Chapter 32: Viruses

In the past two years, the network of Huaxia has developed rapidly, with a growth rate of more than 300%, and domestic hackers have gradually developed, and various number theft programs have emerged in an endless stream, most of which are worms, which are not very popular for the network in Huaxia, which is not very serious, and in addition to the fact that the network is controlled by state agencies, it is not serious enough to threaten the national economy and security.

However, country M did not have such good luck, because the computer started very early, the network is also the most developed in the world, and the degree of attack is also the largest.

Due to the fact that country M is constantly increasing its troops in the Middle East, and constantly accusing some countries in the Middle East of possessing nuclear weapons or using national human rights as an excuse to constantly erode the resources of the Middle East -- oil -- for various reasons, an organization called RetaliationBase launched a frenzied attack on the Pentagon of the United States, broke through the military's firewall, and implanted a virus called fire in less than 10 minutes, which can not only invade the military network through satellites, but also achieve the purpose of control. The files in the military database are infected with viruses and cannot operate normally, so they can only be quickly disconnected from the network, and the danger is the highest. The U.S. military urgently disconnected the internet to protect their important data.

The National Defense Center of Country M urgently summoned domestic software experts to deal with it.

"Doctor, how's it going?" Siente asked anxiously, now that the danger level has reached the highest, all large enterprises in China have activated emergency plans.

However, the white-haired old man in front of him did not get up, but looked at the computer screen anxiously, "The young men now are really powerful, even such a complex virus can be written, they use low-level language, and it takes time to kill them." ”

"And when will we be able to get back to normal?" Siente didn't care about their specifics, what he wanted to know now was the outcome.

"I don't know, we haven't found the rules for it, it's hard to kill, and it's very difficult to recover data."

"Can we ask an engineer from an antivirus software company to help?"

"Yes, we can send them a sample and ask them to help, now we can do it to protect our hard drive data first, and it will take time to recover."

Damn time, what Siente hates the most is that there is no result, now two hours have passed, there is still no result, this virus is now constantly attacking major commercial institutions and ZF institutions, software experts in the extraction of virus samples, even isolation is difficult to do, let alone analysis of virus characteristics, and this virus is constantly expanding the attack surface, losses are constantly expanding, commercial banks start emergency shielding to reduce losses, in 3 hours of processing to no avail.

The ZF of country M issued an emergency plan and released information to the major software killing companies in China, such as bit, morphine, and Symantec, especially Symantec, which is the largest software killing company in China, and also the most powerful software killing company, the largest software supplier in the ZF department, and the largest collaborator of the military.

Siente kept moving around the office anxiously, "Mr. Sient, I have your phone, President Line 1." ”

Siente picked up the phone depressedly, the current president is the least economically capable in years, and the current war in the country everywhere, the situation is getting worse and worse, which is also the result of his efforts.

"Hello, Mr. President!"

"Hello, General Sient! I'm sure you already know the details, and I need to know the solution and the definite time for it now. President Kerr was not angry, but anxiously awaited his reply, he could still stay in this position for a maximum of a year, and now is an important period when he is about to leave office, and it is quite unfavorable for him to have problems at this time.

"Mr. President, we don't have a solution right now, the only thing we can do is to protect the hard drive data. If we want to reduce our losses, we in country M must be disconnected from the Internet with other countries. ”

"Don't you know what that means to us?" Kerr said angrily, such irresponsible words made him very angry, as the world's largest network, the end node of all networks in the world, the loss of network disconnection is greater than the current loss.

"Mr. President, now this virus has a derivative function, which can achieve the purpose of filling the hard disk by constantly replicating itself, as long as the hard disk is overloaded, all computers will burn the hardware because of overload, and now it is a good result to be able to isolate and control."

"If we release this patch now, so that everyone can rest assured, do you think it's appropriate?"

"Yes, the center's engineers have already made the packaged software."

"Okay, I'll post this right away, remember that you only have eight hours, and if you haven't solved this problem yet, I'll definitely put you in front of the public." Kerr hung up.

Siente took the phone depressed, put it down, Siente immediately went to the engineer's supercomputer office, and now the unlucky person was him, he would rather die on the battlefield than encounter such a situation.

"Doctor, what's going on?"

"There is no way to solve it, this virus will change, we have tried different ways to kill this virus, but this virus will change according to our antivirus software, constantly changing its own characteristics, which has caused a lot of difficulty for our detection and killing."

"How about Kaspersky, the killing of the Rus' country? Do they have the ability to solve this problem. ”

"Their strength is not even as good as morphine and bit, so there is no need to ask for their help."

"Maybe they can provide a good idea?"

"What if they take advantage of this opportunity to plant a new monitoring program in our system? Do you think we can trust them? The doctor asked in turn, he didn't believe that Lao Maozi could solve this problem at all, their strength was too limited, a garbage killing soft could deceive the world, and they didn't want to take revenge all the time.

