Episode 231 Hacking of Iranian Nuclear Facility
Dojun asked with shaking eyes.
“again… Say it again. “What is his name?”
Snowden answered.
“Eric.”
The name Eric was actually a common name. However, the moment Dojun heard the name Eric, the first thing that came to mind was ‘Eric Ryan’, which he saw in ‘Lost Memories’.
“By any chance, do you know that Eric’s last name?”
“castle?”
Snowden tilted his head and answered Dojun’s urgent question.
“well… I don’t really remember the last name. I think she heard… … . “What was it?”
“Perhaps. ‘Eric Ryan’, isn’t this his name?”
Snowden closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head.
“Maybe it was like that, maybe it wasn’t, but honestly, I don’t remember.”
“So, can you tell me what it looks like?”
Dojun had seen ‘Eric Ryan’ in his lost memories.
‘He looked white and a bit thin.’
“no. I’ve never seen it in person. “We only talked via email and phone.”
Dojun looked disappointed.
“I can’t help it. “If you remember the last name later, please let me know.”
“Of course. “I have your contact information, so I’ll ask you next time I contact you.”
Dojun’s eyes lit up when he heard that he knew the contact information.
“You know my contact information?”
“uh. But the number changes often. “If I call now, it might not work.”
Dojun got goosebumps. This was because it was the same as Wilson.
“Snowden, please.”
Snowden asked Do-jun’s earnest look.
“But why are you looking for a man named Eric Ryan?”
“I have something to ask you when we meet.”
Dojun answered roughly and asked another question. Even if I asked more questions, there was no answer. And there was more to check.
“By the way, Snowden, was there anything strange about the source you received?”
Dojun recalled the source of the hacking program used by ‘Hajime’ last time.
‘The defense program was similar to the code Annie wrote, and the hacking program was similar to the code I wrote.’
Snowden thought about Dojun’s words for a moment and then answered.
“strange thing? Well, except that the standard is very high… … .”
“You mean there wasn’t anything like you made it up or anything like that?”
“uh? how did you know?”
Dojun got up from his chair without realizing it.
“really? “There was one?”
“I’m not sure… … . Hmm, what should I say?”
“Show me the source.”
Snowden tried to move his arm at Dojun’s words. But his body was tied up and he couldn’t move.
Dojun stood up and released Snowden.
“now… “Do you trust me?”
Dojun shrugged his shoulders and said.
“what… “To some extent.”
“Well, with your abilities, you can always overpower me.”
Although Snowden was reluctant, he did not let down his guard against Do-jun.
Snowden went to his laptop and opened Visual Studio.
“This is the sauce Eric gave me, but it’s a little strange.”
“What’s strange?”
“It’s definitely not the sauce I salted, but it feels familiar.”
Dojun’s eyes lit up. Because Annie said something similar.
“What specifically are you familiar with?”
“Do you see this part, this comment?”
“uh.”
“This tin style is our team’s style. Of course, I can’t say for sure because there are people who use it similarly, but it feels like I made it.”
Annie was confident that she alone had a way of writing code, but Snowden was ambiguous.
‘This is a Snowden-style coding convention.’
After Dojun participated in the project, he had the opportunity to see some of the code written by the NSA.
They all followed one coding convention, which was very similar to the source code I currently have on my laptop.
“It is at least likely to be code created by the NSA, right?”
Snowden nodded at Dojun’s words.
“That’s why I’m convinced of Eric’s words. The NSA already has a hacking program for hacking Iranian nuclear facilities. “The current collaboration with Israel is fake.”
Dojun nodded.
‘I’m sure I believed that too. But that’s absolutely not true.’
Dojun knew about this operation to some extent through his past life.
‘There is no way the NSA has already created the hacking source.’
The money and manpower moving here were too large for that to happen. The U.S. Secretary of Defense and the CIA came to Korea in person to bring him back.
If it were true, there was no way they would move. Moreover, success compensation was America’s security system.
‘You’re giving me such a huge benefit just to use this trick?’
Dojun shook his head.
‘In the end, this is a sauce that shouldn’t exist. Just like the sauce I made in my past life.’
Dojun thought about the person who gave him this sauce.
‘Wilson and Eric, who on earth gave you this sauce?’
It might have been a coincidence once, but it couldn’t have been a coincidence twice.
‘no way? ‘Are there regressors like me?’
Luckily I had someone to ask about this.
Do-Jun pretended to chat and wrote a text message with his cell phone.
[Morning Star, is there anyone else who returned besides me?]
A message appeared in front of me.
Dojun’s eyes wavered at the answer that was so decisive.
[Why are you so sure?]
