Chapter 12 Unbreakable
The spread of word of mouth is much faster than Li Maoye imagined!
Although he uploaded the software for testing on the domestic platform, the compression ratio of the liquid cat is really amazing, and the lossless compression effect is too powerful. After word of mouth, several companies in Silicon Valley in the United States received this software for testing.
When many foreign programmers first got this compression software, they tried to use it half-believingly, thinking that what kind of program master can be produced in places like China?
But once the cat was used with liquid, I was immediately scared by its powerful functions!
“oh my god!”
“i can’t believe it!”
...
When the liquid cat shocked many foreign programmers and their eyes fell all over the ground, especially the speculation that could theoretically "infinite compression", it made it a delicious bun in the eyes of everyone.
There are also many "smart" programmers who have started to crack the work. In their opinion, as long as they can follow the ideas of the software author, they can crack the program and even infer the core algorithm from it.
At first they were doing such dirty work alone, but when they cracked it in depth, they found that they had no idea where to start. The encryption shell of this software is too powerful, and they couldn't even get unlimited use of the software if they wanted to crack it, and they couldn't get the compression algorithm from it.
The test software uploaded by Li Maoye has a limited number of usage times, which ensures that these outsourcing software cannot be used for free.
When these pirate programmers find that they are powerless to "liquid cats", they can only seek help from outside, hoping that someone has successfully cracked it, can give some help, and even share the cracking results.
However, as soon as the related post was posted, many pirate programmers began to complain that they spent a lot of time cracking this software, but in the end they were useless!
"I'm sure the encryption algorithm used by this software is very strong, and it's at the same level as its compression algorithm! For this Fields Medal-level encryption algorithm, it's impossible to crack it even with supercomputers!" someone replied in the post.
"Impossible!" Some pirate programmers expressed disbelief and said: "There is no program in this world that cannot be cracked, it's just how much the cost is!"
This is true. Even giants like Microsoft and Sony, which claim to be unable to crack, have been captured one by one as time goes by after their products were launched. This has led to Pirate Programmers who believe that as long as they are valuable, there is still someone willing to pay the price of time and manpower, and no software can be cracked.
In order to maintain the honor of Pirate Programmer, someone launched the challenge of cracking the "Liquid Cat". Everyone brainstormed and tried every means to crack this software successfully!
But day by day, these pirates returned empty-handed again and again, and even their shells could not be broken!
If Li Maoye learned about this, he would definitely be extremely funny. The encryption algorithm that the cvi system comes with is something that he himself is not sure about cracking. The technical content here is n times stronger than the compression algorithm. After all, the cvi system manufacturer has spent a lot of effort to ensure that its copyright is not cracked.
So, no matter how hard the pirate programmers fought, there would definitely be no results in the end.
Some people want to use illegal means to gain benefits from liquid cats, and naturally some people want to gain benefits through legal channels. However, Silicon Valley companies are separated from Pengcheng by a Pacific Ocean, and there are certain problems in information communication between the two. Many Silicon Valleys have seen the market competitiveness of this compression software, but they just cannot find the author of the software.
When Li Maoye uploaded the test software, he did not leave any contact information, so no one has come to him yet.
However, difficulties will always be overcome. The company that first contacted monkey comes from Silicon Valley, a small company called Randian Technology.
Although Randian Technology Company is small, it is strong. It is said that its boss Steve has a background as a Wall Street financial giant, and some people say that he has official government connections, etc.
When Steve first learned about the Liquid Cat software, he didn't believe in the so-called test data, thinking that it was all artificial fraud. He has been working in Silicon Valley for so many years, and has seen many examples of data fraud. In recent cases, a post-80s beauty cheated out tens of billions of dollars by falsifying a drop of blood data, and also topped the Forbes rankings.
When Elizabeth was doing well in Silicon Valley, many smart investors were deceived by the "drop of blood" she carefully packaged. It can be seen that sometimes when a so-called black technology appears, it is very likely that a high-tech scam will be born again.
There are many such cases, but most of them are hidden under the prosperity of Silicon Valley. Only those who cheat too many and too big can emerge from the water and make people know it.
In short, Steve believes that what the eyes see is not necessarily the truth, and one must experience it personally before drawing a conclusion.
He first used liquid cat to compress the files on his computer, and successfully compressed them very smoothly and achieved the expected compression effect. After decompression, the file can also be used, and all the data in the file is complete.
At this time, Steve still couldn't believe it, but he was already interested in this software: "If it could be cracked, maybe you could know how it was done!"
So Steve immediately found a top pirate programmer through the Internet, hoping to crack the "liquid cat" through him and his team, but when he just asked, the programmer shook his head and refused.
"How much do you want to help me crack it?" Steve is not afraid of spending money. He has money, and it is possible to spend hundreds of millions of dollars for his interest.
"It's not a matter of money, but I'm really powerless!"
The programmer explained helplessly: "Actually, I have obtained this compression software for a long time and know that it can theoretically compress files infinitely. From the day I got it, I have already started to crack it. And it's not just me who is cracking it myself. There are many people in the pirate world working with me. We all want to crack the encrypted shell of this software, but the hell is that everyone hasn't even touched the cracking door!"
After hearing this, Steve was shocked: "Even you can't crack it?"
"That's right!"
The Pirate Programmer nodded and finally had to apologize for disconnecting the video.
Steve knew very well how high the pirate programmer he was looking for was. Since he said he couldn't crack it, it was really impossible to crack it. This indirectly shows that the software programming author has very strong abilities and is already one of the best programmers on Earth.
