Chapter 288 Wolf Pack Strategy (Second of Five Updates!)
In the Handong University Activity Center, Cheng Yi demonstrated to Lin Qingyin while laughing, "This is called a DDOS attack. You need to spread Trojans on the website first, and then control other people's computers. The more the better. These controlled computers are called zombies. You control these zombies and brute-force access to a certain IP at the same time, which can block their network. If the number is large enough, it can even paralyze the network of the computer room where the target IP is located."

"Isn't this behavior not very good?" Lin Qingyin found it difficult to accept this hacking behavior of controlling other people's computers.

"Silly girl, we are doing a good deed. Think about it, without a sharp spear, how can there be a strong shield? Every attack of yours is actually promoting the advancement of science and technology, urging them to make stronger servers and stronger firewall strategies in the future." Cheng Yi said earnestly while controlling this batch of brute forces from Shenxia City to frantically attack the Handong Province computer room of Starcom Xiaolingtong.

Lin Qingyin nodded, not quite understanding, and said, "Will there be any problems with the computers we control?"

"No, they are not even conscious." Cheng Yi laughed and said, "And most of them are controlled by the computers in the Internet cafe."

"Okay." Lin Qingyin's eyes gradually brightened. If you put aside the guilt, this method of attack is actually quite interesting.

This is like casting a net to catch fish. First, make a Trojan horse, then install the horse on the website, and then wait for a day or two before you can close the net.

Cheng Yi only spent half an hour the day before yesterday to make a Trojan horse called Legend Wax-free Hook, and then hung the Trojan horse in the information ports of several districts and counties in Shenxia City, and harvested tens of thousands of broiler chickens.

In the field of Trojans, Cheng Yi can be regarded as a conscientious person, because the functions of his cheats are real and can indeed achieve the wax-free effect in Legend, but at the same time, the Trojans are also real.

As long as this wax-free plug-in is turned on, the computer with the plug-in turned on will automatically become a chicken for his use.

"Mr. Wu, what should we do now?" The girl turned and looked at Wu Tao.

Wu Tao's face turned pale. "You ask me how to deal with it? You are the expert."

The girl said, "I suggest giving them a harsh warning, maybe that will stop their aggressive behavior."

"Yes, if we simply defend ourselves, this DDOS attack is very difficult to defend against. It's a form of network congestion. We can only block the attacking IP addresses, but there are tens of thousands of them. Because our computer room has so many users, we can't use strategic defenses," said a young hacker. "If we use a batch strategy, a large number of real users will be mistakenly killed."

Wu Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Ignore the computer room for now! I'll replace your network cables now. First, focus on hacking into Momo Group's official website! Once we've hacked into Momo Group's official website, we'll come back and deal with that damn penguin."

"Okay." The girl nodded.

There are three network cables in the computer room, all of which are 100M telecommunications dedicated lines brought from the Starcom Handong computer room in the basement.

They immediately switched to another dedicated line and continued to attack Momo Group's official website.

ten minutes……

twenty minutes……

Just as they were about to successfully shoot, a pop-up window popped up: [Dear user, hello, the server is temporarily under maintenance! Maintenance will last one hour!]

"What's going on?" Wu Tao leaned over the computer and asked anxiously, "Did they succeed?"

A smile appeared on the girl's face. She said, "They must have been unable to hold on any longer and resorted to physical defense."

"Physical defense?" Wu Tao was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's just shut down," the girl said with a laugh. "At this point, they have no chance of recovery. All their internet cafe systems are down, all their games are offline, and even the forums are all shut down."

Wu Tao was surprised and asked, "Does that mean that all of Momo Group's business has been shut down?"

"You could say that." The girl nodded and smiled. "This is the last resort in a cyberattack. Once they turn their computers back on, we'll shut them down once more. Their reputation will plummet. If they can't come up with an effective defense, they'll have no choice but to remain offline."

"Okay, okay." Wu Tao laughed heartily. The resentment that had accumulated over the past few days was finally effectively relieved at this moment.

