Chapter 322: Where Did the Dark Arrow Come From?

Because he was still in a hurry to find out what the problem with the spirit stone was, in other words, how the other party invaded the server, Che Guanglong left the conference room alone. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Duan Shanshan had nothing to do, so he accompanied Liu Kewei to continue smoking in the conference room.

There are many ways to hack into a server.

Seriously, the current state of affairs doesn't look like a pure hacker.

On the other hand, if the other party really wants to destroy the server, the more common way is to directly choose the big killer of "traffic attack", which simply and rudely paralyzes your server.

The second is to modify the database, which can crash the entire game.

These are the real hacking practices.

Judging from the current situation, it is most likely that the server of "Six Tribulations" verified that there were some unknown vulnerabilities in this process, and the other party intercepted and modified the game package, and then bypassed those vulnerabilities, which caused the actual result of obtaining a large number of five-colored spirit stones.

Strictly speaking, this practice is not a hacking practice as commonly defined.

The reason why Che Guanglong said that he used "similar" hacker means is precisely for this reason.

But the solution to the problem still has to go through and troubleshoot the program instructions that may lead to vulnerabilities one by one, even if Che Guanglong stops his existing work and concentrates on dealing with this problem, it will take a certain amount of time.

However, just as he was busy with his work, Ling Xingning's mobile phone rang again.

It's still a call from the bustling network.

As the main planner, this guy is the person designated by the studio to communicate with the prosperous network operation department.

Of course, because of personal relationships, Long Jiao occasionally calls Liu Kewei or Duan Shanshan's mobile phones directly, but this practice is not so formal, and it is often just some intentional consultation or consultation.

If it is a business-like approach, according to the normal negotiation process of the operating company to the R&D company, you have to find Ling Xingning.

A digression. Operating "pressure" R&D is the norm under normal circumstances, and Long Jiao may not be willing to directly "instruct" or "reprimand" Duan Shanshan with his friends' face, and it is naturally more convenient to have Ling Xingning as a transit.

This was originally the fate that the "designated liaison" should bear, and it was not particularly wronged by him.

Ling Xingning answered the phone, this time it was not Long Jiao who called, but a customer service leader under him who was responsible for managing the forum. This person handled the poster's business just now.

The other party said that there was a new post on the forum, or something similar, but this time it was even more excessive.

What the poster posted turned out to be a complete set of six pieces of orange equipment for the head, body, feet, weapons, belts, and accessories.

Each piece of equipment is in the order of white, green, blue, purple, and orange. It all needs to be tempered four times. The number of five-colored spirit stones consumed was two, four, eight, and sixteen, respectively, and the total was thirty.

Six pieces of equipment require one hundred and eighty five-color spirit stones, which doesn't seem to be as many as the five-color spirit stones posted in the previous post, right?

But refining this link does not only consume five-colored spirit stones, it also needs to consume a large amount of game currency at the same time.

Based on the current level of server players, the game currency obtained under normal game conditions probably only supports the span of white to green.

Even if you don't consider the consumption demand of spirit stones, a small number of people may be able to make up the game funds needed to quench a blue suit by smashing the pot and selling iron, and the vast majority of players' game currency accumulation cannot support the span of green to blue.

The amount of money required to refine the six pieces of orange equipment is for the server players at this stage. That's astronomical.

- Obviously, after the five-color spirit stone, there are also loopholes in the production channels of game currency.

Moreover, this problem is more troublesome than the five-color spirit stone. Because the output channels of the five-color spirit stone are relatively single, and the output channels of the game currency are too many.

Monsters are killed to earn in-game currency, items sold in the shop are in-game currency, and rewards for completing quests...... Counting various events, gift packs, etc., there are at least a dozen common channels that can generate in-game currency. It takes more time and effort to find out where there are vulnerabilities through self-examination.

I heard the phone call that Ling Xingning said. Che Guanglong, who had been working before, stopped what he was doing and glanced at him worriedly.

The customer service said that he had deleted the post and banned the IP in accordance with the previous policy of controlling the situation, and just told the threesome about the new development. Urging to come up with a solution as soon as possible.

Ling Xingning didn't dare to slack off, knocked on the door of the conference room, and informed Liu Kewei of the situation.

Liu Kewei walked out of the conference room with a dark face and briefly exchanged a few words with Che Guanglong.

After all, there were too many people in the office, and it was not too convenient to talk about some core or confidential topics, so Liu Kewei and Che Guanglong once again entered the conference room.

