Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

In Angelina’s live streaming room, watching hackers were in an uproar.

[It’s unbelievable! I swear to God, this is the most outrageous cyberattack and defense battle I’ve ever seen!]

[This battle is a terrifying earthquake for the entire hacker community!]

[Facing AW, using those crucial ten minutes to reverse the situation and strike back from the brink!]

[AW lost too thoroughly!]

[This is a god!]

[Goddess Lena, is he your idol?]

[…]

Screens full of amazement.

Several mainstream media in the live streaming room quickly sensed that this battle would rock the entire hacker world and immediately started drafting news releases.

Meanwhile, Angelina had already left the live streaming room.

She, now mask-free, comfortably nestled on the sofa in her studio, a smile curling up on her delicate face.

After taking a small sip of whiskey, Angelina picked up her phone and sent a message to Lin Chuan:

“Idol, you were really too cool!”

“You truly deserve to be my God of Hackers!”

…

Half an hour earlier.

Anling City, police station, Cyber Security Detachment.

In a studio filled with computers, all the cyber police were extremely focused and tense, their fingers rapidly typing out code on the keyboards, forming protective lines.

But the onslaught from AW was too fierce.

Merely with the dozens of the Anling Cyber Security Detachment, it was hard to hold up.

“Director, Captain Yu, currently 15 internet cafes in our city are paralyzed, core data from 2 tech companies has been stolen, and our governmental information systems are under fierce attack. We’re urgently transferring the core data!”

Xia Qingqing reported the emergency to Zhang Biao and Yu Shan.

Beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.

The governmental information systems included the electronic governance network platform, business information systems, data resources libraries, information security, and application support infrastructures, and so on.

They contained critical information about Anling City.

If they were successfully breached by the AW hacker, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Strengthen the defenses immediately!”

Director Zhang Biao’s brow was furrowed tightly.

In the morning, as soon as he received the news, he rushed to the Cyber Security Detachment to supervise the effort. Now, hearing about the intrusion into the governmental information system, his expression darkened even more.

Xia Qingqing said solemnly, “Currently, the firewall from Jintang Network Security Company can hold for at most another half hour!”

Director Zhang Biao immediately asked, “Where are the people from Jintang Network Security Company?”

“They’re setting up new defenses,”

replied Xia Qingqing.

“Continue to request reinforcements,” Director Zhang instructed, looking at Yu Shan.

Understanding the situation, Yu Shan once again dialed the contact number for the Provincial Cyber Security and Informatization Leadership Group.

“Anling Cyber Security is requesting support!”

“We can only hold on for another half hour at most. After half an hour, Anling’s network will be paralyzed!”

“One hour? We’ll do our best!”

Captain Yu of the Cyber Security Detachment hung up the desk phone, his face grave.

Director Zhang took a deep breath, “Try everything to hold on for one more hour.”

At that moment.

The cybersecurity defenses of Anling were nearly collapsing.

But Han River Province couldn’t send technical support in such a short time. The cutting-edge technology of our province and the neighboring province was tied up in the Han River Cyber Security Bureau fighting a technical defense against AW, but with little success.

The enemy was visible but we were hidden; this was a major reason for the passivity in cyber defense.

Another important reason was that AW’s intrusion technology was far more advanced than Han River’s.

“Is there any other way we can counterattack?”

In front of the computer, Fang Cheng from Jintang Network Security Company was sweating profusely.

Because the firewall that Jintang had optimized and upgraded overnight had not been able to completely block the barrage of viruses and Trojans from AW.

He had thought that after optimizing the firewall, it would be as solid as a golden soup.

But upon actual combat testing…

Fang Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, “If only I had seen that book earlier, maybe I would have a solution!”

That book referred to “Hacker Kingdom.”

He lamented the lack of time to fully master “Hacker Kingdom.”

“No, there’s still a chance!”

“I must try it!”

Suddenly, a scene from Chapter 156 of “Hacker Kingdom” flashed through Fang Cheng’s mind: Mr. Lin’s studio was being attacked by foreign hackers, but with a godlike move, he spoofed the IP, silently completed the swap, and hid his own IP, deceiving everyone.

Right then!

Fang Cheng took out his phone, opened “Hacker Kingdom,” and flipped to Chapter 156.

If others knew, they would surely curse, “Fang Cheng, you’re freaking ridiculous,” but right now, Fang Cheng only knew that this Ultimate Hacker’s Manual might indeed help him!

If he could spoof an IP and replace Anling’s government information system, then he could buy more time for Anling.

Exactly!

Let’s do this!

Fang Cheng’s eyes raced across Chapter 156 of “Hacker Kingdom”:

“I figure, my server must be getting tens of thousands of attacks per minute right now, which isn’t a big number, it just puts me in a bit of a passive position.”

“Simply shutting down the server won’t avoid such attacks; it would actually make it easier for them to take control of my server.”

“I scratched my head, a smile breaking on my face.”

“Decided, let the battle begin!”

“I stepped over the cluttered cables, sat in front of the computer, my hands on the keyboard, thinking that the current situation was too passive. If I wanted to counterattack, then I needed to stop their attacks.”

“It’s difficult to extricate oneself from an identified and targeted server IP.”

“But as the art of war says: Deceiving the heavens to cross the sea.”

“…”

Fang Cheng himself was a hacker who started out in coding and a pioneer in the creation of hacker novels.

A book called “Crazy Keyboard” achieved ten thousand orders a decade ago, leading the way.

But he never thought that now, he would be holding another author’s hacker novel like a treasure and a standard to live by.

However.

“Hacker Kingdom” intentionally omitted key steps, forcing Fang Cheng to rely on his own derivation, thinking, and refinement of this step.

Time was ticking away, like the gentle flow of spring water along a riverbank, quiet and unassuming.

“I’ve got it!”

Fang Cheng wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, clenched his fist tightly, his face lit up with excitement, and immediately ran to Yu Shan’s office.

Yes, he had learned that move “deceiving the heavens to cross the sea.”

Inside the office.

Yu Shan was there, and so was Zhang Biao.

Fang Cheng said eagerly, “Director Zhang, Captain Yu, I’ve found a solution!”

“What solution!?”

Both Zhang Biao and Yu Shan’s eyes lit up as they asked in unison.

Before Fang Cheng could even speak.

Xia Qingqing also rushed into the office with a face full of excitement: “Director Zhang, Captain Yu, good news!”

The two leaders were first taken aback, then quickly asked, “What good news?”

“The cybersecurity issue has been solved!”

Xia Qingqing spoke very quickly, and only after she finished did she take a long breath.

Inside the office, Zhang Biao, Yu Shan, and Fang Cheng, all three were stunned, “Solved?”
