The final call for participants has been posted on the forum, and with only 28 minutes left, Sister Blue Baby has finalized her plan.
We'll launch a final attack against the team led by Argentine Virus Queen Sigma, along with other hacker groups. After achieving a partial victory, we'll dismantle their firewall and then unleash a massive influx of people. Even if the enemy counterattacks at this point and drives Blue Baby and her group of experts out of the battlefield, there won't be much time left. Using a shameless human wave tactic at this point, even if they try to drive them out one by one, it will probably be past midnight!
After the call for participants was posted, the crowd was in an uproar. However, the problem was that not everyone in the Red Hacker Alliance was an expert; some didn't even know basic attack and defense techniques. So, another pinned post immediately appeared on the Red Hacker Alliance forum, containing a hacking tool.
Once Blue Baby and her team break into the enemy server and uninstall the firewall using this tool, the server will be like a naked woman – anyone can enter with this tool. Blue Baby and her team should be able to hold off the enemy's attack for at least five minutes. During those five minutes, everyone on the forum should flood in, using sheer numbers to buy time!
This was a last resort, and in just three minutes, the number of downloads for the software mentioned in the pinned post exceeded one thousand!
Chen Xu's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked Xiao Min, "If I enter their website and they relentlessly attack me to kick me out, will you help me?!"
To be honest, Chen Xu's palms were sweating at this moment, because it was like a drowning person seeing a dark shadow next to them and instinctively reaching out to grab it, but the problem is that after grabbing it, they find out that it is a plank or straw, or that they were just seeing things... This depends on Xiao Min's answer.
Xiaomin's voice was like heavenly music: "Of course, if you are an administrator user of this website, then when someone attacks you, it's as if they are attacking your own computer, so you should naturally turn on your firewall for full defense."
Chen Xu suppressed his excitement: "Then can you guarantee that you won't be kicked out after being attacked? The other party is a world-class hacker!"
"There's a 99% or higher chance that it won't happen. The firewall in the Magic Box Generation 1 computer is the best performing and least vulnerable among similar products. It's almost immune to traditional attack methods."
"YES!" Chen Xu pumped his fist! He realized how stupid his question had been. Computers eighty years from now! They would possess databases and virus definitions eighty years ahead of their time, shielding them from all vulnerabilities from the very beginning of computing until eighty years later. More importantly! Their operating system would be completely different from the graphical operating systems we use today!
Chen Xu threw himself onto the bed, buried his head in the pillow, and yelled, "MLGBD! So what if I can't attack? I may not have a spear, but I have the most powerful shield in the world!"
After shouting a few times, Chen Xu quickly got up and downloaded the software. He found that besides an "Attack" button, the software also had a chat room function, which was obviously very rough and rushed out. The function of the chat room was to allow everyone to rush in immediately.
In the chat room, almost everyone was a user without an ID, simply labeled "User XXX". The only one with an ID was named "Young and Fat," who was in charge of the overall command of this offensive.
Young and Fat was still live-streaming in the chat room: "They've broken in! Big Sister Baby has broken into the first level... and entered the second level! Sigma has also broken in, breaking through the third level! Okay, two of the opponents have been driven out by Big Sister Baby and Big Sister Sigma! Brothers, grab your weapons and get ready to kill!!!!!!!!! Once inside, without saying a word, grab an administrator account first! Set the password as long as it is!"
"Firewall successfully uninstalled! Charge in!"
Chen Xu's hand trembled, and he accidentally clicked the "Attack" button. The software immediately expanded to the screen, displaying the server's management account page. In other words, this software was designed to access the opposing server's management account, saving a significant amount of time.
Chen Xu quickly created an administrator account, but before he could even name it or set a password, he saw Young Fat yelling in the chat room: "Brothers, hurry up! I've been kicked out! Those bastards have a backdoor! Otherwise, how could they have kicked me out so quickly?!"
"Big Sister and the others are out too, the rest of you brothers, hang in there!"
Chen Xu quickly created an administrator account. He checked the time—last minute! The screen, which had been full of accounts, disappeared almost instantly. At that moment, Xiao Min reported: "Under data stream attack. Firewall enabled. Encryption algorithm enabled. Please enter the website administrator's name and password. Passwords encrypted with a new algorithm can maximize the security of your information."
Chen Xu didn't bother to think too much. He quickly typed 1234567890123 twice in the password field. After thinking for a moment, he right-clicked on the administrator's account and selected "Change Account Name"...
Snake must have installed a backdoor on the server, otherwise their counterattack wouldn't have been so efficient. And after they clicked to clean up all the administrator accounts on the server, they found that there was still one account that hadn't been removed.
When they saw the account name, the Snake team was stunned, all the hackers who were relentlessly attacking the server were stunned, the intelligence personnel from various countries who were watching this epic battle were stunned, and the Red Hacker Alliance was stunned...
