The situation was worse than expected. When Chen Qiaoshan arrived at the studio, he could not even connect to the server remotely. Wang Sifeng had already rushed to Zhongguancun computer room.

The studio has become a mess, Kangsheng has not been affected at the moment, half of the staff stations of Qingshan Forum are empty, and the rest are not interested in working, and are gathering together and don’t know what to talk about.

Looking at the messy situation in the office area, Chen Qiaoshan's face looked extremely ugly.

"Whatever you do together, you have nothing to do, right?"

Everyone was startled and found that Chen Qiaoshan was standing at the door. The young boss who used to be harmless was now staring at the office area with a bad look.

The people who surrounded each other scattered and returned to the workstation. When they heard the movement outside, Liu Chang walked out of the office.

When she saw Chen Qiaoshan arrive, she hurriedly walked up and said, "Old Wang has gone to the computer room. The situation is not good, and the server can no longer respond. Yao Yong and Wang Lei and others are also here to help." Liu Chang's expression was not very good. She participated in the creation of the forum throughout the process, not to mention that Lao Wang still holds 15% of the shares. When encountering this incident, she was also anxious and angry.

Chen Qiaoshan glanced at the office area and then asked: "What's the matter?"

"Since 1:00 pm, an administrator reported that the forum login was difficult. After Lao Wang checked, he found that a disguised IP sent us a Syn message, which caused a large number of resources on the server to be unable to be released." Liu Chang only knew a rough situation, and she directly repeated Wang Sifeng's answer not long ago.

"What did Brother Wang say specifically?" Chen Qiaoshan asked again.

"He was helpless. Now the server has been down and cannot connect remotely. The specific situation is not clear. He can only go to the computer room to find a solution first."

Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised, "What did Brother Dai do with the past?"

Liu Chang replied: "The Discuz system is also used in the forum. He said Dz cannot deal with hacker attacks for the time being, but sooner or later, he will add this function. He wants to find a solution with the past."

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't say anything. She was considering going to the computer room to check the situation. Liu Chang's cell phone rang. After answering it, she hung up after she said a few words. Her face became increasingly ugly.

"What's wrong?" Chen Qiaoshan's heart sank, knowing that it must be no good news.

"A call came from the Zhongguancun computer room and said that our server was poisoned and the traffic was too high, so he notified us to shut down the server of the forum." Liu Chang was very angry. Although she was not a professional, she could at least distinguish between DDOS attacks and viruses.

This group of people is so good that they simply throw the blame on the virus, and there is no excuse for being more reliable. This is too perfunctory.

Bad news followed one after another, Chen Qiaoshan calmed down a little, and even the server was going offline. No matter how bad the situation was, it would be like this.

"The computer room is a subsidiary of Dr. Peng. There should be a network security engineer. I remember they promised to provide technical support?"

Liu Chang was very helpless, "Old Wang said that those people are okay in maintaining the machine, but they can't count on safety."

Chen Qiaoshan completely calmed down. Now that things have come to this point, he has also woken up and cannot solve any problem in a hurry. Wang Sifeng came from the Peking University Information Security Laboratory, and now he can only count on him.

Inadvertently, Chen Qiaoshan realized that Yan Xiaoqin had been following him all the time, and he looked worried.

Chen Qiaoshan asked, "Isn't there a class in the afternoon? Why don't I take you back first?"

"What should you do? You have to go to the train station at four o'clock." If Yan Xiaoqin hadn't reminded him, Chen Qiaoshan would have almost forgot about this.

Tomorrow, the old lady's 70th birthday, he had promised to go home, but the forum server was down, so he was really worried and left.

"Or forget it, I won't go back, I'll call the old lady tomorrow."

Yan Xiaoqin hesitated a little, thought for a while before saying, "This is not good. Your grandma has known that you are going back for a long time and has been thinking about it. If you don't go home, she will definitely be very sad."

