After tossing for a day, when Liu Xiao came out of the Public Security Bureau, it was already evening. The police didn't make it difficult for him, but criticized a few words, and asked Liu Xiao to write an understanding of the danger of high-altitude throwing objects, Liu Xiao lay on the table of the police station and stared at it for a day, but he didn't write it, the police had no choice, he had to get off work, so he had to put Liu Xiao back.

Seeing that it was not early, Liu Xiao was too lazy to go to the company, so he went home directly, went home and lay down on the bed, Liu Xiao began to stare again, he didn't sleep last night, he was already sleepy, plus today's incident, the blow to Liu Xiao was really big, Liu Xiao lay on the bed and thought in a daze, if it wasn't for the snow without a trace reminder this time, he might have been kept in the dark forever.

Liu Xiao sat up suddenly, as soon as he remembered that there was no trace of stepping on the snow, he remembered the USB flash drive he took out from the bank safe today, Liu Xiao quickly took it out of his pocket, got up and walked to the computer, he wanted to see the information on it, and took two steps, Liu Xiao remembered that he had thrown away the computer today.

"Damn!" Liu Xiao kicked on the empty computer desk, then turned around and went out, what the hell is going on, having a computer is a scourge, and it can't be done without a computer, "Fuck!" Liu Xiao cursed again, closed the door and went downstairs.

Out of the community, Liu Xiao walked a few hundred meters along the street and found an Internet café to get in.

After getting the card on the machine, Liu Xiao was looking for a free machine, and the phone rang, it was Huang Xing calling, Liu Xiao frowned, he didn't want to answer this call, there was nothing else, it must be that the retaliation of the soft alliance was known by the network supervisor, but what if you know, in addition to sympathy, it is estimated that they will not be able to take any practical action!

The phone kept ringing, and Liu Xiao had no choice but to press answer, "I'm Liu Xiao!"

"Liu Xiao, I'm Huang Xing!Where are you now?" asked Huang Xing.

"Are you okay? I'm busy right now!" Liu Xiao saw a spare machine, so he walked over and sat down.

"We already know about the soft alliance, we did underestimate the other party's ability, I'm sorry, I want to ask, is there anything you need our help with?" Huang Xing was probably very embarrassed at this time, "If there is, please just say it, we will definitely help!"

"No!" Liu Xiao paused, "We can handle it ourselves!"

Huang Xing froze for a while, "If I can stop the awarding of the license, it is estimated that this will not happen now, so if you need to, you must speak, let me do my best to make up for my mistakes, otherwise I will be very guilty!"

Liu Xiao was speechless, Huang Xing has always been an understanding person, but he can't help it, after all, his little arms can't resist his thighs, and the above has decided to award a license, not that he can stop it. Liu Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Things are not completely clear yet, so we don't need your resources for the time being." However, I guess this matter will have to go through the normal legal route in the end, and there will definitely be something that needs the help of your network supervisor at that time!"

"Okay, I understand!" Huang Xing certainly understood what Liu Xiao meant, "Don't worry, I'll find a way!"

"Then I'll thank you for the Soft Alliance!" Liu Xiao said.

"Don't say that, otherwise it will make me ashamed!" Huang Xing sighed, "I will always pay attention to this matter, if there are any clues and changes, I will contact you in time." ”

"Okay, then I'll be busy first!" Liu Xiao finished speaking, said politely, and hung up the phone.

Liu Xiao opened the USB flash drive, there was only a document file on it, but after opening it, he found that this document was very large, and it seemed that it took a lot of time and effort to get this document out without a trace.

At the beginning of the document, it was an analysis of the current situation and pattern of cyber espionage, and it took Liu Xiao two hours to read this beginning, and he read it very carefully, and after reading it, Liu Xiao was surprised, and he had a lot of insight.

It turned out that cyber spies were everywhere, but no one knew about his existence, Liu Xiao's back couldn't help but ooze a layer of cold sweat, and he even suspected that there might be cyber spies in the Internet café where he was now.

