Chapter 234 Surfaced

After the post about the abuse of prisoners by the American army in the Gulf War was sent, many people asked the administrator "Mourier Operator" of "Bite messenger House" to delete this post immediately, but for some reason, the administrator seemed to turn a despite to these requirements, and even put this post to the top of bbs. At the top, basically all visitors who enter the bbs can see it.

As soon as this post appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of all hackers. They began to flock to the ftp provided in the post, downloaded all the evidence pictures locally as soon as possible, and then studied them in detail.

Soon, all kinds of feedback immediately appeared in the "bit messenger home". Many hackers pointed out that these scanned copies have a great [true] reality, and no trace of forgery has been found so far.

That is to say, the American army did have such a prisoner abuse in the Gulf War!

After the news was confirmed, it immediately detonated the whole underground hacking world.

Hackers are a group of rebellious people who oppose authority and despise government laws. Seeing this news, they can't wait to immediately issue a notice to the whole world.

As a result, some hackers with journalist friends began to print out the information they obtained and send it to their journalist friends.

And Lin Hong didn't know this at the beginning. He learned the news from Arthur.

When he saw this post, he immediately understood that the other party must have used the proxy function of the bit messenger to publish this post. He did not expect that such a thing immediately appeared as soon as the second version was released.

There is no doubt that if this matter is true, this post will definitely cause a series of chain reactions.

At this moment, he had to be secretly glad that he did not rush to release the bit messenger, but chose to publish anonymously.

Otherwise, he will definitely be in trouble.

Because it can be expected that more and more similar things will happen in the future. Although these things may always happen, even if there is no bit messenger, they will appear in front of everyone in other ways. However, because of the emergence of the bit messenger, it has given such a catalytic and promoting role, so that everyone has a safer way to release things before publishing.

Edgar Hoover Building, fbi headquarters in Washington.

Moses, the Minister of Cybercrime, is in the office of the director, suffering from the uncontrollable anger of his immediate superior Thompson.

On the desk behind them, there is a fully printed version of the leaked file of the prison abuse incident. Obviously, they have learned what happened on the Internet.

"Rice buckets, they are all rice buckets!!" Thompson roared. He stood in front of Moses, almost cursing at Moses' nose, and the saliva sprayed with the airflow.

"The Pentagon and the White House have called several times to ask what's going on with this matter. What do you think I can tell them?"

Moses stood there motionless. He knew that this time his usually gentle boss was completely angry.

"I will limit you to thoroughly investigate this matter within ten hours. Who is behind the scenes and who is leaking the secret!"

Thompson took a deep breath of the cigar in his hand and said slowly, "Moses, I hope you can understand the importance of this matter. Once this matter continues to spread, it will greatly impress the image of the United States in the world and shame the United States!"

"I understand." Moses finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, we will investigate immediately and take everything into our hands!"

......

An hour later, FBI and the SWat SWat raided an experimental building of the Department of Computer Engineering and Science of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and arrested Richard Stallman, founder of the Software Foundation, Gerard Sussman, a professor of the Department of Computer Science, and Harvey Ander, a student volunteer. Five people, including Sen.

At the same time, they also removed a lot of equipment from the laboratory, including two computer servers.

After this incident, it immediately caused a great sensation inside the mit.

mit executives immediately negotiated with the person in charge of fbi, asking the other party to explain the reason for the arrest of these people, and asking the other party to release the arrested person immediately. As a result, they were told that these people were suspected of engaging in foreign espionage, and the FBI had the right to arrest and vet them directly. These people will only be released after the suspicion is eliminated.

Soon, the news also spread in the underground network hacker world at a very fast speed, because the bbs of the "bit messenger house" could not be accessed at the moment of the arrest operation was in progress. When it came to this matter, someone broke the news that Richard Stallman, the father of the software, was the "mage operator" He and several members of the Software Foundation are in the volunteer maintainer "Bite messenger home".

The fbi's action against them this time was precisely because the "prison abuse incident" stabbed the nerves of some people in the Pentagon.

After this news was released, it immediately aroused everyone's common hatred.

For a moment, everyone began to support Richard and others on the Internet. Everyone contacted on Bitcom and planned to call on everyone to sit in front of the Pentagon to petition and ask the government to release the "mage operator" to release the volunteers.

