After Boss Xiong left, Liu Xiao dialed Huang Xing's phone, and then got straight to the point: "Brother Huang Xing, I'm Liu Xiao, I want to ask you for help if I have something!"

Huang Xing was surprised, but also a little happy, and said: "You said, as long as you can help, I will never refuse!"

"It's this lawsuit of the soft alliance, since it has entered the legal process, then the court will definitely transfer the work of identifying the cause of the invasion to your network supervisor, I think ......"

"Do you think we have a bias towards the Soft Alliance when we appraise it?" Huang Xing didn't wait for Liu Xiao to finish speaking, and asked anxiously.

"No, you just need to do a good job of appraisal in a realistic manner. Liu Xiao paused, "I mean, I hope you can think of a way to make all the appraisal work complete in the shortest possible time, no more than twenty days!"

"What do you mean by that?" Huang Xing was a little puzzled, this didn't seem to be a help.

"I hope to get this lawsuit over as soon as possible. Liu Xiao sighed, "I have understood, according to the normal procedure, this case will take at least three months to wait for the verdict to be pronounced, but our soft alliance can't wait so long, now the company's business has come to a complete standstill, and if the employees don't see improvement for a long time, they will lose the courage and confidence to persevere." Therefore, I have already invited someone to go to the court to do work, hoping to make special arrangements to shorten the trial process, but this requires the cooperation of your network supervisor!"

"I understand!" Huang Xingyi frowned, "I will notify the network supervision departments in various places to give priority to this case of the Soft Alliance, it will not take twenty days, within half a month, I promise to complete all the identification and evidence collection work!"

"Then I'll thank you!" Liu Xiao thanked him, "I'll leave this matter to Brother Huangxing!"

"You're scolding me when you say this!" Huang Xing was very upset, "I should thank you, it was to assist our network supervisor in the work that he affected the soft alliance, and now we need our network supervisor to do a little bit of help, that's what we should!"

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Next time you come to Haicheng, I'll treat you to a big dinner!"

"Without further ado, I'll notify now!" Huang Xing was very happy when he finally waited for a little bit of energy, stopped talking nonsense with Liu Xiao, and went straight to business.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiao entered the laboratory, he now devotes all his time and energy to the design of strategic products, according to Liu Xiao's plan, whether the soft alliance can turn over, to a large extent, depends on whether the product can be completed in advance, so Liu Xiao has been working all night these days. The current state of the company just gave Liu Xiao a lot of time, so that he didn't have to be distracted to deal with the company's affairs, because there were no affairs at all.

The outside media are hyping up this lawsuit every day, and there are also discussions on the Internet, all the old bottoms of the soft alliance have been dug out, even including the boss and their affairs, this is a very secret thing, Liu Xiao has to believe the sentence that Treading Snow without a trace often says, 'There is no impermeable wall in the world!' In addition to issuing a statement to refute the rumors, the soft alliance did not take any action, nor did it accept media interviews, leaving them to hype up casually.

SoftAlliance has entered the most difficult period in the company's history, although the heads of various departments continue to cheer for employees, but it can be seen that this has no effect, everyone is not optimistic about the future of SoftAlliance, but they are reluctant to leave Softalliance for a while, so they grit their teeth and persevere, hoping to see the hope of improvement in a short time. But while persevering, some people have begun to make other plans for their future.

Nearly a month has passed, and the court has finally released the news, because this case is special and the evidence work has been completed, so the case will be tried in advance, and the court has sent a notice to both parties to appear in court.

MM at the front desk was sitting there bored at this time repairing his nails, and no one had come to the soft alliance for several days, and there was no one looking for him.

"Miss, I want to see you President Liu!" a foreigner came out of the elevator, speaking in half-baked Chinese.

"I'm sorry, our Mr. Liu doesn't accept interviews!" MM put down the nail clippers, glanced at the foreigner, and said secretly in his heart: Mom, the matter is really big, and it has been stabbed out of the country.

The foreigner was in a hurry, and directly spoke English again, "I'm sorry, I'm not here for an interview, I'm here to discuss things with you Mr. Liu, this is my business card!", the foreigner handed over his business card.

MM took a look, looked at the foreigner again, and said, "I remember, you came here two months ago!" You come with me to the conference room and wait for a while, and I will inform Mr. Liu. This foreigner is the vice president of iDeface.

