Chapter 126: The Siege
Yunsheng sent a message back to Liu Xiao three days later, and Telecommunications and the network supervisor discussed it, and felt that Liu Xiao's method was feasible, and the matter of launching the underground organization would be secretly operated by Telecom.
Liu Xiao wants to draw some people from the soft alliance to assist telecommunications, after all, it is also the obligation of the soft alliance to crack down on these well-intentioned people. During the company's regular meeting, Liu Xiao put forward this idea, but the person in charge of the personnel department turned over the company's files several times, and the last person did not pull it out.
"Mr. Liu, the company's current business is too busy, not to mention that it can't be pulled out now, even in the next six months, it may not be able to pull out manpower, in addition to the business at hand, Haicheng has more than 30 enterprises and institutions have signed agreements with us. The person in charge of the personnel department was very helpless, "In my opinion, recruiting people is imperative!"
Da Fei slapped the table, "I used to worry about business, but now I have more business, and I'm fucking sad!"
Everyone else laughed, Da Fei always spoke so roughly, but no one expected that so many companies would come to SoftAlliance at the same time, and the queue was half a year later, just like that, there were still many people rushing to squeeze into this line. On the contrary, Huawei's business in Haicheng has suffered a setback across the board, and it is said that Huawei has begun to consider withdrawing from Haicheng's enterprise-level market.
"Mr. Liu, if you really don't want to recruit people, then this time to crack down on botnets, I think our soft alliance should not be involved!" someone suggested to Liu Xiao, "In fact, as long as we do our own business and the customer's network security is connected, there will be a lot fewer computers infected with bot programs, which is to contribute to the fight against zombie computers, and it is a real contribution!"
Da Fei pouted, "I think it's okay, anyway, there is more than one domestic security agency, there are not many of us, and there are not many of us." Last night I was chatting with the people in the circle, it seems that many hacker organizations are ready to fight botnets, this thing is a bit evil, I don't think we should be reckless until we figure it out!"
Liu Xiao smiled bitterly, although the target of this attack is also a botnet, but it is completely different from the past, but Liu Xiao can't find out to other people in the company now, otherwise the news will leak, and the secret operation of Telecom will fail.
The people in the company were also very surprised when they heard Da Fei say this, "The hacker organizations are all involved, there must be something strange about this matter, let's take a look and talk about it!"
Liu Xiao waved his hand, "You can't say that, it is the responsibility of every security agency to fight botnets and maintain Internet security, since we are doing this business, then we can't shirk this matter, even if others don't do it, we have to do it!"
"But we really can't spare manpower!" the head of the personnel department frowned.
"Then recruit people!" Liu Xiao sighed, "I didn't want to recruit people before, it was to stabilize the morale of the army, and I was afraid that our old employees would have some ideas." Now it seems that it is not possible to recruit people. ”
The head of the personnel department laughed, "Don't worry, I'll explain it to everyone." ”
Da Fei waved his hand, "Explain a fart, the people in the company are all tired like dogs these days, and they can't wait to recruit people quickly, this is what everyone thinks!"
Liu Xiao smiled, "Let me add again, we recruit people this time, not only must we have excellent skills, but also have brains and can analyze, I am ready to set up a network intelligence department!"
"Internet Intelligence Department?" Da Fei looked at Liu Xiao, "What are you doing?"
"You kid can't think of something serious?" Liu Xiao really can't do anything about Da Fei, this kid has nothing to say about his work, but there is nothing serious in other aspects, "The Internet Intelligence Department is responsible for intelligence collection and analysis, providing first-hand information for the company's business and technology trends. ”
Everyone else looked at Liu Xiao, not knowing what the role of this network intelligence department was.
"For example, let's take what Da Fei just said, the hacker organization suddenly seems to have been discussed in advance, and they are all going to fight against botnets, why is this, what's so strange about it?" Liu Xiao smiled and looked around at everyone, "Our network intelligence department is specifically responsible for this kind of intelligence, not only to keep an eye on these things on the surface, but also to take the initiative to discover and find out the potential security risks in the network, so that our products are ahead of the market!"
"Reasonable, reasonable!" Da Fei nodded, "There should be such a department, we can't be so passive, we have to take the initiative to solve whatever we encounter!"
