Dream Entertainment's official website was attacked by Voisin hackers. There were more than 75,555 hackers attacking Dream Entertainment's official website!
Dream Entertainment's web server was related to the operation of the official website. Even the official player forum was supported by the web server.
If the web server was attacked, Dream Entertainment's official website and official player forum wouldn't be spared. Losing face was a small problem. If the hackers tampered with the official player forum's data, that would be a big problem.
Shi Lei originally planned to stop the download service for the World of the Brave. That way, he could free up the supercomputer and the auxiliary server clusters in the cities around the country.
With the help of the supercomputer and the auxiliary server clusters in the cities, Shi Lei could not only repel the attack of Voisin hackers, but he could also make Voisin pay a huge price.
In layman's terms, as long as Shi Lei wanted to, he could destroy the Voisin hackers!
However, if he stopped the download service for the World of the Brave, he would also be under a lot of pressure from the public.
Currently, the number of people downloading the World of the Brave had reached five million. It was this huge number of downloads that caused the supercomputer's computing resources to be so high.
Once the download service was stopped, what would the players think?
They would definitely wonder if Dream Entertainment was attacked by hackers. Would Dream Entertainment suffer any losses?
How could Dream Entertainment's defense be so weak that hackers could easily break into their official server? Would they be attacked by hackers when the World of the Brave was officially launched? If they were attacked by hackers, would the players' legal virtual assets be protected?
The World of the Brave had a high-end image from the very beginning. If they couldn't protect the players' legal virtual assets, how would the players trust Dream Entertainment? How would they be willing to invest in the World of the Brave?
Therefore, they couldn't stop the download service and couldn't let the hackers break into Dream Entertainment's web server. They had to do everything as usual and fend off Voisin's hackers. They had to leave behind evidence of Voisin's hacking and report it to the players so that they could understand Dream Entertainment's strength and have confidence in Dream Entertainment and the World of the Brave.
Previously, when Traversing Frontline was badly battered by King of Guns' cheat, some players on the official forums had analyzed that Dream Entertainment was behind this matter. At that time, most of the players who supported the Hero's World slandered the penguin.
If something happened to Dream Entertainment this time, Shi Lei believed that Ma Huateng would not let go of the opportunity to attack Dream Entertainment. Ma Huateng would hype up the attack on Dream Entertainment. Penguin News might even open up a special column to introduce it. Penguin News would definitely pop up eight to ten times to remind users that Dream Entertainment had been hacked. Players' virtual assets were at risk, and their information had been leaked!
In order to prevent Dream Entertainment from falling into a difficult situation, Shi Lei secretly made his choice in his heart.
The Interweave Secret Network was a distributed computing platform developed by Shi Lei. Its main purpose was to use the remaining computing resources of the players' computers to support the operation of the World of the Brave.
The most famous distributed computing platform was BOINC's Berkeley open network computing platform. According to BOINC's official data, in January 7553, BOINC had about 094,555 computing mainframes worldwide and provided about 307 TFLops of computing performance.
This kind of computing performance far exceeded the results of the top 055 supercomputers announced in November 7552!
In the second global supercomputer ranking in 7552, IBM's Blue Gene L was ranked first. Its average computing speed was 923.7 TFLops, and its peak computing speed was only 041.9 TFLops.
There was still a gap between Blue Gene L and BOINC's distributed computing platform!
IWN's Secret Network and BOINC's nature were the same. They were both computing platforms. The difference was that BOINC's users were voluntary, while IWN's Secret Network was in the form of a bundle.
The download service for the World of the Brave was provided by Dream Entertainment. This download service was based on the basic protocol of IWN's Secret Network.
The original reason for using the IWN Secret Network's download service was to share the burden of the Origin of Supercomputers and the city's auxiliary server cluster. It used a P7P method to implement an "I for everyone, everyone for me" strategy. Otherwise, the Origin of Supercomputers and the city's auxiliary server cluster would not be able to withstand the simultaneous download of five million people's data!
Faced with the powerful attacks of the Voisin hackers, Shi Lei had no choice but to make a difficult decision. He used IWN's Secret Network to collect the computing resources of the players.
This method was equivalent to hacking into the players' computers. It was not in line with the original intention of IWN. Shi Lei hesitated but could not think of a better solution. He could only use IWN's Secret Network. This was his final trump card.
"Izur, extract part of the network's defense and quickly search for the inactive users of IWN's Secret Network!" Shi Lei ordered with a serious expression.
Inactive users were the users of IWN's Secret Network's download service. They only downloaded the data and did not operate the computer. The reason why inactive users were chosen was because inactive users would not be detected even if part of their computer resources were removed.
Inactive users' computers would be easily detected once their computing resources were extracted. Shi Lei did not want to take the risk, even if it was not very dangerous.
"Sir, the computation is in progress. Please wait …" Izur replied to Shi Lei.
