On Stephen Zhou's laptop, a text box pops up.

"You're very good, you can actually find me, it seems that the black water is not all waste, it seems that I have to get serious, and have a good time with you!"

John next to him also saw it, but he was obviously different from Stephen Zhou's point, like a rabbit that had been stepped on by his tail jumped up and exclaimed, "He, he actually invaded again!" ”

In hacker inreach, the most commonly used communication method is the text box, and if you want to pop up the text box on the other party's computer desktop, you must first obtain control of the computer, so when the text box pops up, it is the time when the invasion is successful, and it is also a way for hackers to show off.

Stephen Zhou was calm, and squinted at him with disdain, and said, "You don't even know what a honeypot system is, do you?" ”

The honeypot system is a common means of hacking attack and defense.

Put simply, it's a decoy system with vulnerabilities that impersonates one or more vulnerable hosts to give attackers an easy target to trick hackers who try to break in.

Hackers can easily hack into honeypot systems, but instead of getting any useful information from them, they will expose their own information.

John's face turned red when he heard this, and he forcibly found a reason for himself: "Of course I know about the honeypot system, but I didn't expect Wei to be deceived by the honeypot system." ”

"Wei? Is that the hack? You even know his name, it seems that you should be familiar with him, I admit that he is very strong, but I found him anyway. Stephen Zhou said with a bit of pride.

John's eyes flashed with admiration again, and said: "Yes, he is Wei, in fact, I am not familiar with him, but I heard that he is very strong, the level of a top hacker." ”

"He does have the level of a top hacker, but there are also levels among the top hackers, and he is obviously not the most advanced group, and I," Stephen Zhou shrugged, "is just one of them." Okay, since he wants to play, then I'll have fun with him. ”

Stephen Chow pulled the keyboard and typed on it rapidly, and soon a few more lines appeared in the text box.

"Wei, it's nice to meet you, since you think the same as mine, then let's have fun. Now, the entire network of St. Paul's Hospital is under my management, and you are welcome to invade. ”

"Stephen, didn't you tell him that he was in the honeypot system?" John asked, stunned.

Stephen Zhou looked at the mentally retarded and said: "Although I said that he is not the most senior person, but he is also a top hacker, do you really think that the top hacker can't even see the honeypot system?" ”

He quickly tapped a few commands, then pointed to the screen and said to John, "See, this is the information scanned, the vulnerability is so obvious, do you still know what it means?" That's right, he's using a honeypot now, too! He had already figured out that it was a honeypot system and wanted to trick me into it. Hehe, how could it be, he couldn't help but think of me as stupid. ”

Watching the two bigwigs battle wits and courage, John wiped his forehead again in shame to hide his embarrassment.

Fortunately, the message in the text box was updated again, and Stephen Zhou ignored him and communicated with the other party in the text box.

John looked at the information exchanged between the two, it was all useless saliva, he wanted to tell Stephen Zhou not to waste time, but thinking of the difference between the two ranks, he decided to keep his mouth shut honestly, lest others say something that should be very simple and he didn't see through it, which would be even more embarrassing.

Stephen Zhou seemed to see his thoughts and asked, "Isn't it useless to look at these words?" ”

"Well, you must have your intentions when you say that." John replied.

"Well, I really don't know what to say," Stephen sighed and shook his head, "this Wei is invading again, and I lost my bet with that Mr. Simmons of yours." I don't want to live that day worrying about fear all day long, I don't know when the FBI will come to my door, and it's not bad to go to your department. Simmons meant that I should teach you hackers, but if everyone like you doesn't even understand the most basic thing about social engineering, I really don't know how to teach it. ”

"Stephen, actually, I was just scared by you, not even social engineering." John quickly explained.

Social engineering is arguably the basic technique of hacking.

Kevin Mitnick, once known as the first hacker, mentioned in his book "The Art of Anti-Spoofing" that the human factor is the weakness of security. Many enterprises and companies invest a lot of money in information security, and the ultimate cause of data leakage is often the human being.

People may never imagine that for hackers, through a username, a string of numbers, and a string of English code, social engineers can screen and sort out through such a few clues, through social worker attack methods, and can grasp all your personal information, family status, hobbies, marital status, all traces you leave on the Internet and other personal information. Although this one is probably the most inconspicuous, it is also the most troublesome method.

