Chapter 445: Fix a Trouble First
Two days later, Link returned from work in the afternoon.
Jessica gave him a kiss at the door, helped him with the briefcase, and said, "Carrick seems to have something to look for you." He just asked you when you're coming back from work. ”
"Where is he now?"
"It looks like I'm going back to my room to sleep. ”
Link nodded and said, "I'll talk to him when he wakes up." ”
Carrick has been working day and night upside down for the past two days, as if he has been writing code, going to sleep when he sees, and continuing when he wakes up. He was awakened from hunger, washed up, and went downstairs to forage for food. It was early in the morning, and only Link was waiting for him in the living room.
When I saw him come down, I told him to wait, and instead of calling the cook, I went to make something myself, which was considered to be Carrick's dinner and his own supper.
After he finished eating, he said to Carrick, who was still gobbling up, "You came to me during the day, and the program was done?"
Carrick took a sip of the contents of his mouth and said, "It's done." I've mock tested. The effect is quite good. ”
"What effect?" Link didn't understand what he said, he just wanted someone to find out who was tapping his phone. "You're not going to want to make trouble again, are you?"
"Why should I make a fuss?" said Carrick, continuing to eat. "I mean, you can collect information about the other person without alarming them at all, such as the location and so on. ”
Link didn't think much about what he said, "Just install the software on my phone?"
"You want to overclock your phone. I'll help you get it later. ”
Link still remembers that he helped himself overclock his computer, but the computer burned the motherboard because of the unstable voltage one day.
"There won't be a problem with the phone!"
"Look at my face. I'm Carrick Don?" Carrick said with his greasy finger pointing to his nose. He said as he quickly filled his stomach. "Wait a minute, I'll go down to that thing in the room. ”
Link waited in the living room for a while, and Carrick came down with his notebook. He asked for Link's phone, then turned on the Bluetooth connection, and said, "My software is relatively demanding, and your phone can't run at all without overclocking." ”
Carrick worked for nearly an hour before restarting his phone and said, "Okay, when the reboot is complete, you'll know who's listening on your phone as long as it's being spied on." ”
Link looked at the phone and it was still restarting. He waited for several minutes before entering the interface: "How long will it take?"
"It should take twenty minutes. Carrick turned off the computer. "Your phone configuration is too low. ”
Link smiled wryly. His phone is already the best on the market.
After waiting for twenty minutes, his phone was turned on. He did it, and it didn't slow down the other programs as he thought.
"It doesn't seem to take up much space to run. ”
Carrick stood up and said, "It was a reconfiguration just now. In the future, it won't be as slow as it was just now. I went to sleep. Dead!" he said after a few steps. "By the way, you'd better call someone tomorrow after work. ”
Link nodded. When Carrick's figure entered the elevator, he looked at the time, and it was almost three o'clock in the morning. And he went up to sleep.
When he went to work the next day, he remembered Carrick's words and called Snapton. He pretended to inquire about recent wine sales. Just as he was calling, his phone rang a tone. He took a look, and there was a dialog box on it. He hung up and looked at the dialog.
There's an address on it, and a network IP address. Other than that, there is no other information.
He searched for the geology by typing it into the computer, and it turned out to be the address of the Huazhou Security Bureau.
This is the official listening to his phone calls! But he also had a hunch. But it also made him feel that it was even more confusing. It was the official who monitored his phone calls, and that surveillance should not have a direct relationship with the car accident. If the government wants to deal with him, there is no need for a car accident.
He turned off the dialog box, and suddenly another dialog box appeared on the phone screen: "Do you want to fight back?" and there was a ten-second countdown on it. Link wants to cancel, and now he doesn't want to confront the authorities.
But he found that there was only one choice - "yes". When he reacted, he wanted to shut down the phone to stop it, but the countdown was over, and a green bar appeared on his phone that was progressing quite quickly. His phone won't turn off at all
He could only watch as the green bar filled before his phone finished shutting down.
He knew he had been tricked by Carrick. That guy really wants to make trouble. He smiled wryly and turned it back on. He believed that Carrick would not harm himself. Since Carrick did that, and specially asked him to test after work, he should have already thought of all the possibilities.
And at this time, it was at the address where Link's phone was first. It is a federally owned building. The State Security Service is based in this.
