War Paradise

In the small room with brown bear pattern wallpaper, rhythmic purrings are reverberating incessantly.

On the gray sofa facing the door, a woman in red was lying on the sofa sleeping Zhengxiang.

The long silver hair was scattered on the sofa, the eyes under the oblique bangs were tightly closed, her nose was wrinkled from time to time, and the corners of her mouth dripped with drool.

The woman's body rose and fell slightly with her breathing, and she was holding a brown bear doll in her arms, almost like a hamster holding a molar stick.

In front of the woman holding a doll sleeping in Zhengxiang, a square blue dialog box floats with many texts and pictures scrolling, showing the headlines of today's "Hacker Daily".

"The Australian hacker war continues, and ambassadors from various countries have withdrawn from the Australian network. 》

"Huh...ha..." The woman in red was still snoring.

Then, there was a heavy knock on the door of the house.

"Boom boom boom."

Different from the anti-theft doors used by ordinary users, the doors of this room are extraordinarily thick, made of pitch-black metal, and screwed with very textured silver screws.

This is not so much an anti-theft door, but rather a protective door for a military bunker.

"Boom boom boom."

The knock on the door sounded again, and the sleeping silver-haired woman had no intention of waking up.

Then, about ten centimeters above her head, a red telephone receiver-shaped icon lit up.

"You have a new private chat message."

Even after receiving the message, the silver-haired woman did not get up, but turned over, with an unsuspecting white face facing the heavy metal door. then……

"boom!"

A loud and deafening noise reverberated in the entire space, and the seemingly solid metal door suddenly twisted and deformed, and then suddenly separated from the door frame, bringing out a dark afterimage blasting over.

The big steel plate slapped the silver-haired woman firmly, and blasted her into the wall behind her with the sofa!

If you suffer such a blow in the real world, even the world bodybuilding champion will burp in an instant.

But the silver-haired woman seemed unharmed, opened the metal door and stood up. While rubbing his eyes, stared at the person who appeared at the door.

"What are you doing?" She said angrily, "I'm going to call the police!"

It was a "monster" in a black robe that violently blasted her hiding place. At this time, the black-robed man had drifted into this seemingly warm hiding place like a ghost, making a cold voice:

"I need your help."

"Could it be Pulse Entertainment again?" The silver-haired woman looked down at the dark red dress used by her module: "What are your obsessions with a game company? Even if your identity is exposed, you still want to Invade that ghost place... Do you still need my help to open the door this time? My charge is very expensive."

I was complaining that the silver-haired woman actually trusted this mysterious client very much.

As a reclusive hacker, she only values ​​the money of her clients, and this mysterious man who calls herself "Frankenstein" has always paid unambiguously, and has paid more than five million dollars in total.

"No." Frankenstein shook his head: "I need your help to identify the hacker who invaded Pulse Entertainment and expose his disguise."

"Are you serious?" The silver-haired woman looked at the client in surprise.

Frankenstein nodded without hesitation.

...

At the same moment, the virtual office area of ​​the Chinese branch of Pulse Entertainment was shrouded in an atmosphere of confusion.

"what's the situation?"

Seeing that the office area was about to be scanned, the office workers in the corridor began to talk.

Everyone knows that there is no such thing as a "large scan" unless there is an accident, or when someone intrudes, the large scan will only start.

——Is it discovered?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi, who was in the crowd, suddenly felt his heart hanging.

Generally speaking, in an emergency, the electronic guard will turn on the fast-moving mode.

Did you discover that you were an intruder? But if this were the case, the electronic guards should have attacked long ago.

Lin Chi is still a little confused about the current situation. I can only stand still and compress my nervousness to a minimum.

Then, a dark green light suddenly lit up in front of the corridor, and an electronic guard came out from the corner, rushing towards him quickly, and then—

The electronic guards galloped past the office workers standing aside, and the light green light film brought out by them scanned everyone in the vicinity as they passed by. Instead of stopping more, they just turned a corner. Bend and disappear at the other end of the corridor.

Realizing that he hadn't been exposed, Lin Chi used the same module as the other office workers around him, showing a confused expression. Secretly thinking about what happened just now, I always feel that something is wrong:

Judging from the reactions of others, large-scale scans should not happen every day. The guard did detect suspicious data before starting this scan, but he was not noticed, that is to say--

Has anyone else invaded this area?

After reaching this conclusion, Lin Chi's complexion suddenly became serious. Although he was not found, if other hackers invaded Pulse Entertainment, the security measures here would undoubtedly be strengthened.

In this way, the difficulty for him to invade the database has obviously increased a lot.

The **** who invaded at the same time increased the difficulty for him. However, if you use the electronic guard to search for another hacker, you may be able to provide yourself with an opportunity.

Mindful of this, Lin Chi also decisively walked down the stairs, entered the second floor, mixed in the crowd who was still in a daze, and began to detect the encryption level of all nearby "rooms".

——No one will put important documents in a computer without a password. If it is a database storing confidential information, obviously a higher encryption level will be used. After Lin Chi quietly searched, he quickly discovered the clues:

Unlike the third floor, the encryption level of an unremarkable brown wooden door in the corner of the second floor is much higher than other nearby office areas.

Perceiving this, Lin Chi continued to pretend to be an ordinary office worker, walked upright to the corner of the corridor on the second floor and stood in front of the storage room.

Staring at the dark brown wooden door in front of him, he began to check the encryption level of the door and whether there was an alarm program nearby.

With the promotion of virtual office, in order to prevent the leakage of company secrets, the security measures inside the office area are naturally very strict.

