Li Ranzhu frowned as she read the message Chen Mo sent. After a while, she typed, "Let's put this aside for now and start the class."

After some thought, Li Ranzhu decided to observe the situation first. Although she had been insisting on tricking Chen Mo out of his money, when it came to the real thing, she suddenly hesitated. She felt that since the money was already in hand, she should at least put on a show. After all, the feeling of really becoming a fraud wasn't so good.

Chen Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw her message. He typed, "Please, beautiful master, start the lesson. Your disciple will study diligently."

Li Ranzhu then began to explain some basic hacking techniques. Chen Mo had read many posts about hacking before and had a general impression of these areas. As Li Ranzhu explained, Chen Mo felt a sudden clarity, becoming more and more engrossed. Many of the questions that had puzzled him before were now resolved.

Li Ranzhu seemed to have a natural talent for teaching. Her lessons were well-organized, meticulous, logically sound, and her thinking was thorough, indicating that her hacking skills were quite solid.

Chen Mo studied very attentively, occasionally asking questions about things he didn't understand. Li Ranzhu was very forthcoming, and a wonderful rapport formed between them, making the teaching process very smooth.

After two hours, Li Ranzhu finally stopped. She typed, "It's already eleven o'clock. Today's lesson ends here. We'll start again at nine o'clock tomorrow night. I'll send you a few links. Download the hacking software from them, and you can use it directly in the future."

Although Chen Mo felt a bit unsatisfied, it was indeed very late. Even if he felt fine, his beautiful master might not be able to handle it. Seeing Li Ranzhu's message, Chen Mo replied, "Alright, see you at nine o'clock tomorrow night. Have a good dream, beautiful master."

Li Ranzhu closed the chat window and frowned. "The cheating disciple is quite serious about learning. It seems he really doesn't know much about hacking. But why was he able to withstand my half-hour attack during the test? Strange... really strange..."

Li Ranzhu didn't know that Chen Mo only knew how to defend. His computer basics were very solid, which is why he could withstand her attacks. If Li Ranzhu had asked Chen Mo to launch an active attack, she might not have considered him a skilled hacker.

Chen Mo clicked on the links sent by his beautiful master and started downloading the hacking software. The internet speed in this villa was quite fast, at least twenty times faster than at Li Ge's computer shop. Chen Mo only took five minutes to download several hacking programs. Then he began to enthusiastically experiment with these hacking tools, eager to see how they worked.

During his experiments, Chen Mo discovered a small issue with a Trojan program. He found that when he used this Trojan program, a small icon would automatically generate in the folder containing the program, showing the time and address of the Trojan's deployment.

If it were just this, Chen Mo wouldn't have noticed anything unusual. The key was that he hadn't closed the website from which he downloaded the Trojan program. When the small icon generated in the folder, the website would automatically buffer, indicating that something was wrong with his computer.

This discovery was quite accidental. It was the first time Chen Mo used specialized hacking software, so he was very focused, wanting to see how it worked. As a result, he noticed every change on the computer screen. After discovering this subtle change, Chen Mo didn't ignore it but immediately began to investigate.

The beautiful master had previously told him that the most basic quality of a hacker is not to overlook any suspicious point, especially when using hacking techniques to infiltrate someone else's computer. Even a tiny bit of carelessness can have serious consequences.

Chen Mo found this very reasonable. Hacking is inherently in the dark; what you do is not legally allowed. If you're not careful, you might be caught, and your real IP could be exposed. For a hacker, once your real address is known, it means that misfortune could befall you at any time, which is not a pleasant feeling.

Based on the beautiful master's teachings, Chen Mo didn't ignore this subtle anomaly. He checked and quickly found that his computer had sent a data stream to the website. He frowned and muttered, "I didn't do anything like that just now, but the computer automatically accessed the website. Could it be that my computer has been hacked?"

If something happens that you didn't do, anyone who isn't a fool would realize something is amiss. For a hacker, this can only mean one thing: your computer is no longer safe!

Chen Mo quickly understood and immediately stopped the deployment of the Trojan virus, then carefully examined it.

Chen Mo started by analyzing the code of the Trojan virus. After a while, his expression changed. "This software has a backdoor!"

Upon inspection, Chen Mo found that the code of the Trojan program contained a backdoor! The main purpose of this program was to record and store various information from the infected computer on the user's computer, which is the primary working principle of a Trojan virus.

However, there was an additional small segment of code, which was very unsettling. It actually sent the user's information to the website from which the Trojan virus was downloaded!

What does this mean? It means that the person who released this Trojan software is collecting user information! Who would typically use this Trojan virus? The answer is hackers. This makes the intentions of the person who released the Trojan software very intriguing!

Clearly, the person who could write such a Trojan virus is also a hacker. He pretends to share his results under the guise of resource sharing, allowing other hackers to use them for free, while secretly collecting information about the hackers. This guy is really bold! Or perhaps his intentions are not trivial! (A great event where cool phones and other prizes await you!
