Episode 232: A different code from my previous life

The operation has begun. Because of distance, it was decided that all operations would be carried out in Israel.

However, thanks to the speaker informing me of the progress of the operation in Israel, I was able to voice my opinions right away.

Dojun and Jackson Greig Snowden were also sitting in front of the computer waiting in case of an emergency.

“ha. I feel sick. When will the results come out? Children of Israel, isn’t it too late?”

Director Keith responded to Jackson’s words.

“Israel cannot be blamed because the hacking starts only when Russian engineer Sebastian comes home and turns on the PC.”

“Ah, Russians. “Why don’t you come home like this?”

It was then. A voice came from the speaker. Sheran was the company commander.

– Target is going home after work.

No one could even breathe. It was about 30 minutes later that the next voice was heard.

– The target’s computer is turned on. Attempting to hack your PC.

– The target has entered a torrent site. Search for a movie.

As always, torrent sites have been a playground for hackers.

Dojun’s eyes widened as he watched the hacking being carried out by Israel.

‘this… ‘It’s hacking by a national intelligence agency.’

The hacking that Dojun did was static hacking based on skill. The only preparation for hacking was a hacking program.

But country-level hacking was different.

‘I created a torrent site for hacking, found out everything Sebastian likes, from music to movies, and porn, and uploaded the torrent files.’

There is a lot of data posted on torrent sites, and it was Unit 8200 that uploaded all of that data.

He said it took over a month just to prepare this.

That wasn’t all. Israel acted as if it were running a real torrent, from advertisements to events, so that the target could continuously access the torrent site.

It was an operation on a scale that Dojun alone could not even imitate.

Dojun concentrated on observing Israel’s hacking, thinking that he would never have an opportunity like this again.

– Successfully docked the hacked file on the PC.

At that moment, Dojun clenched his fist.

The hacking file that everyone created together over a period of almost a month had been successfully installed.

– Hack files to copy itself into music, movie and document files.

The hacking file created this time was a Trojan horse, a worm, and a virus.

The difference between worms and viruses was clear.

A worm is a program that runs independently, and a virus is a program that lives and reproduces in a specific file.

But now the hacked file had both of these characteristics.

‘I must have installed the anti-virus file, but it’s not working.’

Dojun thought that he had created a really great virus.

Time has passed again. Sebastian watched the entire movie and even downloaded the music.

At this time, there was nothing the programmers, including Dojun, could do. All there was to do was wait.

– Music files are moved to USB.

Company Commander Sheran said around 1 a.m. Iran time.

At that moment, everyone clenched their fists. The most important step was success.

The only way viruses could travel in places where the network was disconnected was through media such as USB.

In other words, the most important thing in this operation was to transfer the virus from the target’s computer to a USB and then to the nuclear facility’s computer through the USB.

At 2 a.m. Iranian time, I heard that Sebastian had fallen asleep.

Director Keith said that he was monitoring with a telescope from afar.

“Come on, the target has stopped moving, let’s take a rest.”

Director Keith told them to go and close their eyes, but no one left.

At 8 o’clock in the morning, Iranian time, I heard Sheran’s voice again.

– The target moved.

Dojun, who had been leaning heavily on a chair and closing his breath, opened his eyes. When Dojun came back after washing his face, he heard Sheran’s voice.

– The target left the house.

Dojun’s mind came to his senses. Now, the biggest watershed moment of this hacking remains.

‘Now, if the USB is plugged into a computer at a nuclear facility, the hacking file will spread, and then all you have to do is change the settings of Siemen’s device!’

Everyone waited for Israel’s report with nervous expressions.

– The target has entered the destination.

– Can no longer be confirmed.

That was it. Since this was inside a nuclear facility, no one, not even Israel, could know.

However, the results were known thanks to Israel planting agents in other Iranian departments.

And an hour later, the report came in. Sheran said in a trembling voice.

– The USB file was successfully copied to the nuclear facility PC.

“and!”

“You’re crazy!”

“It’s a success!”

At that moment, everyone cheered. But Sheran’s words were not over.

– But the hacked file… It is said to have been detected by its own security system.

Everyone was as frozen as stone.

-The operation failed.

* * *

“yes. Do not worry. “The nuclear facility will definitely be completed.”

Azid Hosseini, head of Iran’s intelligence department, was distracted by a call from Iran’s Supreme Rahmar (leader).

Azid politely hung up the phone and relaxed his stern expression.

“it’s okay! Done! ha ha ha. “My gamble paid off!”

When Azid was first contacted by unknown hackers, he thought it was a plot from Israel or the United States.

However, when they revealed the weaknesses of their political opponents and even revealed Israel’s secret information, he began to become confused.

‘At that time, I just wanted to hear the story and not believe it. ‘It was because I couldn’t believe they were attacking a nuclear facility through hacking.’

It was hard for me to believe it, but it was even harder for others to believe it.

‘But this guy asked me to sign a strange contract.’

It was a side contract. He signed a contract with his organization, and on the other hand, he asked them to sign another contract with him.

