Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 69 War without gunpowder

"Brother, how long will it take to expand the server capacity?"

"Give me another minute."

"OK, no problem!"

Chen Hao did not avoid his relationship with his elder brother in the company. He told everyone clearly that as the vice president of the company, Lin Lang relied on his relationships more than his strength.

After 10 minutes, the expansion of server 1 in each zone was completed.

Chen Hao asked Lu Tao to release the queue restrictions, and all the players in the queue have logged in to the game.

Lin Lang and Chen Hao looked at their respective screens. The overall server load averaged around 80% and had stabilized.

At the same time relieved.

11 points.

A few bangs,

Colorful ribbons fly into the sky, colorful and falling stars are falling one after another.

This is a celebration ceremony held when the Human Resources Department received Mr. Chen’s secret order and the number of people online at the same time officially exceeded the 5 mark.

Everyone cheered and smiled with joy. They were proud to have won the first battle.

The two cleaning ladies next to them had fun with these young people for a while, then calmed down first and looked at the confetti on the ground: MMP!

After a few minutes, everyone made a fuss, then quickly went about their business and continued to stick to their posts.

Chen Hao looked at the number 5 on the wall and pondered for a moment.

He took a whiteboard pen from the side and wrote a series of numbers directly on the wall.

"8, 20, 300"

After finishing writing, I went to the marketing department for a visit, with the beautiful assistant following closely behind me.

Lin Xiaoran's task today was to follow Teacher Chen with her eyes wide open and record everything she saw and heard.

A bunch of technical geeks were left there speculating.

"Hey, boss, what do you mean by this number? 8 will be given to 30 people who performed well in the company in August?"

"As far as money is concerned, it's definitely not the case. Mr. Chen is not such a stingy person. With the momentum of the open beta, the bonus at the end of the month must not be increased by at least zero."

"8 is August, yes. Judging from the data on the wall, it's true."

A slightly shorter technical man adjusted his glasses after finishing speaking, and the lenses flashed, "That is, in August, 8 simultaneous online users and 20 million registered people. This is the goal set by the boss for us!"

"My dear, 20 is more than the population of my hometown."

Chen Hao came to the marketing department.

"Sister Fang, please change the data and it will be a miracle that 1 hour and 11 minutes exceeds 5 people online at the same time. Then send the press release prepared in advance to the major media."

"I'm just waiting for your words." After saying that, he twisted his waist and went back to make a phone call.

When we come to the operations side, only a few calls from customer service are still being answered. After the server problems are solved, they are all minor problems.

Zhou Xiao has already prepared the announcement on the official website, "Boss, post it?"

"send!"

The news that the number of people online at the same time exceeded 5 appeared on the first page of the Miracle official website.

After walking around for a while, he returned to the technical department and told Lu Tao that he would modify the program so that players' points would not be deducted from 7 to 9 o'clock tomorrow night.

Before Chen Hao could relax, he received a call from his brother. He reported that the server was currently under unknown attack and the number of visits had increased significantly. He had turned on super defense.

It’s really like one wave after another,

Before the breath of relief could escape, he was sucked back in.

Chen Hao quickly took out his notebook and went to the front line to investigate with Lu Tao and several programmers.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I found out that it was not a program vulnerability. I communicated with my brother and temporarily banned hundreds of IPs in one go to block this wave of attacks.

Unlike the last cyber attack, this one is larger and more aggressive.

Within a few minutes, a bunch of other IPs appeared and continued to attack them non-stop.

Lin Lang chose to attack with all his troops out of consideration to avoid affecting the player's gaming experience.

Put all the last 20 servers into it proportionally.

In this way, even if something slips through the super defense, it will only consume some server resources at best, and it can still survive for now.

<divclass="contentadv">This kind of waste of server resources to deal with illegal attacks is a no-brainer.

Block one batch and get a new batch. The cost for the other party to change IP is very low, but their cost and efficiency are not small.

"Lu Tao, find a few experts to temporarily write a scheduled task and scan it once every minute. If the number of requests for the same IP in one minute is higher than the normal upper limit we calculated, add it directly to the IP blacklist and block it directly! One hour is enough not enough?"

"It will be online in 40 minutes!"

"Okay, let's go, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li and I will deal with this first."

Half an hour later, under such circumstances, the crude version of the Qifang System came online.

