These people on the cruise ship are all elites in the hacker world. If they have such an opportunity, they are all eager to try it. They are not just doing it for money, but to show their abilities. Immediately, someone started tapping on the computer in front of them.
Cobain was not so anxious, he just turned on the computer and slowly lit a cigarette. Tang Kun frowned and said, "Aren't you going to take action?"
"Don't worry, let's take a look before we talk." Cobain looked at the program on the computer and whispered, "This program is not that easy to crack. I don't think they will use such a simple operation as cracking the program as an assessment method. "
Tang Kun is a complete layman on these matters. In terms of unarmed combat and combat, Tang Kun could kill everyone on the ship instantly. But when it comes to operating computers and hacking techniques, he is a complete layman, and he doesn't even understand the most basic programming languages. So he could only stand silently behind Coben and be a competent bodyguard.
Cobain looked at the complex codes on the computer and smiled coldly, "This program is not impossible to crack with an ordinary computer, but it will definitely take more time than imagined. To crack this program, a large computer must be called remotely. And Almost all large computers either belong to academic research institutions or are concentrated in some special departments. Most of them are under strict protection and have impenetrable firewalls. To call this equipment, a network intrusion must be carried out. So this The seemingly simple question is not only about program cracking, but also about network intrusion."
Tang Kun whispered, "Is there any way?"
"There is more than one way, but there is only one way to achieve it the fastest. Invade the British Harbin Supercomputing Center, obtain the permission to use the supercomputer, and use the supercomputer's supercomputing power to perform brute force cracking. This can be completed in five minutes at most. An impossible task. But there is a problem. The firewall of Harbin Supercomputing Center is not so easy to deal with. My intrusion will be discovered in less than five minutes." Cobain murmured.
Tang Kun frowned and said, "Can't you try another large computer?"
"Others are possible, but there is no guarantee that I will be the fastest." Cobain whispered, "Maybe I can find a way to solve it. The Harbin Supercomputing Center has the UK's leading supercomputer, and they have a close relationship with the Guangzhou Supercomputing Center The center is a strategic partner. So I should be able to issue a request from the Harbin Supercomputing Center and call the fastest supercomputer at present, the Tianhe-2 supercomputer from China. The cracking operation can be completed within three minutes, and then the whole body can be retreat."
Tang Kun frowned and said, "I'm afraid, you have to speed up, because everyone else is starting." Cobain stopped talking, but stared down at the screen and tapped the keyboard quickly.
Time passed little by little, and some of the originally ambitious hackers began to get frustrated and quit the competition, cursing under their breaths. "Damn, this can't be done at all." Of the hundreds of people on the ship, there are only a few dozen left who are still trying hard, and all of them are real top computer masters.
Roy from the organizer was standing in the control room of the ship, looking at the monitor screen with another man. There are dozens of monitor screens in a row, facing every corner of the ship. There are also more than a dozen computers monitoring the actions of these top hackers on the ship.
"How's the situation?" Roy asked.
"More than half of them have given up." The man said slowly, "I have to admit that the people who came this time are all experts, but are the rest the people we really need?"
"Do you think they can do it?" Roy frowned. "With the equipment they currently have, I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve this program. In fact, I don't think you need to spend any effort to do this. There is a suitable one right in front of you." candidate."
The man turned around and said, "You mean Cobain?"
"Who else besides him?" Roy shrugged, "If you want top hackers, then there are top hackers on the ship. But if you want the most powerful, then this Cobain is undoubtedly one of the most powerful. "
"We have monitored an abnormal situation. Computer No. 19 is accessing external systems through the network." A monitor in front of the computer turned around and said.
"Desk No. 19? Where is Cobain? Where is his visit target?" Roy quickly walked over to take a look, and then said in surprise, "The British Harbin Supercomputing Center? He is invading the British Harbin Supercomputing Center. , relying on his own independent operation?¡±
"Yes." The man next to Roy nodded, "This Mr. Cobain is really a respectable master."
"But the firewall of the British Harbin Supercomputing Center is difficult to break through." Roy frowned. "Even if he breaks through the firewall, he will only have less than five minutes. Even with the help of the large computer there, I am afraid it will not be possible."It's hard to crack in less than five minutes. "
"Unless the British Harbin Supercomputing Center is not his ultimate goal." Another man said slowly, "As far as I know, the British Harbin Supercomputing Center and the Guangzhou Supercomputing Center are partners. From there he can send out Request, call from China¡¯s supercomputer Tianhe-2.¡±
Roy's face changed suddenly and he lost his voice, "Tianhe-2 supercomputer, a supercomputer with a floating point operation speed of 339 billion times per second? This has been ranked first in the world many times, and is currently second only to China's Taihu Light The top computing speed of a supercomputer. This"
"If he obtains partial use rights of the Harbin Supercomputing Center in the UK, he can make a request from there to use the computing rights of part of the Tianhe-2 supercomputer. In this case, he can complete the crack in just one or two minutes. And walked away with the result." The man whispered, "There is no doubt, this Cobain, he is the person we need."
"I'm afraid, it won't be that easy." Roy whispered.
"What?" The man frowned, "You doubt that he will succeed? You just said that he is the best candidate."
"He will definitely succeed, but I doubt whether he will really agree to your request." Roy shook his head and said, "Cobain is not an ordinary person. It is difficult for him to really take orders from anyone or any organization. Even the US government has nothing to do with him. There is no way, otherwise, he would not be like this now. I said that he is the best candidate, but I did not say another sentence. He is also the most difficult candidate to recruit. He is too unruly. Tame, I doubt you can control him."
"I don't think so, because we can give him things that the US government can't give him." The man said slowly, "Let's see again. Once he really completes the crack, I will meet him in person."
Roy shrugged, "Then I can only wish you good luck."