In addition, he said he would give half of the money he earned from the side contract to himself.

‘That really boosted trust.’

Giving money to oneself did not increase trust. The feeling that Azid would do anything for money gave him confidence.

Afterwards, Azid persuaded people’s opposition and proceeded with this hacking defense operation.

The result was a huge success. A virus had indeed infiltrated, and the newly introduced security system caught it.

‘I will never forget this moment. It was truly exhilarating.’

Iranian intelligence traced back the detected virus and confirmed where it came from.

‘It was Israel. But no one knows that America is behind Israel!’

Iran blocked attacks by Israel and the United States. Iran, which had always suffered losses, achieved victory.

Azid’s status changed in an instant. People who criticized him for spending money unnecessarily praised Azid.

‘Besides, Lahmar himself praised me!’

This was huge. Rahmar was a rank referring to the supreme leader of Iran. In Korea, he was on the same level as the president.

Moreover, the current Rahmar was a king-like figure who had already ruled Iran for over 30 years.

Azid clenched his fists.

‘Promotion is natural. ‘How far can I climb?’

Azid felt like his future was shining brightly.

“ah! “I guess I should thank Wilson.”

Azid sat in front of his computer, wrote an email, and sent it.

[Let’s proceed with our contract soon.]

* * *

A day has passed since the operation began. Everyone left and went to work yesterday.

“good morning.”

Dojun entered the office. The office, which was always lively, was droopy today.

As Do-jun carefully sat down in his seat, Director Keith approached and spoke.

“Dojun, you worked really hard, but I’m sorry.”

“it’s okay. “I’m actually sorry that I wasn’t able to succeed.”

“It’s not your fault, is it?”

Director Keith seemed to have aged a year in just one day.

“Anyway, your mission is over. And even though I didn’t succeed, I will keep my promise. “Get a good night’s rest today, and you don’t have to go to work tomorrow.”

Director Keith said that and left the office.

Dojun scratched his head and thought about it.

‘What was the problem? This virus would not have been detectable yet.’

There are many viruses in the world. However, the vaccine did not detect all viruses.

Most viruses have specific behavioral patterns, and vaccines can detect and treat them when they can detect those patterns.

This meant that it could not be discovered until a ‘specific pattern’ was detected.

‘what? ‘What am I missing?’

While Dojun was thinking, Snowden approached him.

“Dojun, can I talk to you for a moment?”

“huh.”

The place where Snowden took Dojun was the ‘server room’.

The server room in movies and novels was often depicted as a place with a huge number of ‘server computers’.

It wasn’t wrong. But the server room had a few more features.

One was that it was extremely noisy. Since it was a place with hundreds or thousands of computers, the noise of the fans running was extremely loud.

Additionally, the server room had to maintain a constant temperature. The computer had to run the air conditioner 24 hours a day, even in winter, due to the heat.

Because of the noise in the server room, it was difficult for others to hear the conversations taking place there.

Snowden gritted his teeth and looked at Dojun and said.

“Dojun, I think I was tricked. “You were right.”

“Are you fooling me?”

“I mean Eric. I feel like I was fooled by him. I think Eric passed the source on to Iran as well. Otherwise, there is no way for Iran to know the virus pattern.”

Actually, Dojun also thought about this. But there was something I didn’t understand.

“He wanted a side contract from you, right? If this happens, he won’t be able to get the contract, right?”

“If this is true, the contract will also be false.”

Dojun tilted his head.

“Have you tried contacting Eric?”

“huh. But he doesn’t answer the phone. However, I received a call via email.”

“You can receive mail?”

Then he didn’t run away.

“huh. When I got angry, Eric actually got angry. “What he said was that America had already created the sauce, and he never said it would work in Iran.”

After saying those words, Snowden grabbed the server frame with his hand.

“I was a fool. “When I thought about it, it wasn’t wrong.”

“But it is also true that it was cleverly deceived.”

Snowden sat down.

“that’s right. But in the end, I’m the fool who fooled myself. “If it weren’t for that source, this project might have been successful.”

Dojun thought no.

‘The sauce is real.’

“Snowden, even if that source wasn’t available, the result would have been similar.”

“You don’t have to comfort me.”

Snowden staggered to his feet.

“Where are you going?”

“I have to work. “Eric said, give me money.”

“A side contract?”

“huh. “I made a promise, so I have to keep it.”

If it were me, I would have questioned whether it was a promise or something, but when I saw Snowden trying to keep his promise even to hackers, I thought, ‘It’s very Snowden-like.’

It was then.

‘promise? that’s right! ‘There it was!’

Dojun realized that there was one thing different about this hacking virus from his previous life.

‘Wait, what if I use that part?’

Dojun grabbed Snowden’s shoulder as he was about to leave.

“Wait a minute, Snowden. “This operation is not over yet.”

“What are you talking about. “It’s all over.”

“no. There’s still a way left. I remember? “One more feature was added to this virus.”

Dojun entered through a Russian engineer’s messenger and added a function to spread the virus to the Iranian intelligence service.

Snowden nodded at Dojun’s words.

