The Goddess Shines on America

"Alice, you are welcome."

When the car stopped at the door of the Pentagon, then FBI director William Webster and NSA director Dominic Fryer greeted Alice at the door.

The breeze came out, and Alice swept her long hair: "Gentlemen, what is going on with me in such a hurry? The phone just said to come as soon as possible."

Today, Alice is dressed in a decent yet vigorous outfit, a white lace-trimmed shirt and a small red skirt, plus a pair of low heels, and a Louis Vuitton handbag on her hand, which is as formal as possible.

"A big event, Alice, let's come in and talk about it."

The speaker was NSA Director Dominic. He patted Alice on the back and introduced it into the Pentagon. The three of them moved quickly in the corridor. In the process, you could see hurried staff everywhere. Many people couldn't help but stop for a moment when they saw a high school-aged girl and the two characters.

"The basic situation is like this."

As he walked, Dominic explained: "You know, computer networks were first used by the Pentagon for military use. They were established in the 1960s. In the last few years, we have only lifted them. The military-only limitation of the network has been changed, and it has been opened to civilian use.

"Hmm."

"In the past few months, IBM’s ￡long￡wind￡wen￡learning, w∞ww.cfw←x.ne↑t incident, which caused a sensation in the world’s cybersecurity The company is the main commercial crime. So not long after it happened, we invited you to the Pentagon..."

Alice's pace slowed down, because the office in front was leading to the Pentagon Network Management Center.

She looked at Dominic strangely: "You... shouldn't be invaded anymore?"

Sure enough, the NSA director and the FBI director on the side showed embarrassed expressions.

"You guessed it, Alice, we..."

"Normal, there must be many masters in the private sector. Your network is now only maintained by a group of programmers, and it is normal that it will be breached."

Alice interrupted Dominic's words directly and said by herself: "As for the firewall, our company is currently developing it, and it will take a while."

Talking to smart people is easy, but Dominic still asked: "About how long will it take?"

The three of them chatted in the corridor like this, but fortunately no one was around.

"Well..."

Alice pursed her lips.

In fact, it makes sense. After receiving 30 million U.S. dollars of research and development funds from the Department of Defense, Alice directly put it into her own small treasury, although the account was Cisco’s corporate funds.

After all, for her currently focusing on the talent tree in the computer field, whether it is software programming or hardware design drawings, it only takes a day to complete. The reason for not delivering to the Pentagon immediately was just to give a normal "development cycle".

"It will probably take another month!"

After thinking about it carefully, Alice gave an accurate answer: “It’s June now, and I’m going to high school in the UK in September. I’m almost able to give you things before then. If I’m not there, the Cisco team wants to Things are developed...at least it will be December."

The total time of six months, the difference of three months, Alice still extremely reserved. God knows, because of the limited area of ​​the office building, Cisco hasn't recruited new employees for a while, and everyone is almost busy. After all, there are not many orders during this time.

She wants to really propose a firewall project immediately, and before recruiting new employees, she may not be able to complete it in June next year!

"One month? That's great, I really look forward to the release of this product sooner."

With emotion, Dominic pushed open the office door.

This room is not small in size, it is filled with computer equipment everywhere, and there are many programmers who are dizzy and busy.

"Remus!"

Dominic beckoned and shouted: "Introduce, Remus, Director of the Office of Network Management, Remus, the boss of Cisco Systems, Alice." "Oh my God, finally, finally!"

Remus was a short man with a little shame. Seeing Alice's arrival, he shook hands with her excitedly: "The master is finally here!"

"Network, is that the director of the management office?"

Adding an accent to the word "management", Alice said, "I thought it would be the Cyber ​​Security Office."

Remus blushed a little, it was not a good experience to be ridiculed by such a little girl, even if she is now very much valued by the director-level figures.

William Webster, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke: "Remus, tell Alice about the situation. I don't want that, when I have picked up the pen to sign the arrest warrant, the kid slipped away."

"Yes, yes, no problem."

