Chapter 1789

.

The needle in a haystack plan was the only way to find the real IP address of Butler's server.

Although this plan would consume a lot of resources, Shi Lei didn't care!

Shi Lei only cared about whether or not he could find the real IP address of Butler's server, and when he could find the real IP address of Butler's server.

Shi Lei's confidantes had already entered the line of sight of the grim reaper. If he wanted to save them all, he had to race against the grim reaper.

Especially Lingyumo, she only had less than 660 hours left to live!

Izur started the needle in a haystack plan. The logic analysis program had been started, and it began to analyze every IP address in the Internet world, as well as the subnets under the IP address, and so on.

The most important part of the needle in a haystack plan was the classification system!

The so-called classification system was to classify the IP addresses within the Internet into different categories, and according to different levels, they were divided into different levels of attention.

Through the classification system, the workload of the needle in a haystack plan was effectively reduced. It was like the work of screening soybeans. If black beans were mixed in, they had to be eliminated first.

Now, the classification system of the needle in a haystack plan was to classify the different IP addresses and which users they belonged to. According to the restrictions set by Shi Lei, the classification system would first exclude the IP segments of individual users, and then exclude the IP segments related to known organizations, enterprises, government departments, and so on.

After excluding the IP segments of individual users, business users, and government agencies, the remaining IP addresses that needed to be analyzed were greatly reduced.

Through the classification system, the workload of the needle in a haystack plan could be reduced by at least half!

The IP addresses that were not excluded would also be classified into different levels. According to the level of threat, from low to high, they were classified into safe level, unknown level, and suspect level.

Among them, the safe level was that it was 655% certain that it was definitely not the real IP address of Butler's server. Only then would it be placed in the safe level.

The unknown level was that after Izur's initial scan, the situation could not be determined, and it would be placed in the unknown level. This was because if after Izur's initial scan, the situation could not be determined, and if Izur carried out further scanning tasks, it would require more computing resources, and it would drag down the overall progress of the needle in a haystack.

In order to avoid such a situation, Shi Lei set up an unknown IP address and directly listed it as unknown. The system administrator would then be notified, and the system administrator would personally scan and analyze it.

The last suspect was the IP address discovered by Izur after a preliminary scan. It might be the real IP address of Butler's main server.

The number of suspects would definitely not be too many. Setting this level was just a precaution!

"The grading system has been completed. The needle-in-a-haystack plan has officially begun!" Izur sent out another notification.

On the virtual transparent screen of the LIP lens-type information processor, it showed that the needle in a haystack plan had officially begun. Shi Lei had chosen Lijian Province as the first screening area for his needle in a haystack plan!

After all, both the Solomon Devil organization and the Angel Council were rooted in Lijian Province. In his other life journey, Shi Lei knew that Abertier's main server was located in Lijian Province.

The computing resources gathered by IWN's secret network were all poured into Lijian Province through the private neutrino communication network of Mirui Technology Group. They began to scan the entire Internet world of Lijian Province.

More than one million Tflops of computing resources poured into the Internet world of Lijian Province. The CIA, CIA, and FBI's cyber security department were almost scared to death!

With such a huge amount of computing resources, whether it was the CIA, CIA, or FBI, they could not guarantee that they would be able to withstand it 655%.

Even if those computing resources were only loose and distributed computing resources. When loose and distributed computing resources were gathered to a certain extent, it was still very frightening.

Fortunately!

The CIA, the CIA, and the FBI's cybersecurity department discovered that the millions of computing resources that had poured into Lijian's cyberspace were only scanning the cyberspace and did not seem to have any intention of destroying it. They breathed a sigh of relief.

Lijian Province was a democratic and open country, at least on the surface!

Whether it was the CIA, the Central Intelligence Agency, the FBI, the FBI, or their boss, the NSA, or even the DARPA Advanced Research Institute, all of their internal networks had access points in the Internet world. Some of them were even public access points.

Any hacker who was a little bit famous all knew the access points of their internal networks.

This included the access points of the Lijian Province government's network and the military's network in the Internet world. It was not a secret. The servers that really stored the information that could not see the light of day were definitely in an environment that was isolated from the Internet. There was even no electronic information.

