Chapter 235: Hacker Solo

Richard quickly figured everything out, and came to report to Langdon: "I have found out, Huawei is indeed secretly selling soft alliance products at low prices to many telecom operators, and the current transaction has been completed, according to my investigation just now, there are 17 in total, the number is not very many, according to the proportion, it is basically about 5%!"

Langdon nodded, "So, the soft alliance really has this preferential policy for Warwick!"

"Yes!" Richard nodded, "and I also found some information about the previous struggle between Huawei and Huawei, before they became partners, before they became partners, the software alliance had several times embarrassed the security business director of Huawei in public, and also sabotaged a cooperation project between Huawei and China Telecom with a total value of tens of billions of yuan." ”

"Huawei occupies an absolute leadership position in the world in the field of telecommunications equipment, and we can't fight the soft alliance, maybe it can be explained, because it is not our territory after all, but Huawei can't fight the soft alliance, it is indeed a bit of a nest!" Langdon said.

"That's right!" Richard nodded, "I think so too! This is definitely a good opportunity for us, as long as we can successfully convince Huawei, then we can not only get strategic-level products, but also sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, let them fight in their nests! Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we can't plot against Huawei, as long as we release the news that the soft alliance connived at Huawei to secretly peddle strategic products, it will be enough for him to have a headache for the soft alliance, and those agents will not let go of the soft alliance!"

"Hmm!" Langdon mused, and what Langdon said was exactly what he had in mind, "this is indeed an opportunity, but we should tell the General about it beforehand and see what he means!"

"Without further ado, we'll go to the general now!" Richard was a little impatient, he had already planted several heels on the soft alliance, and he had lost face, and he had been trying to find a chance to save face.

"Okay!" Langdon nodded, "You get all the information in order, and I'll contact the general!"

As soon as the words fell, a "report!", a signal soldier pushed open Langdon's door, "General Langdon, the general invites you over, the conference room has a meeting!"

"Got it!" Langdon replied, looked back at Richard, and said, "Just right, then take advantage of the meeting and report this matter to the general!"

The two walked into the conference room together, and found that several other main figures of the intelligence department were also present, and the two went to their respective positions to sit down, and the person in charge walked in, and when he saw Richard, the person in charge couldn't help frowning a little, he was disappointed with Richard's performance during this time, so he did not inform Richard of this meeting.

"General!" Langdon stood up, "Richard has got an extremely important piece of information today and wants to report it to you!"

"Which one?" the person in charge looked at Richard.

Richard hurriedly said, "It's about the Soft Alliance......!

"You wait a minute!" the person in charge interrupted Richard's words, and then looked at everyone, "Today I suddenly summoned everyone to a meeting, also for the sake of the soft alliance! Recently, because of the troubles of the soft alliance, the domestic network security situation is extremely unstable, and it is getting worse, although our intelligence department has also tried its best, but it has not been able to stabilize this situation. ”

The crowd looked at the person in charge, not knowing what he meant by these words.

"This matter has also attracted the attention of the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Defense has also thought of a lot of ways to do this, I just got news from them, they have found a key person who can solve the current problem!" The person in charge looked around at everyone, and it could be seen from his expression that he was very confident in this key person of the Ministry of Defense.

"General!" Langdon looked at the person in charge, "who is it?"

"Have you heard the 'Solo'?" the person in charge looked at everyone with a smile.

Everyone almost fainted, and the solo piece is not unusual, not to mention a solo, a symphony, a grand ensemble, everyone has heard it, what does this have to do with the key figures?

Langdon suddenly remembered someone and stood up with a "whoosh", "Could it be that Gary McKinnon, who is known as the 'blackest hacker in history'?"

The person in charge smiled and nodded, "Langdon deserves to be well-read, and this is exactly the person I am talking about!"

"Isn't there a mistake in the Department of Defense?" Langdon looked puzzled, "Gary McKinnon is under close surveillance by the British, he is independently locked up on a farm, and no electronic devices are allowed within a two-mile radius of the entire farm, and the United States has always wanted to extradite McKinnon to the United States for trial, how can our Department of Defense invite him?"

"I don't think everyone knows much about this McKinnon, you can introduce his information to everyone, and when it's over, I'll explain your problem!" The person in charge smiled, he was now more and more appreciative of Langdon, that brain was like a computer, and he knew everything.