This time, Ling Xingning and Yuan Bin were also called, and Duan Shanshan was also blasted out by the way.

After all, it is a serious team R&D core meeting, and it is a bit unjustifiable to let this guy as the head of the copywriting team attend.

Besides, he hasn't paid much attention to anything outside of the copywriting realm anyway.

"Che'er, you can preside over this meeting, and I will observe. ”

As soon as he opened, Liu Kewei "shelved" Che Guanglong to his previous presiding position under the surprised gazes of Yuan Bin and Ling Xingning, and then he pulled a chair obliquely to accompany him.

Are you going to pick a picker now?

Che Guanglong glared at him a little crying and laughing, but at the moment, the business was important, and he didn't have the heart to dwell too much on the subsections.

"Everyone should know the situation, right?"

Che Guanglong's opening remarks went straight to the point without hesitation, and Yuan Bin and Ling Xingning bowed their heads silently.

"Judging from the current indications, there should be some unknown vulnerabilities in the server verification link of our game, which I am investigating, and it will take some time to find out the problem and deal with it. ”

As the main program on the server side, Che Guanglong first frankly assumed his responsibilities.

Ling Xingning was silent, not that he didn't want to speak, but that he actually didn't have the experience to deal with similar situations - of the three games he had experienced before, when he had just entered the industry, he had just entered the industry and could not get to the core of the project, and as for the third game, the boss fired most of the members of the team, including him, not long after the test.

The game development industry attaches great importance to a term called "complete project experience", which refers to the qualifications that have completely participated in all stages of a project, such as case filing, research and development, testing, and operation.

Only with this qualification can we ensure that most of the various problems that may be encountered in the research and development of the project can be well understood, and they can be solved as soon as possible.

Of course, the premise is that you have to undertake your own part of the actual R&D work in the project, otherwise as a person who is not responsible for the actual work and just runs errands and assists in "executive planning", there is not much difference between not following a project.

Therefore, at this stage of project operation, Ling Xingning's experience is limited, which can be regarded as one of his "shortcomings".

"I don't understand, what is this guy's motive for attacking our game server......"

is the other master Cheng Yuan Bin, as a programmer, he has a lot of say in this field, so he scratched the back of his head and muttered at this moment.

Generally speaking, the motives of people who hack into game servers can be divided into three types: seeking fame, profit, or revenge.

Naturally, people seeking fame will focus on the most famous games - Naxon and Prosperous Web are of course famous game companies. However, as far as the current situation of the project "Six Tribulations" is concerned, it is still in the closed beta stage where the publicity is relatively retained, and the fame cannot be compared with the most popular and popular games on the major game lists.

Therefore, the possibility of seeking a name is basically ruled out.

In most cases, there are two ways to make a profit, one is to obtain a large number of rare game resources through illegal means, and then sell them privately to players for profit, which is also a relatively common and not very risky practice, and the other is much more arrogant, directly blackmailing the game development or operation company to pay a sum similar to a ransom, which is enough to extort money, and the risk will be much greater.

"Six Tribulations" has not yet officially paid for operation, and the possibility of selling rare resources in large quantities is almost zero, and Naxon and Prosperous Network have not received any information similar to intimidation and coercion.

So it doesn't seem likely to be profitable.

As for retaliation, the situation is much more complicated. It may be due to the service attitude on the side of the bustling network, or it may be due to the hatred of the "foreign" background on the side of the developer, or some of the things that Naxon has done before have offended someone, and it is not even ruled out that some people are dissatisfied with some of the details after simply playing the game "Six Tribulations......

"Is it really because of 'revenge' or something?"

Yuan Bin explained, while ruling out the various possibilities he proposed one by one, and finally ended his tirade analysis with such a mutter.

187 You're basically right, but you're missing a fourth possibility—that the attacker was motivated by a competitor. Liu Kewei, who had been listening silently, only then spoke, "In my opinion, this possibility is the greatest." ”

In the past few years, the prosperous network itself has made a lot of pillars in the game industry;And even if you only look at the prosperous network,Long Jiao, as an airborne R&D director,And intervene at the operational level,It's easy to be disliked by the executives of other prosperous networks。

Besides, on the side of the threesome studio, can it be said that it is a collection of thousands of favorites from Naxon? What are you kidding?

Therefore, from Liu Kewei's standpoint, no matter how you look at it, I feel that this fourth possibility is the most suspicious. (To be continued.) )
