Desperate Hacker

Chapter 663 Underlying Logic
On the second day, Sean didn't sleep a wink all night.

He looked at a series of logs left behind by an attack on his server yesterday.

Many of them were attack techniques that he had never seen before.

last night.

Everything was going smoothly.

But in the end, Sean felt as if he was suddenly the enemy of hackers all over the world.

He was overwhelmed with various attack methods.

His server changed hands multiple times.

But Sean had nothing to lose.

Because his server stores some tools he wrote himself, as well as vulnerability information.

It was obvious that his opponent's attack style attracted him.

He couldn't bear to disconnect from the network.

So the results he accumulated over the years.

He traveled around the world and even became the security director of the Department of Homeland Security with his unique tricks, but his opponents saw through them all!
But Sean also learned a lot of new things.

Only he himself understands the excitement of last night.

And now he is in the midst of a long aftertaste.

The only thing he couldn't figure out was why his opponent suddenly became stronger last night?
He desperately wanted to find out what was going on.

At noon those people came again.

It's clear they're expecting Sean to make good progress.

But when they saw the decadent Sean, they seemed to understand everything.

"I want to say that our patience is limited, and we can't let you waste our time here endlessly!"

"If you knew technology and stayed with me to deal with those people last night, you wouldn't be able to say these words! Do you know that at that moment, I felt that it was not a person or even a country that was dealing with me? , but an entire alien planet!”

"What do you mean?"

"What I'm saying is that my opponent is much stronger than me. I can't handle this on my own! And it's impossible! Just with the rags you gave me!"

"Sean, what on earth are you talking about? You have forgotten our agreement. If we can't do this, we will have to send you back to Guantánamo!"

"I understand now what the problem is. I was imprisoned for 8 years. What happened in the world during these 8 years? I have no idea! Do you know what I saw yesterday? That institute is using gene generation If you use generative AI to study drugs, they can use generative AI to study the structure of proteins. So, if you think about it differently, why can’t you use this technology to study vulnerabilities in security systems?”

"What did you say?"

"I was fighting Transformers last night. I was fighting algorithms. Damn it, I was fighting a bunch of graphics cards!"

"Sean! Just tell us directly whether you can do it or not!"

"This can't be done! Even if I have the same thing as them now, I can't do it! Their research is world-class! Do you understand? Their set of things is basically the same thing as what Google uses , It’s just that Google uses it to advertise, and they use it to be hackers! Last night, my system was like a large mesh screen, and nothing could be trapped!”

"Okay, Sean, I'm glad you are assisting us. If you want, you can stay here for another seafood dinner at noon, but we will send you back to Guantánamo in the afternoon!"

"Wait a minute! Hey! Wait a minute!" "What else is there to say!"

"I said that I can't challenge my opponent from a technical perspective, but don't forget that the most important technique for hackers is social engineering! Why don't you try to break into the opponent's tight fortress from the inside?"

"We have tried to acquire each other's AI team! But obviously, those guys are very satisfied with the current situation!"

"Is it because you can't provide enough salary?"

"Money is not a problem for us! But the problem is that those guys want more!"

"I don't understand what it means! I thought everyone in this world likes money!"

"Yes! But the question is, are you taking 1 million at once, or do you see the possibility of monopolizing a multi-trillion dollar market?"

Sean looked at the people in front of him.

The other party also sighed helplessly.

Some things actually don’t need to be explained in too much detail.

But the guy in front of them is destined to be dealt with after the mission is completed, so in fact they don't care, they don't care, let this kind of little guy know more.

"Let me just say this, Sean! Anyway, you won't tell others. The way pharmaceutical companies deal with diabetes now is to make patients take medicine forever! Before the arrival of new technologies, everyone's treatment methods were actually the same. You don't Just stop taking the medicine! But then that research institute developed a new method, which only requires drilling a hole in your body, and then attaching a piece of stem cell material the size of a fingernail to the pancreas that has lost its function. , it is possible to cure diabetes!”

"Oh my God! You are asking me to deal with this kind of company!"

"No, this is not what other pharmaceutical companies are most jealous of! The global market for diabetes is trillions of dollars. Once their technology came out, all other companies felt the pressure, and everyone spent billions and hundreds of dollars. The drugs developed by billions have become obsolete almost instantly in the face of new technologies. It’s like one day when the Internet suddenly comes, will you still choose to send a telegram?”

"I said this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that they use the generative AI method to research some anti-cancer drugs! In this way, the research and development costs have been reduced by an unknown amount. It doesn't matter originally. I want to stop it. As long as they don't let them enter the clinical trial stage, as long as they wait long enough, other pharmaceutical companies can catch up, but that company also controls an Indian pharmaceutical listed company, and the reason why India is Being able to engage in generic drugs lies in their system of drug testers..."

Sean listened to all this calmly.

He used to be the security director of the Department of Homeland Security.

This kind of big thing involves the economic and political fields.

Surely he would understand.

He now finally understood who these people were.

“Who are you, Pfizer, Bayer or Novartis?”

"None of us! In fact, if it is these companies, we don't need to panic at all! Because no matter how they develop, we can get a share of it! The premise is that it must be a listed company!"

……

Sean now finally understood why these people took such extreme measures against a non-profit research organization.

The other party had no financial needs or concerns, so it did not go public.

And everyone involved in this project understands what kind of road is waiting for them in the future.

Once their research gained world recognition, they continued to launch various new drugs.

That means they are constantly creating the pharmaceutical industry, creating new Bayer Pfizer or Swiss Novartis one after another.

Who in this kind of magical team would choose to get off at this time?

No smart person would choose this!