MM came to the door of the laboratory and knocked on the door, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu!", there was no response, MM was a little puzzled, he didn't come out when he saw Liu Xiao go in in the morning and tomorrow, so he knocked a few more times, but there was still no response, and in the last hurry, he directly pushed the door open.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Liu Xiao wearing a headset, dancing in front of the computer, like a monkey, I don't know what I was doing.

"Mr. Liu~" MM's voice dragged on for a long time, and he took off Liu Xiao's headphones in the past, "Someone is looking for it!"

"Huh?" Liu Xiao stopped his actions, "How did you get in?

"iDeface people!" MM glanced at Liu Xiao's computer twice, and found that there was nothing, so he was very strange, "What did you just do?" MM danced a few times like Liu Xiao.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Liu Xiao put the headphones back on the table, with a happy face, "It's just happy!"

MM was stupid at the time, she didn't know where the joy came from, she was very suspicious, could she still hold back any joy after being stuffy in the laboratory all day?

"Let's go, let's see, I was looking for iDeface, but I didn't expect them to come!" Liu Xiao pushed MM out of the laboratory, turned around and locked the door, "God help me!"

"Hello, Mr. Robin, long time no see!" Liu Xiao smiled and pushed open the door of the conference room and went over to shake hands with the vice president.

"Hello, Mr. Liu!" Robin got up.

"Please take a seat!" Liu Xiao said, and sat down himself, "Mr. Robin's trip to Asia went well, right?"

Robin shook his head, "It's not going well, there are too few wise and far-sighted people like Mr. Liu!"

Liu Xiao paused, "This has to be done slowly, before seeing the benefits of sharing vulnerabilities, few people will choose to cooperate with iDeface!"

"Our team has returned to China, and I am ready to go back, this time I deliberately made a detour to China, which was entrusted by the headquarters to confirm one thing!" Robin looked at Liu Xiao, "Next week, this year's Black Hat Conference will be held, we want to know if Mr. Liu can attend the meeting, whether he has prepared any speeches, so that we can make some arrangements for the meeting schedule!"

"I'm sure I won't be able to make it!" Liu Xiao said.

"Why?" puzzled Robin, "Didn't you say yes before?"

"Our soft alliance is in some trouble right now, maybe you've heard of it!" Liu Xiao looked at Robin.

Robin nodded, acknowledging that he had heard about it.

"The court will hear this case next week, and as the head of the soft alliance, I have to go to court. Moreover, as the defendant of a major case, according to the law, I am not expected to be able to leave the country at this time. Liu Xiao shrugged helplessly, "However, our soft alliance will send another person to participate in the meeting, and I still have something to ask Mr. Robin to help!"

"Tell me!"

"At this black hat conference, we want a special topic in the soft alliance!" Liu Xiao said.

"What's the topic?" asked Robin.

"I remember that last year Microsoft did a special topic at the Black Hat Conference, and they put the new generation of operating system they had just released at the conference, and invited all capable people to come on stage to test the security of the system!" Liu Xiao paused, "I need such a special topic!"

Robin looked embarrassed, "I can't decide on this, if you want to make a statement, I can guarantee it." Do you have any products to test?"

"Well, there is indeed a product for your peers to test!" Liu Xiao smiled, "So please also ask Mr. Robin to discuss with your headquarters, if you can, our soft alliance will pay a sponsorship fee to the conference!"

"This ......," Robin hesitated for a moment, "Okay, then I'll contact HQ now!", Robin finished and pulled out his phone.

"Okay! Then I'll trouble you!" Liu Xiao got up and went out, leaving Robin to contact their headquarters.

After about ten minutes, Robin walked out of the conference room and shouted Liu Xiao, and when Liu Xiao came over, he stretched out his hand, "Congratulations, Mr. Liu, our headquarters agreed to your request!"

"Great!" Liu Xiao couldn't help but applaud loudly and shook hands with Robin tightly, "Thank you so much, Mr. Robin!"

Robin smiled and shook his head, "It's not me who should be thanked, the headquarters can agree to your request because this is the first time that Chinese hackers have officially appeared at the conference, and some people want to see the strength of Chinese hackers." So, you don't have to pay for sponsorship anymore, someone will pay for you!"

"Who?" Liu Xiao was stunned at the time, could it be that they invited the Soft Alliance to participate in the meeting for this reason in the first place?

Robin still shook his head, "I can't tell you yet, but I want to tell Mr. Liu that we are all looking forward to the performance of Chinese hackers!"

