After seeing the announcement, Elliot downloaded the DDoS attack tool from the group.
He scanned the tool with antivirus software, confirmed it was virus-free, and saved it to a compromised server.
The so-called DDoS attack, also known as a flood attack, is one of the most common attack methods used by
Its principle is to generate a large amount of garbage data to bombard the target server, causing it to crash and be unable to function normally.
At this time, Elliot noticed that the large group of 2000 people was full.
And like this group, the Crimson Hacker Base had announced over a dozen, indicating that a considerable number of
Elliot exited the chat group and searched the internet for detailed information about the exercise.
In modern warfare, intelligence is crucial.
For
Only by collecting as much relevant information as possible, including target websites, server vulnerabilities, etc., can an effective attack plan be formulated.
Time passed minute by minute, and before he knew it, it was already past two in the morning.
Elliot yawned, feeling a wave of sleepiness wash over him.
Continue tomorrow; there are still two weeks to gather information.
Turning off the computer, Elliot went to bed.
...
Morning.
The scorching sunlight shone into the room.
Elliot was still fast asleep.
"Beep beep beep!"
Just then, his phone rang loudly, waking Elliot.
"Hello, who is it?" Elliot groggily reached for his phone.
"Little brother, you're still sleeping? It's already ten o'clock."
On the other end of the phone, the voice of his older sister, Emma, came through.
"Ten o'clock?" Elliot rubbed his eyes, yawning, "I went to bed quite late last night."
"Come to my place for lunch," Emma said.
His older sister's home was not far from the school, only a ten-minute bus ride, and Elliot often went to her place for meals on weekends.
"Is Brother-in-law back?" Elliot asked.
"Yes, your Brother-in-law came back yesterday. We're having a family gathering for lunch at home. Are you coming?"
"If there's good food, of course I'm coming!" Elliot said with a smile.
"Then come over now."
"Okay, I'll be right there," Elliot said.
Just as he was about to hang up, Emma's voice rang out again: "Oh, by the way, little brother, there's something I want to ask you. Do you have any ideas?"
"What is it?"
"Jayden, this child, has been addicted to games recently. He plays at home all day, and he even plays at school. His grades have dropped a lot, and I'm so worried I could die! Do you have any way to help him quit his game addiction?"
"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly. What's wrong with Jayden?" Elliot had just woken up, and his head was still a bit groggy.
"I said Jayden, this child, has been addicted to playing games recently..."
"Playing games?"
Elliot heard clearly this time.
Jayden was his older sister's son, fourteen years old this year, and currently in junior high school.
"He's just a kid; it's not a big deal to play games," Elliot said dismissively.
"He's not just playing; he's completely engrossed in it all day. He even plays secretly during class, and his teacher has called to complain!" Emma said anxiously.
"That serious? Didn't you do anything about it?" Elliot asked.
"Of course I did! I've beaten him, I've scolded him, and I've confiscated his phone. But he's something else; he even borrows his classmates' phones to play, and the money I give him for lunch, he doesn't eat and runs to the internet cafe to play games!" Emma said, sighing heavily. "I really have no way to deal with him!"
"What about Brother-in-law? Doesn't he do anything?"
"Your Brother-in-law is always on business trips, gone for months at a time. How could he have time to manage him!"
"That's true."
Elliot thought for a moment and asked, "What game is Jayden playing?"
"Miracle MU."
Elliot had played this game before.
Miracle MU is a leveling-based online game.
Elliot had also played it for a while before, and it was indeed very addictive.
Elliot had strong self-control and only played for a while before stopping.
Children lack self-control and are more likely to become addicted to games and unable to extricate themselves.
It's just that, regarding game addiction, Elliot didn't have any good solutions either... Wait!
Elliot suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a potentially feasible method.
"Older sister, don't worry. Wait until I get there, and I'll help you think of a way."
After saying that, Elliot got up, quickly washed up, put on his computer bag, and went out to hail a taxi.
"Driver, to Riverwalk Community."
After getting in the car, Elliot glanced at the time on his phone: 10:22.
He remembered.
At ten in the morning, Maggie said she was going to live stream her donation of 1.4 million to a charity.
Thinking of this, Elliot opened TrendTok and clicked into Maggie's account.
Twenty minutes ago, Maggie updated a video, publicly showing the scene of her donating 1.4 million to the charity.
At the end of the video, she even specifically showed the donation certificate to prove that her donation was real and verifiable.
Elliot smiled.
Teacher Maggie actually obediently donated 1.4 million.
Well, compared to that, exposing the scandal of her keeping a toy boy would have more serious consequences.
Not only would it ruin her reputation, cost her career, but also destroy her family.
For her, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow.
"Ding!"
His phone notification sounded, and Elliot received an email from Maggie: "I have already donated 1.4 million as you said. Shouldn't you also fulfill your promise to me?"
Elliot did not reply.
He didn't plan to delete those materials for now.
Let this sharp sword hang over Maggie's head, constantly reminding her not to do illegal and disorderly things again.
Elliot exited TrendTok and put his phone back in his pocket.
A few minutes later, the taxi arrived at its destination - Riverwalk Community.
Elliot paid the fare, came to his sister's doorstep, and gently knocked on the door.
"Coming!" A man's voice sounded.
The door opened, and Brother-in-law Victor appeared at the door.
"Brother-in-law, when did you come home?" Elliot asked with a smile.
"Came back yesterday."
"How long will you stay at home this time?"
"About two months."
Victor was a geological exploration engineer, and his work was special.
He often traveled all over the country, and each business trip lasted for several months.
"Little brother is here!" Emma, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen. "Come in and sit first, have an apple."
Emma greeted Elliot, then shouted towards the direction of the bedroom, "Jayden, your uncle is here!"
There was no response from the bedroom.
"Jayden!" Elliot shouted, walked to the bedroom door, and knocked on the door, "Jayden, what are you doing in your room?"
The bedroom door opened, and Jayden came out, "Uncle."
"You've grown taller."
Elliot smiled and patted Jayden's head.
The little guy was already almost as tall as his shoulder.
Returning to the living room, he sat down.
As soon as Jayden sat down, before his butt had even warmed the seat, he got up again, wanting to go back to his room.
"Your uncle is here, why are you still hiding in your room? Chat with your uncle." Brother-in-law Victor spoke.
Jayden didn't say anything, got up, and continued back to his room, closing the door behind him.
