Zhu Jianrui was like a mad bull, his eyes were bloodshot and he was gasping for breath.
The chubby boy, oblivious to his frustration, nudged his shoulder and excitedly urged, "Hurry up and attack him! Didn't you say your skills are the best in the country? Oh my god, I'm so lucky to be witnessing a clash between two top hackers!"
Zhu Jianrui took a deep breath and continued to input commands frantically.
Three or four minutes later, he raised his head, his eyes were redder than before, and his originally handsome face was distorted beyond recognition due to resentment and unwillingness.
"I can't break through his firewall!" He gritted his teeth and said, "This is the HBG firewall. It's much more secure than the ones I just broke through. Even if we crack the firewall's password, only computers within the Hard HBG system can log in. In other words, we have to go to MIK, find a computer in their company, crack the password, and then enter the firewall. However, if we really do that, the hackers there will immediately track down our IP address and catch us."
The chubby boy exclaimed, "Is it that powerful? Is this hacker trying to force you into a trap?"
Zhu Jianrui shook his head and said, "No, no one would be that stupid. He's not forcing us into a trap, he's just defending himself." He closed his eyes and reluctantly admitted, "The defense system he designed is very powerful. I can't break it."
The chubby boy looked at the computer screen, then at Zhu Jianrui's dark face, his tone full of disbelief: "MIK is just a small company, where did they find such a powerful hacker?"
Hearing the two teenagers' conversation, the department head looked at Zhuang Li with a mixture of surprise and a hint of suspicion. He certainly didn't believe Zhu Jianrui's claims of being the best in the country, so he didn't appreciate Zhuang Li's impressiveness.
Moreover, the more the two men praised Zhuang Li, the more he suspected that this attack and defense was a joint performance by the father and son, the purpose of which was to attract the company's attention to Zhuang Li.
But the intern and the mean man had completely different ideas from the supervisor.
They were well-versed in this area and naturally knew that the young boy's hacking skills were, if not the best in the country, then at least world-class. In the hacking field, the younger the child, the more important it was to be ignored. Their talent must be formidable to have distinguished themselves in this dangerous field at such a young age.
However, Zhuang Li's skills were even more impressive as he was able to hang up and beat this young genius.
The intern and the mean man often roamed around in the company's security system, so they naturally knew the company didn't have a 5G firewall. However, after Manager Zhuang took over the backend management, this extremely secure firewall appeared. Who built it? The answer is self-evident.
Seeing the supervisor's pursed lip, as if expressing disdain for Zhuang Li's skills, the sarcastic man whispered, "The HBG firewall is the most secure firewall. It's installed in the White House, the Pentagon, defense systems, and the personal computers of prominent politicians. To bypass this firewall, both the user and their computer must be authenticated by the firewall. Furthermore, the login address must not be changed. If it is changed, authentication must be repeated, making the process very complicated."
The supervisor was stunned: "Is it so powerful? Even the White House is using it?"
"Yes," the sarcastic man whispered. "What's even more impressive is that Zhuang built such a massive and complex security system in just over ten minutes, while the US would have needed a team of experts to complete it for weeks. I guarantee you, Zhuang's skills are world-class. He's qualified to be a security advisor to the White House."
The mean man gave a thumbs up, and the harshness on his face had been replaced by fanatical admiration.
The department manager, finally realizing how capable Zhuang Li was, was so surprised that his mouth almost dropped open. The mean man was the last disciple of a certain IT giant, a high-tech talent the manager had hired with an annual salary of 600,000 yuan.
At the time, the master said, "If you take my apprentice back, everyone in your department will be left with nothing. His skills alone are equivalent to those of ten people."
After joining the company, the mean man did demonstrate his abilities, so the department manager was very convinced of his judgment.
"Compared to your teacher, which technique is better, Zhuang Li's or your teacher's?" the supervisor asked curiously.
The mean man shook his head without a second thought. "My teacher is still a bit behind Brother Zhuang. My teacher is currently researching multiple firewall technology, and several of the key theories have already been put to practical use by Brother Zhuang. No, I have to film Brother Zhuang's operations and send them to my teacher."
The mean man took out his cell phone, walked around Zhuang Li and took a picture, then pointed it at his computer screen.
The department manager slapped his forehead, finally realizing his folly. With Zhuang Li around, why would he spend 600,000 yuan a year on a young man? Zhuang Li offered far better value for money! Why had he just stamped Zhuang Li's resignation so readily?
In frustration, the handsome young man in the window suddenly slammed the table and shouted, "I've got a solution!"
