Chapter 386, entry test, how do you invade here
"Very good, then sign this document." Seeing Little Ada nodded, like a magic trick, Alice instantly took out a set of documents from behind!
So, Billy Horn behind him whispered to Bob: "Boss, you're ready."
The interaction between the employees was not noticed by Ada. She just took the documents and read them seriously. Of course, this is just a very formal confidentiality agreement, which is exactly the same as the agreement that any company needs to sign with employees. It is just that it will make provisions on the specific confidentiality content, which is nothing special in itself.
Therefore, after satisfying his initial curiosity, Ada quickly signed his name on this document.
"Ada... King?" Looking at the girl's last signed name, Alice's smile became more and more interesting: "It seems that we are really destined to be together. OK, good, Ada, should I test you personally later? If I pass the IQ, maybe I will hire you as my personal secretary."
"If you want to violate the child labor law," Ada's voice was tender, but he said it without any ambiguity: "Then Miss Alice, now can you tell me what interesting experiments are being conducted in your lab, right?"
"That's right, but don't forget that you have signed a contract with me." Alice, who had bitten the word "contract" from the beginning, looked like an old witch who abducted a child. With the silent and strange laughter of several other colleagues, she walked out of here with Ada's hand: "So, if you dare to tell the secret here, MI6 will do your best to arrest you on your behalf..."
The child who had not graduated from elementary school was very confused after all. Holding Ada's hand, Alice walked towards the elevator with pride.
Then, lead straight to the second underground floor.
"It's actually underground," Ida whispered, as the indicator lights quickly decrease the number, "I didn't pay attention last night."
Alice smiled silently, her eyes swept through the five to b2 of the floor button.
With a tingling sound, the door opened.
"As a local, I think you know this, when did the lab start construction?" It is still a familiar road, and it is still a familiar way to open the door. Alice did what she should do, but she didn't listen to it: "But it's more important to understand that the lab is different from the school after all, and it doesn't have to start working after everything is ready. So, although the overall building was finally completed in April, it's just about May, but the research itself has already begun."
Listening to the fully understandable instructions, Ada immediately opened her eyes after the metal door was validated before it was opened.
The brand new supercomputer array is located here, and the size of the chassis is no less than the largest refrigerator, and the number is more than tens of times. This is the computer room, and Aida immediately realized it, and what made her even more excited was that this big set of machinery was obviously working, and the buzzing fan sound filled this space, and the sultry heat was the absolute main theme, even if there was a ventilation system here.
"Supercomputer..." She looked at one of the cases in an amazement and said, "Miss Alice, what you said really makes sense. This big guy alone must not be able to disclose it to outsiders casually, right?"
"Well... it depends on what angle it considers. From the perspective of the strength of the Institute of Foreign Propaganda and the recruitment of more institutes and funding consortiums, we still need to disclose its existence."
Alice was explaining, but Ada, who had just signed a confidentiality agreement, had a brain-based operation mode that was absolutely different from that of ordinary people: "What if a competitor sneaked in here and steal information from the computer?"
The little girl brought more and more surprises. Alice really felt that she didn't know her in vain: "Oh, I have a good idea, so how about I'll test you for the question now?"
Ada looked left and right, and the huge computer room was full of cases, but no one else was there: "Well, come on!"
"Okay, please listen to the question." Alice walked in the girl's hand: "If this institute undertakes some advanced computing tasks from IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, Nasa or Lockheed, then their competitors learn about this news and come to my institute to make trouble. They know that their methods of making trouble are to terminate the operation and steal the operation data, and ask, how should we defend?"
This test question was customized for Ada and the other two. Although they had known each other for more than a day, Alice really wanted to train this magical girl from the same race. After all, not any ten-year-old kid could steal a stolen car in the middle of the night and storm a few kilometers all the way. Since she encountered such a weirdo, she certainly would not let it go easily.
"Well, that's it..." So, standing in the computer room on the second floor of the underground, Ada thought seriously. The short-haired girl hugged her arms and lowered her head. While thinking, she kept making a deep voice in her mouth. When she suddenly saw it, she was really pretty.
