Chapter 1179: What to Do with You?
When everyone listened to the hairy child tell these situations one by one, they were also a little emotional.
Unexpectedly, at a young age, he actually worshipped the world's number one hacker king as an idol, no wonder he would do such an earth-shattering event.
It's just that in this way, it almost brought a catastrophe to the capital.
Kevin Mitnick, once one of the most troublesome computer bugs in history, has completed a vast collection of articles, books, films, and documentaries.
Since his release from federal prison, Mitnick has changed his lifestyle and become one of the world's most sought-after computer security experts.
In his first work, the world's most famous hacker gave a new meaning to the Buddhist phrase "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot".
In The Art of Anti-Spoofing: The World's Legendary Hacker's Experience, Mitnick invites readers into the complex thinking of hackers, describing a plethora of real-world spoofing scenarios, as well as social engineering attacks against organizations and their consequences.
He focused on the human factors involved in information security, explaining why firewalls and encryption protocols weren't enough to stop a clever attacker from hacking into a company's database system, or an angry employee from taking down a company's computer system.
He exemplified how even the most well-protected information systems can become vulnerable to a determined veteran scammer masquerading as an IRS clerk or other seemingly innocent persona.
The Art of Anti-Spoofing – The World's Legendary Hackers' Experiences Explores the Reasons Why Each Attack Succeeds and How to Prevent Them from Attackers and Victims.
The narrative of this book is very engaging and highly readable, as if it were a detective novel that introduces real criminal cases.
Most importantly, Mitnick has made amends for his past sins by providing a number of guidelines in The Art of Anti-Spoofing – Lessons from the World's Legendary Hackers, which companies can refer to when developing security protocols, training programs, and safety manuals to ensure that the high-tech security barriers that the company has invested in are not useless.
Drawing on his experience, he made many recommendations to prevent security breaches, and he hoped that people would not forget to beware of the most serious security danger - human nature.
"In the beginning, the term hacker generally referred to people and computer scientists who were good at IT technology." After listening to the hairy child's explanation, Han Ya said with some emotion, "They are proficient in various programming languages and various operating systems, and they have grown up with the development of computers and networks. Strictly speaking, what they do is not necessarily malicious sabotage, they are a group of technicians who are criss-crossing the network, keen on scientific and technological exploration, computer science research. In the hacker community, the word Hacker undoubtedly has a positive connotation, such as systemhacker is familiar with the design and maintenance of operations; PasswordHacker is good at finding out the user's password, and if you are a computerhacker, you are a master of knowing the computer and getting into the operating system of someone else's computer. ”
After a pause, Han Ya said to the hairy boy again, "However, what you are doing now has indeed endangered national security, and has caused very serious losses to the country, and even harmed the lives of many people." ”
"I really didn't know anything like this was going to happen...... "The hairy boy really didn't seem to know anything about it, "It's just that someone told me that after breaking this system, I can become the world's top hacker master, and it is possible to obtain a status like Kevin Mitnick, which is a great temptation for me, and I can't refuse." ”
"Looks like you've been deceived." Lin Xiao finally expressed his opinion at this time, "Therefore, children are easy to be impulsive, and once they find something they like, it is difficult to resist temptation, which is why you can't be granted some rights before you are minors." It's like on Hong Kong Island, this time the students are making trouble, just like you. ”
"But aren't they treated leniently, so am I immune from prosecution?" When the hairy boy mentioned this, he looked at Lin Xiao pitifully and asked.
"Your question is more complicated, it depends on the verdict of the military court, I can't give you a specific answer." Lin Xiao didn't want to give him a reassuring pill or something, so he directly blocked his words.
Just kidding, everyone was tossed by him enough tonight, if Lin Xiao hadn't stepped forward, something big would have happened in the capital!
If Lin Xiao doesn't take the opportunity to scare him, then he's sorry.
However, when it comes to the problem of this hairy child, Lin Xiao also feels a little headache, after all, these people are not easy to deal with, they are not only impulsive, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, they like to cause trouble, they will do it if they disagree, and the most critical issue is the Law on the Protection of Minors to support them, which is really difficult to deal with.
