Chapter 82: Hacker Lesson
As a veteran cyber hacker, Sasha's professionalism goes without saying.
In terms of Lin Mo's "enlightenment" hacker common sense education, Sasha said many things in a simple and easy to understand, deep and simple explanation, which made Lin Mo gain a lot.
And he also understands one thing, that is, the hacker settings in the game cannot be applied to the cyber world that has become reality today.
At this point, even without Sasha's teachings, Lin Mo could guess it.
After all, how can the simple setting in the game compare to the complexity and variability of reality?
However, there are a lot of common senses, such as the explanation of RAM, network access to the warehouse, and quick cracking, which are very different from the settings in the game.
In reality, hackers also need to adjust their hacking strategies (intrusion protocols) to deal with different enemies.
As a brainless, one-step attack, rapid cracking is often the simplest and most effective method to hack the opponent.
As for what this "method" is, each hacker has its own way.
Some people attack ICE like a battering ram, while others secretly bypass the ICE protection.
The difference in these "methods" will also lead to different RAM consumption, the more sophisticated the hacker, the more effective their unique "method" will be, and the lower the RAM consumption.
When he heard this knowledge, Lin Mo also thought of the intellectual attribute.
The more clever the hacker, in other words, the hacker with higher intelligence attributes, the lower the RAM consumption when they hack, which is very similar to the setting in the game.
"Tell me what else you want to ask."
Sasha sat quietly in her chair with a calm expression, and her posture was upright to highlight the charming curves of her body, like a delicate Siamese cat.
Lin Mo also sat opposite her with a straight face, his expression was serious like a good student who listened to the class well-behaved, and in the face of the teacher's question, he raised his little hand and asked eagerly:
"Teacher, I want to ask, what is self-ICE?"
Sasha tried to hack Brutus's brain processor, but was resisted by a prosthetic form called "Self ICE".
Lin Mo knows that self-ICE is a prosthetic body in the game, but what is the principle of [self-ICE]?
Seeing Lin Mo posing as "I am a good student", Sasha couldn't help but smile, his elbows against the armrests, his fingers supporting his temples, and his eyes looked at Lin Mo softly:
"The self-ICE is an electronic prosthesis implanted in the frontal cortex, right next to the processor in each person's brain."
"And its function is actually very simple, this prosthetic is a mechanical structure similar to a small plug-in, with several built-in ICE defense systems to protect the user's whole body prosthesis."
Speaking of this, Sasha held his cheeks, looked at Lin Mo's eyes, and said regretfully:
"Actually, if it just provides a few additional ICE defense systems, then it's nothing, at most it's a little thicker shell."
"But the most clever thing about this prosthetic is that it is replaced, as long as a hacker tries to hack the implanter with a quick crack, this prosthetic will replace the ICE network of the user's whole body in a very short period of time, canceling the effect of the quick crack."
Lin Mo suddenly realized, and said his opinion:
"So it's like a city gate that can be replaced, when a hacker tries to break through the city gate, this prosthetic body can quickly change to another city gate, so that the hacker's attack method will be immediately disabled!"
Sasha nodded, a satisfied smile on her lips.
"That's right, this is also the most difficult point of self-ICE, when it is hacked, it will instantly switch to the next set of ICE, unless the hacker can quickly hack in a short period of time when it is switched, otherwise, the implanter will be immune to the current rapid crack."
"Now that the attack is immune, can the hackers continue to hack with other puppets?" Lin Mo asked again.
In the conversation just now, he also learned that if the hacker uses a quick crack, whether it takes effect or not, the puppet will fall into a cooldown, and it will take a while for the network access warehouse to reconstruct the [puppet].
In other words, if the opponent is immune to this attack, they can only use other types of quick cracks unless they wait for the cooldown to end.
Sasha touched the ends of his black hair, thought for a moment and replied:
"Yes, but only if the hacker must have multiple sets of components to crack quickly, which is not a simple matter."
Lin Mo's eyes froze, revealing a little doubt.
What's the matter, how does it sound like a rarity to crack components quickly?
When he first played the game, Lin Mo still remembered that most of the hacking components only needed the player's intelligence attributes to meet the requirements, and they could be made after activating the specialty.
It's really not good, just find a hacker shop, there are also a lot of quick cracking components for sale.
Looking at Lin Mo's puzzled expression, Sasha seemed to understand what he was thinking in his heart, so he continued to explain patiently with a smile:
"Maybe you have a misunderstanding of some common sense of hackers, for us cyber hackers, quick cracking components is our last hole card to deal with the enemy, do you think these hole cards will be easily exposed?"
Lin Mo shook his head: "It's true that it can't be easily exposed. ”
Sasha's smile widened, and he looked at Lin Mo with his chin in his hand.
Every time she smiles from the bottom of her heart, her good-looking eyebrows always narrow, revealing only her beautiful eyelashes and that pink eyeshadow.
"Let me ask you again, the quick cracking component is the materialization of the puppet program, and then loading it in the network access warehouse, generally speaking, in addition to making it yourself, what other ways can hackers get it?"
She asked like a teacher asking a student in class.
Lin Mo pondered for a while, frantically searching for clues in his brain about the answers to his questions.
At last, his face became a little strange, and he tried to reply, a little uncertainly:
"Spending money on the hidden black market?"
Sasha's slightly curved eyebrows widened instantly, and he looked at Lin Mo in a daze, blinking several times in a row, as if he didn't expect Lin Mo to answer like this.
After a long time, she sighed and said helplessly:
"You rich kids, do you really think that everything can be bought with money, buy hacker components from unknown sources in the black market at will, and you are not afraid of viruses? Besides, how can it be so easy to buy a really good product? ”
Seeing Lin Mo's innocent look, Sasha didn't continue to sell Guan Zi, and then replied:
"In Night City, for every cyber hacker in the wild road, there is one thing that cannot escape on their way to becoming a cyber hacker, and that is to enter cyberspace, commonly known as cyberspace."
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows, hearing this, he finally came to the realm he knew a little.
It's been a lot of time since he came to this world, and he still knows a little about the common sense of cyberspace.
In this world, there is often another way for those who are cyber hackers (cyber walkers) to access the network other than using regular terminals, computers, or personal cables.
That is, using a special network interface and a special network eyepiece, a network hacker can perceive and connect to the network world in 3D.
This intuitive way of observing the online world, behind it is a huge amount of data transmission, if the average person is not trained like a hacker, basically every minute because of the load of the gods, resulting in body temperature and height, their own "roasted brain" and die.
Even specially trained hackers need to be assisted by some outside equipment.
For example, a bathtub filled with ice cubes is a cheap and practical way to lower your body temperature.
