Chapter 248: The Pawn Before the Horse
"It's inconvenient to attend anything!", as soon as Liu Xiao's words fell, the door of the office was pushed open again, and Fang Guokun walked in with a smile.
When Liu Xiao saw it, he immediately stood up, "Brother Fang, why are you here, sit down!", since Feng Ming's kidnapping incident, Liu Xiao's attitude towards Fang Guokun has obviously improved, this is a life-saving benefactor.
MM looked at Liu Xiao, "Mr. Liu, can you send this reply?"
"There's no hurry about this, I'll talk about it later, you can get busy first!" Liu Xiao sent MM away, turned around and asked Fang Guokun, "Why do you have time to come to Haicheng today to find me something?"
"It's a bit of official business, I'll come and see you by the way!" Fang Guokun sat down with a smile, "A lot of things have happened recently, I have a question I want to ask you!"
"Brother Fang, if you have any questions, just ask!" Liu Xiao went over to pour water for Fang Guokun.
"Have you heard of IND?" Fang Guokun asked.
Liu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "I read the newspaper just now, and I just saw this name, but it's the first time I've heard of it, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing!" Fang Guokun took the water with a smile and took a sip, "Then you must know that Country F was defrauded of 2.1 billion by IND!"
Liu Xiao nodded, "Today's newspapers are talking about this matter, and it's hard to know it." ”
"What do you think about this matter?" Fang Guokun looked at Liu Xiao.
"What about opinions...... Liu Xiao pondered, "I just think this thing is a bit too incredible, country F invited a network security consultant so hastily, and hastily passed a security system plan in the clouds, which led to the final big mistake." I'm a little puzzled, isn't there no one in country F who understands, isn't there anyone who has found the problem here from beginning to end?"
"The Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Intelligence, these two departments are extraordinary, and their regulations are very rigorous and meticulous, so how can they act hastily?" Fang Guokun smiled.
"Since it's prudent, how can you get into such a big deal?" Liu Xiao asked rhetorically.
"What do you say?" Fang Guokun also asked rhetorically.
Liu Xiao frowned, "Then what do you mean ......", Liu Xiao shook his head and said: "No, IND is not so capable, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Intelligence are not ordinary departments, they are not so easy to fool!"
"Quite the opposite!" Fang Guokun smiled, "This ind is really a tooth extracted from the tiger's mouth." Fang Guokun put down the water glass, "We got some general information, saying that IND controlled the entire network of country F, monitored and modified the network data of the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Defense, and sent a large amount of fake information to them, which caused the whole country of country F to believe in that Bobby McKinnon." ”
"No!" Liu Xiao is still familiar with network technology, "Control a country's network?", Liu Xiao waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "This is impossible, it is technically impossible to achieve at all!"
"You are a network expert, I believe what you say!" Fang Guokun smiled, "Actually, I am the same as you, very incomprehensible, since country F does not act rashly, and ind does not have the ability to control a country's network, then how did these 2.1 billion yuan be moved? Country F will never joke about this, right?"
Liu Xiao shook his head, such a shameful thing should not be a joke, and he also dealt with the top person in charge of the Ministry of Intelligence, as well as Lieutenant General Ross, who had the highest voice for the next Minister of Defense, and the formation was too big.
Fang Guokun continued, "I heard that the World Information Security Forum is going to hold an emergency security seminar in country F, which will not only be attended by well-known security agencies, but also the heads of cyber security and cyber intelligence departments from many countries, especially country F, who will introduce the detailed process of the incident at the conference, provide all the data evidence involved, and even bring experts to their intelligence and cyber security departments for on-site inspections. ”
Liu Xiao was a little moved by this, "You can't be wrong with this information?"
Fang Guokun shook his head with a smile, "What do you say?"
"In this case, their seminar is a bit interesting, and I want to find out what the hell is going on!" Liu Xiao said yes, but he was more concerned about whether he could go to the scene to investigate. Because the origin of the name of the wild goose was mentioned in the information of stepping on the snow without a trace, he wanted to verify it in person to see if the wild goose gramophon must leave a mark every time he committed a crime, but no one could find out.
"When I came in just now, what were you saying that it was inconvenient to attend, what was it to attend?" Fang Guokun asked.
Liu Xiao slapped his head, "What else could it be, it's the seminar you said, they sent an invitation letter to the soft alliance, I thought it was nothing to look at, so I didn't plan to join in the fun! You wait first!" Liu Xiao stood up after speaking, pulled open the door and called the front desk MM over again, "You reply to the World Information Security Forum, just say that our soft alliance is in attendance!"
