Chapter 368 Borrowing a Sword(1/3)
"Overseas attack signal?"
Meng Lang looked puzzled.
[Yes, based on the source of the attack signal, it is initially determined that the overseas attack source is manipulating the distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) traffic attack executed by domestic Memcached and is trying to overload the target server with junk Internet traffic.
The peak attack traffic is as high as 1.94Tbps, triggering your preset network attack alarm.
This attack does not target our affiliated companies, and the threat to our affiliated companies is zero. Do you want to ignore it?】
neglect?
You want me to ignore such a big bustle? This is against human nature, okay?
Meng Lang casually opened a pack of unpalatable melon seeds and asked with interest.
“Which company is under attack?”
【The Second Research Institute of Huahang Science and Industry.】
"Huahang Science and Technology? It sounds like it's a military enterprise engaged in aerospace technology, right?" Meng Lang was immediately interested.
[According to public information, Huahang Science and Industry Group is a state-owned large-scale high-tech enterprise directly managed by the central government.
Its Second Research Institute is China’s largest missile development and production unit.]
"Um?"
Missile development and production unit?
It is self-evident that foreign hackers attacked this kind of military industrial unit in the middle of the night. They must be targeting the military intelligence in the server.
Although I already have a "CNMD" defense system here that is far ahead of this era, and it will have to be updated sooner or later, but if my good things are taken away by others...
Whether or not you should, let’s put it another way. If a hostile force obtains some incredible offensive missile technology, wouldn’t this make it more difficult for itself to defend itself?
In terms of overall strategy, the Night Demons are the enemies of mankind, but in terms of local strategy, the Night Demons are not the only enemies of ours...
Meng Lang asked with the intention of resolutely disrupting what the enemy wanted to do.
"If we help, will we expose ourselves?"
Making trouble is making trouble, and the principle of safety first must still be implemented unswervingly.
[According to data monitoring, at least four different forces are currently involved in this network offensive and defensive war, and the two sides are engaged in a melee.
Due to our technical differences, the probability of being discovered through springboard intervention is infinitely close to zero.】
"Then what are you waiting for? Go ahead and see the excitement!"
【yes!】
…
Second Research Institute of Huahang Science and Industry, Central Control Room.
At this time, blood-red pop-up windows "Warning!" popped up on dozens of large screens, and many windows even went completely black.
And the staff on site were already in a mess.
"what happened?"
Zhao Yan, the director of the institute, whose clothes were somewhat disheveled, hurried in from outside.
"We are being attacked by unknown hackers and the server has become unresponsive."
The on-site network security technical supervisor was typing rapidly on the keyboard while reporting with sweat profusely.
"What?!" Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Yan's back.
There are a large number of top-secret military technologies in the server of the Second Research Institute, and there are even the latest ones developed...
Once leaked, the consequences will be disastrous!
"How could this be? Isn't our internal network physically isolated from the external network?"
"It's a cyber espionage tool! According to our preliminary judgment, our intranet was probably invaded by the other party a few months ago.
The other party did not take action immediately, but left some hidden modules on our server, including keyloggers, file stealers and remote access software..."
"A few months ago? What did your network security department do for a living?" Zhao Yan was furious when he heard this.
But he knew that this was not the time to pursue responsibility.
"How is the situation now?"
"We found that the other party used two completely different tools and methods during the intrusion process, and the attackers are likely to come from two different organizations.
At present, the other party has invaded our internal network through pre-embedded vulnerabilities, and used a large number of DDOS attacks to block our channels to cover the intrusion.
Although we have taken emergency measures to physically block it as soon as we discovered it, but..."
"But what?" Zhao Yan's heart tightened.
"But before that, the other party is suspected to have stolen more than 18G of important information from the core server, which... may also include some test data of DF-17..."
"What?!" Zhao Yan's eyes darkened.
He knows that current network weapons have achieved partial automation and intelligence, and often do not leave much reaction time from attack to end.
By the time you realize you've been attacked, things may be irreversible.
But I know I know, but my heart is simply unable to accept this cruel reality.
That's a DF-17 ballistic missile!
Its breakthrough is that its terminal speed can reach up to 20 times the speed of sound...
In other words, this is the world's first hypersonic ballistic missile!
This is an important national weapon that will be officially unveiled at the 70th anniversary military parade next year. If the flight data is stolen by foreign countries...
When he thought about the consequences, Zhao Yan felt his brain was a little dizzy.
"What about your countermeasures?" His tone was filled with anger.
"We have notified the Network Security Department to request rapid support, performed an emergency power outage, and switched backup servers. We are currently using the preset firewall tools to regain access and try to launch a counterattack..."
The technical director's answer was unconvincing.
After all, it was a calculation without any intention. They responded in a hurry and couldn't even find everyone in the middle of the night. You can imagine the intensity of the counterattack.
Zhao Yan is not a network security technician. Although he is worried and angry, he can only wait anxiously for the final result...
"Huh?" Hearing the technical director's surprise, he immediately became nervous.
"What's wrong?"
The supervisor pointed with some surprise at the screens in front of him that were quickly returning from the red warning interface to the normal blue operation interface.
"The spam traffic attacks we have suffered are decreasing rapidly, and various modules are quickly returning to normal!
It seems...it seems that someone is helping, quickly blocking the opponent's attack path..."
"Is there anyone who can help? Is it someone from the Network Security Department?" Zhao Yan seemed to have grasped the last straw.
"Not sure, but it must be friendly forces... uh..."
However, before he finished speaking, the joy on his face froze.
Just because the blue operation interface that had just returned to normal was turning completely black at an even faster speed!
"What's going on?" Zhao Yan felt something bad in his heart.
The technical director had no time to answer, and was typing defensive instructions on the keyboard with sweat on his forehead.
Then the next second...
His computer screen also went black...
director:"……"
Zhao Yan: "..."
Looking at the dimmed control screens in the control center, Director Zhao grabbed the technical director by the collar and roared.
"Didn't you just say this was friendly troops?"
"No... it's not a friendly force. The opponent was just trying to seize the attack path belonging to the original attacker..."
To be continued...