"Hahaha! Yu Sen is a great contributor. We have to give a toast to this kid Yu Sen tonight." In Huang Ganping's office, Huang Ganping was lying on the chair like Ge You, completely exhausted.

Time is a butcher's knife, and this butcher's knife has hurt them badly in the past few days.

It's really no match for those energetic young people.

Just when their server was attacked by the other party, Yu Sen finally fixed the loophole in the computer room system.

As soon as he received the news that the computer room was ready, Huang Ganping made a prompt decision and announced the shutdown of all servers under Momo Group.

Now, they finally have their own computer room!

"It was so strange just now. Why did their attack suddenly stop for seven or eight minutes? If they didn't stop, I'm afraid we would have been unable to hold on." Wu Zhenhai asked curiously.

Ruan Yingjie next to him said with certainty: "They must have been attacked just now."

"Are you so sure?" Wu Zhenhai looked at Ruan Yingjie.

Ruan Yingjie nodded and said, "I just noticed that the delay in their data transmission nodes has increased significantly. Also, let's look at the IP address attacking us. Although the IP address range is similar, it has changed from 89 to 102. This indicates that they have just been hit by a severe network attack, so they temporarily replaced the network cable."

"Who did this good deed? Could it be Yu Sen?" Wu Zhenhai said with a smile.

Ruan Yingjie shook his head and said, "Yu Sen probably doesn't want to get involved in this kind of hacking technology."

"Don't worry about who it is. Just lie down and rest for a while. After Sen transfers the data, we still have to go to the computer room for defense." Huang Ganping shouted.

Wu Zhenhai laughed and said, "Our computer room has ten 100M dedicated lines, and we also have our own system. What's the point of defending? How can they attack us? Hahaha."

"Don't be careless," Huang Ganping said. "There are always people who are better than you. Even Apple's Mac-OS servers have been successfully hacked before."

"Okay, I'm going to take a nap. I've been exhausted these past few days. It's so hard to make Mr. Cheng's money." Huang Ganping stood up, holding his waist, and staggered out of the office.

"Is the computer room finally done?" Cheng Yi sat next to Lin Qingyin with a smile on his face.

Cheng Yi only found out about the attack on Momo Group's official website after the press conference. Initially, Yu Sen and the others didn't want to tell him because they were afraid of getting another week's salary deducted in response.

However, as the opponent's attack intensity continued to escalate, the firewall was blown up all the way, and the truth could no longer be hidden.

The Momo membership system occasionally fails to log in, the Toutiao forum occasionally crashes, and the Momo Legend often disconnects and freezes. All problems point to the server.

Under Cheng Yi's questioning, Yu Sen and the others finally admitted that the server had been attacked for many days. The attacker did not choose to hide, but instead chose to expose the IP address in an extremely arrogant manner.

They exposed their IP so arrogantly, which obviously shows that they are extremely confident in their own technology.

These days, there are no internet laws targeting hacking.

Unless hackers are stupid enough to attack government websites to steal confidential information, they will not be dealt with. There is no corresponding system to sanction their attacks on civilian websites. This is why hacking was extremely rampant from the 90s to 2004.

It wasn't until early 2005 that employees at the Equipment and Mobile Department of a steel company in Tangshan City, Jizhou Province, put the increasingly rampant hacking activities on hold.

This employee developed a Trojan program called BKDR-VB and used it to carry out network attacks, becoming the first person in the history of China's Internet development to be sentenced for hacking and network intrusion.

After this case, the rampant hackers turned from the open to the dark. Most of them only dared to show off their power in private servers and other online black industries, and no longer dared to attack regular registered websites.

"It's really hard for Huang Ganping and the others during this period." Thinking of the miserable situation of Huang Ganping and the others, Cheng Yi couldn't help laughing.

He had originally gone over to question them that day, but when he saw the dazed state of Huang Ganping and others, his first thought was to suspect that Huang Ganping had led the team to visit prostitutes all night.

The state was really horrible, as if it had been madly tortured by countless big horses for a week.

This older programmer really can't afford to be hurt.

