After the post about the torture of prisoners by the Mi army in the Gulf War was sent, many people asked the "Bit Messenger - the administrator" messenger operator to delete the post immediately, but for some reason, the administrator seemed to ignore these requests, and even put this post on the top of the BBS, which is basically visible to all visitors who enter the BBS. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as this post appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of all the hackers, and they began to flock to the FTP provided in the post, download all the evidence pictures to the local as soon as possible, and then study them in detail.

Soon, various feedbacks immediately appeared in the "Bit Messenger", and many hackers pointed out that these scans have a lot of authenticity, and no traces of forgery have been found at present.

In other words, the Mi army did have such a phenomenon of abusing prisoners in the Gulf War!

After this news was confirmed, it immediately detonated the entire underground hacker world.

The hackers are a group of rebellious people who oppose authority and flout government laws, and when they see this news, they want to immediately make an announcement to the whole world.

As a result, some hackers with journalist friends began to print out the information they obtained and send it to their journalist friends.

Lin Hong didn't know about it at first, he learned the news from Arthur.

The moment he saw this post, he immediately understood that the other party must have used the proxy function of Bit Messenger to make this post, but he didn't expect that the second version had just been released, and such a thing immediately appeared.

There is no doubt that if this is true, this post will definitely cause a series of chain reactions.

At this point, he had to secretly congratulate himself on how wise he had decided to post anonymously instead of releasing Bit Messenger in the first place.

Otherwise, he would definitely be in trouble.

Because it is to be expected that more and more similar things will happen in the future, although these things may always happen, even if there is no bit messenger will appear in front of everyone in another way. However, because of the emergence of Bit Messenger, this kind of thing has been given a catalytic and promoting effect, so that everyone has a safer way to release things that they didn't dare to release before.

Warwickton FBL headquarters Edgar Hoover Building.

Moses, the head of cybercrime, is in the director's office, suffering the unquenchable wrath of his immediate boss, Thompson.

On their desks behind them, there is a fully printed version of the leaked documents of the torture, and it is clear that they have learned about what is happening on the Internet.

"Rice buckets, it's all rice buckets!!" Thompson roared as he stood in front of Moses, almost pointing at Moses' nose and cursing, spittle spraying with the air current.

"The Pentagon and the White House have called several times to ask what's going on, and you say, what should I tell them? --

Moses stood motionless, knowing that this time his normally mild-mannered boss was utterly angry.

"I give you ten hours to thoroughly investigate this matter, who is behind it, who is leaking secrets!"

Thompson took a deep puff of the cigar in his hand and said slowly:

"Moses, I want you to understand the importance of this. Once this matter continues to spread, it will greatly impress the image of the United States in the world, and it will disgrace the United States! ”

"I understand." Moses finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Rest assured, we will immediately launch an investigation and take everything into our hands!" ”

An hour later, FBL agents caused a great stir within the SLT.

MLT executives immediately negotiated with the person in charge of the FBL, demanding that the other party come forward to explain the reasons for the arrest of these people, and demanded that the other party immediately release the arrested people. They were told that they were suspected of foreign espionage and that the FBI had the authority to arrest and review them directly. The suspects will be released only after suspicion has been cleared.

Soon, this news also spread in the underground network hacker world at a very fast speed, because at the moment of the arrest operation, the BBS of the "Bit Messenger" was inaccessible, and then in connection with this matter, someone broke the news that Richard Hotman, the father of free software, was the "messenger operator" and several members of the Free Software Foundation in the volunteer defender "Bit Messenger--。

This time fВlzhēn's actions against them were precisely because of the "nuè prisoner incident" that pricked the nerves of some people in the Pentagon.

After this news was released, it immediately aroused everyone's hatred.

For a while, everyone began to support Richard on the Internet, and everyone contacted on the bit messenger, planning to call on everyone to go to the Pentagon to sit-in and petition, asking the Qiuzhèng government to release the "Xinjian operator" and release those volunteers.

A BBS called "Freedom Messengers" was quickly set up, and this time, due to security concerns, the server was placed outside, and under the leadership of some enthusiastic people, it was quickly decided that if the Zhèng government did not release the personnel within three days, they would systematically go to the Pentagon and the White House in batches to march and petition.