Dojun sighed heavily and asked again.
[Then what is this sauce? This is an impossible source.]
Dojun came to his senses at Saetbyeol’s words.
‘that’s right!’
Dojun immediately checked the date. It was already early July. I had a chance to ask Saetbyul a question.
Dojun tried to ask Saetbyeol right away, but stopped.
‘But what questions should I ask? Should I ask where this sauce comes from?’
The source was already clear. Snowden’s source was a person named ‘Eric’, and Hajime’s source was a person named ‘Wilson’.
‘Then should we find Wilson or Eric? ‘Who are you looking for?’
Dojun thought about it for a while and decided that he needed to find ‘Wilson’. Because Eric was now in contact with Snowden.
Dojun wrote on his smartphone.
[Tell me how to find Wilson.]
The moment Dojun wrote, Saetbyeol responded right away.
I used an honorific that Saetbyeol did not normally use. This meant that the system responded.
‘In the end, it turned out to be a hacking of Iranian nuclear facilities.’
Dojun became anxious. He wanted to hack Iranian nuclear facilities as soon as possible and find ‘Wilson’.
Fortunately, the method was right in front of us.
“Snowden.”
“why?”
“Let’s use this sauce.”
* * *
Wilson reached out and massaged the back of his neck.
‘I finally finished it.’
It took several weeks to complete a security program to protect nuclear facilities from American hacking attacks.
‘I’ve finished all the tests. Now all we have to do is send it to Iranian intelligence.’
Wilson sent the final program of the ‘Security System’ along with a manual to Iranian intelligence.
The reply came a few hours later. The email stated that the application to Iran’s nuclear facilities had been completed and that $10 million would be sent to Wilson upon completion of nuclear weapons production.
‘it’s okay!’
Ten million dollars was enough money to live comfortably for the rest of my life without doing any work.
‘But I don’t plan on living like that. I will use that money to create my own organization.’
The more Wilson did this, the more greedy he became.
‘The whole world is a bonanza. There are countless people who want to hack.’
Politicians wanted to know the critical weaknesses of their political opponents, and companies wanted internal technologies from rival companies.
It was all Wilson could provide.
In addition, numerous people wanted to obtain information through hacking.
‘But Eric is too cautious and conservative.’
Eric didn’t want to take on too much work. Moreover, he kept his organization completely hidden.
‘They say that the more exposure you have to the outside, the more dangerous it is, but if you think the other way around, you could be missing out on countless opportunities.’
Even if they wanted to make a request, many people were unable to do so because they could not find an organization.
So, for several years now, Wilson has been creating his own organization.
‘Just do a little more! Then you can escape Eric.’
Wilson planned to absorb all of Eric’s organizations. He was Wilson, who had already seen the effects and had absorbed many of them.
‘The most important thing in getting people on my side is money.’
So Wilson needed a lot of money.
‘Now that day is not far away.’
Wilson smiled as he thought about the day he took control of the organization.
But that was then. An email came to Wilson.
‘Zhang Linfeng?’
Zhang Linfeng was the most important person to Wilson in recent years. Wilson immediately checked the email.
‘what is this sound? Cut off contact with Eric right away?’
Even if we break off our relationship someday, not now.
‘By the way, how does Zhang Linfeng know Eric?’
Even the members of the organization were unaware of Eric’s existence. Only middle managers knew about Eric.
‘Isn’t this information that is difficult for even the Chinese government to know? Are there spies among middle managers? Or is there an intelligence community that surpasses us? ‘Who on earth is behind Zhang Linfeng?’
Wilson, who became anxious, sent an email asking ‘why this should be done.’ The answer came an hour later.
[Otherwise, you will die.]
[You are a person who should never die.]

Dojun and Snowden decided to upload Snowden’s source code every two days.
But before that, there was something Dojun needed to know.
“Snowden, I have something to ask you.”
Snowden, who had been modifying the source code according to the newly created coding convention with Dojun, turned his head and said.
“What?”
“Did Eric just give you this sauce? Without any conditions? Did he give you money by any chance?”
In the case of Hajime, he paid money to purchase it from Wilson. Dojun thought that Snowden also gave something in return.
Snowden asked, taking his hands off the keyboard.
“Does that matter?”
“It’s important. This is the sauce they gave me. No matter how much we review, we don’t know what they’ll do. “Maybe they passed this source on to Iran.”
Snowden thought for a moment and then answered.
“That won’t happen.”
“why?”
“What Eric asked me for wasn’t money.”
“It’s not money? “Then what is it?”
“If… contract.”
Dojun did not understand and tilted his head.
“What side contract?”
