209 Code
“A formal challenge?”
Interesting, there was a declaration of war between the two academies.
Qiao Yue accessed the school forum. The place where the school emblem was placed now had a logo with the words “Harvey Trash”.
The posts on the homepage were all funny pictures and provocative texts.
Qiao Yue could tell right away that this was the lowest level of intrusion, where only uploaded content was corrupted.
When KA group first started, its shopping website had also been hacked like this. At that time, she had specially studied the countermeasure and even optimized the intruder’s code and improved the firewall.
At that time, she had even posted her code on a hacker forum in D-Country. Later, a hacker competed with her on the same problem. The two of them continuously optimized the code and reconstructed the firewall. They competed like this tirelessly for two months before the other hacker gave up.
The next day, the other hacker sent a private message to Qiao Yue to admit defeat and expressed that he hoped to work with Qiao Yue in this area.
The other hacker was YQ.
Qiao Yue thought of sending the address of the school forum to YQ to have him solve the problem. But after more thought, she didn’t think it was appropriate since this was a competition between the two institutions.
Nevertheless, she sent the address of the school forum to YQ with a message.
“Study the invading code and see if our previous remedy could be optimized. You don’t need to solve it.”
YQ replied “okay” very quickly after Qiao Yue sent the message.
Qiao Yue felt a little tired after all this and fell asleep on her desk.
She had been more tired lately, like when she had first arrived at Nanshan Village.
This was strange. She had not been worried about anything recently, so why was she so tired?
Sleepiness overcame her thoughts, and she was fast asleep on her desk.
After sleeping for about half an hour, someone shook her awake.
“Qiao Yue, Qiao Yue, wake up.”
It was Xu Hao’s voice. She looked at Xu Hao and looked up with sleepy eyes. “What’s wrong?”
“It seems that the virus hasn’t been solved yet. The student council has already mobilized all the top students in our department, but it seems that there is still no progress.”
How could there be no progress?
Qiao Yue frowned. Wasn’t this just a simple virus?
She rubbed her eyes to wake herself up and saw Chang Yuan standing near the podium.
Chang Yuan’s expression was serious as he struck the blackboard several times.
“Everyone, attention please. Let’s go to the computer lab now. It’s time to test everyone. We haven’t yet solved the difficult problem set by St. Faustina’s Institution. We must come together now and solve it together.”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the students got up and walked to the computer lab. Qiao Yue followed rubbing her eyes.
YQ had yet to reply to her. Was this code that difficult to crack that even YQ was stumped?
Qiao Yue walked into the computer lab and saw that the student council members were already there.
When Qiao Yu saw Qiao Yue, he greeted her with a nod. Qiao Yu’s expression was unpleasant, probably because the problem still wasn’t resolved.
Was it really that difficult?
Qiao Yue turned on a computer. The landing page of the forum was filled with all kinds of funny pictures and texts, which made her eyes hurt.
She keyed in two lines of code and went into the backend of the school forum. The invasion code was not that sophisticated but when assembled, there were traps everywhere.
What these students studied were conventional coding and computer programs. They knew nothing about this kind of unpredictable invasion code that behaved like a virus.
Just as Qiao Yue was about to crack the code, YQ sent a message.
“Boss, I’ve found a solution.”
There was a video attached.
In the video, YQ cloned the school forum and found a solution on the cloned website.
“Was the code very difficult to solve?”
“It’s not difficult to solve, but it requires a lot of computing power. So, even if some of them are solved, with Harvey Academy’s server size, it will keep showing insufficient space.”
Qiao Yue frowned.
They used a simple code to trick the opponent, and then defeat the opponent with computing power.
The move made by St. Faustina’s Institution was malicious, unlike any move that a university student could come up with.
“Help me find out more about St. Faustina’s Institution. Get me a copy of the information on the current faculty of the computer science department and their top students.”
