Chapter 60: Blocking
ufeifan finally showed up, but he sneaked out in the middle of the night, Liu Xiao went to the Terminator forum early in the morning, and found that there was one more post on the forum, and after reading the content, he quickly notified Wei Gang.
The post was sent by an ID called "Future Terminator", Liu Xiao tracked this person's IP and found that it was a virtual IP address, and it seems that the other party has already done a good job of protection. The content of the post looks like it was written by ufeifan, and he openly argued with the antivirus software vendor in the post, saying that next time if any antivirus software blocks his virus, he will block this antivirus software, and his tone is extremely arrogant.
The Terminator Forum is a non-governmental anti-virus forum, where these people gather to study and discuss how to exterminate all kinds of viruses. Everyone was immediately outraged, this was simply a provocation to the entire anti-virus community, too unsightly, too arrogant, and everyone felt that they had been insulted in the future.
Liu Xiao was also very angry, but at the same time, he felt that ufeifan was a little ridiculous today, and even threatened to ban antivirus software, which reminded Liu Xiao of the fact that a football association official said that CCTV would be banned not long ago.
However, since ufeifan's debut, this is the first public appearance, it seems that he is going to get out this time, two viruses in a row, ufeifan didn't even make a sound, it's really a little annoying, plus those security vendors collectively encircled him, and finally forced him to go crazy
"It's really a bit mysterious this time!" Liu Xiao sat in front of the computer and pinched his chin, judging from ufeifan's post, he should still go for those antivirus software this time, but he had already done it once before, and he used all the tricks he could use, I don't know what way he will release this virus that claims to be able to block antivirus software this time.
Liu Xiao speculated for a long time and came up with several tricks, but he was not sure that ufeifan would use these tricks he thought of, and finally had to give up, "Let's take precautions, and see you when the time comes!"
The people in the Terminator forum are still so angry, let alone the antivirus software vendors, who immediately said after learning the news that they will never be afraid of anyone's threats, that anti-virus is their duty, no matter how difficult it is, they will stick to it to the end, and anyone who dares to challenge will eventually fail.
The Terminator Forum, which has been quiet for a few days, has become lively again, and in these successive incidents, the Terminator Forum has gradually transformed from an anti-virus civil forum into a buffer zone where anti-virus and virus makers fight each other, and all forces are entangled and assembled here, with a little bit of neutrality.
Wei just finished reading the post, and called Liu Xiao back again, "Liu Xiao, it seems that this time ufeifan is going to work hard, we have to be fully prepared." ”
Liu Xiao was preparing at this time, so he said, "Don't worry, I've already started to prepare." ”
"That's good!" Wei Gang sighed, "It seems that you have the right analysis, this time Ufeifan is going to kill the antivirus software." ”
"It's okay, didn't he do it once last time? Liu Xiao didn't believe it anyway, thinking that Ufeifan's words were just a joke.
Wei Gang didn't see it that way, so his tone was still a little worried, "I just called those antivirus software, and I'm really worried about them." ”
"What's going on?" Liu Xiao asked.
"They were completely enraged by ufeifan, and now they have sent their own technical masters, 24-hour monitoring, ready to fight ufeifan, they mean, just defeating ufeifan is considered a failure, their goal this time is to find out ufeifan, to see people alive, to see corpses in death. ”
"What are you worried about then, isn't this just right?" Liu Xiao pursed his lips, "I also want to see the true face of that ufeifan Lushan." ”
"If only it were that simple!Let me ask you, is Ufeifan a master?" Wei Gang asked.
Liu Xiao didn't have to think about it, "Count, he is definitely a master, I used to think he was a genius, but unfortunately he didn't go the right way." ”
"Since he is a master, he will never just talk about it when he says that he wants to ban antivirus software. Wei Gang sighed, "His meaning in the post is very clear, if the antivirus software stops here, he will not be guilty of the past, otherwise he will go crazy." ”
Liu Xiao disagrees with Wei Gang's opinion, "If it weren't for this post, those antivirus software might have stopped, but now it's impossible, people are doing antivirus, and now ufeifan is threatening people with viruses, isn't this a naked provocation." Once the antivirus software bows its head to the virus makers, who will dare to buy their products in the future, and what face will they have to gain a foothold in the industry?"
