Chapter 392

Many people equate geeks with hackers, but there is a certain difference between the two.

Geek comes from the American slang geek, which originally means people who are interested in one or several specific fields and spend a lot of time on research. Geek is mostly used in the computer field, with a certain derogatory color at the beginning, and also extended to a derogatory term for hackers at the beginning of the PC revolution.

But now, especially after the rise of a group of Silicon Valley bigwigs such as jobs and gates, the word Geek has been given a new meaning, and is more labeled as free, creative and unconventional.

Yes, geeks are such a group of people. They are Internet adventurers, hardware enthusiasts, hackers, communication enthusiasts, technology houses, programmers, engineers

"In short, you can be anyone who is in line with our spirit and can join the 01 guerrillas," Phillip said. "Of course, most of the people who join are computer related, although we always hope to have girls who are in cheerleading or dancers join us."

“…………”

"We have our own secret forum and self-made instant messaging software. We usually discuss some technical problems on it. You can also put your problems on it and wait for others to answer them, or simply show off your skills. The people on it are very good."

"Is Edward one of you?" Zhang Heng asked.

"No, Edward, he It's not our people. " Horsetail male way.

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"About a year ago, Edward black entered our forum, the website we built together." Waldo was still surprised when he mentioned it.

"Is it difficult?"

"Well, it's not too difficult. It's a little easier than hacking into the national defense system." Philip said, "the most important thing is that he did it quietly. If he didn't leave a message to us afterwards, we didn't know he was here at all."

"What information?"

"At the beginning, it was just something like greeting. You know, hackers kept a low profile, but in fact, many of them were eager to pay attention. The more difficult it was to achieve goals and where it was not easy to get in, they could not help leaving something behind. For example, I knew that a guy had slipped into the human resources department of SFR, a telecom giant After the system, how many red flowers were sent to each employee who was still working overtime that night in SFR. "

"Ha."

"It's the same with that guy. He left a pixel map of pac man, but it's very small. In the lower right corner of the homepage, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it. In a word, it was the first time we met Edward. After that, we redone the firewall and encryption system, but that guy finally succeeded in invading."

"Are you angry?"

Horsetail man pushed glasses, "angry? No, no, no, it's like an interesting game for us. We enjoy playing chess with that guy, so we redo the forum again, but as you can probably guess, he beat us again But in the process, we all had a good time, and from then on, we began to have further communication.

"We always thought that the opposite side was a group like us, but the fact surprised us. The guy said that his name was Edward, and there was only one person. He said that he was hired by a very powerful organization and was working on a very cool project that could subvert the world. Once successful, it would change everyone's way of life and travel, but the content and address must be kept secret .

"We didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning, because you know, hackers, no one doesn't like to boast. They always boast about how powerful they were in the past, but in fact most people don't even boast about half of them. Edward is very powerful, which I admit. No, he is the most powerful guy I have ever seen It's not too much, but it's a bit exaggerated to subvert the world. Anyway, we've met a new friend. "

"After that, Edward would come to our forum from time to time to brag and fart with us. Occasionally, he would disclose some recent events, but it's basically just the executive's skirt today and how about lunch. He is a guy with contract spirit. He never discussed specific work until a month ago, we suddenly got the news from his group He said he didn't know if he was doing the right thing

Philip said, "I asked him what happened and whether he was under a bit of work pressure recently, but he didn't reply. About another week later, he suddenly contacted me and said that he had escaped and had something very important in his hand. When I asked him what it was, he sent me a document. From that document, I can see that things may be really not very good."

"Why not?"

Philip looked around and said in a low voice, "this is a project called CTOs. They plan to build a powerful central control system to connect all the public facilities in the city to the network. It's like installing a brain for the city. They can learn the hidden rules from the massive data that can't be found by the naked eye. In this way, they can overcome the problems in the past because of the lack of information For the problem that the decision-maker can only do the local optimal strategy but can not really find the global optimal solution, the public resources are redistributed through calculation to avoid waste."For example, if you connect the signal lights at all intersections into the network, you can re plan and calculate the optimal time allocation of each signal light to save travel time. At the same time, if there is an accident on the road, the city brain will directly feed back the alarm to the hospital, so that the ambulance can arrive in the shortest time."

"That sounds good."

"Yes, Edward thought so at first, but later he found that there were other purposes behind CTOs. Once the system was established, it would not only collect the public facilities, but also actively collect the data and information of all citizens, including your phone messages, medical records, medical insurance number, criminal records, favorite websites, chat objects, browsing records and chat content Every credit card consumption will be controlled by it. "

"It's a disaster." Horsetail male way.

"Yes, it means that from now on our every move will be under the surveillance of others, we no longer have any privacy, even the room is full of cameras." Waldo also rarely serious up, "you do not know when they will mobilize your PC or mobile phone, or even your drone."

"And if it goes on like this, things may get worse. This is only the first stage. In the second stage, CTOs will automatically analyze and mark everyone's dangerous tendencies. Of course, it's a good thing to prevent crimes in advance, but we don't know how it calculates everyone's dangerous tendencies. We don't have any restrictions People can be labeled as dangerous. "