Then, she quickly gave the answer.
"The most violent way to terminate computer operation is to directly fire the chassis with a machine gun, or bombard the basement with rpg."
Alice: “………”
"Of course, this is the least effective method. So the second violent method is to directly cut off the power supply. Cutting off the power supply is divided into two methods. One is to first penetrate the second underground floor and directly execute a forced shutdown on the computer; the other is to understand the power supply system of the institute and achieve remote power outage by pulling the switch."
Alice: "What would you do if it were you?"
Ada recalled the process of entering the computer room and nodded vigorously, "First of all, I need to know the structural diagram of the institute, otherwise I will definitely not be able to do anything in the computer. Then, since I know the structural diagram, it is very simple to know the power supply system. Compared to personally crossing the security door and facing the computer host, the remote power outage of the shutter is obviously more feasible. ********** Liss: "Very good. So the second question is, what if you want to steal computing data?"
Ada thought seriously again, paused for half a minute, and then she said: "I will first consider network intrusion. If this computer is connected to an external network, whether it is the internal LAN of the institute or the wider outside world, I will directly select the target computer and implement network intrusion on this supercomputer to obtain the number..."
Alice couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Is it the inspiration brought to you by the 'exchange gate' incident?"
"Yes," Ada nodded seriously, "Miss Alice, don't look at me as old as I'm not that happened in my previous life."
Alice laughed: "Indeed, indeed, you were eight years old at that time and could remember this even if you were interested. What if you were not connected to the Internet?"
This is the most difficult problem. Without Internet connection, it means that the intruders may really need to go to this computer room on the second floor of the underground to carry out the closest physical invasion.
"No internet connection..." So, Ada was no longer stumped, frowned and thought hard. Alice watched from the side, of course she would not interrupt casually, just waiting to see what Ada could say.
"Impossible!" However, after a moment, Ada directly rejected the situation.
"It is impossible not to connect to the Internet, at least this one is absolutely impossible. If it is not connected to the Internet, your employees must always stay in the computer room and in front of the main console when using it. But this is obviously an unrealistic situation, at least in this research institute. You need to enter more than a dozen passwords and match them with fingerprint-verified security doors. It is obvious that people do not enter or exit casually!"
Ada said to her grandly, and at the end, she looked up hard at Alice: "This is my answer!"
What an answer, and after a good analysis, Alice was really surprised. She just simply raised a technical question, but Ada used behavioral psychology when answering. It was not simply considering how to "invade", but on-site investigations and specific analysis of specific questions was not uncommon for older people, but this girl was only ten years old after all.
"Very good." But looking at Ada's obvious desire to ask for praise, Alice simply praised her.
"So as you can see, Aida, this eta10-g/8 is the world's first supercomputer with a computing speed of over 10 billion times per second. In order to buy the first test machine back to my own research institute, I spent a very high cost and the advance payment was tens of millions. So guess what it is now operating?"
In the supercomputer in operation, Ada has long seen the flashing indicator lights everywhere. God knows when this operation started, and God knows what it is calculating, so Ada immediately guessed that Alice's problem must have a next step.
"You named the institute just a 'Computer Research Center'," she said. "But the development of computers only relies on the improvement of hardware functions, and the focus is on basic processes. In terms of software, you can already develop that... that Microsoft operating system, so there is definitely no need to set up a research center for this, so it is definitely not a software aspect."
In view of the information she currently has, Ada analyzed it seriously and step by step. During this whole process, Alice was to watch. It was impossible for the little girl to think so far away from the development of ternary computers. So what answer can she get?
If this girl can really get the answer she wants, then she might be able to reuse this potential appropriately...
"After all, the name of the Computer Research Center is very vague." Aida said: "So, this institution is just a trick. Are you really doing some secret experiments that cannot be known to the outside world!?"
Turning his back to the busy supercomputer chassis array, Alice smiled with satisfaction. (To be continued.)
