Chapter 705: Flaws

"Dr. Duke again" Snyder took Duke's "Not an April Fool's Farce," an image analysis paper, to his computer consultant Sheila Brown. Dr. Kurram said, "Dr. Sheila, what do you think of Dr. Duke's paper? ”

"The arguments are rigorous, and the technical analysis is impeccable." As a top computer science student at the University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Sheila, who is just in her early 30s, not only relies on her good looks to become a computer consultant for Snyder, a high-level CIA executive, but also has outstanding professional abilities.

"I'm not talking about the technical issues," Snyder said, shaking his head and staring at the blonde beauty in front of him, "I was asking you, if you were a chief scientist with all sorts of projects busy, would you find time to do this kind of thing?" ”

"Oh, I guess under normal circumstances, I wouldn't do that." Sheila's blue eyes flashed, and she said with a strange expression, "These ethereal things are not worth mentioning to me at all, Mr. Snyder, do you want to say that this farce is the work of Dr. Duke?" ”

After Sheila finished speaking, she shook her head in disbelief, "Mr. Snyder, I think as you just said, Dr. Duke is not boring enough to do this kind of thing, this kind of geeky behavior is usually done by some young people who want to do something different, either to satisfy their vanity, or to show off their skills, but in any case, these will not be the reason for Dr. Duke, who once won the Turing Award for Computers, to do this prank." ”

"Of course, these are not just pranks, Dr. Sheila," Snyder said solemnly, "Most of the sensitive area pictures of Google satellite maps will be put on the website after review, and only those pictures of remote places or deserts will not be paid attention to, so these strictly censored pictures will be changed by others unknowingly during the online process, which not only requires superb computer expertise, but also extremely strict intrusion methods. In order to make Google's security system completely unaware and leave traces. ”

"Dr. Sheila, judging by your expertise, do you think there is such a powerful person among the geeks in the world right now?" Snyder asked, Sheila thought about it, or shook her head, the attack and defense of network security have always complemented each other, in Google, it has hired a lot of top geeks as its own security consultants, constantly using simulated attack methods to test and improve its own security system, a person has to fight with such a first-class geek team, but also unknowingly complete the intrusion, it is like a fantasy.

"So it's not something that individual geeks can do out of boredom or show off, it's supposed to be done by a team of top computer experts in an organized and premeditated way," Snyder thought he had figured out the truth behind the incident, "and their purpose was to muddy the waters and cover up some of the truth." ”

When Dr. Sheila heard this, he was completely confused, "Mr. Snyder, what organization would do such an inexplicable and unprofitable thing?" Sheila asked rhetorically, "What are they trying to cover up?" ”

Snyder was thinking about whether to tell some news about this skilled woman, but the beauty with a somewhat one-way mind inadvertently swept over Sheila's towering twin peaks, and was flashed by the extremely deep snow-white ravine, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, although now Snyder's mind was on how to deal with the huge threat of Duke, and tried his best to climb to the throne of the director and become one of the most powerful people in the world.

But a man's normal needs, Snyder still has, but although the grass thinking of the nest around him is one-way, it is also not easy to provoke, as a delicate beauty in the bureau, there is no scandal among the tigers and wolves, this matter itself is worth Snyder's thought.

"What am I thinking" Snyder was secretly wary of his temporary distraction, as a veteran agent, he should have a strong ability to control beauty, but Sheila's dress today was too sexy, which made Snyder shake his mind a little.

The conclusion that Duke may be related to aliens is only known to very few high-level officials in the CIA, and Snyder decides not to let this beautiful female doctor know, knowing that the principle of secrecy is that the less people know, the safer.

"That's what we're looking for," Snyder said along with Sheila's words, "Dr. Duke said that the UFO photos that appeared later were the same as the UFO photos that were originally discovered by two students at Caltech, proving that this is a complete farce, a joke played by a UFO to the world, what do you think of Dr. Duke's conclusion?" ”

"Mr. Snyder, I have some doubts about this point, most of Dr. Duke's analysis articles can withstand repeated examination, but I once followed Dr. Duke's analysis method to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the UFO images found by early Caltech students, and found that there was almost no trace of PS in that one, and I obtained the original image from the satellite company, and there is indeed such a thing. So I really don't know why Dr. Duke said that. ”

Dr. Sheila's eyes were full of doubts, of course, Dr. Sheila knew that Dr. Duke did not have the convenience of her job and could use the CIA platform to get the original pictures, so Dr. Sheila's erroneous conclusion could be understood before Snyder raised questions. But now that Snyder has extended the matter in the direction of the conspiracy, Dr. Sheila is a little confused.

