Chapter 705 Flaws
"It's Dr. Duke again." Snyder said to his computer consultant Dr. Sheila Kuram with Duke's image analysis paper "Not April Fool's Falls on April Fool's Day". "Dr. Sheila, what do you think about Dr. Duke's paper?"
"The argument is very rigorous and the technical analysis is flawless." As a top student in computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Sheila, who is just in her early 30s, not only can she become Snyder, a senior computer consultant at the CIA, but also has outstanding professional abilities.
"I'm not talking about technical issues," Snyder shook his head and stared at the blonde beauty in front of him, and continued, "I want to ask you, if you are a chief scientist busy with various projects, would you take the time to do this kind of thing?"
"Oh, I think under normal circumstances, I wouldn't do this." Sheila's beautiful blue eyes flashed, and she said with a strange expression. "These illusory things are not worth mentioning to me at all. Mr. Snyder, do you want to say that this farce was done by Dr. Duke?"
After Sheila finished speaking, she shook her head in disbelief, "Mr. Snyder, I think as you said just now, Dr. Duke will not be bored to do such things. Geeky behaviors like this are usually done by young people who want to do something unique, either to satisfy their vanity or to show their skills, but in any case, these will not be the reason for Dr. Duke to do this prank once won the Turing Award for Computers."
"These are of course not just pranks, Dr. Sheila," Snyder said seriously. "Most of the pictures in sensitive areas of Google satellite maps can only be placed on the website after review. Only those pictures in remote places or deserts will not be paid attention to. Therefore, during the launch process of these strictly reviewed pictures, others unconsciously disconnect and change them. Not only do they require superb computer expertise, but also extremely strict invasion means, so that Google's security system can be completely unaware of and left traces."
"Dr. Sheila, based on your professional knowledge, do you think there are such powerful people among the geeks in the world now?" Snyder asked. Sheila thought about it and shook her head. The offense and defense of network security have always complemented each other. At Google, she has hired many top geeks as her security consultants and constantly used simulated attack methods to test and improve her security system. If a person wants to fight with such a first-class geek team, he has to complete the invasion without knowing it. It is like a fantasy.
"So this is not something that individual geeks can do with boredom or show off. It should be done by a team of top computer experts in an organized and premeditated manner." Snyder thought he had figured out the truth behind the incident. "Their purpose was to muddle the water and use it to cover up some facts."
Dr. Sheila was completely confused when she heard this, "Mr. Snyder, what organization would do such an inexplicable and unprofitable thing?" Sheila asked back, "What are they going to cover up the truth about what matter?"
Snyder was considering whether he wanted to tell this beautiful woman with outstanding skills but a one-way thinking, and her eyes accidentally swept across Sheila's towering peaks. She was flashed by the deep snow-white ravine, and her mind couldn't help but tremble. Although Snyder is now focused on how to solve the huge threat of Duke, and is trying his best to climb to the throne of directors to become one of the most powerful people in the world.
However, Snyder still has normal needs for a man, but although the grass beside him has a little one-way thinking, it cannot be easily provoked. As a delicate beauty in the game, there is no scandal among the tigers and wolves. This matter itself is worth Snyder's deep thought.
"What am I thinking?" Snyder was secretly alert to his brief loss of consciousness. As a veteran agent, he should have strong control over beauty. However, Hilla was dressed too sexy today, which made Snyder feel a little nervous.
The conclusion that Duke may be related to aliens is only known in the CIA by very few senior officials. Snyder decided not to let this beautiful female doctor know, and the principle of confidentiality is that the fewer people know, the safer it is.
"This is the answer we are looking for," Snyder said in accordance with Sheila's words. "Dr. Duke said that the UFO photos that appeared later were exactly the same as those found by two students at Caltech University, proving that this matter was a complete farce and a joke made by a certain UFO to the world. What do you think of Dr. Duke's conclusion?"
"Mr. Snyder, I have some doubts about this. Most of the analysis articles of Dr. Duke can withstand repeated inspections by everyone. However, I used to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the UFO images discovered by early California Institute of Technology students according to Dr. Duke's analysis method, and found that there was almost no trace of PS. Moreover, I obtained the original image taken from a satellite company. There was indeed such a thing. So I really don't know why Dr. Duke said that."