A bbs called "release [from] by the messenger" was quickly established. This time, considering security issues, the server was placed abroad. Under the leadership of some enthusiastic people, everyone quickly decided that if the government still did not release the relevant personnel within three days, they would plan to go to five in batches. Petition for a sit-and-de petition at the Corner House and the White House.

fbi headquarters, Moses looked at the survey information in his hand with a headache. He had not slept all night and looked very tired.

"Why didn't you pay attention early?" Moses frowned and asked, "The appearance of this bit messenger will bring great difficulty to our information monitoring!"

Although he does not know the technology, he also understood the investigation report for the bit messenger provided by his subordinates. The report pointed out that the bit messenger has been completely spread, and according to the principle and architecture of this software, it is impossible to block and control it at all.

Standing in front of him was Claire, the leader of the anti-hacking team and a computer security expert. He used to be the main programmer of the internal security system of the Ministry of Defense. Later, he advocated a comprehensive upgrade of the internal network of the Ministry of Defense. As a result, he inadvertently offended the interests of some people, Later, when Moses set up the Cybercrime Department, he followed the advice of industry insiders and dug up Claire as the leader of the department's anti-hacking team, specializing in combating cybercrime activities.

"The author of this software did not appear, but invaded the software released by major bbs. By the time we realized the power of this software, it was too late. The only way to eliminate this software is to catch the author of this software, but we have not found any useful clues so far. According to our analysis, Richard Stallman is the most suspected..."

"Let them have a good review. In addition, hurry up and investigate the internal traitors. These documents are confidential documents. There are not many people who have access to these documents. I think it is easy to check. Damn, what on earth do these people think!!"

Moses gritted his teeth when he thought of the leakers who scanned the secret files of the copier.

......

After a while, the door of the office was knocked.

Moses' assistant secretary, sexy and charming Caroline came in with a cat step.

"Minister, Claire's report outside said that there is a new situation." After saying that, Caroline glanced at Claire with a charming look, and her eyes were hot.

"New situation? Let him in."

"Okay."

Caroline walked out with the cat again.

Then, a young man with red hair came in. He first greeted Moses respectfully, and then reported, "Group leader, the hackers set up a bbs again, asking us to release Richard and others, and they decided that they would take action within three days if we didn't say anything. Call on everyone to go to the Pentagon and the White House to petition..."

"Damn it!"

Before the red-haired young man finished speaking, Moses suddenly blew up as if he had been trampled on his tail.

Obviously, the way of going to the Pentagon and the White House petition made him feel very tricky. For him, the sooner this matter is solved, the better. Try to minimize the impact to complete the task successfully. If they make such a fusss, his position of minister should not sit down.

"Put the irrelevant people alone and calm their mood first." After thinking about it, Moses finally made a decision, "As for Richard, you should hurry up and review it. If there is no problem, let it go and monitor it closely."

Two days later, Lin Hong was relieved to see the news of Richard's release on TV.

After this incident, he has been closely following the progress of the whole matter.

Several TV stations and newspapers in the United States reported on the incident. In the end, the Pentagon issued a statement saying that the incident was the work of individual soldiers. In fact, internal punishments had been imposed on the soldiers concerned, and some internal documents were shown to reporters. Soldiers who had participated in the abuse of prisoners or were expelled from the army. Or sent to a military court for sentencing.

As for the two diplomatic officials in Pakistan, it is a complete misunderstanding. The U.S. Foreign Minister has long had a written with the Pakistani official about the whole matter... Yunyun.

The leaker of these documents, first-class intelligence analyst Brad, was also arrested. He was accused of leaking confidential information and will be sent to a military court.

This matter came to an end with Richard's release from prison.

When Richard appeared in front of the camera, although he looked a little tired, his spirit was very high. In the face of the reporter's microphone, he ignored the reporter's questions at all, but had been promoting his software concept to everyone.

"The [self] of the software is the relationship of human beings's [self]!" He roared at the microphone.

This prisoner abuse incident has completely surfaced the software of Bit messenger, which is no longer limited to the hacker circle.

In addition, Richard also officially appeared on the stage of political [luck], running around for [words] [from], defending [from] software, and actively fighting against the expansion of software patents and copyright laws.