Langdon had no choice but to look around at everyone and said: "High-ranking figures in the U.S. military once made a very undignified remark in public, saying that they would 'put Gary McKinnon in the oil pot', so the U.S. military hates McKinnon to the core. Gary McKinnon is British, but at the same time, he is also called "the blackest hacker in history" and "the most dangerous military hacker to date" in the mouth of the US military. This person's greatest habit is to go to the US military computer every day to browse, and his access to the US military network is as easy as taking a walk in his own garden, and what is even more amazing is that he has actually maintained this habit for two years!"

According to the U.S. military's allegations, Gary McKinnon hacked into classified systems including the Pentagon, the Army, the Navy, and NASA, and even installed Trojan horses in these classified systems to facilitate his own access at any time, and downloaded various classified documents from these networks, including U.S. military movements and arms supply information. Gary McKinnon's attack also paralyzed the US Army's Washington Military District network and rendered it inoperable for three days, causing the network of the Naval Weapons Station in Earle, New Jersey to be shut down for a week, and even playing a prank by attacking the Army's computer network in Fort Myer, Virginia, successfully stealing all the privileges of the network administrator, and then deleting about 1,300 user accounts and encrypting the computers under its control, causing the military to lose control of these networks!"

Everyone showed surprised faces, this Gary McKinnon is too powerful.

In fact, it is not these achievements that make McKinnon famous, but the information he stole from classified American networks and his independent hacking style. McKinnon is a UFO fan, he first hacked into the US secret network, just because he found a lot of information about UFOs, all from the US secret network, he entered the secret network in order to find the real evidence of the existence of aliens. Later, he actually found a picture from the NASA server in the United States, which was a silver-white dish, McKinnon was convinced that this was the so-called UFO, and he believed that aliens did exist, but a lot of information was deliberately covered up by the American military, so he began a more frantic invasion to find more evidence for his conclusion. ”

No one knows whether he finally found evidence of the existence of aliens, but he did find something more interesting, McKinnon said that he found evidence that the U.S. military deliberately limited cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements, he said that the United States in 2000, has mastered the use of anti-gravity to obtain energy directly from the vacuum, this technology, can allow mankind to get rid of dependence on oil, but the United States in order to control its position in the world economy, this technology is blocked. ”

"Gary McKinnon thought his hacking skills were unmatched, so he came up with a screen name called 'Solo'. Shortly after 911, McKinnon hacked a U.S. military network, writing in a message that the 911 terrorist attacks were a coordinated incident, criticizing U.S. foreign policy and supporting terrorism, saying that the U.S. security system was deeply flawed and threatening to continue to cause chaos. ”

It was this move that made the U.S. military determined to bring McKinnon to justice. Because he was able to easily intrude into the secret network of the US side every time, McKinnon lost his vigilance a little, and during one intrusion, he did not use any disguise, and as a result, he was tracked to his real location by US security experts, and was arrested!"

After Langdon finished this introduction, everyone was even more surprised, is this still a human, I really underestimated hackers before, it turns out that hackers can be so powerful.

"General!" Langdon looked at the person in charge, "The United States has always wanted to extradite McKinnon, but Britain has not dared to pass due to the pressure of the domestic public and public opinion, and the Ministry of Defense really has a way to invite McKinnon here?"

The person in charge waved his hand, "That's impossible, even if the Ministry of Defense can invite McKinnon, we don't dare to use him, this is the most powerful military hacker in history!"

"Then ......," Langdon was a little confused.

"A lot of people know McKinnon, but they don't know that McKinnon also has a brother, Bobby McKinnon, who is also a master hacker, who is the director of security at a British cybersecurity company and the general counsel of the British Cyber Security Agency, and is currently the only person who is allowed to approach Gary McKinnon. The person in charge smiled.

"What do you mean, the Department of Defense has invited Bobby McKinnon?" Langdon asked, surprised that the Department of Defense had also opened up his face this time, and even borrowed experts from other countries.

"Yes!" the person in charge smiled, "Bobby McKinnon will not be the UK's cyber security consultant in the future, but our country F!"

Langdon Khan, it turned out to be someone else's corner.

"Langdon, tell me, with McKinnon's strength, can you deal with Liu Xiao?" the person in charge asked Langdon for his meaning.