The Security Service has the responsibility to monitor domestic citizens and all persons living in the United States. One of the departments is even legally required by telecommunications companies to allow them to implant backdoors that allow them to listen to all customer calls.
There's only one small group that's dedicated to this. Therefore, they can only listen in real time when they are sure that there is a suspicious object, and it is impossible to manually listen to everyone's phone calls, but only to let the computer record audio files. In order to run this system, they have servers that perform very well.
Each server is aimed at an infinite number of phones, including landline and mobile phone communications. All intercepted calls are stored and evidence can be found in these calls if needed.
Today, there are only four members of the listening group on duty. They don't have any objects that need to be monitored in real time lately, so their task is just to get these machines running safely.
And there were almost no problems with these machines. So all four of them were relaxed.
A fat man drinking coffee from a disposable cup says, "Mark, I heard you went on a date with the new Nala yesterday?
The man named Mark was quite handsome, and he glanced at the fat man and said, "That's a secret." ”
"Comeon, man!" said the fat man, exaggeratedly. Oh my God. What's that?"
"What's wrong?" Mark and the other two looked into his eyes. His eyes widened and he exclaimed.
Mark was the youngest of the four, but he was the calmest: "Turn off the power!"
The server room next door to them, cooled by a high-powered air conditioner, was flashing with heat warning lights, but the alarm that was supposed to be there was no movement. The computers they connect to those servers don't have any hints about this. Mark didn't know what was wrong there. But he knew it was definitely something they couldn't solve in a short time.
But he reacted quickly enough, but the problem exploded faster. The hand that went to turn off the power has not reached the power switch box.
Suddenly, there was a spark from the power switch box, and the lights and computers in the entire room were all extinguished. Of course, the lights on those servers are also off.
But Mark knew he was in big trouble. Because he just saw that several of those servers were also sparks, and they were sparks from short circuits.
He opened the stuffiness of the server room, and a thick smell of burning came to his face. On top of that, the temperature in the room was much higher than outside.
He knew that the few men on duty were in trouble.
It's likely that all of these servers burned down. And they didn't even notice it. They can't escape a single fault of dereliction of duty.
"Oh my God, it's going to be over. The fat man who had just teased Mark also walked in. "What the hell is going on?"
"God knows!" Mark said distractedly. "Maybe we should find the reason. He said as he turned and walked out of the server room.
Turn on the power switch box and find that the fast switch inside has been burned. He exhaled deeply.
At this time, his colleague walked back quickly and said, "The whole building is out of power." In some places, backup power can be used. But we can't help it here. Because the circuit is burned out and needs to be repaired. ”
Mark doesn't care about those. "I just hope that our computers haven't burned down," he said. "Their computers are proof that they are not at fault in their work.
He looked at his three colleagues and said, "Now we have to figure out why we have a server that is heating up and not giving an alarm, whether it's our surveillance computer or the temperature alarm in the room." And we may have some records on our computers that can find out what's going on. He suspected that he had been attacked by a computer virus.
However, he finally moved the computer to the department with the power supply, and found that all the data on the computer was gone. Even their systems have been completely formatted, and the traces on their computers are cleaner than when they first left the factory.
After overhauling, the motherboards of the eight servers in charge of their team were all burned, and the hard disks were all formatted, as clean as the computers outside.
Now the Security Bureau is a bit big. Because they want to listen to the target, they have to complete the target system, and then set each target to be completed, and now they have all the data lost. There are people who need to be monitored, and they may not be able to remember. Because a lot of times they think someone needs to listen, and then they just join in, and they just record it on the computer. And now all the computers in this listening group are finished. That's the end of it
After Link's work, he will curry favor with two cougars to his study: "What are the consequences of my phone?"
Carrick laughs, "Erase all their data, of course." He paused. "The audio they listen to is stored and used when they want to. I don't know what you've said before, but it's safest to get rid of them all. If only yours is deleted, it is too obvious. So I had to delete them all. ”
Link doesn't know when he started being spied on. And he did say some sensitive things on the phone before. Now that it's deleted, it's really a good thing for him.
"Will there be a beginning and an end?"
"Rest assured, all information, including all traces, will be automatically clear. It is a highly targeted, self-destructive, intelligent software. Unless their computer doesn't use the hard drive, there's no way to prevent it from deleting it. ”
