Chapter 437

The dot matrix composed of countless pixels constitutes Todd's fat face, and the most powerful king of hackers in history shows his true face at this time.

The time when he was active was decades ago, but now he is old and frail, and is on the verge of the end of his life. Xu Yang thought secretly. This conference has far-reaching intentions, and it may be a major opportunity for him to completely leave the physical form.

Xu Yang observed other hackers.

There is no shortage of people with extraordinary strength in this hacker army. They are experienced, creative, and their skills are not inferior to Todd's, but they don't cause trouble, but behave themselves. After all, every hacker has more or less learned lessons from the technical documents left by Todd. It is no exaggeration to say that Todd is the ancestor of all hackers.

Todd's happy head began to speak, his eyes were still kind and kind, his face still had fat, only his mouth opened and closed, like a graduation project for three years of animation.

"Long time no see!" Todd's words popped out above its avatar in the form of code, placed in a bubble like a dialog box, and accompanied by the "Didi" message prompt sound, which is quite crisp, and reminds people to go back to the early years In the days of Internet surfing, the atmosphere of a retro chat room came to us.

"Welcome everyone to this conference." Todd sent out a second chat bubble, which pushed out the previous dialog box, its transparency gradually increased, and gradually faded to nothingness, "Obviously you all discovered that this is the Deep Anonymous Network road server."

"I have verified the unique key of everyone here." Todd continued to send a message, "We successfully avoided agents and spies and met in this unique secret space. I am afraid that such a grand event will be unprecedented. I am very moved, It is the Internet communication service that saved human civilization. The brilliant financial activities are also based on the Internet sites all over the world. The best of the bunch, let's cheer for it!"

"marvelous!"

"cool!"

"The Deep Anonymous Web Lives!"

"Nice to meet you, buddy." Communication bubbles popped up above everyone's heads, and even though they could transmit hundreds of megabytes of information in a second, they still chose to use this old-fashioned communication method to pay homage to Todd.

The deep anonymous network is of great significance. Xu Yang used it to find Mateo and accept the initial contract, so he understands how important this thing is.

Before Todd could continue, Xu Yang saw that the entire virtual network base became active.

First hundreds, and then thousands of microscopic creatures crawled out of the data sand dunes piled up with hexagonal gravel. Their bodies varied in size, the small ones were like mosquitoes, the big ones were shaped like buildings and vehicles, and their bodies were shining with colorful colors. A colorful mosaic map, inside is a string that is constantly tumbling.

"Don't worry, folks," Todd said, "these are the native inhabitants of the server, mostly composed of information, some digital beings based on wild artificial intelligence, and people who have given up their bodies in the process of using their digital minds. , They can’t fight against the infinite chaos of large numbers, and they also become this form, adding to the chaos symbols, and all people who abuse the number mind will fall into this fate.”

This is the most amazing scene that Xu Yang has seen in his life. There are digital beings of all sizes, big and small. They have edges and corners, and the amount of data can be distinguished from their postures.

Hackers consciously shift their positions to avoid bumping into these digital lives floating on the server disks. Once they are swallowed by their giant mouths, although they are not fatal, they will also lose personal information.

In an instant, Xu Yang traveled to another corner of the virtual space, and in the blink of an eye, he couldn't see the pink-haired girl from Xintai Xizhou before.

Observing carefully, he found a gap in the center of the entire data dune, tearing apart the entire server and extending to the bottomless night at both ends.

"I've awakened them to give you insight, because these digital beings are eroding the foundation of the entire deep anonymous network." Todd sent a message, "Wherever they pass, channels are blocked, files disappear, those with basic consciousness Digital life devours other data to grow itself, growing bigger and bigger like slime gel. The strongest of them have endangered the existence basis of the entire deep anonymous network."

When Xu Yang observed the bottom of the chasm, he felt a sense of terror. An unprecedentedly huge digital life lay at the bottom. The shining dark purple evil sun will rush up and engulf everything at any time.

There is a crisis happening on the deep anonymity web.

"If there is no deep anonymous network." Xu Yang sent his message, "Hackers will have nowhere to go."

"Yes," Todd responded, "we have threats on two fronts. On the one hand, the establishment of the Sea of ​​Hillis means that the company's public network will be invulnerable; on the other hand, the rampant artificial intelligence and Wild digital life is eroding our dark homeland. This conference is to solve these two problems, and now, I hope that all the heroic and excellent hackers present will listen to my insights."

"In this century," Todd continued, "elite hackers continue to breach corporate security defenses, and the emergence of the digital mind is a double-edged sword. Both cybersecurity and hackers use the extra computing power it provides to sift through and decipher data patterns. Look for loopholes in the construction and cracking of keys. Obviously, hackers are more skilled in this area, so companies have terminated the training of digital mind engineers to prevent them from falling into the dark side of power."

"The emergence of Sea of ​​Hillis urges us to continue to win in this competition," Todd said. "We are hackers, and our only enemy is the information barriers that companies build higher and higher. We are the information of this era." Grand theft, affecting terminal equipment, shutting down exchanges, emptying and stealing any digital assets in cash cards, stealing key information, creating signal jamming on the battlefield, only LAN and physical disconnection can escape our terminating skills !"

