Chapter 11: Underestimated
"Looks like it's time to think of something else. ”
Xiao Yang muttered to himself, staring at the discussion in the hacker forum.
Suddenly, Xiao Yang was attracted by a newly released post, and after reading it for a while, Xiao Yang couldn't help but pat his head, licked his lips and said with excitement on his face:
"yes, how did I forget the bug bounty platform?"
The post that Xiao Yang saw was a report reprinted from foreign media, which showed that the famous Storm Blood Company in the game industry issued a recruitment order, which was mainly aimed at the BUG collection of its "World of Warcraft", and the recruitment target was players of "World of Warcraft" around the world.
This post was posted on the hacking forum and did not attract too many people's attention, after all, they are mainly aimed at Warcraft players, and the reward cash is not much, but more of some virtual items in the game.
But Xiao Yang, who returned from rebirth, saw things that many people hadn't noticed.
The right direction for hackers!
Hackers, from beginning to end are the existence of people who have heard of it, they use all kinds of bugs to carry out illegal intrusions, wanton destruction and wealth, several large-scale virus incidents in history, so that the name hacker is gradually well-known, and the word hacker has become synonymous with cybercriminals.
But Xiao Yang knew that a few years later, this pattern would change.
A platform called Hacker One was born, and they are also the most well-known bug bounty platform in the future!
Hacker One serves large enterprises or organizations, and before Xiaoyang was reborn, more than half of the world's top 500 companies were Hacker One customers.
The way Hacker One works is simple, all hackers can register on the HackerOne platform, and they will be listed as mercenaries. COMPANIES APPEAR AS EMPLOYERS, AND THEY ISSUE BOUNTIES TO SEEK HELP FROM HACKERS WITH MONEY, SO THAT HACKERS CAN HELP THEIR COMPANIES IMPROVE THEIR NETWORK SYSTEMS, FIND POTENTIAL BUGS, AND SETTLE COMMISSIONS BASED ON BUG LEVELS.
The emergence of this platform has made hackers less disgusted. Hackers can also improve their strength through this platform, and at the same time, they can earn income legally.
"If I'm right as I remember, Hacker One came out, it should have been at least five years later. ”
Xiao Yang's eyes are extremely bright!
Nowadays, all companies and enterprises are using self-inspection to carry out product testing and system repair, and even some companies are soliciting bugs from their own customers, which is the most direct way to find bugs today. But in fact, this method may have some effect, but the product customers cannot all be master hackers, and some unknown bugs still exist and no one notices.
In fact, most of the several serious hacking incidents in history are these unknown bugs
Being attacked as a springboard.
"Hacker One is an opportunity. ”
Xiao Yang wrote down this idea in the computer file, and when he returned from rebirth, he would record many things that suddenly remembered in it for future implementation. Looking at the post again, Xiao Yang moved his fingers, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly:
"Before that, maybe I should make a sign for this platform!"
World of Warcraft, before Xiao Yang crossed, the name of this game resounded almost throughout the universe. Even more than a decade after its release, this game has still won the top three most profitable games on PC with its remastered version.
Now, World of Warcraft has only been released in China for more than a year, but with its unique poetic gameplay and excellent production, this game has successfully attracted the attention of players around the world, and a large number of players continue to pour into this new game world, and finally are completely attracted by this huge worldview game.
Today's World of Warcraft is not the world's most profitable game, but it is definitely the game with the most die-hard players.
And the reason why it can maintain such viscosity, in addition to the game itself is good enough, the maintenance of the game by the Stormblood Company is also an important bonus.
At this time, the program detection department of the Storm Blood Company, a large number of emails from all over the world gathered here.
This is the benefit of collecting bugs for players, in addition to letting players know the dedication of the game company, it can also save a lot of energy for self-examination.
The busy office has become much more relaxed, and the technicians are talking to each other while reviewing the massive emails in the mailbox:
"Haha, that's a great idea, we saved a lot of trouble.
"But a lot of emails are spam, and I even saw one who suggested that we turn off the point card charging mode, is this guy crazy?"
"Haha, I have it here, and I even said that our character modeling is too ugly. ”
"I think they should go to the art problem, because it's not a bug. ”
"Although there is a lot of spam, many of them are very useful. ”
They are indeed relaxed, and as soon as the call was issued, players around the world set off a wave of bug hunting, and although their work turned from a boring email reading to a boring email search, each email can bring them a lot of fun.
Just look at the mail and make money, it's definitely a perfect job.
At this moment, a staff member suddenly shouted: "Is this Dragon Kingdom player crazy?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but lean over.
What appeared in front of me was an email, but the difference was that the content of this email was:
[The new version of Zur Grab has a serious fatal BUG, the leader of the dungeon "Haka One by One Soul Depriver", will become the biggest culprit, this BUG cannot be repaired by your company, if necessary, I can repair it for a fee, please contact through the following ways...]
"Is this guy crazy?"
"Did he know that our work was too boring, so he sent emails like this to make us laugh at us?"
"We have been testing Zurgrab countless times, how can there be any serious bugs, and even if there are bugs, how can we not fix them?"
"In the Dragon Kingdom, this method is called alarmism. ”
"It's ridiculous!"
For this email, no one took it to heart.
As they say, they have carried out countless tests for this new version of the dungeon, and all bugs have been eliminated for a long time. Even if there is a real BUG, it is definitely a small BUG that has not been discovered, how can it be so serious?
What's more, even if there are bugs, they can't be unfixable!
Who does this email look down on?
But in a moment, the email that everyone regarded as a joke was completely thrown into the garbage list, and no one cared, especially for the contact information in this email, which made everyone feel scorned.
Friday afternoons on weekends, at the school gate.
After saying goodbye to his classmates who had a good relationship, Xiao Yang put on his backpack and left the school gate, but he did not go home, but chose to go to the best Internet café in Lin'an.
Xiao Yang's home is in a rural village in Ninghai, and it takes a two-hour bus ride to get home. His parents are ordinary workers, his mother works in a textile factory and usually lives in the dormitory in the factory, and his father is a carpenter on the construction site who follows the construction site around, and Xiao Yang has no one at home even if he goes back.
Nowadays, Internet cafes are a popular industry with rapid development, and the profits that can be earned every year are even more unimaginable, even if it is a small county, it is often hundreds of thousands of profits, not to mention urban areas like Ninghai.
Nowadays, with the popularization of computers, there are more and more words about Internet cafes becoming a sunset industry, but Xiao Yang knows very well that the Internet café industry can be popular for at least ten years. Especially with the standardized operation, this industry, which people say will become a sunset industry, can still earn countless wealth.
Entering the Internet café, Xiao Yang opened a private room, turned on the computer and looked at it for a while, Xiao Yang shook his head slightly: "Sure enough, you think I'm alarmist?"
This result is not unexpected, in fact, Xiao Yang guessed it before, after all, the BUG he was talking about now seems to be just insignificant, only when the horror of the BUG is revealed, this matter has become the deadliest BUG in the history of the bloody game.
According to history, this bug should have broken out in the near future, but Xiao Yang has limited time on the weekend, so he doesn't plan to wait for the bug to ferment naturally.
He's going to dominate the world events this time!