Since the era of programmer proliferation began in 2015, many top domestic technology companies have adopted the wolf pack strategy. The so-called wolf pack strategy is to optimize programmers over the age of 35.

Being a programmer is a young person's job. Once you are over 35, you can no longer compare with young people in terms of logical ability, energy and physical strength. They are like old wolves and will eventually be abandoned by the team.

Programmers who are luckier, like Cheng Yi, can enter the management level and manage a group of young programmers, while more middle-aged programmers can only put down their beloved keyboards and ride delivery carts on the streets.

Cheng Yi once had a programmer friend who personally led a team to research an upper limit mechanism algorithm for deliverymen. This algorithm resulted in a cap on the deliveryman's daily income no matter how hard he tried. Once his income approached the upper limit of the daily income, he could only accept orders from far away.

In the end, this programmer was cruelly abandoned by the wolves. He rode a food delivery bike every day, his income was limited by the upper limit algorithm he developed, and he ran around the streets and alleys delivering food every day.

"Who is attacking Teacher Yu and the others?" Lin Qingyin asked curiously.

Cheng Yi said, "They are hacker experts hired by Starcom Group. Do you want to fight them?"

Lin Qingyin nodded quickly and said excitedly, "I want to."

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "We'll go ask Teacher Yu and the others for the IP address later."

"Okay." Lin Qingyin rubbed her hands excitedly at the thought of being able to fight with a master.

As a top student in the junior class, Lin Qingyin's talent is unquestionable.

Especially in the computer industry, the development trend is definitely that the younger generation pushes the older generation forward.

People like Huang Ganping initially came into contact with only the most primitive microcomputers. During their youth, they had never even touched a real computer.

People like Lin Qingyin are not only gifted, but have also been exposed to computers since elementary school. She lives with her nanny in the urban area of ​​Lanling City, and her only playmates are computers. This kind of influence from childhood has crushed Huang Ganping's generation from the starting line.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Geniuses like Lin Qingyin are only interested in things in their own field, so they appear to be very different in the eyes of many people.

Seeing Lin Qingyin's personality and talent, Cheng Yi couldn't help but think of a mathematical genius named Wei Shen.

You could say he's stupid, but his intelligence is at the peak.

Say he is smart...but many people want to add the word "big" before this smart.

Fortunately, Lin Qingyin still has her good looks to support her.

After all, humans are creatures who wear tinted glasses, and they will also change their visual judgment based on appearance.

Some of Lin Qingyin's behaviors would be considered cute and silly on a pretty girl, but stupid on a dinosaur girl.

Cheng Yi touched Lin Qingyin's head and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to our computer room."

"Okay." Lin Qingyin stood up obediently. She took a very cute neck collar and put it on her neck, and then put on a hat made of towel.

She gently held Cheng Yi's arm and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

After leaving the office, Cheng Yi and Lin Qingyin strolled on the campus. Despite the cold wind, everyone they passed by had a happy smile on their face.

The university holidays are coming soon! It’s time for college students to have a happy time.

Looking at the students passing by, Cheng Yi couldn't feel happy.

The timing is so damn coincidental.

The university computer room plan is his most important link in the fight against the Starcom Group. However, with the college students on vacation, this link has temporarily become ineffective. In the upcoming Spring Festival period, he will have to fight the Starcom Group bare-handed.

It has been snowing in Jingzhou City during this period. Thick snowflakes are piled on both sides of the university streets. The cold wind mixed with the remaining snow is like a knife, cutting people's cheeks and causing pain.

Not long after, a couple came towards them from the opposite direction. The girl hugged the boy's waist tightly, buried her face in the boy's coat, and a happy smile hung on the corners of her mouth.

From the moment the couple appeared, Lin Qingyin's eyes were always on the girl, with a hint of envy and excitement in her eyes. Even when the couple passed by them, Lin Qingyin couldn't help but look back.

"Do you know them?" Cheng Yi asked.

Lin Qingyin shook her head. She looked up at Cheng Yi and mustered up the courage to say, "Cheng Yi, I want that kind of hug too."
