Cyber Heroes

In 2030, Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Zhu Xinyu leaned on a chair in the hotel. There is a computer in front of her. This computer is connected to the hotel's wireless network. The hotel uses general routers and servers. Zhu Xinyu found the back door of this system easily. These are all vulnerabilities that have been announced, but not every user has to update the patch in time.

The screen is an unfamiliar interface. That is the analysis software written by Zhu Xinyu himself. The interface is quite primordial.

And Zhu Xinyu looked at the ceiling.

Her grades are "ordinary outstanding". She has maintained this impression. At the same time, in the eyes of the "guardian", she also behaved more and more rebellious, often running out to play like this. In the eyes of her father and the woman, this is a sign that the girl has begun to rebel. They still don't know how many corporate secrets their daughter has stolen.

They just think that this girl likes to travel very much and goes abroad if she doesn't agree with her.

Zhu Xinyu did this for a reason.

Every time she wants to steal the technical secrets of large companies, she will find an excuse to travel.

It is best to go abroad.

This is very helpful to cover up your real IP, and even has a certain interference effect on social engineering methods-although not strong, it is better than nothing.

The places Zhu Xinyu likes to use most are Southeast Asian countries. It is adjacent to the developed areas of East Asia, and the network is in good condition, but it does not have a strong police force. The second is the Russian Federation. The xenophobic power of this decadent power can be used by her to cover herself.

Of course, the best place in theory is the war quagmire that the United Nations has nothing to do with-such as Iran, Yemen, Somalia. Even if it is accidentally touched by someone, there is not much danger.

However, entering these places is inherently dangerous. Of course, Zhu Xinyu’s pocket money is not enough to hire mercenaries. And she wouldn't ask for this money, because the incident of "inviting a mercenary" itself will leave a record and it is easy to be locked in by social engineering methods.

The reason why Zhu Xinyu is so careful is because she is trying to dig the roots of big capital.

After parting ways with the Master "Star Monarch", Zhu Xinyu put out her heroic challenge by herself.

She is already stronger than Master. Therefore, she can get the honorable name of "God of Fire" alone.

"Zhu Rong", a network guerrilla who specializes in stealing corporate technology secrets and making them public, was born in the world of the World Wide Web.

Zhu Xinyu’s first target was his father’s company.

It is a small reputation security company, and it has also acquired an online medical mutual assistance APP in operation. This company even contracted the provincial government's network security affairs.

Zhu Xinyu disclosed the source code of all security products of this company and put it on the Internet.

But...

What Zhu Xinyu was looking forward to very much did not happen. Her father did not go bankrupt, and even the family did not become a little poorer.

First of all, the debt of a limited liability company itself does not involve the owner.

Secondly, most security companies do not actually win with technology.

Except for the core products of one or two cybersecurity companies that truly master the technology, most of the products of cybersecurity companies are re-skinned products.

Source code leakage is also a "nothing at worst" problem.

If Zhu Xinyu father’s company is a listed company, might the stock price plummet?

But Zhu Xinyu father’s company did not go public.

So, apart from father being scolded on the board, the impact was minimal.

It can even continue to contract the network security business of local enterprises and governments.

For enterprise users, a network security company can also act as a security consultant and technical support. This thing does not depreciate because the source code is open.

Father Zhu Xinyu was depressed for a while. He felt that the security software system he created was insulted.

I wish Xinyu very disappointed with this result.

But she is also aware of this problem.

Many companies actually do not have core "technology". They survive by selling low-tech "services."

If you want to change the world, perhaps you should start from a more core place.

A larger enterprise. Companies that control technology and use intellectual property to block human progress.

Those larger capitals are the core of "evil". They are the core power components in the machines that plunder humans.

Zhu Xinyu started to target these guys.

Of course, this is difficult.

Zhu Xinyu is just an individual. A few days ago, she found some like-minded people—extreme Internet guerrillas of the open access movement, but they were only a few. It is difficult for her to use social engineering methods to steal technical information.

With purely computer technology, there will always be some physically isolated information that cannot be stolen.

Of course, Zhu Xinyu also has a set of methods.

No technology comes out of thin air. It must be researched by scholar. And the enterprise impossible to include each step of the scholar research in a physically isolated place. Some data will always be taken away.

Zhu Xinyu will look at the list of companies’ cooperation, then look for those companies’ scholars, and lock these scholars, and even these scholar’s ​​other partners, to pull out as much information as possible from all aspects.

