Brother, I can’t move. Sister, please try harder.

Chapter 209: Could the website be attacked?

“Start contacting major universities, libraries, and bookstores!”

The release of a new journal is not a matter of simply saying "publish". In order to become an instant hit, Lu Renjia did a lot of work.

In fact, not only Lu Renjia was doing his work, but those math experts also put down their old faces and made one phone call after another.

"Principal Chen, I have a favor to ask of you. The first issue of "Mathematical Decryption" that Professor Chen Mo is responsible for will be released soon."

"Principal Li, please support me."

"Director Liu, you can't favor one over another and subscribe to other people's journals but not ours."

"Director Wu"

Sure enough, there is power when there are many people. With so many great experts working together, no one refused at all. Every university and library contacted unanimously ordered a few copies.

Of course, professional journals should not expect much sales.

It is already a great thing to be able to spread it to all universities and large libraries.

The release of the first issue of "Mathematical Decryption" is also very gratifying. Nearly 3 copies were ordered just after it was released.

Although 3 copies may not seem like a lot, for professional journals, this is really not a small amount.

For example, the internationally renowned journals "Nature" and "Science" only sell this amount of each issue in China!

Obtaining such results made Lu Renjia slightly proud, and he also breathed a deep sigh of relief: "Finally, I have lived up to everyone's expectations."

At the same time, Brown also received the news immediately.

However, at this moment, he no longer looked as crazy as before. Instead, he was a little dismissive: "This journal is useless even if it is published. It is destined to be unable to go out, and its influence is bound to be limited."

"Wait and see!"

On the other hand, in order to expand the influence of "Mathematical Decryption", Lu Renjia specially set up an official website and registered a personal homepage.

And also immediately released the news:
[The first issue of "Mathematical Decryption" has been officially released. If you need it, you can order it on the official website or go to major bookstores to buy it]

This should have been a very unpopular piece of information, as not many people paid attention to it.

However, very suddenly, this piece of information appeared on the hot search list with lightning speed.

What’s even more outrageous is that as soon as it appeared, it immediately dominated the trending list at No. 3.

Immediately, some people who didn’t know the truth were a little confused, and they started to discuss it heatedly:

[Big Star: Can someone tell me what is going on? 】

[Brave Yunduo: I’m also surprised, why is a mathematics journal so popular?Or the top three? 】

[The Beauty of Hometown 123: How many little celebrities will be envied and jealous by this, but they were actually grabbed the hot search by a mathematics journal, and a 3-second silence was observed for them. 】

[Hungry for nine days in three days: Isn’t this hot search coming out of nowhere?Can't anyone explain it? 】

However, what is a bit strange is that only people asked, but no one answered.

It seems that the entire comment section is filled with people who don’t know the truth.

In fact, that's it.

Because at this moment, those who know the truth have all flocked to the official website of "Mathematics Decryption", wanting to fulfill their previous promises. Whether it is for support or collection, they all want to order a copy.

However, for a professional journal website, a website that usually has three or five chickens coming in is not bad, but how can it withstand the sudden influx of so many people.

Even without holding on for 5 seconds, the official website of "Mathematical Decryption" had already changed to 502.

Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded.

Immediately afterwards, the official website of "Mathematics Decryption" was compromised.

[Mo Dishan: Why can’t I access the official website? 】

[Physics Carl: Has anyone bought it? 】

[Sunshine Rainbow 1899: Just a little bit short of payment, but the website turned into 502. 】

[Cat 29: This time, even if this is Professor Chen Mo’s website, I still have to complain. What kind of website is this? 】

[Fat people are most afraid of summer: Everyone has never thought about it. This is a professional journal website, and it can only be browsed by three or five people. 】

[Xiao Shui Keai: In other words, the reason why the website was shut down is us? 】

[Qingfeng Mingyue: So, Professor Chen Mo should be quite confused when he looks at the website that was killed, right? 】

[There are good rewards in the world: Fortunately, I have made two preparations, and I am already on the way to the bookstore.]

[Sports-loving Fatty Blue: As expected, the heroes think alike. I have arrived at the door of the largest bookstore here, hoping to find it here.]