"How did the old lady know that I was going home?" After saying that, Chen Qiaoshan realized that he had asked a very stupid question. Xiao Wu was playing the soundtrack in the middle, so the old lady probably knew it a long time ago.

"Xiao Wu said it." Sure enough, Yan Xiaoqin's words confirmed his guess.

Listening to the two of them, Liu Chang couldn't say anything. As the boss, Chen Qiaoshan really couldn't do anything at this time. After thinking about it, she asked, "Dashan, how could he save a lot of time if he bought a plane ticket to go home."

Chen Qiaoshan's face was bitter, the expressway was not repaired, and there was no need to expect flights.

Seeing that he was silent, he was afraid that Liu Chang would misunderstand, Yan Xiaoqin helped explain: "Sister Chang, we are a small county town. The nearest airport is in Nanyang and the flight to Yanjing has not yet been opened. Xinzheng Airport is OK, but it is more than 700 miles apart. It is easier to take the train than to reverse the train back and forth."

Chen Qiaoshan was stunned. This was a solution. He said to Yan Xiaoqin: "Please help me book Xinzheng's air tickets, which are fine tonight or tomorrow morning."

"Is it too late?" Yan Xiaoqin was a little worried.

"I have time to go back and rent a car in Xinzheng, and I will definitely be able to rush back." He only has a few close relatives left in his life, and the old lady is old. To put it in an old saying, she is already far from the sky and the soil. Who knows how many more birthdays can be held? Chen Qiaoshan made up his mind and must not miss this birthday party.

"Okay, you're busy first, I'll do the tickets." Yan Xiaoqin didn't hesitate anymore. Things were already messy enough and I couldn't help with anything else, so there was no problem with life.

Chen Qiaoshan was very anxious. After waiting for a while, there was finally an echo on Wang Sifeng.

"Dashan, the Syn_Recv queue of the forum server is filled with malicious data packets and no longer accepts new Syn requests. Normal users cannot establish a TCP connection. Simply put, our server has been denied service by Syn and Flood."

Wang Sifeng had a headache, and he had no good response to the current situation.

Syn, Flood is currently the mainstream DDoS attack method. It has only appeared a few years ago, but it has been frequently used by hackers.

It can paralyze the target server at a smaller cost, but it is difficult to track down the source, making countless network companies anxious.

Yahoo has suffered greatly from it, and there is no other way to deal with it except to upgrade the firewall.

Chen Qiaoshan looked at the time and it was almost three o'clock, and the website continued to be paralyzed. It would definitely not work if this continued. "Brother Wang, what good solution can be done now that the website can be restored?"

Wang Sifeng said: "Syn, Flood attacks take advantage of the design flaws of the TCP transmission protocol. There are only two ways to solve the problem. You either find the mastermind behind the scenes or spend money to buy a professional firewall."

Although the one who promoted the firewall was the most suspicious, after the attack began, the other party did not show up. It was obvious that he did not want to cause suspicion, and was probably waiting here to come to him.

Chen Qiaoshan does not intend to surrender. In the Internet industry, it is normal to encounter hacker attacks. If news of successful extortion comes out, Qingshan Forum will definitely become a laughing stock in the industry.

There are many precedents like this, and the compromise will definitely not be worth the cost. Once the extortion is successful, it may attract more people to have bad ideas.

Chen Qiaoshan asked, "Brother Wang, just say it straight, how can we solve the problem as quickly as possible?"

Wang Sifeng said: "Now, they are the first to do this in China, but the price is definitely not cheap."

Chen Qiaoshan said directly without hesitation: "Then contact them, don't worry about money, I will solve it. Time is the key, and we must restore the forum to normal as soon as possible."

The popularity of Qingshan Forum is increasing day by day. If it really goes down for three or two days, this blow may be fatal.

The Tianya Forum also went down earlier, but because of insufficient funds, the server could not keep up, and was defeated by several sets of "photo albums" by a female netizen.
