Digital Hackers' Memories

Alternatively, it may be unable to identify abnormal data, so treat it like normal data and grant it the corresponding permissions.

Judging from the previous situation, Renamon's disguise was obviously successful, otherwise the two of them wouldn't have been able to enter the data center so easily.

But here's the anomaly: why would the firewall suddenly target "data" that has already passed review and been identified as normal?

Has someone discovered us?

Logically speaking, Chen Ze couldn't think of any other reason besides this one.

But this is obviously wrong, because the two of them have not yet reviewed or deleted any data in the database, so theoretically it is impossible for a third party to discover it.

The current situation is like a firewall granting access to the two individuals, only to suddenly discover that they are not legitimate visitors and "temporarily decide" to restrict their access.

However, this is logically untenable, because firewalls do not possess intelligence.

No matter how advanced a firewall is, it is still just a program that follows a fixed pattern.

Unless the developers have pre-defined corresponding measures, the program cannot make "temporary decisions" that are beyond its capabilities.

To put it more simply, unless it's the legendary artificial intelligence with self-learning capabilities, the so-called "learning ability" of a program is usually achieved by developers constantly updating the download package.

“We were discovered, but it wasn’t ‘human’ who discovered us.”

Nodding in confirmation of Chen Ze's guess, the fox-like beast, possessing even more acute perception than its opponent, looked up at the firewall, which was now fully on alert, and a rare solemn expression appeared on its face.

"He intervened."

Although the request did not explicitly state which "he" it was, Chen Ze, understanding the implied meaning, immediately changed his expression.

"Is it the 'god' that Angemon mentioned?"

It was only at this moment that Chen Ze and Renamon realized that the internet and the real world were different—this was the boundary between the digital world and the material world.

Although the "god" hidden deep within the digital world cannot directly influence the material world, He seems to have a way of interfering in this neutral and ambiguous region.

"Primitive and ignorant artificial intelligence—was this the original Digimon?"

Accompanied by the fox spirit's incredulous murmur, the defense program called "Firewall" began to evolve and replace itself autonomously, absorbing information from its surroundings at an unimaginable speed and achieving its own transformation.

Firewall – Physical Form…

Essentially, it is a police firewall that defends against all malicious attacks and is the nemesis of all viruses and malicious data.

After absorbing the data left behind by police officers on the internet, it has developed a strong and distinct inclination towards justice.

No proof or promises are required...

In order to eradicate all evil data, physical firewalls have chosen the most forceful and violent evolutionary path.

Therefore, when the massive amount of data converged at a single point, the firewall that had been separating Chen Ze and his companion disappeared, replaced by a newly born Digimon.

—Revolver Beast!

There is no so-called evolutionary chain; Revolvermon is a powerful Digimon at the Champion level from birth.

The fact that the opponent possesses a "Sudden Mutation Type" attribute, which is unlike any other Digimon, also proves this point.

This is a powerful figure who, for the sake of his own justice, is willing to be an enemy of any living being.

"Everything for justice!"

Its main body was a huge revolver, while the rest of its body was covered in cowboy clothing with a Western flair—this was how the Revolver Beast appeared before the two.

"It's actually a vaccine with 'virus-killing' properties."

As a fellow vaccine-type Digimon, Renamon knows that not all vaccine-type Digimon possess the "virus killer" attribute.

Only those Digimon with a strong sense of justice and a willingness to extinguish all virus data are qualified to evolve the "Virus Buster" attribute.

In a sense, having the "virus killer" attribute means that this is a Digimon that excels in combat.

boom!boom!

Just as Renamon had predicted, Revolvermon didn't say a word, and as soon as it appeared, it fired a fatal bullet at the two of them.

boom!boom!

With its twin pistols wielded without pause, Revolvermon's first offensive demonstrated a completely different side from Angemon.

If Angemon is a compassionate and intelligent general, then Revolvermon is a ruthless and decisive warrior who dominates the battlefield.

However, Revolvermon was indeed powerful, but Renamon, who was able to defeat Angemon in its Rookie form, was no pushover either.

"Fox Leaf Pact!"

After a low murmur, countless willow leaves appeared out of thin air and then shot out under the control of the fox demon beast.

Clang!

A sound like the clanging of metal suddenly rang out.

Before the bullets had even traveled more than a few meters, they were split in two by the rapidly shooting willow leaves, rendering them useless as "weapons."

"You go and delete the data, I'll take care of things here!"

With a calm and confident tone, the alluring fox-like beast charged at the revolver beast before Chen Ze could reply.

bang bang bang...

Amidst the hail of bullets, Renomon's slender body, though far less tall and strong than Revolvermon, displayed an agility and flexibility unmatched by most mature-stage Renomon.

In fact, Renamon has never been a Digimon known for its "strength".

Compared to sheer strength, Renamon's greatest strengths lie in its extraordinary speed and cunning tactics—this was true of its battle against Angemon, and it is true of its battle against Revolvermon now.

"……I see."

Chen Ze watched helplessly as the demon fox beast charged out to fight like a phantom before he could even reply.

Because the foxmon was so fast, Chen Ze barely had time to react before she had already fought Revolvermon several times.

Whether it's the speed at which they can move through a hail of bullets or the constant awareness they possess, it has already exceeded Chen Ze's imagination of the concept of "biological beings."

"I hate this feeling of powerlessness..."

PS: I originally wanted to have Vulcan appear, but then I thought that guy was a bit too high-class and didn't fit the characteristics of the first generation.

Chapter Nineteen: Server War

The monitoring center of the National Police Agency and the Nerima Precinct.

