Chapter 369: White Hat Hacker
It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and a young man in a black and white checkered shirt was sitting in front of the desk typing on the computer. A series of numbers on the computer were flying back and forth in front of the screen.
His room was decorated very simply, with only whitewashed walls. There was only a creaking bed and a dilapidated desk with peeling paint in the room.
The table was next to the bed and there wasn't even a chair inside.
The man sat in front of the computer, sometimes frowning, and sometimes stroking his chin happily.
Suddenly two red words appeared in front of his computer screen - warning.
After seeing the warning, the man became even more excited.
He entered a string of codes into the computer, and this string directly caused the light bulb connected to the pacemaker on the table to suddenly light up, and then smoke.
The reason for the bulb smoking is that the pacemaker suddenly increases the current, which burns the tungsten wire inside the bulb!
He even hacked a pacemaker!
That is to say, as long as he wants to control and kill a person, he doesn't need to use a knife at all, just press the keyboard in his hand lightly, and he can kill people thousands of miles away invisible.
Taking someone's life thousands of miles away sounds ridiculous, but hacking is completely feasible.
In today's world at least millions of people rely on these machines to live.However, as more and more electronic devices are installed in the human body, their safety has become a major issue that affects human life.
Maybe everyone is used to seeing news about websites being hacked and computer poisoning, but they never thought that the computers in our bodies are also exposed to the same risks.
Implantable devices have been around for decades, but only in recent years have they entered the homes of ordinary people.Physicians can collect valuable data from these devices -- though most of the devices used are not encrypted and have no defense mechanisms in place.
Unlike ordinary electronic devices that can be upgraded with firmware, electronic devices implanted in the human body cannot be easily updated.In addition, to add security modules to these devices, one of the biggest limitations is the "endurance" of such devices.
And this man just wanted to prove that today's implanted devices are risky. He quickly recorded his results into a video, encrypted and compressed it, and sent it to the source power pacemaker company through the "dark net" mailbox.
He wanted the company to take the code bug seriously, because a malfunction of a pacemaker could endanger the lives of patients with pacemakers.
After a while, his mailbox immediately received a reply: Thank you for the vulnerability you provided, our company no longer provides online virtual currency payment, can I transfer money through online banking?
The man hesitated in front of the computer for a long time, and the sound of shaking the bed came from the next door, which troubled him very much. Forced by his life, he took the risk of accepting the online bank remittance.
Black hat hackers refer to a group of people who specialize in creating virus Trojan horses, finding loopholes through the operating system to make huge profits, and wantonly attacking networks or computers based on personal will.The opposite is white hat hackers, which is a group of people who specialize in research or defense of network and computer technology. They are usually employed by major companies and are the guardians of the network world. "White hats" usually use their own knowledge to Technology makes network systems more secure.
And this man named Ouyang Ping'an is a white hat. He was born in a remote rural area. After graduating from a bachelor's degree, because he didn't have a suitable company, he found a cheap rental house and stayed temporarily.
He answered a phone call, and Ouyang Pingan saw that it was his mother calling, and immediately picked it up, saying: "Your father has a headache again recently, and he plans to go to the Provincial People's Office for a checkup."
"Okay, when you are free, tell me." Ouyang Ping'an said.
Ouyang Pingan thought that his father would need to spend a lot of money in the hospital. After graduation, he felt the pressure of life more and more, so he continued to search for loopholes in their websites on various Internet platforms with the software he made to search for vulnerabilities, and strived to Earn a little white hat bounty.
When he just found the loophole, Ouyang Ping'an suddenly felt a tingling pain on his forehead and cheeks, as if struck by lightning. He took a painkiller, but he didn't feel any relief today.
In the past, it was only an occasional pain, but now the frequency of this kind of pain is getting higher and higher, and the pain is more severe than ever before. Under the torture of pain, he can't concentrate on his work at all.
He wanted to sleep at first, but unexpectedly the pain became more and more painful. The pain made him upset and it was difficult to fall asleep.
I could only wrap a coat and came to the emergency department of the provincial people.
The nurse on duty woke up Liang Yi, who was sleeping. Liang Yi saw a slightly hunched man wearing glasses, about 25 or [-] years old, holding a computer in his hand, and the computer was still floating. with data.
Liang Yi put on his white coat, buttoned it up, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I have a headache, my teeth hurt, everything hurts." Ouyang Ping'an said.
"Okay." Liang Yi nodded and said, "Go register and buy a medical record."
"Okay." Ouyang Pingan nodded.
Liang Yi sat at the emergency desk and rubbed his temples. Every time he was suddenly called out, he felt dizzy.
"Come and sit down, just put the computer on the table." Liang Yi motioned him to sit opposite.
Ouyang Pingan sat down carefully.
From Ouyang Ping'an's appearance, it can be seen that he has a scientific and tyrannical face, long nose hair, unshaven beard, unkempt appearance, and long hair. It seems that he has not been cut for a long time. His skin is very white, as if he has no hair Pale in the sun, he should be an otaku who doesn't go out unless necessary.
He was very nervous and his calves would tremble. Liang Yi looked at his medical records and said with a smile, "Your name is Ouyang Ping'an?"
He nodded.
"This name is quite special, you don't have to be so nervous, your legs are shaking."
Ouyang Pingan laughed dumbly and said, "I don't know why I'm shaking,"
"What is your computer for?"
"Helping Internet companies find loopholes."
Liang Yi looked at him in surprise and said, "Are you a hacker?"
Ouyang Pingan shook his head and said, "No, hackers mostly refer to bad guys, and we help them find loopholes, which are white hats."
"Understood, kind hacker." Liang Yi said.
Although Ouyang Ping'an didn't like this title, but he couldn't explain it clearly because of his stupid mouth, so he could only nod and say, "That's almost what it means."
Seeing that he was a little more relaxed, Liang Yi got to the point and asked, "You said it hurts everywhere, but where exactly is it?"
Ouyang Pingan thought about it seriously, and said: "Before, it hurt from the left cheek, then the forehead, the temple, and now it hurts everywhere."
"What exactly does the pain look like?"
