Dream Entertainment's official player forum was attacked by nearly 13,000 users who were posting content.
This was not considered a hacker attack. In fact, it did not affect the Dream Entertainment's official player forum at all.
Even the order of the official player forum was not affected.
This was because the Dream Entertainment's official player forum was a global forum and was managed by Izur.
It was up to Izual to determine which posts in the forum were meaningful and which were not.
For example, in the World of Heroes game board, it was divided into many small sections.
This included discussion of the plot, character, mission levels, map information, equipment appreciation, and so on.
Among the many small sections, there were more detailed sub-sections.
For example, in the mission levels section, there were sub-sections that corresponded to the mission levels.
Missions of different levels had to be posted in different sub-sections and could not be posted across sections.
If a post was posted across sections, Izur would move the post.
At the same time, a portion of the forum points would be deducted.
If a player continued to post content without dividing it into sections, they would be severely punished by Izual.
Of course, in the Dream Entertainment's official player forum, there was a section called "Free World." It was convenient for players from all over the world to freely post, post rumors, and even advertise.
Currently, all the posts of the 12,000 users who posted content attacks were restricted by Izur to the "Dark Abyss" sub-section of the "Free World" section.
The so-called "Dark Abyss" meant that the posts in this sub-section were basically meaningless and were waiting for the system to delete them.
Normally, no players would enter the "Dark Abyss" sub-section to check the forum.
Therefore, the attacks of the 12,000 users would not cause any damage to the Dream Entertainment's official player forum.
However, Shi Lei would not let this go. Shi Lei ordered Izur to randomly select 100 users and reverse-track their real IP addresses.
If it was reverse-tracking the real IP addresses of normal users, it would be a piece of cake for Izur. It was like calculating 1 + 1.
Even if one were to reverse-track the real IP addresses of 100 users at the same time, the difficulty would not increase by much. At most, it would become 1 + 1 + 1.
However, there was an anomaly in the matter that was supposed to be in the bag!
"Sir, the system is unable to determine the real IP address of the randomly selected user!" Izur reported to Shi Lei through the LIP lens information processor.
Shi Lei was stunned. "You can't determine which user's real IP address?"
Shi Lei immediately asked. This was a clue. As long as the specific people were identified, they could continue to dig deeper with this clue.
However, the information displayed on Izur's computer screen made Shi Lei's expression change drastically.
This was because Izur could not determine the users' real IP addresses. It was not one user or two users, but a random selection of 100 users. None of them could determine their real IP addresses!
A random selection of 100 users from nearly 13,000 users could almost represent the characteristics of the entire group.
This meant that Izur could not directly determine the real IP addresses of nearly 13,000 users!
"Izur, block these 100 users and randomly select another 100 users from the remaining users.
Then, reverse-track their real IP addresses! "Shi Lei ordered again.
If the real IP addresses of the 100 randomly selected users could not be determined again, it could only mean one thing.
The 13,000 users who launched the content attack were not normal users at all!
If they were not normal users, did they all register with a virtual identity?
However, how could the real-name registration mechanism of Dream Entertainment's official player forum be so easy to bypass?
In less than ten seconds, Izur reported back, "Sir, the system is unable to reverse-track the real IP addresses of the 100 randomly selected users in the second batch."
"What's the reason?" Shi Lei asked in detail.
Izur displayed the reason in detail on the virtual transparent screen of the LIP lens information processor. When Izur used the Black Devil System to reverse-track the real IP addresses of the random users, he encountered a strong defense system.
Even though Izur's Black Devil System, with the help of IWN's secret network and the supercomputer Lightning, had reached the level of a world-class hacker, it could not break through the defense system.
To make matters worse, regardless of whether it was the 100 randomly selected users in the first batch or the 100 randomly selected users in the second batch, Shi Lei found that their defense systems all originated from the same protection server.
In other words, Izur reverse-tracked the 200 randomly selected users to the same protection server.
This situation confirmed Shi Lei's speculation!
The nearly 13,000 users were indeed all zombie users. They were not real users who had been hired with money as Shi Lei had initially guessed.
