Chapter 1638: A Wise Decision
"Mysterious and secretive!" Lisa glanced at Qin Feng suspiciously, "Don't mess around, the United States is a society ruled by law, if you mess around, you will be targeted by the police!"
Apparently, Lisa was suspicious of something.
"It's okay, don't you worry about me! I'm so smart, how can I do something illegal!" Qin Feng sent Lisa away with a smile.
I have to take care of my own computer.
You can't just leave it here. If you are targeted by the FBI, you will be in trouble.
For example, the FBI suspects that he is tax evasion, or some messy reason, after all, he has been targeted by the FBI before helping China buy machining machines. They are not proven.
Later, they also suspected that they were the hacker Q, and there was no evidence.
But if one day, they directly apply for a search warrant and come to search, if this computer is searched, it will be troublesome. Then I'm afraid that the FBI will laugh out loud in their dreams.
But how?
All the materials are washed out, which is the easiest. But the core client you can't clean out. This has to be cleaned up, and then it will be troublesome.
It seems that encryption still has to be done.
Software encryption technology.
As far as Qin Feng knows, the best open-source encryption technology, Truecrypt, of course, was later exposed by Google as having major vulnerabilities. But before the breach was exposed, the FBI failed to decipher the encrypted files of Brazilian bankers accused of financial crimes by Brazilian law enforcement agencies after a year of attempts. A Portuguese-language Brazilian newspaper reported that the Brazilian Federal Police seized five hard drives from banker Daniel Dantas' apartment in Rio de Janeiro during Operation Satyagraha in July 2008. The article mentions that the hard drive uses two encryption programs, one is TrueCrypt and the other is the unknown 256-bit AES encryption software. After experts failed to crack the code, the Brazilian government asked the United States for help in early 2009, but the U.S. federal police returned the drive after a year of unsuccessful attempts. There is no law in place in Brazil that compels Dantas to surrender his password.
Therefore, until its vulnerabilities are exposed, it is extremely safe.
Of course, Qin Feng will not use this software. Not now.
As for its follow-up version: Verycrypt, Qin Feng doesn't plan to use it either.
This is because it uses asymmetric encryption technology. And Qin Feng wanted to use a software that could use both symmetric and asymmetric encryption technology.
That is, the GnuPG software of later generations.
Qin Feng is now majoring in IT, so the amount of knowledge in this area is relatively extensive and large.
It seems that someone is working on such encryption software right now.
As long as it is developed, it cannot be cracked as long as there is no matching key.
In particular, this is encrypted on a partition-by-partition basis. Once your hard drive partition is encrypted, it can't be cracked no matter what method you use.
Unless you can break the Riemann conjecture.
Once the Riemann hypothesis can be broken, then the mathematical formula applied in it can crack these encryption software. Not only can it be cracked, but at the same time, it can also crack the foundation of the entire banking industry and even the financial industry.
Because you can use those mathematical formulas to withdraw cash and tamper with data at will in the financial industry.
However, the Riemann conjecture has not been cracked since its birth in 1859.
Countless mathematicians have tried, but no one has ever cracked it.
Subsequently, Qin Feng logged in again, and in the dark web, he released a reward for the development of new encryption software.
And this bounty has naturally won the fans of many hackers.
Quite simply, what hackers fear most is that their computers will be acquired by the FBI. Sometimes, even if you delete it, you may not be able to completely delete all the data. There will always be some clues left.
In this case, once caught, it's over.
Because his identity is exposed, once exposed, don't think about engaging in this industry in the future.
Now, if a completely new encryption software is developed, it will be perfect.
Naturally, the entire press on the Internet was full of praise for Qin Feng.
"Q is Q, leading us forward. If it is developed, we will not be afraid of the FBI at all in the future!"
"Well, as long as we have encryption software, we can develop it, and then we don't have to hide like mice!" one hacker lamented.
Before this, it was not that no one thought about it. However, it takes money to develop such a large piece of software.
If you don't have money, how can you develop it? You develop it alone? Isn't that?
If you develop it alone, you don't know how much energy and how many years of youth it takes.
I don't know, how long it will take to do it. It can never even be done.
A large piece of software can never be done by one person.
This requires someone to step up. Be able to call on everyone to do it together.
But no one had such a appeal before.
There may be some hackers, very influential, whose skills are highly respected by other hackers.
However, its appeal is not strong.
Q, on the other hand, is different.
The last time the first hacker conference was held, bringing all the hackers together, it showed its appeal.
Of course, the most important point is that Q is rich.
This rich hacker is the one who really has appeal.
What is the most lacking thing for hackers? Because hacking itself is a job with no money, this is simply a hobby.
If someone offers money, it can bring together a lot of hackers.
Of course, it's not enough to just have money, you also have to convince a lot of hackers. After all, there are more rich people, how old are you?
Why should I listen to you? Most of those who can be hackers are unruly. Moreover, he was willing to endure poverty. Anyway, I'm used to it, and I don't pay much attention to eating and drinking.
In this case, you can't get these hackers to do the work just because you have the money.
Only Q has such appeal.
And this time, Qin Feng's reward was $1 million.
To develop a strong, uncrackable encryption software, $1 million is, in reality, far from enough.
However, in the dark web, with the efforts of many hackers to work together, it is not a problem.
After all, the demand for money is not high, unlike the high wages that companies offer programmers. Hackers, no. All you have to do is give a little money. And there is no need to pay taxes.
In addition to this, there is also the fact that this in itself is needed by many hackers.
Now, I can benefit myself and at the same time, I can make some money, which is already very happy.
However, there is also a question of trading.
That is, digital currency, which must be developed as soon as possible.
That is, Bitcoin! Qin Feng pouted. It's really one thing after another. Fortunately, you don't have to do everything yourself. This is a wise decision to set up the dark web.