There are several types of cyber espionage organizations, one is formed by various ZFs with obvious political intentions, clear goals, Regularized cyber espionage organizations, they are attached to the intelligence and national security agencies of their countries, this kind of organization basically exists in every country, but most of their responsibilities are responsible for network security in their respective countries, to prevent the intrusion of foreign espionage organizations; second, they do not belong to any ZF, but maintain close ties with the intelligence services of some fixed countries, they will collect purposeful intelligence and information for these countries, and then sell them to each other, but only in secret transactions, the number of these organizations is not large, after they are exposed, sometimes they will obtain political asylum in some countries; and the third type, the most thorough cyber espionage agency, they only recognize money. Whoever gives money, they do things for whom, the number of this kind of organization is second only to the first type, all countries ZF want them to work for themselves, but they see them as a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, this kind of organization has no guarantee, and it is very likely that they will be their customers who eliminate them, so this kind of organization emerges in endlessly, but each will not survive for long.

The only exception is an organization called IND, which claims to be the world's number one cyber espionage agency, and has never missed a single order, and this organization has sold countless materials, from the military deployment of various countries, to the design drawings of cutting-edge weapons, research and development records, test data, down to a company's business plan, and even someone's schedule on a certain day, all of which have appeared in their sales records.

It has to be said that it is a miracle that such an organization of the public enemy of ZF in various countries, and even the public enemy of the world, has survived until now, and what is even more amazing is that their business is getting bigger and bigger, and they no longer need to take over any orders, but will regularly send a sales directory to their customers, in this catalog, you can find any information you need, of course, the price is ridiculously expensive.

This report without a trace made Liu Xiao fully realize the power of these spy organizations, not to mention the IND organization, which is those inaccessible cyber espionage agencies, a small piece of information they steal may bring serious political events to a certain regime, or even invite war, displace tens of millions of people, and also make the new technology that has spent tens of billions of dollars on research and development become worthless overnight.

And IND is even more legendary, a certain country ZF once bought a global oil and gas field resource distribution map from IND, only to find out after buying it, it turned out that under their noses, there is a world-class super-large oil field waiting to be exploited, and those experts they raised have been surveying this area for a long time, but they have not found it.

Liu Xiao was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses from the shock, the ability of these cyber spies has far exceeded his imagination, it is terrible, they are walking on the ground in and out of the classified network, and the global security experts are shit in their eyes. Liu Xiao only realized today that the sky he had been staring at since he was a child was just the sky that the frog at the bottom of the well saw, and in addition to him, there was also a sky outside the sky.

At the back of the document, there is a detailed information about the DTK organization, which is the organization that Timothy works for, and the organization that took revenge on the soft alliance.

The DTK organization is one of the top three cyber espionage agencies in Europe, and its members are not only the hacker masters responsible for invading, but also the elites of many industries, including data analysis masters, who are responsible for finding out the connections and conclusions from the inextricable data; Ubiquitous communications support and coordination, their best programmers who design the most powerful cyber attack weapons for them, they have security experts who are responsible for disrupting surveillance and tracking when they encounter them, and they even employ some of the country's retired special forces and agents of the intelligence agencies.

Liu Xiao sighed, it can be said that all the security agencies in this world will be overshadowed in front of this spy organization.

Treading Snow Without a Trace provides detailed information about all members of the DTK organization, including nationality, place of birth, address, resume from childhood to adulthood, and what espionage acts these people have carried out after joining the DTK organization, which is the person arrested in the Haicheng case this time, and their information also appears in this document. Liu Xiao didn't know how Treading Snow Without a Trace got these information, he could even know the information of the members of the cyber espionage organization, so didn't that mean that Treading Snow Without a Trace was a spy among spies?

At the end of the document, Treading Snow Without a Trace provides several solutions to the current dilemma of the Soft Alliance, of course, the dilemma he said only refers to how to get DTK to stop the attack. First, impersonate the ind agency to issue a warning, because the leader of this ind organization has a problem, he does not allow any network espionage agency to engage in everything on his own territory, and the Haicheng traffic chaos created by DTK before has already violated this taboo, which is the best policy; second, use the information of DTK members in his possession to negotiate with the other party, the other party has planted many people, but will not want all people to be planted, this is the middle policy; third, completely expose DTK, completely eliminate this organization, but if it fails, it will incur greater retaliation, and may also offend the background behind DTK, because DTK is in a cyber espionage organization, belongs to the second type, this is the next policy, in the words of stepping on the snow without a trace, it is not a last resort, or it is foolproof, and the third method will never be used.