The entire network was completely silent for a few seconds.
Because the account name is very simple:
SMMH!
Chapter 26 of the main text: Eight Hours for You
Everyone stared at the name. Was it an imposter? Or was it really the legendary figure?
The network data flow experienced a brief pause.
Chen Xu couldn't see through this; he was asking Xiao Min, "Can you kick out the other administrator accounts? Kick them all out!"
Xiaomin replied, "No, because they are all administrator accounts, and according to the principle, we cannot launch an attack on them."
Chen Xu yelled, "They hit me first! Am I just supposed to stand here and take the beating without fighting back?!"
"Don't worry, the latest firewall on the Magic Box Generation computer can ignore attacks of this level and technique."
Sigh... Chen Xu leaned back in his chair, somewhat dejected. Taking all the beatings without fighting back—was this really the legendary SMMH master?! He looked more like a guy hiding in a turtle shell. Not cool enough, not cool enough at all!
After a brief silence, Snake's team quickly reinstalled the firewall while launching an attack on the SMMH administrator.
Whether it's real SMMH or not, try it and you'll know!
Snake's members desperately began attacking SMMH, first using a backdoor program, but found that the backdoor had already been blocked... Well, although finding and blocking the system backdoor in such a short time was already a god-level achievement, because the world's top hackers had not been able to do this in the previous few days, Snake's members were convinced that SMMH was not a newcomer, but had been observing for several days before launching an attack at the last moment.
Therefore, he must have made preparations in advance. The huge fame he gained from solving the Firestorm virus made the members of Snake unconsciously acknowledge his super strength. So, sealing the system backdoor in a short time did not bring them too much shock.
Little did he know that all of this had nothing to do with Chen Xu. At that moment, he was staring blankly at the computer screen like a dumb goose, finding that he couldn't figure it out at all.
The patching of the system was entirely due to Xiaomin's defensive considerations after she took over as the website administrator; she patched any vulnerabilities she encountered... many of which were vulnerabilities that even Snake was unaware of!
Looking at computers from the perspective of 80 years from now, they're riddled with vulnerabilities... software, hardware, a whole mess, just like computers were 80 years ago... well, 80 years ago, there were no computers in the world...
Hacking sounds amazing, but it's really just about finding vulnerabilities in computers and attacking them. If there's a computer without any vulnerabilities, even a god couldn't break into it!
However, such computers and operating systems do not exist. As computer architectures become increasingly complex and software requirements grow, vulnerabilities are inevitable. But if a vulnerability is hidden where it cannot be seen, then there is no vulnerability.
Xiaomin is doing just that. In her opinion, this server has countless vulnerabilities in both hardware and software, and all she has to do is patch them, which is equivalent to patching the backdoors that the other party deliberately left.
In this way, under the same conditions, everyone is a super administrator user, and no one can kick anyone else out.
The more Snake attacked, the more alarmed they became, because in such a short time, their opponents had patched all the vulnerabilities they knew of… What did patching vulnerabilities mean? It meant they were now helpless! They frantically used software to scan, hoping to find any new weaknesses!
It was already 12:05 a.m.
Snake's people were sweating profusely, as were the other spectators... They were anxious because they wondered why SMMH hadn't kicked him out, since to outsiders, the management list for that server hadn't changed!
Just then, a line of text suddenly appeared on the webpage in Chinese: "Will you leave on your own, or should I kick you out?"
"Wow!" Everyone who was following this hacker war got excited. This was the first time they had seen the legendary SMMH speak in person!
Little did they know that Chen Xu was merely using the Empty City Stratagem. Since Xiao Min refused to help, he had no choice but to devise this plan. He asked Xiao Min to insert a notice board on the webpage and then test whether he, the "dead strategist," could scare away a group of "living Sima" (a derogatory term for a cunning and resourceful person).
Snake quickly replied in English: "SMMH, your strength is amazing. You are indeed a master who can solve the Firestorm virus on your own. Therefore, we hope to have a fair battle with you. The time is now. You can choose the method and the server."
An uproar ensued!
This was the first time anyone had ever seen Snake speak in such a respectful tone!
Snake's reputation extends beyond their exceptional skills; it's their infamous behavior and character that truly set them apart. They are incredibly arrogant, launching wave after wave of malicious attacks. They are racist, looking down on people of color. They have reason to be proud, but this pride has become arrogance—a repulsive kind of arrogance!
But now it's clear that Snake is a bully who preys on the weak. When they encounter SMMH, who are technically superior to them, and when they realize their advantages have vanished, they become incredibly humble... Even if you always believe in the supremacy of strength, this approach is still despicable.
A line of Chinese characters quickly appeared on the webpage: "Are you worthy?"
