Xueba's Sea of ​​Stars

Chapter 251 Network Security
"Well, I know what's going on, but why did you hide it from your parents? It seems that they are in a hurry." Wu Bin asked a little puzzled.

"Oh, you don't know!" Pei Jiamin said, lowering her volume a little, "Don't look at my mother who is very strict with me, but she is actually a baby. If I tell her that I am under such a great psychological pressure, she will definitely be upset. Promised me to continue my medical studies."

Wu Bin: "Then you can't keep it a secret."

"I didn't intend to keep it a secret, I just wanted to exercise secretly until I could eat while watching those bloody movies." After finishing speaking, Pei Jiamin added: "I actually kept telling them that I was fine, but they refused to believe me .”

"Nonsense..." Wu Bin looked at Pei Jiamin and said, "When you first poked your head out, I almost didn't dare to recognize you. Your face was so thin and sunken."

Speaking of this, Wu Bin suddenly added, "You can't eat because of watching those bloody movies, right? Then your complexion gets worse and worse, and you get thinner and thinner?"

"It seems... that... probably." Pei Jiamin shrank back, "Yes."

Okay, case solved.

"Then why...forget it, don't ask too much." Wu Bin shook his head, "Then how effective is your special training with the devil?"

"Well... actually... it's still... quite effective...?"

"to be frank."

"Hmm..." Pei Jiamin pouted, "Actually, I closed my eyes when most of the bloody scenes popped up."

"Then you can't even eat the food you're scared of???"

"Because the plot is also terrible!" Pei Jiamin immediately expressed dissatisfaction.

"Okay, you won." Wu Bin patted his forehead, "Then when do you have to train until you are big?"

"I dare to see broken limbs now, and I should be able to adapt immediately."

"Wow, then you are awesome, I give you a thumbs up." Wu Bin gave Pei Jiamin a thumbs up as he spoke.

"Are you going to laugh at me?" After finishing speaking, Pei Jiamin picked up the pillow and threw it towards Wu Bin.

"Didn't I give you a thumbs-up? I didn't laugh at you." Wu Bin, who was catching the pillow with one hand, expressed his injustice.

"You are obviously just mocking me!"

"Okay, okay, my fault, but if you continue to practice like this, you're not good enough. Even if you can really watch bloody movies, it doesn't mean you can dissect corpses yourself, right?"

"I'm not taking it step by step." As he spoke, Pei Jiamin stretched out his hand towards Wu Bin, "Give me back the pillow."

"Here." Wu Bin stood up and handed the pillow to Pei Jiamin. When she caught it, Wu Bin suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about giving up studying medicine?"

"No." Pei Jiamin shook her head firmly, "I am willing to overcome fear for my ideals."

After hearing this, Wu Bin smiled slightly: "Okay, then I'll help you too."

"Huh...huh?" Pei Jiamin looked up at Wu Bin in surprise, "How can you help me?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, but it should be better than your current plan."

Although Pei Jiamin was a little unconvinced, but seeing Wu Bin's serious expression, she still compromised and said, "Don't scare me on purpose..."

"Don't worry, I'm not that bored."

After a moment of bewildered silence, Pei Jiamin suddenly said, "Then it's up to you to tell me how you hacked into my computer."

"Oh, fine." Wu Bin nodded, "Let me ask you a question first, do you think that there are various anti-virus software on the computer, which is particularly safe?"

"That's right..." Pei Jiamin recalled, "Besides the recent Bitcoin incident, what I remember most is the Panda Burning Incense that I heard about when I was a child, right?"

"Well, in fact, the author of the Panda Burning Incense virus has a strong purpose of showing off his technology. If he really wants to steal your things, why would he blatantly change all your file icons?"

"It makes sense..." Pei Jiamin nodded.

"So to be precise, a large-scale virus infection like Panda Burning Incense has never appeared again. Of course, the level of the producer is indeed very high. I heard that he was later recruited by Goose Farm."

"So, after the panda burned incense, there were other viruses?"

"Of course." Wu Bin nodded, "It's just that most of the Internet viruses that appeared later came with a threat of profit, targeting institutions and companies that are very valuable for extortion."

"Such as WannaCry, Petya, Bad Rabbit, etc. Although most ordinary people have never heard of them, the actual harm they cause is far greater than that of panda burning incense."

Hearing this, Pei Jiamin interrupted: "So you mean my computer is also poisoned?"

"Oh, no, I want to lead a story about hackers using the Microsoft system MS08-067 vulnerability to infect tens of millions of computers around the world, especially in my country, because the pirated version of XP was very popular at that time, and most pirated users wanted to To prevent being blacked out by Microsoft, the automatic update function of the system is turned off."

"As for virus infections, in most cases, the lower the version, the easier it is to get infected, so our country could be said to be the hardest hit area at that time."

"What happened next?" Pei Jiamin asked curiously.

"Later, this vulnerability gave rise to a virus called Gray Pigeon, which has a very powerful effect on forcing remote control of other people's computers, and I have also studied it a little bit, and improved it a little bit. If you want to learn, I can teach you .”

After hearing this, Pei Jiamin shook her head. She knew too well how big a pit Wu Bin's research represented, "Then can you also shuttle through various servers like those hackers in the movie?"

"It's possible in theory, but in fact, it's even difficult for me to check your QQ number now. If it wasn't for your QQ setting to automatically log in, I would really have to waste my brain."

"Why? Is it difficult to crack the password? I remember that QQ accounts were often hacked before?" Pei Jiamin was a little confused.

"You said it was in the past." Wu Bin said as he opened his notebook and dug out a few articles from the favorites and continued.

"When I was visiting the programming forum, some big guys told me that 11 years ago, newsstands still sold Chinese and secondary flavors such as "Hacker X-Files", "Ultimate Hacker" and "Non-Security Hacker Handbook". Big magazines, but they did help a generation of cybersecurity enthusiasts grow up."

"In order to increase sales, these magazines have even set up a special section to teach you how to steal QQ accounts, make phishing software and earn red diamonds. Red diamonds are such illegal businesses."

"What's wrong with that guy now?"

"Because Goose Farm is rich now. Among the group of hackers and account hackers back then, the top few were recruited, and the rest of the gangsters couldn't do them at all, so they naturally broke up."

"So now, it's easy to steal a wifi password, but if you want to steal a QQ password? Then you have to face the whole goose field, or to be precise, the few hackers in the goose field... oh no , they should now be called the strongest cybersecurity administrators."