Of course Liu Xiao will not take the best strategy (1--6--K small--say.com), he only now knows what IND is, Fang Guokun has always said that he is IND's person before, and he sent someone to monitor him, which is probably also the reason. I can't even get rid of it, if the person pretending to be IND sends a warning to threaten DTK at this time, if Fang Guokun and those people know, wouldn't he take the initiative to give the handle to the other party?

"It seems that we can only find a way from the middle strategy!" Liu Xiao muttered to himself, there is a soft alliance there to be a target, and the next strategy will definitely not work, and he can't take risks with the soft alliance.

Liu Xiao thought about it, downloaded a few tools from the Internet, first encrypted the report of Treading Snow without a Trace and backed it up to the Internet, and then completely shredded the files on the USB flash drive, and then searched the Internet to see which website was the first to spread "Soft Alliance has been attacked".

In the end, I found the largest security forum in China, and the news was reprinted from here, and Liu Xiao thought that the news was definitely spread by DTK itself. The Soft Alliance was just attacked yesterday, and even the Soft Alliance itself is still unsure of the extent, and this news has been reprinted everywhere, obviously on purpose.

Liu Xiao ran the tool, made an IP hiding, registered the ID of "Fengshen" on this forum, and then imitated the tone of the real Fengshen's crazy words and published a post.

"I will sanction those who attack the soft alliance and spread rumors!", this is Liu Xiao's title, this title looks very ridiculous, who knows which green onion you are Fengshen, you actually ran here to be an elephant, a judge tone, open your mouth and close your mouth is sanctions. This domestic security forum has always adhered to the attitude of "the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes", everyone argues for technology in the jar, and has never engaged in the Cultural Revolution-style set of bans and sanctions.

Liu Xiao's post was written in a foggy manner, saying that the people who attacked (computer station) and attacked the soft alliance were an evil organization, a group of people with ulterior motives, in order to maintain justice, he asked this group of evil people to retreat into the dark, otherwise they would be sanctioned, at the end of the post, Liu Xiao picked out the basic information of a less important member of DTK and put it on it.

Whoever reads it, I guess I can't understand what this post is about, and as for the information of the person in the back, it is even more confusing, is this the information of the wind god, or the information of the group of evil people he said? Many people read this nonsense post, and shouted for Banzhu to delete this post.

LIU XIAO KNEW THAT DTK'S PEOPLE WOULD DEFINITELY SEE THIS POST, BUT FOR INSURANCE, LIU XIAO SENT A LETTER TO AN EMAIL ORGANIZED BY DTK, WHICH ONLY CONTAINED THE LINK ADDRESS OF THIS POST.

After doing this, Liu Xiao shredded all the documents left on the Internet café machine, then got up to check out and left the Internet café.

Fang Guokun was woken up by his subordinates in the middle of the night, and hurried to the base, where his attendant Xiao Wu was already waiting.

"What's the situation?" Fang Guokun asked.

"A major discovery!" Xiao Wu hurriedly reported, "On a security forum in China, a person with the ID of 'Fengshen' posted a post, which is very valuable!"

"Tell me more!" Fang Guokun opened the door of the office and turned on the light.

Although the language of Fengshen's post is vague, the post alludes to the fact that it is not a person who attacks the soft alliance, but an evil organization hiding in the shadows, especially at the end of the post, he attaches the basic information of a person, according to our information, this person should be a member of the DTK organization. Xiao Wu paused, "From these two points, this wind god should know about the DTK organization, and the most terrifying thing is that he is very likely to have a large number of real information about the members of the DTK organization. ”

Fang Guokun was also a little surprised, "Have you checked the information of this wind god?"

"Checked!" Xiao Wu shook his head again after speaking, "Nothing, he set up IP hiding, we can't know the location of the poster! We also checked all the IDs called 'Fengshen' on the Internet, from the analysis of language and behavior, we found that there is a person who is very consistent, this person was active in major security forums two years ago, often posted, but was ridiculed as mentally ill, and then disappeared from the Internet. ”

"Can you get this person's information?" Fang Guokun frowned, it has been two years, and it is difficult to track down.