In addition to the monitoring program that detects intruders at all times, and the "large scan" that detects everyone in the area once an intruder is found, there are other rules in the office area:

In the office network, it is forbidden to run any unauthorized program, and to replace the module is also strictly prohibited.

The detection of running programs here is extremely strict, let alone a few G-sized modules at every turn, even if it is running a small program of tens of KB, it will be found immediately. Then it will be directly judged as an intruder.

In most virtual office areas, employees must report even if they intend to play audio files. They can only start listening to songs after the detection is completed and permission is obtained.

However, the "Master Key", a brute force cracking program provided by Frankenstein who once invaded Pulse Entertainment's network, has already bypassed system detection through loopholes. Even if Lin Chi uses the key to crack the door, he will not be detected by the alarm program. Measured, it will only be judged as the normal behavior of employees.

However, things are obviously not that simple...

Lin Chi was about to use the key to unlock the door of the storage room when he saw two electronic guards rushing from the back of the corridor. After passing by, he turned a corner and continued to check the area on the second floor.

"..."

Until the two electronic guards disappeared out of sight, Lin Chi tried to use the key again and tested the unlocking time:

Then, a prompt popped up by the brute force cracking program appeared in his sight.

"This area uses the AES advanced algorithm. It takes 15 seconds to unlock the office area. Please avoid the electronic guard during the unlocking process."

"Fifteen seconds..." Lin Chi squinted his eyes and concealed the key again, looking at the two electronic guards who were patrolling at high speed again, and fell into deep thought.

——It takes fifteen seconds to crack this door, but the electronic guard will patrol this area every seven seconds. If the master key is still working at that time, you will undoubtedly be discovered directly.

"Damn." Lin Chi cursed in a low voice.

When the electronic guard passed through the corridor for the third time, one of the robots suddenly turned around and cast the red light of the head on the body of Lin Chi's module, and at the same time it began to scan, it made an emotional electronic sound. :

"Suspicious data is detected, please stay in place and cooperate with the scan, warning, now mobile will be attacked."

Hearing the lines of the electronic guard, Lin Chi's face still wore the polite smile that came with the module.

But at this moment, his heart has sunk quickly.

He obviously avoided this killing machine carefully, and it didn't show any flaws. Why did it suddenly stop?

No matter what the reason it started to doubt itself, Lin Chi knew well that if the Electronic Guard suddenly began to scan itself, he would basically die!

——So, do you have to go offline forcibly?

If you forcibly log out now, although you will leave a lot of data remnants, you are using a forged ID and you should not reveal your identity. It's just that this fake module and the "master key" in hand can only be discarded here...

As if hearing what Lin Chi was thinking, the robot slightly raised its head and raised its metal right hand. From the palm of the hand, stretch out a silver barrel about ten centimeters long:

"Find the intruder and start killing mode."

"hiss!"

The extremely dazzling silver light reflected the metal walls of the corridor brightly.

In the astonished gaze of the office workers in the corridor, the light beam emitted by the electronic guard brushed past Lin Chi and hit the metal wall at the other end of the corridor without fail.

On the metal wall that was exactly the same as the other nearby walls, a vague and translucent figure appeared, with white smoke on his body, and he staggered and started to escape.

"..."

Unexpected developments made Lin Chi, who was about to forcefully offline, also caught off guard for a while.

At this time, the armed robot in front of him had already taken a stride to chase the past, and at the same time continued to emit electronic sounds that could not distinguish between men and women:

"Start to clean up the intruders."

Watching the electronic guard and the injured figure disappear at the entrance of the corridor, other employees in the corridor began to whisper:

"Is it a hacker?"

"Invading here is seeking a dead end, that person can't escape."

"You don't want to be a dead boy..."

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the electronic guard to leave, Lin Chi, who was still standing in front of the storage room, decisively used the master key to brute force the door with the highest level of encryption on the second layer.

Although the office workers in the corridor could not see what he did, now, as long as an electronic guard appears, he will be spotted immediately!

So-it's time to gamble on luck again.

Lin Chi focused his gaze on the corner of the corridor, waited calmly for the cracking to be completed, and was ready to forcibly exit.

Ten, nine, eight...

The countdown number in front of me was slowly beating, and it seemed to go more slowly than normal. It seemed to Lin Chi that a minute had passed, and the countdown finally reached zero.

The three characters "Cracked" appeared in his sight, Lin Chi put away the master key in an instant, looked around sneakily, confirmed that he was not being watched by the electronic guard, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

Then, he opened the door of the storage room cautiously, turned around and locked the encrypted door after entering the room.

Just after entering the storage room, before he could observe the situation around him, Lin Chi popped up a few lines of text prompts:

You have entered the second recycle bin of Pulse Entertainment, which is used to store temporarily deleted programs.

"Damn, this is a garbage dump?" Lin Chi opened his eyes in surprise:

If there is no error in this line, that is to say-what I found is not a secret database, but a recycle bin for temporarily storing deleted files!

Like ordinary "recycle bins", the layout of this storage room is also messy. There are many miscellaneous objects of different shapes in the room, making the originally small space more narrow.

"What is this place?"

Lin Chi looked at the scene around him curiously, picked up a program on the shelf, opened it and looked at it, and found that it was a video file of an old movie.

It doesn't look like a warehouse for storing secret information. It is just an ordinary garbage station, full of discarded programs waiting to be processed.

But if this is the case, why does this recycle bin need advanced encryption?

——Is it a cover-up trick?

Realizing that the situation is not as simple as it seems, Lin Chi checked in the storage room and found no obvious abnormalities.

Since the automatic detection could not find an abnormality, he could only choose the inefficient manual detection, and started to manually open all the programs in the storage room one by one.
