Chapter 183: A Desperate Shot
Facts proved that Gu Wolf's own worries were justified, because after the new strategy he had arranged was released, he was immediately overwhelmed by the more than a thousand newcomers, and the other party only took less than a minute to crack the strategy he had set up this time.
Seeing this situation, Gu Wolf had to give up this useless effort and decided to close this trap setting, so that all the latecomers could be kept out, but those IPs who had broken through the first layer of traps and entered the second layer of traps could not be turned away, and could only rely on those traps in the second layer of defense to trap them.
Since he had made such a decision, Gu Wolf no longer hesitated, quickly called up the configuration interface of the firewall, entered a line of commands in it as fast as lightning, and then hit enter to execute it.
The first trap was closed, and the two thousand and forty-eight latecomers who swarmed behind were only a small part of it, and all of them were turned away.
"Huh-" Gu Wolf let out a long sigh of relief, in less than twenty minutes just now, he was really too nervous, and that ** locust-like attack was really too difficult to prevent.
"Mr. Gu, those guys have started scanning our system for vulnerabilities again." Before Gu Wolf could breathe a sigh of relief, another staff member said loudly, making the people in the network department nervous again.
Gu Wolf hurriedly opened the system log, glanced at it, and found that sure enough, there were four IP addresses that began to initiate connection applications to the server, and at the same time, they kept sending data packets to this side, and began to detect system vulnerabilities.
"Damn, it's this trick again!" Gu Wolf scolded secretly, these guys are still like at the beginning, at the beginning they used a seemingly chaotic method to detect, and each failure will be recorded, and the latecomers are using different ways to detect, this kind of locust-like gnawing method, as long as there are vulnerabilities in the system, it is possible for them to find them, but which system can guarantee that there are no loopholes.
"Immediately make the second protection global!" Gu Wolf observed the detection of these IPs, and then instructed the employees on the side, in order to avoid the firewall from occupying too many server resources, the second protection set by Gu Wolf was only used behind the trap, and was not set in other directions, but the current situation did not allow him to consider whether the server was overburdened.
An employee obeyed Gu Wolf's instructions and quickly entered a command in the control panel of the firewall, extending the second protection to the global protection of the system, and now the protection layer that is being attacked has become the first layer, once this layer is breached, then these breakthrough IPs will also face the traps of the second layer of protection of the firewall.
"Mr. Gu, should our second layer of protection also adjust our strategy and kick out those IPs that have now fallen there, and they will not leave it?"
It turned out that the employee who had been paying attention to the first layer of traps was idle because of the complete closure of that layer of traps, so he took the initiative to start staring at the IPs that had previously entered the second layer of protection through the first layer of traps, but all fell into the traps without exception, and after observing for a while, he found that these IPs seemed to have the spirit of perseverance, unlike those hackers who entered the second layer earlier, trapped in it for a while, and couldn't find a way out, so they automatically disconnected, these guys were in the trap, And make full use of this layer of protection will not kick them out of the initiative, and they are constantly trying to attack the trap, and the employee who watched was anxious for a while, and asked.
"The second layer of protection is completely controlled by the firewall, and I can't adjust it, but don't worry, since these guys are in the trap, it's not so easy to get out." Gu Wolf said.
As if to confirm his thoughts, the firewall made an alarm sound, but it turned out that a trap in the second protection was breached, and a large group of IPs trapped in it ran out, but they were greeted by some traps that were closely connected to the previous trap, so these IPs fell into it one after another, and this large group of IPs that were originally in a trap were divided into several traps, and invisibly, the cracking power of these IPs was weakened.
"It really doesn't have to be kicked out." It was also the first time that the clerk saw the trap of the second protection breached, and he couldn't help but sweat, but what happened later made him breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that things have been controlled at this point, and the first layer of protection of the Xuan Nee Firewall is not so easy to break through, and the IP trapped in the second layer of protection has fallen into layers of traps and cannot get out.
By this time, Gu Wolf and all the employees had nothing to do, and all that was left was to wait, because everyone had been in a state of high tension, they didn't even notice that an hour had passed before they knew it, and the boxed lunch that had already been called over had become cold, but no one had moved.
Tang Xinyu was completely reduced to a supernumerary service staff at this time, he found a microwave oven, and two other employees warmed up all the boxed lunches again, and arranged for everyone to eat.
Twenty minutes passed unconsciously, and the IPs that came to scan the system vulnerabilities had been kicked out by the firewall in two batches, and at this time, there were sixteen IPs scanning the firewall.
"Mr. Gu, I have an idea." One employee suggested.
"What thoughts?" Gu Wolf asked.
"I've noticed that only when all of those IPs are kicked out will there be twice as many IPs coming in, so can we change the policy of the firewall and let these IPs scan here without kicking them out, then their number should not increase." The employee said.
"Well, there's some truth to what you said, you can give it a try." Gu Wolf said.
"I'm going to adjust it now." The employee saw that Gu Wolf agreed to his suggestion, and said with some excitement, and ran back to his computer to adjust his strategy.
However, the employee's idea was good, but the other party had apparently expected this situation for a long time, and after finding out that the previous IP had not been kicked out, every ten minutes, a new batch of IP would join in.
Gu Wolf quickly noticed this situation, and hurriedly adjusted the strategy again, only to kick out those IPs that he had relied on before, and the bandwidth burden of the server was reduced a lot.
"Mr. Gu, I didn't think it through, and I almost broke a big deal." The previous employee said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay." Gu Wolf comforted the employee for a few words, and then once again noticed that on the later IPs, this batch of IPs had increased to two hundred and fifty-six.
"Now it can be determined that these IPs are definitely controlled by one person, so who exactly can think of such a perverted method?" Gu Wolf secretly thought, in just a few minutes, the next batch of five hundred and twelve IPs arrived.
