Chapter 12 - Fighting Cyber Crime!

The next morning I woke up at 4 am as usual. Freshened myself and ate some Apple and Oranges. I just randomly ran around towards the outskirts of the city. As I ran further and further, The buildings I saw were mostly 2-3 storey ones. The air here is not very healthy to live! I saw some People pulling cart. Maybe they are going towards the market to set up stalls. I should buy some groceries when I get back home! Also I need to find a gym. I should find a premium gym this time. I don't need any trainer as Xiao Li knows my body better.

While enjoying myself in the warmth of the morning Sun on my way back, I got a phone call.

" Can I meet you?"

"Mrs He, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I would like to discuss face-to-face."

"Ok sure. Come to xxxx cafe in Changdu."

"I will reach there in 30 min."

At XXXX cafe.

"So what's the matter?" ~blow airs on the coffee~

"Mr. Wang, the problem we faced previously hasn't been solved properly."

Badum. Does She mean the anti virus is being hacked? Impossible.

"Mrs. He, Can you tell me the specific?"

"It's like this. After using your source code we haven't lost any data or encountered financial losses. But We are being attacked every now and then. we are being harrassed. Our reputation is on the line. If we can't solve this problem within 2 days, we will loose our investors."

"So, you want to find who the attacker is? Or should I say get the proof from the suspect?"

"You are indeed smart. We want you to collect evidence."

"How can you be so sure that I can help you collect evidence?"

"Because you are the best programmer we can ask for help."

"I will help you but I want 500k yuan after I collect the evidence."

"I Sure I will transfer now. Please help us and you don't need to return the money even if you can't find"

~ti ti ti~ I got a msg telling me that I have received 500k yuan and my total balance is 613 k yuan.

"Can you tell the expert over at Your Lab in Shanghai that leave a PC free and running at all times. and tell me the Mac No."

"Sure I will do so. And I will be staying here till tomorrow evening if you need any assistance please do call me"

"Sure. I will get going".

After Leaving her behind, I went to buy groceries, and saw some leaflet advertising about Broadband. It happens to be the newly built Fiber net In Changdu. There was an offer going on that is by paying 5000 yuan I can get a router, modem and a speed of 1gbps without any data limit for 3 month. There after I will be charged 2500 yuan a month for unlimited data,1500 yuan for the 1tb data caping, or the other lower cost.

I called the No. provided as soon as I reached home. They said

"So you want a connection of 2500 yuan at xx street xxx apartment?"

"Yes, I want it Now if possible".

"Bro we will come to your address in 15 min. We are just 3 block away."

They came as said over the phone. And the work was over in 2 hrs. I needed to pay 200 yuan as installation services charges. Soon I was connected to the best internet.

I told Xiao Li to start downloading material related to economic.

[Master I am working on it please wait for some time.]

Then I started preparing food. It consists of beef Noodles, Boiled eggs, Roasted Fish and steamed vegetables. Soon the table was filled. When I saw the amount of food, I think 3-4 people won't be able to eat (Well maybe not, as I finished the food but I didn't feel any sensation of over eating) And I finished of with a glass of Orange Juice.

Then I started looking at all the stuff that I need to buy. Wall clock, Curtains, table cloths, flower vases, some more sofas, book shelf, a study table, comfy chair and various other which I noted down in a paper.

Next I called the real estate agent whom I meet yesterday. She was waiting for me in the management office.

"Mr Wang please come down, I will be waiting near the front entrance."

Then we went to the market in their company's car soon we reached the market. And went to another manage office which was smaller then the previous one.

"Mr Wang Please browse through these brochure. See if there is any to your liking".

After looking through the list, I circled 5 choices. It was different here, as yesterday they only include one interior of a house for the same complex. But they show the exact same interior.

After visiting the sites. I choose one which was located on the 2nd floor of a building just across the electronics market.

I asked Mrs Miao to book for a quick refurbishing services. I signed the contract of the office space at a Price of 25 yuan per meter sq. and the area was 100 sq meter. Not that big, But I don't really need big ones! I will only hire 2-3 people. So I don't need a big space. So the rent was 2500 yuan per month. The refurbishing company representative came and accessed the conditions and showed me some style to choose from. I selected one with a green colour ( I didn't even know the name of the color but it looks nice on the eye so I choose it) for the walls and I changed some lightning and told them to arrange 3 table so that 3 people can work there. With some chairs and sofa clients to sit. After arranging everything, I went to buy my list of items for my appartment. I called the same delivery service to help me deliver the goods after I finished buying them. I ate a heavy lunch at around 3pm ( maybe late lunch) as I was really hungry.at around 4 pm the delivery came. They arranged the items for me so I gave them extra 100 yuan each to the Three delivery guy.

I took a bath sat down and thought I need to call for a cleaning service as the house was dusty with all the new items brought from outside.

Finally I called Mrs He and told her that I will start working.

I start up my laptop and started connecting to the machine which was meant for me to connect remotely( inside the lab an expert was watching that particular PC)

Slowly the PC was being controlled and all control was lost by the expert, then the central server was also being connected. Rows upon rows of codes started appearing. Now the central server was being monitor and controlled (but the normal functions were not disturbed). Various Tools were being installed on both the PC and the server. Finally, all the PC connected to the servers were being monitored. Without anyone realising various tools were being Installed and started running in background mode. It started looking for traces of all the Cyber Attacks done during the last months.

Data's where being sent to and fro Wang Li Laptop, designated PC , server and the rest of the connected PC. Finally after running for 6 hours, I even ate dinner at around 10 pm, I found a large pool of IP address which belongs to attackers and those using the services to trade( customers of the various small financial institutions). The data were devided into two group of files. And I started attacking all the IP addresses with a virus which was very small in size and it's main task was to send back the Mac no of the device being targeted. Now I just need to wait and watch.
