Chapter 1803: Cobain Joins the War

"The Order is one of the toughest people I've ever seen, and to destroy them, we need to understand how they are now structured and how they act. The traditional CIA routine no longer worked, and the world began to change radically. Through satellites, telecommunications, and mobile audio-visual technologies, mankind has stepped into the starting point of the information highway, where anyone can participate and transform information into knowledge and power. It was in this situation that the Order began to rise. Tefnut said.

Lin Rui frowned and said, "I know that this mission has pointed to a computer criminal group of the Secret Society, and they are called the Ninth Group. Do you have any news from them?"

Tefnu nodded and replied, "The Ninth Group was originally a very extreme hacker group, and one of them was a very outstanding computer genius, a Russian named Phoenix, highly educated, but with extreme ideas, who had always hoped to use the financial resources of the Secret Society to make a scientific and technological exhibition.

This time, several of my intelligence agents were found and killed one by one, and it was because of this that they cracked our security network and got a glimpse of the information they needed, which is their only vulnerability. Our people have launched a tracing procedure, which finally locked them right in Russia, Severodvinsk. Combined with the information they had previously obtained, we have good reason to believe that they are trying to hack into Severodvinsk and obtain the code needed for the eventual decryption. ”

"They can't decipher the information they currently have without these codes?" Lin Rui frowned.

"It's impossible to unravel it, this encrypted file was specially researched by cIa. Unless they have the corresponding decryption code. Otherwise, even with a giant computer, it will not be able to crack it in a year. Tephnut shook his head.

Cobain scoffed, "Another fool who thinks passwords will be secure for a long time." I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't mean to offend, but to be honest, your appearance and acquaintance are completely inversely proportional. Because there is never a password in this world that cannot be cracked. ”

"Mr. Cobain, what do you think?" said Tephnut, looking at him.

Coben paused and continued: "I know this Phoenix, he used to do cyber blackmail, and he always chose some large groups. You know that almost every large multinational consortium is a financial force to be reckoned with.

The giants of the real conglomerates have never been afraid of any law, they have engaged in all kinds of illegal activities, and they have obtained huge amounts of money, and money laundering is the main task, which includes large investments in legal enterprises, and the transfer of large amounts of money in illegal transactions.

That's what Phoenix used to blackmail them. Moreover, secretly uploading viruses to the computers of these large enterprises can cause more serious losses than computer viruses, and can also hit opponents and paralyze all the normal operations of others due to malicious destruction of data. He was very accurate and vicious. The large consortia that he blackmailed did not dare to speak out at all because they were not clean.

But don't underestimate the power of these consortia and companies, they themselves are cutting-edge technology and research institutes. Last year, Apple's mobile phone password could make the FBI helpless, unable to solve it at all, and even had to go to court. Not to mention the high-level admin privileges and passwords within these giant enterprises. But Phoenix and his squad were always invincible. They are experts in computer viruses and codebreaking. ”

"I admit that, but at least our experts don't think they can beat our encryption algorithm anytime soon. That's why we have to find them in the shortest possible time and destroy this information in their hands. That's why we need your help. Tephnut replied.

Cobain shrugged and didn't speak.

Tefnut continued, "Another obstacle is that the Ninth Group is just a technical support team for the Order. They could not have acted alone, and they were protected by a group of armed members of the Order. And they are secretive, and it may be difficult for us to catch them except to take advantage of their attack on the Severodvinsk base. ”

Cobain thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I have a way." ”

"Tell me, what we need most is your advice. Lin Rui nodded.

"Take advantage of their invasion of Severodvinsk, trace their signals in reverse and find out their location in the shortest possible time. Raid this location and you will be able to take them out in one fell swoop. Cobain replied. "But in order to do that, we must first hack into the computer systems of the base in Severodvinsk. Cobain shrugged.

"What do you mean?" Snakeeye frowned.

Cobain thought for a moment and said, "Let's put it another way you can understand." We don't know where the thief is hiding, but we do know that a thief is going to burglary a house. Then the way we catch the thief is to sneak into the house first, and wait there for the thief to appear. ”

"In other words, you must take control of the computers at the base in Severodvinsk, Russia, in order to deal with the Order's ninth group of hackers. Lin Rui frowned.

That's pretty much what it means. But Severodvinsk is an important military base for the Russians, and it is impossible for us to invade at will. Under the alert system of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, if we enter the network from the outside world, it is very likely that we will be detected immediately. The only way is to sneak in, mount a device on their system host, implant a surveillance program, and if necessary, mimic the work of a terminal to evade Russian tracking. Cobain replied.

"I see, like the last time we invaded NORAD. Lin Rui nodded.

"Yes, this is the only way to deal with a high level of system security. "And as far as I know, important units of the Russian military use self-developed operating systems, based on Linux systems, in order to reduce dependence on foreign software and reduce Microsoft's licensing fees." This is also a challenge to our operations. ”

"I agree, and we think that Mr. Cobain will play an important role in this operation, and he must personally follow us to Russia. Tephnu nodded.

"What, why is that?" Lin Rui frowned, "Tefnut, you must understand that Cobain is only our technical support personnel, not combat personnel. He didn't have to go on an adventure with us, in fact he could do a good job if he stayed here. ”

"His team can stay here, but Mr. Cobain would do well with us. Because of this operation, we need a knowledgeable expert to accompany us. He could not participate directly in military operations, but he had to stay on the periphery and do his job. As for security, you could have deployed more men to protect him. Tephnut replied.
