Chapter 426 The Second Siege on Ellen Street

【Memory memory reading.】

[Reading cyber modulator operation records]

[Hardware damage,,,]

[Data stream intercepted and being restored. 】

[Little Octopus: Brother, it is indeed a cracked version of the software and hardware. It is quite powerful, but when something goes wrong, people will immediately belch. 】

Ellen Street is a slum composed of a bunch of irregular low-rise apartment buildings that are decades old. The illegal additions are twisted and obscured above the street. When walking on the street, you can't even see the lights of the Night City. Not to mention the night sky.

Before the entire operation began, Leal was still checking and scanning the memory of the stall owner.

Because the Brain Demon Gang is a scheming group that is good at using conspiracy.

Judging from the stall owner's performance before and after, it is very likely that this location was discovered by the Brain Demon Gang who remotely controlled the stall owner. They just wanted people to come to the door.

Leal exited the database and returned to reality.

The demolished Phoenix Nightclub on Ellen Street is still being rebuilt. It is surrounded by scaffolding. Workers using special work prostheses can be seen nearby. After work, they can drop by the sex doll shop next to it to relieve stress.

On the surface, nothing has changed on Ellen Street.

No one from the Brain Demon Gang was seen.

Someone asked: Why does Lille seem to get nothing at all every time despite having advanced training experience at Arasaka Academy and advanced tutorials on network monitoring?

First of all, information technology is not magic, it is not information attached to magic elements floating in the air. Magicians work hard to practice, and some seventh-level great magicians can stabilize the sixth-level great magicians.

Information attack and defense is a multi-dimensional task, and computing power is a very general concept. Even if the attacker only has 1CCU of computing power, as long as he obtains system permissions, this 1CCU of computing power may collapse the entire enterprise.

On the contrary, complex encryption transformation, endpoint protection engineering, and joint encryption of multiple communication frequency bands require brute force cracking without knowing the key, and the computing power required increases exponentially.

The simplest dynamic grid encryption transformation algorithm can change the key 16 times per minute. The key consists of 729 digits and specified characters, making brute force cracking almost impossible.

More complex receiving and transmitting equipment can even directly identify complex communication radio waves, using specific mathematics and change algorithms to detect extremely low frequency waves to extremely high frequency waves that may exist at the same time. The frequency band covers 3HZ~3GHZ, and intercepts the basis of each unit time. The change algorithm specifies the frequency band content, which is then transformed into specific data.

The complexity of mathematics, cryptography and the development of electronic technology determine that in this era where the Internet has collapsed and LANs are everywhere, it is impossible to crack a special LAN on the Internet purely by relying on brute force.

If you use brute force to try to crack it, the probability of access by chance, and the size of its denominator, can easily exceed the sum of the number of particles in the universe—even exponential times this number.

If you were in a bad land, the radio channels might be relatively quiet, and brute force cracking would still be feasible; but in Night City, too much invisible information continues to be transmitted, and you want to rely on brute force to crack through thousands of networks. Rampant

This is impossible, even if Buttermos comes, after all, the Internet no longer exists.

Knowledge is not a "power" that can be manifested so easily, otherwise there wouldn't be so many dropouts and gangsters in Night City——

After all, watching Mewtwo is really much more enjoyable than reading a book. Most people can only see specific enemies:

Today I am unhappy with the neighbor opposite the door, tomorrow I am unhappy with my classmates, the day after tomorrow I am unhappy with the guy who rides the bus every day, or someone who appears on the TV, or someone who uses a certain ID in the online community. By.

A strong prosthetic body can directly resolve this conflict, and a gun can be more thorough.

Hackers need to solve "problems", so they need to learn.

If after learning, the numbers are still too high, then use social engineering to solve the problem.

In most cases, hackers need to obtain the interface in the real world before they can proceed to the next step.

Secondly, although the Brain Demon Gang is also an explosive modification tribe, they are different from the Uzumaki Gang in that they prefer to master knowledge rather than purely explosive modification.

They are very insidious.

Lille can find some traces of communication in the stall owner's system, including the frequency bands, ports and keys used for communication, but who can guarantee that the server used by the Brain Demon Gang to communicate with the outside world is not a honeypot that can explode at any time? ?

Everything can only get to the true intersection of cyber intrusion through real contact, trial and error, eliminating false options and piecing together real clues.

And contact means the possibility of falling into a trap.

Therefore, in network attack and defense, whether it is the defender who successfully triggers the trap or the attacker who has mastered a certain piece of real information, the one who moves first will have a huge advantage.

if there is no advantage

So why are you still stuck on the Internet?

Ellen Street was completely surrounded.

The NCPD detectives were on the outermost perimeter, and Mox slowly formed an encirclement. A total of 262 heavily armed combatants were advancing.

The Moxes are not very organized as a gang, but they appear in groups on the streets, and ordinary people can easily spot anomalies when they see them and run away.

Although the NCPD calls them trash every day, they still use the corporate castration version of the training program, and collective operations must be more orderly.

These plainclothes detectives quickly occupied the design points suitable for fighting in alleys and corridors, and gradually investigated possible ambush.

Finally, Mackinac took the lead—the car was at the forefront of the encirclement.

The Brain Demon Gang is a gang that is good at conspiracy and conspiracy. In the case of information asymmetry, just launch a method to crush them from a distance.

but

Lille glanced at the NCPD policemen who were advancing rapidly in the shadows, and felt that the efficiency of these policemen was much higher, significantly higher than the NCPD average.

And very young.

[Correspondent: River]

[Lille: Newly recruited young people? 】

[River: Most of the people in the bureau have been captured, and some have been dismissed. They have been recruiting new people during this period - just in time, this is a good opportunity for new people to practice, after all, you are the leader. 】

[River: Don’t underestimate these young people. Young people who have just graduated are the best. 】

NCPD usually seems useless, but there are many external factors working together.

Young people who have just graduated still have the techniques and tactics they learned in school imprinted in their minds. Their prosthetics and muscles still remember those movements, and their beliefs have not been changed by the complex situation in Night City, and they are defeated by the feeling of powerlessness.

They are fast, in shape and most importantly, determined.

[Lille: There are a lot of complaints about cooperating with gangs, right? 】

[River: Haha, because you took the lead. Sorry, I gave them some slack. 】

[River: Because you are a legend, they don’t see any problem with this. 】

[River: Some people think you are an undercover agent. 】

V in the driver's seat laughed out loud when he heard this: "Did you hear that, Jack? The police are following our example."

Jack giggled, the light from the welding flashing.

Lear is about to experiment with a new piece of equipment on Jack.

"Secorating Knuckles" are gloves, essentially weapons.

Whether it's Atlas or Cyberpunk, Lear needs frontal units with thicker armor.

On the trunk of Mackinac, Jack is getting final gear.

[River: But this thing of yours is a bit out of specification, you’d better register it. 】
