Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 411 Death! die! die!
“Chairman Cai said that American hackers suggested using a DDoS attack.” Mi Jing looked at Xue Man, whose anger had just subsided.

"Are you kidding me? That would be like losing eight hundred enemies while losing a thousand of your own!" Xue Man said. "This is an internet cafe, not a website. At most, a DDoS attack would just cause them to lag. It can't possibly crash and roll back your data."

Mi Jing smiled helplessly and said to Cai Rou, "Chairman Cai, Chairman Xue doesn't agree with this plan. You should try contacting the hacker organization over there again."

“The hackers I’ve hired all say that Momo Internet Cafe’s system is self-contained and cannot be hacked in a short time,” Cai Rou said. “We can’t just wait for them to hack in, can we?”

This time, Mi Jing turned on speakerphone, so Xue Man could hear it clearly.

Xue Man stood up and said, "Cai Rou, Momo Internet Cafe has nearly 2000 branches. Do you know how much a DDoS attack costs per day? It's astronomical! Forget about this idea. Just find a master hacker in the US. I don't believe we can't find a hacker who can take down Momo Internet Cafe!"

"Okay, I'll go look again." Cai Rou sighed and hung up the phone.

Seeing Xue Man's face darken again, Mi Jing said with a charming smile, "Chairman Xue, are you getting angry again?"

"No, no." Xue Man's cheeks twitched in fright, and she immediately said, "By the way, has the membership system issue been resolved?"

"We're still trying to restore it," Mi Jing sighed and said. "If we can't restore it, we'll have to issue a refund based on the recharge records."

"A refund?" Xue Man felt a pang of pain in his heart. That was a recharge of over 100 million yuan. If he had to get a refund, it would be a real financial blow.

Mi Jing said, "Chairman Xue, shouldn't we avoid entering Handong Province?"

Xue Man was also considering this issue. When he heard Mi Jing ask this question, Xue Man said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to think about such things. Let's think about how to solve the current crisis first."

It's only been less than two months since it opened. It came in with a bang and left in a bang. The costs of this back-and-forth are too high.

An investment of 500 million yuan would result in a loss of at least 200 million yuan if the investment were withdrawn.

Membership refunds, 1600 broadband lines, shop rent, shop renovation costs, employee salaries...

The only solution now is to technically defeat Momo Group and then establish a clear division between the two sides, with neither side engaging in cyberattacks against the other.

Therefore, Xue Man was willing to spend money to subdue Momo Group. After all, he could accept 20 million or 50 million more than 200 million.

As the two were chatting, Mi Jing's phone rang again.

This was a mobile phone number that Mi Jing hadn't saved. When she answered the call, she heard an excited voice on the other end: "Ms. Mi, great news! All ten Momo Internet cafes that our team counted have lost internet access."

"What did you say?" Mi Jing was startled and pressed for an answer: "Which internet cafes are you in charge of?"

“Those ten companies in Yantai City,” the other party replied.

Which ten companies are in Yantai City?

The shock in Mi Jing's eyes deepened, and after a long while, she asked, "Have you checked?"

“We’ve already checked, otherwise we wouldn’t dare bother you at this time,” the man said. “All ten Momo Internet cafes have shut down. The customers are still making a fuss. The network cables are all intact, but the computers can’t connect to the internet.”

"Are all ten internet cafes like this?" Mi Jing asked.

"Yes, those ten internet cafes have hardly any customers left, and the managers are refunding them."

"Okay, you did a great job. You are Wang Kai, the person in charge of Yantai City, right?" Mi Jing carefully recalled the name.

"Yes, I am Wang Kai," the man said with a forced smile.

"You continue to observe the situation, I will report to Chairman Xue immediately." Mi Jing hung up the phone and looked at Xue Man, who also looked excited, and said, "Chairman Xue, all ten internet cafes in Yantai City have been shut down."

"Are they the ten that Hero Red Leaf was responsible for attacking?" Xue Man asked.

“Yes, this Master Hongye is really something,” Mi Jing said. “No wonder he dared to ask for 2000 million.”

"How many people in the whole country dare to call themselves heroes?" Xue Man said excitedly. "Contact Hero Hongye right away, tell him our demands, and tell him that as long as he can shut down all the Momo Internet cafes, I will transfer the money to him immediately."

"Okay," Mi Jing said.

The breakthrough of the Red Leaf Swordsman gave Xue Man and Mi Jing hope.

sleepless nights.

