Chapter 160 - Denial of Service
After Gu Wolf's countdown ended, almost all the people present held their breath and stared at the traffic monitoring software running on the computer screen, although the network traffic fluctuated, the curve was still green, and it was obvious that there was no sharp increase in traffic.
"Is Thunder kidding everyone?" Not seeing the expected spike in traffic, a staff member muttered something in a low voice.
"Hehe, maybe it's a delay problem, wait a few more minutes." Gu Wolf said.
The time on the computer had reached 0:4 in the morning, and there was still no movement, this time even Tang Xinyu was a little breathless, and said, "It can't really be that Thunder made an international joke, right?" ”
"Hehe, the consequence of hackers who deceive almost the entire network is to become street rats, and this kind of joke is not fun at all." Gu Wolf said with an indifferent smile.
"The traffic has gone up!" At this moment, a staff member suddenly shouted loudly, immediately attracting all attention, and sure enough, the flow curve, which had been up and down but the overall trend was very smooth, suddenly rose almost 90 degrees, and rushed to an extremely high peak in a few seconds.
Didi, the computer running the network monitoring software began to alarm, and at the same time, the upward trend was curbed to a certain extent, the overall trend remained stable at a high position, and the traffic curve was no longer a harmonious green, but turned into a striking orange red.
"The Xuan Nee Firewall is working." Gu Wolf called up the firewall logs, and saw that the logs were growing at an extremely high rate, and it was obvious that the firewall had begun to use its own policies to adjust the network traffic.
"The attack is fierce!" Tang Xinyu looked at such a high curve and sighed sincerely.
"Hehe, it seems that the Xuanne firewall is still very strong, and if it is a general firewall, it is estimated that it has already collapsed under such a large number of concurrent access traffic." Gu Wolf said with a smile, obviously, he was very satisfied with the current performance of the Xuanne Firewall.
This high level of traffic was maintained for about five minutes, although the computer where the traffic monitoring software was located kept alarming, but the server was also very stable with the help of the Xuanne firewall.
However, this high-level stable situation was broken by another sudden flow of traffic after five minutes, and the network traffic monitoring software, the traffic curve rose again, and the frequency of the alarm sound of the computer Didi became more dense, and the alarm sound was more urgent than the other, rendering the already tense atmosphere even more tense.
"Damn, Didi is really annoying, you must know that this alarm sound was removed at that time." Gu Wolf scolded and said.
"The traffic is stable again, damn it, this is going to the top!" Tang Xinyu's words focused everyone's attention on the computer, and a bright red curve floated high at the top of the chart, which was shocking, at this time, no one was paying attention to the alarm sound of Didi.
"If another wave of traffic comes in, the firewall won't be able to hold up." Gu Wolf said.
Just as they were worried about whether the firewall would continue, the traffic curve suddenly began to slide downward, quickly turning from bright red to orange and then to green.
"The firewall is still exerting its strength, Xinyu, you can take a look at the logs." Gu Wolf recalled the system log and pointed to the log that was scrolling rapidly.
"So many IP addresses have been blocked by the firewall, it seems that the firewall is really working." Tang Xinyu looked at the log and said.
"Yes, the firewall obviously found that these sharp increase in network service requests are some machine rules, and even repeated requests, after analyzing these requests, a judgment was made, these requests are by no means normal service requests, but human-controlled attacks from the network, for the attack, it now does a very simple processing, that is, to record and block such IP addresses, and then send the packets without any processing and throw away, thereby reducing the processing pressure on the server." Gu Wolf said.
"What if, like just now, the traffic goes up a little bit and exceeds the network itself?" An employee couldn't help but be curious and asked.
"Our firewall has been doing its best to prevent this from happening, it is like a policeman, firmly controlling the door of network data in and out of the server and a section of the road not far from the gate, but even if the firewall is smart, it is only a program after all, compared with real people, there is still a big difference, in addition, it also has its own processing limit, if the network traffic increases too fast, exceeding the instantaneous processing limit of the firewall, then according to the rules I set in advance, The firewall will automatically disconnect the server's network to prevent the server from crashing due to massive data access. Gu Wolf seemed to be happy to explain some knowledge to others, so when the employee asked him, he didn't feel impatient, but explained it to the employee in detail.
As if in order to verify Gu Wolf's explanation, as soon as he finished speaking, the network traffic soared again, almost in less than three seconds, reaching the maximum value that the network could bear, but this time the traffic did not stay at the highest value like last time, stabilized, but continued to rise, and the red line soon exceeded the limit.
Didi, the computer let out a sharp chirp, and then the network traffic suddenly dropped to zero, and at the same time, the red dazzling traffic curve also turned gray.
"Hehe, Gu Wolf, you have the potential to be a prophet." Tang Xinyu laughed on the side and said.
Several employees saw that Tang Xinyu did not become depressed because of the scene in front of them, but instead started joking with Gu Wolf, and the originally nervous mood became relaxed, and they all laughed.
"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you, let's find a place where you can access the Internet, and see if there are already gongs and drums in those forums, and cannons are playing." Tang Xinyu said, after speaking, he left the network monitoring room with a few staff members and went to find another place to surf the Internet, leaving Gu Wolf busy in the monitoring room alone.
…………
As Tang Xinyu expected, when the Xuanne Firewall took the initiative to cut off the network connection and shut out all the plots, Thunder immediately sent out a message of the successful DDoS attack in several forums and chat rooms, and the forums and chat rooms became lively and jubilant, and a large number of participating attackers posted congratulations, and some people began to shout that the Xuanne Firewall was just like this, and it was vulnerable, so that Gu Wolf prepared 100,000 yuan, They'll soon be able to smash the Gennee Firewall to the ground and get the document that marks victory in the challenge.
Several employees of the company looked at the lively scene in the forum, and they were a little anxious, and they had the intention to post to defend the company, but they were strictly forbidden by Tang Xinyu.
Fortunately, Gu Wolf didn't let them wait long, and after about twenty minutes or so, he walked over from the network monitoring room, called several employees together, and said: "I will post on several forums in a while, and then you follow my instructions to follow the post, as long as the operation is done properly, we can turn this matter into a good thing." ”
After the order, he said to Tang Xinyu: "Let those people on the Internet make a fuss for a while, and by two o'clock in the morning, they should be almost noisy, at that time, it will be our turn to speak, Xinyu, you can contact Sister Sa now." ”
