Chapter 538 Master? Master? God level?

In the office of the cracking group.

Many people gathered in front of a computer and watched Lin Hong crack "Invincible Heroes".

These people are basically people with a certain level of cracking.

After hearing the news, they whispered.

"What kind of immortal is this? Crack the hero invincible? Is it true or not?

"It seems that the boss brought it here. I haven't seen it before."

"Is he a master?"

"Is there a master in China? Let's go. Don't look at it. There's nothing to see. It's just for fun.

"Don't guess, just take a look. The person brought by the boss should have two brushes.

"Invincible Hero" is an extremely difficult bone. In everyone's opinion, if you want to deal with it, you may need at least a master level. The previous responses of other cracking organizations also prove this point.

Is this young man a cracking master?

If it's true, why haven't they heard of it? Therefore, most people just have an attitude towards watching the crack this time.

The cracking work is really boring. It's also good to have such a seasoning to relax.

In the cracking circle, there is a relatively vague division of technical level, which can be roughly divided into four levels, from low to high, namely "Rookie", "Introduction", "Master" and "Master".

The rookie level is the lowest level, which means that you have just come into contact with cracking technology and understand some of the most basic concepts, but you will not be flexible. You can only learn to crack step by step according to the cracking tutorial.

Of course, if you want to subdivide, there should be another level under the rookie, that is, "a lay" that is, I don't know the basic concept of cracking at all. I don't know what the "shell" is, what is the "breakpoint", what the "PE" file format is... and so on.

After studying hard, the rookie can accumulate practice step by step according to the primary tutorial written by masters or masters. Slowly, they can enter the "introduction" stage.

At this stage, they have begun to crack some simple software independently and experience the fun of cracking.

For example, violent cracking of the direct use of tool software, modifying some simple registration process condition judgment statements, modifying time limits and some simple functional restrictions, etc.

At the entry level, they have a certain level of skills in assembly language. They can understand the small pieces of assembly code that appear when tracking, and they are familiar with common data structures.

At the entry level, I have mastered most of the basic concepts and know how to use some common auxiliary cracking tools proficiently. If you have time and perseverance, you can successfully become a cracking master if you continue to learn and enrich yourself.

The basic skills of masters are generally very solid, and they can smoothly solve the practical problems they encounter in the process of using computers, such as modifying and localizing more complex software, writing the corresponding registration machine according to the software's registration code algorithm encryption method, and even directly on the software. Add some new functions such as printing, exporting data, etc.

To become a master, mastery of assembly language is a must.

They can not only read large pieces of assembly code, but also write their own programs that others implement in high-level languages, and they can implement them in assembly language with a certain complexity.

In the master stage, it has basically begun to subdivide the field according to interests. For example, some focus on application software, while others focus on software programming at the operating system level, and some have a unique understanding of algorithms.

Basically, in this company, these people present are between "entry" and "masters". Most of them are under "masters", and only a few backbones can be called masters and receive high salaries.

Above the "master", it is the "master".

Becoming a "master" takes a lot of time, amazing perseverance and continuous learning, and to become a "master", it takes talent on this basis.

The cracking master, like a master in martial arts, has opened up the eight strange meridians, integrated all skills, and has his own unique understanding in a certain field.

No matter in which field, masters are extremely rare.

These people are all at the top of the pyramid in a certain field, and their pursuit is completely different from that of ordinary people.

Although 0VEN and other members of the "Tibetan Sutra Pavilion" are quite skilled, they are not masters in the eyes of everyone. At most, they are the best among the masters.

ESSI, the leader of the CORE organization, should be counted as one. They crack the software completely out of the ultimate pursuit of technology. If they don't do it, they will do it. If they do it, they will definitely amaze the industry and lead the trend.

Is the master the highest level?

It's hard for everyone to say.

Perhaps, the master was the highest level in the past, but since something came out five years ago, this statement has been shaken.

I don't know who first proposed it. There is a saying in the industry that above the master level, there is another level - "God level" 1 So far, except for those scientists who are committed to research in research institutions, in the hearts of everyone, only one person may reach this level, which is the bit messenger. The mysterious author.

