Chapter 59: If the Locusts Could Also Be Social Engineering
Although Wei Gang had already warned the manufacturers of those antivirus software, Ufeifan's purpose this time was to make these antivirus software suffer a little, so that they would not interfere in the competition between themselves and Wei Gang, so the virus still broke out on a small scale in some areas.
Within one day, I received many complaints and requests for help from users, which made several major anti-virus software vendors a little annoyed, an unknown small virus designer, actually dared to issue provocations and threats to several major anti-virus leading companies in China at the same time, this time if he was not cured, he would dare to do this in the future, and he should not do this anti-virus business.
Wei Gang's reminder was taken as a deaf ear by them, and several major antivirus software vendors almost at the same time, each launched a special virus killing tool, completed the upgrade of the virus database, and issued a special warning of the virus, to try their best to crack down on this small virus that is not too widespread, and to trace the source of the virus by technical means, which can be regarded as their response to Ufeifan's provocative behavior.
At this point, ufeifan's second virus has also disappeared in the encirclement and suppression.
For several days, ufeifan's new virus has not been released again, Liu Xiao can't sit still, he is still counting on this virus competition to establish some popularity, now several major antivirus software high-profile deal with ufeifan, things are hot, this is a good opportunity for him to show his skills, Liu Xiao doesn't want ufeifan to retreat so quickly.
Besides, ufeifan's two viruses are simply not difficult at all, Liu Xiao can get these two viruses almost effortlessly, which makes him feel very unpleasant, is ufeifan just these two sub-levels?
"Damn! It can't be that the donkey skills are really poor, right?" Liu Xiao decided to call Wei Gang and ask, he couldn't stay in front of the computer all day and wait for this matter, if Ufeifan really didn't show up anymore, then he would have to think of other tricks to expand the reputation of the studio.
Liu Xiao hurriedly flipped out his mobile phone and dialed it.
"Liu Xiao, is there something wrong?" Wei Gang was a little surprised, this was the first time Liu Xiao took the initiative to call.
"Senior Wei, ufeifan hasn't moved in the past few days, did you take the initiative to admit defeat?" Liu Xiao asked.
"What do you think?" Wei Gang asked with a smile.
"I'm not sure I'm sure either, so I'll ask you for advice. ”
Wei Gang pondered for a moment, "I think ufeifan is accumulating strength, the two viruses he released, the technical content is not even as good as the patchwork virus before, I don't think he used all his strength, the first time is to probe our reaction ability, the second time is to warn antivirus software vendors, I think this third time, he is going to show the real level." ”
"I thought so at first, but this guy didn't make a move for several days, which made me feel a little strange!" Liu Xiao paused, "According to this guy's previous style, after suffering a loss, he will definitely fight back immediately, and he will definitely not endure it for so long." ”
"That's what I'm worried about!" Wei Gang sighed on the phone, "If you can put up with a person who is sure to repay for so many days, it means that he is completely sure of his next move, maybe he is now arranging and planning for the next shot, and my side has now arranged for people to be on duty 24 hours a day." Wei Gang paused, "I'm very worried, once we can't quickly control the ufeifan virus, then the competition between us will become a huge virus storm, and the real loss is still those Internet users." ”
Liu Xiao also frowned, but he didn't think that he would not be able to control ufeifan's virus at that time, in the end, the virus is just a few characteristics, can ufeifan still be able to play the virus out, "What does senior Wei estimate that ufeifan's target of this virus attack will be?"
"It's hard to say this time!" Wei Gang didn't dare to say nonsense.
"Could it still be those antivirus software?" Liu Xiao asked, and then analyzed: "According to Ufeifan's character, it is really rare for him to be able to greet those antivirus software in advance, and these antivirus software vendors are now hyping up this matter, I think ......"
"What you say makes sense!" Wei Gang sighed, "I've already persuaded those antivirus software vendors, saying that this is just a private meeting, don't let them mix, but they are just too impulsive!"
"I don't think Senior Wei has to worry too much. Liu Xiao laughed, "Now that these manufacturers have created such a momentum, maybe they really scared ufeifan and didn't dare to show up!"
Wei Gang also laughed, Liu Xiao's statement is really possible, "I hope that's the case!"
It seems that he can't get any substantive news from Wei Gang, so Liu Xiao hung up the phone, ufeifan doesn't show up, and he can't force him to show up, it seems that this matter can only be like this for the time being.
Pulled over, Liu Xiao was ready to continue to track down the guy who stole QQ, he has not been idle in the past few days, through that IP address, Liu Xiao has traced to a website, this is a website specializing in selling QQ numbers, there are no less than a thousand numbers on it, and the price is clearly marked for sale.