Dr. Sheila's eyes were full of questions. Of course, Dr. Sheila knew that Dr. Duke did not have the convenience of work like her and could use the CIA platform to get the original pictures. So Dr. Sheila could understand Dr. Duke's wrong conclusion before Snyder asked questions. But now after Snyder extended this matter in the direction of conspiracy, Dr. Sheila was a little confused.
Duke obviously did not expect that in order to completely overturn the authenticity of the photos of Bileme, he also criticized the first photos that appeared. In the eyes of laymen, Duke's analysis was almost impeccable, so of course he chose to believe that Duke's photos were all forged by someone.
But in the eyes of experts like Dr. Sheila, it is a big question for Duke to pull the first photo in. Of course, if it weren't for the CIA, if you can't get the original satellite pictures to compare, you wouldn't have discovered this huge loophole.
Now that this flaw was triggered by Snyder's series of questions, Dr. Sheila also had great doubts about Dr. Duke's motives. There were many strange things about this matter. After the two analyzed it, these doubts became more and more prominent.
Of course, in Snyder's mind, Duke has begun to connect with the UFO of this trip, although this is also a huge impact for Snyder. Duke obtained some technology from the alien ruins and Duke's direct connection with the aliens is completely different concepts.
Americans have this opportunity to obtain some new technology from alien ruins, and the technology obtained from the Roswell crash has allowed the United States to gain nearly a century of leading technology. However, these things are dead, and one group of decryption will be less, which leaves great regrets and fears in the hearts of those who know this secret.
They knew that there were indeed aliens with extremely advanced technology in this world. They were even more afraid that other countries would take the lead in establishing connections with these aliens, obtaining more advanced technology and changing the current situation where the United States was dominant. Therefore, facing Duke, a genius who emerged from nowhere, the CIA would decisively decide to eliminate them and list them as the highest level of the mission in the bureau.
Originally, Snyder estimated that Duke might have happened to find an alien ruin, and then learned something from it. After returning to China after studying in the United States, he kept getting more technology out of it. Just like the decryption thing done by the United States District 51, although there are many loopholes in this reasoning, such as the CIA's efforts, he never found that Dr. Duke went to some places to study alone, or found no strange objects around him.
This has left Snyder's inference that Duke's connection with aliens lacks conclusive evidence.
If we only look at the information Snyder has collected, Director Noland of the CIA would not agree to sign and agree to list Duke as the highest priority task in the bureau because of these suspicions of Duke. The key is a series of amazing achievements after Duke returned to China, especially after the CIA spent a lot of effort to find out Duke's huge contribution to China's military breakthrough, Norland had a murderous intent.
Such talents are extremely dangerous to the United States, regardless of whether they have any relationship with aliens.
However, this UFO incident on Google satellite images made Snyder vaguely feel that something was wrong with Duke in this matter. Duke's performance was a bit unexpected and too high-profile.
"Okay, Dr. Sheila, you have a computer security expert on this matter and google to carefully study the possibilities of various invasions to see if you can find some new clues." Snyder did not want to tell Dr. Sheila about the speculation that Duke had to do with aliens, but Snyder needed to figure out how the tampering of satellite images was accomplished.
For the US military, which is extremely dependent on computer networks to fight, if this computer invasion was organized by Duke, it would be a bit terrible. As an Internet leader, Google's technical protection measures adopted in terms of computer security are somewhat different from those of the US military's military's network security technology, Snyder would not think there is much difference.
For example, the network exposed to the public network in the Pentagon has taken various security precautions, but it is still often a place for geeks to visit. It can be said that if it is not physically completely isolated, there will be no safe network at all.
It’s just that the internal network is easy to be separated, such as the US military’s combat command system, but it has to be exposed to the outside, allowing the US military to integrate its global military power through satellites. If the PLA represented by Duke has this ability to invade Google servers without any knowledge, then invading the US military’s global combat network system will not be a fantasy.
Therefore, Snyder must make people understand what happened to the intrusion of Google server this time. Snyder does not believe that anyone in the world can really do it to intrude Google servers without leaving any traces. If Sheila can find some clues, she will definitely find the flaws left by the intruder.