Not just a result. Trial and wrong data, discarded ideas, she wants everything.

Occasionally, she can also get "something that is still a few steps away from the result" and "data whose confidentiality level has decreased slightly due to the passage of time".

With the passage of time, she has also learned to write "a virus that can identify files that may be technical data and automatically package and send them."

This is Zhu Xinyu’s proud work. As long as the virus inadvertently invades a place that could not be invaded, the "packaging" may be completed automatically when no one notices it. After that, the packaged data can also be hidden in other people's computers, waiting for the next transmission.

Zhu Xinyu "visited" various high-tech companies most often, especially electronic information technology.

She has always wanted to try to conquer some pharmaceutical companies. But after all, pharmaceutical companies want to sell products. They are more inclined to "master the patent" than "master the technology." So even if Zhu Xinyu stole some of the technological processes, he couldn't let people use it by himself.

At this moment, "Zhu Rong" has been experienced.

But...

—has the world changed because of this...

Zhu Xinyu looked at the ceiling of the room.

Perhaps because it is the rainy season in Thailand now. The continuous rain made Zhu Xinyu's mood gloomy for no reason.

She began to think about the past.

Does this by yourself change the world?

Is it a feasible way to create "prestige" like Master does?

Thinking about this, I wish Xinyu shook the head and try to get rid of this idea.

——The truth of the Master is actually not very clear. I want to find a way out by myself...

——I will definitely be more...

At this time, a chat software issued a beep.

This is a chat software written by Zhu Xinyu, with only the simplest features. It has no other advantages, that is, "concealment" and "secrecy."

The client of this software, Zhu Xinyu only passed to a few people.

Those people are all Internet "guerrillas" of the extreme faction of the "Open Access Movement". Some of them are hackers, while others are scholars and intellectuals who make various appeals on the Internet. Some of these people have connections with social activists in reality.

They are Zhu Xinyu’s "friends."

It’s just that Zhu Xinyu has always carried out activities in the form of "hackers". She only contacted a handful of people.

I wish Xinyu remember that this person is also a scholar.

Ichigo: [Zhu Rong, where did you get this data? It's amazing. It is amazing. 】

I wish Xinyu thought about it. The data automatically sent back by her previous batch of viruses did contain a biological data. From the content point of view, it should be molecular biology or biochemistry. Although Zhu Xinyu has stolen a lot of things, in the non-professional field, she is not much better than the average high school student.

Zhu Rong: [From the numbering point of view, it should be obtained from that translation software company. ]

Ichigo: [Are you kidding me? ]

Zhu Rong: [? ]

Ichigo: [This may involve proteomics, genetics,...Oh my God, I can’t describe it, but it doesn’t involve cognitive science. It is absolutely impossible to appear on the server of a translation software company. ]

Zhu Rong: [Really? It may be accidental injury. 】

Using the cooperating scholar as a springboard, the virus secretly spread to other scholars, and then sent back information that was not the target.

Many scholars have interdisciplinary projects. When a virus jumps from scholar A to scholar B of different professions, it is likely that it only needs to go through one or two transits.

Zhu Xinyu’s virus has strict self-destruction conditions. The virus she wrote will destroy itself after one attack. At the same time, the virus released in a batch, as well as its replicas, will delete themselves after the system time reaches a predetermined point-regardless of whether it has occurred or not.

Although there are many accidental injuries, they are not many, and they are rarely found.

At this time, Zhu Xinyu is about to face two choices.

If the “injured” scholar is also a lackey of the capitalist and will contribute to the intellectual property rights of the capitalist, then Zhu Xinyu will disclose this data without the slightest hesitation.

But if it is not, Zhu Xinyu will consider it as appropriate.

At this time, she needs a professional appraisal.

The guy whose ID is Ichigo is her assistant.

Zhu Rong: [Tell me the result directly. What is this scholar's research? Is there a need for disclosure? ]

Ichigo: [I don’t know...I can’t tell. This is too rare. I searched all published papers. do you know? Only one person on Earth is working on this right now. She can definitely win the Nobel Prize.

Ichigo: [Oh my God, this is so amazing. 】

I wish Xinyu frowned.

Zhu Rong: [So what is this?

Ichigo: [Research on the enzyme system of hot spring archaea. Only Ms. Niyaguti Enderbil is studying it. ]

[Do you know Ms. Enderbiler? 】
