Chapter 87 Advanced Hacker Uses the Most Simple Attack (Continued) (Ch 87)

“Hahaha!”

Someone laughed.

It was Qi Wei, who started laughing.

Guo Qilin on the side also laughed.

“Hahaha!”

The audience reacted and started laughing.

“What the hell, after all this time, the only thing he did was to unplug the network cable.”

“Who would have thought of this?”

“The most powerful hacker uses the simplest attack method. [Laughing and crying]”

“Is this the legendary ‘physical hacker’?”

“The boss’s actions are really unexpected.”

…

The live broadcast room was also completely boiling with comments pouring in like a tide. Netizens were all amused by Su Yang’s actions.

“Everyone must be confused, right? I guess you must be wondering what’s going on with this Brother Zhang and why he would cooperate with me, right?” Su Yang said.

“Yes, we really want to know the identity of this Brother Zhang. Is he a library staff member?” Saning asked quickly.

“Brother Zhang, please explain it to everyone.” Su Yang said with a smile.

“Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Zhe, and I’m the script supervisor for the show “I’m a Geek”. However, my current identity is the computer room administrator at the library of Peking University and Tsinghua University.” Zhang Zhe introduced himself.

“Brother Zhang, tell us how you became the computer room administrator of the Tsinghua and Peking University libraries.”

“This matter is very simple. Three days ago, I went to the library of Peking University and Tsinghua University and applied for the position of computer room administrator.” Zhang Zhe replied.

“That’s not right. Can you apply for the position of computer room administrator in Peking University and Tsinghua University library just because you want to?” Su Yang asked back.

He expressed the questions on everyone’s mind.

Not everyone can become the computer room administrator of Peking University or Tsinghua University Library.

“Of course it’s not easy to apply for the job. I was recommended by a dean of Peking University and Tsinghua University,” Zhang Zhe explained.

“Recommendation from the dean? Is the dean your relative?” Su Yang asked.

“No, I don’t know the presidents of Peking University and Tsinghua University.” Zhang Zhe shook his head.

“Then how did you get the dean’s recommendation?” Su Yang continued to ask.

“I don’t know either!” Zhang Zhe looked innocent.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Su Yang.

Everyone knows that this matter must be related to Su Yang.

“Okay, let me explain it to you. Please watch a VCR.” Su Yang said.

The big screen plays VCR.

The picture is in the office of the director of the library of Peking University and Tsinghua University. The director is a woman in her forties. She is working at her desk, processing documents.

“Ding-ling-ling…”

The cell phone on the table rang.

The woman picked up the phone. It was a video call from “President Zhang.”

She clicked answer.

“Hello, President Zhang.” The curator said respectfully.

In the video, there appears a white-haired old man in his seventies. He is Dean Zhang.

“Xiao Liu, I would like to recommend a young man to intern in the computer room of your library. Do you think it’s okay?” said Dean Zhang.

“Sure, no problem. There’s no problem with the person you recommend.” Director Liu said with a smile.

The scene changed and Zhang Zhe pushed open the door of Director Liu’s office and walked in.

“Hello, Director Liu. My name is Zhang Zhe.”

“Oh, you must be the young man recommended by Dean Zhang. Please take a seat…”

The VCR playback ends.

“This video is fake! I have never made a video call to Director Liu, and I don’t know this young man!” Suddenly, a white-haired old man in the audience stood up and said loudly.

This old man looks familiar.

“Are you Dean Zhang?” Saning recognized the old man’s identity, walked quickly off the stage and came in front of the old man.

“My name is Zhang Zelin, and I’m the dean of the School of Humanities at Peking University and Tsinghua University,” the old man introduced himself.

“You just said that the person in the video is not you?” Saning asked doubtfully.

“It’s not me. I have never made a video call to Director Liu, and I don’t know this young man.” Zhang Zelin denied it again.

“What is going on?” Saning looked towards the big screen for help.

Before Su Yang could speak, an expert on the jury revealed the answer, “The Dean Zhang in the video is fake. He should be a virtual character synthesized by AI software.”

“That’s right. The person in the video just now is not Dean Zhang himself. I used AI software to synthesize his voice and profile picture.” Su Yang explained, “Nowadays, there is a lot of information on the Internet. It is not difficult to find a person’s video and voice. Then, using AI technology, you can synthesize a video that is indistinguishable from the real thing. If you are not very familiar with the person, it is easy to be deceived.”

It turned out that Su Yang first used AI software to synthesize a virtual character of Dean Zhang, and then called Director Liu with this virtual character. With Dean Zhang’s recommendation, an internship position in the computer room was just a matter of words.

Director Liu did not doubt the authenticity of the video. After all, an intern’s position was not an important one, and she did not think too much about it.

The mystery is finally solved.

“Pa pa pa…” There was warm applause at the scene.

Several celebrity guests and members of the two participating teams applauded.

So cool.

Who could have thought that it could be played like this?

LittleBoy actually started playing Infernal Affairs.

After the applause died down, Yuan Jie commented: “It was very exciting.

This case tells us that hackers must not only be proficient in technology, but also understand social engineering. The legendary hacker Kevin Mitnick is a master of social engineering. He has used social engineering many times to successfully invade the network systems of many large companies and government agencies.

As Yuan Jie spoke, he looked at LittleBoy on the screen. He became more and more curious about LittleBoy’s identity.

Unfortunately, he went through all the friends he knew in his mind, but couldn’t find anyone who met the characteristics of LittleBoy.

“Mr. Yuan is right. Social engineering is also an important skill for hackers.” Su Yang said with a smile, “In fact, in many cases, talent is the biggest loophole.”

“I realized this when I first started learning hacking techniques. I remember that one summer vacation when I went back to my hometown, we didn’t have an internet connection, so I wanted to use my neighbor’s WiFi. In order to crack the neighbor’s WiFi password, I first created a password dictionary, and then tried to use brute force software to crack it… However, while I was working hard in front of the computer, my mother had already used social engineering to easily get the WiFi password from the neighbor.

Ginger is still spicy when it is old. “

“Ha ha!”

The audience burst into laughter.

After the laughter, the host Saning announced the result of the challenge:

“Congratulations ‘LittleBoy’ for winning this challenge!”

“Pah, pah, pah!”

There was thunderous applause.

“Awesome!”

“Boss, why are you so showy!”

“It’s so interesting!”

“Little Boy, you are my idol.”

…

The barrage of comments filled the screen again, and the atmosphere in the live broadcast room reached its climax.
