Chapter 248: A Monk from Outside
Bonev nodded very seriously, "If it weren't for Mr. Liu's prompting, I wouldn't have noticed this information from the American side." Although there is no direct evidence, based on the information I have obtained so far, I am eight points sure that 140 did it!"
Liu Xiao stood up and grabbed his head, this time the opponent's origin is too big, this is not a guerrilla scattered, let alone a shrimp soldier and crab general, 140 is the most professional information attack force in the world, each member can be alone, these guys are tired of who they want to trouble, it's really no problem. Liu Xiao has a headache, it seems that his good luck has come to an end, in the past few days, he first caused a big trouble with IND, and now it is 140 who has come to the door to find trouble, and he has arrived home.
Bonev didn't understand Liu Xiao's expression, in his opinion, it was Russia that provoked 140, and he was not in a hurry, and he didn't know what kind of heart Liu Xiao was responsible for. "Mr. Liu!" Bonev stood up, ready to leave, "I'll go back first, and if there is any follow-up development, I will inform you in time." Don't worry, we won't just give up on this!", Bonev deliberately accentuated the tone of the last sentence to show that he hadn't taken 140 in his eyes yet.
Liu Xiao smiled bitterly in his heart, it would be nice if it was really that simple, but what he was most worried about was that the real purpose of 140 was not in Russia, but in the soft alliance. "Okay, I'll send you!" Liu Xiao couldn't say this, so he had to beat his spirit and send Bonev out of the hotel.
"It seems that we have to hurry up and go back to China to prepare!" Liu Xiao stood at the bottom of the hotel, looking dull, and only after half a sound did he turn around and enter the hotel, and went straight to Steko's people, asking him to arrange for him to return to Haicheng in the shortest possible time.
US Strategic Command at this time
"Who else has a way!" asked a Caucasian American, dressed in a colonel's uniform, as he walked up and down the hall.
There were more than 30 people sitting in the hall, all of them did not make a sound, everyone looked at the computer in front of them, but there was no movement in their hands, and the expressions on their faces were also very strange, some were angry, some were puzzled, some were frustrated, and some were helpless.
The colonel's face was also helpless, he was the head of this group of people, these thirty or so people in the hall were the top network masters in Unit 140, and now everyone had done their best, but there was still no way to restore the Pentagon's website. Everything will have a root, but this time the thing is strange here, it is completely unreasonable, the website's server is completely normal, there is no trace of tampering, and the domain name has not been hijacked, but after the user opens the Pentagon's website, what is displayed is not the content on the server. The military even sent people to check the DNS server and the Internet root server, but there were still no clues, and everyone was helpless.
The Colonel, who paced the hall twice and then slammed his fist on the pillar, was the man who claimed that he could disarm a nation in just three months, and now no leader of a nation surrendered to him, but he himself was disarmed by someone else, and he did not even know who his opponent was. Such a proud person has been put on this job, and the depression in his heart can be imagined.
"Smack!" The door to the hall was suddenly pushed open, and the guards at the door shouted, "General Ponser has arrived!" and several people walked in. The previous one walked with a majestic spirit, looking full of energy, and his eyes were also very sharp, probably in his fifties, and he had five stars on each shoulder, and it seemed that he was General Ponser, the commander of the US Strategic Command.
The people in the hall quickly stood up and saluted General Ponther.
Panther raised his hand and saluted, and then said, "Colonel Donkin of the intelligence group has important information to report!"
As soon as Pantser's voice fell, a person walked out behind him and said loudly: "According to the information and analysis of our intelligence group, the attacker who intruded into our Pentagon website this time is very likely to be the IND agency! The previous infiltration test of Russia's strategic-level protection system in the name of IND may have been known to the IND agency, and the reason why they launched this invasion is to punish and warn us. ”
"This can't be!" The colonel in the hall before immediately expressed doubt, "The actions of our attack group are seamless, there are no valuable clues left at all, no one can trace us, you are doubting the ability of our attack group!"
