Chapter 72: Hacker’s Advanced Handbook
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
In the office.
Jintang Cyber Security Technical Director Fang Cheng had intended to issue an emergency notice about the hacker intrusion immediately, but when he saw the countdown interface on his computer screen ticking down from 321, he was stunned.
‘3’
‘2’
‘1’
The “God of Hackers” program executed, automatically opening a webpage and redirecting it to a domestic site.
On the webpage, a scene that was all too familiar to Fang Cheng appeared.
Sailing Novel Website!
With a blank face, Fang Cheng stared at the Sailing Novel Website’s page, squarely centered was an image of a cloaked figure in black, below which were the book’s details.
‘Title: Hacker Kingdom’
‘Author: Mr. Lin’
‘Genre: Urban Life’
‘…’
At that moment, the “God of Hackers” icon disappeared.
Fang Cheng regained control of his computer.
For safety’s sake, he immediately started a comprehensive check to see if his computer had lost any data or had any viruses or Trojan horses.
And he checked the Jintang firewall.
However, after several checks, everything was normal.
Fang Cheng wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand, his brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with confusion as he stared at the novel that had just popped up:
“This hacker managed to break through Jintang’s network firewall and implant a rogue program on my computer, which shows a high level of skill.”
“But did he do all this just to push a novel to me?”
“Hacker Kingdom, God of Hackers…”
A novel with a hacker theme was, for Fang Cheng, his professional domain.
He was known as the ‘No. 1 Hacker in the Web Novel Circle’.
That is, in the web novel community, he was the most awesome hacker, and in the hacker community, he was the most awesome writer.
Undoubtedly.
Fang Cheng first looked at the author: Mr. Lin.
He didn’t recognize him.
This wasn’t one of the authors he was familiar with on Sailing Novel.
He also hadn’t heard of Lin Chuan, even though Lin Chuan’s trending topics had been up on the Quick Shake video live streaming platform for a while.
Because he rarely watched Quick Shake videos, just as Lin Chuan rarely watched WB.
“What’s so special about this book that it’s worth pushing through such means?”
Fang Cheng muttered under his breath with a half-furrowed brow.
Driven by curiosity and suspicion, Fang Cheng gently scrolled the mouse wheel, and the main text of “Hacker Kingdom” slowly came into view on his screen.
‘I am a hacker.’
‘A person who lurks in the shadows, unseen.’
‘I have fought against countless top hackers from overseas, and they have all become my conquered foes without exception.’
‘In the virtual world of the internet, I am the absolute king!’
‘…’
Seeing this, Fang Cheng showed a touch of gravity on his face: “First person narrative, could this really be the autobiography of the God of Hackers?”
He wasn’t reading this hacker-themed novel with a ‘condescending critical attitude’.
Because the person who promoted it was able to easily infiltrate his computer and complete the page transition right under his nose.
Such hacking skills made Fang Cheng somewhat wary.
In the web novel circle.
The identities of authors are varied, including many big names from different circles.
The political circle, the tomb-robbing circle, the spy circle, and also the hacker circle.
A small part of these bigwigs would choose to record their lives in the form of novels, so some authors, as they wrote, ended up getting truly involved.
Therefore.
When the novel mentioned ‘In the virtual world of the internet, I am the absolute king,’ Fang Cheng didn’t sneer, but instead felt a sense of gravity and conviction.
This author, even if not the God of Hackers, could very well be a top-tier hacker.
He continued to read.
“X Company is a technology company, not very large in scale, but with a strong sense of protection.”
“I still remember to this day, that damn firewall, it actually blocked me for a full six hours.”
“Their firewall uses an integrated IPS generalized detection engine, a WISE semantic analysis engine, and a SAVE security intelligence engine, all three major intelligent security detection engines, to ensure its protective effectiveness.”
“Moreover, it is linked with SIP and XDR platforms, making the spread of attacks fully visible across the entire chain, with very precise detection granularity and a high level of protection.”
“This was my first time breaching a firewall.”
“At that time, I was sitting in front of the computer, eyes full of focus, my mind frantically thinking about how to breach it and steal information.”
“If it were the later me, I probably would need only ten minutes to accomplish the goal.”
“Because, such firewalls are not that complex.”
“…”
As Jintang Cyber Security Technical Director Fang Cheng read about Mr. Lin’s first intrusion into X Company, he couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
To Fang Cheng, X Company’s firewall already seemed quite robust in defending against cyber attacks.
But, nevertheless.
Mr. Lin had managed to breach it in just “six hours.”
If it were him, under circumstances without any interference, he would need at least a full day’s time.
“This is a professional hacker, a technical author, and even though he didn’t fully describe the key steps of the intrusion, I can already imagine his line of thought for the breach.”
“Truly impressive!”
Fang Cheng swallowed, leaning slightly forward to get a clearer view of the novel’s contents.
The methods of intrusion and cyber defense measures depicted in the novel showed Fang Cheng a higher direction for hackers to grow.
At this moment.
To Fang Cheng, “Hacker Kingdom” was not just a novel.
It was a ‘Hackers’ Advanced Manual’!
Yes, Fang Cheng intended to draw inspiration from Mr. Lin’s attack methods in “Hacker Kingdom” to improve the firewalls of Jintang Network Security Company.
It sounded far-fetched, but this was his professional habit.
Time slipped by, second by second.
Fang Cheng set aside many tasks and, after reporting to the general manager, he closed his office door and became completely immersed in “Hacker Kingdom.”
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
It was already noon, he hadn’t had lunch, and it wasn’t until dusk began to fall that he slowly returned to reality from the world of “Hacker Kingdom.”
Because, he was too hungry to bear it any longer.
Fang Cheng didn’t show any signs of discomfort from the acid in his stomach.
On the contrary, he was overjoyed, his whole being no longer weighed down with the heartache and indecision of early morning—instead, he seemed more spirited.
“I see, now!”
“I know how to improve the firewall!”
“This time, we can maximize the defense against foreign hacker attacks!”
Fang Cheng laughed heartily.
He stepped out of his office and ate some biscuits from the company break room. After reporting back to the general manager, he sent out an emergency notice for overtime work.
The technicians of Jintang Network Security Company were working overtime to optimize and upgrade the firewall!
Meanwhile.
At the behest of the general manager, Fang Cheng also made a call to Yu Shan, the captain of the Anling Cyber Security Detachment.
Jintang and the police were jointly resisting foreign cyberattacks. As Jintang’s firewall was undergoing optimization and upgrading, the Cyber Security Detachment needed to be notified.
Once the upgrade was successful, it would also set the minds of the Cyber Security Detachment at ease.
After staring at “Hacker Kingdom” for several hours, Fang Cheng felt as though he had been studying under a top-notch hacker for quite some time.
Fang Cheng believed the hacker who breached his own computer network hadn’t been wrong.
The true God of Hackers!
Therefore, he had high confidence in this optimization and upgrade.
