Chapter 67: Being a Hacker with a Satellite (Three) (Ch 67)

“I know of a loophole in Apple phones that can bypass Apple ID and access the phone’s iCloud. Friends who use Apple phones should all know what iCloud is, right? iCloud can access users’ photos, emails, memos, documents, etc. Even if the phone is turned off, it can still be accessed because iCloud data is stored on cloud servers.”

As Su Yang spoke, he opened the “Mobile Probe V3.0”, entered Gao Ming’s mobile phone number, set the parameters, and then clicked “Connect”.

It takes some time to connect to iCloud. Su Yang took this opportunity to share some security knowledge about Apple phones with netizens in the live broadcast room:

“Here, let me popularize this to everyone. Many friends think that Apple phones are very safe. In fact, Apple phones are very unsafe. I know that Apple phones have several relatively large loopholes that can directly access your phone’s private information. Moreover, these loopholes are not secrets. Experts in the hacker circle know them.”

As soon as Su Yang finished speaking, “Mobile Probe V3.0” was connected successfully.

Su Yang opened the iCloud data in Gao Ming’s mobile phone cloud.

Um?

There is not much data in iCloud, not even a single photo.

Generally, Apple users’ mobile phones’ iCloud will contain the user’s data, unless it is deliberately cleared.

Gao Ming is not an ordinary person. He knows how to clear iCloud data and obviously knows a little bit about technology.

Su Yang pondered in his heart.

“Xiao Gao, what did your brother do before? His Apple phone’s iCloud has been cleared and there is not much data.” Su Yang asked Xiao Gao.

Xiao Gao’s answer also confirmed his guess: “My brother used to repair mobile phones and opened a mobile phone store.”

“I think it’s impossible that most people don’t have anything in their iCloud.”

The method of reading iCloud data doesn’t work, so Su Yang can only find another way.

Next, Su Yang tried several other methods, but all failed.

“Fuck! Brothers, am I going to fail?” Su Yang laughed at himself.

“I’ve tried several common methods used by hackers, but none of them worked. The ‘cell phone probe’ software doesn’t work either. What should I do?” Su Yang said with a smile.

Please note that he is talking about the methods commonly used by “general hackers”.

“Boss, please don’t keep us in suspense.” Mr. Li heard the self-mockery in Su Yang’s tone and said with a smile.

“Haha, it’s not that easy to make me fail. If conventional methods don’t work, you’ll have no choice but to force me to use my best skills!” Su Yang joked.

When all conventional means failed, Su Yang only had one last resort, which was to use the GPS module of his mobile phone.

Every mobile phone has a GPS chip module. If it is a domestically produced mobile phone, it also has an additional Beidou chip module.

In order to obtain the information sent by the GPS chip in Gao Ming’s mobile phone, it is necessary to hack into the satellite that provides GPS services.

The Galaxy Satellite super administrator account that Su Yang exchanged happened to belong to Galaxy Satellite Company, one of the world’s major GPS service providers.

Dubai’s GPS service is also provided by the company’s satellites.

Su Yang tapped the keyboard quickly with his ten fingers and logged into the Galaxy Satellite super administrator account.

A complex satellite control interface appeared on the laptop screen, showing more than 180 satellites covering every corner of the globe.

He found the remote sensing satellite numbered X3125 that provides GPS positioning services for Dubai.

Next, it’s easy.

First write an execution script.

“Crackle…”

The sound of keyboard tapping echoed in the room.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes passed.

At this time, there were already 200,000 netizens online in the live broadcast room, waiting patiently.

…

“OK, done!” Su Yang said excitedly.

The netizens in the live broadcast room also became excited, because they knew that the live broadcast was going to show off its big moves again.

The next second, a satellite map of Dubai city appeared in the live broadcast room.

In the western suburbs of the city, a red light kept flashing.

“Do you see the red dot on the map? This is the GPS location point of Gao Ming’s mobile phone.” Su Yang said.

Gao Bin and Mr. Li both stared at the red dot on the map with their eyes wide open, surprise and curiosity written all over their faces.

Su Yang stretched out his hand and clicked the red dot.

The map zoomed in quickly, and the location of the red dot became clearer and clearer.

“Hadid Building.” Su Yang read out the name of the building.

He clicked his mouse again, switching the map to a three-dimensional satellite view.

A skyscraper over 100 meters high appeared in the live broadcast room.

“Xiao Gao, your brother is in this building.” Su Yang said.

“Really?” Gao Bin widened his eyes.

I can’t believe it, the anchor found it right away.

“That’s right, the GPS positioning signal of your brother’s mobile phone is in this building.” Su Yang said affirmatively.

“Holy crap! Isn’t this too awesome?” In an Internet cafe, a boy in basketball uniform couldn’t help but exclaimed when he saw this scene.

Next to him, a boy in jeans was playing games. When he heard his exclamation, he turned around and looked at his computer screen.

After just a quick look, the boy in jeans returned his attention to the game.

“I can be sure that Gao Ming is in this building, but I don’t know which specific floor he is on. The accuracy of GPS positioning is not that high,” said Su Yang.

The civilian-level GPS positioning accuracy generally has an error of several meters to tens of meters.

Unless a military-grade GPS positioning system is used, accuracy below the meter level can be achieved.

Galaxy Satellite Company naturally provides military-grade precision, but improving the precision would easily expose its super administrator account.

Therefore, do not use it unless necessary.

“Brothers, it’s time to test you. Now, we already know that Gao Ming is in this building, so how can we find out which specific floor he is on? Does anyone have any good ideas?” Su Yang asked with a smile to the camera.

“There must be surveillance cameras in the building,” Mr. Li suggested.

“Yes, surveillance cameras are a good idea. Gao Ming will definitely be caught by the cameras when he enters and leaves the building.” Su Yang nodded and said, “Let’s first check which property management company owns this building.”

Su Yang started the crawler software and began searching.

After a dozen seconds, he found the building’s property company, Emaar Properties.

Su Yang quickly found relevant information about the “Hadid Building” on the official website of Emaar Properties.

This building has 42 floors in total.

The website also has floor maps for each floor, as well as detailed information on the distribution of companies on each floor.

Su Yang needs to find the computer room of the “Hadid Building” and then hack into their surveillance system.

After some searching, the target was found.

“Invasion successful!”

Su Yang has entered the computer room of the “Hadid Building”.