Liu Xiao had to retract his curiosity and said, "We are also looking forward to the wonderful performances of other peers!"

Robin smiled, "Now that this matter has been decided, then I will rush back as soon as possible." The conference is approaching, and there are still many things waiting for me to help at the headquarters!"

"Then I won't keep you!I wish you a smooth journey!" Liu Xiao smiled, sent Robin out of the company's gate, and then stood at the front desk MM in a daze, "Strange! Who wants to see the strength of Chinese hackers!" After thinking for a long time, he couldn't guess, Liu Xiao had to give up and walked towards the company sullenly, "No matter who it is, it is estimated that he will be disappointed this time!"

Four days later, in Las Vegas, USA, this year's Black Hat Convention will begin. What started as a conference attended by only a few dozen people to secretly discuss virus technology has evolved into a security technology summit that has attracted global attention. The world's most famous security companies and software companies have been discredited at the Black Hat Conference; little-known figures have been a blockbuster here, and they have been honored as one of the world's X biggest hackers; any security technology report is enough to affect the pattern of network security in the whole world, which is probably the charm of the Black Hat Conference, which is why many people and many enterprises are still happy to do it even if they have planted their heels here, which is the annual carnival of a group of technology maniacs.

In the past, the discussion was purely about attacks, but with the efforts of the organizers, the topics of the Black Hat Conference have become more and more diversified, covering all security topics in the current world electronics field, including voice service security, digital forensics, hardware, operating system core, reverse engineering, zero-hour attacks, and zero-hour defense, etc., and even topics that were only discussed by white hat hackers in the past, such as application security, application security testing, etc.

A few years ago, the world's most famous software vendors and security vendors hated the Black Hat Conference, because after each conference, they had to vomit blood to patch endless vulnerabilities. And now, they are slowly participating in the Black Hat Conference, and even talking about their vision for the future here.

On the walls around the conference site, many projection screens are hung, the largest one is used to enlarge the front desk speaker, so that the last row of people in the venue can also see the speaker's every move, and there is also an auxiliary projection screen next to it, and the speaker's operation on the computer will be transmitted here synchronously. According to the arrangement of the conference, a few days before the conference, there is a series of special training, and those who can give speeches during this period are the most top-notch masters in the hacker pile, who will share the latest results of their research, the sharpest attack methods, and the most powerful hacking tools here to the participants.

As for the other projection screens, they also have their own uses, one of which is constantly refreshed with strings of numbers and characters, this is called the "black wall", which was initiated by a few crazy people, who hacked the mobile phones and laptops of those who attended, and then posted their mobile phone numbers and computer usernames on this wall.

All the attendees were there, and just waiting for the organizers to announce the opening, the tech event was about to begin.

At this time, an area next to the front desk was pushed out of two computers, the main projection screen switched the camera, and every move of those who pushed the computers was clearly seen by the people present.

A job took out a Microsoft operating system installation disk that had just been unpacked,Start installing the operating system on a computer,Everyone can see clearly,All the installation processes are all defaults,And the installed system version shows,This is an old version that has not been patched。 According to the legend in hacker circles, the operating system installed in this way can be attacked with at least more than 200 intrusion methods, and everyone jokingly calls this a "sieve system".

Everyone is speculating about the intentions of the staff, is this a small entertainment event brought to everyone by the conference?

After the staff installed the operating system, and then took out a CD, he deliberately let everyone look at the installation file on the CD and laughed, only more than 800KB, less than 1M large, and then began to install, the installation of this software can be said to be completed in an instant.

Just when everyone was unclear what the purpose of this software was, the main screen switched back, and at the same time, a projection screen on the side wall lit up, with two lines of large letters on it, "A sieve system installed by default, a software firewall less than 1M in size!", and a line of small print below, "If you think you can do it, please give it a try!"

"Wow~" The whole venue was boiling, it turned out that people were going to invade this sieve system. A sieve system with a small software firewall installed dared to take such a big breath, and some people couldn't help but go down to challenge, but were stopped by the staff, because the organizers of the conference had already come to the forefront.

The president of iDeface stepped up to the front desk with a smile on his face, "I am honored to announce to you a number, the number of participants at this black hat conference has exceeded 8,000, which is twice the number of last year, which shows that our black hat conference is becoming the world's best top security forum!"

The people at the venue immediately applauded.

