After Li Ranzhu finished typing, he started thinking about how to set a trap to properly take revenge on Chen Mo. After pondering for a while, Li Ranzhu's eyes lit up and he said, "Hmph! This time, I'll send you to the eighteenth level of hell!"
Chen Mo never thought that he had already been set up by his beautiful master. He typed, "Beautiful master, please speak. Your disciple will certainly strive to complete your test."
Li Ranzhu chuckled and typed, "Below, the master will give you an IP address. Try to hack into it. If you succeed, you will be able to further receive the master's guidance."
Chen Mo was somewhat puzzled when he saw this and said, "When did I ever receive your guidance? From the moment I met you until now, I seem to have always been in the testing phase, right?"
Chen Mo naturally wouldn't let Li Ranzhu know these thoughts. To learn advanced hacking techniques from this skilled hacker, he typed, "Yes, your disciple is waiting."
Li Ranzhu thought Chen Mo was deliberately provoking her and couldn't help but hum, "Hmph, wait for your doom!"
After saying this, she sent an IP address to Chen Mo and instructed, "Start trying to hack into this address now. There's no time limit. Whenever you succeed, the master will begin the next lesson."
Chen Mo respectfully replied, "Yes, master, your disciple will try it out."
After typing, Chen Mo clicked on the address and was immediately stunned. He whispered, "This is actually an overseas IP. The master is indeed skilled, setting up a test that even crosses international borders!"
Li Ranzhu was now somewhat regretful. She frowned and said, "This is a question set by the current Global Black Hat Conference. Anyone in the hacking world basically knows about it. Will this guy see through my intentions after seeing it? If so, I won't be able to teach him a lesson... Forget it, since he's pretending to be clueless, why can't I pretend to be clueless? If he points it out, I'll just say I sent the wrong address."
After saying this, Li Ranzhu touched her flat stomach and said, "I'm so hungry, it's time to go downstairs for breakfast."
Li Ranzhu changed her clothes and left the dormitory, while Chen Mo on the other end of the computer fell into deep thought.
Although Chen Mo was very knowledgeable about computer hardware and had gained some proficiency in programming through his studies with Tian Tian last night, he had no ability to hack. The computer knowledge he had so far was all unrelated to hacking. He could defend, but attacking was a different matter.
After much thought, Chen Mo finally found a feasible approach: finding a program vulnerability and using it to modify the website's program to achieve his goal.
Through the virus he had planted with the Five of Hearts and the attack and defense battles with Li Ranzhu, Chen Mo had gained a deeper understanding of program vulnerabilities, which was a significant step up from the rigid knowledge he had learned from books. Combined with the programming he learned from Tian Tian last night, Chen Mo's understanding of programs had advanced further. He felt that his only option was to start from the program.
Ten minutes later, Chen Mo, who was very knowledgeable about computer basics, discovered a very hidden vulnerability on the website. This vulnerability was related to the structure of the website.
When Chen Mo entered the website, a dialog box suddenly popped up, written in English: "Please leave your alias and nationality."
It was like signing up for an event. Chen Mo honestly left a period as his alias and wrote down the name of Huaguo (China) behind it.
After doing this, he clicked "OK," and the dialog box immediately disappeared. A line of animated text appeared on the website: "Welcome to the competition! You can start now, good luck!"
Since the text was in various colors and constantly floating up and down, Chen Mo's attention was immediately drawn to it. At the same time, a vague idea formed in his mind, but it was not very clear, and Chen Mo couldn't grasp the key point at first.
After several minutes, Chen Mo's furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and a very happy smile appeared on his face. He whispered, "This method should work!"
The method Chen Mo referred to was related to the video editing software he had just completed. The floating English letters on the website reminded him of this video software and helped him find a vulnerability that no one else could think of!
This vulnerability arose from the program that displayed the dynamic letters. The website must have embedded a program to maintain this function. Chen Mo noticed that the floating letters were slightly unsmooth at certain times. At a specific moment, the letters would freeze for a very short time before returning to normal. Although the time was very brief, Chen Mo still noticed it after careful observation.
This indicated that there was a slight compatibility issue between the main program of the website and the program that displayed the dynamic letters. This issue was minor, and under normal circumstances, without the source code, it would be impossible to exploit. However, for Chen Mo, this opportunity still existed.
First, he carefully analyzed the program and figured out how it was embedded into the main structure of the website. As long as he found that slight compatibility issue, he could rewrite the program and use it as a breakthrough to take control of the website.
This principle was somewhat like finding a weak point in your body and then causing damage at that point, making your entire body unable to function normally.
Chen Mo observed carefully for a while and then chuckled, "It seems a bit harsh to expect a hacker to be proficient in dynamic graphics."
Chen Mo believed that the website was written by a hacker, and this was indeed the case. Generally, hackers have very comprehensive skills, reflected in their diverse attack methods. However, unfortunately, dynamic graphics programming involves video production. Even if a hacker is very comprehensive, if they are not very interested in this area, they will often have problems in this area.
The author of this website was clearly a skilled person. Chen Mo felt that the program he wrote was very rigorous, with the only flaw being a small issue when embedding the program that displayed the dynamic letters.
If this person hadn't colored the dynamic letters, this issue wouldn't exist. He might have added a small piece of code to make the dynamic letters look more aesthetically pleasing, but the problem arose from this small piece of code!
