Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Sensation

Loading the code into the computer, he prepared to market the software he had spent six years creating.

Although he characterized the software as an antivirus product, it wasn't just that.

In addition to clearing the virus from the device, it will also work as a patcher, fixing bugs, and, most importantly, providing a solid wall against hacking and malicious attacks.

The technology he used was at least a decade ahead of the current world.

Uploading the software to various online stores, Ray began working on initial publicity.

He first created a post advertising the product and then pinned it at the top of various forms, groups, and discussions by hacking into them.

For a top hacker like him, this was a basic operation.

Doing this, he relaxed, there was no need for any further operation from his side.

He was confident in his product, as long as the initial publicity period passed, he would just need to sit and count the money.

He has labeled the software as free, for now, but once it has accumulated a certain number of users, he will change that to a paid product.

It wouldn't be too expensive, a monthly subscription of 10 dollars will be enough.

.....

While Ray was getting ready for a beautiful future, it was a sensation online, Ray's operation of pinning his post on various platforms by hacking, in addition to panic also caused heated discussion about him as well as his product.

When administrators of these platforms tried to remove the post, they were prompted that they did not have the authority to do this, which caused them to change their expressions.

Once this incident went viral, it was out of hand, it even triggered a large number of hackers and elite programmers trying to break this phenomenon and get themselves famous.

Then these platforms were miserable, first Ray's operation caused them trouble, and then a large number of self-promoting hackers and programmers attacked these platforms making the situation even worse.

This situation changed when a certain elite posted the following tweet:

"Although I would like to condemn the malicious operation of this person in the online world, the product being advertised is truly outstanding, just by downloading it on my device, it has made it at least 30% faster, it is unbelievable how it is done, Oh and you can remove the pinned post on your platform using this product"

As soon as this tweet was posted it was retweeted numerous times and the reach of this post was astounding, approaching 10 million in just 3 hours.

By this time administrators of these platforms had taken down Ray's posts using the software he developed, but it wasn't of any use as the effect Ray wanted had already been achieved.

...

After doing the work that needed to be done, Ray had already logged off his computer and now he was enjoying a cheeseburger at the roadside stall, unaware of the sensation he had caused all over the internet.

"Master this burger is delicious" Licking his fingers Ray praised the old man selling burgers.

Listening to his praise, the old man laughed showing his yellow teeth "It's good if you like it, do you want more?"

Patting his belly Ray shook his head "No, thank you, I am full"

Paying the bill to the old man, Ray left.

Roaming the streets, Ray was attracted by a discussion between two people not far away from him.

"Did you see it? This person is fu*king awesome!"

"Yeah, he hacked into more than 30 platforms just to advertise his product, now owners of these platforms must be cursing this lunatic, haha"

Listening to them, Ray had a strange look on his face, walking up to them, Ray asked " Brother what are you talking about, who hacked into more than 30 platforms?"

One of them looked at Ray, then showed his mobile display to Ray " Man, I am talking about this incident, some hacker hacked into various platforms just to advertise some software and- "

Interrupting the man halfway the other one spoke " The problem is not that he hacked into these platforms, the problem is that, the hacking skills of this person are too outstanding, it has been 5 hours and no one has been able to remove his post from these places"

"Yeah, now it has triggered a competition among hackers from different countries, one who will remove the post will be the winner, this incident has become pretty famous now everyone is talking about it, man didn't you check your phone?"

Listening to the two men opening the chatterbox, Ray was a little strange, when he posted the advertisement he casually created a firewall around it so that it wouldn't be taken down as soon as it was posted, he certainly hadn't thought that it would trigger competition among hackers.

Are programmers nowadays this incompetent? They are unable to break a program he has casually written.

It wasn't that they were incompetent, the problem is that Ray is a top hacker himself, and any code he casually writes is a top-notch program, and hackers cracking it are not of the same level as him, so this incident has been dragged till now.

If a hacker at the same level as him had taken action it would have been solved in the blink of an eye, but the problem is that, individuals with that level of expertise disdain to play house with these little hackers.

So it has been dragged till now.

Looking at the popularity of the incident, Ray decided to go back and end this fuss, After all, a tree that stands out, attracts the most wind.

Anyway, his goal has been achieved, and with this amount of popularity, he didn't believe that his product would go bankrupt.

Halfway through, a tweet affirming his product was posted and in less than five minutes of that, his advertisement was taken down from all of the platforms.

This matter was considered over, but it evoked another discussion involving his product 'The Shield', and this discussion was far from over.