"Wow!" The spectators erupted in cheers, all saying that SMMH was too arrogant! They dared to say such things to the world's number one hacker organization! Some people felt that the statement was too broad; if Snake didn't deserve it, then frankly, there were very few people in the world who would dare to say they "deserved" it.
Snake's people were also furious, and after a long while, they finally typed: "We know you are highly skilled, but don't be too arrogant! Do you think that no hacker in the world is qualified to challenge you?"
“I never said that, don’t twist my words.”
Just as everyone was wondering why SMMH's tone had suddenly taken such a sharp turn, another line of text appeared on the webpage:
"Since the birth of the TCP/IP protocol, the internet has penetrated every corner of the world in the past two decades. Hackers, however, emerged even earlier, after the advent of computers. Back then, hackers were simply a group of experts who were passionate about challenges, valued freedom, and advocated for information sharing. They were the true hackers."
The development of hacking and the development of computers are inseparable, and similarly, the development of computers is inseparable from hacking.
The purpose of early hackers was simply to find vulnerabilities in computers and networks and report them to administrators for fixing, thereby making computers and networks more perfect and advanced.
Hackers, using a term from ancient China, can be respectfully called heroes.
They move freely on the internet, driving the development and improvement of computers and networks behind the scenes. What they want to do is not malicious destruction, but to pursue sharing, free access, and advocate freedom and equality…
Because this passage wasn't copied and pasted directly, but typed out word by word, each word striking people's hearts like a hammer blow.
Actually, Chen Xu had Xiao Min look for information about hackers on the computer, and she found a novel... "On the Hacker Spirit," to be published in 2037. He thought this passage was good, so Chen Xu released it.
He's now trying to portray himself as a hermit, a hermit who doesn't want to get involved in hacker battles... well, to put it bluntly, it's what they call showing off!
However, if you try to act cool but don't do it convincingly, you can easily end up looking like a fool. But since these words came from SMMH, the effect was already achieved.
The webpage continued to display: "Hacker, what is a hacker? Leading the trend in computers, constantly discovering and fixing vulnerabilities, making networks and computers more perfect, that's what a hacker is!"
Hackers are leaders in the computer world, disseminators of computer culture and knowledge. Under their guidance, computer civilization will flourish, the user base will grow larger, and the world will become more convenient—that's what hackers are all about!
The power of hackers breaks down the shackles of reality, allowing netizens worldwide to freely roam the internet, acquire more systematic knowledge, and communicate with others. That's the true essence of hacking!
So Snake, I ask you, is what you're doing still hacking?
Cold sweat dripped from the foreheads of every member of Snake, as did countless others watching the webpage. How long ago was it that hackers, who once dedicated themselves to building networks, were reduced to being saboteurs who destroy them for various purposes? Hacker and saboteurs—a single word difference, yet worlds apart!
Every computer enthusiast who comes into contact with the internet and becomes a true hacker is taught the hacker spirit and hacker code. However, Snake, despite possessing such immense power, chose a path of destroying computers and networks for his own profit.
But that thought only flashed through my mind. In an era where everyone is looking out for themselves, who would be foolish enough to follow the so-called hacker code?!
New text appeared on the webpage: "I know that what I'm saying is meaningless to you. I wouldn't be saying this if it weren't for the fact that the firewall you developed is very interesting."
"Interesting?" This firewall that torments hackers around the world to the point of ecstasy is merely "interesting"?
At this time, Chen Xu also obtained information about this firewall from Xiao Min... It was released in 2010 by an unknown company and was hailed as the world's most powerful firewall at the time. In other words, the technology of this firewall developed by this organization was at least four years ahead of the world!
Upon seeing this advanced technology, Chen Xu felt a bit apprehensive, wondering if this was another time traveler.
But Xiaomin told him that the military's research in computers is actually very advanced, often more than ten years ahead of civilian technology. This is because the best technologies are prioritized for military use, while civilian technology is mostly outdated. Of course, the technology hackers possess is also far more advanced than civilian equipment.
Snake's confidence likely stems from their confidence in this firewall.
At this point, Snake's words appeared on the webpage: "We admire your naive hacker spirit in this day and age, but we believe even more that we can create greater wealth with our abilities. SMMH, we also acknowledge that your skills are superior to ours, as can be seen from your security software, which is absolutely a masterpiece! However, we insist on having a showdown with you. Are you Chinese?"
"Yes, I am Chinese."
Upon hearing this, the members of the Red Hacker Alliance immediately cheered. SMMH was indeed Chinese! And he admitted it himself! What frustrated the world's intelligence organizations was that their forces in China were the weakest. Finding and controlling such a person within China was simply impossible.
"Very well. If you do not agree to a face-to-face confrontation with us, then we will launch a frenzied attack on major Chinese portal websites. As for how much damage will be caused, that is beyond our knowledge."
That's outrageous!
