Hammer of Technology

After hanging up the phone, Ning Wei let out a long breath, finally feeling at ease physically and mentally.

The chat between the two of them this time had no gunpowder flavor, at least it would not be more gunpowder than the first chat between the two.At least Ningwei didn't swear directly from the beginning to the end.This shows that although it is very tortuous to establish a friendship between the two, at least they are moving forward.

Of course, it may be that the other side gave money...

For a reasonable person, it would be somewhat embarrassing if people gave money and still cursed.Moreover, the swearing words in the English department are actually just a few sentences repeated over and over again, far from being as broad and profound as the Chinese language. There are n kinds of expressions in the national swearing alone, so it is actually very boring to swear in English, and it seems special. not educated.

Then put the matter behind me.

Yes, the part he is responsible for has been done, and the rest should be the work of the vulnerability receiving unit.

From Yan Ming's layout of the turbulence algorithm, Ning Wei discovered a truth. His heart is really not dirty enough, and it can even be said to be too pure.In many cases, I am still too thin-skinned, and I am too embarrassed to ask for benefits directly.

If we really want to talk about how to make full use of the technical materials he submitted, we still have to watch other people's performances.

And it's already beginning to emerge.

For example, he really didn't announce on the Internet that he packaged and uploaded these vulnerabilities through the information platform, but the Internet has already spread a lot, and there is no behind-the-scenes promoter of this kind of news, and he would rather be killed than believe it.

After all, the circle of programmers has never been very big, and the recommendation algorithms of those small video platforms are even more confusing when it comes to the amount. For the video, the one with the most likes has just broken [-], and it is still a video that has been on the top all the time, with data accumulated for more than half a year.

And the video that exposed the big news just posted has more than 20 likes. Even though Ning Wei seldom pays attention to these video software, he can analyze that this kind of data is extremely abnormal. , it is basically impossible to get out of the circle in such a short time.

If the official recommendation algorithm has not been hacked by programmers, then the answer is obvious...

This is actually quite good. He is only responsible for the technical work of lighting the fire. As for the hard work of adding firewood in the later stage, it is best for someone to take over.

……

"I am very embarrassed by Mr. Lu. You know, we built this platform mainly to share the collected network security risks and vulnerability information with platform members. Of course I know that win10 is a Microsoft product, but there are also some The problem is, Microsoft is not a member of our platform! According to the rules of the platform, we have given you the details of the vulnerabilities, which violates our regulations."

"Liu Chu, you can't say that? It is an international rule to submit the details of the vulnerability to the developer as soon as possible..."

"Yes, Mr. Lu, you are right, and I know it is the case, but I have to say, this should be a rule that restricts bug discoverers? You also know that these bugs are not our technicians. The discovery was made by Professor Ning of the Frontier Research and Development Center. For me, I can only follow the rules. Tell me, I submitted the vulnerability information to you. If you leak it, what will happen? It’s a big trouble, and the higher-ups are coming to trouble me again, who should I turn to for reasoning?”

In the office of the person in charge of the China Network Security Threat and Vulnerability Sharing Platform, Liu Qingyuan was doing Tai Chi with Lu Zhengyao, the president of Microsoft Greater China.

It's been a long time... But the attitudes of both parties are very peaceful and friendly, which is actually quite good. The only problem is that it probably wastes a lot of time.

Of course, it's hard to say whether the emotions in the hearts of the two are as peaceful as they appear on the surface.

For example, Microsoft leaked its own important vulnerability information?

Lu Zhengyao didn't know how Liu Qingyuan had the nerve to say such a thing, but he had nothing to do with it.

Once everything is on the line and the rules are involved, it will not be fun.

After all, rules mean constraints, and no one likes to be constrained.

And Liu Qingyuan was right about one thing, the so-called rules and restrictions were for the discoverer. In other words, Lu Zhengyao could indeed find Ning Wei, but the problem was that he had to find Ning Wei.

It's not that I haven't been to Yanbei University before. First, I was blocked directly and couldn't get in. After finally finding a relationship, I got in, but no one was there after I went in.