A hacking technique that does not need to rely on any hacking software and focuses more on the study of human weaknesses is emerging, which is social engineering hacking technology.

Some people even say that hackers who don't understand social engineering are not real hackers at all.

If Stephen Chow refuses to come to Blackwater for this reason, it is estimated that Simmons will be able to strip him of his skin.

"Then you have to be mentally prepared, our next fight will be even more scary."

Stephen Zhou laughed, he suddenly seemed to remember something, put away his smile, and said, "By the way, what did he mean by that?" Blackwater? Are you guys from Blackwater? ”

"Uh......"

John hesitated.

Although Stephen Zhou has expressed his willingness to join Blackwater, he is not a member of Blackwater after all, and he does not casually reveal things about Blackwater.

Fortunately, Stephen Zhou didn't care about his answer, and said to himself: "I think I'm afraid it's not that simple, Blackwater shouldn't have that ability, let the FBI give them a hand." Could it be that you are just hanging a sign of Blackwater, when in fact you are a secret department of the government? ”

"This ......"

John didn't know what to say.

"Seeing that you are so difficult to answer, it means that I am not wrong. Blackwater, the secret department, I seem to have heard of it sometime, oh, I remembered......"

Stephen Chow switched programs, opened a browser, and typed in a URL to a forum that John hadn't seen before.

He couldn't help but ask, "This is a dark web forum?" ”

"Bingo, that's right, it seems that you're not that ignorant." Stephen Chow snapped his fingers, "You can only look at this forum now, and you are not qualified to come in yet, because every user here is the world's top hacker, and there is a lot of news in it that you can't imagine." If I'm not mistaken, someone should have mentioned that here......"

Stephen Chow skillfully searched and soon found a long-ago post, and the title of the post was exactly that: "Blackwater, not just an ordinary security company!" ”

He opened the post, and only the first paragraph was displayed, to the effect that Blackwater is not a simple security company, but is actually a secret force of the United States, and the specific evidence is as follows, and the following evidence requires a fee to browse.

Although he couldn't see the evidence below, John was taken aback.

He never imagined that Blackwater was a top-secret existence in the entire United States, but it was possessed by the world's top hackers.

John has no doubt about the authenticity of the evidence, because Stephen Zhou has just said that only the world's top hackers can come in this forum, and if anyone dares to sell false information here, I believe that the hackers who bought the news will never spare him.

"It seems that no one cares about this, there are only five people who pay," Stephen Zhou shrugged with a smile, "but since I'm also going to join this secret army, there's no need to spend this unjust money, right?" ”

"Well," John hesitated much shorter, "you're right Stephen, I'm not in a position to tell you about us, but soon you'll know it all." ”

"Okay, I won't embarrass you, but I think you should tell me what is the origin of our current opponent, this guy named Wei, and this news will be very helpful for me to catch him." Stephen Chow said.

"I'll have to ask Mr. Simmons about this, too." John said.

"Then go and ask for advice now, I'll be waiting for you here." Stephen Chow said.

"Okay, I'll give him a call."

John pulled out his phone and walked to the side to call Simmons, while Stephen Zhou continued to chat about those days that were not nutritious at all in the text box.

It didn't take long for John to return to his seat and say, "Mr. Simmons said that this mission can tell you, but after you hear it, you can only join our department, and there is no chance to regret it." ”

"I've already said that I'm tired of the old days, and it should be nice to have your identity as a talisman." Stephen Zhou laughed.

"Well, I'll tell you all about Wei and his companions......"

John described the situation in general terms, and Stephen Chow didn't take it seriously at first, but the more he listened, the more his eyes widened, and he forgot to continue to put porcelain in the text box.

"You're saying that you've captured a member of Huaxia's secret forces, and he's in this hospital, and this Wei is his teammate, ready to rescue him?" Stephen Zhou asked.

"Yes, that's it." John nodded.

Stephen jumped to his feet, quickly snapped his laptop on, and exclaimed, "Oh, Fack! Let me go, I don't want to die here! ”
