Chapter 339 Chain Reactions
It is not that Lin Wenfang has not done research on information weapons before.There is not much difference between information weapons and hacking tools in essence, but the application platform, application requirements, and overall system planning will be relatively different.Hacking tools are always based on computer systems that are readily available, as well as basic networks.Some hackers who are more familiar with hardware or programmers who understand this information will design some tools for projecting signals, which are only based on wireless or similar signal systems, and are aimed at civilian and commercial systems.Few hackers will target military systems. On the one hand, if they make trouble for the military, once they are caught, the consequences will be more serious.In addition, it is also because military information systems are too unfamiliar to most hackers.Even if it is based on the same underlying system, the military will make the entire operating system and information system look completely different, putting performance, efficiency, and security first, with few fancy functions and visual performance.The system developed by Lin Wenfang for mechs is already a rare and very dazzling system for the military that pays great attention to visual characteristics, but it is not because Lin Wenfang needs these visual effects, it is just because he needs to rely on these visual tools to provide The mechanic just filters the data.

Among the military-related work Lin Wenfang is currently doing, perhaps the most related to information weapons is the development of the data link system.Mech units use a completely different set of data links, which can communicate combat information more effectively, assign targets, and improve team strike efficiency.Most of the military's information weapons use the opposite direction of thinking, focusing on how to cut off the enemy's communication system and data link.However, the information environment on the battlefield is very complex. Information weapons can be suppressed by high-power electronic signals, but they are equally effective for both the enemy and the enemy. While interfering with the enemy, it will also interfere with our own actions.How to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages is indeed a very troublesome problem.Moreover, Xu Fu clearly told Lin Wenfang that what he needs to build is not just an information weapon, but a whole set of tactics around information weapons.Lin Wenfang divided the overall information warfare into two parts, one is pure network warfare, and the other is battlefield information warfare.

As far as cyber warfare is concerned, Lin Wenfang has taken a slightly more roundabout approach to developing offensive weapons.He first developed a new operating system that was improved and upgraded on the basis of the existing military computer operating system. Although it seems that the interface and so on are definitely the same as the previous system, most of the underlying code has been rewritten.This kind of tedious and meticulous work, especially the inspection of a large number of codes, is best left to Huo Yu.In terms of understanding of the bottom layer of the system, no one can surpass Huo Yu. Lin Wenfang can browse all technical materials and master a whole new set of development tools and ideas. But since Huo Yu is willing to do such a thing, then Lin Wenfang Why did Wen Fang ask for trouble?It took Lin Wenfang less than three days to compile this brand new military operating system and the corresponding patches on the civilian version of the computer.After that, Lin Wenfang began to seriously develop tools to attack enemy systems.

With the addition of those experts who are best at exploiting loopholes in the Huafeng Supervision Center, especially Zhao Qian, the development progress of this part is very fast.After staying in prison for a period of time, Zhao Qian was a little out of touch with the current general environment in terms of information technology.Although the prison has always provided a very rich amount of magazines, Lin Wenfang intervened later to make them have better experimental conditions, but these materials are not sufficient.

However, the veteran No. [-] hacker has his own unique skills after all, and Zhao Qian is best at rich, delicate and creative algorithms.According to Lin Wenfang's request, Zhao Qian quickly took out the core algorithm of the first part of the attack tool, a very interesting information flow tool.When the system processes the information flow, it has its own set of processes, as if treating the information as a workpiece on the assembly line, separating each condition and solving it one by one.However, there are always some special algorithms, information, etc., because they are not compatible with the lowest-level code, especially with the instruction set inside the CPU, or the CPU itself is not compatible with certain specific algorithms, and it is easy to get stuck. Case.In fact, this kind of situation happens all the time in the daily use of the computer, but due to the performance of the computer and the fault tolerance mechanism, most people will not notice these problems.But when something goes wrong and the jams are intensive to a certain extent, then nothing can cover up such a problem, and the computer will quickly enter an overload state, constantly generating more errors in the information interaction with other computers.

Once enabled, this tool called "chain reaction" will gradually speed up the entire network system, and then slowly enter a state of full overload.

To deal with this tool is actually very simple.Just add a filtering device to the gateway between the computer and the network, which corresponds to the "chain reaction" software. In fact, this is a system of encryption and decryption, and the error code can be invalidated through some simple and secret protocols. change.A more effective approach is to use a new type of processor to establish a transit hub on key information nodes, and then forward information as needed.Although such processing will cause some information to be slightly delayed, and some instant messaging software may even cause information to be out of sync, it is better than the entire system going down.

As soon as the basic procedures of the "chain reaction" system on both offensive and defensive ends were developed, Lin Wenfang immediately cut over the networks of Tianyao Group, Fosun Group, Mecha Master, and all the information systems he could control. Just use the central network of sub-regions to filter information, and installing a large-scale information filtering system is really not a trouble.In this way, at least he can ensure that the network he usually needs to use is safe.At the same time, he also carried out a comprehensive patching work using the update interfaces he had left in all the mecha operating systems.

"Lin Wenfang, what are you doing?" Zhu Zhi, who was practicing in the mecha early in the morning, had to wait in the mecha for 20 minutes because of the system update.Although she knew very well that it took such a long time for the update to be reasonable, and Lin Wenfang would never do anything inexplicable, but she couldn't control that much when she got angry, and she made a call to Tianyao Group.

Lin Wenfang didn't carry a mobile phone when he was in the laboratory.Ding Tian will transfer the call for Lin Wenfang, but Ding Tian has been with Lin Wenfang for too long, and his various cover methods are really superb.Especially as the technical officer of the Mecha Division, he always used a bunch of requests for instructions and reports to suppress Zhu Zhi's anger when she was very angry.Now, when Lin Wenfang was in Tianyao Group, Zhu Zhi had already learned to call Yue Yuyin directly, and then transfer Lin Wenfang through Yue Yuyin.Perhaps, this is also some kind of tacit agreement.Yue Yuyin is usually very busy, basically seeing Zhu Zhi's phone call, at most talking to Zhu Zhi for two or three sentences, and then transferring her to the nearest communication tool at Lin Wenfang's hand.