Of course, everyone has Ningwei's email address and phone number, but the phone calls are never connected, and the emails sent never wait for a reply.

Some people also found out that Ning Wei had gone to the R&D center, but people who were always well-informed about the exact location of the area hadn't found out yet. Of course, even if they did, they probably wouldn't be able to get in.

It was really embarrassing. For Lu Zhengyao, he was able to sit in an office with Liu Qingyuan, the main person in charge of the platform, in advance.Seriously, you might be kicked out...

After all, this is the territory of China, and it is different from the pirate thinking. The way of communication with hidden needles in the cotton makes people feel a sense of entanglement that they don't know how to exert their power.

"Chu Liu, you have to give me an explanation on how to solve this problem. Vulnerabilities are inevitable. After all, it is our operating system. We care more about and are more capable of repairing any loopholes in the system than any third party. , even if it’s for China’s network security, shouldn’t we be excluded? Besides, we’ve been working together very happily.”

"That's what I said too! But rules are rules, really, Mr. Lu, don't make things difficult for me..."

Just as he was talking, Liu Qingyuan's phone rang, showing an apologetic smile, and answered the phone first.

"Hey, oh, the results of the expert's test have come out? How is the result? Oh...it matches the description, then we still need to listen to the expert's advice, and just do what the expert said, so that's it."

After finishing speaking, Liu Qingyuan hung up the phone, then looked at Lu Zhengyao, smiled and said, "Where did you just talk?"

……

America, three thirty in the morning.

When the news began to spread in China, three hours ago, when the news began to spread on the Internet, all the bosses knew that it was not just their own family that had received a kind call from Professor Ning.

So in the middle of the night, many bigwigs couldn't sleep.

Many people are waiting for the results of the communication between Sackler and Ning Wei. At this time, the full version of the communication between the two has been transmitted to the ears of these big bosses who have not yet slept through the signal.

"I like to do things within the scope of the rules, so I can only wrong these companies..."

"In the future, whoever troubles me, I will trouble them, whoever troubles my partners, I will trouble them, and whoever has trouble with our March smart platform, I will trouble them..."

"The most I can say is that everyone is not used to it yet, but if you get used to it in the future, it will be fine..."

……

These sentences penetrated into everyone's ears, making people feel mixed, like a mouthful of old blood, stuck in the throat, wanting to squirt but can't get it out...

Is it wrong for them to do nothing?So no matter what happens, you have to trouble them?How did that Professor Ning speak so arrogantly and unreasonably?

Really, it's really nothing to have a bug in the product.

Every year, bugs are exposed in their products. The scary thing is that they know there are major bugs, but they don’t know what level of bugs they are. What’s even more frightening is that these big bugs are suddenly exposed at the same time.

The reason why they must pay attention is that the loopholes are rather exposed.

This already recognized as a geek in the mathematics and computer industry can always do some unimaginable things, especially when these vulnerabilities are combined with intelligent platforms, this matter becomes very difficult.

The March intelligent platform has been in operation for nearly a year, and many technology companies have more or less seen how powerful or destructive the strong artificial intelligence platform is.Although everyone is working hard to analyze and research, hoping to make similar intelligent software to compete with March, but the current situation is that there is no clue yet.

Against this background, upon hearing Ning Wei's words, besides being angry, there was also fear.

Fear and opponents have learned not to speak martial arts!

"Huaxia's official vulnerability information sharing platform has confirmed that it has received the vulnerability information submitted by Ning. According to what he said on the phone, the destructive capabilities of these vulnerabilities may be astonishing. Referring to the severity of java log4j2, it may cause a wide range of information. Crisis, and more importantly, when multiple problems are exposed together, the blow to the entire network security environment is huge, and this matter must be properly resolved."

"How to solve it? Now we don't know the details of the vulnerability, so let our technicians analyze the code one by one? We should have been the first to know the details of the vulnerability, but now the rules have been broken!"

"Actually, what I don't quite understand is that this incident could have been avoided. You should know that Ning is a lunatic! Why do you have to provoke that lunatic over and over again!"