"Alas......" Wei Gang didn't speak for a long time after listening, "Having said that, I still don't want these antivirus software to be mixed in, if ufeifan really has the ability to block, then they will not only lose face, but also endanger many innocent users." ”
Liu Xiao laughed, "Senior Wei is really a little overly worried, he is a master, but we are not weak opponents, things haven't happened yet, and it may not be clear who will win in the end." ”
"I hope I'm just worried!" Wei Gang was about to hang up the phone, "That's it for now, I'll also make preparations, and call me directly if I have something." ”
"Okay, I know!" Liu Xiao put away the phone and pouted, Wei Gang is good at everything, it's just that this is not good, and he is always worried.
In the afternoon, Liu Xiao received a call from Wei Gang again, and Wei Gang's mood on the phone was obviously much better, "Ufeifan's new virus has come out! Maybe your analysis is right, this virus has no harmful ability, I haven't made a move, those antivirus software vendors have released special killing tools, and now they are hyping it on the Internet." Oh, by the way, I've sent a sample of this virus to your mailbox. ”
"Look, Bai is worried!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Those antivirus software are not weak!"
"Yes, I'm a little bit ambitious, and I've lost my prestige, I ...... at that time" Wei Gang sighed, what else did he want to say, but he heard someone on the phone over there start to call him, so he hurriedly said: "Let's do it first, there is a new situation on my side, you should pay attention to your email at any time, as soon as there is a new virus, I will send it to you." ”
Liu Xiao responded, and when he was done, he went to open the mailbox, and sure enough, there was an email from Wei Gang, Liu Xiao didn't download the sample of the virus, anyway, this has been exterminated, and his own research is just a matter of sooner or later, he is anxious to go to the Terminator Forum to see the excitement.
A few pinned posts on the forum were all swiped by the antivirus software, poking there as if they were collectively demonstrating, indicating that they would never give in to the virus.
ufeifan's post was pushed back and forth, and there were some things in the reply, some were bitterly persuasive, some were sneering, some were-for-tat debates, and more were blatantly scolding, and many people regarded ufeifan as a joke.
"This time the cow is really blowing up!" Liu Xiao smiled and looked at the computer, he didn't expect ufeifan to ban antivirus software like this, when he didn't block it before, he had to take action from Wei Gang, but now it's good, even Wei Gang has to rest.
After refreshing the forum, Liu Xiao found that there were a few more posts, whether they were released by those antivirus software, or they were special killing tools, but the name of the virus was different. Liu Xiao wondered: Could it be that there is a virus again?
Just thinking about it, Liu Xiao's computer popped up a prompt: The new email you have is from Wei Gang.
Open it and take a look, sure enough, ufeifan has a new virus, but Wei Gang is still late this time, and these two viruses have been blocked by antivirus software. However, there is one thing that surprised Liu Xiao, this time ufeifan actually released two viruses at the same time for the first time, which was something that had never happened before.
Before Liu Xiao could figure out what was going on, the mailbox prompt rang again: You have a new email, from Wei Gang. Quickly refreshed it to see, Wei Gang sent a virus from ufeifan in the new email, but this time the number reached four.
"That's not right!" Liu Xiao faintly had a hint of foreboding in his heart, things don't seem as simple as they seem, ufeifan is engaged in a "virus war", if he releases a new virus every time by doubling the number, he can't hold out for a few rounds, all the virus software vendors have to be dragged down, and in the end, it's all viruses, and the antivirus software doesn't know which one to kill.
Liu Xiao refreshed the Terminator forum and found that two of the four viruses had been blocked by antivirus software, and two minutes later, the other two had also been blocked.
Liu Xiao scratched his head, he couldn't analyze it so much, after all, ufeifan was just one person, killing a virus, he immediately released two, killed two, he immediately released four, and released it at such a speed, it is estimated that the first one who can't hold it should be ufeifan, even if he has been preparing for many days, he can't create so many new viruses to release them, it won't take a few rounds, this ufeifan is afraid that he will be exhausted, now it's to see if the antivirus software can survive the previous rounds.
Things turned out to be as Liu Xiao guessed, almost at the same time that the antivirus software had just blocked the four viruses, ufeifan released eight new viruses again, followed by sixteen, and then thirty-two.
