29: Jarvis takes action to clean up the Internet, and the enemy turns out to be from overseas
“Third Brother.”
“What are you still standing there for?”
“Quickly organize defenses! Where’s the technical team you hired? Get moving, we can’t just sit here and wait to die.”
“If the server is breached, all our previous efforts will be for naught…” Zhao Dawei roared.
“Second Brother.”
“It’s gone.”
“Although our firewall is very advanced, and our security technical personnel are not weak, our server is not as good as theirs.”
“They are using a saturation attack.”
Saturation attack, also known as capacity exhaustion attack, is the most common type of DDoS attack.
It uses massive amounts of fake traffic (sometimes exceeding 100 Gbps) to overwhelm your network bandwidth. Hackers use a large number of computers and internet connections distributed around the world to send a massive amount of traffic data packets to the target server and website.
It completely saturates the website’s available bandwidth, causing traffic congestion, making it impossible for legitimate traffic to flow into or out of the target website.
This will temporarily disable our server’s firewall, and the enemy can then take advantage of the vulnerability.
To put it simply.
It means our server is not as good as the opponent’s… Upon hearing this, Zhao Dawei instantly slumped into his seat.
Wu Bai was right; his server simply couldn't withstand the massive DDoS saturation attack.
This was a problem with server hardware and network bandwidth.
It was basically unsolvable.
Even if they replaced the server now, it would be too late.
It’s all my fault… Why didn’t I upgrade the server in advance?
“Perhaps we need to temporarily shut down the Suihuo Technology server.”
“Only a physical network disconnection can evade this attack.”
“However, completely disconnecting the server will severely impact the company’s credibility and the Kunlun System.”
“Sigh… There’s no other way!”
“We can only perform a physical network disconnection.” Zhao Dawei muttered, and at that moment, he had already made the decision to physically disconnect the network.
“Fourth Brother. How much longer do you estimate we can hold on?”
“About five minutes.”
“Okay. You must hold on for five minutes. I’m calling Fourth Brother now to request a physical network disconnection. You go to the server room first and be ready to physically disconnect the network at any time.”
“Okay.”
Wu Bai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then picked up his computer and quickly ran to the server room… After seeing Wu Bai leave, Zhao Dawei nervously picked up his phone, found Lu Xingye’s number, and dialed it.
“Hello.”
The call connected.
Listening to Lu Xingye’s faint voice, Zhao Dawei felt a moment of guilt, unsure how to face him. He trusted him to manage Suihuo Technology, but now this had happened… “Hello, Dawei.”
“Why aren’t you speaking?”
“Are you trying to say that the server is under hacker attack?”
Perhaps seeing that Zhao Dawei wasn’t speaking, Lu Xingye broke the silence.
Jarvis was constantly monitoring Suihuo Technology, so he was fully aware of everything happening within Suihuo Technology.
The reason he didn’t act just now was that he wanted to use the opportunity of the intrusion to counterattack and raid the opponent’s base camp.
It was almost time.
Jarvis had already traced the real address of the mastermind behind the scenes based on the intruder’s IP.
This mastermind’s methods were quite sophisticated, using several zombie computers as virtual jump points. If he didn’t have artificial intelligence, this super bug, he might not have been able to find the opponent’s real address at all.
However.
What shocked him was—
The real address of this mastermind was actually overseas.
After investigation.
Moreover, this hacker organization had intricate connections with Fruit Mobile (Apple iPhone).
Fruit Mobile (Apple iPhone)???
Is it you?
I hope you don’t play with fire and get burned.
“Yes!”
“Third Brother said our server can only last for five more minutes, and I’m preparing for a physical network disconnection… Otherwise, if our server is breached, it will be a huge problem.”
“That’s not right!”
“Fourth Brother, how did you know about the company being attacked by hackers?”
At this moment.
Zhao Dawei belatedly realized that since Fourth Brother hadn’t come to the company, how would he know what was happening at the company?
Did Third Brother say it?
Or did Dorm Leader Deng Jun say it?
Logically, they shouldn’t have said anything!
… “Sigh…”
Lu Xingye was silent for a moment; he didn’t know how to explain, so he could only awkwardly gloss over it. A groundbreaking artificial intelligence like Jarvis still couldn’t be revealed to the public.
“Don’t worry about that. The most important thing now is the server attack…”
“Yes, yes, yes… Fourth Brother, do you have a solution?”
Zhao Dawei was easily distracted, and a glimmer of hope instantly flashed in his eyes.
Fourth Brother had always been very mysterious; he couldn’t quite figure him out, and he hoped for a miracle.
“That’s simple.”
“We just need to upgrade the server firewall.”
Lu Xingye said with a smile, and then ordered Jarvis to upgrade the server.
Jarvis mastered the compilation language of the Iron Man world, which was very different from the compilation language commonly used on Blue Star.
Due to the difference in compilation languages, the upgraded server would become an impregnable fortress.
People unfamiliar with the Iron Man compilation language would be unable to breach its firewall.
Coupled with the fact that the firewall compiled by Jarvis possessed a certain intelligent algorithm.
It could automatically identify DDoS saturation attacks and automatically block them.
In other words.
DDoS saturation attacks were completely ineffective against the upgraded server… Simple?
Just upgrade the server firewall?
Zhao Dawei was stunned upon hearing this.
He didn’t know why the DDoS saturation attack, which was considered unsolvable in the hacker world, became simple for Fourth Brother… Just upgrade the firewall.
This was simply unbelievable.
“It’s done.”
“You go back and check.”
“The server attack has been resolved now.”
Just as Zhao Dawei was dazed, Lu Xingye’s faint voice came again.
“Resolved?”
“It’s resolved. Let’s leave it at that for now! I’m going to meet the mastermind behind the scenes.” After Lu Xingye finished speaking, he directly hung up the phone.
At the same time.
Lu Xingye had Jarvis disguise himself as a data stream, crossing the coastline to a hacker organization’s hideout in a certain Western country. Jarvis had already obtained the opponent’s real information and collected their criminal evidence through big data.
“Fuck!”
“What’s going on?”
“We almost breached Suihuo Technology’s server, why did it suddenly upgrade?”
“Fuck!”
“What’s happening? After Suihuo Technology’s firewall upgraded, why are our saturation attacks ineffective?”
“What’s the situation???”
Lu Xingye controlled the opponent’s computer and heard their cursing through the microphone on the other side. The curses were all in standard English, but Lu Xingye’s English was good, so he could understand.
Hehe!
[Red Forged Hacker Organization]
You’re in big trouble.
Lu Xingye silently thought to himself, then displayed a line of text on their computer screen, which contained the real information of all members of the [Red Forged Hacker Organization].
Name 1: Red Forged King
Real Information: xxxx
Real Address: xxxxxx
...Name 2...Name 3...