"I don't have doubts!" Colonel Donkin was lukewarm, "but I didn't like you from the beginning. Colonel Reilly, I have advised you a long time ago, don't provoke IND, you can do anything, but you just can't get involved with IND, it's dangerous. ”
"Colonel Don King, please pay attention to your identity, you are from Unit 140 of the United States, not IND!" Colonel Reilly was already very depressed, but now seeing that Tang Jin has been growing his ambition to destroy his prestige, his heart is even more angry.
"I know who I am!" Colonel Donkin straightened his chest and pointed to the rank on his epaulette, "but I also want to ask you to pay attention, please don't question the capabilities of our intelligence group!"
"Don't quarrel!" General Ponser finally spoke, "we are all the same army, we are here for freedom and for the sake of America, then, when the country needs you, you should face it together, instead of blaming each other." I don't want to see this situation in the future!"
"Yes!" Donkin and Reilly stood upright, assuring General Ponse, but it was clear that neither of them had lost their temper.
General Ponse has a headache, Unit 140 is functionally an information-based combat unit, but she is not full of network experts, because this force is also responsible for other missions, and the Strategic Command has high expectations for her, so Unit 140 has several departments, in addition to hackers, this force also gathers the top experts from the CIA, the National Security Agency, the FBI and other departments, and even some computer experts transferred by allies. These people are all geniuses, and they are also unique figures in their previous work departments, the elite of the elite, and it is easy to bring these elites together, but it is really difficult to bring them together into a flawless whole.
General Ponser held back his temper and said: "I think Colonel Donkin's analysis is very credible, although we are the strongest information-based attack force in the world, but the IND agency has been able to run rampant on the network for many years, and there must be his superiority, so we can't take it lightly." Who else does Colonel Reilly think of an opponent in this world who can make us all deflated?"
Reilly didn't say anything this time, although he didn't want to admit losing to IND, but losing to IND is better than losing to someone else.
"Colonel Donkin, since you've confirmed that it was IND, what's the solution?"
"The best thing to do is to get in touch with IND as soon as possible and explain the misunderstanding clearly!" Donkin seemed to know that Reilly was going to oppose this proposal, so after finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Reilly, not giving Reilly a chance to object, and continued: "I promise God, this is for the sake of America!"
"Okay!" General Ponse made a direct decision, "It's up to you to do this, within an hour, the Pentagon's website must be restored!"
"Yes, General!" Donkin accepted the order, but there was no expression of joy on his face.
"Colonel Reilly, what are you thinking about what we should do next?" Panther turned his gaze back to Reilly.
"We must not stop the penetration tests on the strategy and defense system, and we will continue to conduct tests in this area, and we will increase the frequency of tests if necessary!" Reilly's face was more resolute, and it seemed that he would not give up because of this failure.
General Ponser nodded, "It must continue, you have done a good job, you have not forgotten the mission of our army." Defense is just an excuse for others to see, and what we really need is the ability to attack, to crush all enemies in future information wars. Therefore, everything that stands in our way must be crushed, completely crushed!"
"Yes!" Reilly finally got some spirits, and General Ponser's words gave him great motivation and support.
"But your strategy must be adjusted somewhat!" "Remember, there can be no more actions that may lead to conflict with IND in the future!" Also, instead of infiltrating the strategic level systems of various countries, it is better to directly attack their roots, as long as the fundamentals of strategies and systems are gone, all strategies and systems will collapse!"
Reilly understood what General Ponther meant, he was going to attack the Soft Alliance himself. Reilly felt a little aggrieved, he was the commander of the most powerful information force in the world, and his enemies should be the information troops of those military powers, not a small security agency, and the offensive and defensive sides were so unbalanced, Reilly felt uninterested.
"Remember, you can't underestimate the enemy this time!" how could General Ponse not see what Reilly was thinking, "If they can make a strategic-level system, it means that they are superior!"