The website is not only this business, but also to help people crack the QQ password, according to the difficulty of the password to charge; there is also a custom QQ number service, you just say a number you want, the website can help you go to Zhang Luo, after success, one hand to pay money, one hand to hand over the number. To put it bluntly, it is to help you steal the number, but Liu Xiao looked at the transaction records and found that there were really many people who came to buy numbers, most of which were numbers with similar birthdays, mobile phones, and fixed phone numbers.
Liu Xiao carefully studied this website, looking for every opportunity to start, and now he must figure out where the other party's people are and how many people there are, otherwise if he continues to chase after him so aimlessly, when will it be a head.
Eyes swept the webpage again, Liu Xiao suddenly saw a thing, it is a web link function of QQ, which can show the online status of a number, after clicking, you can establish a temporary session with this number, this function is used by many websites to do online consultation, online contact.
There are also three numbers for contact on this website, one is the webmaster, one is the deputy webmaster, and one is the customer service. Among the three numbers, only the number of the deputy stationmaster is online at this time.
Liu Xiao looked at it for a while, and suddenly laughed gloomily, he came up with a way, if it succeeded, the other party's information would be sent by himself, "Don't you know how to play social engineering? Hehe, Lao Tzu will let you know who is the ancestor of social engineering today!"
Liu Xiao ran to apply for a new QQ number, and then set the QQ nickname and personal information exactly the same as the webmaster who was not online.
After checking it and confirming that there were no mistakes, Liu Xiao used this number to establish a temporary conversation with the deputy stationmaster, and without saying anything, he sent a depressed expression.
The deputy webmaster's message came, "Are you?", it seems that he was also confused by this QQ number.
"Me!" Liu Xiao sent a message, "How is today's harvest?"
"Oh, it's the boss, why did you change this number!" Although the deputy stationmaster was a little puzzled, he still chose to believe that this was his boss, the nickname and information were the same, there shouldn't be such a coincidence, so he continued to send a message, "Not today, I will collect more than 4,000 yuan on duty." ”
"Don't mention it, the eagle was nagged by the eagle, and I don't know who I offended, and my number suddenly can't go up now. ”
The deputy stationmaster hurriedly replied: "Could it be that the ice dragon gang did it?"
Liu Xiao hurriedly wrote down the name Ice Dragon, probably a competitor of this website, and then replied: "Forget it, I don't care about this in advance, I can handle it myself." I see that our business has been declining a bit recently, how many of them are not online? You give me their number, I will talk to them now, and we have to pay attention to the business matters, otherwise the money will be made by others. ”
"Okay, you wait, I'll find it for you!" The deputy stationmaster was busy looking for a number, and after a while, he sent over a number, and asked, "Do you want a mobile phone number?"
Liu Xiao didn't dare to ask for it, and said, "Damn! I haven't lost my phone, no need for it!"
The deputy stationmaster didn't speak, and sent a laughing emoji.
"Okay, I'll talk to them, you can continue to be busy!" After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he quickly flashed people, and if he said too much, he would lose it.
Liu Xiao sent an emoji message to the numbers of several other people, but this time he didn't use the fake webmaster's number, but randomly chose a spare number, and when those people came back, Liu Xiao could get the IP addresses of those people, and the most important thing was that Liu Xiao had figured out the basic structure and member list of the other organization.
Judging from the function of this website, Liu Xiao also probably knows the process of the other party grabbing money. First of all, the other party relies on spreading virus Trojan horses, implanting horse theft programs into the user's computer, waiting for the opportunity to steal a large number of QQ numbers, and then there will be a screening process, those so-called pretty numbers, they will be traded on the website, and those non-beautiful numbers that have no transaction value, they will use them to spread the tail message of cheating money before, bind to the mobile phone, and will also deceive users to customize various spam services. In the tail message, they will also be mixed with links to viruses and Trojans, so that they can harvest more QQ numbers and ensure that they have a steady stream of number sources.
Liu Xiao has to admire these people, these QQ numbers that are worthless in their own eyes have been scraped down by these people layer by layer, there will be such a big amount of oil and water, and they have not let go of every link that may create value, just like a blood-sucking locust.
The next job is very simple, just like the last time Wu Yue overlord, slowly infiltrate the other party's machine, and get evidence that they stole QQ numbers, create tail viruses, and defraud money, even if it is a complete success.
As for what to do after getting the evidence, whether to force the other party to disband the organization like last time? Or to bring these guys to justice, Liu Xiao hasn't thought about it for the time being, and now it's in vain to think about it, let's get all the evidence in hand first. Anyway, now ufeifan doesn't show up, so he just took this opportunity to hurry up and get this thing done.
