Chapter 04 Software Release

On the day the program, named "Electronic Space" by Mo Shui, successfully completed its experiments, Mo Shui began accessing secret servers from various countries. Many of these servers had previously been completely inaccessible, meaning they were secret servers not connected to the network. Under the positioning capabilities of the "Electronic Space" program, he easily copied all the hard disk data from these servers. In order to locate those servers that were supposedly not connected to any network, Mo Shui recklessly engaged in a three-day and two-night battle, developing a patch program called "Electronic GPS Positioning" specifically for this unique situation. As a result, it was, of course, as Mo Shui had wished. This was a groundbreaking invention, the pinnacle of technology in the hacker world, and the most proud achievement in his years of navigating the dark web. Reflecting on that initial fervor still gives Mo Shui a sense of excitement. Yes, it was a kind of fervor that lasted for five consecutive days, without sleep or rest, until he ultimately collapsed on the ground—not just lying down, but rather fainting on the ground, and then slept for a full 24 hours before waking up to find that his holiday had already ended.

Ah, Mo Shui, it has been a long time since you called home. Mother is afraid of disturbing your work, so she hasn't dared to call you. Are you doing well living alone outside?

Consider this super firewall of mine, which I have tested against hundreds of hacking software for vulnerabilities, resulting in an impenetrable system. The entire software operates based on the nine-grid principle of the "Lo Shu" square, establishing a password verification system at the network card's entry and exit points. It utilizes the temporal and spatial characteristics of the "Lo Shu" to verify both the clear and hidden codes at the ports, thereby ensuring the unpredictability of the system's password verification. Even the most aggressive password cracking tools, given unlimited attempts, remain unable to breach it. By leveraging the temporal and spatial characteristics of the "Lo Shu" for the verification of both clear and hidden codes at the ports, the system's password verification remains strictly unpredictable, rendering even the most forceful password cracking tools ineffective, regardless of the number of attempts allowed.

Mo Shui arrived at the ATM, withdrew some cash, and conveniently sent a sum of money home. Noticing that there was not much savings left, it seemed that the firewall software needed to be released to earn some extra income. Mo Shui made a decision as he entered the supermarket.

Mo Shui feels somewhat helpless; almost every time he calls home, his father knows just how to lecture him. There have been a few times when he secretly wondered if his father had a "glorious" history back in the day, but he never asked. However, it is precisely because of what his parents say that he feels much more at ease. Indeed, this is the care and concern from home, which feels both intimate and warm.

All is well, everything is fine at home, so you need not worry. Your father often complains about how you don't come back often. It's fine if you don't come back, but you don't even make a phone call. Alright, I won't say more. I'm currently cooking, so let your father say a few words to you.

Mo Shui, how are you adjusting to life outside? As a man, a real man, even if you are not accustomed to it, you must learn to adapt, do you understand? Dad's voice remains as deep as ever, a lasting impression for Mo Shui over the decades

Oh. Alright, alright, please take your time. I will open the door for you right away. Upon seeing the old woman make such a request, Mo Shui naturally had no objections and immediately turned around to open the door, making way for her

Seeing the elderly, I couldn't help but think of my parents back home. I am the only child in the family, and our financial situation is relatively good. Over the past six months, I have sent about 100,000 yuan back home, telling them that I found a good job here and am earning money. I also informed them that I bought a house here, initially hoping to have my parents move in with me. However, they said they are accustomed to living in our hometown, and they are familiar with the neighbors, so they do not want to come. I had no choice but to respect their wishes. But upon reflection, here, I don't even know who lives next door, let alone those above or below me. Sigh, it seems that this is how society is nowadays.

But upon reflection, here, I don't even know who lives next door, let alone those above or below me. Sigh, it seems that this is how society is nowadays.

Just as Mo Shui was about to turn and leave, an elderly lady with graying hair rushed over, carrying large and small bags. Seeing that her hands were full, she called out, "Young man, could you please help the old lady open a car door?" The taxi driver, noticing the elderly lady approaching, had already turned to open the front passenger door. However, seeing that she wanted to sit in the back, he had no choice but to close the door again and called out, "Young man, could you please help the old lady open a car door?" The taxi driver, noticing the elderly lady approaching, had already turned to open the front passenger door. However, seeing that she wanted to sit in the back, he had no choice but to close the door again.

Only the paranoid can survive This is profound

I understand, Dad. You can rest assured, your son is also a person of commitment. After all, I graduated from a prestigious university, not someone who is just muddling through in society. I won't bring shame to you.

It is cold at great heights

What are your goals for the future? Mo Shui is at a loss for words

Alas, such a good software, yet it has been assigned such a price by itself, not out of self-righteousness, but out of helplessness

Haha, Dad, you can rest assured, your son is doing well out here. Is there anything the family is lacking? I will send you some money later.

