In this network outage, Cisco immediately received a call from the relevant security organizations, especially the RIPE Network Coordination Center, and their security engineers provided Cisco with a complete report on the experimental tests they had done. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Cisco engineers also reacted quickly, began to conduct a comprehensive inspection of this vulnerability, and at the same time, also confirmed how many products were affected by this vulnerability in each product line, and only a few hours later, Cisco released a security report, in which they admitted that a vulnerability in their company's iOS was exposed in a network outage that occurred a few hours ago, and they are currently working on a fix.
At the same time, the RIPE Network Coordination Center also issued a statement on its official website, saying: "...... The reason for this outage was that the BGPSSION was reset due to a BGP attribute that was never made public, but did exist......"
The RIPE Network Coordination Center did not disclose who was responsible for the incident, but in private, some gossip began to spread, which was true and false.
Among these news, there is a common denominator, that is, everyone believes that this temporary Internet outage is related to the country in the East.
Soon, the news spread back to China, and many experts, scholars and professors from universities or institutions received transatlantic phone calls from abroad, asking for details about the matter.
"Lao Zhang, there has been a lot of domestic action recently...... What action? Isn't it your handiwork? "Strange, you know about the latest internet outage, right?" A person in the system called his former colleague and said so.
"Professor Dong, I heard a news abroad that this Internet disconnection incident was originally transmitted from our country, and you, as an authority in this field, should have heard of it?" Even you don't know? Oh, what I heard was this......" An international student who was studying abroad called his former teacher and told him truthfully.
After receiving the information, the various special departments were surprised to confirm it through various channels, and finally classified and summarized the information and reported it to the higher departments.
In addition, domestic Internet BBS and ICQ, OICQ and other chat software have also caused heated discussions on this matter.
The development of the Internet seems to have made the distance between the entire earth suddenly much smaller, and the regions that were impossible to connect with each other at all have become more connected because of the willingness of the Internet.
The Internet has turned the entire earth into a village, and what happens on one side of the globe may be known to people on the other side of the globe in just a few minutes.
"I heard from students studying abroad that this large-scale internet outage was caused by our country's testing of secret information warfare weapons," an insider revealed in the chat room.
"Wow, isn't that true?"
"Nonsense, how is it possible?"
"Damn, Lao Mei is talking about the China threat theory again. It is said that the data packets that caused this network disconnection incident were originally transmitted by the Chinese military network, bullshit! How long has it been since the Internet was connected in China, and they don't have to think about it, is this possible? ”
All kinds of news are flying in the sky.
There are also relevant security departments in China to investigate the accident, and some foreign intelligence has been gathered, and all the clues point to the information confrontation exercise of the North J Military Region.
The truth of the facts was restored step by step, and in the order in which the failures appeared, the first router device that was the first to fail pointed to the other detachment of the Blues Information Counterpart.
Because the impact of this accident was too great, the higher-level departments attached great importance to it, and they directly called the two command centers of the information confrontation exercise to inquire about the situation.
And the command of the red and blue sides directly called the two information countermeasures detachments Finally, the matter finally became clear, it turned out that this worldwide network disconnection accident was due to a denial of service attack by the Red Army confrontation detachment against the Blue Army, and the person who carried out this attack was an external person invited by the Red Army, a young man in his twenties!
After hearing the news, Lao Yuan and Lao Zheng, who were in the command headquarters, were stunned.
Lin Hong, they are very familiar with each other, this person was invited back by Lao Zheng from the air force radar base, and later Lao Yuan personally invited the other party to come over to participate in this information confrontation exercise.
However, this news is too shocking!
They still feel a little unacceptable, after all, the impact of this incident is too great, it is hard to believe that this is the handiwork of such a young man.
Out of an abundance of caution, they asked Captain Qian to reconfirm.
But he didn't want Captain Qian to think that it was no longer necessary, he explained: "Chief, I know that this may be difficult for people to accept, but this Lin Hong is indeed powerful, it can be said that our entire military region ...... No, you can't find such a figure as No. 2 in the country! Didn't the Blues invite Mr. Momiji Fukayama, the head of the security team at Mizuki University? Such a figure is already one of the best in the field of domestic security, right? But in front of him, isn't it still in vain? ”
Hearing him say this, Lao Yuan and Lao Zheng also felt that it was so reasonable.
The Blues said they were going to abuse them, but what was the result? On the contrary, they were abused to death, and now even the battle plan is in their hands.
"This Lin Hong is really not simple!" Lao Yuan sighed. He had a feeling that Lin Hong could create miracles before, but he didn't expect that he still greatly underestimated him.
Lao Zheng nodded thoughtfully: "Yes! No wonder Lao Xu values him so much! It seems that this child is really a baby! ”
When Xu Zhizhong recommended Lin Hong to him, Lao Zheng actually didn't have much hope, he only thought about dead horses as live horse doctors, but he didn't expect him to give him so many unexpected surprises.
"Old Yuan, how can you report this matter to the top?" Lao Zheng looked at the other party and asked, "Report directly and truthfully?" ”
Lao Yuan smashed his mouth and said: "The report is certain, but how to announce it to the outside world, we have to discuss it carefully, this matter has too much impact, I will call and ask about the situation." In addition, you say hello to Xiaoqian, this matter makes them enforce the confidentiality regulations, and they are not allowed to walk, and if they violate it, they will be punished according to the regulations! ”
Lao Yuan is not sure about this matter, after all, according to the information sent back, many foreign institutions and forces are paying attention to this situation, and whether or not to truthfully announce it to the outside world depends on the meaning of the above. After all, this kind of thing is not just a technical failure, it involves all aspects of content, and if it is not handled well, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble. (To be continued.)
