Chapter 179 Hackers Don’t Kill People (Ch 179)

After a pause, Su Yang continued:

“Please ask the staff to bring the instruments onto the stage.”

A staff member walked onto the stage, pushing a cart. On the cart was an instrument, which was connected to many wires.

“Does anyone know what this instrument is?” Su Yang asked.

“What kind of instrument is this?”

“have no idea.”

“No.”

“What kind of testing equipment is this in the hospital?”

…

The students and other contestants in the audience were all looking at the instruments on the stage with curiosity, few of whom had seen them before.

“Is this a pacemaker?” a contestant recognized it during the backstage elimination period.

“Pacemaker?” asked a contestant next to him.

“Yes, this is a pacemaker.” The contestant nodded, “My grandfather had such a pacemaker installed, so I know it.”

“Is this a pacemaker?” the emcee asked on the stage, also recognizing the device.

“Yes, this is a pacemaker.” Su Yang said, “I just said that hackers can attack ‘people themselves’ because of this pacemaker. Think about it, if a hacker can control your pacemaker, what kind of scene would that be?”

“Does your life and death depend on this hacker?”

“I’m not exaggerating. There have been similar cases abroad.”

As Su Yang spoke, he began to demonstrate how to break into a pacemaker.

He first introduced this pacemaker, which is a product of a German pharmaceutical company. It is a hot seller in China and is used by many hospitals and companies in the country.

Then, Su Jie began to demonstrate.

He first hacked into the official website database of the German pharmaceutical company, and then created an administrator account inside the database.

With this administrator account, plus a specially crafted device, it is possible to connect to the pacemaker and control it.

On the stage, Zhang Zhe showed everyone a special device. It looked like a USB flash drive with an interface that could be connected to the data interface of a pacemaker.

The next step is the key link.

“Crackle!”

The sound of Su Yang’s fingers tapping on the keyboard came from the big screen.

He first used the administrator account he had just obtained to log into the database of the German pharmaceutical company, and found the ID of the pacemaker in the database. Then, he used a program written by “Tuan Tuan” to send instructions to the pacemaker.

“Beep!” The indicator light of the pacemaker lit up, and its beating frequency also changed.

“Beep, beep…” The pacemaker made a regular sound and started beating.

Su Yang tapped the keyboard a few more times.

“Beep, beep, beep…” The pacemaker’s beating speed increased.

Su Yang tapped the keyboard a few more times.

“Beep…” The sound of the pacemaker stopped immediately.

See, hackers can directly stop the pacemaker from beating.

“Wow!”

“This is too awesome.”

“This… the pacemaker stopped?”

“Fuck, is this still possible?”

“If this stops, people will die. It’s terrible.”

The audience at the scene was dumbfounded.

In the live broadcast room, there was also a commotion:

“Fuck! I have a pacemaker installed, but when I saw this, my heart almost jumped out of my chest!”

“My dad also has a pacemaker installed. If it could be controlled by hackers… I don’t dare to think about it.”

“Boss, your demonstration is so scary!”

…

Some netizens have pacemakers themselves or their family members have them installed, and this gave them a shock.

“Little Boy is Little Boy, and his moves are the ultimate!”

“In comparison, the performances of other contestants are nothing but child’s play.”

…

“Clap, clap, clap!” The host was the first to lead the applause.

“Crash!”

There was warm applause from the audience and all the judges stood up and clapped loudly.

LittleBoy conquered everyone with his strength.

After the applause stopped, the judges gave their scores.

“LittleBoy’s demonstration is very meaningful,” said a judge. “It makes us realize the importance of network security in the medical field.”

“Yes, with the advancement of technology, more and more medical devices will be connected to the Internet, which also brings new security challenges.” Another judge nodded.

“I give LittleBoy a score of 98.”

“I’ll give it 98 points, too.”

…

The big screen shows LittleBoy’s score: 98

Two points away from full marks.

It’s LittleBoy indeed. This score crushes the others.

Next, other contestants also completed their demonstrations one after another.

The last round of competition is over.

“Dear guests and classmates, I will now announce the results of the final of the first ‘Matrix Cup’ hacker competition.” The host said, “Please look at the big screen.”

On the big screen, the final scores and rankings of the ten contestants appeared:

First place: “LittleBoy”, 98 points.

Second place: “Shadow,” 96 points.

Third place: “Matrix”, 93 points.

…

“Congratulations to Mr. LittleBoy for winning the first ‘Matrix Cup’ hacker competition!”

“Pah, pah, pah!”

There was thunderous applause.

“Now, please invite the champion, runner-up, and third place winner to come on stage to receive their awards.”

Accompanied by warm applause,

Zhang Zhe walked onto the stage holding a sign with the word “LittleBoy” on it. Beside him was the masked “Shadow” and the female hacker “Matrix”.

Representatives of the organizing committee also went on stage and presented certificates and bonuses to the three contestants.

The champion LittleBoy’s prize money is 5 million, and the human-shaped card is in the C position.

“Click!” The photographer pressed the shutter and recorded this scene.

“Congratulations LittleBoy.”

“Congratulations Shadow.”

“Congratulations Matrix.”

…

There was warm applause again.

“Awesome!”

“Great God, I worship you!”

“I told you that with LittleBoy, there will be no suspense in this match.”

“Matrix is ​​so beautiful, who has her profile?”

“Shadow is also very strong. I wonder which boss he is.”

…

The live broadcast room was filled with barrages of comments.

“Brothers, thank you for your support. I’m going to go offline.” Su Yang said.

Wave goodbye to end the broadcast.

“Yeah~~”

Su Yang stretched out his hand and clapped his hands with Tuantuan on the screen, “Tuantuan, we won the championship.”

Everyone laughed happily.
