Chapter 8 Hackers

Technology has never been so fast.

This is a delusion for many people, knowing that in this world, technology has been developing rapidly for hundreds of years. From the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, all the way to the Second Industrial Revolution, and now it can be said to be the Third Industrial Revolution. Science and technology have been developing rapidly, and they are changing people's lives at a rapid pace.

Some developers of Chiba Games are actually shocked by the development of science and technology. Why, because twenty years ago, they were still making electronic pet machines. And now, smartphones have been figured out.

Of course, smartphones, although there are two words smart. But it's not as intelligent as science fiction or literature. Rather, compared with the original feature phone, the usability has been steadily improved.

In fact, the concept of smartphones is not a new concept. After all, thanks to the efforts of manufacturers such as Nojia, the performance of mobile phones has been improving. After progress to a certain extent, there will inevitably be a demand for intelligence.

After all, the original phone didn't look very easy to use. Nojia's Symbian system can already allow other software vendors to make software that runs under the Symbian system.

Of course, since they're a small European company, they don't have the kind of software vendors that make software for them in the industry. Therefore, although they have opened up the interface, the relatively easy-to-use software that can be used is basically launched by their own company.

After all, the learning cost of making Symbian system software is a bit high, and when you don't see the prospect of high returns, or high returns, in fact, most companies. They don't see rabbits, don't scatter eagles, and refuse to spend money to make software for them.

The reason why Chiba Games will not face their predicament is not because of the previous generations of home consoles and handhelds, which have left a deep imprint on the majority of software vendors.

Now, Chiba Games is not only developing its own software for this mobile phone, but also inviting some of their core manufacturers. Let's make software together.

After all, even if Chiba Games thinks it's easy to make software, if they, an external manufacturer, will still encounter a lot of problems when developing it, it means that they haven't done enough.

Because, from the perspective of software development, in fact, the developer is more like a customer, and Chiba games are used as a platform. More like a merchant.

How to provide these customers with a high-quality service, so that they are willing to come here to develop software and games, and also develop good software and games, is a very serious problem.

Although Chiba Games has always attached great importance to this aspect, in fact, it is really easier for those manufacturers to make games for Chiba Games than for other platforms.

It's like a video game league, in order to save development costs, the arcade universal substrate was created. Although it is said that they use it themselves quite well.

However, other game manufacturers. Games made with their game baseboards are not so ideal. This is because there are many things to focus on and the cost of learning is too high.

So, those game companies, want to eat the performance of this substrate. It's a very difficult thing to do.

What Chiba Games wants to do is make development easier. Ideally, it's best to be a programming enthusiast and be able to make your own software.

In fact, there is not a lot of content to learn in the electronics industry. If the mind of learning is enough. In a few years, you can actually learn almost all the knowledge.

Of course, this kind of few years is not like a college class.

It's the kind of tireless learning of children, such as the more famous hackers, Kevin Mitnick, Gary McKinnon, when they became famous, they were actually not very old.

The reason why they have such good technology at such a young age. In fact, to a large extent, it is because they are particularly attentive to learning technology. They really like it, and don't see it as a tool to eat and make a living.

Of course, a child has technology, just like a child has a nuclear weapon. They don't have a right view of right and wrong, a correct view of right and wrong, so they do a lot of things that adults don't do, even if they have the same level of skill.

It is to carry out some intrusion on various important organs. They're not in it for the money, it's just for fun.

Of course, for fun, you can also make a big mess. Kevin Mitnick, for example, made changes to the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph system.

He made a phone call to the police station to buy weapons, the entire communication system was disrupted, and his actions caused direct economic losses of about millions of dollars to Pacific Telephone and Telegraph, as well as immeasurable reputational damage.

After all, if you have this kind of problem here once, you will have it a second time. You know, those who use the phone to talk about business, thinking that you can't even guarantee the security of the phone, they will choose another company instead of this company.

Of course, this is nothing, and the most frightening thing is that Kevin Mitnick, with his own technical reality, has hacked into the network of the US Department of Defense, and with the slightest movement of his finger, he can order the launch of a nuclear bomb.

It is precisely because after his behavior was exposed, he violated the bottom line of many people. So, the whole of the United States was in motion, and it didn't take long for him to be arrested.

In fact, for these very powerful hackers, the government often chooses Zhao'an. After all, there won't be many such powerful hackers in this world.

Aren't many security professionals hackers, because they were once hackers, so they have a better chance of defending against similar attacks.

Of course, security experts are not the same as hackers. In fact, at the same level, the defender is at a disadvantage.

After all, the attacking side, even if they are not hiding in the shadows, can flexibly choose where to attack. The person in charge of defense needs to defend a very large website, and it is basically impossible to make every place free of vulnerabilities.

As long as a computer is connected to the network, there is any external data exchange, and it can actually be hacked.

Because. Normal data can get in, so can the disguised attack data.

Of course, if you want to be able to get in, you need not so much technical strength. It takes a lot of effort on the part of a person.