Langdon shook his head, "This is difficult to compare, some hackers are good at defending, some hackers are good at attacking, this is not measured by the record, Kevin Mitnick, who was a sensation back then, his record is not inferior to McKinnon at all, and in the end, didn't he also fall into the hands of Tsutomu Shimomura?"

"Then do you think that with McKinnon's level, will he be able to cause trouble for the Soft Alliance?" the person in charge asked again.

This time, Langdon pondered for a moment, then nodded, "This may be possible!", but Langdon added, "But I always think that McKinnon is not as powerful as the legend!"

"Oh?" the person in charge was a little puzzled, "Why?"

"As we all know, the United States spends as much as $30 billion a year on cybersecurity, which is many times more than the 'Manhattan Project' that made the atomic bomb back then. I've read all the information about McKinnon before, and I don't think he is as powerful as the US accusations suggest, and the reason why the US side has blown McKinnon so outrageously is just to find a step down for their own incompetence, and they are just trying to kill chickens to show monkeys and warn other hackers who are eyeing the US secret network!"

"What do you think?" said the person in charge, looking at Langdon.

"Yes!" Langdon nodded, "I don't think we can expect too much from this McKinnon, we still have to rely on ourselves." ”

"You have some truth in what you say!" the person in charge frowned, "But the problem is that the Ministry of Defense has invited this McKinnon, and it has specially designated our intelligence department to be responsible for full coordination and cooperate with McKinnon to stabilize the domestic network security situation!"

Langdon frowned and said, "Since you're here, there's no way, I'm just guessing by myself, what is McKinnon's strength, I'll know if I try it." If he really has a way to stabilize the current situation and can deal with Liu Xiao, then we will fully cooperate, if his strength is not good, we can't let go of our actions!"

The person in charge nodded first, then surprised, "What are we doing?"

"Richard!" Langdon winked at Richard.

Richard hurriedly stood up, "General, we got news from the customs today that Nell Company directly pulled back a batch of strategic-level products from China, which are genuine goods and are fully authorized to be activated. After investigation, this batch of goods was obtained from Huawei and Hua Wei, a partner of the soft alliance, and there was a contradiction between Huawei and the soft alliance, and they secretly peddled the strategic products of the soft alliance in private! I have discussed with General Langdon, and we can completely take advantage of the contradiction between Huawei and the soft alliance to get strategic products from Huawei and even provoke the internal struggle between Huawei and the soft alliance, as well as the contradiction between the agents and the soft alliance!"

"Yes!" Langdon looked at the person in charge, "I've thought about it, this is indeed an opportunity for us!"

"You say that there is a contradiction between Huawei and the Soft Alliance, but is it really based on solid evidence?" The person in charge is a little cautious, in case it can't be done, and then let the Soft Alliance bite him, he really can't bear it, Liu Xiao hasn't tossed himself these days, and he can't hold it anymore.

"There is no direct evidence, but they did have a conflict before!" Richard said.

Langdon interrupted Richard's words and said: "Liu Xiao is acting differently than ordinary people, I thought it might be a trap at first, but after a closer look, I found that everything was flawless, and Warwick's private peddling of soft alliance products is not a recent thing, which is not in line with Liu Xiao's style." In the past, every time Liu Xiao set a trap, he would throw a bait to lure people into taking the bait, but this time I couldn't see the bait at all, so I concluded that this should not be a trap. If we are afraid that it is a trap, we can not come forward, let Nell company talk to Huawei, no matter whether we can convince Huawei or not, we will not have a loss!"

The person in charge pinched his chin and thought for a while, "Okay, you go and contact the person in charge of Nell Company, and ask him to contact Hua Wei first to see what Hua Wei means!"

"Yes!" Richard saluted excitedly, finally having a chance to play on his own, looking at the iron face of the person in charge these days, he was almost sad to death.

"Report!" the signal soldier pushed the door in, "General, the Ministry of Defense has a message, in ten minutes, Lieutenant General Ross will bring an important guest to visit!"

"Got it!" the person in charge waved his hand, repulsed the signal soldier, and then stood up, "This matter will be done according to Langdon's words, prepare with both hands! Okay, the meeting is dismissed! Langdon, you go down with me, meet Lieutenant General Ross, and by the way, meet the legendary blackest hacker!No!" The person in charge suddenly laughed, "It's the younger brother of the solo!"