“I don’t know. “I told them that there was a contract with the Iranian intelligence agency related to protecting Iran’s nuclear facilities, so I brought them all.”
Dojun looked surprised.
“Surely, the Iranian intelligence service knows about this hacking?”
“It’s about protecting nuclear facilities, so I don’t know if it’s hacking. Maybe so, maybe not. But can defense prevent this hacking? So Eric must have sent the source.”
Clearly, the level of hacking sources was very high. But Dojun was not reassured.
“Snowden, are you trying to hack Iranian intelligence like this?”
“If this hacking is successful, Iran will fall into chaos. A lot of people must be out of their minds. “I’m going to take advantage of that moment and hack the intelligence department.”
Dojun nodded. He seemed to have a high chance of success.
‘But something feels uncomfortable.’
Dojun pondered and spoke to Snowden.
“Snowden. Instead of that, how about this?”
* * *
The source code posted by Snowden and Dojun caused a huge stir.
– no. How did you do all this in three days? Are there really aliens in the NSA’s basement?
The Israeli side was surprised and asked. It wasn’t just Israel. Even within the NSA, everyone looked surprised.
Director Keith clicked his tongue as he looked at the uploaded source code.
“Yesterday I was surprised by Dojun, but today Snowden surprised me.”
Dojun smiled and answered.
“Then shall we take it slow?”
“haha. “There’s no need to do that.”
Director Keith laughed out loud as if he was happy.
‘It has to be that way. Israel hasn’t yet completed all the parts they decided to make, but we have finished them all.’
Director Keith said while looking at Dojun.
“Even if it’s Snowden. Dojun, are you sure you don’t want to come to the NSA? “Why not use these skills for world peace?”
Dojun, who knew about the true identity of the NSA, cursed inside, but held it in.
“As you know, I am very busy. Even now, I am receiving threatening emails telling me to come back quickly or I will resign. Plus, Larry Page and Jeff are upset when they find out I’m in America.”
Director Keith shook his head.
“Ha, the world is unfair. “One person has too many talents.”
Dojun said, putting his arm around Snowden’s shoulder.
“Don’t you already have Snowden? When it comes to hacking, he is more capable than me. Besides, doesn’t Snowden have a high sense of justice?”
“Well, that’s right. Don’t worry. “Once this project is over, I will repay Snowden greatly.”
Dojun looked at Snowden. Fortunately, Snowden was managing his expression.
‘Please, I need to live this life differently from my previous life.’
Dojun hoped Snowden would live peacefully in this life. But he couldn’t think of how to do that.
Thanks to Dojun and Snowden’s activities, the project gained more enthusiasm.
In particular, Israel felt humiliated and worked harder. Thanks to this, the first prototype hacking program was completed in mid-July.
After completing testing for a week, the final version was finally completed. And D-DAY dawned.
“Everyone gather in the conference room.”
When D-Day dawned, Director Keith called everyone over and spoke.
“I will explain the outline of this operation that I have not told everyone about.”
Dojun’s eyes lit up.
‘Are we finally going to find out?’
Dojun did his best to create a hacking program, but he did not know exactly what data would be manipulated through hacking.
‘I know how to hack Siemens products, but they didn’t tell me how to use it to blow up a nuclear facility.’
It was truly the best kept secret of this project. But now the secret was revealed.
In a conference room with the lights off, the projector turned on and a person’s face appeared on the screen.
“The person we are targeting is Sebastian, a Russian engineer.”
‘russia?’
When Dojun was puzzled, Director Keith continued his explanation.
“The target nuclear power plant is the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant. “This nuclear power plant is being built with support from Russia and technology from the German company Siemens.”
Only then did Dojun learn the secret of hacking the nuclear facility.
‘I wondered why they were targeting the weaknesses of Siemen’s products, but I realized that they were built with Siemen’s technology in the first place. Besides, the Russians are providing technical support.’
There was no way that people who came to a country other than their own to provide technical support would have a thorough sense of security.
“We control the centrifuge rotation speed through hacking. Change the default number of revolutions per second to the maximum number of 10,000.”
At that moment, Dojun’s eyes widened.
‘You’re crazy. There was a way like this too!’
Hacking mainly destroys software, not hardware.
But now Dojun had learned how to completely destroy the hardware by manipulating the software.
Goosebumps appeared all over Dojun’s body.
‘This is why the operation was successful in my previous life.’
Director Keith, who finished explaining the operation, turned on the lights in the conference room and said.
“You cannot leave here until the operation is over.”
Everyone nodded with a stern expression.
“May God bless us.”
With those words, Director Keith contacted the head of Israel’s Mossad.
“Let’s execute the operation.”