"Provoke? Pat, this is a country of free speech!"

"Heh... that's great, Mr. Zuckerberg, I really appreciate your attitude, but when the private content of Facebook users is published tomorrow, I will definitely like every private content that is published!"

"Actually, it's really not our fault, Pat. No one would want to encounter this kind of thing. Of course, even if they think about it in advance... Do you think we can directly block the nbn account?"

"I think what you said is very reasonable, Jack, but you should fly to Huaxia to tell that Ning instead of explaining it to us here! If that lunatic can accept your explanation and apologize to everyone , I guarantee that next time someone dares to target you in the boardroom, we will unite to support you..."

The current CEO of Twitter is so fucked up!

This is the tragedy of Twitter, because it does not adopt equity grading, unlike Facebook’s Zuckerberg, who has absolute control over the company, so when the equity ratio cannot be dominant, the management is easily defeated by the board of directors. recall.

Not long ago, the major shareholder of Twitter had conflicts with the management due to various problems. Jack Dorsey was almost dismissed by the board of directors directly. So to be honest, this boss is probably the most stressed at the moment. It can also be the one with the least pressure. Anyway, if it doesn't agree with the major shareholder, it can't be done, so you can put down the burden...

"Okay, gentlemen, it's not like you are going online to fight with the microphone and the camera in the middle of the night! If the quarrel can solve the problem, I can go to rest first, and we will solve the problem after you have quarreled, how about it?"

The old man who had been silent all this time spoke, and the bosses fell silent.

350 Drama life

In Huaxia, the conversation continued in the office of platform director Liu Qingyuan.

"Just now I said don't embarrass you..."

"That's it, Mr. Lu, you know, it's useless to embarrass me. For me, the rules may be directly related to my job, so why bother?"

"I'm not embarrassing you. I'm under a lot of pressure. If I really want to be reasonable, it's on my side. I'm already very reasonable. If you listen to the words of the headquarters, you will know my embarrassment. "

"Haha, Mr. Lu, you also said that it is the pressure from the headquarters. This makes it difficult for me. After all, Microsoft headquarters does not pay me a salary, right?"

Tai Chi pushing hands makes people helpless, Lu Zhengyao was silent for a moment, spread his hands, and said seriously: "Director Liu, let's stop pushing, why don't you give me an explanation, how can we let us know the details of the loophole in the first place?" ? Instead of going through a so-called third party..."

"Mr. Lu, isn't this obvious? This is in Huaxia, so follow our rules, isn't it good? To be honest, Microsoft Huaxia has enjoyed so many preferential policies before, and it's not that difficult to follow the rules. Right?" Liu Qingyuan said meaningfully.

Lu Zhengyao looked at the opposite side, his eyes met, and finally Lu Zhengyao was defeated: "I need to make a phone call."

"Okay, okay, don't bother to go out, I just want to talk to the experts, you can get in touch here."

"..."

……

Huaxia, the cutting-edge intelligent research and development center.

Ning Wei is planning the chip instruction set with March in his office, specifically, standardizing various instructions.

"That's it for the data transmission instructions. You check and see if there is any problem. If there is no problem, let's continue to write instructions for arithmetic and logic operations." Ning Wei said to the computer screen.

After feeling comfortable, the design work of the instruction set officially started.

Loopholes or BUGs are just vents.No matter how you look at it, he has no motivation to make these things public.No matter how high the attitude is, at least at this stage, Intel's products should be used, and Microsoft's operating system cannot be separated.

It is enough to have a good mood by talking about it, and then it is right to use the happy mood for career struggle.

The really happy day should be the day when our own chips and operating system can compete with Intel and Microsoft or even directly surpass them.

According to calculations in March, although the 65nm 5D Silicon Communication technology is slightly behind the current mainstream 7nm process, the performance of the finished product can basically be better than the previous generation of [-]nm process.

As long as the design can keep up, the problem of yield rate can be solved during mass production, and there is a good enough supporting operating system to support it. If domestic policy support is added, it will not be difficult to open up the market.