“Infiltrating Iranian intelligence and infecting document files? Hey Dojun, the key to this operation is USB. “Not the Iranian intelligence service.”

“know.”

“Then you know better, right? No matter how much you hack the intelligence department, you cannot infiltrate Iranian nuclear facilities. Moreover, security at nuclear facilities is already at the highest level. Now no one can enter a nuclear facility with a USB.”

At that time, Dojun grinned.

“Is that really true? “I believe there are people who aren’t like that?”

* * *

Dojun left the server room and found the ‘backside contract’ with Snowden.

Fortunately, the virus planted by Dojun and Snowden had infiltrated Iranian intelligence.

Among the numerous documents in the Iranian server, the virus searched for software contract documents signed within two months and sent them to Snowden.

Of course, it wasn’t transmitted in a normal way.

The e-mail address of an employee working for Iran’s intelligence service was hacked and sent to an Iranian university, which then traveled through three countries around the world to the United States.

A total of 45 documents arrived to Snowden, and he found two of them.

“Dojun, it’s like this.”

Dojun checked the document. It was a general software outsourcing contract. However, the company was a shell company, and its intended use was unclear. However, the contract amount was large.

‘A formal contract worth 10 million dollars. And there’s another $10 million worth of side contracts.’

“Snowden, I think this is certain.”

“But what are you going to do with this?”

Dojun grinned.

“Who is the subject of this contract?”

“He’s the head of Iran’s intelligence department here. Azid Hosseini.”

Dojun grinned as he looked at the information on ‘Azid Hosseini’ in the NSA database.

“This is the person we should use.”

“This person?”

“Think about it, Snowden. “Don’t you think Eric passed the source on to this guy?”

“It could have been that way, or they could have even created a defense system.”

“that’s right. I bet it was. “So how did they apply that to the nuclear facility’s computers?”

“Yeah… … .”

For a moment, Snowden opened his eyes.

“this… “A person must have done it themselves!”

“okay. Even if everyone else is prevented from doing so. “You can’t block this person’s USB.”

Snowden asked, looking at Dojun.

“But our hacking program is already blocked. Besides, there is no reason for this person to use USB anymore.”

Dojun grinned at Snowden’s words.

“That’s what we’re going to do from now on. “Making Intelligence Director Azid have no choice but to take the USB and plug it into the computer at the nuclear facility.”

“No, how can I do that?”

Dojun grinned and told his plan.

* * *

Dojun immediately ran to Director Keith and said.

“This operation is not over yet. “There is only one way left to succeed.”

Director Keith, who was dazed, blinked and asked Dojun.

“What are you talking about… … ? “Are you saying it’s not over yet?”

“I know one more person who would drop a USB stick into an Iranian nuclear facility. “He is someone no one can suspect.”

“There is such a person? “Who is that?”

“This is Azid Hosseini, the head of Iranian intelligence.”

Intelligence Director Azid was someone Director Keith knew well.

“Why him? “You mean plugging a USB into a nuclear facility?”

“In fact, Snowden and I secretly added one more function to this hacking program.”

Director Keith frowned. Because he knew something had happened that he didn’t even know about.

“What is that?”

“The hacking file was planted in the Iranian intelligence service through a Russian technician’s network.”

“Iranian intelligence was hacked… … ? how?”

“It succeeded in infecting the PC in charge of representing Russia through the Russian Sebastian technician PC, infecting the PC in charge of Iran through the Russian officer, and ultimately entering the Iranian intelligence service.”

Director Keith, who had been lying crooked, sat up straight.

“so?”

“I checked the email from Intelligence Director Azid Hosseini. So we learned that someone outside was involved in this operation.”

Dojun told everything honestly except for Eric and Snowden.

“that… Did our operation fail because of an outside organization? “Who the hell is there?”

“It doesn’t matter. You can find out later. “The important thing is that if we use it now, we can continue our operations.”

“how?”

Dojun took a deep breath and explained his plan.

“So we need coordinated operations with Israel again.”

After hearing Dojun’s words, Director Keys nodded and then contacted the Israeli Mossad director again.

And exactly one hour later, the operation began again.

* * *

“ha.”

Dojun took control of the Iranian intelligence chief’s computer through a ‘worm’ inside the Iranian intelligence department.

Dojun manipulated the email address on the computer he had taken over.

[This is an upgraded version of the security system.]

[We have received information that the United States and Israel are attempting hacking again.]

[We acquired related sources and created a security system to respond to their hacking.]

[Please delete the existing system and install this system.]

[From your friend.]

Do-Jun sent an email to the head of the Intelligence Department, just as he had previously sent emails and security system files.

‘please please!’

Next was a time of waiting. One minute felt like an hour.

But the wait was worth it.

The attached file was downloaded along with information that the email had been confirmed.

‘it’s okay!’

After some time, a voice message came again from Israel.

– The target enters the destination.

There was no way to check now.

Dojun, Israel’s Unit 8200, and all NSA agents waited for the next news.

– Chiik. Cheeik.

And then a call came from Israel.