The next morning, Momo Internet Cafe suddenly issued a notice announcing that it would be undergoing temporary maintenance for two hours, lasting until 10 a.m.

Upon seeing the maintenance notice, Xue Man and Mi Jing both burst into laughter.

What maintenance?
Isn't this a shutdown caused by attacks?
Live it!

Xue Man said to Mi Jing, "Ask Master Hongye what payment methods he accepts, and make the payment as soon as possible. Remember, don't offend him."

“I understand.” Mi Jing nodded.

Hackers are called hackers because they walk in the dark.

The difference between Red Leaf Hero and Lion is that one operates in the shadows while the other operates in the open.

Hackers like Lion, who have come out into the open, no longer pose any threat; even a neighborhood committee director could take him down.

But the Red Leaf Hero is different. He is like an internet ghost, wandering in the internet. Even Huaxia Software Group would not dare to provoke such a person easily.

If you want to provoke this kind of person, you need to be able to withstand his anger.

Mi Jing quickly contacted Hongye Daxia and found that the payment method was complicated, requiring the money to be transferred to an overseas account. Fortunately, Xue Man had an account in a Swiss bank, so the money was successfully transferred.

"Chairman Xue, the money has been transferred." After transferring the money, Mi Jing immediately went to Xue Man's office and said, "Master Hongye said that his attack method can only cause Momo Internet Cafe to be down for four or five hours. The technicians at Momo Internet Cafe are very experienced. Four or five hours is enough time for them to block this attack line."

"What? Why didn't he say so sooner?" Xue Manteng jumped up immediately.

Did you spend 2000 million on a five-hour trial card?
Xue Man said, "Tell Master Hongye that I gave him 20 million to shut down all Momo Internet Cafes, not just for a few hours!"

Mi Jing smiled wryly and said, "Chairman Xue, I think your request is unlikely."

"Hmm?" Xue Man looked at Mi Jing with an unfriendly gaze.

Mi Jing said, "Momo Internet Cafe earns hundreds of millions a month. If it only costs 20 million to keep Momo Internet Cafe shut down, don't you think that's outrageous? Master Hongye doesn't need to earn our 20 million at all. He only needs to keep Momo Internet Cafe shut down for three days, and collecting 100 million in protection fees from Momo Internet Cafe shouldn't be a problem, right? In 1997, when Microsoft's source code repository was hacked, the hacker demanded 100 million US dollars."

Xue Man fell silent.

He suddenly realized that Mi Jing's words made some sense.

He felt terribly cheated after spending 20 million to get only a few hours of trial access.

Mi Jing said, "If Master Hongye can shut down Momo Internet Cafe for four or five hours every day, especially during peak hours, that would be enough to deal a heavy blow to Momo Internet Cafe."

“Hmm…” Xue Man nodded and said, “You’ll be in charge of communicating with him. My requirements are simple: make Momo Internet Cafe feel the pain and make them not dare to underestimate us! Ideally, we should get them back to the negotiating table and have a proper discussion about the division of the internet cafe market in Handong Province.”

"Understood," Mi Jing replied, and quickly left Xue Man's office. At 10:00 AM, Momo Internet Cafe opened as scheduled, operating normally without much disruption.

Upon hearing this news, Xue Man was indeed very unhappy.

When it was time for lunch, Mi Jing strode in and said with a warm smile, "Chairman Xue, Master Hongye has provided a solution. He also suggested using a DDoS attack."

"Still using DDoS? Didn't you make it clear to him that we can't afford the cost?" Xue Man said in a deep voice.

Mi Jing laughed and said, "If he does the work, we won't have to spend a single penny."

"Oh?" Xue Man's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Tell me about it."

Mi Jing said, "Master Hongye said he can turn all the computers in our Time and Space Internet Cafe into botnets, which is hundreds of thousands of botnets. Moreover, he can install a virtual machine on each computer, thus doubling the number of botnets. Even if we adopt a one-on-one attack approach, the traffic from hundreds of thousands of botnets is enough to shut down hundreds of thousands of computers in Momo Internet Cafe, and it will be a continuous shutdown. This will cause Momo Internet Cafe to lose more than half of its revenue."

"This is the first time I've heard of such a method," Xue Man said. "Call Lion over and ask him if this is feasible. After all, we've never met the Great Hero Hongye, so it's best to be cautious."

"I'll go call him right now."

Not long after, Lion, looking dejected and frustrated, walked into Xue Man's office. Looking at Lion, who looked like a useless dog, Xue Man sneered inwardly.