But for Ning Wei, he doesn't care much about whether there is any policy support.After all, policy support can only be provided domestically. If you want to compete with the Intel and Microsoft alliances in the international market, the most important thing is to have hard power, which includes cost and user experience. Of course, the most important thing is to make the product first.

For those bigwigs on the other side of the ocean, they probably never imagined that the crisis in front of them is actually not a big deal. What is really fatal is that this incident has aroused Ning Wei's fighting spirit...

Originally, he planned to start this matter, and then leave it to others, but he wanted to hurry up and finish his review of the physics knowledge framework before giving classes to Ningban, and formally enter the cutting-edge field of physics, but now I decided to put the desire for physical knowledge a little later, or to put the two on an equal level.

For Ningwei, it is just a matter of choosing the focus of his work in the near future, but the impact after fermentation may be great.

……

"Everyone, we have some internal emergencies to deal with, so we are going offline first. I agree with all the resolutions that were finally formed at this meeting." Satya Nadella said something after answering the phone call, and then did not wait for other The person replied and went offline immediately.

In fact, it’s a bit of a shame. It’s like saying that this meeting is meaningless. Of course, Satya Nadella does have willful capital. After all, his position in Microsoft is still very stable.

It's just that being so willful will still hit other people a little bit.

"In this case, I will leave first. My opinion is that it is better not to take the initiative to provoke Huaxia, especially that Professor Ning. It is meaningless. If possible, some remedial measures can be taken. My opinion is probably like this. Goodbye, Mr. Sackler." Tim Cook followed up, and then decisively logged off.

It's not in a hurry for Tim Cook, either.

After all, the current relationship between Apple and the Smart Alliance is actually pretty good. This time Ningwei called, and the latest IOS vulnerability that he talked about was mainly related to jailbreaking.Contains a variety of Apple products.

This is indeed troublesome, but Tim Cook doesn't think it hurts at all.

The reason lies in the confidence of the new version of IOS and user stickiness.

In fact, for the vast majority of Apple users, jailbreaking has never been considered.After all, many users are interested in the stability and security of the Apple system. Once jailbroken, it means that the products in their hands will no longer enjoy Apple’s warranty service. More importantly, not everyone is willing to take the risk of jailbreaking.

All of the above make Apple's desire for this vulnerability not so strong.

It's just that when Microsoft and Apple left one after another, the remaining few people became even more depressed.

"Okay, everyone, the situation is obvious. This meeting is actually useless. You just need to know that person's attitude. Of course, maybe we can do something to save it, for example, some remarks can make them disappear for a while Time. I will say hello to some people. That's it, you should pay attention to rest when you are older, and I am also very tired." The old man said something, and then went offline.

The main characters are all gone, and no one continues to argue.

"Mark, if you want to express your attitude... I think it is really possible to ban CNN's account for a period of time. Maybe this is not a very difficult thing, what do you think?"

"If necessary..."

"That's what I'm going to do, it's early retirement at most. Maybe I can go to Hawaii for an early vacation, yes, you know, I plan to settle in Texas, I have always loved Houston, and I have already decided to retire Settling there after that. It might be a good choice to enjoy life in advance. I invested in an estate on the north side of Houston, next to Lake Somerville. If you go there, you will love it. I can take you to Summer Fishing in the Great Lakes of Vail."

"Then... so be it, I envy you, Jack, really maybe it's a good choice to retire at this time."

"Remember I'm not a deserter, I'm just simply tired. You may not have the same experience as me. Some shareholders... are too difficult to serve! So, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

……

United States, Atlanta, CNN headquarters building, office area on the sixth floor.

"Andy, I have some bad news to inform you. You have been fired, and your compensation will be credited to your card as soon as possible."

"What do you mean, Mr. Adela? Why? Have I done something wrong?"

"I think, yes. Our Twitter account was temporarily banned because you used the official Twitter statement, well... I know this incident makes you unbelievable, but I can't believe it either, but this It's true. I've tried my best to speak for you, but...you know."

Andy Posen was completely taken aback by the extremely sudden news.

He has been in this position for 5 years, and he thought he would spend his whole life in this building.