[Dr. Dinner: I wonder if it’s too late for me to go now? 】

At the same time, facing the dead website, Chen Mo was not as confused as netizens said, because he had never paid attention to the issue.

However, one person was extremely confused.

This person was Lu Renjia, who was still complacent just now. He never dreamed that a good website would suddenly be killed.
Lu Renjia specializes in journal operations, so how does he know about websites?

However, he still understands that professional matters should be left to professionals.

Without hesitation at all, he immediately called Qiu Shiyang, manager of the development department of Xinnan Group's Beijing branch.

Of course, the reason why Lu Renjia went to the Beijing branch of Xinnan Group was because Chen Moke did not seek personal gain with power at all.

It's really all a coincidence.

After the Xinnan Group's Beijing Branch had overcome the previous difficulty, it immediately recruited new personnel and reorganized a new development department.

After what happened last time, it really scared Feng Delun, the general manager of Xinnan Group's Beijing branch, and Qiu Shiyang of the development department.

I didn’t dare to take any more risks, and the new team needed to get used to it, so I only dared to take on some small projects.

It just so happens that the website of "Mathematics Decryption" is just an extremely small project, isn't it?

In the end, the Xinnan Group's Beijing Branch offered a price of 28 yuan and included five years of maintenance, which was exactly what Lu Renjia wanted.

If he can spend a small amount of money to do big things, why not do it!

In the final analysis, this matter was just a coincidence, and Chen Mo was completely unaware of it.

"What?"

"The website is down?"

After Qiu Shiyang heard Lu Renjia's complaints, he was also extremely confused.

He really couldn't understand how a website with only [-] visits a day could crash.
"Could the website be hacked?"

With this in mind, Qiu Shiyang first apologized to Lu Renjia: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I will have someone check it out immediately to find out what the reason is."

Immediately afterwards, he also waved vigorously to the people around him: "The grid of "Mathematical Decryption" is down. Check what's going on? Are you being attacked?"

When other people heard that the website "Mathematical Decryption" was down, they were extremely confused. Although this project is not big, everyone worked very hard on it.

The server used is also the best. It’s really hard to understand. How could such a website crash so quickly?
Even if you don’t understand it, everyone will take action immediately.Some people check the status of the server, and some people check the background program of the website.

Suddenly, everyone was confused again.

"The server is offline."

"The program also crashed and the background cannot be opened at all"

After hearing these reports, Qiu Shiyang was once again extremely confused, and quickly waved his hand again: "Hurry up and check the logs to see what's going on?"

"it is good!"

Someone responded immediately, followed by a "crackling" sound of typing on the keyboard.

However, a short while later, the unbelievable voice of the person just now rang out: "Eighteen minutes ago, the website suddenly received a huge influx of access requests."

Someone immediately echoed: "Needless to say, it must be this huge number of access requests that brought the website server down, right?"

At this time, Qiu Shiyang waved his hand again and said, "Continue to check to see if you have been attacked?"

"it is good!"

The person in front of the computer responded again, and then there was another "crackling" sound of rapidly typing the keyboard.

The results came out quickly. The person in front of the computer stared at the screen and looked at the access IP, while shaking his head in confusion: "Looking at the access IP, it doesn't look like he's being attacked!"

Finally, this person also came to a conclusion: "I prefer that these are normal visits, because whether it is access traces, IP addresses, etc., it does not look like a network attack."

This conclusion was a bit hard for Qiu Shiyang to accept, and he couldn't help but ask: "For a website that usually only has [-] visits, where do you think this huge number of visits come from?"

It's not that Qiu Shiyang doesn't want to believe his subordinate's conclusion, it's just that he really doesn't have the confidence to convince his customers with such a conclusion!

"It's a bit strange indeed."

Qiu Shiyang's question stunned everyone.

It's okay to ask them to write code, but it's really difficult for them to crack such a bizarre thing.

In the end, no one could explain why.

Even Qiu Shiyang was a little confused. He had no choice. He could only wave his hand again: "Okay, don't worry about this now. Let's restore the website first."