"Okay, let's vote, if there are no objections, our network intelligence department will be established!" Liu Xiao took the lead in raising his hand.
The others thought about it a little and thought that this was a good thing, anyway, they were all going to recruit people, so they simply recruited them together, so they all raised their hands.
"Pass, then the Internet Intelligence Department will be managed by the Personnel Department for the time being, and after the people are recruited, we will elect the specific person in charge!" Liu Xiao stood up with a smile, "If there is nothing else, let's break up the meeting!"
Everyone was about to leave, Liu Xiao turned around again and smiled at the person in charge of the personnel department: "You think of a way again, you must transfer a few people out today, take charge of the fight against the botnet, and strive to come up with a plan today and tomorrow!"
"Mr. Liu, just let me go!" The person in charge of the personnel department said bluntly, "I really can't draw people, I can't draw half of it, it's full!" As he spoke, he handed his folder to Liu Xiao, "Look, there is really no one!"
Liu Xiao didn't answer, it seemed that he really couldn't draw people, so he frowned and waved his hand, "Forget it, then you should hurry up the recruitment of people!" Also, you find someone to update our website, even the hacker organization will crack down on botnets, if we don't make a statement as a security agency, we won't be laughed to death!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we have to say something!" Da Fei smiled, "I'll do this, I promise to be impassioned, righteous and righteous, and I will not stand against the botnet!"
"Da Fei, wait a minute!" Liu Xiao hurriedly stopped, "You go and make an announcement, only say that zombie computers are flooded, which seriously threatens network security, and the rest of the words are not allowed!"
"Huh?" Da Fei looked at Liu Xiao, he was mistaken.
"Cracking down on botnets requires us to do it in a real way, not a piece of paper for fame, understand?" Liu Xiao looked at Da Fei, "If you don't swear to stand on both sides, wait for us to draw out people and do it, and then talk about it!"
Da Fei gritted his teeth, "Got it! I'll get it!"
After the meeting ended, Liu Xiao went to the laboratory to continue to tinker with his strategy, and two hours later, Da Fei knocked on the door of the laboratory, "Things are a little wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Liu Xiao put down the work in his hand and looked at Da Fei strangely.
"The announcement you asked me to make, I sent it!" Da Fei frowned, "But after I sent it, our website began to be attacked one after another, up to now, our server has been attacked a total of fourteen times, the attack sources are very scattered, and the attack methods are also different!"
"Didn't you make an announcement as I asked!" Liu Xiao stood up.
"Impossible!" Da Fei handed a piece of paper to Liu Xiao, "I did it exactly according to your request, this is a printout of the original announcement, you can take a look!"
Liu Xiao took it and saw that Dafei's announcement was really concise, "According to the monitoring of the SoftAlliance Data Center, the zombie virus has been raging recently, infecting a large number of Internet users, and posing a great threat to Internet security and personal information security. SoftAlliance reminds network users to upgrade the virus database in time and do a good job of anti-virus and anti-virus work!"
"The website server of the soft alliance has never been attacked so intensively before, have we offended anyone in the past two days?" Da Fei looked at Liu Xiao, "I don't think it was like those zombie manipulators did it, we haven't sworn to stand up to them yet!"
"Don't panic, let me think about it!" Liu Xiao pinched his chin and paced twice, "If you want to offend, we have Hua Wei twice recently!"
"You mean, this is what Hua Wei did?" Da Fei asked.
"It's hard to say now!" Liu Xiao looked up at Da Fei, "By the way, how is the website server now?
"The server is now closed, and our people are analyzing the attack logs!" Da Fei shook his head, "The other party's attack methods are very powerful, if you want to say that our server security, it is absolutely first-class, but it has been almost succeeded by the other party several times, and the opponent is definitely not simple!"
"Who did it? Why?" Liu Xiao had two question marks in his heart, it is said that Huawei is a large international enterprise, even if its business is frustrated, it will not do such a thing; if it is a zombie manipulator, it seems that it does not make sense, and the soft alliance has not yet done anything to the zombie computer!
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu!" the person in charge of the business department of the soft alliance pushed open the door of the laboratory in a panic, "Oh no!"
"What's wrong?" Liu Xiaozhi frowned, what happened here!
