Chapter 33: Super Servers

The organizer of this hacking contest provided a server, and announced that the firewall of the server was jointly developed by the world's top computer giants, and the terminal of the server is also connected to a supercomputer, within twelve hours, any hacker can legally attack the server, after breaking the server, you can directly face the supercomputer behind the server, as long as you get the control of the computer, and enter your hacker code name in the core folder of the computer, you will be considered successful.

I have to say that the difficulty in this is quite large, and the average hackers basically retreat when they see the specific competition system, and those hackers who finally decide to participate in this competition are undoubtedly masters, Feng Xiaotian decided to participate, can he be regarded as a master of hackers? On this issue...... It can only be seen how he plays next.

Feng Xiaotian got up and went to the toilet, and then sat in front of the computer and waited, and soon, the time came to nine o'clock in the evening - that is, nine o'clock in the morning American time, according to the information provided by the New York Times, Feng Xiaotian had already logged in to the website provided by the organizer, and as soon as nine o'clock arrived, a window popped up on the website, as long as you click on this window, you can log in to the server - of course, logging into the server is one thing, if you want to break it, it depends on the hackers' respective skills.

Feng Xiaotian quickly logged in to the server, and then he began to look for the vulnerability of the server.

What is a server? To put it bluntly, it is computer software and hardware, or a matrix composed of many identical software and hardware, its main body is actually an enhanced version of the computer, a computer with powerful computing power, capable of processing a huge flow of information at the same time, the server provided by this hackath is really powerful, at least Feng Xiaotian has not been able to find a breakthrough after looking around.

Five minutes later, Feng Xiaotian stopped what he was doing, he began to think, through the temptation just now, he found that this server actually has as many as a hundred processing systems, which makes Feng Xiaotian have a feeling that it is difficult to speak, because if you want to break this server, you have to paralyze it, to use a popular analogy: you want to search for something from a person, if this person does not cooperate, what should you do? Of course it's to control him, right?

The question arises: people have 100 processing systems, which means that you are dealing with 100 people, and you yourself have only one person, how do you subdue them? The disparity in strength is too great!

Feng Xiaotian thought for a while, and vaguely thought of a feasible solution: since this server can't be solved by violence, then simply use other methods, and the way Feng Xiaotian thought of was to get the password of the server.

Every server has a password, and this password is only known to the administrators, how to get this password? The best way to do this is, of course, to find it directly from the management.

Feng Xiaotian thought of this, directly bypassed the core program of the server, and instead cracked the login log of the server, as long as he got the login log, he would be able to know who was the manager of this computer, and then as long as he touched the vine, things might be much easier.

At the same time, Professor Vinson, the head of the National Center for Computer Security in the United States, is standing in front of the supercomputer to check the situation, the supercomputer in front of him usually monitors all kinds of data flows on the network, but today, half of the supercomputers are paying attention to the situation of this hacking competition, Professor Vinson looked at the various data analysis on the screen, and after a while he looked down at his watch, and then he heard him smile and say: "Seven minutes have passed, and these hackers still have not made the slightest progress, It seems that this year's hackathto is not ordinarily difficult. ”

When his subordinate Rocky heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yes, don't look at these people who are usually very powerful, but in the face of a matrix composed of a hundred processing systems, they are all at a loss!" ”

Rocky's face is full of pride, as a staff member of the National Computer Security Center of the United States, he usually deals with these hackers, and the lawless behavior of hackers has always made him tired.

Professor Vincent smiled when he heard this: "Hehe, this hacker contest is indeed very unusual, the matrix composed of a hundred sets of software, it is naturally difficult to break through with ordinary methods, you look at these guys, they still use flood attacks, no wonder they still have no progress so far." ”

The flood attack is still very effective on the server, but that is in the face of ordinary servers, these servers only have one or two processing systems, but this server has a hundred systems, plus the configuration of the server itself is all top-notch, and the firewall used is also extremely powerful, so the effect of the flood attack is not obvious, at least for now, it seems that the server has not been affected at all, and the processing speed is still so fast.

In fact, Professor Vinson still did not say something, although the organizer did not disclose the situation about the server when announcing the competition system to the outside world, but according to the information that Professor Vinson obtained, this server is actually composed of 100 supercomputers! Want to beat it? Dream on!

Rocky didn't know this, and when he heard Professor Vincent's words, he asked a little puzzled: "Professor, why do I think this hacker contest is a little different, although this server has a software matrix, but now there are a lot of hackers who are attacking, and the flood attack they launched is even more terrifying, but even so, this server has not been affected in any way, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Hearing this, Professor Vincent said with a smile: "This is not our concern, as long as we spend twelve hours smoothly, our work will be completed, and as for the rest, we should not think too much." ”

Rocky nodded when he heard this, and stopped talking, Professor Vincent looked at it for a while, and then said hello and walked out of the monitoring room, and as he walked, he pondered: It's really strange, a few days ago, people from the National Security Agency actually found me and told me not to investigate the situation of the organizers of this competition, it seems that this should be a test conducted by a secret department, as for these hackers, it seems that they are just tools used for testing, alas, I hope this secret is not exposed, otherwise if the hackers know that they have been deceived, Then they will definitely retaliate.

- Who can break a server made up of a hundred supercomputers? These people are really, what kind of tests are they doing?
