Wei Dongsheng's invasion of the NSA was a quiet war without gunpowder, and no matter how much the Oahu Cryptography Center Branch in Hawaii reported to the top, it would also be confined to a small circle of the Department of Defense.

The Pirate Bay is the world's largest torrent server, and although the homepage has been unavailable for a long time, there are still many loyal fans who come to check it out from time to time.

Huaguo has listed The Pirate Bay as a target of network blocking, and its website servers and tracker servers are no longer accessible to Huaguo normally. However, just like other websites blocked by Huaguo, there are always some netizens who skillfully bypass the Great Firewall (greatest_fireall) and look beyond the scenery. At 0:00 New York time, it was 12 o'clock in Yanjing time, and some netizens took advantage of the lunch break to try to refresh The Pirate Bay, and then they were pleasantly surprised that the Pirate Bay homepage had new content.

At first, netizens thought that the copyright dispute in The Pirate Bay had taken a turn for the better, and happily clicked on the link to search for seed replenishment, but unexpectedly saw a compressed package containing seventy-two practical hacking tools.

In the txt file attached to the package, Wei Dongsheng explains the meaning in English, Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish, Japanese and other mainstream languages: "The Avengers avengers_group a group of geeks who also oppose the current copyright system. After the unfair encounter in The Pirate Bay, geeks from all over the world spontaneously gathered to form the Avengers organization and resolutely oppose Israel

"The revolutionary group of the industrial age is the workers, and the revolutionary tools are the factory-made tanks and artillery; The revolutionary group in the information age is programmers and hundreds of millions of netizens, and the revolutionary tools are hacking tools for code assembly. ”

"Yes, it's a cyber revolution."

"Friends, please believe in our power, and please believe in your own power. Cybersecurity technology is our weapon. In this information age, aircraft carriers on the ocean and tanks on land are ironclad wooden shields that are about to be eliminated by flintlock pistols. The point of our destruction of the US Department of Defense hacking group is like the flintlock army storming the castle of a feudal lord. ”

"MP+, RI+, or any other copyright organization, we are here to formally warn you: the hegemony of the 1.4 million army, navy, and air force that you honor has been defeated without a fight. This hacking kit is our captive and our result. If you are not willing to surrender on the spot and immediately lift the unfair oppression of The Pirate Bay, we will launch a general offensive without mercy and wipe you out once and for all. ”

This murderous declaration of war has a very eyeball effect.

Statistics at the end of 2009 showed that there were 390 million Internet users in China and 1.8 billion Internet users worldwide. However, the proportion of netizens who understand computer basics is extremely low, and the number of netizens who can distinguish whether the NSA hacking tool is real or fake is even smaller.

Wei Dongsheng knew people's inertia in unfamiliar territory, and from the beginning, he entertained the NSA hacking kit, first hijacking the Pirate Bay homepage, and then using topics such as the US National Security Agency, the cyber revolution, and the revenge copyright organization to completely entertain the matter.

Stripped of the professional technical attributes, many users of The Pirate Bay spontaneously began to take screenshots to spread the Pirate Bay incident. At 16 o'clock, news reports appeared on the Internet: "Several hacker teams suspected of being affiliated with the National Security Agency may have been breached, and a large number of hacking tools have been stolen." The United States has always attached great importance to cyber warfare ......"

"A hacker group claiming to be the Avengers claimed online that it had successfully cracked and stolen 'cyber weapons' developed by hacker teams such as SpaceTime and equation_group. The group posted some of the stolen documents for free in The Pirate Bay, mainly targeting routers such as Cisco and Fortinet, as well as operating systems such as Unix, Linux, Indos, and macOS. The Avengers are also planning to auction more and more powerful hacking tools online for a fixed price of 3 million bitcoins. ”

"Bitcoin is ....... The current price of each bitcoin is $0.12, and 3 million bitcoins is equivalent to about $360,000, and the asking price of the Avengers is unbelievably low. However, unlike other currencies, the total number of bitcoins is very limited, and according to its algorithm, it will be permanently limited to 21 million after a few years. 3 million is one-seventh of the total amount of Bitcoin, and even if it is only worth $360,000 or less, it will be difficult for buyers to scrape together 3 million in a short period of time. ”

"Security experts are still analyzing the Avengers' claims. While the authenticity of all the hacking tools is uncertain, several experts say the hacking tools and code released by the group appear to be genuine. However, due to the Avengers' low asking price and the fact that bidders must pay upfront, it is very likely that it is a scam of a repost hacking kit. ”

"The companies involved in the reporter's connection and the National Security Agency did not comment, except for Cisco, which said it was investigating."

"When asked about the connection between the space-time organization Spacetime and the Equation Organization equation_group the NSA, the NSA neither admitted nor denied it, and the attitude was very ambiguous."
