Chapter 9 Unpacking

Chapter 9 Unpacking
After searching for the correct domain name, Xu Mingyuan registered an account.

There are more than a dozen sections in the forum, labeled with labels such as Trojans and intrusions.

Because the Red Hacker Alliance is very popular, there are good and bad people in it. A large number of newbies who don't understand technology but like to give advice have poured in, causing many technical experts to join the small circle.

But there are also experts who stay. Instead, they are very enthusiastic and willing to help newcomers with high-intensity support. This is the kind of people Xu Mingyuan is looking for.

Xu Mingyuan was once quite interested in this kind of content and even studied it for a period of time, but he didn't learn anything useful. He just learned how to install the system.

Xu Mingyuan did not plan to learn how to make plug-ins. These were all ready-made and he could just copy them.

What he did most was to reply to forum posts intensively, first to make himself familiar with others, and then to ask for advice on how to integrate and how to activate the software with different serial numbers.

He spent more than twelve hours in the Internet cafe every day. At the beginning, Xu Mingyuan was devoted to learning the technology, but he gave up after a few days.

His English is OK, but some of the lesser-known English terms about computers are really difficult for him to understand.

After enduring for a few days, Xu Mingyuan stopped studying.

"I'm the boss, why am I learning things from workers? This is totally putting the cart before the horse!"

Xu Mingyuan simply started searching for technical talents in the forum. Even if they couldn't afford to pay, Xu Mingyuan could still fool them.

After searching various technical forums, he actually added a dozen reliable people.

But Xu Mingyuan asked too many questions, many of which were simple, and people were too lazy to answer them because they were annoyed.

One of them, whose online name was 'Bu Jingyun', attracted Xu Mingyuan's interest, and through communication he could tell that he was a college student.

After all, there was nothing to do all day. No one was seen in the morning, and the conversations were full of chuunibyou. It seemed that there were no similar people except college students.

In addition to his good skills, he also exudes a sense of stupidity and innocence.

Seeing that Bu Jingyun was slow in replying to messages, Xu Mingyuan called the network administrator and recharged his QQ account with 100 Q coins.

xmy: Master, you are the most powerful expert I have ever seen on the Internet. No matter how others teach me, I still cannot understand, but you can understand it at once. Master is like heaven and earth compared to those fake ones. Master is the hidden master on the Internet, and you are the sweeping monk! You are Dugu Qiubai! "

Bu Jingyun: Although I have great skills, I am still learning. There are many masters on the Internet, and I am just one of them. My disciple, don’t underestimate yourself. You are still very talented and I am optimistic about you.

Seeing his silly reply, Xu Mingyuan almost laughed out loud.

Innocent children are easy to fool. Xu Mingyuan has told others many times that polite words become worthless if you say them too much. Only Bu Jingyun will happily respond to them every time.

This was in 03, when there were many innocent people but few scammers. It was nothing like a decade later when even teenagers were all cunning.

In other words, Xu Mingyuan has a kind heart, otherwise, his future as a liar would definitely be bright.

Bu Jingyun: Haha, disciple, let me tell you, there was an idiot who recharged Q coins into the wrong account and used it to charge my account.

It was followed by a long string of laughing emoticons.

xmy: I am the one who charged for it. I cannot trouble you for nothing. This is my tuition fee.

Bu Jingyun: How can this be possible? What trouble is it? Just wait, I will rush back for you.

Xmy: I have a lot of pocket money, so this amount of money is nothing to me. Master, if you are short of Q coins, just tell me.

Bu Jingyun: Aren't you in an Internet cafe? How much money can you have?

Xmy: I don’t dare to play at home. I always skip classes to surf the Internet. How can I stay in the Internet cafe every day without pocket money?

Xu Mingyuan didn't even have to think about lying, and he used his identity as a student to let the other party down.

It can't be said that he is lying. After all, he is a student now, just not in school.

Bu Jingyun: I thought you were a network administrator. I used to skip classes to surf the Internet two years ago, but I don’t do that anymore, hahaha.

Bu Jingyun on the Internet is indeed similar to the one on TV, both very naive and a straightforward person who never hides his feelings when speaking.

Although Xu Mingyuan had already seen that this kid was at most in his early twenties.

Xu Mingyuan then asked a few questions, but this time the answers were very slow.

Bu Jingyun: Disciple, please wait a moment. I have something to do and will be back soon.

Haha, it seems that this half-baked expert is going to ask for advice from someone with better skills.

Xu Mingyuan knew everything in his heart, so of course he would not expose it. He was now the party A who was looking for someone to do something, and he was the party A who only made demands but did not pay. Even if he could not get it done, he would be thankful as long as it was done.

"Dude, are you a hacker?"

"No."

Seeing someone else coming to ask, Xu Mingyuan replied casually.

He stayed in the Internet cafe all day, not playing games, his browser was either full of Trojans or plug-ins, and he stared at a bunch of codes, which naturally attracted some people's attention.

Even the Internet cafe owner noticed it and went to the network administrator to ask whether Xu Mingyuan had paid the Internet fee.

In fact, Xu Mingyuan could understand very little of the code on the screen. He just wrote down the key steps and understood what they were used for.

He has made up his mind that instead of wasting his time and effort, he would rather distribute part of the profits to the people who do the work and just take the lion's share.

It's not that he wants to have the most benefits, but he is mainly worried about getting into trouble because of a small benefit.

When moving from online to offline, there is a layer of risk avoidance consideration.

It’s not that he was worried about being caught or fined, but Xu Mingyuan used to work in real estate, an industry with a bad reputation, which made him pay special attention to his reputation.

For example, the CEO of the notorious 3721 rogue software was still being scolded by netizens years later.

Xu Mingyuan didn't want to be exposed in the future that he earned his original capital by making plug-ins in his early years.

I have a fragile heart and only want to be praised, not scolded.

"Just tell me the truth, buddy. You must be a hacker."

"Just say so."

The young man who was playing online games nearby stopped playing and kept asking questions, but Xu Mingyuan was too lazy to answer.

The middle school boy who heard this immediately became excited: "Can you hack? The kind that has a black screen and a green 001, the Matrix, bullet time, da da da..."

"No." Xu Mingyuan said speechlessly.

The second part of The Matrix, which was released not long ago, has set off a wave again. A simple search on the Internet will bring up all kinds of resources. At that time, he was influenced by this movie and became interested in this aspect.

"Then can you hack accounts? I'll give you my account number, but can you know my password?"

"do not know."

“Hackers are cool.”

"hehe."

It’s interesting to think about it. Xu Mingyuan is not even a technical beginner, but to a computer newbie, he is a mysterious hacker who is hard to find.

The half-baked master he met on the Internet might be just a tech geek, but in his eyes he is already a master.

"Brother, add me on QQ and see if you can steal my account. My password is very complicated, you definitely can't steal it..."

The young man was still talking, and he looked like he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Finally, Xu Mingyuan became annoyed by this chatterbox, and together with his friends, he downloaded a Trojan software from the forum and sent it to him.

"Open the file."

"and then?"

The middle school student obediently clicked on the file, but there was no response after clicking several times, which was a bit puzzling.

"Log out of QQ and log in again."

"anything else?"

"Your password."

Xu Mingyuan took a look at the captured password and motioned for him to see it.

"Awesome! This is amazing!"
