Chapter 426 The Second Encirclement of Ellen Street

[Memory memory read.]

[Cyber ​​modulator operation record read]

[Hardware damaged...]

[Data stream intercepted, recovering.]

[Little Octopus: Big brother, it is indeed a cracked version of the software and hardware, quite powerful, but once there is a problem, the person will die directly.]

Ellen Street is a slum area composed of a bunch of irregular low-rise apartment buildings with decades of history. The illegal additions are distorted and blocked above the street. Walking on the street, even the lights of Night City are not very visible, let alone the night sky.

Before the whole operation began, Lil was still checking and scanning the memory of the stall owner.

Because the Brain Demon Gang is a shady group that is good at using conspiracy and tricks.

Combined with the stall owner's performance before and after, this location is very likely to be remotely controlled by the Brain Demon Gang to reveal the stall owner. They just want people to come to the door.

Lil withdrew from the database and returned to reality.

The Phoenix Nightclub on Ellen Street that was destroyed is still being rebuilt and surrounded by scaffolding. Workers can be seen working with special work prostheses next to it. After work, they go to the sex doll shop next to it to relieve stress.

On the surface, Ellen Street has not changed at all.

No one from the Brain Demon Gang was seen.

Some people asked: Why does Lille seem to get nothing from information every time when he now has both the experience of studying at Arasaka Academy and the advanced tutorial of network monitoring?

First of all, information technology is not magic. It is not that information is attached to the magic elements floating in the air. Magicians work hard to practice, and what seventh-level magicians can suppress sixth-level magicians.

Information attack and defense is a multi-dimensional job. Computing power is a very general concept. Even if the attacker has only 1CCU of computing power, as long as he obtains system permissions, this 1CCU of computing power may cause the entire enterprise to collapse.

On the contrary, complex encryption transformations, endpoint protection projects, and multiple communication bands combined encryption use brute force cracking without knowing the key, and the required computing power increases exponentially.

The simplest dynamic grid encryption transformation algorithm can change the key 16 times per minute. The key consists of 729 digits and specified characters, making brute force cracking almost impossible.

More complex receiving and transmitting equipment can even directly identify complex communication waves, using specific mathematics and change algorithms to cover extremely low frequency waves to extremely high frequency waves that may exist at the same time, with a frequency band covering 3HZ~3GHZ, intercepting the content of the specified frequency band according to the change algorithm per unit time, and then transforming and translating it into specific data.

The complexity of mathematics, the complexity of cryptography, and the development of electronic technology determine that in this era of Internet collapse and LANs everywhere, it is impossible to crack a special LAN on the Internet purely by brute force.

If you try to crack it by brute force, the probability of accidentally accessing it, the size of the denominator can easily exceed the total number of particles in the universe - even exponential times this number.

If it is in the Badlands, the radio channel may be relatively quiet, and brute force cracking is still feasible; but in Night City, too much invisible information continues to be transmitted, and it is impossible to use brute force to run rampant in thousands of networks.

This is impossible, even if Bartmos comes, it is impossible, after all, the Internet no longer exists.

Knowledge is not a "power" that can be easily manifested, otherwise there would not be so many dropouts in Night City--

After all, watching Mewtwo is really more fun than studying. Most people can only see specific enemies:

Today, the neighbor across the door is unhappy, tomorrow, the classmate is unhappy, the day after tomorrow, the guy who takes the bus every day is unhappy, or someone who appears on the TV, or someone who disagrees with a certain ID in the online community.

A strong prosthesis can directly solve this conflict, and a gun is more thorough.

Hackers need to solve "problems", so they need to learn.

If the number is still too large after learning, then solve the problem through social engineering.

In most cases, hackers need to obtain an interface in the real world before they can proceed to the next step.

Secondly, although the Brain Demon Gang is also a group of explosive modification, unlike the Whirlpool Gang, they are more inclined to master knowledge rather than pure explosive modification.

They are very insidious.

Lille can find some traces of communication in the system of this stall owner, some frequency bands, ports and keys used for communication, but who can guarantee that the server used by the Brain Demon Gang to communicate with the outside world is not a honeypot that can be exploded at any time?

Everything can only be done through real contact, repeated probing, eliminating wrong options and piecing together real clues to get the real network intrusion intersection.

And contact means the possibility of falling into a trap.

So in network attack and defense, whether it is the defending party that successfully triggers the trap or the attacking party that has mastered a certain piece of real information, the first mover will have a huge advantage.

If there is no advantage

Then why do we still fight the network?

Ellen Street has been completely surrounded.

NCPD detectives are at the outermost edge, and Mox slowly forms an encirclement. A total of 262 fully armed fighters are advancing.

As a gang, Mox is not very organized, but they appear in groups on the streets. Ordinary people run away when they see them, and it is easy to identify abnormalities.

Although NCPD scolds them as trash every day, they are at least using the corporate castrated training program, and collective combat should be more orderly.

These plainclothes detectives quickly occupied the alleys and corridors between the design points suitable for fighting, and gradually checked for possible ambushes.

Finally, Mackinaw took the lead - the car was at the forefront of this encirclement.

The Brain Demon Gang is a gang that is good at conspiracy and intrigue. In the case of information asymmetry, they just launched a way to crush them from afar.

However

Lille glanced at the NCPD police who were advancing rapidly in the shadows, and felt that this batch of police was much more efficient, obviously higher than the average level of NCPD.

And they are very young.

[Communicator: River]

[Lille: New recruits? 】

【River: More than half of the people in the bureau have been arrested, and some have been dismissed. They have been recruiting new people during this period. It just so happens that this is a good opportunity for newcomers to practice, after all, you are the leaders. 】

【River: Don't underestimate these young people. Young people who have just graduated are the best. 】

NCPD usually looks useless, but there are many external factors working together.

Young people who have just graduated still have the skills and tactics they learned in school in their minds. Their prostheses and muscles still remember those movements. Their beliefs have not been changed by the complex situation in Night City. They are defeated by the feeling of powerlessness.

They are fast, healthy, and most importantly, firm in their beliefs.

[Lille: You've complained a lot about working with gangs, right? ]

[River: Haha, because you're the leader. Sorry, I gave them some information. ]

[River: Because you're the leader, they don't think there's anything wrong with it. ]

[River: Some people even think you're an undercover agent. ]

V, who was in the driver's seat, laughed out loud when he heard this: "Did you hear that, Jack? The cops are taking us as an example."

Jack chuckled, the welding light flashing.

Lear was about to experiment with a new set of equipment on Jack.

"Burning Knuckles" are boxing gloves, essentially weapons.

Whether it's Atlas or Cyberpunk, Lear needs frontal units with thicker armor.

In the trunk of Mackinaw, Jack was carrying out the final armament.

[River: But your thing is a bit oversized, you'd better register it. ]