"Yes!" Reilly straightened his face, putting away his contempt.
"General!" Tang Jin next to him suddenly asked: "What about the IND matter, just forget it?"
There was also a hint of anger between General Ponser's eyebrows, but he finally held back, "IND is just a spy agency, they have no ambitions and will not pose a threat to us, we will have to clean them up sooner or later, but not now, but after cleaning up the Soft Alliance!" , General Ponser created this 140 unit back then, in order to run rampant on the network and deter all enemies, but he didn't expect that now he just made a few gimmicks, and regardless of the unfathomable IND agency, it is the inconspicuous soft alliance in front of him, their strategic level system has already killed the 140 offensive firepower, so the strategic level of the soft alliance must die.
"I see!" Donkin nodded, "but I have a suspicion, and I hope the general will pay attention!"
"You say!" Ponse looked at Don Jin, he was still very satisfied with Tang Jin's information, Tang Jin was the calmest person in this army.
Don Jin's tone was very cautious, "General, this time we are just taking the name of IND, and they immediately call out the most powerful military force on the earth, not afraid at all, and are extremely arrogant......;
"What do you mean?"
"I suspect that IND has a private connection with the Soft Alliance!" Don Kim looked at Ponther, "Or rather, they're just a nest of snakes and rats!"
Ponse bowed slightly, the concern that Don Jin said was not impossible.
"It's a bit ridiculous that the French are trying to rely on the soft alliance to eliminate the IND, even if all the security agencies in the world are added together, they are still inferior to us, let alone the IND! But if the IND really wants to be with the soft alliance, then we must think carefully when we attack the soft alliance!" Donkin said what he meant.
"Reilly!" General Ponser turned to look at Reilly, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Don't worry, General!, I know what to do!" Reilly, apparently confident, "I'll take care of everything!"
"Then go your separate ways!" General Panther looked at Reilly's expression and breathed a sigh of relief, "For freedom, for America!" General Panther used his own mantra to motivate his subordinates.
"For freedom! For America!" Reilly and Don Jin shouted the slogan aloud, and then went their separate ways.
Steko's people quickly arranged a ticket for Liu Xiao to return to China, Liu Xiao packed his things and followed Steko's people to the airport. Steko's people really had some tricks, and they got a special pass, and the two of them went directly into the waiting rest area without going through the security check.
Steko's people saw that there was still more than half an hour left, and said, "Let's have a drink in the coffee house next to us first, and I'll personally send you on the plane later!"
"Okay, I'm sorry for you!" Liu Xiao handed the box in his hand to Steko's people, "You go inside and sit first, I'll go to the bathroom!"
"Okay!" Steko's man dragged Liu Xiao's box into the coffee house.
Liu Xiao saw the sign of the bathroom from afar, so he walked over, and after entering, Liu Xiao suddenly found that there was a familiar back in front of him, and he couldn't help but wonder a little, because he couldn't remember any other acquaintances he had in Russia.
Approaching the urinal, Liu Xiao looked sideways at the man, and suddenly reacted, isn't this the hacker who tinkered with the ATM ATM?
After the hair finished peeing, he was about to pull his pants, but when he turned around, he just met Liu Xiao's gaze, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and he forgot about the action of pulling his pants.
"Coincidentally!" Liu Xiao habitually muttered in Chinese, and seeing that Mao Zi was still stunned, he muttered again in English.
"Qiao! Qiao!" The hairy man came back to his senses, hurriedly pulled up his pants, and then ran out of the bathroom like last time, as if he were in a hurry.
Liu Xiao shook his head, pulled on his pants, went outside to wash his hands, and walked towards the coffee house. Walking to the door of the coffee house, Liu Xiao saw the Mao Zi hacker again, he was sitting in the rest area, and it was the rest area of the flight to Haicheng.
"No, isn't this Maozi going to harm the ATM in Haicheng?" Liu Xiao felt a little funny in his heart.