Remus wiped the sweat off his forehead, not knowing whether he was a little nervous.

The basic situation is this.

On the night three days ago, the military website of the Pentagon was hacked, and the visitors were so rampant that they browsed many core confidential documents of the Department of Defense. When the people in the network management center found traces of intrusion, they immediately started tracking them. However, due to the superb technology of the other party, the programmers in the leader management center went around hundreds of broilers in most of the world and disappeared directly.

"So, you really were hacked by private hackers."

Alice was gloating and said with a grin: "And there have been cases for a long time? After all, computer networks have existed for many years, and it is impossible that no one has ever tried to invade other networks."

William Webster smiled bitterly and patted Alice on the shoulder: "It is true. Many people who study computers are young lads, but it is not easy for them to stop if some of them have mastered the technology of hacking into the network."

"But most of them are pranks, and some people even harden patches for hacked websites, right?"

Alice nodded and said: "True malicious intrusions are still rare, and the technical content of this thing is too high, so the current situation is that there are few cases and the legislation is not sound. Unless there is a big trouble, otherwise it is basically... hum."

With a cough, Director Dominic interrupted Alice's chatter: "I can't tell you what he has browsed, but I can tell you his identity."

Dominic said: "His name is Kevin Mitnick. He is now in his early twenties, but he is already a habitual offender. As early as three or four years ago, we caught him for his invasion. At that time, let’s not talk about the current IBM incident. Cybercrime itself is very rare, and there is no law to follow, so he can only be imprisoned in a juvenile correctional facility for two days."

"But this kid is endless!"

William Webster interrupted: "Alice, I'm not afraid of your jokes, this kid invaded the North American Air Defense Command System as early as 15 years old! We have been investigating him a long time ago, and we have arrested him, but he is It's endless..."

"Let’s talk about what you have lost first."

Alice waved her hand to stop Webster's words: "If it's just for an ordinary invasion, call me from the west coast all the way, and the labor charge will double."

Webster looked at Dominic.

Among them, the staff of the Cyber ​​Security Center had no room to intervene, only Remus stood by their side.

After a moment of silence, the national security director spoke: "What he saw was the contract orders between the Ministry of National Defense and several arms contractors, which involved absolute state secrets. Although the technicians did not find any traces of the information being copied, There is no guarantee that he erased the operation records. I need you to help us find the IP address of that kid. The FBI stationed there will act immediately and catch him!"

The action will begin immediately.

Alice is also really interested in the identity of the intruder.

Kevin Mitnick, she has never heard of this kid's name, but anyone who can become a top hacker in the 1980s is undoubtedly the most talented person. After all, the popularity of online teaching at this time is far less than that of the 21st century. The big guys who can be born in such a small base and simple environment are absolutely top terrible guys after they continue to grow over time!

She waved a small hand: "Give me three computers with the best configuration, and then give me three keyboards and a cup of black tea."

Remus, who was in charge of the execution, was stunned: "I can understand black tea, three computers, three keyboards?"

Alice glanced at him with small eyes: "I have a fast hand, do you have a problem?"

Dominic laughed: "Get ready, Alice is not an ordinary programmer!"

This is the network management center~www.readwn.com~ Computers are everywhere, and it is not difficult to find the three with the highest configuration, but it takes a little bit of effort when placing them.

At the same time, it was accompanied by Alice’s complaint: "One is facing me, two are placed side by side, and the keyboard is directly on the table. Um...it’s a bit crowded, I said this gentleman, you didn’t order a bigger Table?"

And Remus' helplessness: "Child, this is a government office. We can't buy large desks like the bosses of private companies."

Then Alice squinted again: "I'm just complaining, what can you explain?"

Then, she smiled and hugged her arms, and looked at Remus slyly: "Everyone says that explanation is to cover up. Is there anyone in the Pentagon who really wastes it? There should be purchase records in your computer, let me see. Well?"

After saying this, the faces of the two big men who stood aside were all blue.

"Alice, we asked you to catch the hacker. Don't be addicted too!" (To be continued.)