Turning back, Liu Xiao smiled, "If you say that, I have to take a look and see what kind of magic this IND has." ”
"Figure it out, don't forget to go back and tell me, I'm also wondering!" Fang Guokun smiled.
"That's it!" Liu Xiao responded, and then said with heavy eyebrows: "You have a lot of resources in your hands, so have you heard of this IND before, can you give me a brief introduction, so that I can have a general understanding!"
"IND is known as the world's No. 1 cyber espionage agency, no one knows what channels their intelligence is obtained, but they are all extremely heavy information, because of this, no one dares to touch them easily, it can be said that they are the uncrowned king of the intelligence community, no matter who they are, they have to be afraid of three points. Their person in charge is called Yan Gramophon, highly skilled, in and out of the key networks of various countries as if into a no-man's land, people in the circle say that every time he succeeds, he will leave an exclusive mark, who can find this mark can catch Yan Gramophon. But the wild goose is ghostly, not to mention finding this mark, even if you go in and out of your server hundreds of times, you may not be able to know!" Fang Guokun shook his head with a smile, "IND can be said to be a big nightmare for the intelligence departments of various countries, everyone hates it so much, someone tried to trap them before, but unfortunately in the end, it was rectified by IND, and in the end, no one mentioned it anymore!"
Fang Guokun said that all the information mentioned in the snow without a trace was also mentioned, Liu Xiao didn't get anything new, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and said: "Then this time country F is making such a big fuss, it seems that it is ready to end ind!" Liu Xiao was stunned and said with a smile, "It's fun to watch now! I haven't even figured out how to deal with those guys from the intelligence department of country F, and ind ran in front of me!"
Fang Guokun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You kid still have a grudge, you made a lot of noise some time ago, if you hadn't messed up Country F, this ind wouldn't have the opportunity to take advantage of it, haha!"
"It's not like you did it yourself!" Liu Xiao was a little regretful, "People sit at home, and disasters fall from the sky, if you don't send someone to forcibly rescue you, my life will be explained." People don't offend me, I don't offend people, this is my consistent principle, even if I don't hold grudges, then I have to fart to let them know that it smells!"
"Look at your appearance, your blood is not small!" Fang Guokun smiled, "If anyone provokes you, I don't think it's much better than messing with ind!"
Liu Xiao's face changed, and he stopped talking, he felt that Fang Guokun was warning himself, and he had already put himself and IND together.
"Okay!" Fang Guokun stood up and said with a smile: "I still have to deal with some official business, and the next time I go back to Haicheng, I will come to see you." Fang Guokun took two steps and said: "Also, if you figure out how the 2.1 billion was taken away, don't forget to tell me, there has always been a question mark in your heart, it's very uncomfortable, hehe!"
Liu Xiao didn't keep it, after sending Fang Guokun away, he slapped himself in the mouth, "Woe comes from the mouth, disaster comes from the mouth, why don't you always have a long memory!"
When he got home in the evening, Liu Xiao turned on the computer, found Treading Snow without a trace, and told him about the 2.1 billion that IND swept away from Country F.
"I was going to go to country F, Fang Guokun said that IND controlled all the network communications of the intelligence department and the Ministry of Defense of country F, I was a little unconvinced, and decided to go to country F to learn the ins and outs of the matter. Master, you have great powers and a good understanding of cyber espionage agencies, you say, their energy can really be so great?" Liu Xiao still couldn't believe Fang Guokun's words, and he asked Treading Snow without a trace for verification again.
It took a long time to come back after stepping on the snow without a trace, and it seemed to be a little unexpected, "Are you going to go to country F?"
Liu Xiao replied: "I didn't plan to go, but now I'm interested, after all, I'm also a hacker." ”
"Then you go, it's good to have a look!" "Treading Xue Wuxian didn't object, "But I guess you're going to be disappointed, you've been analyzing my offensive data for three years, and you haven't even figured out my position until now, it's not realistic to want to find out the traces of the wild goose in country F!"
Liu Xiao was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Master, have you fought with Yan Liusheng?"
"Half a catty and eight taels!" This reply from stepping on the snow without a trace is equivalent to answering Liu Xiao's question.
Liu Xiao suddenly cooled down by half, if the level of the wild goose gramophone is really the same level as the snow without a trace, then he can only go to see the excitement this time, and it can even be said that with this idle time, he might as well stay at home and study the offensive data of the snow without a trace, and get the snow without a trace, which is equivalent to basically getting the wild goose gramophonic.