"Our phones are about to be blown up, just now more than ten calls, all of which say that our products have been attacked!" The person in charge of the business department calmed down and said: "The problem is that we have a firewall before, and today it seems that it was suddenly attacked by a virus, resulting in confusion of firewall rules, many enterprises using this product, the network is intermittent, and the business has fallen into a semi-paralyzed state!"
"Damn!" Liu Xiao couldn't help but scold, and then said to Da Fei: "Da Fei, you go and find the details of this product, as well as those who have participated in the design of this product, you can find it together, and we will gather in the conference room in a while, and everyone will discuss it collectively to see where the problem is!"
"Okay, I'll go!" Da Fei replied and walked out of the laboratory quickly.
Liu Xiao said to the person in charge of the business department: "You go and stabilize those customers, let them use the backup communication scheme of their respective enterprise networks first, don't use our firewall for the time being, and tell them that we will provide technical support within 24 hours!"
The person in charge of the business department didn't dare to delay, and hurried according to what Liu Xiao said!
is a fool, Liu Xiao also knows that these two things today are definitely related, but he really can't figure out who is attacking the Soft Alliance, and why he is attacking the Soft Alliance.
When he came to the conference room, Da Fei was already discussing with the group of technicians. Liu Xiao looked at everyone, "How about it?"
"How can it be so fast, looking for a vulnerability from the design data is simply looking for a needle in a haystack, and if you want to find it, you will already find it!" Da Feiyan gritted his teeth, "I have sent someone to the nearest company to pick up those products that have problems, and we need to extract virus samples to analyze the vulnerabilities!"
Liu Xiao went to the table and picked up the information of the product, this is an enterprise-level hardware firewall issued by SoftAlliance more than a year ago, about more than 3,000 copies were sold, and the company has always retained the project team of this product, responsible for the follow-up development and upgrading of the product. Liu Xiao flipped through the technical parameters behind him, and on the surface, he couldn't see the problem at all!
"This is definitely coming at us!" Da Fei still looked furious, "I have seen a lot of viruses, but this kind of virus that specializes in dealing with firewalls rarely appears!***, if I find the guy who did the black thing to us, I will never spare him!"
"Let's look at it like this!" Liu Xiao thought for a while and said, "Let's divide into two groups, one group starts with the virus, finds the loopholes of the product, and proposes a reinforcement plan; the other group tries to put aside the loopholes of the product itself and come up with a plan from other aspects to prevent the virus from infecting more products!"
Everyone nodded, and at that moment, Liu Xiao and Da Fei cooperated with one of the backbones who designed this product at that time, and the three of them were responsible for coming up with solutions from other aspects first, and the rest of them were waiting for the poisoned products to be delivered.
Liu Xiao was not at ease, so he called Wei Gang again and asked him to help him pay attention to the virus in this regard, as long as the virus sample was captured, everything would be easy!
"Mr. Liu, the programs of our firewall are all in the chip, and they are protected by a unique encrypted reading and writing method, only our own management program can read and modify the firewall rules, and it is impossible for ordinary viruses to enter the chip. The technician who designed the firewall design analyzed, "Since the firewall rules are chaotic now, it is very likely that our reading and writing methods have been cracked, so that the virus will enter the chip and destroy the firewall rules." ”
"You mean that as long as we change the new reading and writing methods, we can prevent the virus from infecting the chip?" Liu Xiao immediately reacted.
The man shook his head, "All of our firewall products have been designed with the possibility of virus infection in mind, and they will reserve more than two solutions, but this product that is poisoned now did not have a reserved solution at that time, that is, it does not support changes in the way of reading and writing!"
"Damn!" Da Fei exploded at that time, "Damn, which bastard is in charge of this product, how did it pass the company's audit at that time?"
The man coughed twice in embarrassment, "This product is in charge of Vice President Lan, and he said at the time that this encrypted reading and writing method was designed by the boss himself, and it is impossible for anyone to crack it, so there is no reserved solution!"
"Damn!" Da Fei slammed his fist on the table, very helpless, those people are now in the game, where to find them, they can't be angry.
There is no problem with all the products, only this product does not reserve a backup plan, something happened, Liu Xiao at this moment, and even came up with an absurd idea, either the boss escaped from prison, or the boss and his accomplices, hidden very deeply, he was not dug up last time, and now he is here to avenge the boss.
