Chapter 2 Top Secret Websites

According to the basic routine of copying, the first shot to make a name for yourself should find a website to post some avant-garde content that can cause controversy, and it is best to recruit some trolls to put yourself on the cusp of black and black, so that whitewashing and slapping in the face are done in one go.

But in his hands is the Foundation, the SCP Foundation.

Hype is the easiest way to add value to the cultural industry, but it is not suitable for foundations.

The inconspicuous lights and the warm, inquisitive gaze are not what the Foundation should be.

What should the Foundation look like?

"There's no X-Men, no clichés, no ego, no glorification, no lame drama.

There is only one thing here.

The desire to create.

Create something that is beyond the ordinary, but almost fascinating, something that is unbelievable, but can give people a little doubt.

Create something that will make this mysterious organization more mysterious, rather than revealing its secret methods and goals. ”

That's the Foundation.

It should be a hazy shadow lurking beneath the horizon, a vast illusion that is distant and unobservable, a combination of fear, apathy, hope, and all other images that are both real and false.

Above the mortal dust, and watch over the world.

Guan Li had enough time to allow the system to slowly ferment into a shadow that enveloped everything, and until then, he needed to ensure the Foundation's own mystery.

At the very least, people who are new to the Foundation are to be accustomed to this hazy and mysterious atmosphere, and to maintain it spontaneously.

Therefore, it is not advisable to explode IP and win with traffic.

Even if it changes worlds, the Foundation still has to grow up from a small niche.

That's stable enough to get the foundation he wants.

Instead of being flooded by a large number of people watching the excitement, playing with memes, and finally becoming a plaything to be washed by, a popular symbol used by most people to show off.

Perhaps every culture that moves from the niche to the mass will have such a painful stage.

However, whether it is selfish or not, Guan Li does not want the Foundation to go through this process.

So, mystery.

He decided to keep the Foundation in a fog of half-truths forever.

Those "original authors who don't exist in this world" are a good tool.

As for themselves......

Guan Li, the Foundation's most privileged administrator.

He's just a janitor guarding this treasure.

"System, build a website, can you do it?"

"Yes, please say what you want. ”

As a creation far beyond this civilization, the system naturally has a level of technology far beyond that of its time, and the entire network is almost transparent in front of it.

Thus, a ghostly website was born under the will of Guan Li.

At the top of the homepage is a dark red background, with the name and logo of the SCP Foundation prominently displayed, and the words "Contain, Contain, Protect" written in English and Chinese underneath the name.

If you pull down the page, the characters highlighted by the contrasting black and red colors will pop into the eye -

"Warning: Foundation repositories are highly classified

Access by unauthorized persons is strictly prohibited

Perpetrators will be monitored, located, and dealt with"

The words "highly confidential" are enlarged and bold to ensure that anyone can see it at first glance.

Not to mention the impactful visuals, it is also very reverie to say that this sentence seems to have a strong warning atmosphere.

- What's going on with this site? What is the Foundation? What's the highly classified stuff? Is it really dangerous? Do you want to read on?

Guan Li said that this is what the Foundation wants.

The sense of danger and mystery is shaped from the first glance of the website every day.

As for whether it will scare people away......

As the saying goes, curiosity kills cats, and curiosity can scratch people, and there will always be people who are curious about this "highly confidential" website and start exploring it in various ways.

On the other hand, those who don't dare to try it when they see it are probably not suitable to read the Foundation's content.

- At least not for the early Foundation, which was now tasked with creating a dark, terrifying, and mysterious atmosphere.

Scroll down the page and you'll see a clickable button that says "Start Authentication".

From here, you'll find the site's login and registration pages.

Personal Code, Authentication Key...... Aside from a slight change in the name to suit the Foundation's style, the entire login process is no different from that of websites where you enter your "account number" or "password".

The registration is also about the same, it is the most stable mobile phone number binding registration today, of course, you can also choose not to bind, but if you forget the password, it will be troublesome.

The content does not need to be bothered about, just let the system import the Foundation archives in stages, but the steps of this import and the conditions for opening up to the outside world are very debatable.

He thought about it for a while, and decided that the first phase would only import the first 1,000 sequences of containment files, and the later files would be slowly uploaded at a rate of two or three per day in their original release order.

Other non-containment document content, such as Foundation stories, peer organizations, and setting centers, will be uploaded directly to the background when relevant content appears in the document.

The layout and link settings of these contents can be completed by the system, and Guan Li only pays attention to it, and no longer distributes energy after finding that there is no problem.

Here's the highlight!

- Permission leveling!

The clearance levels for all logins are set to vary from 0 (open information only) to 5 (Gemini/Top Secret), and personnel classification from D (expendable personnel) to A (non-lossable personnel).

The former limits what the logged-in person can see, and the latter limits what the logged-in person can write.

In fact, there is also an E level below the personnel level, but this level is a temporary classification for those who may be exposed to potential harmful effects, reflecting the login privileges......

This refers to a visitor who is not logged in.

By default, you don't have a voice, and you can't see anything that is set to "encrypted".

Yes, grading the permissions of all logged-in users and setting them to specific permissions can only lock the corresponding content, which is exactly what Guan Li does.

In the original Foundation page, although the written documents also contained various encrypted documents such as "permission verification" and "identity locking", they did not have any practical effect at all.

Foundation writers have included this in their own documentation simply to create a hard-lined, icy atmosphere, or to create a narrative trick to create a reversal of the premise.

In general, the Foundation's permissions are just good-looking ornaments, and they don't look like they don't have them to the readers.

Even if it is a document marked "top secret", it can be clicked on by any person.

After all, the Foundation is a literary creation project after all, and it is impossible to really do so many grading and encryption measures according to the setting.

- There are fewer people who come to watch, do you want to be popular if you make such a hassle?

Of course it can be fired!

Think of the sudden appearance of a website that describes a lot of paranormal phenomena, with all sorts of settings that are so detailed that it's hard to tell if it's true or not.

And no one has been able to find the person behind this website, and all cracking techniques have failed to do so......

What a great urban legend material!