Liu Xiao suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "The technology used by the wild goose phonograph is also far higher than the current knowledge structure?"
"Yes!" Treadsnow didn't deny without a trace, "unless you know what kind of technology we use, you'll never be able to catch any clues!"
Liu Xiao sighed, "It seems that I can only go to see the excitement this time!", Liu Xiao couldn't help but go, because he had already promised Fang Guokun to find out the ins and outs of the matter. Liu Xiao knew that Fang Guokun was using himself, but there was no way, who let himself owe someone his life.
"It's good to see, aren't you going to engage in that multi-echelon defense system, this conference will be attended by the heads of the security departments of many countries, just to get some information you want to know from their mouths, and even have the opportunity to cooperate!"
Liu Xiao smiled helplessly, "Even if you come up with this system, you may not be able to prevent IND!"
"You're wrong to say that, no matter how good the rules are, there are loopholes, no matter how advanced the system is, there will be flaws, there is no absolute perfection in this world, only relative advancement!"
This time, Liu Xiao is energetic again, what he is most confused about now is that he doesn't know how much he is still from stepping on the snow without a trace, and the three-year chase has made Liu Xiao a little exhausted!
"It's the same rule, some people have become super hackers, some people have become security experts, most people will only follow the rules, and only a very few people can be above the rules!"
Liu Xiao sat there, thinking about the words of stepping on the snow without a trace, he felt that stepping on the snow without a trace was reminding himself of something, above the rules, not restricted by the rules, that must be to find a huge loophole in the rules, or a fundamental loophole, so that he could get rid of the shackles of the rules. Does this mean that as long as you find this loophole, you can also be out of the rules? At that time, you will probably be able to catch up with Treading Snow without a Trace and Wild Goose Voice.
After being stunned in front of the computer for at least half an hour, Liu Xiao came back to his senses and saw that he had already left without a trace in the snow, so he hurriedly replied, "Thank you, I think I understand something!"
Because he was just going to join in the fun, Liu Xiao originally wanted Shang Yue to attend this meeting on his behalf, but later considering that Shang Yue had made too much trouble in country F before, and encountered Sidney, a master, Liu Xiao was afraid that Shang Yue would fall into the hands of country F if he had any tricks, so he finally decided to go by himself.
Country F attaches great importance to this meeting, as soon as Liu Xiao landed in country F, Liu Xiao was about to follow the flow of people to the exit of the station, and someone stood in front of him, and a large number of stars on his shoulders shook so that Liu Xiao couldn't open his eyes.
"It's Mr. Liu Xiao from the Soft Alliance, right?" someone stretched out his hand to Liu Xiao, "I'm Langdon!
Liu Xiao was surprised, this is a bit outrageous, he is not a political dignitary, let alone a state guest, how could such a large-tonnage figure come to receive it in person, to say that he was mistaken, but he directly said his name.
Liu Xiao stretched out his hand in confusion, "Hello, I'm Liu Xiao!"
"I heard Mr. Sidney mention you, he admired Mr. Liu's skills very much, and said that you were one of his teachers, which made me admire!" Langdon looked at Liu Xiao carefully, this was the first time he saw Liu Xiao's living person, and it didn't seem to be anything unusual, but he knew that it was this Liu Xiao in front of him, who made the chickens and dogs jump all over country F, if it weren't for that, country F wouldn't have fallen for it, Langdon hated it so much that the roots of his teeth hurt, but there was no way, there was no evidence, even if you knew that he did it, it wouldn't be useful," So when I learned that Mr. Liu would come to country F, I took the liberty to come to greet him, hoping that Mr. Liu Haihan!"
Liu Xiao waved his hand, "How come, I am very grateful to Mr. Langdon for his hospitality." But you can't take Mr. Sidney's words seriously, he praises me too much, in fact, I am a big straw bale who can blow and can't make it, and I am still a long way from Mr. Sidney, how can I be his teacher. Huh!"
"Mr. Liu is modest!" Langdon beckoned, and his car drove over, "Come, Mr. Liu, please get in the car, I will send you to the designated reception place of the conference, and by the way, I also want to give you an explanation about the last time we unsubscribed to your products!"
Liu Xiao hesitated and said, "Then thank you Mr. Langdon!", after speaking, he walked straight to the car, there was no way to go, and when he arrived at someone's territory, he couldn't help himself.
