Activating the Omniscient System, I'm doomed!

"The national database isn't connected to the internet, so how can we hack into it?"

After half an hour of searching, Luo Yi shook his head helplessly.

Indeed, the best defense is not technique, but disconnecting the network.

Cut off the route, and even the most skilled hacker will have nowhere to go.

"Hmm? It's not entirely impossible."

Luo Yi suddenly remembered something.

College entrance examination papers and score records.

This is actually classified as top secret.

Since it needs to allow candidates to check their scores, it must also be connected to the internet.

"You can take advantage of the score checking opportunity to access the database through the portal."

Luo Yi was overjoyed, not only because he had found a loophole, but also because his comprehension and intelligence had been significantly improved after the gene enhancement.

If he could take the college entrance exam again, he would be confident of getting the highest score if he only had to review once.

"So this is what it feels like to be a top student."

His fingers danced across the keyboard as he opened the official website for checking college entrance exam scores, entering his admission ticket, ID card, and password.

The scores all showed as 0.

This is a high-score filtering mechanism.

The results of the top 30 students in the province are not published, and even the students themselves cannot be found.

Luo Yi wasn't here to check his score, of course. He already knew his total score was 719 on the day the college entrance exam ended, ranking 11th in the province.

The person logging into the score inquiry system now intends to use the data returned by the server to carry out an intrusion plan.

As for logging into his own student account, it's harmless; it's just an entry point. Not only will it not leave any trace, but even if it does, he has dozens of ways to erase it.

Ding-dong

Successfully logged into this server.

The hacking tool returned a result indicating that the intrusion was successful.

Luo Yi followed the scores to the education system's database, where he saw his answer sheet scan record and the college entrance examination papers for this year.

He didn't linger long, and followed the path of the exam papers to find next year's college entrance exam papers.

As we all know, the college entrance examination papers that have not yet been used have a higher level of security than banknotes, and this part naturally needs to be connected to the national database.

By following the files of the question setters, one can jump from the education system's database to the national database.

Fingers danced across the keyboard.

"Snap! Success!"

Luo Yi pressed the Enter key and smiled with satisfaction.

I didn't expect it to be so easy.

Although the national database is not connected to the network.

However, the data in the education system is networked, and the education system is also connected to the national database.

You can still get in by turning the corner.

"If it were me, how would I fix this vulnerability?"

Luo Yi lowered his head in thought.

Try to use what you've learned to solve this problem.

Another half hour passed, and he looked up at the computer, switching to the computer interface of the national database technician.

"Hello".

"The following is a solution to this vulnerability..."

Luo Yi typed out lines of text on the keyboard. Before doing this, he had of course consulted the Omniscient System. At worst, it could only find the IP address of a botnet located overseas.

By directly informing the national database, he wanted to verify both his intrusion techniques and the vulnerability defense techniques.

As for the issue of him being unable to hack into the site again after fixing the vulnerability, that's completely irrelevant.

If he wants to look up any information, the Omniscient System is faster; there's no need to type on the keyboard.

……

At the same time.

National Qingshan Information Center.

A female technician was processing a report when she suddenly saw a document pop up on her computer screen, displaying the letters "Hello".

She looked down and patted the keyboard, thinking she had accidentally pressed a key.

No matter how she typed on the keyboard, the computer didn't respond.

Startled, I quickly reached out and pressed the alarm button next to me.

drop!

drop!drop!

The piercing alarm echoed indoors.

"Warning! Warning! Database has been compromised!"

"Director He, someone has taken control of my computer!"

With a whoosh, the technicians on site were all taken aback.

Someone shouted, "Switch to the big screen, everyone, activate Level 1 protection!"

drop!drop!drop!

Figures moved about in the corridor, and more than a dozen technical experts quickly arrived.

As soon as everyone entered, they saw a document displaying a line of text on the large screen in front of them:

"The following is a solution to this vulnerability..."

Hackers broke in and even wrote down a repair plan right in front of you?

Director He's expression changed several times, and he slammed his fist on the table, shouting:

"What are you standing there for? Lock up the data and kick them out!"

More than a dozen skilled technicians arrived at the workstations and replaced the original technicians, their fingers flying across the keyboard.

The only sounds in the quiet room were the clatter of keyboards and heavy breathing.

Since the establishment of the National Data Center, there has not been a single intrusion incident.

Director He turned to Fang and asked, "Xiao Fang, what level does our data center belong to, and what data does it contain?"

"For a Level A classification, the most important data includes talent distribution, college entrance examination records, and national technical researcher records..."

Since the military industry wasn't involved, Director He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, having prepared for the worst.

He glanced at the text still popping up on the screen, then turned to the busy tech expert: "What's going on? They haven't kicked him out yet?"

"The other party has a data destruction mechanism in place, so we dare not make any mistakes."

Director He's brow furrowed. "Then investigate! Follow the internet and find the culprit!"

"We've already traced it to an overseas IP address; it's definitely a botnet and needs to be stripped away layer by layer."

Director He's face was ashen as he pointed at the computer screen. "We just watched him type there, and he was even using pinyin!"

"..." Upon hearing the voice coming from the microphone, Luo Yi was speechless.

"Director, the other party seems... seems to have no malicious intent. He is actually providing a repair plan," a round-faced technician pointed at the screen, pointing with great surprise.

Director He turned his head and looked over, then carefully read the text above.

This is true.

The hacker wrote down the entire intrusion process and even provided a detailed repair plan.

"This..." Director He coughed a few times, pointing to the keywords on the screen, "Infiltrated from the education system's database? Why would this vulnerability exist?"

A technician wearing glasses explained, "The college entrance examination data from previous years are all stored here. Because of the large amount of data from various regions, we have established a data synchronization channel to reduce the need for repeated manual data entry."

Director He nodded slightly, but he didn't say anything about it.

We live in the information age, with a vast amount of complex data. Establishing data synchronization channels is a national requirement and a trend of the times.

The technician wearing glasses added, "This isn't really a vulnerability, and it's difficult to fix perfectly because it involves students checking their scores. If you push too hard, the college entrance exam score checking process will malfunction."

"That's right. We have implemented multiple layers of protection through login verification. If the other party wants to use this channel, they will have to log in to the college entrance examination score inquiry system, and each year's candidates and accounts are different."

A middle-aged technician nodded in agreement, "Theoretically speaking, no test taker would tell their account to an outsider. Even if it is stolen, it is easy to find out. So this vulnerability is very difficult to exploit."

Director He pointed to the big screen, "Difficult my foot! Look, they've already listed out the process. Quickly check, see which candidate's account they used..."

"We can't find it. The education system's data isn't cached, and if they dared to say it, they would definitely erase the traces."

Director He almost swore; it was the first time he had encountered such a formidable opponent.

"Then let's trace the person's IP address and find them!"

"We have tracked IPs from eleven countries, all of which are botnets used as stepping stones. This adversary is very skilled and reacts extremely quickly; they are likely part of a hacker alliance based overseas."

Director He frowned and quickly took out his custom-made phone. "Spying data overseas? I'll call Lao Wang over for help..."

"No need, Director He, you see..."

The junior manager next to him pointed to the computer screen.

Above, the hacker had already written the repair plan, and finally typed a line:

"Let's learn from each other technically, and best of luck!"
