Chapter 43 - Chapter 43 - The Federation-Solaria Hacker War (I)

At 7:30, Elliot opened the DDoS attack tool, controlling 100,000 botnets, ready to launch a fierce attack on Solaria's network at any moment.

That's right, for this operation, Elliot prepared 100,000 botnets.

Botnets are equivalent to a 's bullets; 100,000 botnets attacking simultaneously is enough to destroy most websites in the world.

The first batch of targets for the "4.18" operation included 60 official websites such as the Solarian Maritime Guard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Finance.

The second batch of targets included hundreds of mainstream television stations and websites such as Peak Broadcasting, Solis Television, Solarian Financial News, Solaria Daily, and SearchNet Solis.

The third batch of targets included websites of large enterprises like OmniCorp, PlayTech, Solis Metro, and Solarian Airways, as well as important transportation departments like subways and airlines.

The scale of this operation was larger than the Federation-United Federation War in 2000.

"Brothers, Solaria's two organizations, DoomNet and ShadowSuit, are boasting on the external network, saying they will make sure we don't return and wipe us all out. Their arrogance is rampant!" a group member messaged.

The Crimson Hacker Base's operation was not deliberately kept secret. Solaria's organizations received the news early and naturally reacted.

Time passed minute by minute, less than five minutes until eight o'clock.

"Holy crap! The brothers from the Hawk Alliance have moved faster than us! They've already hacked the Solarian Maritime Guard's official website!" A message popped up in the group.

Can they even snatch targets?

Elliot opened the official website of the Solarian Maritime Guard.

He saw that the website's page had turned into a red background with a hawk's head on it, which was the symbol of the "Hawk Alliance."

The Hawk Alliance is another famous organization in the Federation and also participated in the "4.18" operation.

Besides the "Crimson Hacker Base" and the "Hawk Alliance," many domestic organizations spontaneously organized actions. No one wanted to fall behind in attacking Solaria.

"Wow, someone really is snatching targets. Let's hurry up and act!"

"@Administrator, it's only 5 minutes until 8 o'clock. Can we act ahead of schedule?"

"Yeah, if we wait any longer, all the good targets will be snatched by other brothers, and we'll only be left with scraps!"

"Let's start now!"

"@Administrator, requesting to fight!"

"Requesting to fight +1"

...

Members in the group were all requesting to fight.

"@All members, please calm down. Everything will proceed according to the plan. Don't cause chaos!" Administrator Brother Yuan came out to maintain order.

Alright, this isn't playing house. If a plan is made, it must be executed.

Everyone could only wait patiently.

At this moment, Elliot saw someone in the group sharing a GNN live stream link.

He clicked the link and was redirected to a GNN live stream room.

The live stream was showing live footage of the Solarian Maritime Guard's exercise:

Four warships were scattered across the sea, and in the distance, an anti-submarine patrol aircraft was circling at low altitude.

...

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Exactly 8 o'clock, the attack began.

The Crimson Hacker Base's more than a dozen chat groups of 2000 people each, over 20,000 , swept towards Solaria's network like a mighty flood.

Just one minute later, the first battle report came back:

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' official website had a bright red flag planted on it.

1 minute and 05 seconds, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's official website, flag planting successful.

1 minute and 12 seconds, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's official website, flag planting successful.

1 minute and 20 seconds, the Imperial Household Agency, the official website of the Solarian Royal Family, flag planting successful.

...

Solis Metropolitan Area, in an internet cafe.

Nolan had just sat down, opened his computer, and habitually browsed the Peak News website.

"What?" Nolan's eyes widened suddenly in disbelief.

The homepage of Peak News had turned into a bright red background, with a striking slogan written in both the Federation language and Solarian:

"The Crescent Isles belong to the Federation. Solaria, get the hell out!"

"What's going on? Has the website been attacked by ?"

Nolan refreshed several times, but the page remained the same. Then he opened several other large news websites, all of which were hacked.

What's happening?

Nolan was completely bewildered.

Could it be... The Federation has declared war on Solaria?

Apex University, men's dormitory building.

In the room, three boys were present. One with a buzz cut was lying on the bed scrolling through his phone, one wearing glasses was sitting at his desk reading, and one with red hair was sitting in front of the computer playing a game.

"Wow wow wow! Big news! Big news!" The buzz-cut boy suddenly shrieked, sat up from his bed, and shouted at the other two boys.

He got up and walked over to the red-haired boy, "Julian, quickly open the SearchNet website!"

"What's wrong?" Julian asked confusedly.

"I just saw the news that Federation attacked our websites, and many websites have been hacked, even SearchNet. Quickly see if it's true?" The buzz-cut boy, Damon, spoke very quickly.

Julian minimized the game window and opened the SearchNet website.

"Oh!"

On the page of the SearchNet Solis website, there was a bright five-starred red flag and a bilingual Federation and Solarian slogan:

"The Crescent Isles belong to the Federation. Solaria, get the hell out!"

"It really was hacked! Let's check Solis Television," Damon urged.

Julian opened the official website of Solis Television, and what appeared was a five-starred red flag.

They then consecutively opened several websites, and without exception, they were all hacked.

"What on earth is going on?" Kael, the boy who was reading, also walked over, standing behind the two with a shocked expression.

"The internet says that Federation launched the attack, and many of our portal websites are down."

...

"Federation , detestable!"

In the men's dormitory building of Solis University, an angry curse was heard.

A boy wearing a basketball jersey, named Trent, sat in front of his computer and also found that several websites he frequently visited had all been breached by .

He clicked on the school forum, where students were discussing Federation .

"Take back the Crescent Isles."

"Solis Television, Peak News, and SearchNet are all hacked."

"What are our doing? Why aren't they counterattacking?"

"Counterattack."

...

Solaria's did counterattack.

However, their skill level was not good, and coupled with the Federation ' thorough preparation, the strength of the two sides was not on the same level.

Facing the surging flood of Federation , they retreated steadily, completely unable to fight back.

Port Aurelia.

In an apartment building in the city center, Silas was sitting in front of his computer, frantically typing on the keyboard, which was almost smoking.

"Damn it! Hold on! You must hold on!" He kept cursing under his breath, his face covered in sweat.

Silas is a member of the DoomNet organization and was desperately trying to counterattack the Federation .

The Federation ' offensive was too powerful. They were like a small boat in a stormy sea, in danger of being swallowed by the giant waves at any moment.

"Bastards!" Silas let out another cry of despair.

On the computer screen, the background of the website he was responsible for defending suddenly turned red, and a bright five-starred red flag fluttered in the center of the screen, particularly glaring.

Failed again.
