With the order of President Bush, the FBI would not dare to slack off. At 5:30 pm US time on that day, the hacker competition officially announced its end - it couldn't continue anyway, as there were no more hackers participating, and everyone had gone to cause trouble elsewhere.
The FBI immediately shut down the server and removed all storage devices from it, taking them to an unknown location for research.
The message from James indicated that the hacker, known as God, had managed to control 91 computers on the server through some means. Even though James possessed the core code of the server, he couldn't change the execution program of the server. This made the FBI think they had found a breakthrough. If they could crack the hacker's handiwork on the server, they would be able to gauge his hacking level. Although this might not lead them directly to him, at least they would gain some insight into his personal information.
As for the computer invaded by the North American Air Defense Command, due to the high level of confidentiality of this unit, even the FBI cannot directly ask them for the computer as evidence. However, James is extremely resentful of this hacker called "God". He immediately made a very detailed report of the incident and handed it over to the FBI. As for whether the FBI can get help from it, that depends on their own abilities.
The next morning, Professor Vincent had just arrived at the office when he saw a person in his own office. The arrival of this person made him extremely surprised. The first thought that came to Vincent's mind was: I don't think I've done anything wrong? Why did the FBI find me here?
The man saw Professor Vincent's somewhat stunned expression, and smiled as he extended his hand: "Professor Vincent, I'm Edward, head of the FBI's Information Security Division. We've met before; sorry to disturb you, but I think we need your help."
Professor Vincent finally understood and smiled, extending his hand to shake Edward's lightly before saying: "Lord Edward, how may I be of assistance?"
Edward smiled slightly and said: "Please arrange your work at hand, we will take you to a place, when you arrive there, you will know."
Forty minutes later, Professor Vincent arrived at the Seattle Computer Research Center in Washington with Edward by helicopter. This is a research and development center established by the US government. It is said that the United States is developing an intelligent system here. After Professor Vincent followed Edward into the underground room of the center, he saw several familiar faces, such as Professor Voigt from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's computer department, Professor Sola from Harvard University's computer department, and Lewis, a senior engineer at IBM.
There were two others that Professor Wensen did not know, and it was through Edward's introduction that he learned their identities. One of them was Rumen, a security expert from Intel Corporation, and the other was Josh, a senior engineer at Microsoft Corporation. Faced with such a strong lineup, Professor Wensen's shock is self-evident. He couldn't understand why the FBI had gathered these people together - could it be because of the massive hacker riot that occurred on the Internet yesterday?
The matter is still fermenting, and the hacker has not stopped attacking. Professor Vincent was busy until after 1 am before going home to rest, so he arrived at the US Network Information Security Center early this morning with two panda eyes, so he remembers this thing vividly.
As expected, Edward's next words confirmed Professor Vincent's idea. He stood in front of several people, put away his smile and said: "Everyone is a top expert in computer technology, the FBI has gathered everyone here to get your help - I suppose everyone already knows what happened on the internet, hackers are still continuously attacking major websites, those people will be handled by my other colleagues, our team only has one purpose, which is to find the hacker with the code name 'God'."
Edward said, scanning the room, then pointing to a corner: "You've all seen the stack of computer storage disks over there? Those were removed from a server's matrix. We also have a report for you to look at first, and then examine the disks. We won't interfere with your work, and if you need anything, we'll provide it. Ladies and gentlemen, this is now in your hands. Some of you helped us catch Kevin Mitnick; hopefully, you can help us catch this guy they call 'God'."
Edward finished speaking and walked out of the room. After the door closed, the few people inside looked at each other and smiled. Having heard Edward's words, they all felt that the FBI was making a big deal out of nothing. What kind of person could make our elite team take action? If it were Kevin Mitnick again, that would be about right!
Professor Vincenzo knew some of the people in here because they had once gathered together to catch Kevin Mitnick, but he didn't expect this hacker nicknamed "God" was so powerful that the FBI added two top computer experts to the original team. He couldn't believe it, was there really someone stronger than Kevin in the hacking world?
There were three other people in the team who had the same idea as Professor Vincent. After a few of them laughed, they picked up the report on the table and started reading it from the beginning with a casual attitude, but soon everyone was exclaiming "My God!" one after another. Everyone in the room realized that this person called God... was really God! Just look at what he's done!
Got the server password through associative exclusion method!
Modify the server program so that even the military with core code cannot regain control of the server!
It can re-intrude through network signal transmission devices after being disconnected from the internet!
Even invasions can be completed through telephone lines!
Can it still be invaded by controlling voltage????
What... what kind of organization... or individual are we facing?! If this is the work of a super hacker group, that's still acceptable. But if it's the work of an individual... God! He can really be called God!
After a while, Professor Vincent spoke up first: "Do you think this 'God' is an organization or a person?"
Professor Wokette: "It should be an organization...?"
Professor Sora: "Yes, who could have been so comprehensive... and done something so unbelievable...?"
Senior Engineer Lewis: "Uh... it should be like this..."
Security expert Rumen: "What if it was done by an individual...?"
Senior Engineer Jos: "That... is just too terrifying..."
It's not hard to see from the strange conversations of a few people that Feng Xiao Tian has deeply shocked this elite team. If they knew it was done by one person, what would they think?