The Maozi hacker found that Liu Xiao was standing there without moving, just looking at himself, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, and after hesitating for a moment, he stood up, ready to pick up his bag and change his position.
When Liu Xiao saw it, he quickly pointed to the sign of the flight, which meant that he was also going to Haicheng.
Mao Zi Hacker understood at a glance, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and threw his backpack back to the ground, at this time, looking at Liu Xiao's expression, Mao Zi Hacker also felt funny, and couldn't help but show a row of big white teeth.
Liu Xiao took two steps over and came to Mao Zi's side of the hacker, "Qiao, are you going to Haicheng too?"
"Yes!" Mao Zi Hacker nodded, "Are you from Haicheng?"
"Sort of!" Liu Xiao smiled and nodded, and sat next to the Maozi hacker, he was a little curious about the Maozi hacker's intention to go to Haicheng.
"You also know hackers, right?" Mao Zi Hacker asked, and suddenly shook his head again, "You must know hackers, I was just too nervous that day, and I fell for you!"
"Understand a little bit!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Your skills are good, and it was the first time I saw your invasion method that day, which was very interesting and special!"
"My name is Victor!" Maozi Hacker held out his hand, "Nice to meet you!"
"My name is Liu Xiao!" Liu Xiao also stretched out his hand, "If you need help after you arrive in Haicheng, you can contact me!"
"That's great!" Victor was happy when he heard it, "My Chinese is so bad, I went to China for the first time, and I wanted to meet a Chinese friend!"
"What is Mr. Victor going to Haicheng for?
"I'm looking for a job!" Victor smiled, "I heard that the Soft Alliance is in Haicheng, I want to try my luck with the Soft Alliance!"
Liu Xiao was very surprised, he didn't expect that the soft alliance could still attract the attention of Russian hackers, "Didn't you contact the soft alliance? For example, make a phone call first, or send a cover letter?"
"I've been contacted!" Victor's expression suddenly became a little confused, "They said they were still recruiting, but they are not recruiting foreigners at the moment! I can't understand why SoftAlliance is a world-class company, so it rejects foreigners so much!"
Liu Xiao smiled, this rule was set by Liu Xiao, he didn't exclude foreigners, it was Liu Xiao who thought that there was no need to recruit foreign masters to come in at present, and the soft alliance had stabilized for a few days, and the corporate culture had just formed an atmosphere, but it had not yet become an inherent tradition, so he didn't want foreign hacker culture to enter the soft alliance. Wu Feifei's evil thoughts before, to a certain extent, are not unrelated to the invasion of foreign professional hacker culture. Liu Xiao still likes the typical Chinese-style chivalrous hacker culture of killing wolves in his heart, and he doesn't want anyone to follow Wu Feifei's old path.
"Since they have all rejected you, then what are you ......" Liu Xiao looked at Victor.
"I think it's because they haven't seen my technology, I'm going to let them see my technology with their own eyes, and I'm sure they'll change their decision!" Victor's tone was full of stubbornness.
"There are many security agencies in the world, why do you have to choose the soft alliance?" Liu Xiao asked with a smile.
"I've been following this organization for a long time, and from the moment they came up with the concept of strategic, I knew that there was going to be a lot going on in this business, and I wanted to work in such a creative company!" Victor said.
Liu Xiao shook his head, it seems that it is difficult to persuade Victor to turn back, Liu Xiao was thinking about whether to persuade him, when the people from Steko over there came over and whispered in Liu Xiao's ear: "Danilov is here, he has a few words to say to Mr. Liu!"
Liu Xiao had no choice but to stand up, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to Victor, "I just happened to know someone from the Soft Alliance, this is my business card, after you arrive in Haicheng, you take my business card to the Soft Alliance." I believe they will give you a chance, but whether you can stay in the soft alliance or not, it depends on yourself! If you have any difficulties, you can also call the above number to contact me, I will help you, but one thing I must remind you, do not touch the ATM in China, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!"
After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he hurriedly followed Steko's people into the coffee house.