At this time, the huge advantage of going online without downtime is shown, which allows players to smoothly upgrade without being aware of it. Otherwise, during the peak period during the day, players will have to curse again.

The Qifeng system is divided into two parts. The hardware is temporarily dismantled by Lin Lang and engineers from the firewall level through link analysis and rejects access to illegal requests.

At the software level, it regularly scans for abnormalities once every minute, finds any fish that have slipped through the net, and directly blocks the other party's IP address, making it impossible to access and log in to Miracle.

After going online, the results were impressive. There was no need for manual screening and processing, which greatly improved efficiency.

An hour later, the opponent saw that the attack had not achieved the desired effect and stopped.

Chen Hao did not take it lightly, but ordered the strange defense system to run for a long time.At the same time, colleagues who are good at network security were mobilized to set up a separate Qifeng team, which was solely responsible for the improvement, update and maintenance of the Qifeng system.

This attack incident was investigated and summarized by the technical department and it was found that the IP addresses of the attack were irregular, distributed in various places, and came from different sources.

This time is different from the legendary one, bigger and more aggressive.

Fortunately, we were able to successfully defend ourselves.

In fact, the two attacks Chen Hao experienced were both DDOS attacks.

DDoS, which stands for "Distributed Denial of Service Attack", uses reasonable requests to cause resource overload and render services unavailable.

The attack method is: multiple attackers in different locations launch attacks on one or several targets at the same time, or an attacker controls multiple machines in different locations and uses these machines to attack the victim at the same time.

It is easy to understand with an example, that is, a group of gangsters asked the owner of a newly opened restaurant for 10 in protection fees. The owner was not afraid of the evil forces and refused to comply. The gangsters filled up the seats in the restaurant without getting the money. Don’t leave without ordering.

At this time, customers are afraid to enter the restaurant, and even those who dare to enter the restaurant cannot find a seat. In the end, the restaurant will have no real customers, and the business will plummet, and it will be unable to provide services to real customers.

This attack also encountered them. If it encounters someone with weaker technical capabilities, the server can be shut down. Even restarting will be useless. The load will still be fully loaded within a few minutes. The cycle starts over and over again. The final result may be a miracle on the public beta day. It becomes a memorial day.

I don’t know who the other party is, maybe it’s Shanda?Maybe another competitor?Or is it a joke by a hacker?

After all, Miracle was indeed in the limelight some time ago, and it is normal for the tree to attract the wind to have a few malicious opponents.

But only a thousand days to be a thief, how can a thousand days to prevent a thief? Chen Hao has limited knowledge of hacker attack methods. After all, most programmers can repair computers, but programmers who become hackers are really rare.

Chen Hao has come up with a plan, and it seems that he has to find a network security master, but this kind of thing depends on deception. No, it depends on sincerity, and everything will come true, but for the time being, distant water cannot save the near fire, and there is no rush.

The top priority is to improve employees’ cybersecurity awareness!To avoid internal problems, such as phishing websites and Trojan emails, which are more harmful.

The matter was settled, and Chen Hao asked Lu Tao to issue a review summary report before leaving get off work.

Ten minutes later, Chen Hao preliminarily wrote a company network security specification (first draft) and gave it to Lu Tao, asking him to find the special defense team within the department to improve it. After his review, it was published and strictly implemented by everyone in the company.

After finishing this matter, he took out the phone and asked his brother to contact EMC and purchase another batch of servers with the same specifications. The sooner the better, the price should be about the same, and he let his brother take full responsibility.

In the following time, no major events occurred, but various other problems followed one after another. Under Chen Hao's clear command, they were all solved one after another without any mistakes.

The example set by the company boss inspires all employees in various departments to perform their duties and carry out the work at hand in an orderly manner.

When Chen Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, he realized that night had fallen.

Before getting off work in the evening, Chen Hao took the report from Lin Xiaoran.

"Miracle Open Beta First Day Process & Summary"

There is a lot of content, but the writing is smooth and the key points are highlighted. Chen Hao can read it quickly.

When he saw the last line, Chen Hao pursed his lips, as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, all kinds of tastes came to his heart.

As of 10 hours after the public beta started, the number of people online at the same time on Miracle exceeded [-]. Behind the bright numbers,

It is a war without gunpowder!
