Zhao Yi thought.
As a top-notch hacker, one must have the highest level of network security awareness.
After realizing that sothing was off, he imdiately closed the Penguin Number he was logged into, found the installation folder of Penguin, and deleted the folder containing the login records of the Penguin Number.
Moreover.
In the routing listening feedback file, he also deleted all the Penguin Numbers and passwords.
Done!
"So, I didn’t do anything, and even if soone suspects, they can’t find any evidence."
"From now on, selective forgetfulness!"
Zhao Yi started to seriously look at the listening feedback file. The content of the file was ssy and mostly undecipherable garbled text. He could only read it line by line, extracting information that looked like ’ID and password.’
After looking through everything, seeing a dozen IDs and password data in the docunt, he didn’t imdiately try to log in. Instead, he modified the source code of the router’s listening feature.
He must add sothing!
The content of the listening feedback file was too complex. It was ti-consuming to read it line by line with the naked eye, and important information might be missed. So he simply added an output program to group the monitored content.
Web links were grouped together.
All login IDs and passwords were set as a group; feedback on respective websites and software was also noted.
The rest of the ssy information and garbled text were placed into a group.
That should do for now.
Zhao Yi ran a debugging test, and after finding no problems, he opened the police departnt’s website’s admin page and tried to log in using the monitored IDs and passwords.
After trying more than a dozen tis, he finally logged in.
Zhao Yi was a little excited. After entering the managent page, looking at the layout and fixed images that were even worse than the website he had designed, he couldn’t help but complain.
Lin Xudong talked about ’funds allocated for network security’, but couldn’t they have used a little bit of that for website developnt? Even hiring a professional website designer or artist for a few days could make the website significantly better.
Of course.
Zhao Yi could understand, though. The police departnt’s website information can’t be modified casually. A lot of news and information releases need to be carefully reviewed, and there might be confidential information involved, so it must be managed by internal staff.
It was quite difficult to find soone skilled in website design and maintenance in the police departnt, especially when the internet had just started to beco popular in the country.
Now that he had infiltrated the website, what should he do?
Zhao Yi suddenly rembered that Lin Xudong had given him a piece of paper with information related to himself. He hurriedly took out the paper and scanned it.
Na: Zhao Yi.
ID number:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Recomnder: Zhengyang City Public Security Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Detachnt Captain Lin Xudong.
Codena: Eagle.
"Eagle?"
"This codena is not bad!"
Zhao Yi pondered for a mont and nodded in satisfaction, "Like a soaring eagle in the sky."
He knew what to do.
He found a picture of a soaring eagle online, made a simple Flash animation, and wrote the two characters ’Eagle’ on the top layer. He placed it on the news banner of the website’s hopage and set a password for modifying the authority.
Embedded the link.
Put so...music on the link?
Zhao Yi searched for so music, and after listening to several songs, nothing sounded interesting. As he listened to a dance track, he suddenly thought of a divine song from more than ten years later.
"Why not sing a few lines!"
"That would be unique!"
He simply found a recording software and recorded a few lines of the dance track -
The flower in my heart, I want to take you ho,
In that midnight bar, who cares if it’s real or fake.
Please sway to your heart’s content, forget the one you fancy,
You’re the most charming, do you know?
...
Co to the left and draw a dragon with
On your right, draw a rainbow (let’s go)
Co to the left and draw a rainbow with
On your right, draw another dragon (don’t stop)
...
He really got into singing!
Zhao Yi discovered that his voice was much better than it would be more than ten years later. His young and slightly immature tone didn’t sound like an old man, but rather, it carried a youthful color.
He sang the whole song!
He forgot so lyrics, and humd along with the lody, adding in the word ’Eagle.’
Opened the webpage.
Uploaded the recorded audio and attached a picture of a late-night bar DJ.
OK!
That’s it!
Zhao Yi closed the webpage in a good mood and continued to focus on writing his thesis.
Thesis.
Finish it quickly, end it all!
...
anwhile.
Xudong Lin returned ho, baffled. Under ordinary circumstances, he would be working the night shift and would have no choice but to sleep in the bureau. However, his wife had beco inexplicably angry, and he had to go back, soothe her and argue, or else she’d cause a scene. So he had to explain to his colleagues that he had to go ho first.
Once he arrived ho, a storm awaited him.
"Xudong Lin, you heartless man! Tell what’s going on! Who were you chatting with, so beautiful woman?!"
Lin Xudong retorted in frustration, "What are you talking about?!"
"What? What am I talking about? I have evidence. Qingqing, show your father the Penguin ssage; he won’t even admit to his own words!"
Lin Xudong took a look and was dumbfounded. He racked his brain and suddenly realized, "I was wondering why my Penguin account suddenly went offline; it must have been hacked!"
