Chapter 373 OICQ

Lin Hong had known for a long time that Ponyma was developing an instant messaging software. Pen, Fun, Pavilion, www.biquge.info Church

At this time, the other party has also gone to the sea to start a business and set up a small company with more than a dozen people, mainly to use the relationship to do some local telecommunications, Unicom and some paging station business.

Recently, telecom companies needed such a software for timely communication, so their company wanted to take the project down, so Ponyma began to write such an instant messaging software.

He has been interested in this before, and has developed some prototypes one after another, accumulating a lot of experience. Later, I learned that Lin Hong had developed similar software, and through continuous communication with him, some problems were gradually solved, and the beta version was recently developed, and then distributed to some of his friends to help test it.

The test number started from 10001, and this first number naturally belonged to him, and the other previous numbers were directly sent to several of his friends, such as Li Zonghua, the stationmaster of Morningstar Station, whose number was 10101.

The number Ponyma gave to Lin Hong was 10108, and the password was the same as the number. At the end of the email, he left the FTP address of his site, which had the beta download of the chat software.

Although Lin Hong and Ma Huateng have never met, they have been exchanging emails for a while, and the two have discussed a lot of technical issues, and they are relatively familiar with each other.

Login to the other party's site, Lin Hong downloaded the software package, and the result was that the main program was the exe version, named OICQ.

“oicq?” Seeing this name, Lin Hong couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

Seeing this name, Lin Hong remembered the software called ICQ launched by that company in Israel not long ago.

Through this name, Lin Hong can also see that those people in Israel must also be amateur radio enthusiasts, and CQ itself is a professional term for greeting. Templar

Lin Hong took a look at the software in Israel, it was still a beta version, and it was also very primitive, many of the functions were still very simple, and the security performance was extremely low, he tried it a few times, and found that there were a lot of vulnerabilities, and if he wanted to invade the other party's database or server through that software, it was a matter of minutes.

Lin Hong, who had written the bit messenger, naturally looked down on it, and uninstalled it after installing it for less than a few minutes.

Lin Hong's current system is Linux, which he has deeply customized, and he can't implement it here, so he has to send the package to another computer.

In addition to his laptop, Lin Hong's office has two desktops, one of which is also Linux, but the server version, and the other is Windows, which is mainly used for development and testing.

When writing code, if you want to test on different platforms, it is too time-consuming to switch systems, so if possible, the programmer usually has several computers and several monitors on his or her workbench.

It's not about pretending, it's about the actual needs of the job, to be more efficient, and different computers do different things.

After Lin Hong ran the OICQ software, an interface similar to ICQ suddenly appeared, in the form of a long strip, displayed on the desktop, Lin Hong found that the functions on it were also very similar, even the layout was the same, but there were some details that were improved, improving ease of use.

The functions of instant messaging software are similar, and Lin Hong is noncommittal about Ponyma's reference, and in this period, these software have no UI patents at all.

In Lin Hong's eyes,This software doesn't have any bright spots at all,To put it bluntly, it's a Chinese version of ICQ,In terms of function and security,Even the CQCQ he wrote at the beginning can't compare。

However, Lin Hong still tested it seriously.

There is still relatively little development in the software sector in China, and Lin Hong should naturally support domestic programmers, not to mention that Ponyma is also his friend.

Out of habit, Lin Hong's concern is safety. The latest chapter of the Templar

He doesn't care about the interface design or anything, he doesn't care about the ease of use or whether the function is powerful.

When he looks at a piece of software, the first thing he thinks is, is this secure enough? By what means can you break through its defenses?

Software testing is an important job after software development, in the more complete software companies, there are specialized software testers, they usually do a variety of strange and unimaginable use of the software, the most common and effective test method is to carry out extreme testing.

For example, when you sign up, you can enter the maximum number of digits in your password to see how many digits you can enter, and when you are chatting with others, you can enter the maximum number of digits...... Wait a minute. If programmers don't verify these when they are writing, it is likely to cause a lot of strange problems, and these problems are the best entry point for hackers to break through defenses.