This early in the morning, Lin Wenfang was reading information in front of the computer while having breakfast, seeing Zhu Zhi's face suddenly appearing from the computer screen, he couldn't help being taken aback.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wenfang asked. "Is there a problem with the update?"

"What a broken update, it actually took more than 20 minutes. Damn, I was so depressed sitting in the cockpit, and now I have to warm up again. I am going to challenge your record again today."

"Hehe, don't even think about recording. If you don't practice the iron man training plan to the extreme, you will never be able to beat me." Lin Wenfang shrugged and said confidently: "I didn't explain it to you. Sorry, this update is more troublesome, and many key links in the system have to be rewritten, and there are too many things involved, so it takes a long time."

Zhu Zhi frowned and said, "What kind of information weapons plan are you dealing with?"

Since this kind of thing has entered the bidding process, it can't be hidden from a senior general like Zhu Zhi.

"It's not dealing with it," Lin Wenfang said with a wry smile, "I'm developing another set of things. The secret weapon, the pity is that your grandpa didn't even explain how much development costs my group paid."

Zhu Zhi snorted contemptuously.It is obviously impossible for Lin Wenfang to really care about these development costs, even if it is not a small amount of money.But Zhu Zhi knew that the financial health of Tianyao Group was unbelievable.Almost all of Tianyao Group's products are ultra-high-tech gadgets, such as smart pets. Currently, the cumulative shipments do not exceed 100 million units, but the order has already reached 400W.Most of them are sales serial numbers that are updated at any time according to Tianyao's development table, which makes both the supplier and the seller very satisfied.Tianyao Group has no interest in producing outdated products all the time, and those sales companies are naturally willing to accept new products.The nationwide deployment of the Magic Eye system, as well as the information security cooperation with the public security, intelligence, secret service, central security bureau and other agencies, also allows the group to always have a steady flow of funds and a wider source of information.Even if Tianyao Group does not take the initiative to seek other resources in these cooperations, the friends they make are always there.

In addition, although the sale of mechs and related equipment has always given the lowest discount to the military, there is still some profit.The most critical part of this part is not only the product, but also the authorization and cooperation of related patents.The military has been keeping a close eye on those material formulas, design drawings and other things.

In this case, the so-called information weapons program is just icing on the cake.Lin Wenfang certainly understands this very well. The military will not lose him, but it will not really pay him too much cash for the project. It is estimated that it will rely on other cooperation to make up for it.

"You'd better come back and explain the situation of the information weapons program to everyone. Now everyone has no idea. You don't explain the situation for this kind of large-scale update. Fortunately, everyone trusts you unconditionally within the mech division. Otherwise, it is estimated There are going to be weird arguments." Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "Also, there should be other relevant content in this plan, right? I heard from General Xu that the plan for battlefield information weapons will be handed over to the strategic duty troops in the future. What about the test. Don't you think it's time to talk to everyone?"

Lin Wenfang nodded secretly, touched his nose and said in embarrassment: "You know, I couldn't help it when I ran to the laboratory, and I didn't think too much about other things."

Zhu Zhi chuckled, seeing that the updated reading in front of her had reached the last millimeter, and said, "Alright, alright, master, you have to remember that the place where you get your salary now is a mech master. Your attendance rate is so low that I won’t say anything, don’t even forget the daily communication. I know you are preparing for battle, but communicating with your comrades and building good trust are also part of the preparation. Hang up Alright, I'll keep practicing."

After cutting off the call with Lin Wenfang, Zhu Zhi heaved a sigh of relief.The atmosphere in the army is not the same as before. On the one hand, the army is intensively undergoing an advanced refit, and on the other hand, interest groups from all sides have extended their tentacles into the army.Dressing up is the best opportunity and reason. A large number of people who do not belong to the military but come from various military industrial groups, advisory groups, visiting groups, parliaments, local governments, etc. have taken this opportunity to exchange and communicate.Most of the generals are clear-headed and will not be easily swayed. Everyone is aiming at making contributions on the battlefield, but it is difficult to say below the middle level. The friendship established with all aspects is not so easy to erase.When the time comes, there will really be rumors, and those with a clear mind will not be able to explain it to everyone who is shaken.Although Lin Wenfang is the deputy commander, he is still an engineer in the final analysis, and at most he has reached the standard in terms of personal combat power and command ability.Senior military officers are far from simply mastering war skills.

And Lin Wenfang, after speaking with Zhu Zhi, contacted Yue Yuyin and explained that he would go back to the army for some technical explanations.Yue Yuyin's political mind is clearer than Lin Wenfang's, and he understands the current situation, so of course he is very supportive of it.

"By the way, you'd better pay attention. In terms of the development of information weapons, there is a piece of news that worries me. The research and development department under Tianhua Group has submitted an application for the demonstration of preliminary experimental results, requiring the use of a medium-sized network for the development of network weapons. Test. The General Staff and the Ministry of Information Industry rejected the application, and Tianhua Group stated that it will secretly select a region outside the Federation on the public network for testing." Yue Yuyin said with some anxiety: "I don't know what it will look like, you Do you care about it?"

"When's the news?"

"Ten minutes ago, a...friend in the circle called me. Can you ask Huoyu to trace the source of the news?"

Before Lin Wenfang could say anything, a line of words "Tracing information..." popped out from the bottom of the screen in front of her. Huo Yu's reaction was very fast. She understood how much impact it would have on such a large-scale network test.