The boldness and courage of the King of Hackers inspired the hackers present, and Xu Yang also felt a little throbbing.

In the battle of the century to end corporatism, hackers should be the first to break the deadlock. He was born as a network security engineer, but his fate was ultimately deeply bound to the way of hacking, which is also due to his personality.

"For this reason." Todd said, "I stole part of the source code of Sea of ​​Hillis, which is enough for you to understand the basics of its framework, so that you won't be helpless when attacking or building your own XLS system in the future; It is decided to pass the service key of the deep anonymous network to you, and use it, you can continue to configure anonymous servers in various places, divert data through encryption algorithms, and thus delay the progress of the entire large server being swallowed by digital life."

A large number of folders appear on the left and right sides of Todd's avatar.

Xu Yang checked briefly, one side is part of the project files of "Sea of ​​Hillis", and the other side is the port key of the deep anonymous network.

People have to set up their own servers to share the traffic pressure for the overwhelmed deep anonymous network. As they can see, this big server is full of violent digital life and is no longer safe.

It is a work of the utmost dedication, with no profit in it but a contribution, each one sharing the endless burden of the deep, anonymous web.

"I, Todd Compson, am heading towards retirement and the end of my physical body, and I will entrust my life on a server in the future." Todd concluded, "My future life and death depend entirely on whether you are willing to take over the major responsibility of maintaining the server." Responsibility, if the torch is passed on from generation to generation of hackers, and the maintenance of this ultimate server continues to survive, I will live forever, immortal, and live forever. If this baton finally breaks, I will also disappear on the day the server shuts down. moment."

The moment the final message was sent, all the hackers present saw Todd's pixel map gradually disintegrating and fading in the air, turning into a black and white photo, heralding the fall of the King of Hackers.

The brisk music of the golden age of corporatism sounded, and under their joint witness, Todd's digitized personality information was uploaded into the digital space of the deep anonymous network, condensed into an ordinary hexagonal gravel, and fell into the sand dunes, Mixed with other data sets, it is indistinguishable from each other.

Legendary hacker Todd Compson has died at the age of 85.

Xu Yang was lucky to have witnessed all this.

After he disappeared, all the hackers sat down on the data dunes and began to receive and download the two major legacy left by Todd.

Part of the source code for Sea of ​​Hillis, and the server configuration key for the Deep Anonymous Web.

Todd cleverly left a series of keys, only experienced hackers can break it, like a delicate mechanism without losing difficulty, as the final test, the faster you can unlock it, the stronger the hacker's skills .

Legendary hackers broke the keys one by one and downloaded the files. There were 495 elite hackers present, Xu Yang exhausted his computing power, entered the download section, and found that he was the 56th cracker.

It seems that there are at least 55 people whose computing power is higher than his, and this figure roughly reveals Xu Yang's position on the world rankings.

It is worthy of being a hacker conference full of masters, and there are strong hands among the strong.

After downloading and studying the two major pieces of information, many hackers turned away and disappeared into the virtual space.

Xu Yang didn't leave in a hurry, but calculated and analyzed on the spot, digesting the legacy left by Todd, and some other hackers stayed here for a long time, silently studying these core information.

Xu Yang first studied the core code of Sea of ​​Hillis.

It is a brand-new technology that integrates the advantages of artificial intelligence and digital mind, and builds a multi-model collaborative hierarchical intelligent operating system, allowing operators to drive vast network security systems with cognitive intelligence, surpassing all previous traditional encryption methods.

A traditional firewall is like a "wall". If the wall is bypassed or cracked, the protection will also fail, and the key must be replaced in time to avoid injection attacks and malicious data.

The Sea of ​​Hillis is the real "sea", which requires the attacker to temporarily upload the consciousness inside the Sea of ​​Hillis, otherwise no external operations can be performed. And once you enter the Sea of ​​Hillis, you will feel huge resistance at any time. The deeper you swim, the easier it is to fall into it, and eventually suffocate and submerge, thus achieving perfect defense.

All enterprises are connected with each other, and all giant enterprises will launch the Hillis Sea system, Xu Yang secretly said.

Sure enough, traditional hackers will be at a loss for the new network from now on. He himself has only initially identified this system and knows its way, so he won't be submerged in it.

After watching Sea of ​​Hillis, Xu Yang downloaded the port key of the Deep Anonymous Network and planned to build a server room in Anjiu City to share the data pressure.

It's an ongoing business, and if the deep anonymity network is completely broken, then hackers will have nowhere to go, which is of great significance.

After doing all this, Xu Yang took a last look at Digital Dune.

A large number of crazy digital lives are surging on the gorgeous sand of information. Many hackers choose to stay here for a long time and become the guardians of the sand dunes. crash time.

The hackers without a camera are also constantly discussing the operation of the entire organization after the death of the founder Todd.

Everything is developing quietly and intensively, Xu Yang secretly understands.

This is a one-of-a-kind conference, and as Todd said at the beginning, there will never be a second such event in the world. Hackers have different positions and different goals, and it will never be possible to unite again.

It also becomes unsafe here.

Xu Yang was filled with emotions, but he still disconnected and left the entire virtual space, returning to real life.