Chiba Games actually employs a group of security experts, although there is nothing too important on the Chiba Games website. However, there are always some people who like to invade and wreak havoc.

According to Lin Yan, they are idle. I often come in and do nothing, just replace the homepage of the website with a black page, and put some skulls or something on it.

Those who do these things are usually the kind of young little hackers. And not the kind of hacker who uses technology to threaten others to make money.

It's not like those money-making hackers who just give them money and they're fine. On the contrary, these guys who are not for money are more difficult to deal with, if you use an old Chinese saying to describe it, it is just without desire. They just like to wreak havoc, they just like to have that kind of invasion.

After all, ever since man learned to wear clothes, man has possessed voyeurism. Hacking into a website is actually the same mentality as peeking at someone else taking a shower. I just want to see something that I don't see at ordinary times. In this way, they will be able to achieve a certain sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

And if a website's defense is so strong that most hackers can't break into it, then this place becomes a place to show its strength.

It is easy to become an arena for the majority of hackers, in fact, some websites of the US government have strengthened their defenses because of Kevin Mitnick's invasion. Eventually, it became a place for almost everyone to show their muscles.

Of course, those security experts are actually happy to see so many hackers attacking them. It's like a border general, sometimes let the development of foreigners.

After all, no one has sinned. What else do you want the police to do?

Therefore, in fact, sometimes the identity of security experts is more suspicious. Sometimes, in fact, to a certain extent, the crisis is within their control.

The more terrifying the attack, the more useful they become. Those security experts in the early days of Chiba games are also this kind of goods.

However, later, because Chiba Yuki was angry, these people were all expelled at once.

These security experts, in addition to protecting websites. Another purpose is to encrypt the game, increase the cost of cracking, and prevent pirated games from appearing in the market too early and affecting the sales of games.

Although, Chiba games are a lot like permanent anti-piracy. However, as anyone knows, this is an impossible thing.

Because, after a game is launched, it is not easy to change more. Therefore, no matter how tightly encrypted it is in the early stage, it is only a dead program.

Even if those who crack it are a little less skilled, as long as they have enough time, they can still crack it.

However, being able to achieve such a dynamic balance is already something that many people feel is worth it.

After all, the best time for traditional single-player games to sell is the month after release, as long as there are not too many pirated interviews in this month, then they are already satisfied.

As for the future, the popularity of the game has receded, in fact, there are not so many people who buy it.

Game manufacturers, the common way is to exit the expansion pack and renew the life of a game. Of course, if it's a game with an expansion pack, they're not happy with the current model of preventing piracy.

So, like something that is scolded by players, as long as it is detected that it is not a genuine game, the game that burns the hard disk, and the game that must be activated online on the Internet, is a solution to such a thing.

Chiba Games has also been thinking about how to make a more perfect anti-cracking system.,Later, the cooperative unit I found.,It's the Department of Mathematics.。 Passwords are fundamentally a math problem.

In fact, Chiba games have always been very respectful to mathematicians. For example, the graphics card launched by Titanium Optics Technology is a replacement cycle every 18 months, and the architecture is changed almost every two generations. For example, the latest architecture of Titanium Optics Technology is named after mathematician Chen Jingrun. In the past, there were mathematicians such as Kepler and Fermi.

In fact, mathematicians have made outstanding contributions to both graphics and cryptography. However, there are very few mathematicians who can leave a name in history.

Most people who are very powerful in the industry may not know who he is outside the industry at all.

The general public, rather than a person's research results, values their stories. For example, the famous Tong Dizhou, it cannot be said that he has not contributed to scientific research, but he is famous mainly because of his experience and his story.

The general public, for certain scientific concepts, is far from knowing what they mean. So, if they want to be famous, they basically rely on storytelling.

Newton, for example, is best known for his story with Apple. In fact, for most people, they don't care if the story is true or not.

All they care about is that it sounds good, as if if if I'm lucky, I'm a scientist too.

Of course, this is just an illusion. Most people are not suitable for scientific work. Even, many people who are already on the road of scientific research are not suitable for scientific research themselves.

As for why they do scientific research, there are many theories, but one of the more common ones is that they are used to it. I didn't make any other choices, and I went all the way up to the level of doing scientific research.

Most of them are scientific research workers, and only a few of them can evolve from scientific research dogs to scientific researchers. As for the people who have the corresponding titles, there are even fewer of them.

The academic world in Japan is basically like this, and some fields are monopolized by one or two people and their disciples.

A researcher who wants to engage in this direction, if he does not enter their system, has almost no possibility of engaging in related research.

Many people say that such a development in the scientific research circle is unreasonable, however, these people who say that it is unreasonable actually do not know what is reasonable.

Therefore, this kind of school valve system, which is most suitable for the current level of development, has been established in this way.

Chiba games are even fueled by such a system, because, Chiba games have invested so much money in the scientific research community, in fact, they have smashed out a university valve, and there are several elementary school valves.

After all, to do scientific research, you must have funds to make results.

It's like theoretical physics, although it doesn't seem to cost much. However, the researchers who can come out of those fields are basically not human anymore. (To be continued.) )