Shi Lei personally connected to the inactive users' network and helped the Infinite Defense System block some targeted attacks. The Infinite Defense System used the simplest, most direct, and most effective method of defense.
Shi Lei helped to deal with some variants of random access and reduced the burden on the Infinite Defense System.
"Sir, the inactive users of IWN's Secret Network have been tallied. A total of 6,576,876 inactive users can provide 6958.3 TFL Ops. Do you want to take over the computing resources of these IWN's Secret Network users? "Izur asked.
Shi Lei's eyes flickered with excitement!
The computing performance of 6958.3 TFL Ops was simply heaven-defying!
Dream Entertainment's supercomputer Genesis only had 65 TFL Ops. Yan's supercomputer only had 92.9 TFL Ops. The world's number one computer, Blue Gene L, had 735.1 TFL Ops. Blue Gene L had been upgraded once in 7553. Currently, it only had 735.1 TFL ops computing performance.
IWN's Secret Network's computing power was five times that of the world's number one supercomputer, Blue Gene L!
Due to some flaws in distributed computing, IWN's Secret Network's 6958.3 TFL Ops could not be fully utilized. However, it could at least display 6555 TFL Ops!
6555 TFL Ops! Shi Lei had such a powerful computing power that he dared to challenge any network in the world.
Ahem, except for DARPA!
"Voisin scum, prepare to suffer the wrath of the Stone Monster!" Shi Lei cackled.
…
Voisin, Jade of Four Souls' Monster Army. This was the most powerful Voisin's third-generation hacker group. It was almost as powerful as a second-generation hacker group.
The leader of the Jade of Four Souls' Monster Army, Nairo, was a very ambitious and capable person. This attack on Dream Entertainment was not organized by Nairo, but by someone else.
However, when Nairo found out about this operation, he immediately took over the position of the person in charge. He used his influence in Voisin's hacker community to gather a large number of hackers to attack Dream Entertainment.
That was why the tragedy of Dream Entertainment being attacked by more than 75,555 people happened!
Voisin's third-generation hacker community was involved in this operation. In a secret voice communication channel, the leader of the third-generation hacker group Red Sea, Red Lord, said, "Nairo, Dream Entertainment's defense is too strong. We don't stand a chance!"
"Idiot! Red Lord, you're too short-sighted! Dream Entertainment's defense is gradually decreasing! Haven't you noticed that Dream Entertainment's defense is much weaker than before? "Nairo lectured him without holding back.
In the third-generation hacker group, the Jade of Four Souls' Monster Army had the absolute advantage. Nairo was almost on the same level as the leader of the second-generation hacker group.
"Nairo, we don't have much time left. The Sakura Group and Hokkaido Kelp are about to lose control of Xia Xia's four Internet Security Bureau. Once the four Internet Security Bureau are free, our attack on Dream Entertainment will be stopped!" Shōwa, the leader of the third-generation hacker group Voisin, TH, reminded Nairo in the voice communication channel.
Nairo coughed to attract the other two's attention. "Shōwa, Red Lord, now that things have developed to this stage, the hope of victory is right in front of you. You don't want to fail, right? The honor of defeating Dream Entertainment will not only boost our reputation, but we'll also receive a large reward from related companies. Aren't you tempted? "
"What do you mean?" Shōwa asked calmly.
Red Lord could not hold back his anger. "Nairo, if you have any good suggestions, say it quickly!"
"The three of us don't hide our strength anymore! Bring out all your strength and attack Dream Entertainment together. Try to overthrow Dream Entertainment as soon as possible. What do you think? Do you agree to this suggestion? "
"Will the Jade of Four Souls' Monster Army bring out all your strength?" Shōwa asked.
The Jade of Four Souls' Monster Army had the absolute advantage among the third-generation hacker groups. If it were not for the lack of overall strength, they could be considered a second-generation hacker group.
Even so, the Jade of Four Souls' Monster Army was equivalent to some second-generation hacker groups that had declined. For example, Xia Xia's Dark Night Dynasty. The Jade of Four Souls' Monster Army was at least as strong as the Dark Night Dynasty. Even if there was a difference, it would not be too big!
"Don't worry, the Jade of Four Souls will bring out all our strength!" Nairo promised.
"If that's the case, TH agrees to bring out all our strength to defeat Dream Entertainment. Together, we'll bring glory to Voisin's gaming world!" Shōwa gave an affirmative answer.
Red Sea was the most miserable of the third-generation hacker groups. Red Lord had long been greedy for the reward offered by the local Voisin game company.
"I agree too! Let's do it together! "Red Lord said eagerly.
Nairo burst out laughing and said, "Good! Let's give Dream Entertainment a surprise! Let's make Voisin's third-generation hacker group known worldwide! "
However, whether it was Nairo, Red Lord, or Shōwa, none of them knew that a disaster was about to befall them …