"Damn, it's endless." Gu Wolf watched batch after batch of IP connections coming in, like a marquee, and in a blink of an eye, it had reached a batch of four thousand and ninety-six.
Suddenly, the firewall issued an alarm, which startled Gu Wolf, who was staring at the computer screen in a daze, and hurriedly looked at the computer screen, but it turned out that there was an IP that really found a loophole in the first layer of defense of the Xuanne Firewall, and then used this vulnerability to break through, and the other IPs were like hungry wolves that smelled fishy, and followed the IP to use the loophole to break through the first line of protection, enter the second line of protection, and then were trapped inside.
But when this batch of IPs entered the second layer, the next batch of 8,182 IPs swarmed in and broke into through the previous loopholes.
From the discovery of the vulnerability to the more than 8,000 IPs breaking in, it only took about ten minutes, and the vulnerability was something he never thought of, and at this time, if you want to patch the vulnerability, you need to analyze the cause of the vulnerability and write a vulnerability patch, which is not something that can be completed in a while, so at this moment he has no choice but to watch the IP in the second layer of protection gather more and more.
After the firewall was breached in the first layer of defense, it kept beeping alarms, which made everyone in the network department very nervous, and no one was in the mood to eat anymore, so Tang Xinyu's hard-worked lunch cooled down again.
But Tang Xinyu couldn't take care of all this, standing behind Gu Wolf, he also looked worried about the open log file on the computer.
"Gu Wolf, the second layer of protection won't be eaten by these locusts, right?" Tang Xinyu asked softly.
"Probably not." Gu Wolf said.
But Tang Xinyu heard a trace of uncertainty from his tone, because there were too many locusts, and unlike the previous large-scale denial-of-service attack, although there were more people at that time, there was no organization, and the methods of the attack were all from the software released by Thunder, which was very simple, so although the firewall was finally not allowed to open the network due to network congestion, it had no fatal impact, and none of the protections were broken.
But this time it is different, these IPs are obviously organized, giving people the feeling that there is a wise commander behind these IPs to conduct overall command, so the role played by these IPs is not comparable to the tens of thousands of rabble last time.
It's just that Gu Wolf is a little puzzled, such a large-scale command requires a very large amount of calculations, so how did the other party do it, could it be that the other party used a giant computer or a large computer cluster in order to complete this attack?
But he laughed again, for his own challenge to use hundreds of millions of computers, it seems unlikely, but a large computer cluster is possible, but this possibility is also very low, after all, a large computer cluster is not as expensive as a giant computer, but it is also very valuable, and it needs to be written specifically for the software, such a system generally only exists in some universities, or scientific research institutes, used for scientific computing, used to engage in hacker attacks, some overkill.
While thinking about it, the next wave of 16,384 IPs swarmed in again, rushing into the second layer of protection of the firewall, but the addition of more than 10,000 new forces made the whole situation fundamentally reversed.
Theoretically, the Xuan Ne firewall can use its own intelligent core to generate nearly infinite traps, but to generate so many traps, and to take care of each trap, it requires a large amount of memory space, and ultra-high server computing speed, if the server used by the Xuan Ne company at this time is a giant computer, or a large computer cluster, then even if there are hundreds of thousands of IPs to break in, there will be no problem, but now the problem is, Tang Xinyu and Gu Wolf only used a small computer, and when dealing with so many IP organized attacks, memory and CPU resources were in a hurry.
The firewall has no memory resources, and there are no more CPU resources available, and the original traps are constantly being breached, but new traps are too late to be generated, and the situation becomes very critical.
Di Di Di, a very urgent alarm sounded, Gu Wolf heard this kind of alarm, his expression suddenly changed greatly, because this is the highest level of alarm issued by the firewall, which means that the firewall is about to be unable to withstand it.
As the core figure of the network department, Gu Wolf's sudden change of color made the atmosphere of the network department seem to freeze all of a sudden, except for the urgent alarm sound, there is no other sound.
"Could it be that after holding on for half a month, at the last moment, is it really going to lose?" The thought came to almost everyone's mind.
Tang Xinyu patted Gu Wolf's shoulder and said, "It's up to people to do things, it's up to heaven to make things happen, we've done our best?" ”
Gu Wolf shook his head a little unwillingly, and then said, "Maybe there's another way." ”
"What's the solution?" Tang Xinyu's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly asked.
"Feonix himself will come and maybe get all these locusts out." Gu Wolf said.
"Hehe, is Feonix willing to care about such a thing?" Tang Xinyu said with a wry smile.
"feonix doesn't want to care, but his apprentice may have a way, we forgot about Xiao Yuan, by the way, Xinyu, call Xiao Yuan quickly." Gu Wolf's eyes suddenly lit up and said.
"Damn, why did you forget this guy, I'll hit it right away." Tang Xinyu patted his head and said loudly, and rushed to the telephone after speaking, but before he rushed to the phone, the phone rang.
"Whoever calls at this time, it's really a mistake!" Tang Xinyu scolded, picked up the phone, and said loudly, "No matter who you are, I have something urgent to use the phone now, you hang up first, and then call later!" ”
"Xinyu, what's wrong with you, did you take gunpowder, I'm Xiao Yuan, now at the train station, you send a car to pick me up, I'll go to the company to see how you did in that challenge." Xiao Yuan's surprised voice came.
"Haha, Xiao Yuan, have you come to Jiangzhou, great, I love you to death." When Tang Xinyu heard the voice on the other side of the phone, he was immediately overjoyed and kissed the phone hard.
"Damn, what are you doing here, it's really inexplicable." Xiao Yuan took away the receiver of the public phone and muttered inexplicably.
