There are several different forms of international hacker organizations. Some claim to be messengers of justice and "Anonymous" who want to break through various government networks. There are also those who specialize in attacking game servers, cracking software, and releasing pirated copies, and the list goes on.
The one that announced its intention to attack Morning Star this time was one of the pirate organizations.
The concept of this organization is very simple, that is, the basic spirit of the Internet is sharing, so all copyrights should be invalid, software should not be charged, code should be open source, and all behaviors of using the Internet for profit should be stopped.
Therefore, this organization is also called "pirates". What they do most is cracking software, from office software to games, and even operating systems. In the era of wild growth of the Internet, it is estimated that most users have used software cracked by these pirate organizations.
Of course, copyright is now much more standardized, and many software companies have also learned to be smart, using online certification or continuous updates to limit cracking.
However, cracking of games and game consoles is still the hardest hit area. After all, a cracked console means you don't have to buy games anymore, and the price of the console is nothing compared to the price of those games and is not worth mentioning.
Later, different game console manufacturers introduced different strategies. Some strengthened encryption measures and restricted hardware cracking, some directly recruited certain cracking groups, turned them into their own employees, and provided them with good food and drink, and some directly paid protection fees, spending millions to shut the big guys' mouths in exchange for a few years of peace.
Naturally, these pirate organizations are also very concerned about the release of [Morning Star] this time.
Especially when they found that the device was not sold overseas and the game was not even in English, these organizations felt that Lu Ban did not respect them.
This kind of game console without multiple languages is a destruction of the sharing spirit of the Internet!
Moreover, this device will definitely go down in history, but now only Lu Ban's company has mastered the technology. If the virtual reality technology used by Morning Star cannot be made public, it will be an obstacle to the progress of world development!
Of course, another reason why these organizations decided to crack the game is that [Morning Star] is so popular, and no one has been able to pass [Summoning Night] until now.
If they can crack the device and unpack the game, then perhaps the name of this organization will become known to everyone. For this kind of hacker group, reputation is very important.
Some members of the organization also have different ideas.
For example, some members of the organization thought that after they cracked the device, they could directly threaten Lu Ban, and if he didn't give them money, they would directly release the cracking patch. Given Lu Ban's financial resources, they thought they could make a lot of money.
For example, some members of the organization believe that they can contact the three major console manufacturers, or other companies that intend to enter the console circle, or even military units, and sell the cracked technology to them in exchange for more money.
For example, some members of the organization believe that the most original idea should be implemented and these cracking patches should be made public, and no profit should be made from them.
Johnson, the leader of the hacker group, has his own plans.
He has received some business contacts from people with strong backgrounds. Despite several layers of cover-up and manipulation, this experienced hacker still vaguely figured out the other party's identity.
It is naturally not an Internet company that wants to enter the gaming industry, nor is it an equipment manufacturer, but a military company of a certain country.
There is no doubt that Lu Ban’s technology is a waste of talent when applied in the gaming field. If it can be applied in the field of military science, it would be truly epoch-making.
However, those military companies are too embarrassed to crack the system directly, or even if they let their engineers crack it, they will definitely cover it up. Johnson's organization is just a cover. Regardless of whether it is Johnson who cracks the system in the end, the reputation of the cracker will fall on his organization.
It's just like any attack always requires someone to claim responsibility.
Johnson is the one in charge.
In fact, besides them, there are many more people in the world who are eyeing them covetously.
It is almost impossible for Lu Ban to have exclusive access to his technology.
When virtual reality technology is cracked, it is entirely possible that other companies will use more mature production lines to mass-produce and produce more diverse game applications at lower prices, leaving Lu Ban penniless.
Moreover, according to the investigation, Lu Ban did not even apply for a patent for his equipment.
This is normal, because applying for a patent means disclosing the technical details of the equipment so that others can illegally copy it. Even if it is not sold for money, it can be very helpful to secretly use it to strengthen the military construction of various advanced countries.
In the absence of a patent, if someone else cracks the system and applies for a patent, then Lu Ban can even be made a huge sum of money.
So, after Morningstar had been on sale for a week and had completely sparked public opinion, Johnson's organization also obtained several virtual reality helmets and prepared to start cracking the hardware.
Under normal circumstances, they only need to disassemble the device, analyze the circuit, and test it continuously. In the end, they will definitely be able to roughly figure out the configuration. As for cracking it, with the background of a military company, it is not something they need to worry about.
Johnson is more concerned about game unpacking. After all, those military companies certainly won't care about a game.
However, when they took apart the helmets, the group was completely dumbfounded.
"What's this?"
Johnson looked at the internal circuit structure and felt that all his previous ten years of learning electronic circuits were in vain.
These wires are arranged in a way that normal humans cannot understand, and it is impossible for this method to make the device work according to common sense.
Looking at those electronic circuits, Johnson shuddered like a devout believer seeing the emblem of some blasphemous demon.
The technicians who tried to crack it had no idea where to start because the circuits were far beyond their understanding.
It’s like you’ve just learned that 1+1=2 and 2+2=4, and now you’re faced with a differential equation.
If this kind of electronic circuit design really existed in the world, then most of the physical laws of electronics would be broken and the foundation of the entire reality would be shaken.
It wasn't just the device's circuitry that horrified Johnson.
Two weeks after Morningstar was released and topped the global electronic device sales charts, Johnson's organization finally succeeded in extracting the resource pack of Conjuring Night.
They worked for a whole week to barely complete this step.
But no one knew that Johnson's organization at this time was like an innocent child, standing next to Pandora's box, showing off its discovery to people around it.
Little did they know that the end of their destiny was about to come.