Siente looked at the doctor and thought for a moment, "Is there any other organization that we can borrow, that has nothing to do with the ZF Agency?" ”

"Maybe we can ask VB if they have any good software for the software of the software of the software company, their virus database is the largest in the world, and it must be good software if it can withstand the baptism of their virology." The doctor thought about it, and now the world's largest software certification body might be able to help with this. "I can call them now."

"Okay, let's fight now, it doesn't matter if you pay some money, what we need is a solution."

"Okay, they're asking for $5,000, and you see we can't transfer money through the banking system now?" The doctor was embarrassed and said that now they couldn't do anything.

"It's a simple matter, and I immediately contact the FBI and ask their local staff to help us pay for it, or ask the president to do it for a favor, it's a small amount of money, and now what we need is to fix it." Sientt said loudly, the doctor must be stupid for doing technical work, is 5,000 dollars considered money? Not even a hair for a loss, is there still time to wait? "I'm contacting the president now for help from other departments, doctor, please contact them immediately."

Sient walked briskly back to his office and made another call he didn't want to make, and now that he didn't have a solution, the president might scold him for it. However, this time, the president was very happy, and immediately contacted many large international companies, confirmed the relevant contracts with them as quickly as possible, and prepared a large amount of money, which can be easily called at any time.

By the time Siente returned to the computer center, the doctors were downloading something on an unpoisoned computer, and they were watching the progress of the download, which was almost complete.

"Doctor, what are you doing?"

"This is a new antivirus software, which has experienced VB's largest virus database, VB introduced us to this software, the content is not large, and it can be downloaded quickly." The doctor said, looking at the computer.

"Where was this software released?"

"The one on the Durta website may have been developed by a team called hualong, and it is now in the free trial stage." The doctor said happily, "I think we have saved a lot of money for the people of country M this time, and Congress should be happy about it, hehe!" "The doctor made a rare joke, I didn't expect such a good software to be in the free stage.

Soon the progress bar will be 100%, this software is only 20M, small amazing, there is no such a small antivirus software in the world, after the doctor downloaded, open the software on the spot, the installation speed is also very fast, it took less than thirty seconds.

"Now disconnect the internet and put our samples on the computer." The doctor instructed the young man next to him to work, the computer's anti-virus software has been turned on, and it occupies a very small amount of system memory, this software can shock VB, is this true? The doctor was a little incredulous, and as soon as the removable memory was plugged into the computer, an alarm message flashed on the computer.

"God, that's amazing?" The doctor and all the technicians were terrified by the information on the computer. Before the virus could break through the peripheral programs, it was wiped out in less than ten seconds. Is it true that the message prompts them to be killed cleanly, and they are falling into a dream? More than 20 top computer talents plus the world's most powerful antivirus software company, have no way to solve the problem, a simple software to solve? Could it be that this virus was written by this team?

"It's still running." One of the engineers found that the software was still running, and everyone woke up from their dream, the software was still running, and the whole system was being tested, and they were surprised to see the virus information that kept popping up on the computer, this is the computer in their security center, and there will be viruses too? Although the configuration of this computer is high, it is not yet comparable to their supercomputer, and it can be killed under such conditions.

"It recovered all our files." When the computer was killed, it immediately showed that the repair was complete, and the technician opened the computer and found that the damaged files had been recovered.

Is it true that everyone looks at each other? Are they all stupid?

In the end, Siente reacted the fastest, "Doctor, is there a problem with this software, is it written by the same person as the virus?" ”

The doctor looked at the display on the computer and said with some unconfidence, "No, with such a powerful ability, do you still need to use viruses to promote yourself?" That's not a waste of time, as soon as they announce their VB test results, people all over the world will have to line up to buy their antivirus software, why bother to become the public enemy of country M, this is meaningless to them, and it is still in the trial stage, let alone necessary! ”

Siente closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, "Doctor, please check this software immediately for any backdoors or other plug-ins, if not, I will report it to the president." ”

"Good!" The doctor was also very surprised by this matter, this is not common sense at all, a software that can detect and kill so many viruses, it can't be so small, is it the software that kills this virus, or is it another virus? "Go and prepare some more virus database files and test out its capabilities. The second group now immediately downloads the software for analysis. ”

The Doctor immediately ordered everything, but the result excited and frightened him, this Kill Soft is indeed the most powerful Kill Soft, and the virus database they provide can't have the slightest effect on it, even if they provide viruses used in electronic warfare, there is no way to break through the perimeter firewall. The second team frustrated and reported to the doctor the results of the test, they had no way to break through the software's perimeter firewall, in their eyes, this was not software at all, it was an artifact in the program.