Strictly speaking, this level cannot be regarded as unique to the cracking industry, but in the field of cryptography, but cracking itself is a process of decryption. The study of cracking is also the study of encryption and confidentiality, and the two can be said to coincide. Generally speaking, crackers refer exclusively to folk researchers, while cryptographers are more orthodox.

The software Bit messenger is not only sought after and respected by hackers, but also attracted the attention and research of many orthodox cryptographers. Many people believe that the author of Bit messenger is not only a computer hacker, but also a cryptographer. Before that, no one could combine the two so reasonably to create such a fascinating product.

This is worthy of being a professional cracking place. There are all kinds of cracking auxiliary tools, which are used for shelling, tracking and debugging, and reading memory data structures...

Many tools, even Lin Hong has not seen before, are obviously only spread in a small range and used secretly.

Lin Hong started the package directly in a tracking software, and then began to track and study the whole running process of the game step by step.

This process is quite boring. Tracking and debugging is to monitor every data change in the CPU or memory, and an extremely simple program may directly run hundreds of loops in less than a second. It may take several hours to track it out.

Not to mention a complex program like Invincible Heroes.

In this way, after watching for about an hour, some people dispersed one after another. They did not see that Lin Hong used any eye-catching technology or method, which was almost the same as their usual cracking steps, but seemed to be more proficient than them.

However, after watching it for a long time, many people looked at Lin Hong with new eyes. After all, the technical literacy shown by Lin Hong is better than that of most of the people present. Obviously, he has at least reached the level of a master.

After about half an hour, Lin Hong stood up and returned to the original office with Guang Yongyuan.

When everyone saw this situation, they couldn't help sighing, because they found that the other party had not been able to crack it.

In the office, Guang Yongyuan gave Lin Hong a thumbs up and said, "Your technology is as solid as your theory. I'm not as good as you."

He was afraid that Lin Hong would be hit by any blow because of this. He comforted him, "It doesn't matter if he can't crack it. It's a big deal. We won't do this batch of goods."

Unexpectedly, Lin Hong shook his head, with a smile on his face, and said, "Brother, I already have some clues. There should be no big problem in cracking it."

"Oh?" Guang Yongyuan looked at Lin Hong in surprise when he heard the words.

He didn't expect that Lin Hong hadn't given up and said this.

If it had been before, he would have thought that Lin Hong was a little bragging, but after seeing the other party's technology, he had to seriously think about his words. After all, Lin Hong has at least reached the level of master.

"There are too many people outside, which has a little impact on my thinking." Lin Hong explained, "In addition, I don't want this matter to spread. After all, I am also the person in charge of a software company, and it's not good to spread it. Please help me prepare a separate room. I'll take care of it in half an hour!"

As soon as Guang Yongyuan heard this, he immediately understood Lin Hong's words.

At the same time, he was also suppressed by the self-confidence spread by Lin Hong.

Half an hour?

His rational thinking tells him that it is obviously impossible.

But for some reason, he had an intuition in his mind that the young man in front of him must be able to do this.

Anyway, he was still very happy to hear Lin Hong's words. He nodded repeatedly, regarded his office as his workplace, and then asked someone to move a machine with the best configuration from outside.

In the office, there are only Guang Yongyuan and Lin Hong.

Lin Hong reopened the hero's invincible client and began to shell, breakpoint, tracking and debugging...

This time, there was no one else around, and he operated it again.

No longer step by step as before, but directly break points in some key places. It used to take ten steps, but now it can be done in one simple step. A process that can confuse others for hours, in his hands. With just a few simple steps, you can directly find the key data, which is accurate and direct, without any meaningless action.

Guang Yongyuan was stunned. His own level was also a master level. At the beginning, he could keep up with Lin Hong's pace. Later, he became completely blind. He couldn't figure out why Lin Hong did that at all. However, when he was wondering, a process often jumped out, but he could see that Lin Hong The practice is obviously correct.