"it is good."

No one objected, and several people immediately started moving.

Someone restarted the server, someone restored the website program, and restored the backup data.

However, something that confused everyone happened again.

The website program that had just been restarted and restored actually crashed again within 3 seconds before access could be restored.

The reason was quickly discovered: "It was still because of the huge number of access requests."

At this moment, Qiu Shiyang was also a little confused: "What's going on? Where do you get so many visits?"

Don't blame Qiu Shi. The website has been unable to be restored for a long time. This will make them look very unprofessional.

As a newcomer in the software industry, if such a thing spreads, it will ruin your reputation.

If they can't even build a small website, how can they expect others to dare to entrust big projects to them?

"Ugh"

After taking a deep breath, Qiu Shiyang could only call Lu Renjia back with great helplessness.

The matter was not resolved immediately, but the explanation still needed to be explained first.

Otherwise, things will only get worse.

At the same time, Lu Renjia, who was still a little confused, suddenly received a report from one of his subordinates.

The job this subordinate is responsible for happens to be the content maintenance of the official WeChat account and website.

"Mr. Lu, the comments on the official Weibo seem to be a little off!"

"What's wrong?"

Lu Renjia also held his chin and turned to look at this subordinate.

"Mr. Lu, a lot of comments suddenly appeared on the official WeChat account, saying that they want to order journals, and many people also complained that our website cannot be opened."

"Is there such a thing?"

At this moment, Lu Renjia became more and more confused and scratched his bun.

At the same time, I couldn't help but mutter: "The mathematics journal we publish is not an entertainment magazine. Why do so many people want to order it?"

"Jingle Bell"

Just when Lu Renjia was at a loss, his phone suddenly rang, which instantly brought him back to reality.

Lu Renjia didn't think much about it. After taking a look at the caller ID, he saw that it was indeed Qiu Shiyang from Xinnan Group, and he quickly answered the call.

And he asked immediately: "Director Qiu, how is it? Is the website restored?"

In Lu Renjia's view, their website is just a small website, and it should be very simple to restore it.

However, Lu Renjia's question immediately made Qiu Shiyang embarrassed and hesitant: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, it may take a while to restore the website. We are still investigating the cause."

Hearing this answer, Lu Renjia was also quite surprised: "You haven't recovered yet?"

However, Lu Renjia did not raise too many objections. He just asked calmly: "Don't you know what the cause is?"

Qiu Shiyang also quickly replied: "Of course the reason was found. It was all because the website suddenly received a huge number of access requests, and then the server and website program couldn't bear it and went down."

"We just tried restarting the server and website program, but it failed to last for 3 seconds and crashed again. The reason was the huge number of access requests. Our logs show that the number of visits at that time exceeded 3."

"Now, we are investigating whether the website has been attacked."

"Huge amount of visits?"

After listening to Qiu Shiyang's answer, especially when he heard the words 'massive interviews', Lu Renjia couldn't help but repeat it.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Renjia also immediately thought of something. Could it be that those people who wanted to subscribe to the journal had crashed the website?
After having this idea, Lu Renjia became a little embarrassed.

Because Lu Renjia clearly remembers that when discussing website customization, Xinnan Group made it clear that this website can only host 3000 visits at the same time. If this number exceeds this number, it will easily cause server instability, or even Downtime
At that time, he was thinking that as a professional mathematics journal website, it would be good to have 3 visitors at the same time, let alone 3000?
Impossible in any way.

So, I didn’t take it seriously.

Fortunately, now, the number of visits actually exceeded the maximum number of visits by a full 10 times, which was indeed completely beyond Lu Renjia's expectations and imagination.

Lu Renjia, who felt extremely embarrassed, quickly apologized: "It's probably not an attack, it's probably a normal visit."

Lu Renjia's words instantly confused Qiu Shiyang, and he couldn't help but mutter: "Normal access? Didn't you say before that your website is more of a decoration, and not many people visit it?"

Lu Renjia immediately said helplessly: "Normally, this is the case, but I didn't expect that this generation of netizens would be so abnormal!"
