If there is a hacker group whose members can straddle between software vendors, security vendors, and hackers, and can also have a legal identity, then this organization is none other than the Carrot Alliance.

The Carrot Alliance is probably one of the most peculiar hacker groups in the world, and all its members are both channel customers and end customers of the organization, and these members sell their 0day to carrots, and at the same time buy other 0days from carrots.

In the transaction records of carrots, it is common to see the technical personnel of software companies and security companies selling the vulnerabilities of their products to hackers for hackers to make profits, and you can also see hackers selling vulnerabilities to software vendors and security vendors to make these products more secure and reliable.

Since its establishment six years ago, the Carrot Alliance has always aimed to build the world's largest 0-day trading platform, and has now become a super hacker group with members in more than 40 countries around the world. Last year alone, the 0-day sales traded by the Carrot Alliance were as high as 900 million US dollars, and on average, several security vulnerabilities of different levels were traded every day.

But such a strange organization has actually gained a legal status in a grand manner.

Whether it is the Black Hat Conference or the White Hat Conference, all the major security conferences of the global surname in recent years are indispensable to the shadow of the Carrot Alliance, who use their members' voice in the security community to loudly call for the establishment of a legal vulnerability trading platform, claiming that this will make security controllable.

At the beginning of this year, the Carrot Alliance finally got its wish, a total of more than a dozen world-class software vendors joined their trading platform, in the future, all the vulnerabilities involving the software of these software vendors, on the Carrot platform will not be allowed to be traded, but can only be traded to software vendors, the Carrot Alliance in the hacker world for a while transcendent, he grabbed a lot of hackers' money bags.

Carrot's people know very well that if they can't keep the security risks of those software vendors under control, then the support they are getting now will be lost at any time, so after getting the support of the software vendors, Carrot immediately started a new plan.

They used the voice and influence of their members to launch a vigorous action in the security community, resisting the free announcement of 0day in any form. This has directly led to the serious lack of technical content in many security meetings since the beginning of this year, and everyone is sitting in the venue imagining the future, but there is nothing at all. Carrot has even begun to crack down on loophole trading on other channels, and several hackers who are privately peddling 0day online have been sent to the small black room by Carrot.

Carrot's series of behaviors can be described as extremely domineering, forcing all loophole transactions to be carried out only on his own platform, even if you don't want you to be unhappy to make this money, and want to publish the loopholes in your hands for free, that's not okay.

Half a month ago, when the Wolf's Den announced that it would release ten 0-days for free when the summit was held, Carrot immediately sent someone to verify that four of the ten 0-days involved software vendors on their own platforms, and one of them was still the most serious vulnerability, so he warned the Wolfden not to publish these vulnerabilities.

The wolf's den naturally does not pee on this carrot, no matter how strong the radish is, the sphere of influence is limited to Europe and the United States, and he can't get into the domestic black circle for the time being. Who knew that then a the9 came out to make trouble, and this the9 is likely to be the spokesperson of carrots in China.

"Good boy!"

Hu Yifei pinched his thighs hard, confirming that he was not reading a fairy tale, he was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that there was such a monster in the hacker circle, and the introduction of sugar-fried chestnuts about carrots surprised him too much.

This is definitely a fight with the open source organization, the hackers of the open source organization shout and fight for open source, and they are the people who are called together by the purpose and concept, and this carrot also has its own purpose and concept, which is the vulnerability franchise.

"Although today's game was calm, the news I got from Wolf Tooth is that more than 700 of the 1,000 servers they have carefully deployed have been compromised so far, and the9 is likely to be waiting for a suitable time to completely mess up the Wolf Summit!" The Bird continued to report what he had heard from his friends.

Hu Yifei scratched his head, thinking to himself what is the use of you telling me this, the wolf summit is not smashed, it has something to do with me, it is all a matter of the masters, "Okay, I know!" Hu Yifei replied nonchalantly.

Seeing that the second master didn't say anything, he was a little anxious, and said: "The second master, you announced that you would participate in this wolf summit, and many of my friends are now waiting to listen to your teachings. ”

Hu Yifei was almost choked to death, this sugar-fried chestnut is really pure, Leng regards himself as a master, he is a fart master, he will turn off, Lao Tzu said that participating in the wolf summit is just to respond to the call of the idol cold bird, and it should be the occasion, do you really expect yourself to listen to those masters in the vernacular of the heavenly book one hundred and eight times, isn't that looking for inferiority! If it was changed to Xiaole, Lao Tzu might still consider it. Still listen to the teachings, what does Lao Tzu have to teach, in case the time comes, turn off the machine with a trembling hand, cry to death for you.

The cold bird knew that the second master was going to participate in the wolf summit, and secretly a group of people came to participate, not the field of the wolf's den, but the field of the second master, he thought to himself that since the second master came to participate in the summit, it would definitely not be empty-handed, as long as he could guide himself a little bit at that time, he would definitely make great progress in his level.

I didn't expect it to be a very smooth thing, but a little Jiujiu jumped out halfway, which made the cold bird very unhappy, he didn't take the9 in his eyes, but he wouldn't easily offend people, especially since there was a carrot standing behind this ninth organization. Now the wolf's den is holding on to not sending a letter for help, and the cold bird has no reason to stand up for others, seeing that the wolf summit is about to fail, he hit the idea of the second master, as long as the second master can stand up and snort, he will also go out to overturn the troublesome little Jiujiu, "The second master, I can't stand this matter, I have many friends in the hacker circle, as long as you send a word, I promise to call a large group of people for you, and definitely beat the9 to regret the intestines!" ”

Hu Yifei didn't expect that this sugar-fried chestnut was really persistent, and he was embarrassed to say that he was not a master for a while, and to be able to have such a die-hard fan, it also proved that he had a strong personality! Hu Yifei can put a layer of gold on his face for ordinary ugly things, but now when he encounters beautiful things, he naturally doesn't want to debunk them. Hu Yifei grabbed his head, thinking about how to deal with fried chestnuts with sugar, so as not to hurt his immature heart of chasing stars, after thinking for a long time, Hu Yifei let go of a very hard word, "Isn't it just a ninth organization, it's just a little minion, what's the point of beating them!" ”

The cold bird suddenly heard the sound and said, "The second master is going to beat the carrots?" ”

"Hmm!" Hu Yifei had no choice but to continue to lie, thinking that a rookie like sugar-fried chestnuts could just listen to his friends talk about carrots, and it was impossible to get on the line with carrots, so he said: "It's just that I'm not familiar with them, you help me bring them a message, if Xiao Jiu dares to stir up my wolf summit, I will pickle their carrots!" ”

The cold bird was greatly excited, "Okay, the second master, with your words, I know what to do!" After speaking, he forgot to ask the second master to retire and went directly offline.

"This kid doesn't really have a way, does he?" Hu Yifei was dumbfounded, I said, if this kid really passed the word to the carrots, he couldn't pickle the carrots by himself, what could he do!

Scratching his ears and cheeks for a long time, Hu Yifei sighed and said: "It's a pity, a great superstar is rising, but he was overturned by a cow!" Depressed, the cow still blew it on its own.