Therefore, when the CIA, CIA, and FBI's cyber security department discovered that the millions of computing resources that poured into the Internet world were only searching for IP address information in the Internet world, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

If the actual controller of these millions of computing resources wanted to have a conflict with the Lijian Province, or if they wanted to steal confidential information from the Lijian Province, they would definitely not scan for IP address information in the Internet world. Instead, they would directly roll up their sleeves and attack the target.

Now, the behavior of the millions of computing resources clearly indicated one thing. The millions of computing resources were looking for a hidden target. Moreover, it should be because of a personal grudge, and not because they wanted to steal confidential information from the Lijian Province government.

The results of this analysis made the experts in the CIA, CIA, FBI, and cyber security department feel relieved, but they were also secretly worried.

After all, millions of computing resources rushed into the Internet world of Lijian Province. Even if they did not show any malicious intent for the time being, what if they did?

No one could guarantee that the other party did not have any malicious intent, right?

In order to prevent the millions of computing resources from invading the Lijian Province government's network, and even the military's network, the CIA, CIA, FBI, and FBI began to prepare countermeasures.

If Shi Lei knew of their worries, Shi Lei would definitely sneer at them. Why would Shi Lei waste time and computing resources to invade the Lijian Province's network?

What a joke!

Shi Lei's time was precious. Under such circumstances, there was no way he would waste it on them!

"Stone Head, there are 72 unknown IP addresses that have been marked. Which one should we start with?" Tao Wenxian asked Shi Lei.

"I'll take these two!" Shi Lei directly picked two of the addresses as the first batch of unknown IP addresses that would be manually analyzed.

Tao Wenxian revealed a puzzled expression. Could it be that Shi Lei had randomly picked two addresses?

Raphael explained on behalf of Shi Lei, "Both of the IP addresses are from New York!"

Tao Wenxian coughed. He obviously did not have the hobby of memorizing the location of IP addresses. Anyway, it was not difficult to investigate the corresponding real-life address of an IP address. Why should he memorize it?

In order to hide his embarrassment, Tao Wenxian ordered, "Izur, mark all the unknown IP addresses with their location."

Shi Lei did not make fun of Tao Wenxian. After all, there was no rule that said that the world's top hackers needed to record the location of an IP address.

Of course, a considerable number of hackers did record the location of an IP address so that they could quickly determine the location of the IP address.

Shi Lei chose two New York IP addresses mainly because the Angel Council's Abertier's main server was located in New York City.

Don't think that just because New York City was too prosperous and too big of a target, the Serpent of Chaos would not put Butler's main server in New York City.

In fact, such a possibility was completely possible!

As the saying goes, a great hermit hides in the city!

What if Butler's main server was in New York City?

No one could be sure of the answer to this question before the final result was out!

Shi Lei and the other two quickly scanned and analyzed the two unknown IP addresses. One of the unknown IP addresses was even hacked by the three of them. They found that the unknown IP address was a heavily guarded cross-border website that mainly provided private romance, action, and art movie download services for overseas users.

Shi Lei was very kind and did not tamper with the other party's data server. After all, such good people served too many otakus in need. They could not cut off the otakus' benefits, right?

The two unknown IP addresses that Shi Lei chose had nothing to do with Butler. Shi Lei was not surprised by this result at all.

If it was so easy to discover Butler's real IP address, why would Shi Lei need to make such a big fuss?

Without any results, Shi Lei and the other two began to analyze each unknown IP address. As the three of them worked together with Izur, the IP addresses were cracked one after another, but they still did not get an answer.

Shi Lei took some time to look at the progress of the needle in the haystack plan. It was 67: 85. The needle in the haystack plan had been running for half an hour, but the progress was very pitiful!

The first screening area of the needle in the haystack plan was Lijian Province. After half an hour, the screening progress was less than 8%!

This meant that it would take at least 75 hours to completely search through every IP address in Lijian Province's online world in Lijian Province!

The whole world was so big. The real IP address of Butler's main server could exist in any place's online space.

How could Shi Lei have so much time to slowly search through one area after another?

Simply put, Shi Lei's computing resources were still not enough!