At the xfВl headquarters, Moses looked at the investigation in his hand with a headache, he had not slept all night, and his face looked very tired.

"Why didn't you get noticed sooner?" Moses frowned and asked, "The appearance of this bit messenger will bring great difficulty to our information monitoring!" ”

Although he didn't understand the technology, he also understood the investigation report provided by his subordinates, which pointed out that at present, the Bit Messenger has been completely spread, and according to the principle and architecture of this software, there is no way to block and control it.

Standing in front of him was the leader of the anti-hacking team, computer security expert Claire, he used to be the chief programmer of the internal security system of the Ministry of Defense, and later advocated a comprehensive upgrade of the internal network of the Ministry of Defense, but inadvertently offended the interests of some people, so he was sent to a small computer room of the Ministry of Defense as an administrator, and later when Moses set up the Cybercrime Department, he followed the advice of industry insiders to dig Claire over, and served as the leader of the department's anti-hacker team, specializing in fighting cybercrime activities.

"The author of this software did not show up but hacked into the software released by various **BS, and by the time we realized the power of this software, it was too late. The only way to eliminate this software is to catch the author of this software, but at the moment we have not found any useful clues. According to our analysis, Richard Kettoman is the most suspicious ......--

"Let them be properly interrogated. Also, hurry up and investigate the traitors inside, these documents are all classified documents, and there are not many people who have access to these documents, so I think it is easy to check. Damn, what the hell do these people think!! ”

Moses gritted his teeth at the thought of the leakers who scanned and copied confidential documents.

A moment later, there was a knock on the office door.

Moses' assistant secretary, the sexy and charming Caroline, walked in with a catwalk.

"Minister, Claire's is reporting from the outside, saying that something new is emerging." After Caroline finished speaking, she glanced at Claire with a flattering eye, and her eyes were hot.

"What's new? Let him in. “

"Okay."

Caroline walked out again with a catwalk.

Then a young man with red hair walked in, who first greeted Moses respectfully, and then reported:

"Team Leader, the hackers have once again formed a BBS asking us to release Richard and others, and they have decided that within three days if we don't show it, they will take action and call on everyone to go to the Pentagon and the White House to petition ......"

"Hell!"

Before Moses could finish speaking, he suddenly exploded as if he had been stepped on by someone's tail.

Obviously, the way to petition the Pentagon and the White House is very tricky for him, and for him, the sooner he solves it, the better, and tries to minimize the impact in order to successfully complete the task.

"Let all the irrelevant people go, stabilize their emotions first." After thinking about it for a while, Moses finally made a decision, "As for Richard, you should hurry up and review it, and if it is okay, let it go and monitor it closely." ”

Two days later, Lin Hong saw the news of Richard's release on TV, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After this incident, he was closely following the progress of the whole thing.

Several television stations and newspapers in the United States reported on the incident, and finally the Pentagon issued a statement saying that the incident was committed by individual soldiers, and in fact internal punishment had been imposed on the soldiers concerned, and some internal documents were shown to reporters, and soldiers who had participated in the torture of prisoners were either expelled from the military or sent to military courts for sentencing.

As for the two Pakistani diplomats, it was a complete misunderstanding, and the foreign minister of the United States had a note with the Pakistani official about the whole matter a long time ago...... Yunyun.

The leaker of the documents, Private 1st Class intelligence analyst Bullard, was also arrested, charged with leaking classified information, and will be court-martialed.

This matter came to an end with Richard's release from prison.

When Richard appeared in front of the camera, although he looked a little tired, he was very high-spirited, and in front of the reporter's microphone, he did not pay attention to the reporter's questioning, but kept promoting his free software ideas to everyone.

"The freedom of software relates to the freedom of mankind!" He yelled into the microphone.

This prisoner abuse incident has completely surfaced the software of Bit Messenger, and it is no longer limited to the hacker circle.

In addition, Richard officially entered the arena of political movements, campaigning for free speech, defending free software, and fighting against the expansion of software patent and copyright laws. (To be continued [