Xiao Wu shook his head, "No! It's been too long!"

Fang Guokun paced around the room twice, and he was also puzzled in his heart, who is this Feng Shen, why is he so clear about the matter of DTK, and what is the purpose of his post? After being missing for two years, why did he reappear on the Internet, just to help the Soft Alliance? "Do you think this person could be Liu Xiao?"

Xiao Wu thought for a while, "I don't think so! If Liu Xiao really knows everything about DTK, then DTK will definitely not dare to retaliate against the Soft Alliance so blatantly, if this person is the mysterious 'Snow Walking Without a Trace', then it is still a little possible!"

Fang Guokun nodded, he also thought so, but unfortunately, the matter of monitoring Liu Xiao was discovered, and it was impossible to know the whereabouts of Treading Snow without a trace from Liu Xiao, "Add this Fengshen to our monitoring object, and pay close attention to any comments he makes on the Internet." ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Fang Guokun didn't feel sleepy at all, and said to Xiao Wu, "You stayed up all night, hurry up and rest!"

"Yes!" Xiao Wu said and was about to withdraw. As soon as he went out, someone walked over, "Section Chief Wu, the latest report from the network supervisor!"

Xiao Wu took a look at it and said, "Okay, I know!", finished signaling the man to leave, and hurried into Fang Guokun's office, "Head, new news!

"It seems that even if this wind god is not Liu Xiao himself, he must have an inextricable relationship with Liu Xiao!" Fang Guokun frowned, "Send someone immediately to investigate all the information about Liu Xiao two years ago!"

"Yes, understood!"

"The person who told us would rather not find it than be discovered by Liu Xiao again, otherwise it will ......" Fang Guokun sighed, the effort he spent on Liu Xiao during this time was in vain.

"I understand! I will tell them!" Xiao Wu saluted, opened the door and walked out.

When Liu Xiao arrived at the company the next day, he got two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news. The good news is that he found that the DTK attack has stopped, and the post has been deleted, and the method of stepping on the snow without a trace has really worked, and the bad news is that almost all the computer newspapers and magazines have published this incident today, and the impact of the attack on the customer has been infinitely magnified.

The company's business has all been terminated, and even those Haicheng companies that usually wait in line for the soft alliance to design a security plan for them have also temporarily terminated their cooperation with the soft alliance, although this attack did not damage Haicheng's enterprises, and all the people in the company have stopped at once, and it is estimated that the person in charge of the personnel department will no longer worry about insufficient manpower.

Liu Xiao had expected these for a long time, and this was something that could not be stopped, and he now hoped that those companies that had suffered losses would quickly take the soft alliance to court, once the court had a conclusion, this suspicion and panic about the soft alliance would naturally end, but Liu Xiao also knew that it would take a while. If you want to demolish a building, it will only be a matter of an instant, but it will take a long time to rebuild it, and this period of time will be the most difficult period for the soft alliance.

The current soft alliance can only temporarily abandon all the inherent business in the past and turn to the development and implementation of new projects, and cannot just wait for the day when the results will come out.

Liu Xiao pressed the phone of the business department, "Let the person in charge of media public relations contact the media, hold a press conference, clarify the facts, and publish a bulletin in the newspaper to refute the rumors and reduce the impact as much as possible." ”

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiao called the Haicheng Public Security Bureau again, saying that the soft alliance had been maliciously attacked by someone, and asked the police to intervene, file a case for investigation, find out the facts as soon as possible, find out this group of people who deliberately attacked and slandered the soft alliance, and restore the reputation of the soft alliance.

As soon as Liu Xiao hung up the phone, Da Fei knocked on the door and walked in.

Liu Xiao stood up with a smile, "Da Fei, sit down, I'm just about to look for you." Liu Xiao went over to pour water for Da Fei, "I want to temporarily terminate the existing business of the soft alliance and fully support your personal anti-espionage and anti-invasion project, what do you think?"

Da Fei looked very depressed, and instead of sitting, he shook his head, "You don't have to discuss with me in the future, you can do whatever you think is good!" Da Fei said and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and said, "This is my resignation report, please approve it!"