At this time, the antivirus software vendor has been fighting for a whole day, some of them are almost unbearable, the speed of the killing is getting slower and slower, the entire page of the Terminator forum is full of their posts, and the others are already dumbfounded at this time, a little confused, and they don't dare to speak indiscriminately.
Liu Xiao watched the excitement all day, and at this time he had to take action, he picked one of the thirty-two viruses sent by Wei Gang at random, and quickly downloaded it.
After running, check the records of the monitor, Liu Xiao found that this virus is far more powerful than the previous viruses, bundling a number of important processes in the system, forcibly modifying a number of system settings, destroying some management tools of the system, it is more difficult to repair, the virus is still frantically accessing an IP address in the background, encroaching on the user's system resources, Liu Xiao recorded this IP address, he estimated that this is probably the IP used by ufeifan to spread the virus.
It took more than 20 minutes for Liu Xiao to get rid of this difficult virus, and he posted the killing tool to the Terminator forum.
After finishing Liu Xiao was about to pick another virus, Wei Gang's phone called, "Don't send another killing tool!"
"Why?" Liu Xiao was a little puzzled.
"Several antivirus vendors have already sent me a plea for help. Wei Gang's voice was a little grim, "The situation is a little troublesome now, once we solve all the viruses in this batch, ufeifan will release new viruses, at that time it was sixty-four, and now the antivirus software vendors can't hold it anymore." ”
"What's going on!" Liu Xiao was a little puzzled, "I also analyzed the virus, there is nothing particularly powerful!"
"You can go to the official websites of several antivirus software and take a look, and you will know what's going on!" Wei Gang was a little depressed.
Liu Xiao hurriedly went to open a website of antivirus software, and found that it opened super slowly, prompting that the website had been found, but it was always not linked, Liu Xiao knew that something was wrong, and quickly opened the website of several other software, and found that it was the same problem, so he asked: "What's going on, why can't I open it!"
"It can still be opened after a few more refreshes, but the success rate is very low!" Wei Gang said.
A word popped up in Liu Xiao's mind: DDos distributed denial-of-service attack is the problem he tested last time when he applied for a job at SoftAlliance.
Wei Gang continued: "Ufeifan's virus is not powerful, what is powerful is his virus transmission methods, which are really impossible to prevent. I have gotten all the virus information today from the antivirus software vendor, each virus of ufeifan is different, some are spread by using the vulnerabilities of third-party software, some are spread by using web pages to hang viruses, some are spread by email, some are flash spread, and they all have the function of self-protection, today a day, there are at least more than 200,000 computers infected with ufeifan virus. ”
"So much?" Liu Xiao was a little surprised, "Could it be that the killing tools released by those antivirus software have no effect at all?"
"That's all expired rat medicine!" Wei Gang looked a little angry, "This ufeifan is too cunning, as soon as we come out with a killing tool, he will immediately stop the spread of the virus, and then spread a new virus, and the killing tool will not play a substantive role at all." Moreover, his viruses all have a function, that is, desperately accessing the website of the antivirus software and the virus database update server in the background, more than 200,000 machines do this at the same time, and the consequences you can imagine that now the servers of all the antivirus software are basically paralyzed, and the user cannot complete the normal upgrade of the virus database. For normal computer users, the most important thing they need is to upgrade the virus database to protect against viruses, rather than looking for a kill tool after being poisoned. ”
Liu Xiao finally knew that the IP he had just recorded when analyzing the virus was not the address where the virus was spreading at all, but the address of the antivirus software server, and ufeifan was using the virus to carry out distributed denial-of-service attacks on these servers. If the user cannot upgrade the virus database and prevent and view the virus in time, the antivirus software is just a decoration, which is actually equivalent to the successful blocking of the antivirus software.
"If ufeifan releases sixty-four new viruses, the number of infected computers will be doubled in an instant, and all the servers of the antivirus software will crash at that time, and then I can't imagine it!" Wei Gang's tone was extremely serious, this time he was in real big trouble.
PS: I have a headache in the past two days, I have no state, I don't dare to write blindly, I am afraid that it will be written into a running account, and the delayed update will be made up as much as possible