Lin Hong casually tested the common vulnerabilities he had encountered before, and found that they also made such mistakes.

It only took about ten minutes for Lin Hong to type in a total of 20 typical security vulnerabilities in the document, some of which he had encountered when he had programmed before, and some of which had just been discovered when he was testing and using them.

In addition, Lin Hong also gave several suggestions for improvement.

In his opinion, OICQ is still a long way to go, and it needs to be improved slowly.

As for the commercial value of OICQ software, he doesn't have any good ideas. He developed CQCQ to meet his own needs. And although the bit messenger is used by many people now, it has not created half a dime of profit for him, even if it is not open source, he can't think of any good way to make money.

Lin Hong sorted out the document, emailed it to Ponyma, and then started to do his own thing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deep z.

Ponyma has just decided to test the instant messaging app OICQ on a small scale.

Prior to this, he and the members of his team had done very detailed internal testing work on this software, fixed a lot of vulnerabilities and bugs, and in order to save time, they heavily referenced the software called ICQ that had just appeared in Israel in the interface design, and even directly referenced the name, only adding a letter O in front.

On the one hand, CQ is a professional code for amateur radio amateurs to call each other, and most of the people who are active on the Internet in China are transferred from ham. On the other hand, ICQ can correspond to the English "iseekyou", which means "I'm looking for you" in Chinese, which just meets the basic needs of instant messaging software.

As one of the webmasters of the deep Z Huiduo website, Ponyma has a certain reputation and a wide range of friends, so he wrote a more sincere email, inviting his friends to test their software, and welcome everyone to put forward suggestions for improvement.

On the other hand, it also has a sense of show-off and publicity.

It is also not easy to write such a software in China, and this matter can add points to him in front of his friends. And when the software is made, it definitely needs people to use it, and the first batch of users are often their friends.

Ponyma has been monitoring logged-in users on FTP since the email was sent.

This FTP has just been set up and is not open to the public, and usually, the address of this FTP will only be known after receiving his invitation email.

He monitors the logins and downloads on the FTP to see how many people saw his email and downloaded the package in the first place.

Since the email was sent, people have started to log in to FTP to download the software, and then the corresponding account has appeared online.

Ponyma added them as friends one by one and chatted with them to give them a taste of the convenience of instant chat software, which is more convenient than email.

He has received praise from many friends, and everyone praised this software, and said that he will become a loyal user of OICQ in the future, so that he can continue to work hard to develop.

These friends also provided him with a lot of valuable advice, but these suggestions usually focus on the interface, usage habits, and functions.

Ponyma took the feedback very seriously, and he compiled it all and then printed it out as he thought it was necessary, posted it in a prominent place, and included it in his next development plan.

Today, Ponyma just went out to meet a friend and came back a little late.

When he returned, the first thing he did was log in to the server and check the number of people online.

Today, the number of people online at the same time has reached 48, and the highest number of people online is 75, which is another new high.

Seeing such results, he was naturally very happy in his heart.

Although it is only a small scale of external testing, they have not stopped people from registering and logging in.

Except for the people they invited by email, others generally learned about this software through those friends, because they thought the software was good, and it was very convenient to connect with each other, so many people recommended it to their friends. In this way, after mutual referrals, more and more people will sign up. At present, the total number of registered people has reached more than 200 people.

Ponyma reveled for a moment and then began to work on today's email.

These days, he gets some feedback every day, and now the first thing he does when he goes online is to check the number of people online and then check his email.

After opening the email client and downloading the email, there are already more than a dozen letters in it.

As is customary, he first skimmed through the headlines to decide which emails to prioritize.

Seeing the title of one of the emails, Ponyma's eyes lit up.

"Hellc replied?"

Among the many friends, there are several friends whose opinions Ponyma values the most, and HELLC is one of them.
