Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Panda Burning Incense
“Boss, we’re not Red Hackers!”
The crew-cut youth stared at Lin Chuan with a puzzled expression, wondering what was going on with the boss today, who kept mentioning ‘Pure Desire Occupation’ and then talking about a ‘Red Hacker strike’.
“Not Red Hackers?”
Lin Chuan was also taken aback, frowning as he looked at the crew-cut youth.
The crew-cut youth nodded: “We are Hackers, yeah.”
Hackers?
Hackers belong to a category of Hacker.
But Hackers are very extreme. These people use their technical skills to find and exploit security vulnerabilities, illegally invade systems, steal data, cause damage, or perform other malicious activities to achieve their goals.
Lin Chuan’s eyes narrowed, and he was alarmed as he hastened to ask, “What’s this about foreign forces you just mentioned?”
The crew-cut youth explained: “Boss, have you forgotten? Last month we made twenty million from a company, so they hired someone to target us now.”
Hearing this, Lin Chuan’s facial muscles couldn’t help but twitch violently.
It’s over!
He still couldn’t escape the fate of the Pure Desire Occupation!
Damn system leading me astray!
“Boss, is there a problem?” The crew-cut youth saw that Lin Chuan’s face looked off and tentatively asked a question.
“Twenty million, money comes so easily, eh!”
Lin Chuan took a deep breath and sighed.
He didn’t have a strong concept of ‘twenty million US Dollars’, only that it was a lot; hence, he couldn’t help but think of his own struggling years, painstakingly writing books, barely making a couple of thousand a month including full attendance.
If he could really make ‘twenty million’ just once, wouldn’t he be able to retire on the spot?
From then on, luxury cars, beautiful women, living without worries.
Hiss!
Suddenly, a cold breeze blew in from the window, hitting Lin Chuan’s face, the chill seeping into his pores, bone-chillingly cold, instantly pulling Lin Chuan back from his fantasies.
Lin Chuan shivered, murmuring to himself, “Too dangerous!”
If he really did something like that in reality, it would be way too criminal!
Such occupations, like those of swindlers and Assassins, always walked a tightrope; a slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin.
If you always walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?
Thinking it over, Lin Chuan immediately patted the crew-cut youth on the shoulder and asked, “Our identities haven’t been compromised, have they?”
The crew-cut youth nodded gravely, stating, “Of course not.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan cracked a smile and immediately made a decision, “Alright, from now on, we’re changing professions!”
“Changing professions?”
The crew-cut youth looked puzzled, frowning as he asked.
“Right!” Lin Chuan nodded solemnly.
This occupation was definitely not sustainable.
“So what can we do now?”
Lin Chuan said solemnly, “We’ll become Red Hackers.”
“Red Hackers? That’s not much better than what we do now,” the crew-cut youth didn’t understand why Lin Chuan wanted to change professions.
But Lin Chuan just smiled and said, “Don’t just look at the small change in front of you. By switching to being Red Hackers, do you understand the value of ‘it’s good to have the support of a big tree’?”
Red Hackers can also make money.
Although not as fast as Hackers, the advantage is sustainable development and legitimate income, without living in constant fear.
Moreover.
The system would generate novels based on his experiences from his ‘Hacker Professional Life’.
“Anyway, I don’t know much; I’ll just follow what the boss says!” The crew-cut youth scratched the back of his head, “What about that DDoS attack then, how are we handling it?”
“Leave that to me.”
Lin Chuan pondered for a moment, continuously constructing solutions in his mind.
A battle without smoke began under Lin Chuan’s command.
The opposing Hackers were using DDoS attacks, that is, Distributed Denial of Service attacks, which overloaded Lin Chuan’s servers and rendered them inoperable.
But their real intention was to steal Lin Chuan’s secrets and carry out retaliatory strikes.
Conventional methods of response, such as adding firewalls and installing intrusion detection tools, are all about being on the defensive.
But Lin Chuan needed to strike back!
He had an idea!
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Chuan’s mind; he now had a strategy for retaliation.
At this moment, Lin Chuan, top-tier among hackers, was rapidly typing on the keyboard with ten fingers, like a pianist playing a masterful concerto.
A series of codes scrolled across the screen, forming a program.
Finally, Lin Chuan’s index finger pressed the ‘Enter key’.
Done!
“Boss, what’s this?”
The crew-cut youth couldn’t quite understand the program Lin Chuan had created.
Lin Chuan smiled, “I’ve named it ‘Panda Burning Incense’.”
“Panda Burning Incense?”
At this point, the crew-cut youth had no idea how formidable this program was.
Lin Chuan didn’t explain further and immediately began tracking the main IP addresses that had launched the DDoS attack against him.
Then he broke into their systems and ‘painted’ Panda Burning Incense on their computer screens.
At the other end of the network.
A computer screen suddenly displayed a cartoon image of a black-and-white panda holding three sticks of incense, looking quite adorable.
But before the owner of the computer could react,
exe, com, pif, src, html, and asp files within his computer system were rapidly infected and corrupted.
All the executable exe program icons turned into the appearance of ‘a panda holding three sticks of incense’.
Then, a blue screen, reboot.
A computer was instantly paralyzed, rendered useless.
Not only that, but the Panda Burning Incense program spread rapidly and automatically and had infected dozens of computers in a short amount of time, continually spreading.
Lin Chuan seized the opportunity to steal relevant information, as well as real-time screenshots.
The crew-cut youth’s eyes widened in astonishment at how quickly Lin Chuan had created such a powerful and infectious program.
“Track the IP addresses quickly, and begin the operation.”
Lin Chuan’s eyes were deep; after the successful test, he immediately issued the command.
DDoS attacks involve controlling a large number of computers to launch an attack; they are low-cost and fast-acting.
But Lin Chuan’s program targeted the computers launching the attack, causing a large number of them to become paralyzed in a short period.
Without a doubt,
Lin Chuan had won a complete victory!
“Is this the power of a top-level hacker?”
Lin Chuan’s lips curled upward, unable to suppress the smile on his face, resolving to fully experience this life and take his skills back to reality!
When the time comes, his life is set to take off!
In the virtual world, his hacker professional life continued.
Back in reality.
Rain continued to tap against the window ceaselessly, and a cool evening breeze, carrying a fresh scent, blew into the rental room.
It was about two o’clock in the morning.
The professional life experience ended, and the system’s voice arrived as expected.
[Host, congratulations.]
[‘Hacker Professional Life’ experience completed.]
[You have acquired the ability: Top-Level Hacker Technique.]
Lin Chuan grinned widely, his face alight with joy.
The memories of his ‘Hacker Professional Life’ experience played through his mind, scene by scene like a movie plot.
Additionally, he had gained a special skill!
Top-Level Hacker Technique!
