Chapter 675: Hacking Contest (Part 1)

On the side of Nancheng Flower Street, at the entrance of the State Soldier Building, the carpet has been rolled out, and there are many flags set up outside the door.

However, it is not a national flag, but a school emblem and a corporate logo, but some people can see the national logo on their clothes.

After all, this circle is actually not big, there are many acquaintances, of course, those who can become acquaintances are naturally working hard in this circle for many years or have done something that has attracted the attention of the industry.

At the check-in area at the venue, everyone's pace slowed down, after all, it was not only people in the circle who came today, but also people outside the circle, or it can be said that they were the customers of these hackers.

For example, the security departments of national defense and large Internet companies.

Car after car.

Finally, when a certain car stopped, Bai Zhou got out.

On the car, the Piston logo is emblazoned.

However, in the midst of such a conference, the Pesson logo, which was revered as a god in the eyes of ordinary people, finally faded its halo.

After all, the school emblems that can appear here are the world's top colleges.

And it's a professional competition, so even if it's a gathering place for scholars, it's not as good as a specialized god after all.

It is the first time for Bai Zhou to participate in this kind of official competition, and the people who come and go are basically big people, especially the heads of major enterprises, in addition, the people from the Ministry of Cyber Security of the People's Republic of China are the last thing Bai Zhou wants to see.

Compared with the previous ACM competition, the hacker competition is much larger in terms of scale and impact, after all, the ACM competition is just a game for students, but the hacker competition is a competition between the top masters in the offensive and defensive industry.

The people who can emerge from here are the fragrant dumplings that major enterprises look at.

Of course, in the eyes of these people, money is the real number.

"After all, it's a race, so the scale is definitely not small!"

Seeing Bai Zhou watching around, Phil was in charge of the introduction.

After all, she is no stranger to this kind of hacking competition, in her early years, she came many times, and she also came as a participant, but basically it was just a number.

After all, in this situation, there are only a few top people who shoot to the end!

"That's called Xingpusen, it's a basin technician, and that ......"

Phil pointed out several people to Bai Zhou in a row.

Judging from the way they dressed, these people knew that they were not bad money, especially around them, there were always some people around.

There are idols in every circle.

It's like these young students, who are already known as Xueba in their own school, when they see this level of technology again, they also take out their mobile phones and answer shyly to take a group photo.

Bai Zhou couldn't help nodding, and his heart was a little surging, and he suddenly had the idea of being a masterpiece, after all, the infinite scenery seemed to be too beautiful.

It can be said that these people are the ones who maintain the security of the virtual world of the Internet day and night.

Without them, I am afraid that the networks of major enterprises will be eaten away.

"You know them all?"

"It's natural, it should be said that those who learn computers, who don't know them!"

"It's not like he never shows up!"

Bai Zhou said: "I mean you know them?" ”

Phil shook his head: "I don't know all of them, but a few of them have a relationship with my father!" ”

That's scary, too.

This time, it was Phil's mentor, Duru, who led the team!

And Duru is the leader of the team that led the team to China to participate in the ACM competition before!

Du Lu still has a deep impression of Bai Zhou, of course, the impression is just a very good child with a bright future.

But what level can we do now......

It's probably thinking too much, after all, as a mentor, he knows Phil's level very well.

It's very good among its peers, but if you want to put it in the whole industry, it doesn't rank high.

As for Bai Zhou, he thinks the same.

After signing in, Duru led the group to the venue and found their place.

This time, the main force was Du Lu and another teacher from the academy.

As for the students, they basically follow along to gain knowledge, and of course, the students naturally have to get started, which can be regarded as experience.

"Over there, it's a security research team from Italy, and this group of people is terrifying!"

Suddenly, Phil pointed to a few people not far away.

Bai Zhou looked over and did see a few people.

It should be said that more than a few people.

At the front, there are several signs.

"Are those all a team?"

"No, there are several teams, and I'm showing you a few people sitting behind the PEN sign!"

Bai Zhou stared, five people.

Among them was a woman.

It's just that the ages are different, and there is a child inside.

As for the rest......

In fact, Bai Zhou really doesn't understand the age of foreigners.

Especially for bearded men, whether they are in their early twenties or thirty or forties.

Because I had made jokes before, I met a nineteen-year-old man at school, but Bai Zhou called someone else's uncle......

In addition, the people over there are generally dressed casually, and it should be said that at a glance, those people are programmers.

"It's all a civilian team, but ...... Don't think that the private team can't do it, on the contrary, in Europe and the United States, the private team produces strange talents! ”

"Especially some problem students, they drop out of school early, but their learning ability is not weak at all, and they stay in the room all day to study by themselves, this kind of person is much better than the students in the school, because they have no distractions, and all their minds are on specific technologies, which is much better than the miscellaneous studies in the school!"

Phil is like a local tour guide, no matter what he sees, he will introduce Bai Zhou to it one by one.

This also allowed Bai Zhou to quickly adapt to the atmosphere of the venue.

Slowly, the venue with a capacity of 10,000 people gradually filled up.

In addition to the competition, the most people from major companies and local media came to participate.

After all, the sponsor of the hackather is itself the world's top network company.

Among them, there are several Chinese companies.

Naturally, Bai Zhou also saw Asian faces, and noticed the students of Chinese schools and the contestants of Chinese companies.

The so-called hackaths are the world's leading software vendors and security solution providers providing the latest and most secure mainstream desktop operating systems, browsers and applications as the target of attack.

At the same time, a record number of prize money was provided to the living teams.

To put it bluntly, the organizer asks the questions, and the contestants answer the questions.

"PDF Reader, Firecat Browser, GG Browser, Anping System ......"

"Has it been more difficult this year......

Duru took the list sent by the organizer, and after a cursory sweep, his brows furrowed.

Because of the technological update, the general network security is also updated in real time.

To put it bluntly, when you come out with a software, it's not the end, but just the beginning.

When the software is released, it will be targeted immediately.

A version update similar to a game.

A generation of versions, a generation of plug-ins!

In other words, after the new version comes out, the old plug-in is generally useless, and at this time, the plug-in team will start immediately.

On the hackathon, all the latest software is naturally brought out, and there are even software that is about to be released or has just been completed.

This kind of software is probably not available at all, and it is difficult to crack it in a certain period of time.

The most important thing is......

It's like the GG browser, which is known as the most secure browser, and the year before last, none of the people present cracked the GG browser, of course, it's also a matter of time limit.

Later, a new version of the GG browser was released.

KT, the 'white hat' team that participated in that hacker contest and tried it, announced the discovery of a vulnerability in the GG browser.

As for what happened next, no one knows.

After all, KT is a 'white hat', they will only find loopholes, and they will not make criminal moves.