In fact, today's hackers are basically a group of hairy children.
Today, hackers are no longer little-known figures on the Internet, they have developed into a unique group on the Internet, they have different ideals and pursuits from ordinary people, have their own unique behavior patterns, and there are many hacker groups organized by some like-minded people on the Internet.
But where did these people come from? What kind of people are they?
In fact, except for a very small number of professional hackers, most of them are amateur hackers, and hackers are actually no different from ordinary people in reality, maybe he is a student in an ordinary high school, just like the hairy child in front of Lin Xiao.
Someone once looked at the age of hackers, and the main group of hackers were young people between the ages of 18 and 30, mostly men, but there were also many women who joined the ranks.
Most of them are students in school, because they have a strong desire for computers, and they are curious, energetic and other factors, which are one of the reasons why they have entered the hall of hackers.
There are also some hackers who mostly have their own careers or jobs, which are roughly divided into programmers, senior security officers, security researchers, professional spies, security consultants, etc.
Of course, the skills and level of these people are incomparable to the little hackers who are just getting started, but they have also explored it little by little from this step.
Now, the majority of hackers are young people, and that's exactly what happened.
Nowadays, it is difficult to see old hackers over the age of 30 on the Internet, and many hackers generally disappear from the Internet after they get married. Why are they leaving?
In fact, these are easy to understand, as they grow older and mature mentally, the curiosity of their youth gradually breaks away from them, they begin to enter a stable period, and their physical strength and energy also begin to decline, and they no longer stay up late as before, and they don't know how to be tired.
For example, I began to have the burden of a family, and I had to run for my livelihood and career.
Because of the hacker industry, only a very small number of them are professional hackers, and many are amateurs, and they spend a lot of time and energy on doing things without pay, so it is natural for them to quit when they are older.
Of course, there are many people who will be interested in their hacking career for a lifetime, and after retiring, some of them may go to the security industry, become security experts, anti-hacker experts, continue to study technology, and some people will do some careers that have nothing to do with hackers.
In fact, the top hackers now are basically in Huaxia.
In a world-level programming competition held before, only one of the top 10 was unidentified, the other nine were all Chinese without exception, and only the eleventh was American.
From this point of view, Huaxia's hacking technology should also be the most powerful, because the hacking technology itself represents a powerful programming technology, which is beyond doubt.
Lin Xiao and Han Ya continued to interrogate this hairy boy, and got a lot of useful information from him, such as about the group of hackers behind him.
"They don't usually have much contact with me, sometimes they get together for a meeting or something, and it's all on the Internet......," Mao Kid said, "It's that kind of text-only communication, and I get the most out of it, after all, they are well-informed and skilled, but in recent months, this kind of communication has become less and less, maybe they feel that they can't bring me much guidance anymore, and I am surpassing them and becoming a new hacker." ”
"I don't know if you have become a new hacker, but I know that you are in big trouble now, your behavior has violated a very serious law, and it has caused huge losses to the military and endangered national security!" Lin Xiao continued to scare him, "So, what should I do with you now?" ”
The hairy boy heard Lin Xiao say such a big thing, and his heart suddenly felt a little nervous.
After all, he is only less than sixteen years old, that is, a hairy child student in the first year of high school, if he really encounters such a major event that may determine his life and death, how can he calm down.
Seeing that the other party was almost scared by him to pee his pants, Lin Xiao felt a lot more comfortable in his heart.
"Ahem." Lin Xiao coughed twice, and then said to the hairy child, "Now, I'll give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, you have to consider whether you are willing to accept it?" ”
"Guilty of meritorious service?" After hearing these four words, the hairy child immediately became excited, "I am willing, I am willing!" ”
In any case, the meritorious service meant that at least he did not need to think about being sentenced to death by a military court.
As a first-year high school student, he didn't know what the situation was with the military court, but he just felt that once he was sent up, he was likely to be involved in military law and directly pulled to Tutu Tutu.
Now that Lin Xiao suddenly expressed his willingness to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions, of course the hairy boy was happy.