Having realized that it had been a long time since he last called home to check in, Mo Shui immediately took out his phone

"And the illustrated books, well, at this moment there are indeed many people. However, please take your time, take your time. Safety first"

Mom, it's me, Mo Shui

"Please take your time, sir," Mo Shui said with concern.

It has been several days since I started working, and today happens to be the weekend, which makes Mo Shui very happy. Ever since I set a project for myself, it has been rare to feel relaxed; how many months has it been? I am almost starting to forget myself. After getting off work and exiting the factory gate, I took a taxi home. Passing by a supermarket, I thought there seemed to be little food at home, so Mo Shui decided to get off.

"Young man, you are quite nice, thank you. Master, please go to XX Community." It seems the old lady is indeed in a hurry

In the evening, Mo Shui published his most proud super firewall software on the "Free Software Alliance" website using the ID 0 & 1. The software is available in two versions: a client version priced at 10 yuan and a server version priced at 1000 yuan. The overseas client version is priced at 100 US dollars, while the server version is priced at 10,000 US dollars. Mo Shui's philosophy is to earn money from foreigners.

Log in to the domestic HeK Alliance website, log in to account 0 & 1, enter the advanced member forum, publish the source code of this software, and attach a statement: I hope members can ensure that this source code will not be leaked for six months, as I still need to make a living.

When you stand at the highest point, you begin to feel a sense of loneliness

Not yet, Dad, you don't need to worry about it.

Alright, goodbye Dad

Mo Shui has been feeling very happy these past few days, as the countless sleepless nights have finally yielded the rewards he had imagined from www.hetushu.com. What could compare to such a sense of accomplishment? After Mo Shui pulled out several thousand strands of hair to engage in deep and meticulous reflection and review, he finally reached the conclusion: insufficient evidence, unable to prove.

But what about oneself? Mo Shui pondered his current situation; in this world, there are no servers or firewalls that can hinder his reach anymore

Good, good, good. How are you both at home? Is there anything you need?

Once you start making some money, you think you're something special, don't you? You're not a kid anymore; it's time to save up for your future, you know? Don't expect me to help you out later. You've been out there for quite a while, right? So, have you found someone you like? Will you be able to bring her home for the New Year this year?

On weekends, supermarkets are always bustling with activity. Regardless of whether they are blue-collar, white-collar, or gold-collar workers, most people come to buy some groceries after work. The expressions on their faces clearly indicate whether they are in a hurry or taking their time. Indeed, life goes on, and people must live. As for online shopping, one cannot possibly buy everything online, can one? A pound of cabbage, two taels of ginger—how is that feasible? Of course, it is not feasible. Which foolish company could accomplish that?

Hello, may I ask who you are looking for? The call connected, and this is Mom's voice; Mo Shui recognized it immediately.

When paying, he realized that there was not much money left in his wallet. "It seems I need to withdraw some cash," Mo Shui noticed an ATM machine at the entrance of the supermarket and made a decision.

It seems that operating in the shadows, both domestically and internationally, is truly challenging. With the launch of our firewall, I wonder how many individuals in the underworld will grit their teeth in frustration. However, this is also beneficial, as it gives them a target, thereby motivating them to research various vulnerabilities and malware.

I am not worried, so who will be? You, young man, should not speak irresponsibly everywhere. Although the current social atmosphere is not good, you are still your father's son. Do not tarnish my reputation, do you understand!

However, this also offended those involved in the underworld, causing them to lose their composure. What a sin, what a sin. Thinking about it, I feel somewhat sorry for those 'black' individuals. Forget it, let’s give them a way to survive, as Mo Shui thought.

Alas, it is unbearable; several family members are waiting for the dishes to be cooked. It is currently rush hour, and it is difficult to hail a taxi

Alright, take care of yourself out there. Long-distance calls are quite expensive, so I won't chat with you anymore

The pricing of domestic software by the "Free Software Alliance" is generally not high, which makes Mo Shui feel quite displeased. Just think about it: the software created by authors through hard work is sold at such low prices; who can feel comfortable with that? No wonder the level of software production in the country has always lagged behind that of foreign countries. The legitimate earnings of the authors are not protected, so who has the motivation to conduct research? Look at foreign software; which one is not priced exorbitantly? Take the most common operating system, for instance, which costs around a thousand dollars. As for Linux, although it is said to be open-source, how many domestic versions are actually usable?

Take the most common operating system, for instance, which costs around a thousand dollars. As for Linux, although it is said to be open-source, how many domestic versions are actually usable? The usable ones are mostly those few foreign companies that have entered the market, and their prices are not cheap either. How can domestic consumption keep up with this? No wonder piracy persists despite repeated crackdowns. It is a situation that cannot be avoided.

Two boxes, two discs inscribed with "Electronic Space" and "Electronic GPS Positioning" patches, serve as tangible evidence of Mo Shui standing at the pinnacle of the hacker domain
