Chapter 18: Jackdaw (1/2)
Xia Ye went to the forum and glanced at it briefly, and unlike what he thought, this is not a forum that promotes destruction, but a place for sharing.
The forums are all anti-virus technology enthusiasts, and the posts are very lively. Although the number of people is small, the atmosphere is very enthusiastic.
Xia Ye activated Little Spider, followed the clues to find it, and quickly locked an account on the forum.
The account name is Jackdaw, which is quite literary. They were currently replying to a post online. The frequency of the reply is the same as that of the male student opposite Xia Ye typing on the keyboard. The fluctuations in the detection of ”Little Spider” also show that this person is who Xia Ye is looking for.
The reason why Xia Ye is so sure is because this person used a virus software that was used when he attacked the computers of Longteng Internet cafes, and the number of times the account name is Jackdaw has also mentioned how he made this destructive virus.
Xia Ye flipped through the jackdaw's other posts. A popular post that he made last year caught his attention, about disk repair.
In the past two years, the CIH virus has exploded. This is a vicious virus that can damage computer system hardware. It was originally in T Province and later spread with pirated CDs, which had a great impact. Other businesses have claimed that the C drive damaged by CIH could not be recovered, and many people suffered heavy losses.
However, this post took a different approach and put forward a different kind of idea, due to the limitations of the Windows mechanism, damage to the C drive cannot be completed in most cases. The post said in great detail how to target the CIH virus. At the same time, this virus was also simulated and used as an example for the fellows to practice.
This was very similar to the virus found in Longteng Internet cafes.
Xia Ye tapped his finger twice on the mouse. Judging from these alone, this jackdaw really did not look like an aggressive person.
He raised his head, casually glanced at the person on the opposite side.
The person sitting there was still typing on the keyboard. He didn't know whether he was replying to a post or was inspired into writing a new program. His eyes were focused on the screen, and he didn't care about his surrounding area, he was sitting directly opposite from him, Xia Ye discovered that there was a scar on the bridge of his nose and that his glasses seemed to be a little broken, wrapped with transparent tape
He didn’t believe that he was that poor, especially since he had an expensive watch on his wrist, which was popular nowadays.
But unlike the weak and bookish spirit that he first felt, the injury that this person had seemed to originate from a fight with someone, which didn’t really go with him.
It was hard for Xia Ye to think of such a boy with the appearance of a poor student waving a stick.
It's weird.
Xia Ye's gaze fell back to the screen again, and began to read the posts he had posted, but many opinions seemed to agreed with this person.
Especially the virus he created is equivalent to a weakened version of CIH. If it is, it can indeed achieve the aggressiveness of the Longteng Internet cafe before, but it is not enough to completely destroy the hardware in a short time. No wonder he felt a little strange when he saw it that day. Boss Wu, a person who opened an Internet cafe, wouldn’t have offended anyone badly enough to destroy his small Internet cafe. The person who can make the virus software gave Boss Wu a hard time and allowed him to find foreign aid, it really doesn't seem like they wanted to really ruin Boss Wu cafe.
It turned out to be a ‘Sample product’
Xia Ye quietly closed the forum and cleared all his traces.
The environment in the Internet cafe is not very good. A man in his thirties is smoking a cigarette right next to him.
Just as Xia Ye frowned, the male student sitting opposite stood up immediately and said dissatisfiedly: ”Boss, why are there people smoking in here!”
The smoking man unwillingly said: ”I am willing to buy it with my own money, and smoke as much as I want. If you think it smells too much, don't come to the Internet cafe, buy a computer at your own home!”
He was after all a young man with a thin face. The teenage boy blushed after he heard this: ”If the computer at home was not broken, I would not come here.”
The boss dare not say anything at the counter. He sells cigarettes by himself, and he makes a lot of money selling cigarettes in Internet cafes every day!
The male student obviously couldn't bear the smell of smoke, so he stood up and backed off the computer and left.
Xia Ye waited for him to go out and went to the counter.
He was wearing a mask to avoid part of the smell of smoke, and put four yuan there.
The boss immediately pushed back, ”Don't, why are you giving me the money, just take it back! if you have time, you can fix the two computers for me tomorrow!”
