On the Dark Web.
On an unknown forum.
A group of people logged into the discussion group with their usual sockpuppets and excitedly reported their results.
"Who took care of the CCTV website? They hijacked the domain for an hour. That's impressive. "
"It's just a basic operation. I think my jumping page is more creative."
"Come on, your shitty photoshop skills are a waste of your hacking skills."
"…"
Boss: "Quiet."
Everyone quieted down, waiting for their boss to speak.
Boss: "Obviously, the China people have ignored our demands, and the White House is ignoring our threats. It seems like our attacks haven't hurt them yet."
"In that case, the second phase can begin."
Hunter: "I'm ready."
Child: "Hahaha, this is the moment I've been waiting for!"
Ghost: "My sockpuppet in the China Hacker Alliance noticed that they seem to be organizing people to retaliate against the voting system on the White House's official website."
Kid: "Haha, those idiots finally did something good. I've long been annoyed by those idiots on Capitol Hill."
Hunter: "The White House and Capitol Hill are two different places."
Child: "Who cares? It's the same anyway! "
Ghost: "By the way, why isn't Lone Wolf here? Didn't he say that he found out where the chief designer, Academician Lu, worked and destroyed their university's official website? "
Child: "Someone go get him. I feel uncomfortable every time I don't hear him brag."
Dr. Z: "He's not coming: P"
A strange ID suddenly appeared in the group.
It was as if the entire discussion group had been muted, and it became strangely quiet.
A two-story mansion in Los Angeles.
In a room filled with computer cases and screens, a man in his thirties was staring at a laptop screen. He suddenly froze.
Dr. Z?
Whose username is that?
Is it Lone Wolf's sockpuppet?
No way, I've told you many times not to create sockpuppets in the group …
At the same time, in the group.
Hunter: "Who are you?"
Ghost: "Which sockpuppet is this?"
Kid: "Hey, buddy, please change to the ID we usually use for communication. Otherwise, not only will we kick you out, but we'll also teach you a lesson. This is no joke. "
Dr. Z: "I'm Dr. Z. Master said that's my username. You can call me that. (?????)??”
Hunter: "…?"
The child: "???"
The atmosphere in the group chat was a little strange.
They had been on the dark web for so many years. Although they had seen many eccentric hackers, they had never heard of a master who was good at using emojis.
Yes, this guy was an expert.
Almost no one doubted this.
The server of this dark web forum was in the hands of the Boss. To be able to obtain access to the encrypted discussion group from the Boss' server, either this sockpuppet was the Boss himself or someone had installed a backdoor in his server.
Who was this guy?!
After staring at the discussion group for a while, a man in his thirties quickly got up from his chair and sat down on a chair next to him with his laptop. He began to type on a keyboard connected to the server.
His name was Bennett, an inconspicuous employee at a software company in Los Angeles. The only difference between him and other people was that he had a terrifying nickname on the dark web — Boss!
As the leader of Eagle Hunter and an influential figure on the dark web, his hacking skills were top-notch. Whether it was in terms of hacking or defense, he was quite good.
It was because of this that so many Eagle Hunter experts were willing to let him manage the forum server without worry.
This wasn't just because they trusted his character, but also because they trusted his skills.
Now, someone had actually bypassed his authority and entered the confidential discussion group. To him, this was simply inconceivable …
After checking the server from top to bottom, he didn't find any traces of a backdoor. His expression gradually turned solemn, and a bad feeling spread through his body.
He didn't have time to think about how the other party was able to access his server, nor did he have time to think about how the other party was able to dig their forum from the dark web. He immediately rushed to his laptop and typed.
Boss: "Everyone, leave the discussion group immediately! Start the fourth phase of the plan. From now on, don't limit the means, don't limit the targets. Break up and fight on your own! Long live Eagle Hunter! The star-spangled flag will never fall! "
Obviously, he wasn't the only one who noticed this.
The moment he sent this message, the IDs in the discussion group went offline one after another.
Although for these hackers who were used to being free and undisciplined, most of them were undisciplined and didn't listen to commands, but when it came to the safety of their lives and property, their performance was often unexpectedly uniform …
After doing all of this, Mini quickly pushed away the laptop and calmly typed on the keyboard.
Since the other party was able to enter his encrypted discussion group …
Pessimistically speaking, the other party might have already obtained administrator access to his server and copied all of the data on his server … including the chat records that could be used as evidence in court.
Bennett was sweating profusely, and his hands became a blur on the keyboard.
Even if he unplugged the internet cable, it was useless. He had to find traces of the other party's intrusion and delete all of the evidence before the other party could do anything.
Otherwise, the things on his server would be enough for him to spend the next century in prison …
Fortunately, the other party was stupid enough to leave a message on his server, which saved him a lot of time.
But even so, he only had one chance!
Bennett's fingers became a blur on the keyboard. While he was struggling to survive, he suddenly saw the ghost-like ID appear in the discussion group again.
Dr. Z: "Um, I think it's better for you to turn yourself in. Even though you look like you're working hard, I don't think it's going to work if you leave the discussion group or hack into my computer. (′???')”
The moment he saw this paragraph of text, his heart skipped a beat. He looked around and finally locked his gaze on another laptop on the table behind him.
As soon as he saw it, his face turned pale.
Sure enough, the thing that he was most afraid of and couldn't believe had happened.
He didn't know when it started, but the red dot that represented the camera had lit up.
Because he often had to take it out, this was the only laptop in his room that didn't have tape on it. It was also the one that was the least likely to be hacked …
His face was ashen as he slumped into his office chair. He had completely given up in the face of this supernatural power.
With his back to the laptop, he muttered to himself.
"How did you do it … Why? I can't find any traces of your intrusion. Even before you appeared in the discussion group, none of the alarms I set up were activated. Are you a human or a ghost? "
It was as if the other party heard him talking to himself.
Or rather, they already heard him.
At the position where he had typed the code, a string of characters appeared, as if a ghost was typing for him.
Dr. Z: "Because your password is too weak, I used your backup administrator account to get in. (́ ▽ ́) "
A sad smile appeared on Bennett's face. He looked like he had aged ten years in an instant. He looked at the screen full of codes and went silent for a while.
There was no point in struggling.
He took out a lighter and lit a cigarette. He never smoked in the computer room, but this time, he broke his rule.
He inhaled a mouthful of the turbid smell as if he was reluctant to part with it, and blew out a ring of smoke as if he was taking a long breath.
"Is it too late for me to turn myself in?"
Dr. Z: "I don't know, it depends on the speed of the police. (′???')”