The chairman of this Red Hacker Alliance is nothing special.

Xue Man glanced at Mi Jing, and Mi Jing immediately explained Hongye Daxia's plan to Lion.

After listening carefully to Mi Jing's description, Lion said with bright eyes, "This method is really crazy. I wouldn't even dare to think of it if it were me."

"Tell me if this plan is feasible," Xue Man asked.

“It will work,” Lion said. “However, the computers in these internet cafes will also be unusable during the attack, making it a do-or-die tactic.”

Xue Man then asked, "Master Hongye said that our 16 computers can shut down 1000 Momo Internet cafes for 24 hours. Is that possible?"

“Of course it can,” Lion said. “The broadband speed of your internet cafe is so fast that it could shut down 1200 Momo internet cafes.”

“Okay.” Xue Man smiled happily. He then ignored Lion and said to Mi Jing beside him, “President Mi, go and get 50 yuan for Chairman Lion and send a car to take them back.”

“Okay,” Mi Jing replied immediately.

Lion immediately said, "Mr. Xue, I actually know this method too."

Xue Man asked, "Do you know how to double the number of botnets from hundreds of thousands of computers?"

Lion was stunned.

He hadn't really researched this, since his botnets were all found online, and he rarely used his personal computer as a botnet.

Seeing that Lion was stumped, Xue Man was even more disappointed and said, "Chairman Lion, you can go back now. We'll ask you for advice again if we encounter any problems in the future."

With Lion as a comparison, Xue Man no longer had any doubts about the Red Leaf Hero.

After Lion left looking dejected, Xue Man logged into his email and started communicating with Master Hongye.

Since all the Time and Space Internet Cafes in Handong Province have already suspended operations, this method can be considered a way to make use of waste.

Xue Man felt that this method was perfect for the current internet cafe.

Didn't you force us to close down? Fine, you won't have it easy either! Let's fight to the death!

Turning internet cafe computers into botnets wasn't complicated. Master Hongye quickly sent over the botnet program and virtual machine program, instructing them to install these programs on every computer in the Time and Space Internet Cafe.

After obtaining the program, Mi Jing immediately sent it to the heads of internet cafes in various districts and counties of Handong Province.

This process may seem simple, but it is actually very complicated to operate.

Each internet cafe has 200 computers, and each computer needs to be turned on one by one to install the botnet program and virtual machine. After that, the program needs to be manually started.

By the time all the computers were installed, it was already past 5 p.m.

After receiving the message that everything was ready, Mi Jing immediately sent the results to Master Hongye.

Afterwards, she and Xue Man stayed in the office waiting for the next big change at Momo Internet Cafe.

"They actually did it." In Cheng Yi's office, Lin Qingyin exclaimed in surprise, "They didn't even suspect us."

“A drowning person wouldn’t question the strength of the rope,” Cheng Yi laughed. “Let’s open the program and test how many botnets there are.”

They had used this method against Starcom Group's Handong branch before, so they were very familiar with it when they used it again.

Lin Qingyin opened the botnet control backend and checked it, saying, "There are 324400 botnets."

"This Time and Space Internet Cafe really spared no expense, managing to get so many computers in Handong Province." Cheng Yi walked to the computer, and Lin Qingyin immediately got up and gave her seat to Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi looked at the botnet on his computer and laughed even harder.

He turned off the VPN that was hiding his IP address and then opened the website to start searching.

With so many compromised computers, all belonging to the Time and Space Internet Cafe's IP addresses, it would be a waste of all his brain cells if he didn't make good use of them.

Before long, he had collected a lot of websites.

Shengda official website...

Cheng Yi entered Shengda's official website into the control panel and then clicked "attack".

In just a moment, Shengda's official website became unreachable.

After all, there are hundreds of thousands of compromised computers, and the traffic generated in that instant is truly terrifying. In this situation, the only solution is to restart the server, but any unsaved data is essentially lost.

For large internet companies like Shengda, the archiving interval is about 15 minutes. This means that once attacked, user data is essentially rolled back 1 to 15 minutes.

Try the legendary game again.

Cheng Yi collected the IP address of the legendary game and entered it into the control backend.

dead!
After destroying the legendary server, he quickly opened NetEase's official website.

dead!
Tencent's official website?

dead!
Cheng Yi entered all the non-Momo websites one by one, attacking each one as he entered it, as if he had found the feeling of being one of the top ten villains in his past life.

Caught up in the attack, Cheng Yi opened the official website of the Handong Provincial Government Affairs Association.