"What method?" the chubby boy asked immediately.
The mean man and the intern said in unison, "What could he possibly think of? This is the HBG firewall. How can he break through it from the outside?"
Zhuang Li chuckled and said, "At least you have some sense. Boss," he lazily instructed, "Please act naturally when you answer the phone later."
The mean man and the intern said in unison again, "Brother Zhuang, do you know what he wants to do?"
The supervisor leaned down, a smug look on his face, and was about to ask for detailed inquiries when he heard the handsome young man in the window say, "Technically, I can't break through his firewall yet, but I can start with the people. So, use the voice changer I designed to call the head of MIK's network security department and ask him to open the firewall from the inside. That way, I can get straight in."
"Zhu Jianrui, you have a really good brain!" The chubby boy immediately became excited.
The two checked the whereabouts of MIK's senior executives and found that a boss of the public relations department was currently on a business trip, so they stole his identity.
Soon, the department manager received a call. He took out his cell phone and saw the boss's name popping up on the screen. It was the boss's voice when he answered the phone. The other party called "Lao Zhang" in an arrogant tone.
At the same time, the fat boy in the window was calling Lao Zhang in the same tone.
The department head looked at his phone screen, then at his computer window, and then froze in silence. After a long pause, he tentatively called out, "Mr. Wang?"
The chubby teenager in the window ordered, "Lao Zhang, I'm on a business trip. My laptop was stolen, and I forgot my password to the management backend. Turn on the firewall for me. I need to log into the company network using the hotel computer. Hurry up, I have something important to tell you!"
At the same time, Mr. Wang's characteristically gruff voice rang out from the department manager's phone: "Lao Zhang, I'm on a business trip. My laptop was stolen, and I forgot my password to the admin panel. Please turn on the firewall for me. I need to log into the company network using the hotel computer. Hurry, I have something important to tell you!"
Not a single word is missed, not a single word is wrong!
If the department head had not seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed that this flawless phone call was a shocking scam!
He stared at his phone in disbelief, his head almost splitting apart.
Zhuang Li held his chin in his hand and said nonchalantly, "It seems Zhu Jianrui has put a lot of thought into dealing with me. He's recorded the phone numbers and voices of all the senior executives at MIK. With a simple program, he can call any executive using their voice."
“But the caller ID…” The department head covered the microphone and murmured in disbelief.
Before Zhuang Li could even open his mouth, the mean man sneered, "Changing caller ID is the simplest hacking technique. Only clueless people like you would fall for it!"
As he spoke, the fat boy in the window was already impatient and urged, "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, what are you doing? Why don't you open the firewall quickly?"
At the same time, Mr. Wang's gruff voice came from the department manager's phone: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, what are you doing? Why don't you turn on the firewall?"
Department Head: “…”
Other colleagues: “…”
For some reason, they suddenly found the two boys' every move somewhat funny. They really wanted to pity them for a second.
The tense atmosphere was unknowingly replaced by a strong sense of humor. As everyone covered their mouths to stifle laughter, Zhuang Li tapped the keyboard and turned on his built-in camera.
Another window floated in the upper right corner of the computer screen, with Zhuang Li's figure clearly visible in it.
"Hello." He leaned back in his chair, his hands folded on his knees, a faint smile on his handsome face. Behind him stood a crowd of onlookers. It didn't look like he was playing a game with top hackers, but more like he was watching a show.
"Zhuang Li?" Zhu Jianrui was stunned.
The chubby boy shouted in astonishment: "He turned on our camera! When did it happen? Why is the indicator light not on? There is no feedback from the program!" He stretched out his fat hand and kept touching the lens, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.
The onlookers standing behind Zhuang Li complained in their hearts: The camera was already on! If Zhuang hadn't said hello, you would never have noticed it.
As if this wasn't exciting enough, Zhuang Li hooked his index finger towards his left side and said lazily, "Let me introduce you. This is Lao Zhang, the man you're trying to contact."
The department head leaned over to look at the camera, put the phone to his ear and said, "Hello, kids."
At the same time, the voice of the department director came from the fat boy's phone: "Hello, kids."
Zhu Jianrui's face twisted inch by inch.
The chubby boy gradually became petrified.
The department head smiled awkwardly but politely at the camera and said into the microphone, "I'm sorry, I can't open the firewall for you."
Finally realizing that they seemed to have been under Zhuang Li's surveillance for a long time, and that their various behaviors were watched by so many people, they seemed extremely stupid. The two teenagers' mentality completely collapsed.