Duke obviously didn't expect that in order to completely overturn the authenticity of these photos of Billem, he also took out the first photo that appeared and criticized it, in the eyes of the layman, Duke's analysis is almost impeccable, and of course he chooses to believe that these photos of Duke are faked.

But in the eyes of an expert like Dr. Sheila, Duke's involvement of the first photo is a big question, and of course, if it weren't for the CIA's people, they wouldn't have been able to compare the original satellite images, and everyone wouldn't have found this huge loophole.

Now that this flaw is triggered by Snyder's series of questions, Dr. Sheila has become extremely suspicious of Dr. Duke's motives. There are already a lot of strange things about this matter, and after such an analysis by the two, these doubts become more and more prominent.

Of course, in Snyder's mind, he has begun to connect Duke with the UFO of this trip, although for Snyder, this is also a big shock, Duke has obtained some technology from the alien ruins and Duke has a direct connection with the aliens, which are completely different concepts.

Acquiring some new technology from alien ruins, the Americans themselves have this opportunity, and the technology obtained from the Roswell crash has given the American side nearly a century of leading technology. But these things are all dead, and one batch of decryption will be one less, which leaves great regret and fear in the hearts of those who know this secret in the United States.

They know that there are indeed extremely technologically advanced aliens in this world, and they are even more afraid that other countries will take the lead in establishing contact with these aliens, and obtain more advanced technology from them to change the current situation in which the United States is the dominant power. Therefore, in the face of Duke, a genius born out of nowhere, the CIA categorically decided to eradicate it and list it as the highest task in the bureau.

Originally, Snyder estimated that Duke may have happened to find an alien ruin, and then learned something from it, and then went to the United States to return to China, and continued to get more technology from it, just like the decryption of Area 51 in the United States, although there are many loopholes in this reasoning, such as the CIA's efforts, it has never found that Dr. Duke went to some places alone to conduct research, or did not find any strange objects from him.

This has left Snyder's theory that Duke is connected to aliens lacking conclusive evidence.

Judging from the intelligence Snyder has collected so far, the director of the CIA's Noland will not agree to sign and agree to get rid of Duke as the highest priority task in the bureau just because of these suspicions about Duke.

Regardless of whether such people have anything to do with aliens or not, they are all extremely dangerous figures to the United States.

But this UFO incident on Google satellite imagery made Snyder vaguely feel that something seemed wrong with Duke in this incident. Duke's performance was a little too unexpected and too high-profile.

"Alright, Dr. Sheila, you take a computer security expert with you and Google to take a closer look at the various possibilities of intrusion and see if you can find some new clues." Snyder doesn't want to tell Dr. Sheila about Duke's relationship with aliens, but Snyder needs to figure out how the satellite image was tampered with.

As far as the US military, which relies heavily on computer network warfare, is concerned that this computer intrusion was organized by Duke, it would be a bit too terrible, and Google, as a leading Internet company, will not think that there is much difference in the technical protection measures adopted by Google in terms of computer security, even if there are some differences with the US military's military network security technical means.

For example, the Pentagon's exposed network on the public network, despite all kinds of security precautions, is still often a place for geeks to visit the door, and it can be said that if it is not physically completely isolated, there is no secure network at all.

It's just that the internal network is easy to cut off, like the US military's combat command system, but it has to be exposed to the outside, and the US military's global military forces are integrated through satellites, etc., if the PLA represented by Duke has this ability to hack into Google's servers without knowing it, then it will not be a fantasy to hack into the US military's global combat network system.

Therefore, Snyder must let people figure out what happened to the Google server hack this time, Snyder does not believe that anyone in the world can really hack the Google server without leaving a trace. If Sheila can find some clues, she will be able to find the flaws left by the intruders.