Only zombie users could be managed collectively and then converge on the same protection server to resist Izur's reverse-tracking!
"What kind of defense system did the other party use to protect the server?" Shi Lei frowned.
The infiltration of Dream Entertainment's official player forum revealed a strange atmosphere.
Originally, it was just a joking content attack, but there seemed to be a hidden conspiracy behind it.
"Sir, we are unable to determine what kind of defense system the attacker's protection server used.
According to the system's preliminary judgment, the intruder's protection server has used 300 tflops of intensive distributed computing resources to resist the system's reverse-tracking, "Izur replied with specific data.
"F * ck?" Shi Lei sucked in a breath of cold air!
300 tflops of computing resources!
300 tflops of intensive distributed computing resources!
This meant that the mysterious intruder who controlled a large number of zombie users and carried out the ridiculous content attack had a supercomputer equivalent to the supercomputer Lightning, or a supercomputer cluster!
In the entire world, there were only a handful of forces that had a supercomputer with a computing speed of more than 300 tflops.
Even the powerful Angel Council did not have so many computing resources.
Therefore, Jehovah of the Angel Council was completely suppressed by Shi Lei and Raphael to the point that he could not resist.
When there was not much difference in skills, the computing resources controlled determined everything.
After Shi Lei exclaimed, he put his hands on the keyboard and personally checked the mysterious intruder's protection server.
When Shi Lei launched a probing attack, Shi Lei simultaneously performed a data analysis.
As Shi Lei used more and more computing resources, more than 90% of the 300 tflops intensive distributed computing resources of the supercomputer Lightning had been used by Shi Lei.
However, the mysterious intruder's protection server did not respond at all.
At this time, Shi Lei detected that the computing resources of the protection server had indeed reached 300 tflops.
Although the information provided by Izur's feedback confirmed the strength of the enemy, Shi Lei was not too depressed.
In fact, Shi Lei was secretly delighted!
The computing resources used by Shi Lei to attack the protection server were only 280 tflops intensive distributed computing resources provided by the supercomputer Lightning.
However, when the mysterious intruder's protection server resisted Shi Lei's invasion, it used 300 tflops intensive distributed computing resources.
This meant that the defense system used by the mysterious intruder's protection server basically had to invest computing resources in a 1: 1 ratio to resist the invasion.
For a defense system, this ratio was not excellent.
A truly excellent defense system, such as the Endless Defense System owned by the Mirage Technology Group, could reach a ratio of 1: 5 under normal circumstances.
Even in a small-scale invasion, the Endless Defense System's defense investment and invasion investment could reach an exaggerated ratio of 1: 10.
However, as the number of computing resources increased, this ratio would gradually decrease.
After a certain amount, the ratio of defense to invasion investment of the Endless Defense System could only reach a ratio of 1: 5 at most.
One should not think that a ratio of 1: 5 defense to invasion investment was not exaggerated.
This ratio was extremely exaggerated. It was understandable that the Endless Defense System was known as the world's best defense system!
"Izur, coordinate the calculation of the overall structure of IWN's Secret Web. Prepare to activate the overall resources of IWN's Secret Web at any time." Shi Lei ordered Izur to prepare IWN's Secret Web.
After giving the order, Shi Lei thought for a moment. In the end, he gritted his teeth and continued to order, "Detect IWN's situation. Confirm GoodSeed for the second time. Activate the OverSeed operation plan in advance!"
"Sir, warning, OverSeed is a dangerous operation. Please authorize the operation." Izur reminded Shi Lei and asked Shi Lei to authorize the operation.
The so-called IWN Feed was the user of the Hero's World who provided computing resources for IWN's Secret Web. Every user represented an IWN Secret Web base, which was an IWN Feed.
GoodSeed meant that users with well-configured computers, especially those who used personal game servers, were GoodSeed users.
The OverSeed operation plan was defined as a dangerous operation because it would increase the amount of computing resources that IWN's Secret Web could obtain from IWN Feed users.
Activating the OverSeed operation in advance was also a last resort.
After all, Shi Lei had analyzed some dangerous situations …
