
"Don't underestimate him. This looks like a pixel game, but it is actually a supercomputer virus! It has three levels in total, and each level is a brand new virus. It took me ten hours to crack the first level. Now the second level is not at all clues!" Dong Ang said, "I don't know who sent me the challenge book."
"Can we see?" Lei Lin and Wang Ziliang were very interested in this.
"Okay, let's see." Dong Ang handed them the notebook, and the two began to study.
Then an hour later, the two of them looked anxious and frowned, but there was no way.
"It's too difficult, it's too difficult!" Lei Lin scratched his head, "Which master did this? I can't find any idea at all, it's so awesome!"
"Yes, I feel that the existing security software can't deal with it at all!" Wang Ziliang agreed deeply.
"It's not that exaggerated yet. If you study it carefully, you will definitely get results. It just takes a certain amount of time." Cao Ang said, "But I can be sure that the one who made this must be a supercomputer genius! I don't know who sent it to me, so I don't believe it, I can't crack it!"
He lowered his head and continued to crack this "pixel game".
The sender of this pixel mini game is not someone else, but Du Mingkang, who is in the data world. He did not send it to Cao Ang, but selected a group of people from the top black hat technicians who came to attend the World Black Hat Conference.
Du Mingkang wants to find a suitable candidate as a spokesperson for his Internet field and help him complete things that are inconvenient to do.
And this virus disguised as a pixel mini-game is his first assessment!
And this first assessment has caused hundreds of world-class black hats to retreat in the hotel.
In the room of Microsoft's representative, a representative invited his companions to go out for fun by phone via the hotel.
"Stephen, why are you still in the room? It's a rare time to come to Las Vegas, I can't help but make a big profit in the casino!"
"No, I won't go today." A Microsoft technician named Stephen gritted his teeth and looked at his hacked computer screen. "I don't believe it, does anyone dare to challenge me?"
In the room of the German Siemens representative, the chief information security officer was sitting upright studying a pixel game. Next to him, several technicians were typing on the keyboard frantically, trying to crack it.
...
In the data world, Du Mingkang's hut. Du Mingkang was lying on the sofa, eating the "data watermelon" he made.
On the screen in front of him is the challenger's progress ranking.
"Hey, I originally thought that someone could crack it in one hour, but I didn't expect that this group of information technicians, who are known as the world's top, are still a little bit short of it. The technology of the earth really needs to be improved!" Du Mingkang saw the fastest one, and took twenty-eight hours to crack it.
"The first place, Polit, comes from Google. Although his technology is very powerful, his background is too strong and he can't be used by me, so he passes it." Du Mingkang chose the candidate.
"The second place, Theodos, the CIA, can't be used, eliminated!"
"The third place, this British man has some potential, and is put on the alternative list."
...
"The eighth place, Dong Ang, a Chinese, took thirty hours. It was a little worse than the ones above, but the background was clear, so it was put on the alternative list."
Du Mingkang selected a total of ten people as his candidates. To be his spokesperson, in addition to passing the technical level and having a high IQ, he also needs a certain degree of character.
So Du Mingkang will also conduct a second assessment on them.
...
In a room in the hotel, Clive, a top information security technician from the UK, was cheering loudly.
"yes! Cracked!" Clive was very excited. It took him twenty-eight hours and fifty minutes to finally crack the pixel game. He killed the hacker virus that troubled everyone!
"It's simply a breeze! I'll have a good sleep and I can catch up with the Black Hat Conference." Just as Clive was about to go to bed, he saw a sentence.
"You are the third person to complete this game, not bad - mr.mk." The signature is Mr. mk, a mysterious character.
"I am only third, who else can be faster than me?" Clive was a little dissatisfied, but with a thought, the words this person said to him must be real-time messages spread through online channels. Can he track his information and find out this mk?
Thinking of this, Clive became excited again and started to operate immediately. It was very difficult to track MK. This guy has good skills and has many layers of cover on the Internet.
But Clive is the world's top technical expert, and these problems cannot be hindered. A few hours later, Clive really tracked MK and he was remotely controlled on a server in the United States!
Not only that, Clive also used his hacking technology to quietly invade the MK computer. He was surprised to find that here, he could actually see the computers of those technicians who were hacking using pixel games!
You should know that these technicians attending the meeting are senior members of major companies and teams from all over the world. There are more or less company secrets in their notebooks and are of unlimited value!
If we could get these, Clive was already moved, and even excited to think about it. A valuable message may be worth millions or tens of millions of pounds!
Chapter completed!