Unlike the previous calm, the monitoring center was now full of people, some young and some old, but all of them were police officers still on duty in the warning hall.

In particular, the middle-aged man in the lead was the head of the Nerima Precinct, who had just been woken up from his bed.

"What exactly is going on?!"

Glancing at the security officer still busy at the computer, the director suppressed his anger and questioned Tanaka, who was sweating profusely beside him, with a furious expression.

"I...I don't know..."

Although Tanaka wasn't a proper safety officer, the fact that he was assigned to work here meant he naturally had some understanding of computers.

So the moment the server malfunctioned, he immediately called his colleague on duty and also woke up the sleeping security guard.

It was the arrival of the safety officer that made Tanaka realize that the problem might be more serious than he had imagined.

The surveillance data center in the warning room was hacked, and by more than one intruder.

More importantly, he hadn't even noticed this while sitting here on duty until the intruders started fighting each other on the data center servers, at which point he realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Is it possible to find out their true identities?"

Seemingly realizing that he wouldn't get any useful answers from Tian Dong, the director walked over to the safety officer with a grim face and asked in a stern tone.

"I'm trying now."

Knowing that the director's answer was not the process, the safety officer didn't waste any words and cautiously gave his reply.

“Those three intruders are clever; they didn’t use any existing IP address to intrude, so I need some time to analyze their structure.”

What the security officer didn't explain was that it's already quite impressive for a typical hacker to be able to use a "stepping stone" to infiltrate other computers.

After all, as a group that operates on the fringes of the law, hackers are absolutely confident that they can clean up the logs in their "stepping stones" before the police can catch them.

Therefore, as long as they don't use their real IP address to intrude, hackers are theoretically undetectable.

Of course, the above are all just theoretical, or rather, theories only applicable to ordinary people.

Because a state-led force can pinpoint the location of that "stepping stone," then physically restore those deleted days, and ultimately find the hackers' real IP addresses.

However, these three invaders were different.

Their IP addresses were not hidden, and security personnel detected their location immediately.

But this is meaningless, because the IP addresses of the three intruders kept changing over time, as if they were using countless different "stepping stones" to carry out the intrusion at the same time.

Although it sounds incredible, the security officer is convinced of his theory. His only question now is how the other party solved the network latency problem.

It's important to understand that this isn't the technologically advanced 21st century of the future. In this era, it's already quite remarkable that networks can withstand first- or second-level redirection intrusions.

This kind of real-time intrusion using countless jump pads is something the security officer has never seen before, as if they don't have any network latency at all.

"Wait, what is this guy planning to do?"

Just as the security officer was about to capture the real addresses of the three intruders once again, one of the obviously weak data points actually left the battlefield on its own and began to search for data inside the server.

Is this your goal?

He couldn't help but murmur. The security officer could clearly see that the other party was hacking into the server's database, seemingly trying to find something.

"I won't let you succeed!"

Instead of resolving the intruders' IP addresses, the security personnel immediately intercepted the weak data.

Compared to the two intruders who simply use servers as their battleground, this hacker, who seems to be looking for something from the servers, is the real threat.

The inability to determine the hackers' true location simply means that it's impossible to catch them, which doesn't have much impact on us.

But if one of the hackers manages to steal the surveillance data from the warning room, his job would be in jeopardy.

............................................................................................................

"So it was discovered after all?"

Chen Ze immediately felt the pressure from the safety officer.

Unlike the previous intrusion into the convenience store, the main server in the Warning Hall possesses computing power comparable to that of the Digital Core.

Furthermore, since I'm currently playing away from home, all sorts of powerful antivirus software and anti-virus programs seem to want to delete me, this "virus," as if I don't need any resources.

To cope with those complex antivirus programs, Chen Ze could only try his best to change his own data in order to avoid being scanned and interfered with by the antivirus programs.

The only saving grace is that, since I am now in Digimon form, I am not worried about being locked to an IP address, so I can fully utilize my hacking abilities.

Anyway, the other party can't pinpoint my real location, because my "true self" is currently inside the server, a "smart program" that can keep hiding inside the server.

From this perspective, this battle taking place in the virtual world is actually no different from a regular hacking intrusion.

In short, it's all about planting viruses on other computers and illegally obtaining the permissions and data you want.

Perhaps the only difference is that the virus named "Agumon.sms" is not a pre-installed virus, but an intelligent virus that can be constantly modified and adapted to various antivirus software.

"When it comes to hacking, that's my forte!"

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Ze, by constantly modifying his own data, had perfectly avoided being scanned by all antivirus programs.

Next, all he needs to do is gradually erode and seize the administrator privileges of the server without exposing himself, and then completely delete the monitoring data.

In addition, to prevent the people in the warning hall from using physical means to recover the data, Chen Ze decided to overload the server and burn out the hard drive after deleting the data.

"Luckily, I had written a similar 'forced shutdown program' before..."

"Then we would overload the server and inject junk data to repeatedly overwrite the hard drive stripes."

Writing a virus program from his memory on the spot is something almost impossible for a human, but Chen Ze did it easily with the help of his digital core, which is equivalent to a "computer".

As the most direct carrier of this "virus", the originally pale yellow surface of Agumon began to show mottled, blurry patterns like mosaic.

Chapter Twenty Overload Procedures

Hikari-gaoka, Nerima Ward, at the front desk of a 24-hour convenience store.

"To fight against a powerful official institution single-handedly?"

Driven by a woman's intuition, Ji Jia did not feel dejected after being defeated by the mysterious hacker. Instead, she was curious about what the hacker was looking for.