"Hacked? What a la excuse! You logged in at work, and soone still managed to infiltrate your workplace and steal your account? Did they target you specifically? And just happened to reply to imdiately? Think about it, is that even possible?"
Zhao Hongjuan had a point.
Listening to her, Lin Xudong felt it was impossible, but he definitely didn’t send that ssage.
Such injustice!
What followed was a verbal war between husband and wife.
Won are unreasonable.
Ever since, Zhao Hongjuan hadn’t trusted Xudong Lin. He was a forty-sothing-year-old man, fairly good-looking and a handso detective chief, he would inevitably face many temptations. Maybe so young girl would secretly develop feelings for him and sothing might happen.
She was also venting her frustrations now.
At first, Xudong Lin tried to explain himself, but in the end, he could only bow his head in submission as he helplessly listened.
That’s just how n are.
It reminded him of an online joke, "I wanted to write an apology letter to my wife, but after staring at the blank paper for half a day, I could only write three words: ’I am wrong,’ because I don’t know what I did wrong."
Xudong Lin didn’t know what to do.
Then the phone rang.
Zhao Hongjuan knew what was important and didn’t disturb Lin Xudong while he answered the call.
He picked up the phone, and a strange lody ca from the other end, "Co, follow and draw a dragon on your left, on your right, draw a rainbow..."
"What?!"
"Xiao Zhang?"
Xudong Lin forcefully reminded him once, and the other side finally spoke, excitedly saying, "Director Lin, the police website was hacked! It’s that Eagle you recomnded, he’s really amazing!"
"Eagle?"
"Yes!"
Xiao Zhang gloated, "Director Li said he found several computer geniuses, but what happened? None of them were useful. Director Lin, you found one that’s equal to several of their geniuses!"
"By the way, Eagle is really interesting. He sings very well. Do you know what song this is? I searched for it online and couldn’t find it..."
Xudong Lin put the phone down, feeling elated.
There’s competition across all sectors of police work. Solving cris and conducting investigations is one aspect; other tasks are also competitive. The higher-ups have always placed great importance on the website and Internet security, but it’s almost impossible for the police to produce dedicated professionals.
The competition to secure the website is now in progress. Whover finds a ’trustworthy person’ capable of a particular level of work will be directly competing. The higher-ups will certainly care about who managed to break into the website.
At that ti, they would ntion, "This person was recomnded by Director Lin."
That’s also a skill.
Xudong Lin’s good mood lasted for about ten seconds until it was ti to face the storm once again.
...
In Zhengyang City, the police website was managed by Li Jiandong from the logistics departnt. He had a bachelor’s degree in computer science, and after graduating, he didn’t look for a job but instead went to a police school and joined the public security departnt.
When the police website was established, the logistics departnt was directly approached, leaving Li Jiandong in charge of managing and maintaining the site.
So ti ago, the police website was attacked by hackers.
The higher-ups wanted to improve network security, so they found computer experts to try to attack the site and find vulnerabilities.
This was a test of the security of the website, as well as a test of Li Jiandong’s work.
Li Jiandong didn’t take it too seriously.
Although he wasn’t a professional in network security and only managed and maintained the website, he knew so hacking techniques. The previous attack caused the site’s server to crash for a while.
With such aggressive attacks, server performance was the issue, and there was nothing he could do about it. All he could do was upgrade the hardware performance. But even if they were attacked, it wouldn’t cause too much damage.
At most, they would have to restart the server.
This was proof that the website was secure and that computer experts wouldn’t be able to break in.
That night.
Before going to bed, Li Jiandong followed his routine of checking the website and suddenly found it impossible to sleep. The main page image of the leader’s inspection had been tampered with, replaced with a flash animation of an eagle in flight.
"Eagle?"
Li Jiandong clicked on the image, revealing a link.
A strange, unaccompanied song played, and the more Li Jiandong listened, the more annoyed he beca. The modified webpage ant it was hacked. Wasn’t this a direct mockery of his work?
Li Jiandong hurriedly logged in to the managent page, wanting to change the webpage back. But once he clicked it, he found he couldn’t make any changes.
He needed permission?
He needed a password?
Li Jiandong was frustrated to find that he couldn’t make any temporary changes; he would have to go to the departnt’s computer and find the source code to delete and modify it.
According to the usual process, once soone broke through the website, they would submit security vulnerabilities and patch them up to improve security.
Li Jiandong didn’t want to do this.
If the other party reported the security vulnerability, the higher-ups would definitely know, drawing a big ’X’ on his work, and both he and the logistics departnt would lose face.
Li Jiandong thought about it and decided not to submit. He would arrive at the office early the next day and modify the source code on the computer.
He now knew where the problem was –
The other party must have entered the managent page, making all these modifications, even embedding links in the animation as if designing a website.
So... change the password!
As long as he set a complicated managent password, the other party wouldn’t be able to crack it so easily.