"Moreover, this black hat conference is the first global summit in the true sense, and many countries and regions that have not participated in the conference in the past, their masters are also invited to participate today, let us pay tribute to their participation!"

The audience applauded again.

The president of iDeface pointed to the two computers next to the front desk, "You may have noticed these two computers just now, this is a small gift brought to us by our Chinese colleagues who participated in the Black Hat Conference for the first time, from now until the end of this conference, as long as any of you think you are strong enough, you can come and try it at any time." As long as you can get into this sieve system, the organizers of the conference will give you a wonderful gift - a luxury three-day tour of Las Vegas!" announced the president of iDeface with a smile.

At this time, the venue can no longer be described as boiling, there are sharp whistles everywhere, many people are already eager to try, in their eyes, the sieve is a sieve, even if the hole is fine, there is something that can drill through the sieve, and drill through, it is a luxury three-day tour, you can live in a luxurious presidential suite, accompanied by champagne beauties, and most importantly, it is all free.

"Okay, I think you all have the daily schedule of this conference, and in the next few days, you can choose the keynote speeches you are interested in according to your preferences!" "The president of iDeface looked around the conference site, "I announce that the technology summit that will make the world tremble has begun!"

At the same time, Haicheng, a commercial claim case of 500 to 1 that caused a sensation across the country, also started its first trial, and the lively scene was not inferior to that of black hats.

In the first trial, the court did not allow the media to enter, and only a few large media sent reporters in to observe, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the media in the slightest, and some media even took advantageous positions in front of the court several days in advance.

The strongest prosecution in history who participated in the trial, as soon as they arrived at the courthouse, they were surrounded by the media, of course, they could not all come, they formed a temporary alliance, and elected ten representatives to take full charge of this "best lawsuit in history".

The delegates were full of confidence, "We invited Zhang Fei, the best economic lawyer in China, to take charge of this lawsuit, and all the economic cases that lawyer Zhang has fought before have won the lawsuit, so we are full of confidence in winning this lawsuit!"

Some of the deputies were filled with righteous indignation, "We are not fighting this lawsuit for compensation." As you may already know, on the surface, SoftAlliance claims to be the best security agency in China, but behind the scenes, it is an out-and-out 'cyber underworld', they sell their own things to our customers and eat our customers, while on the other hand, they continue to create cyber crises and grab ill-gotten gains. The reason why we have joined forces to sue the soft alliance this time is to let such a non-business rule and immoral cyber underworld completely shut down, and let them spit out everything they eat!"

This should be regarded as a cruel word, the media finally caught a fierce man and hurriedly shot at the representative.

This book was first published

At this time, a very dazzling voice came, "I remind this friend of the prosecution that you must pay attention when speaking in front of the media, and you must tell evidence in everything, and based on what you just said, I can completely sue you for slander!"

Everyone looked, but the representative of the Soft Alliance also came, and it was the person in charge of the business department of the Soft Alliance who spoke, followed by the lawyer and Liu Xiao.

The media surrounded them and asked questions, but they were all one question, "What do you think is the chance that the soft alliance will win the lawsuit?"

"Who wins and who loses, after the trial is over, everyone will naturally know, and now our soft alliance will not express any opinions!" The person in charge of the business department has been dealing with the media with this kind of emphasis for a month, and this time he still hasn't changed.

The media refused to let go, and surrounded the few people of the soft alliance, insisting that they express their opinions.

The person in charge of the business department was about to get rid of these media people, so that Liu Xiao and the lawyer could hurry in, but they were stopped by Liu Xiao. Liu Xiao was unusual, looking at the media with a smile, "Since everyone has to express our opinions, then I will say one sentence, just one sentence!"

All the media focused on Liu Xiao.

Liu Xiao smiled at this time, and his smile was even brighter than that of the representatives of the prosecution, "Although we already have enough evidence to prove that our soft alliance will definitely win the case this time, but at this moment, I have to regret to tell you that I have nothing to say!"

"Ah~" It took several seconds for everyone to understand the twists and turns in Liu Xiao's words, and then they were all stupid, Liu Xiao seemed to mean that the soft alliance would definitely win the lawsuit this time, which surprised everyone. Everyone understands the meaning of the words, but it doesn't feel like they understand one. Because when everyone thinks about it, the soft alliance should be gloomy at this time, even if it is not worried, then at least it should be like the one just now, and say "I will not express my opinion" with a straight face!

Just when everyone was stunned, Liu Xiao and a few people entered the courtroom.
